Just a funny Ann Marie story

Ann Marie: Emma, here's you water

Emma screams, then starts crying

Ann Marie runs down stairs

Mom: What happened?

Emma: Ann Marie dumped water on me

Mom: Ann Marie is this what happened

Ann marie: Yup

Mom: Did you do it on purpose?

Ann Marie: Yup

Mom: Why

Ann Marie: Cause Emma didn't want the cup I brought her, she wanted it in a sippy

Now this is just from my perspective but I think Emma got what she deserved. I talked to her about her using Ann Marie as a slave...only time will tell if she got the picture.

These Pictures were so amazing I had to lower the quality just to get them on to Blogger.

Thanks again Sis.

Funny Sarah Story

2010-09-01T11:07:00.001-07:00

Two things before I tell this story. Roy has taught Sarah where here belly button is, aka "button", also where her "Pudgies" are, her little fat thighs.

Ok so I am laying on the floor on my tummy and Sarah comes up and lifts up my shirt exposing a small part of my back and exclaims "no button". She continues to look for my button including in my shirt sleeve. She looks one more time on my back and squeezes my waist and says "pudgies".

OUCH! Sarah, did you just called me fat?

Oh well the innocence of children

Sarah 15 Months

2010-07-04T18:04:00.000-07:00

Well I have to say I have one super beautiful baby, or maybe it's my sister that takes such amazing pictures and makes my baby look super beautiful :) you can decide.
She is about 18 months now these were taken the last time we visited in Idaho. I have so much fun with my sister Anna and she is just that talented to be able to help me with all the fun stuff I need.

Mom Overboard

2010-02-28T13:34:00.000-08:00

Roy tells me that I go to too much trouble on little things. For example for sarah's blessing I made some small "Chinese Food" looking boxes for the kids to take home that had treats in them. It was so much fun, and I have to say I love doing crafty stuff like that. Did I go overboard this time? I dont know for sure but Roy thinks I have Carple Tunnel (spelling?) from it.

On saturday we celebrated Ann Marie's 4th birthday. It was a princess party, I had a blast just watching the girls run around in their dress up.

The Invitation

The Cake

13 Handmade Gift Bags

I also printed out a picture of Ann Marie wearing a tiara and made a "Pin the Tiara on the Princess" game. The kids had tons of fun playing in the castle and dancing, unfortunately my camera was running low on batteries so pictures are limited.

I Blame the Groundhog!

2010-02-11T12:07:00.000-08:00

Well its been snowing here since before i woke up this monring and there is no sign of stopping yet.
It has been a lot of fun playing with the girls out in the snow...driving in it, not so fun. well I'm safe and snuggly in my house waiting for the flakes to stop snowing. happy winter everyone

IT"S SNOWING!!!

2009-12-02T05:44:00.000-08:00

That's right, at this very moment in my small little area of Dallas texas it is Snowing!!! The girls are so excited and Ann Marie already has a red nose and frosty fingers from playing outside. Even sarah had a small taste of the cold air.

Fun with Granny

2009-09-06T17:39:00.000-07:00

My mom came to visit this week and we had a blast. She doesnt leave till Wednesday, but I had to get some of these pictures up before I had too many Warning before you start scrolling, there are a lot of pictures.

At the Dallas World Aquarium and Zoological Center

Making Apple Pie....mmmmm

Being Silly and Playing Games

Ica Skating at the Galleria Mall in Dallas

At the Splash Park in Roanoke

We also went to Color Me Mine ceramic painting store, it was lots of fun but we forgot to bring our cameras. I will have to post pictures of the girl's finished products when I get them. I may have to post more pictures after she leaves, who knows what fun we will have in the next few days.

Not so Little Anymore sad face

2009-08-25T06:29:00.000-07:00

Well today was Emma's first day of Kindergarten with Miss Wolf, at Clara Love Elementary, she is officially a "Little Texan". It is amazing to watch your kids grow up so fast. Surprisingly the only person that was crying...Ann Marie. No, she was not mourning the loss of her sister, she was crying because she didn't get to stay and color a picture. Poor little sisters always trailing behind their big sisters...we will do something special today.

Summer Love

2009-07-13T08:44:00.000-07:00

Recently our ward has been changed. our boundries changed and we were moved to a new building. As such we had a few members join, one little boy, Hunter, happens to be in Emmas class. This post will review the summer romance or Emma and Hunter

Day 1 Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I sat in front of this cute boy in Sacrament meeting today. I couldn't keep my eyes off him, I kept turning around so much it was driving my parents crazy. He has blazing red hair, I know our kids would be just absolutely adorable.

What Luck! the cute boy is 5 and is in my CTR5 class. I just found out his name is Hunter, I wish I had something cute to say to him to get his attention.

Emma: As she hands Hunter a small heart trinket, "I love you"
Hunter: Handing emma back the Trinket "I love you"
Emma: "We are in love"

He Loves Me!!! I am sad that church will be over soon and it will be so long before I see him again.

Day 2-7

Everyday I think about Hunter, I have even told my parents about him. They laugh. I know I will marry him. I wish I could have invited him to my birthday party I can't wait to see him again.

Day 8 Sunday, July 12th, 2009

My Granny called today to wish me happy birthday. I told her all about Hunter, she says to make sure I get married in the temple...I will.

I can't wait to get back to church and she his beautiful red hair...ooooh he is so cute.

As I run to find my seat in the chapel I see him, I turn around and flash my most beautiful smile and wave. I ask my mom if I can go sit with him, but she says no. I will see him in class again.

On our way home I hear my parents talking about inviting his family over for dinner, I am so nervous, am I actually going to meet his parents so soon. Is this going to fast I wonder?

Well I'm sure those were not Emma's thoughts exactly, but now you atleast have an idea of what we have been going through for the last week. It's kinda cute, Hunter's parents keep talking to us at church about all the cute things they do in primary. I hope Emma doesnt get carried away, all little girls go through this stage...Right?

How Much I Love to Fly

2009-06-11T08:05:00.000-07:00

I've been meaning to post this for a while because I found it utterly hilarious and also realized how much the airlines are really trying to screw us.

On My recent flight hom from california, traveling on United (the same airline I had issues with last time and the only reason I was flying them again was because they sent me vouchers from the last incident.) with all 3 of my kids and no Roy I was confronted with the issue of all 3 kids trying to fall asleep at the same time. As I watched their heads bob back and forth or considered the pain they were in laying on the arm rests I asked the stewardess if they had any pillows and blankets, remembering that I had seem some in First Class. Our Conversation:

Me "Do you have any pillows and blankets?" pointing at my drifting children
Stewardess "Oh no, we dont offer those anymore because of the Swine Flu"
Me "I saw some in first class"
Stewardess "Let me see if there are any left"

She of course comes back and hands me a few. What kind of a reply is that? they Swine Flu, of all excuses to use. I mean she was basically stating, in not so many words, that people that can afford first class are immune to the Swine Flu, and the rest of us common folk are not. What a load of... Even now thinking back on it I still cannot comprehend what stupid person came up with that excuse, was it something they were told by higher authorities or something she came up with on the spot. Either way, I am still thuroughly dissapointed in the airlines today. WOW they must think we are ignorant.

Texas Weather

2009-06-11T07:49:00.001-07:00

Well I have to say that Texas has the most extreme weather. One minute its sunny and the nest you are watching the neighbors trampoline blow over your fence.

I was talking to my sister on the phone and all of the sudden rain was falling from the sky blowing sideways. Roy had just set a nes post from the last storm we had that blew over our fence. Our wheelbarow was blowing around and all my pation furniture. And as we were watching out the back window the neighbors trampoline started moving and blew right into our fence. as you can tell it is not a small trampoline. In the middle of the storm Roy is over there taking the trampoline down and disassembling it.

We called our friends Jeni and Tim Gandy to make sure everything was ok over there. They were not home during the storm but came home to an utter disaster. In this picture tanken from the Gandy home you can see straight through 3 back yards, the trampoline is flipped over with bags of something, not sure what it was, holding it down. Their fence was also blown completely over on the other side also.

We lost power for only about 2 hours so I guess we were considerably lucky, there was a tornado that touched down at the walmart in the neighboring city and they lost power for I don't know how long. We had ordered pizza not more than 30 minutes before this storm but sad to say it was unable to be delivered.

While talking to my sister on my cell phone trying to figure out when the storm was going to be over, I was assured that we had seen the worst of it and it was done, not more than a 10 minute storm. But as I tried to sleep last night I couldnot because of the fierce thunder and lightning ALL NIGHT LONG. And what did I get to wake up to this morning? MORE RAIN. Well its not as bad as it wats last night, but with Roy going out of town basically all week its hard to keep the kids cooped up in the house all day.

Well that is my drama for the week.

Memorial Day

2009-05-25T22:16:00.000-07:00

This morning the girls and I headed to a Memorial Day Celebration in Gridley with Roy's family. As we are driving there the girls are, of course, asking every question they can think of, so I start explaining;

Me: "Memorial day is the day we remember all the people that fought in the wars"

Emma: "What is a war?"

Me: "A war is where people fight and lots of people die"

Emma: "good people or bad people?"

Me: "Both, good people and bad people fight in a war and some get killed"

So we find our seats and the Ceremony starts with some beautiful music and Memorial Services. Emma and I head to the back where the shade is and stand there for a while. After about 30 minutes of being there Emma looks up at me and says,

"When are they going to start killing eachother?"

WOW! I could not help but laugh out loud and I hope that no one else heard her. I promply discussed with her the fact that this was just a time to remember what happened not that they were going to fight and kill right then.

What will that girl come up with next?

Reminiscing

2009-05-05T13:04:00.000-07:00

I was going through all my pictures on my computer the other day and it got me to thinking about each of my children as they were born and have grown up. I look at sarah now and think, she looks a lot like Ann Marie did when she was born, but I get a lot of people tell me she looks like Emma. So I thought I would post a few pictures and let you all decide. Oh and I've made a little game to play, guess the baby. Answers at the bottom, don't cheat!

Baby #1

Baby #2

Baby #3

Answers: 1-Ann Marie, 2-Sarah, 3-Emma

Sarah, 4 months

2009-05-05T12:59:00.001-07:00

I just realized that I have not posted very many pictures of Sarah on my blog. I blame my sister as she refuses to send me the pictures she took of Sarah at 1 month. So here are a few pictures that I have take recently.

When I Get Creative

2009-05-05T12:50:00.000-07:00

It is a lot easier to do things when Emma is at preschool. So today I decided to be creative and use some of my Stampin Up products that I have recently purchased.

Here are my end results

Roy's 30th Birthday

2009-05-05T09:42:00.000-07:00

Since Roy is finally an old man I had to plan something extra special for his birthday. I tried to go for a theme of Kids type games, but with an Adult twist.

Rule #1: Take the Birthday boy and give him a good beating.

Rule #2: Make sure and enjoy yourself while your're doing it

Rule #3: Have a little good, messy fun

Rule #4: LAUGH!

Rule #5: Wonder who your real friends are when they give you wierd, and extremely oversized gifts.

And last but not least

Rule #6: Make sure to take embarassing pictures and videos of your friends that they are sure to regret later

Top Blue Eagle

2009-03-17T12:02:00.000-07:00

Over this past weekend Roy and I had a very special opportunity to go to Washington DC. It was amazing, we stayed in the Grand Hyatt on H and 11th street, only a few blocks from the National Mall. We were able to walk from the Capital Building all the way to the Lincoln Memorial in less than 4 hours. We got to see the WWII memorial, Washington Monument, Veitnam Wall and the Smithsonian. Although the trip was only a few days it was a wonderful adventure.

Why were we so blessed to go? Roy, being the hard worker he is, was given the Commisioners Award for Top Blue Eagle in 2008. He was given this award for his pest inspections and research on the Capra Beattle (not sure if I spelled it right), a very nasty storage pest.

Even more amazing...we got to leave the two older girls home with Roy's aunt and uncle in Mckinney. Thank you very much Tracey and Glenda.

This is a picture of Sarah at the Award Ceremony. She was so cute with her guest pass badge on, we each had to have one to attend.

I forgot my camera at home so I will have to post more pictures later.

Too Smart!

2009-02-05T12:15:00.000-08:00

Emma is too smart for a 4 year old and I think this story may show you a little of our parenting style, that she obviously learned from.

I had just put the girls down for naps and I went down stairs to fold clothes. I looked up and saw Emma standing there with something in her hand. she said "Ill give you a treat if you let me stay up." "what kind of treat?" I asked, and she help up a quarter. It was so cute that I couldn't resist, and I let her have quiet time instead of nap time.

Lately she has been trying that trick a lot, she likes to try giving us stipulations. I guess maybe we bribe our kids too much.

Home Made

2008-12-30T15:09:00.000-08:00

The best presents we are told are the ones that are home made and come from the heart. The girls are very excited this year about their biggest and best Christmas present, which might just turn out to be a New Years, and maybe even Valentines present as well.

1 Week

2008-12-30T14:41:00.000-08:00

Sarah Elizabeth Hamblin 1 week old.

We decided to try a photo shoot and this was the only photo that I liked. I guess we will have to try again another time. I guess I am not as skilled as my sister. Grandma Hamblin also made the girls dresses for Christmas so we had to take a picture of them all together, also not a good pic.

3 happy sisters

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Moment You've All Waited For!!!

2008-12-15T18:00:00.000-08:00

She's here! Finally! I must say this was the easiest of all my labors, probably because of the Epidural. Yes, I know, after 1 attempted and 1 successful natural labor, that is with no pain killers, I finally decided to have a nice comfortable labor. It was very nice to be able to relax through most of the process and be able to take the final stages slowly and not tear, not feel like I want to rip the doctors head off when hes not ready to catch my baby. Well enough about what I went through cause I know most of you are not going to read this and just skip to the pictures so I will post a few.

Sarah Elizabeth Hamblin was born on December 11th, 2008 at 2:16 pm

Family and Friends were present

She weighed 8lb 7oz and was 19 3/4" long

Her Daddy and her Mommy are both very happy to have their newest little angel join their family

She is the perfect addition to the Hamblin home

Oh, and she loves her pacifier...

And the blanket her daddy made her

Sarah has been in our home for a few days now and has already blessed our lives. She brings so much joy to her sisters, they can't wait to see her in the morning and give her kisses, sometimes even to the point of waking her up. We have had our trials over the past few days but have overcome them and now she is a happy baby that loves to eat, sleep and poop. I can't wait to see her grow up and become a beautiful little girl just like her sisters.

Pregnancy #3

2008-12-08T06:42:00.000-08:00

A number of you have been asking to see pictures of me pregnant. Since I had not taken any till recently, due to my huge amount of weight gain, I had not posted. Well Paul was kind enough to comment on my large size and wanted to take some pictures so here they are.

From a Front angle view I look like any pregnant woman, cute, a little round, just sticking out a little bit. but...

From the side I jut out like I have a watermelon hiding under there. I still look at myself as I pass by a mirror and wonder what, or how many, I have growing in there.

As of December 1st I weighed 172lbs. That is a 47lb weight gain. I don't want to compare myself to when I had Emma because the weight was much more obvious then, but I have almost gained the same amount. Well hopefully its all me and I'm not going to be delivering a 25lb baby. Wish me luck.

ICE!!!

2008-12-08T06:26:00.000-08:00

Two of my brothers, Eric and Paul, decided to come visit Dallas at the same time. We were so lucky to get to see both of them. Of course my brother Eric, an ER doctor, stayed at the Gaylord Texan so we had to go take a tour and see the ICE Exhibit. Here are a few of our pictures.

They didn't want you to touch any of the ice sculptures in the exhibit so they offered a wall that you could get it out of your system before you went in. Eric did!

The Ice Slide (had contractions for about 3 hours after going down this, I'd pay $20 to do that again)

It was very cool to see all of the things they could do with ice, although 20$ a ticket for adults was pretty pricey for a 30 minute experience, it was worth it. Thank you Eric

Preparing for Baby

2008-11-22T15:44:00.000-08:00

I know some of you have been waiting for some pictures so here they are.

Baby/Toy Room

New Car Seat Cover

(http://www.babycoverz.com/)

New Diaper Bag

I do have the most amazing friends. Home made car seat cover and diaper bag, and they even helped me paint the babies room. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you everyone

Texas weather

2008-10-20T07:53:00.000-07:00

One evening the girls and I were sick of being stuck in the house, so we went on a walk outside. It was a nice evening, it had been raining and was starting to slow so we decided to go around the block. I put raincoats on the girls just in case, it was still sprinkling, and I just wore a sweatshirt. Well by the time we got about half way around the block it started to rain harder, and harder, and harder till it was finally pouring. It was too late to turn back so we just kept walking. It was actually quite refreshing. By the time we got home the puddles extended into the road atleast 2ft. The girls had a blast splashing and riding their bikes around in it.

Mud Bath

2008-10-20T07:42:00.000-07:00

The girls had a friend over the other day and they were playing out side while us moms made cinnamon rolls. We check on them every once in a while and one time when we looked out the window Ann Marie looked like this...

Little did we know that she had been doing this...

That bucket was filled with the most filthy water i had ever seen. It had rain water, rocks, mud and grass/leaves in it. I think the girls were making some kind of stew. Well none the less they all took baths afterwards.

Impending Doom!

2008-10-09T16:45:00.000-07:00

Roy mowed the lawn the other day and little did I know the drama it would bring to our children. Our back lawn has recently developed an overgrowth of small purple wildflowers, and I guess Emma grew quite attached to them because as Daddy started up the mower she immediately burst out in tears. She grabbed a bowl and sat down in the grass and began picking all the flowers she could to "save" them. I couldn't help but wonder of what her frantic little mind was thinking as the mower got closer and closer and finally destroyed all the beautiful flowers.

Exhausted

2008-08-16T18:17:00.000-07:00

Ever feel like you are so tired you could fall asleep right where you are sitting? I think Emma did.

Ready for a New Baby

2008-08-11T19:04:00.000-07:00

We broke out this toy for a friend of ours who visited us the other night and the girls seem to be enjoying it more than any infant. I think they are ready for the new baby to come so we can get out all the baby toys.

Vinyl Creations

2008-08-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

I have a posting on Craigslist and a Blog. If you have anyone that you know that might me interested in a vinyl sign or lettering in their home please head them my way. my blog is http://www.monasvinylcreations.blogspot.com/.

Just Plain Fun!

2008-07-25T10:51:00.000-07:00

Daddy went swimming with the girls in out little back yard pool and I just couldn't help but take pictures the whole time. It looked like so much fun.

There's Nothing There!

2008-07-17T13:28:00.000-07:00

Well what else can I say. The Ultrasound Tech boldly declared "there is nothing there" and that my third child would be a girl. Not to say that I am angry but visions of a boy did dance in my head for 18 weeks. So much for IntelliGender.

Has Anyone Seen My Little Girl?

2008-07-15T17:17:00.000-07:00

I guess it doesn't take more than a few minutes for a 4 year old to be a little creative, or a lot creative. I was making dinner downstairs and talking to my sister on the phone when this strange child came down the stairs. At first I didn't recognize her then I realized it was my little girl. Of course I screamed and laughed at the same time, I couldn't help it she looked horrible and yet sort of cute at the same time. She was obviously afraid of my reaction cause she immediately went running. After Daddy came home and showed his dismay with his daughter's new style we trimmed it up best we could, and here she is today the cutest little short haired girl I have ever seen.

Too Much Info for One Title

2008-06-12T16:08:00.000-07:00

It has been a long couple of days, which leaves me to want to write and tell everyone what has been going on.

First of all I am of course pregnant and I want to know the sex of the baby so I ventured out and took this new age "gender predictor" test called Intelligender. It is a urine test that can test for the sex of your baby as early as 10 weeks into your pregnancy. So I did it on Monday morning and the results came out green, super green, so green that there was no denying that it is a BOY!!! So I still have to be scepticle until I have an ultrasound but I am still excited and have already purchased a few boy clothes.

My next article of business is my past 2, thats right TWO, days of traveling home. I am pretty distraught as the way things have panned out and I have to vent. I left yesterday afternoon to drive to Sacramento to make my 4:59pm flight to Denver and then on to Dallas from there, successfully done this would have landed me home a around midnight Texas time. Well the flight comming in to Sacramento was late and so our flight leaving was of course delayed. Knowing this I asked the lady at the counter if 30 minutes was going to be enough to catch my connecting flight, initially I was going to have an hour. She assured me that everything was going to be fine, there were 10 people on this flight that also had to catch the Dallas flight and that they would not leave without us knowing that we were on the delayed flight. I sat down a little scepticle yet also knowing there was nothing I could do about it. As predetermined our plane touched down in Denver at around 8:30pm giving me approximately 30 to taxi, deplane and RUN to my next gate. as the plane was Taxiing they gave me no news of what gate we were arriving at or what gates any of our connecting flights were at so of course I get off in Denver and have no idea where to go and have to ask for directions, this takes an extra few minutes and am told if I run I can still make it. Did i mention that all this is done with a 3 year old and a 2 year old being dragged at my side!!! So i take off down the terminal in hopes that i can run 20 gates in a matter of minutes, stopping occasionally to pick up Ann Marie, my 2 year old, because she is tired, I then drag my Emma, my 3 year old, on. Asking only once for help from one of those shuttle drivers who gave me the "one second" finger which I obviously didn't have judging by the fast pace I was already carrying, I continued on with no assistance. We made it to the gate 10 minutes before departure to find that there was not a single soul in sight, and just in time to see our plane pulling away from the gate and eventually taking off from the ground 4 MINUTES EARLY!!! So now I am a frantic, balling pregnant woman with 2 young children exhausted from running and completely amazed that United Airlines would, knowing that there were more passengers coming, take off EARLY from the gate as we sat there and watched. 2 other gentlemen were there at the gate hoping to get on the flight and missed it.

So I walked, crying, back another 10 gates to find the United Airlines Customer Service Counter. not wanting to stand in a line 50 yards long but not knowing another way I was going to get home I sat my bags down and cried. A kind lady stopped and offered her assistance, and shortly after and young man who worked for United stopped and directed me to a flight counter and began to help me. He found me a flight leaving out of Denver at 8:30am the following morning, and offered me free hotel stay. I didnt really anticipate staying in a hotel with no baggage, except my carry-ons, so I called my brother who lives in the area and he picked me up and gave me a comfortable place to sleep and a ride to the airport the next morning.

As we drove to the airport the next morning I called my husband to inform him that we were on our way, he mentioned to me that for some reason he had recieved an automated call stating that I had been given a flight that left at 1:30pm. I brushed it off as a mistake and told him that I was flying out at 8:30am and would be home soon. He called back monents later and said that he had found out that my 8:30am flight had been cancelled and that I had indeed been put on a 1:30pm flight out of Denver. Being minutes from the airport and not wanting to sit for 6 hours to wait for my flight I resigned myself to talk to more United Employees and get this matter resolved ASAP. Seeing the lines in the Baggage check area I decided I was going to find a shorter line and found one labeled Re-Issues, Refunds and something else, I stood here being only second in line. Meeting a nice enough lady who found me a flight on American Airlines leaving at 9:30am and 3 meal vouchers for breakfast I then continued on my way. I wont bore you with the extensive lines to get through security and the pat down I had to go through, I mean pregnant women with children are so dangerous. I got on my flight and finally made it home to Dallas and was never more happy to be home.

My bags, surprisingly, made it on the flight to Dallas the previous night and were sitting very nicely waiting for me at the lost luggage counter. The world amazes me sometimes. Needless to say the people on American Airlines were far more accomidating than most of those I encountered with United Airlines and I will be doing my best to NEVER fly United again.

Coming this Winter...

2008-05-23T11:33:00.000-07:00

I have to post something new? What do you think I am...my sister?
Ok well the only thing I have new to post is that I am also pregnant. As of May 24th I will be 11 weeks, which puts my due date at December 13th, 2008. I dont know what I am having yet but I was thinking about doing that Urine test, you can test for the sex of the baby as early as 10 weeks into your pregnancy, thought that was cool. I've been feeling sick but the girls help me out tons, and my husband has turned into a wonderful house wife. Well maybe I will post a picture when I feel cute enough to take one.

Happy Birthday to WHO?

2008-02-26T09:53:00.000-08:00

I know its hard as a sibling of a birthday girl, no one gives you any attention. Well there are ways of getting in there, like blowing out the candle before you sister can. Well this is Ann Marie's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.

Just Like Mommy

I remember a day way back when, when my mother would find me curled up in a box or on the front porch asleep. I never imagined I would have a child just as interested in finding the strangest spots to climb into. She was asleep before we took this picture.

Ann Marie is a very independant little girl. Today she was so set on dressing herself that she would not even let me near her. I knew I had to take a picture of her when she came up to me looking like this.

Hello all,
This is Anna, yes-monas big sister is creating her blog for her. I made her create a myspace account so we could keep in contact better, so she is mad at me for now making her create a blog since that is the wave of the future !!! I think she will be getting on here soon to add her own two cents but until then you just get to hear from me.
