Another girl's night (plus Steve)

Missee and Violet came over tonight for another sleep over. I am in heaven!!

We went to Mimi's Cafe for dinner (YUMM!) and then to Target so I could pick up a prescription and get some treats for tonight. We spent over an hour there! I got my prescription, got a treat (dinner and dessert at Mimi's filled me up too much that I didn't really want anything except raspberry sherbet). We walked around looking at things, somethings Missee wanted to buy and a few things I impulsively bought for Violet (A Princess Tiana - Princess and the Frog - doll, a Princess and the Frog coloring book, and some stickers).
When we got home Missee picked out a movie for us to watch - "The Others" (Nicole Kidman movie) and then after that was over we watched "Hush" (Gwenyth Paltrow, Jessica Lange and Johnathon Schaech). That just got over so Missee let me pick the movie. I picked "The Lake House" (Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves).

We just filed out taxes and should be getting our refund soon. When we get our refund we're paying some bills and I'm getting an IPod! My Zune broke a few months ago I was going to get an IPod then but couldn't afford to get one right then. So since then I have had to revert to using my old Sony AM/FM/CD Walkman and........CDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm debating between a 32 or 64 gig IPod Touch, but not sure yet.

Long week, even though I only worked four days

This has been a crazy week at work. One of my co-workers was out Tuesday through Thursday and another had today off and all next week too. With only 4 people in our department having one of us gone is a huge thing. So much stuff going on at work, we are sooo busy. I still love my job and my co-workers.
Tonight my sister is coming over for a girls night. We haven't had a girls night with just the two of us for soo long (if we ever have had one - I can't remember). I love my family (including my in-laws).

It's been awhile.....

Because of computer problems (laptop's cord stopped working and I had to wait to get a new one) I haven't been able to post anything. Now I can!!!

Steve and I just spent this weekend in Idaho with his sister's family. We visited Carrie, Tim, Daniel and the newborn twins James and William. Steve and I got to hold babies A LOT!!! I loved it and it made my baby hungriness a little bit worse. Carrie and Tim have both threatened not to let us go home since we are helping them a lot. Daniel and Hunter have been playing a lot but last night Hunter got overwhelmed with Daniel. Every time Hunter tried to sit down and relax Daniel would sit on him, climb on top to hug him, or do something else that annoyed Hunter. If Carrie asked Daniel to leave Hunter alone for a little bit Daniel would start crying. It was soo cute! I felt bad for Hunter though, he's not used to having someone try to spend every waking second with him trying to play with him, sit on him, or annoy him.

Driggs Idaho is such a small town, I don't think I could survive living in such a small town. Carrie and Tim love it. My mom's best friend, Louise, lives in Terreton Idaho which is even smaller than Driggs. I enjoy living in such a big town. I love living within 10 minutes of a mall, movie theater, grocery store, gas station, work, and the freeway. My mom could live in a small town, but my dad wouldn't be able to so they wont ever move to a small town.

A funny thing that happened tonight.....

Steve and I spent part of the day at my parent's house with my sister and her friend. We watched "Twilight" and talked, it was so much fun.

Steve and I left around 8 and since we had been gone the whole day I decided to get the mail. I noticed that I had something from my OB/GYN's office and it looked like a check. I was excited thinking of getting some extra money. The check was for $0.03! It cost about 10 times more than that to mail the dang thing to us. I figured that I didn't need to be in a rush to cash it since it was for a small amount and so I don't think that I will cash it. The teller gets paid more money in the time it takes to cash the check than the check is actually worth. I really don't need the money, especially since it's not even close to being a dollar. At least I could buy something off the dollar menu at McDonald's or Burger King. I can't even find a penny gumball machine so I could get three gumballs.

At least it made me laugh.

They are finally here!!!

I've been slacking on my blog. I really need to post more often but I forget and get busy with other things in life, like.....Scouts, physical therapy, work, family.
My sister-in-law, Carrie, just gave birth this afternoon to twin boys, James and William. James was 6 lbs. and 9 oz. and William was 4 lbs. and 11 oz. Steve and I just tripled the amount of nephews we have on his side of the family. We went from only Daniel to Daniel and his two baby brothers. My mother-in-law and Father-in-law, Dale and Babara, just doubled the amount of grandkids they currently have. I am so excited for Carrie and Tim. Carrie and the boys should be home in time for us to see them on Thanksgiving. Steven and I decided to split our time spending Thanksgiving with family in three. Last year we spent with my family, this year with Tim and Carrie and next year with Steve's parents. That way Hunter will get a chance to go to a different place every time we have him for Thanksgiving. We get Hunter for Thanksgiving on the years that end in an even number.
I can't wait to go up for Thanksgiving and be able to see the babies. There will be so many people there that it may be difficult to be able to spend a lot of time with either of them. The twins are doing very well and within a few hours of being born were in the room with Carrie and she was trying to breastfeed them. I am so thankful that they arrived before we got up there and that both of them are healthy.
Now....I wonder who will be the next couple to have a child. On my side of the family I have a divorced sister who is not planning on any more kids right now, a sister-in-law who has had a hysterectomy and a sister-in-law that is done having kids. On Steve's side of the family he has another sister who is currently not planning on having any kids, but his younger brother and his wife are probably going to start trying soon.
So...unless Steve and I are next my guess would be Brad and Camille will be the next to have a kid.

Were my eyes deceivingme?

I was driving home from an appointment with my doctor when I saw the strangest thing. I actually did a double-take. I saw a couple walking their dog (normal right?) the right behind them was a guy walking his.........................................................................................................................................

........pet goat! Weirdest thing I've seen for a while. It actually made me LOL!!!!

One day closer to the weekend....

Steve and I watched tonight's episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD) and we're so excited about this season! I don't think that out of the dancers who were left, any of my favorites were cut. A lot of the dancers that I liked made it! Steve and I can't wait for the next episode with their first dances.

Steve and I have this fun game we play. We have a small plastic bee that we named "Barnabee." We hide him all over the apartment trying to scare each other. Steve has not gotten me once, yet. I, on the other hand, have gotten him almost every time I've tried. I love it and it makes me laugh when I hear Steve yell a little because he found Barnabee in his bathroom sink. (I found Barnabee in my bathroom sink first but just laughed and put him in Steve's bathroom). Here are a few pictures of Barnabee:

































I can't remember where we got Barnabee but we used to have his cousin, a large plastic ant. We never named him but Steve did scare me with it once. I was going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and it looked like a shadow of an ant and it scared me, but so far that's the only time I've gotten scared. I think the ant started the whole "scare-ing" game we are now playing with Barnabee. I think the ant was thrown out before we moved but somehow the bee came with us. It's nice innocent fun that makes me laugh and Steve laughs too whenever I get him again. Life is good.
