A Way to Pay for 3 Tuitions

Next week, Thursday night, I am having a Partylite Party at my house at 7:00. I am doing it as a "Starter Party". What that means is that dollar for dollar, what people spend will go directly towards my kit for becoming a Partylite Consultant. I've been praying about our finances, especially with Josiah possibly starting kindergarten at NCS in the fall and this opportunity presented itself, and so I'm going for it. We'll see how God opens or closes this door. So if any of you want to come to my party, feel free, or if you wanna book a party lemme know and I'd be happy to do that for ya!

Thanks Guys!

Thanks for all the well wishes for my birthday! I really did have a happy one :)

This is one of the only pics that I was able to download from my birthday. There was an error on the card as I was downloading them, and now I can't see any of them. But at least I got one with me and my three peanuts! Too bad I didn't get the one with me and my whole family, including Goofy :(

Thanks again! Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday to ME!

So, today was my birthday. I woke up with Josh in bed with me, then Micaela climbed in, then Josiah climbed over me and Micaela to lay between me and Josh. He sweetly & sleepily looked up at me and said, "Mommy, is TODAY your birthday?" To which, I of course answered, "Yep! Thanks for remembering! And the best gift you could give me is to promise to me a really good boy today."

Then, my oldest 2 got up to get ready for school. Michael had ironed their clothes last night so I could sleep in a little bit. My mom came and took them to school so I didn't have to get moving quite so early. When she got home, we went to brunch with my sister and niece to Schooner or Laters, which is down in the Los Alamitos Bay. It was a BEAUTIFUL day! After we ate, we drove down to "the rocks", a place where we used to go fishing when I was really little. My mom & dad would fish, and my brother & sister would catch spider-crabs and chase me with them.hehe. We took some pictures there (but with a disposable camera so I can't post them.)

About 1:00 they dropped me off at home, and Michael woke up and we went to pick up Josh & Micaela from school at 2:00. Then it was off to Downtown Disney to buy me some new sunglasses I'd been eyeing, and to California Adventure to ride the new Monsters Inc. ride. It was AWESOME! I'll post pics from that later. I don't have them downloaded yet, and I'm laying in bed typing this...the joys of a laptop...hehe!

When we were at Downtown Disney, we went to Build-a-Bear and the kids stuffed me a Bearthday Bear named Cinnamon. They all helped stuff it. She has 3 hearts in her, which they all did the little dance with, and they all helped fluff her up. That's my present from them. I love her! :)

We took the kids to church at 6:00 and then me and Mikey went to BJs for dinner. We had a very nice time, enjoying pizza and pizookie. yummy!

Then I came home and watched my wonderful shows that were finally on with new shows. And now I'm in bed typing this, and letting some medicine take effect and now, I'm going to sleep.

That was my birthday. Very busy, but VERY nice! I really enjoyed all of it. Thanks to my mom and sis and niece and son for lunch, for my husband and kids for Disneyland and my husband for dinner. I love you all with my whole heart!

Happy 2006!

Happy New Year to you all! We ended 2005 with a little get-together at our house. We had a few friends from church and our families over. We played Cranium, sang Karaoke, and watched the ball drop. I think this is the first year that the kids did NOT go outside and bang pans and yell and run around the yard. Then. after most people had left, we got out 3 of Michael's guitars, and Michael, Ryan (from church) and our brother-in-law, Greg, had a jam session til 1:00 a.m. It was fun! It stunk that it was so late, so they didn't get to play as long as they would've liked to, but we'll just have to have them over to do it again! :) We had to be at church at 9:00 the next morning, so getting to bed at 2:30 (after cleaning up the kitchen) was late enough for me!

O ya, and we bought a new laptop computer! YEAH! Now I have a big enough hard drive to not worry about my pictures, and it has a DVD burner, not only CD, so that'll help with storage of my pictures. It's really nice, and we got a great deal on it at Costco. We had to have a little bit more expense for MJ Solutions in 2005, and really needed a new computer, so that's what we did. I love it! I must say, wireless internet is awesome! I can sit on the couch with Michael as he watches tv, and I can check our email and read everyone's blogs. I really love it! hehe

Ok, enough for now! Hope all of you had a great end of 2005 and beginning of 2006! May God bless you in awesome ways in this coming year!
