Good Morning Vicki!

Sending Vicki her good morning picture from Barstow....I hope it brightens her day when I send her random pictures...she's really happy with her new adventure in life with her sweet husband but she also misses us...here we are on our way to church....the boys are trying to not notice me taking their picture for their sister!

A Simple Wedding

Victoria and Adrian got married today!!! We are so excited for them and wishing them the best! Super sad we couldn't be there for it but the two of them wanted a simple wedding with just the two of them and none of the stress that a wedding causes. And since the parents of the groom did not want these two to get married they both thought it would just be a much nicer day if it was just the two of them. Neither of them wanted to look back on anything other than the happiness of the day for the two of them! Vicki sent me a cute video while they were exchanging their vows and their first kiss as husband and wife and this one solo picture! I told them to take more, but this was the picture they took and liked for their day! So now our family has grown and we have a wonderful son in law who we have known since Vicki was about in third grade! Sending lots of love to North Carolina!!!

First Legal Drive

Vicki drove legally with me for the first time this morning. She drove us home from the gym. It was a slow choppy drive but she didn't hit any other cars or people or animals, so all was good.

Parking wasn't too bad either! 😜😂😂

Vicki Loves Noel's Toys

Vicki wants this toy! Me too!!!! Maybe for
Christmas!!!

The Hamster Ball

The Fall Festival had a really fun venue! A giant hamster ball! Vicki tried it first. She crawled in, the guy strapped her in, she had handles to hold on to, and than he rolled her all over the lawn. She loved it!

This is Vicki starting to climb in......

Vicki being rolled around.....there was LOTS of

giggling and screaming.......

Ed decided to try it.....once his Marines found out

he was in the hamster ball they took over......

There were several Marines having fun rolling him

all over the lawn instead of the lone guy who rolled

Vicki and I around.....

The 1st Sgt got an extra long turn!!!

Normally there are two people strapped in at a time

but due to how windy it was and only this one guy

working this venue there was only one person allowed

in the ball at a time for safety.

I give it a 2 thumbs up!

Going To The Counter On Her Own

Vicki is getting her permit....she is 18....she gets to go to the counter all by herself now....

Does Vicki Have A Secret Life?

Today was the day Vicki did her fingerprints at the Recruiting Office. They kept teasing her asking if she had a secret life, etc. She kept giggling and saying no. The report came back and she has no secret life. I really wasn't surprised!

Aqua Bootcamp

Vicki and I went to a new class today. It was from 8:30-10:00 am at the New River gym. It was a great class. Vicki and I were the only girls. The mermaids, me and Vicki, totally dominated the deep water part of the work out. Vicki dominated the whole class, the little show off. Just kidding. She did totally awesome! I was dying with the land part! The sit ups, squats, and push ups were kicking my booty! And planking alternating with push ups, TOTALLY not my thing! But it was a great class and definitely want to keep doing this class!!!

Patriotic Toes

Mine and Vicki's toes were in desperate need of a pedicure. We decided to go today before Hurricane Arthur hit. I managed to survive. My feet are super ticklish so it is kinda torturous for me but my feet needed this done big time! I managed not to kick the guy and now I have cute toes! Vicki and I left with nautical patriotic toes! While we were getting out toes done our area went into a State of Emergency, things were shutting down and so Vicki's recruiter came into the nail salon to get the rest of the signatuures he needed from me. The paperwork The Dude in Cammies had sent from Wyoming with his signiture for Vix to go into the Army underage had come in and so the Recruiter wanted to get all the paperwork in before the 4th of July long weekend holiday and before they closed down the recruiting office since they were closing early to get everyone home to have time to secure their homes before Arthur hit later tonight. Now that was one LONG sentance!!! So, paperwork got submitted and our toes turned out pretty darn cute!!!

All Girls Walking

All the girls went for a walk this morning together. I took Jasper after. Bella did her normal 2 poops and of course Leah NEVER poops in public! She will stop mid poop if she sees you looking at her in the backyard, so when she is pooping we avoid looking at her! Bella is a pooper! I had seen her poop in the back yard before we left and than she gave me 2 piles to pick up on our 30 minute walk. Silly girl! She has gained 4 pounds since she had her "no babies with Jasper" surgery so she is getting daily walks to keep the lil piggie from getting any fatter!!!

It's A Hypothesis....

Ryan and i went out for a frozen yogurt. While he was eating i noticed the shirt he was wearing was getting small on him. It is one of his favorite shirts and i remembered when it was actually too big on him! Now i could see the bones of his shoulders at the seams, the seams that no longer were lower than his shoulders!!
I said, "Ryan you have been growing! That shirt is getting too small on you. What have you been doing to grow?!!!
Ryan continued shoveling in his frozen yogurt and just kind of looked over at me. In between bites he nonchalantly said this...."If you scream at grass it will grow. Vicki is always yelling at me, so I'm growing.....(long pause) It's a hypothesis Mom. And he just continued eating his frozen yogurt while i almost choked on mine cracking up! He is sooo funny! I love these times just chit chatting with him.  

Yummy Colorful Cake

I finally made this cake Vix has been wanting me to make. Yep, too much butter, too many eggs....it was delicious! After just a couple bites I was feeling quite full of cake, but I ate it all, every last bite!!!!  YUM! On a side note.....i bought some really fun plates from Thailand.....they each had a different chick dressed all fun carrying dessert. I bought a LOT of these plates and whenever one of my friends would have a birthday i would bake a cake and take her over a giant piece on her own Birthday Plate. I have a few left and whenever i eat off of one it brings back fun memories of taking cake over to differnt super fun friends from Okinawa!

 

Vicki & Drew

I had started this post a little while ago and would just upload pictures from my phone.....but than i guess i waited to long so now i have changed it from a post that had started about boyfriends.....to now they are just friends....

 

Vicki has been friends with Drew since 8th grade. They started liking each other last year.....they just recently switched to being just friends....I think she is a little sad but they still hang out and do things together and she just went to his High School graduation, they were in the same class until she decided to graduate a year ealy! I am glad they are friends so she can think more about what she wants to do with her life instead of factoring choices around him......

Oh, the arrow is pointing at a bruise left behind from Joseph Kirwan. We have known them for a LONG time and Vicki has known his family since before he was born. vicki was with me on the day they were packing out and they were who knows what but she hit him he hit her back somewhere along the while of sweeping and cleaning and almost empty house. They are totally like brothers and sisters to each other.....anyways he was driving to Texas with Kelli (his Mom) to meet up with the rest of the family who had left in the earlier departure and so i sent him that picture telling him a part of him was still in NC, so the arrow and bruise has nothing to do with Vicki and Drew.....

vicki would go to Drews soccer games so he wouldn't have to drive all by himself and she would take pictures....

I think this is one of their very first pictures when they started officially liking each other....

They have fun taking pictures....

sometimes Vicki just doesn't want her picture taken....

Lots of car trips for soccer games!

But i am glad they stayed friends.....

 

Next Friday The 13th & Full Moon....

The next full moon to fall on Friday the 13th will be on Victoria's 53rd Birthday!!!

In the meantime just......

Throw Back Thursday...A Year Ago

Wow!!! It has been a year....she was 16....now she is 17.....

Vicki Is Catching A Train

Vicki had fun with the Adolpho's up in Virginia and DC and now it's time to head back to NC. She's catching a train home. She called and said there are some crazy people there and she is doing some serious people watching!!!

Mothers Day Photo's

The girls took some pictures today...well all but Leah the wolf! She was happy under the deck chillin' with the spiders! It has been a wonderful Mothers Day with my kiddos and furry kiddos!

Vix Is Taking Over My Cardio!

Vicki has discovered that cutting the grass is an awesome work out!!! She has taken over my cardio!!! Maybe i will get it back when we get into the triple digits, but for now she has highjacked it from me....

Jasper thinks he is her grass cutter coach! he just barks out commands!

There he is...just pacing along back and forth.....

Watermelon Oreo's?!!!

Vicki and i were runnin errands tonight and we stumbled on lemon oreos which we had been looking for when The Dude in Cammies was visiting and than we found watermelon oreos too! Lemon good, watermelon, ewwww!!!!!

We Found Lemon Oreos!

Sooo excited finding Lemon Oreo's! Was starting to wonder if Ed had dreamed seeing them! But they were real and Vicki and i saw them at Target! We bought them and had to take a picture to send to Ed! Jasper was pouting because i told them they were not for him! haha!!!
