The last couple of weeks

Hello everyone it's time to update you on the last two weeks. So two weekends ago was the family reunion. It was a fun time granted Sean's allergies were acting up and Gabe was hot and sleepy. My grandpa came. Its been really nice lately, he has been going to all of the parties. He hasn't done that in 10 years. It's really good to see him out and about.

Last week my car died, and then it died again, so I had buy a new battery.Which of course wasn't in the plan but I'm just glad that, that is all my car needed. :)

Last weekend Gabe stayed with Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy went to Indianapolis, Indiana for UFC 119. It was a pretty good drive up there about 6 hours, but we had a good time. Our hotel room had a jacuzzi tub which was a great treat after the long trip in the car. Our seats were pretty high up but we had a great view of the octagon. By the time we got back to the hotel room I was worn out and had a GREAT nights sleep, which i think is my favorite part of any trip :)

Yesterday, I finally got a call from Gabe's doctor. He is going to have his surgery on November 12. It looks like everything is going to work out this time, so keep your fingers crossed. We have already talked to the Ins company and it looks like we are going to have to pay about $3000 of the $7000ish that it actually costs.

This weekend we are going to take Gabe shopping for his Halloween costume. I think he is going to be a monkey :) and then Gabe and I are going to go with Grandma to the corn maze. I'm looking forward to a fun weekend.

Scrapbooking

Ok so I went to hobby lobby yesterday and was completely surprised by the scrapbooking section. I had been there before, however at that time it only took up about 2.5 isles and now it takes up around 5. I was totally amazed by the number of stickers.

Now for my problem...I can't find what I'm looking for. Don't get me wrong it's a great selection and I know they group things by brand or whatever but wouldn't it be easier if all of the zoo stuff was together or if all of the princess stuff was together and so on. You know like they do with the birthday cards, for him, for her, funny, etc.

I also saw this "scrapbooking tote" that has compartments for everything which would be nice because right now I have all my stuff in a suitcase and it just has one big compartment and all my stuff gets jumbled around. My only problem is that it is $70, and you can buy a lot of stickers and paper with that money. We need a scrapbook store that's cheep for all of us poor people who love it :)

It's been a while since I have scrapbooked probably around 2003 so starting up again was tons of fun :) but as you get started again you find things that you need and being a mom its hard to find an hour to sit down and do it without anyone bothering you, and its even harder when you waste your hour buying what you need and not getting to sit down and actually scrapbook.

Oh well I am having fun doing a book for Gabe, he is getting so big and I feel like I need a page for everything in his life. I also have a Girl Scout book that I haven't finished and I'm also thinking about doing a book for Abbi with her baby shower, belly bump pictures and of course hospital pics of Lorelai.

Now to find the time. Wish me luck. :)

Baby shower, Sick, Chiefs and Words

Well the baby shower was great. I got there around 11:45 to set up and it started at 2:00. It was very cute & Abbi got lots of good stuff. I had her sit up on the stage to open her presents. She wasn't to thrilled about it but it was a good vantage point for everyone else. I of corse took losts of pictures. It wouldn't be me if I didn't. :)

I wasn't feeling well yesterday not sure what was going on. It must have been a 24 hour bug. I woke up and my nose was running, my eyes were itchy, and watering, I had a sore throat, and eating made my tummy feel awful. Anyway I'm glad to say that I woke up feeling much better.

Last night was the first Chiefs game and we won!! This must be a good sign for the rest of the season, at least I hope so. Cross your fingers! :)

I have a little parrot in my house now, my little boy pretty much repeats everything from "water" to "boop" to "thank you" pretty much anything he can figure our how to say.

One more week

Ok well we got the Axiom fixed today but we just picked it up so there wasn't enough time to get the license renewed. That will be my project for Monday. I'm glad that this will be done soon :)

We went to Cristy's Birthday party last weekend and had lots of fun.

I'm getting very excited about this weekend, I couldn't be happier that its Friday. Abbi's Baby Shower is this weekend and should be lots of fun.

Scrapbooking and Impatiently Waiting

Well my new ins is in effect. I sent in the card to the lady for Gabe's surgery and now its just a waiting game to see if we have to be pre-approved. At that point we can schedule the appointment, hopefully it will be some time soon.

I also tried to get life ins for Gabe but of course we cant get it until after his surgery. UGH

On Saturday the girls came over and we scrapbooked I had lots of fun and continued to scrapbook for an hour or two after they left. I cant wait till we can do it again in the mean time I have to print out more pictures. I'm thinking a bath time page and a zoo page and we will have to see what else I can come up with. :)

For the rest of this month we are very busy. We work all the time and we have something planned every weekend. Granted I expect all of it to be fun, but very hectic trying to keep everything strait.
