This one goes out to Nate... The True "Bad Boy"

So today I pulled up to a stoplight next to the "ultimate bad boy" and wished our good friend Nate could be in the car with me to witness what I saw. Next to me on a shiny green motorcycle was a guy in jeans, flip flops, no helmet, a barbwire tat around his arm, shown off nicely by the wife beater tank top he was wearing. Once I looked over at him and smiled- because I was about to laugh, he must have thought the smile was just for him and he threw me a wink!! What! Yep, got my two kids in the back and I am listening to the wiggles on the radio- but being the bad boy he is, he thinks everyone thinks he is hot. After a nice rev of the engine, he took off up the hill and mock 100 leaving me laughing and wishing Nate could have seen it all. I miss the bad boys of DC.

moms club fieldtrips

We have had a couple of great fieldtrips with moms club this month...
Braden was in heaven at the firestation tour. He got to climb in the truck, touch the truck, have a tour of the firestation, and see them put up the big ladder. He had a great time!
And we had a fun trip to the pumpkin patch. We went on a hayride and were able to pick out our own pumpkins. Braden came away with a pumpkin.... and a girlfriend. (I need to keep an eye on him!)

great to see the epersons

dave and jenni it was so great to see you!! come back anytime!!

Island Woes

I hate having family pictures taken... but being a picture- aholic, I must get one every year. Especially since we didn't have one with Camiron in it yet. But living on an island your choices are limited- very very limited. So we have to go to Sears because there really aren't many other choices.
I had things well planned this year- the clothes, arranging a day when Troy could actually be there, a choice time when the kids would be the happiest- I know all you mothers know what I am talking about.
So you will all understand my frustration when after our "ok" photo session I send Troy home with the kids and sit down to pick out some pictures. (I even planned ahead to have Troy and I drive seperate cars so I could decide on the pictures in peace). Much to my dismay- she only took 3- yes count that on less than a hand, 3 family pictures, none of which I liked. I was sorely disappointed. She did get some cute ones of the kids on their own, but at this point there is nothing I can do, Troy and the kids are gone, the photo moment is gone for another year, and I am left with the sad decision of spending money on a large picture for my wall that I don't like. I ended up picking the one where Braden looked the best. Its all about making the kids look good right?
At this time I am jealous of all who don't live on an island :)

twilight series....

*** if you are planning to read all three... but haven't yet- then don't read this blog entry!!*****



After finishing all three books.... I personally am in love with Jacob. Everyone seems to love Edward- so I just had to put it out there the Jacob is my favorite character. I really wanted Bella to choose him, but since finishing have decided that she doesn't deserve him- she is much too whiney and self centered. Did she start to bother anyone else? I really wish that the next book was from Jacobs perspective- but I don't think I will be so lucky.
I just had to put my opinion out there, now I want to know what everyone else thinks?
