SEALed with a Promise by Mary Margret Daughtridge

This was the 2nd book I read by Mary Margret Daughtridge, the first was SEALed with a Kiss.  I liked the first book better.  This book was good, but didn't seem to keep my interest as much as the first one.

1st Football game of the year ~

Tuesday's Tidbits !

Today I took the boys for their yearly physical... which was a joke ... I DO NOT Like our Doctor and will be changing. The physical did not include... eye check, hearing check, shots, etc. He basically listened to their chest, mashed on their stomachs and that was IT ! Also, took Hayley in since she is running a temp.... guess what .... We are ALL on Tamiflu now !!!

After coming home I made a Dump Cake (thanks Carrie!!).

Kids, pool, cliff, sleep

Yesterday while me and Kaleb slept after spending time in the ER... Rik took Shelby, Shane and Shane's Dad to the Cliff. And then came home and took Hayley to the pool. Rik got an underwater camera while he was in California... so he took a couple of pics....

Urgent Care \scratch that ER Visit

Rik decided me and Kaleb needed to be seen by a Doctor, so we went to Urgent Care .. well, they don't take our insurance WHAT.. we have Tricare (military). So, on to the next Urgent care ... which also DID NOT take Tricare!!! Soooo, we went to the local ER. Which is was pleasently surprised that we were seen right away. After Chest xrays, strep swabs and flu swabs.. the diagnoses was FLU! The Dr gave me and Kaleb a RX for Tamiflu.

Icky FLU !!!!

I am SICK!!! Kaleb is SICK!!!

Meet The Player Night

Tonight was Meet The Player night at the High School. Here are a couple of pictures. They announced the band members by name and they came thru the tunnel. We have a new tunnel this year.. pretty nice !!!

Wordless Wednesday(a day late) -Cliff Jumping

Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornwell

Just finished this book today!!

It was a slow starting book, it was until the later chapters that the real excitement started, there was alot of back story in the beginning. But I was not disappointed at all.

Popcorn

I have always LOVED popcorn. Any excuse to pop some popcorn I am all in!!! Well, I may have overdone it.... midnight last night I went to see GI Joe ... got popcorn .. of course. Then today I took Hayley to the movies to see Aliens in the Attic.. and got popcorn again. Tonight my tongue hurts tonight !!! LOL

Aliens in the Attic

I took Hayley to see Aliens in the Attic today ! It was a really cute movie. I thought it was going to be a little too cartoony (is that even a word). There were alot of laughs in the movie and keep me from getting bored.

School shopping

I really do hate school shopping, when the kids went to a school that required uniforms it was much easier, or when they were just young enough to let me pick their clothes!!
Since we have had some changes in the last few months (bought new house, laid off, ect.) I have been trying to be thrifty with my shopping.

When we were down South at my parents, we went to the mall and Aeropostale had a great sale. We also got coupons for 40% off online. I ordered Shelby and Hayley some shirts.

Last weekend I had a 40% off coupon for Old Navy so I took Hayley shopping and got some great things. As we were leaving Old Navy, I spotted a store I had never been in... so we stopped in. The store was Justice for Girls -- how could I have missed this store, it has mostly NEON clothes!! Hayley was in heaven, I was in shock .. how could girls where some of the clothes?? Ekk .. anyway, after looking a the prices, I went straight to the clearance rack. I did find Hayley 2 skirts, that were normal colors!!

Soo, tomorrow we are going to the outlet mall to spend our PacLoot from Pac Sun . I hope that will be the end of school shopping, at least until October when the kids seen to out grown everything from the beginning of school !!

GI Joe movie

Well, I took Shelby and his friend to see G.I. Joe at midnight last night !!  WOW-- it was an awesome movie!!!!  The only bad thing was the theatre was packed and we sat in the 3rd row .. a little too close for me!!  Great movie!!
