Crazy times....

It has been rather crazy around here as of late.

My FIL, Pat had a double bypass just over a month ago...it was very touch-and-go for a while, but he is doing great now. He has been home for just over a week.

Cassi and Chris have gotten back together :) I am so happy for them! They are so perfect for each other. I hope that the two of them realize what they have and truly make a go of it.

High school football season is over now. I can finally have my Friday nights back! I love to go watch Chris play, but it sometimes, it's hard to plan around his games.

School is in full swing for all of us girls. I am up to my eyeballs in class work, but I don't want anyone to know how far behind I have gotten. I spent way too many days at the hospital instead of in class, then I got pretty sick. I am getting caught up, but it's taking forever.

The teens took the Littles out Trick-or-Treating this year. They got tons of candy and all had a great time.

We just had another photo shoot with MB....the pictures are beyond fabulous! I am buying the CD because I couldn't make up my mind on what pix to order! There were just too many great shots.

Christmas is right around the corner again; but this time, we are ready for it. We have almost everything taken care of. We have a few things yet to get for Christopher and one big gift for Cassi, but other than that- we are done!

I guess that's about all of my news for now.

Me and my mom

It has taken me a few days to be able to finish this post. My mom's cancer is back...and now it's in her right lung. She has already lost half of her left lung and this tumor is at least twice the size of the one that was already removed. That's all I know at this point. I will update as I can.

It's Back-To-School time again!

We hit the stores hard on Saturday; Old Navy, Kohl's, Penny's and Journeyz.... Gabbi and Maddi finished their shopping in one day....Cassi, however, wanted to hit up Wal-Mart on Sunday. Needless to say, after 7 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday, I don't care to see the inside of ANY store for a long time! I'm so glad that part is over now. All 3 girls have all of their clothing, shoes, and supplies for the start of the school year. All that's left is registration, which we are doing at 1 p.m. today.

Here are some of the outfits they got:
