First Card

Lyci has a birthday party to go to tonight, so we decided to make a card and not buy. Lyci and I made it together. I think it turned out pretty good. Brian thinks it looks nice. I used my cricut for all the letters and cut outs. I love that thing, one of the best things Brian has bought me. I would recommend it to anyone who scrapbooks. Then I used a sticker maker in place of glue.

Blog Tag

A couple of days ago I was tagged by Liberty. Now I have to tell 10 things about myself. This is hard to do, but I will do my best.

1. I love my job, but would do anything to be a stay at home mom again.

2. I really want to make the time to scrapbook.

3. I am addicted to tv, we have a TIVO with every tv in our house.

4. Texas is where I want to live the most, maybe it will happen some day.

5. Kinda sad, this next one, but it popped into my head. It has been 10 and a half years since Desi died and I still miss her as much today, as the year it happened.

6. I have a big mouth. I know you are thinking, no way Destine, not you. But yes it is true. i have a tendancy to say what I am thinking, when I should not. Another teacher on my team said they were glad I was around, cause what they are thinking and too scarred to say, is coming out of my mouth. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not :) I need a strainer over my mouth sometimes, I say something and in my mind I am grabbing at the words trying to make them come back. Oh well, I guess there are worse things to be then out spoken.

7. If Brian would let me, I would have way too many dogs. I just love dogs and the love they give. Having a pet really makes your family better.

8. When I retire, I want to bred and show English Bulldogs. I have this idea, of Brian and I loading up an RV with our dogs and traveling from show to show. Of course, this will never happen, b/c Brian is not crazy like I am.

9. I am hopefully getting a new car around Christmas. We desperately need something bigger, the kids are crammed in my little Accord.

10. Lets see, this needs to be a good one since it is the last, oh I got it. Brian is my favorite perosn on this planet. After 12 years of marriage, I still get butterflies when he kisses me. Our kids are so used to us just totally in make out sessions, they ignore it... well actually Riain says, "OHHHH making out with teacher" which usually makes us laugh. They have grown up seeing us being very affectionate with eachother. I think that is why they are affectionate. I love that we are this way. I can not say enough how much I love to be around him.

Well there you go. Talk to you soon.

First Scrimmage

Saturday was our first scrimmage game. Riain played pretty well, but as a team it was painful. We are on a team with only 3 kids that have ever played before. Riain being one of them. I think by the time games start we will be a little better. Riain is on the field the entire game. Once we play a full game he will be exhausted.

Here is a pic from the end of out first game. Do not worry, this is the beginning of our season for all three and there will be tons of pics. I am also going to try and do some video from the games too.

For those of you who did not know,Brian is coaching Riain's team this year. He just said to me yesterday how much he loved it, and how many other Dad's get to be on the field when their son is playing. I know Riain loves it as much as Brian does.

Life Then... Life Now...

Then...Mommy I want a dinosaur. Now...I want a new cell phone.

Then...I want a four pack chicken nugget. Now...I want an 8 piece.

Then...Mommy, I need bubble bath. Now...Mom, I am out of shaving cream.

Then...Barney's I love you, you love me. Now...I need 500 dollars in ones, it's time to ball out.

Then...I want a kiss. Now...I want 5 dollars.

Then...Can I please have some juice. Now...Mom, get me a frapiccino.

Then...Mommy I need your help. Now...No thanks, I can do it myself.

I miss back then!!!!
