There are times I forget I have it and other times I wonder why even bother because nobody looks at it. But then I have to remember nobody likes to look at the same thing for months on end. So it is about time that I get my act together and start posting more...got to keep it interesting right?!!<br /><br />So we have been in LA for about 6 weeks now and really trying to get settled. We bought a new home and trying to organize it has taken up most of my time. (well that and swimming at the neighbors! thanks to the Coopers.) I can't wait til it cools down and I can start doing some landscaping to this barren yard. Greg was here for 2 weeks then he left for San Antonio for military Training. He said to me that he thought it was crazy that for 9 years he's prepared to become a surgeon and the first few weeks of training is learning how to shoot an M16. Hopefully when deployed this will keep him safe. But he has been gone for 5 weeks now and 3 more to go :)<br /><br />The girls started school here Aug. 11. Kind of early to me, but it was good that they could start so they could meet some friends. (Now only if I could figure out how to get pictures off my iphone so i could post some of their first day would be great!) They have to wear uniforms down here...Khaki bottoms and white, black or purple polo shirts. At first, not really liking the idea, but after school shopping I'm a big fan. However, the girls aren't really set on it yet. But it sure eliminates the fights I'd have with Brooklyn in the morning as to what to wear. <br /><br />We have met some wonderful people here and are looking forward to what lies ahead. We think about our friends we have made each time we have made a move, and we have made lifelong friends everywhere. So we are hoping to do so here!! <br /><br />I will post pics soon!! More to come.

In March he had been diagnosed with diabetes and I had been giving him insulin shots twice a day for a month. He wasn't getting any better and was losing weight. He became weaker and wasn't able to get up on his own. I felt so bad for him. He would bark at me in the middle of the night just so I would come move him a little so he was more comfortable or so he could go outside. I was not ready to let him go. But I really think he knew with all the changes happening he didn't want to do it anymore.<br />We got the kids and took them to the vet so we could all say goodbye. That was really tough for me. Even now 2 months later I choke up and miss him terribly. He was a very good dog and loved by many. I will get a picture up as soon as I can.Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-13078799536030828492010-03-08T06:10:00.000-08:002010-03-08T07:41:47.097-08:00Too much to catch up onAs you can see I am way too far behind. With Facebook, it seems that I forget to get on here anymore. I post things there and not here. I will try and catch up soon. But our latest and greatest, or not so greatest news is that we found out we will be going to <span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>Fort Polk, Louisiana</strong>.</span> Initial reaction...not so good. But we have known for 6 days, and for the past 5, I have been searching the internet about this place. I am definitely warming up to the idea. Small towns are nothing new to me. Been there done that a few times. Humidity, tornados, & bugs, done that too. <span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">BEACH</span> </strong></span>near by haven't done and really looking forward to it. <strong><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;">Mardi Gras</span></strong> is one thing I haven't done nor do I care to either. Exploring a new part of the country will be fun.<br />I have been in touch with a few people who are stationed there and seem to be mixed feelings. But I realize that I have never went off what other people tell me, so why start now. I need to go down there and see for myself. It will be fine and we will be happy wherever we go. We know that the <strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Lord has a purpose</span></strong> for us...might be to drastically reduce the mosquito population or some other grand purpose, but we will go find out. We will definitely<strong><span style="font-size:180%;"> miss OH </span></strong>and all of the wonderful people we have became friends with. It will be a hard move. I am counting on lots of visitors...even if they want to meet us at the beach :)Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-78475983318649057392010-01-15T08:33:00.000-08:002010-01-15T08:34:13.354-08:00Too far behindSeriously- I am this far behind.

This year however, I am determined to keep it simple and focused on the Savior. I love this video.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXXwtFWpAI8&feature=player_embedded#">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXXwtFWpAI8&feature=player_embedded#</a><br />We can learn so much from our children. I hope we use this season to teach others about the gift we all received from the Lord. May we look to serve others and feel the true spirit of Christmas.<br /><br />If any of you are wanting a FREE Christmas DVD about the birth of Jesus, click on the link and fill out the information.

She also loved the wave pool.<br /><br /><div><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxb5KsAibu3XsuZrOWatPS6Ae_rAadfn06BV1qVoWvI4YPxCej9VCtGwy7bWI6Ej8V8ZtxVBdMWMljBvkweAQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405205697461911282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOytY6IdOPg6iyTfz91811eKBrhOoRZk7HlyMg2TA0-sYvrlLsk62_bz9XcViPwDUxXrY0yPcL6lOIbIqGBNM1eH9SYGarB6LbT5ND9ggiC1mG438WBngCkZEO5q2kaHBLkbk0BY6RRbPX/s400/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+061.JPG" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTe8etkLm5Nx6r4BGWRg7D6reR7n1b2h3F1PF6crYa2xQ5vB9noagj5Rm1XcISZ_hbv0WSc75FVmJJQDsiJKOVzebSUunRziQtslqPwgiTQSrL-bZzHjkLSHmiH5_4npYZ-YZX-sOnuKET/s1600/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+063.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405204663326397874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTe8etkLm5Nx6r4BGWRg7D6reR7n1b2h3F1PF6crYa2xQ5vB9noagj5Rm1XcISZ_hbv0WSc75FVmJJQDsiJKOVzebSUunRziQtslqPwgiTQSrL-bZzHjkLSHmiH5_4npYZ-YZX-sOnuKET/s400/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+063.JPG" /></a>London in the giant play area!

We got "bumped up" to a suite which was perfect. Greg and I had a king size bed in one room, the girls slept in the living room in a pull out, we had a full kitchen and dining area and a patio. We got breakfast both mornings we were there, dinner the first night, lunch, passes for the waterpark, free mini golf passes, free zoo passes(had a small area with some zebras, an ostrich, a bunch of goats, camels, horses, kangaroos and other weird birds), and an in room movie.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPdIFCUwGSQZznjzW5ykSTjkCONJs_LkHFUS5Wkl6W1mY5kNKyYHQdubfhH0b-ofAPyURauvjVtEW2iyxEkJm-Uf3id57g0FwLufWuwhD4vUo5JflmSTAdGarEEPyO-M9IHSGEa7mPCt-a/s1600/kahlahari,+10-18-2009+006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405204649697951346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPdIFCUwGSQZznjzW5ykSTjkCONJs_LkHFUS5Wkl6W1mY5kNKyYHQdubfhH0b-ofAPyURauvjVtEW2iyxEkJm-Uf3id57g0FwLufWuwhD4vUo5JflmSTAdGarEEPyO-M9IHSGEa7mPCt-a/s400/kahlahari,+10-18-2009+006.JPG" /></a><br />This is where Sydney learned to slide (see video).

We had get rid of Greg's Grand Prix, afraid the transmission was on the fritz. Our good friends and neighbors helped us get this awesome car. Greg loves it and has already tinted the windows, got the Nike sticker for the back window...or as Brooklyn says the check mark which is how she can tell it is our car, and ordered some winter mats for it. There wasn't a whole lot to do to this car. It is a brand new Altima with all the works. I told him it was a pretty car but I don't think he wants to be driving a "pretty" car, so our friends rephrased calling it a "sharp" car. We were really hoping to avoid doing this til we had to move, but glad we have a reliable car.<br /> <div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405203018260216674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG-zvTUTCPEm2cCmAGn05hyphenhyphenUWMLhYtAjsIW0Dt7O2Jrhglr3ofKLooolJ8Gjy3BScaBs0VrQphtZqny07oFDQitZRodpUAg3hPpjqutTANu-AmkuZJEb0VaTMJKqsPwAZx91YTWHh9KIH3/s400/kahlahari,+10-18-2009+014.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405203008053111202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXL6Bm2IdJ2IUtzzPT0CuPfCsY31KiVfG_9w0ln8ptjs9o0zR2xfrdPp38zQlkRKRWGsJO_hyphenhyphenndzCmNI1WYVyho7jcjxoCNVJAcuV8VzwThDVPliZajAceAprYCvt-TKKYxC8NrhrTS0D/s400/kahlahari,+10-18-2009+013.JPG" /></div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405203003816964850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGUQgsD_JRprGkJX4r5-_gZiiSSYWF8XMJPhcUNQKvo8b4JZgWTg1RGZ7CtIi7d2Vc27MttF81vZnlXh282RglHK0_acX-O3GLz2s8HYBvRtI2bsBMni2RZPm0gsTT4hPMq2yIa-83ORlq/s400/kahlahari,+10-18-2009+012.JPG" /></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-45908297672416495272009-10-20T16:44:00.000-07:002009-10-27T14:05:43.696-07:00First Day of School<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigv3PfZ5RpUkzUjAx2F3OW2DMN7UUG6FWusOSwqAZsdDizDRGMCRF2HwNFkBJY23D-IiTZRUgS3ke77y8cZb0jo0iyyUQzpx_xuie4XrqmhkEuCrzymKu1Q3e9YWZi8Z8RCCozciujaFE/s1600-h/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394841248700459010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigv3PfZ5RpUkzUjAx2F3OW2DMN7UUG6FWusOSwqAZsdDizDRGMCRF2HwNFkBJY23D-IiTZRUgS3ke77y8cZb0jo0iyyUQzpx_xuie4XrqmhkEuCrzymKu1Q3e9YWZi8Z8RCCozciujaFE/s400/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+021.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394841241880294082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqnUBJtyqNKM_loz5LSBpEY8yL2kA64eqXzBmtqlG_3x3UrQGGjxcHtrnSP1zPJem8jbbnnRCBLSQH6a1LulC2dLG-myISZG3Jncveh_Q3Cj4s-K36nKScvwyJDAlpaE69ggYRbS4Ix0w_/s400/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+020.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394841232633056162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M5fxXchbZC0Gcz5OTh6Qh2DXhYeeMDLI3Ebl8SoBQH4Z_dISBKWfed8078CcW_RmlxIdrJTlMS5OJv6NUkjaDfnDacDPgC3911x6mBTLWlh4M6o9t2bW2wt1TEiM3PBsMQzTMUCIxBIX/s400/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+019.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394841223622463042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhac34an20dNmCGcItbAmVZnxUmGcXll3sIT3bmS8PivwrWxXkAhl_iXm7EMxnpZ9s1J8aTPYQP0Qn8T0MF0vNiFBdAhyXcP1XlszZHv5KG1l0R5ejP-bI9UYSqpNrcraV5hekVSciNGMai/s400/school+pics+and+kahlahri+1+10-17-2009+015.JPG" /><br /><br /><div>We started our way back to Ohio by leaving the cabin and heading to Twin for Jessica's wedding. Then Sunday we were going to go to Boise since our flight left on Monday. However, plans don't always work out. Brooklyn got sick and was throwing up all day Sunday so we stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Starley's. Monday morning she felt better thank goodness. Could you imagine having to deal with throw up on the airplane? Guess our prayers were answered for that one. We got back from Idaho late Monday night at 1:30am and poor Greg had to wake up early and be at the hospital by 6am so he could head to Columbus for RPAC (Resident education lectures of some sort). By noon he was texting me telling me he didn't feel good. Neither did I . He came home early and we spent the rest of the day and the following day in bed or near the toilet. We weren't as lucky as Brooklyn. Ours lasted a few days. But we didn't have a few days to spare. School was starting on Thursday for London and Friday for Brooklyn and we hadn't even gone shopping for anything. Resourceful me made up a scavenger hunt for their school supplies and told them to go for it. They found everything they needed except for some glue and a set of markers. Yes we had plenty of black markers or markers with their lids off but not a whole set. So instead of making a Walmart/Target run we did a grocery store run mainly because we needed milk but I also grabbed the markers paid grocery store prices...yes my sister would be disappointed. But I wasn't going to go all around town just to say a dollar or two. Not worth my time and wasn't sure I could even function long enough to go anywhere else. I felt kind of bad for the girls because it was Brooklyn's first day of Kindergarten and there wasnt' a whole lot of pomp and circumstance. I did manage to get a few pics. However, London got sick Thursday night and had to miss her second day and wasn't able to be with Brooklyn on her first day of riding the bus.

We will see what happens. Back in June, Sydney had her 1st Bday. Can hardly believe my baby is one...well now 14 months. She is still a very happy baby and smiles and laughs a lot. She rarely cries. She cut her 2 bottom teeth the first week of July. She has yet to start walking however, she is content on the way she gets around. I will try and post a video later so ya'll can see it. She scoots around on her back moving backwards. She can go anywhere she wants. Her hair constantly smells like burnt carpet and it is so course and twisted. It sometimes looks like she has dread locks...well with what little hair she has left back there. She hasn't completely rubbed it bald, but there aren't any luscious long locks either.</div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-33073602786370356012009-07-06T13:44:00.001-07:002009-07-06T16:11:39.133-07:00Florida TripMan did June just fly by.

We headed to St.Pete Beach on the 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span>. It was fantastic. We rented a house with my siblings that was across the street from Sunset Beach. My mom had a hotel down the road on St. Pete beach. We hung out there quite a bit too because it had a pool. Everyday we would get up put our swimsuits on and go to the beach. We would come in grab some snacks or lunch and be back out to the pool or beach soon after. This was a beautiful place. The beaches are clean and white and the water was like taking a bath.

I can't believe I have an 8 yr. old. I guess that means I am getting older too :( It was a great weekend. We had Grandpa and Grandma <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Starley</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Bugga</span>, Grandpa Cheney and Grandma Pat come out to Ohio to be with London. She was very excited that her grandparents could be there. We are really proud of her. She has always been such a great kid and a good example to others. We feel very blessed to have her in our family. She is such a beautiful little <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">girly</span> girl. She had fun trying on dresses and picking out shoes. Thanks to all the little Catholic girls who had their first communion about a month ago...all the dresses were on sale and it worked out perfect for us. You can't beat $19.99 for her gorgeous dress at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">JC</span> Penny. Her shoes were almost that much and it will cost about that to get the thing dry cleaned. But who cares, you only get baptized once right?<br /><div><div><div><div><div align="center"><div><div><div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341429248352518034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;

We spent our time hanging at the beach watching for dolphins, hunting for seashells, swimming, or playing some sort of golf. We really enjoyed ourselves and were bummed that we had to come home to snow. Brooklyn did not want to put away her spring clothes. She insisted that it was spring because we had spring break and that means warm weather and shorts and tank tops. Now we play the waiting game here in Ohio for Spring. It better come fast or else I will have to take another vacation.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuz5kERFtf7H_Jnv051Lod_aauCMzFU6sF5RzOGo_miVz6vwa7UOsg-6bG94J4ybKQm3EDFgv6Kk4gBUllSsVwsvMut7-JzGypuG3SmlW9WEevkkvfXDWlEmpP_-RF-LRTyX5cIRfpOUpx/s1600-h/DSCN3535.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323947572883550002" style="DISPLAY: block;

We saw dolphins in the Harbor. Then when we went in we saw a giant sea turtle, sharks, jellyfish, and all sorts of ocean life. It was fun but too expensive for my taste. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-84416840748211507082009-04-07T06:18:00.000-07:002009-04-07T08:12:14.573-07:00Spring Break In South Carolina!!We had such a great time and got to do many things so I am going to post in smaller sections.<br /><br /><div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">North Carolina</span></strong><br /></div><div align="center">We headed out on Friday March 20 and made it to Princeton, WV. We stayed the night, thanks to Grandpa Steve, at the Hampton. The girls and Greg got up the next morning and swam while I tried to sleep a little bit more. Sydney had this awful cough and her bum was so sore that it even started bleeding. Every time she coughed she would poop a little and then she would start crying. It was not a good night's rest for any of us except Brooklyn, who snored through the whole thing. But at least they got to swim before they left! Instead of going through Charlotte, we took a detour to Asheville, NC to see Grandpa Lou and Grandma Carol. We had a great visit. Tracy and Les brought the girls over to play with London and Brooklyn.<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321948850259549218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinT8W6oR5CrzA4P17ZFEDKGeO-5isEe0jUXcVtw1NcQGAn2n8I5ZABTnxYxIkE-6jll5C3WL0iuv4h3JA7vqw8Re_eZCXkxgt7Cm2sixATAR6x3dvmnMvcroJ2qX53BW2rDtHFX0jYJBCT/s320/DSCN3402.JPG" border="0" /> <p>Jean watched the all the girls for a bit while we went and looked at grandpa's new house (Sydney got to screaming and poor Jean was probably beside herself-good thing we were minutes away). Carol fixed us a wonderful meal and we stayed up and visited.

We rented this condo which was perfect for our family and Bugga. It was on a resort so we were able to use all the resort's activity centers like the pools, miniature golfing, playground, movies, games, and whatever else they offered. When we got there we went to the Piggly Wiggly for groceries and then went to Bugga's good friend's house who fixed us a yummy dinner and we got to enjoy their beautiful home and scenery on the Marsh Lands.<br /><br /><p align="center">Thanks to George<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321953029233055362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSJja5z0HfObeP1Y7U_KW5Ml-cJ_asf3oWH90lEiQzeRBRF-VFksb8R4aL44xLToVXe2BLKmL0lolOFPiEGtg3v79Nw8D_cuhcW3VTG0TR4qNVB5Cx3yKn_JlQqE1O8zHN0lwt4F4x2DtS/s320/DSCN3422.JPG" border="0" /> and Gailya for a great evening.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321953036629130610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXIWjXAWF9Lqjn86XCcPNT20IVQUKDzYEmb94rMmGaUO8G6dT935ZI5jwHjgNmjMPnhlw4DJzcpkBSpYrcsQatQCbcYITr8ZfQSXhYku5N44SGRFqFvmunvtJfbozxVwBRwkozZYTzVar7/s320/DSCN3423.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321953042332792274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhImgb7xmi1ZYT8YtPlFnHTEEdkKeaRn14S46FvoHpsCjeVeL1oXvu1N0h9VL93O5uN5nNaowJ8Gti-4FOFUZpyq8RW5GLL2iPUyYbXNnHj6s5caw_VHwpzVaYBAIkSaMpxNfvLVUbD3NZ3/s320/DSCN3411.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321953044509435618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjesDaghA7hDS6EUZPnnlCpyuUvD4yN54E1_aVFp4Q0PskCZjqWkEUgf3JTHnXPVbpxrqJNXacZYPBGuUo2xBH9l4YbYEgiSjgaq1K0B0sWG3rhI8yxW__9qzKGywj1XgGOimA20RoJNrq/s320/DSCN3421.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321953046227491746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZozfiFRDRCFyJ2Hy7_V93is_f17NAix9z1GfXBMhCseqHd-Q-35ZFu6_3aQquYkOypmxwV1ERX9NI3ZAwXSeDuJe9wzLt1KsLPmylGnJP5gjK7-DWKrRZnBcrRPPUPWJ8bVvBvu5tCszb/s320/DSCN3416.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321961606875537458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4_a6ej81090dMfSaoHdtZo8_J7eajuwBgHFyZItl_t3DdL5n1SyzcVriCrhcOK-kCzE64wSyJZ4hbyl-9cwiFW06eIKU5ihd9ADc6EnZxvjYyCVx-wqAIkyXgmTFjyZFx-vbKfXq3x2M/s320/DSCN3420.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321961601356268514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik05r0hb9bEPBbg9haCBIbXqMcwUhULJv6f-UXU4hIOEs8vF7W33E8yRz8AU_7Bwjpd9fiIVTvo1wIS3WyVhbPHZqO9s3Ta2XSLmHc0cnf1VLEz_JJ_9SL7Oc_6OrhVu94NCOqfLfXJPId/s320/DSCN3414.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321962423370499762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRMAz1nWbwOoppbUZXbJitm5RyRCkszkdZ4p7WY6CuAnR8wM8d5T0PkEnekk235_EjRoyIhAupJB0qpHDYvqvurUI9L6df91Qzy3F6i2_ri8Q_sDfqUVvmYUTxGVfe8F3E2foEhWXMI0XP/s320/DSCN3412.JPG" border="0" />George and Gailya's hospitality didn't end there. Then next afternoon we met them back out at their house so they could take us on a boat ride to see the marsh and the dolphins in the bay. Bugga stayed at the condo with Sydney so we could go. Thanks mom. It was sunny but windy so as we were just about to approach the bay, the waves were getting too big and we were getting all wet so we turned around. We didn't see dolphins, but we saw some really beautiful scenery. Thanks again for a great afternoon. <div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321963983050936786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUFa1smX4zst3-fwGguaXGkNBaO0MJhpbWM6zMwhpGLBP8Qrn-pUMkhD_-mVQhsRPfvCYlKMRSSqkjMb8qUQ8jN8-QCV5UZf7A92I2B-XgHAEAagsV8_6HXTSflWVoEewYDz6-wIrtt-_d/s320/DSCN3448.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321963976542879218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgde_laFeGkEn_DhRqdTLTFbIXwaRI8EIcwSaL45O9y_1VacFEo6lqxVq9_8LQ4njwWoh82-28hVobDgReLaH86KgaDQE1NmFPjEe68wxS6keog4S5s5eFqI3_Ug7Ws6u9XnWbFg1zgq6g5/s320/DSCN3449.JPG" border="0" />Greg and I got some golfing, if that is what you call chasing, hunting and losing golf balls, in that morning. It was awful. I haven't played for at least 18 months and boy did it show. My putting game was better than I thought but I couldn't hit worth crap. Greg was doing alright but there were holes that we were even on. That doesn't happen very often. At least we got some sun while we were out.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321965674957983618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Wi-5nxnOPSJUkfdUG1uNEZHqLVJLMGiLheD4pEjIGYrZue2k8ta9cTJ0c5HHEqjLbOIU2dAVKFb_RTc_tJpFRKdlZkELo-5xk2DubsYqjoX9jpbFO9Klzzlvx03QqdTO0vmNaIZKaNUn/s320/DSCN3431.JPG" border="0" />More to come on the rest of the week later.<br /><div align="center"></div></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-47079592831277264322009-03-14T09:22:00.000-07:002009-03-14T09:53:39.900-07:00NEW CAR!After 2 failed attempts of buying new vans, Greg bagged the Odyssey's and moved on to bigger and better things...SUBURBANS! He started looking at them on Auto Trader and called on a few. One that he called had already been sold by the dealer, but they said they were getting another one in the following week. When it came in they called Greg and we headed up to Cleveland to look at it knowing that we were 99% sure we were going to get it. As long as there wasn't major body damage and the car didn't smell like smoke. Luck was on our side this time. We already did the negotiation over the phone, Greg had a check printed out, so it didn't take hours upon hours like it normally does to buy a car. Greg drove the beast home with Brooklyn, and I drove the van with Sydney and London. Of course London was a little upset she had to come with me in the van, but I told her I would pick her up from school in the new car the next day and she wouldn't have to ride the bus home. That did the trick. She doesn't enjoy the bus so that was a good incentive to ride home with me.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>I asked Greg if he had buyer's remorse, but he said not at all. We are very happy with our purchase and I am sure even at the gas pump we will still be just fine.

As you can see, it is loaded. The must have feature for me is the DVD system. I was so sick of having the portable ones in the van and having the cords all over. Now this has the wireless headphones for each girl. Now only if Greg would share with me and let me drive it, I could tell you how well it drives :) I think this will suit our family great for years to come!!! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-69067222848588098662009-03-05T16:30:00.000-08:002009-03-05T16:57:07.978-08:00Sydney's Latest and GreatestAll my girls have been a little slow on the whole sitting, standing, crawling, walking, and teething things.

Mind you this isn't the first time she has had baby food. I give her at least a jar a day. Now all she wants to do is spit it. This makes for a messy dinner but lots of laughs. She refuses to eat rice cereal so I have been sneaking it in her bottles. I'm sure if she could talk she would say forget all the food and just give me a stinkin bottle.

She has definitely brought so much happiness to our home. It is hard to believe that she is already 8 months.

The girls love her and are constantly in her face and want to be holding her. London has gained a lot of confidence with picking her up and walking her around. It makes me nervous because I remember (mostly because my mother told me) carrying around my brothers and I actually dropped Cade on his head. (So that might explain it Cade). London is very careful, but it makes Brookyn think she can do it too, and that right there is just a big accident waiting to happen. But I guess too much love is better than none.</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309864801178552370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_5O-DcMeE7TYoypTvpCmFVp0rDPfNVz0ALLqy2VfQipEvxzrZN2KkB8nqsvl3j1lAyKywN_dtMme3tF4WAT4qgbhhkflLMphnPAIfatRHrwrZ-hi4a2_q9sLvRSh5MCqzYojgqt6oRCLz/s320/DSCN3348.JPG" border="0" /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309864806341247314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_H3gpER1XFSk89KF52ozn8r5o_ScIwHXWaQ-uv-4YiOlVE-qW0f_MW8T7QvoxoXsbd3wG8SOQCFJb1lnPktROrKplBuLR0sTZfXIC8oPeNK5KzuscQsAhgwqYrGfvBFJmpuuVV6EFtXsV/s320/DSCN3352.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-76139211913694307752009-02-20T12:29:00.000-08:002009-02-20T14:17:50.322-08:00Valentines FunWhere is the surgeon when we need him?

It was a little foam purse, but that got boring too fast so she resorted to decorating herself.</div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304995706739964402" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwYsJzyywH7Wo0no90HUkxiW9Jrs6HTTyPaHwYFXgwEqg_3VZcSvFd3WtioOjpEd7HhTdBUu7UCIYN0KFVPojIJvdcM7Ky1F2mD_Vc65iAgy7v2PPUrT0_pSpGWELnGT-loaE0YdSL-5n/s320/DSCN3315.JPG" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304995702206663074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQzO7iWMLRlewnYMfkyMapUEaxftueBu6fSKoa1gLflPXl9E5m1FUZO6URT91qBadIKzsejP3ZXo-Vwjo2XY-5HMPwErprG_czC5QGMyIddBoVieMT7X9xMMe2UfSRl5oKmjOWss4gUq0w/s320/DSCN3309.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304995701080628210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPptOBuOpWjg0BC5ZoGmsP7vBUCREtYdkViOLCgBQfMKm3_H3xZ9y_LBWMIu34NAHjZccQIeC6rcP0vwbes55RKDEOMN7ovykQVyMVgDxT7kHcnKNXyrgaMrsMge5936WsEhGRGVl_9vQP/s320/DSCN3312.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304995686677661282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJrK9B2RBdpwlmJEPAsNXb0IdsQlPop5vticoKxVGVUhPlddbiKLx7MURhUiIzcR8crb4_7VcE-lYGrCwEuXsTNaDjr6UmA_4nBXMSIivPWf1bNoNr5U47oc3clr8ywczDM0TJJSgkMzXC/s320/DSCN3310.JPG" border="0" /> I went to both of their school parties but forgot the camera for Brooklyn's but they are all the same...games, food, and craft. Very fun for them. And I have to admit that I even had fun. London was even proud of her box because she got so many compliments on it. In fact, one parent told me that her child said she wished she could have a box like London and the parent said well, then go live with London. I just laughed because I have told London the same thing about other people. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304998132530516018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrQgbHY6gI0ETGaTtknqTqDi63Sxis7iqNZbVMAcva5lOBUzc61Im0hAQLLkJMy5g0Wz-OQX76qsJZ8kLNbY4VzoHhLdX5mSfv9PQP8FT4yFHXCJLdqZSI5Y81ATElJqODwVZ7T8aa0k8X/s320/DSCN3307.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304998133468338338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb9CI_PJYEcHWol2sBMTKV5ZLzR1RFTmVzLr-PFfGCRTTGBrVdNPVyl7x7KDyhOa5ZWURdws_xDRFexqWfdhs25zsfok3XT7WwQQODF9i1UV9MvzSEEmeIns9lZP7482eO2jlF0DlocmQB/s320/DSCN3308.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p>All in all Valentines was good. We even got a special delivery. I got a dozen roses and the girls got a single rose with a teddy bear and a balloon. They were excited that daddy didn't forget them. Too bad Greg has such a crappy wife who didn't get him anything. Hope he knows we still love him.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305000091485017202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbusyn1Uywh1cAXTsyyAJ683sRW_Ot00lWhymp59jPVzGyCKPWf8SZBsIgIBSJGv6-ncYOHSqV0vNb7OwHhx-xgODP9jIjjbIJEsjOv64raM4xA1S6Yu19tCCqdzlgPPz_aCWefsUzOQH5/s320/DSCN3320.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305000093344034434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCErxWjVUDcxIhkjVi6FMncCK0fsww5uMNdJ8kPc_mb8Ri8gxOxTSdOokCw1mn5jYBo8NKfIQ-zPZiVZtlvC30iYJpvuXqxVWDMrVCZ2kE7Uz-m-m54XULECW7lMZYDIROdMlDsg0i8FDu/s320/DSCN3323.JPG" border="0" /><br /></p></div></div></div></div></div></div>Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877427885486788548.post-40425132476528111612009-01-28T11:13:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:28:15.848-08:00Sled RidingCan you help me find my girls? Oh wait, they are in deer hunting orange and hot pink . I will never lose them, even if I tried. We had this grand idea to take the girls sledding. To my surprise, I actually had fun. After the 2 girls were dressed, they didn't want to wait for me to get the baby all bundled, so Greg went ahead and took them out. Once I was ready and had Sydney looking like "Ralphie", we went out to find them. I didn't have to look for very long. They stood out like a sore thumb. Their outfits were so cute on them and perfect for the snow. The coats were long and had a tight cuff so the snow couldn't get down there arms. They would have stayed out there all day if we would have let them. Unfortunately 2 minutes after I was out there I had to head back to the van because I had to change a diaper. So I ended up staying in the van for an hour til Greg came back and took Sydney and I went out and played with the girls for about 30 minutes. Good Times!!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296427117081954210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbzXhvsk50_L4tJhmx1ly4c-Tz-98UawhHHqvJ-OcAP_EP7mzdmHF38NsRWsysgl9IPlYSDnyNuodbcgUOcsinachNYtOWqVGO4maId5IUtoEV9nnvvlQDij-Zwi4S2s99D4WCMOu8HDPm/s320/DSCN3240.JPG" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296427103256628482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqCI_kkxGdyPtziiNoJptaHld5hwyaYguqfkhVmNyDNYGkOPXXYV5Qge8XMKeKUqDmms3lgPOpTjlqYDVg4Z_sqsHkchFf3kXZyqZx068-Mg7qNri7HIQtT9OU4nAjsc1lplnnE9dowEF/s320/DSCN3236.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296427109707813042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkd8M1bpGWTo5DeD0IowI6m8jLv_Y0slIFxYcfo_53PUFF7u5KOsnUr3E8YtnD8YpOACQgaOCa04g8fOoSwBaibc_owDEUv9J7BR_DjfwYNHOT4J-pAJboBSSST7W8bFuZqxU1An0g-gQR/s320/DSCN3238.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296427106897538546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZFPvh80EufQHlQPhfD4EtzKyvmMvK2Mc-PZBQMPXj6bTP14XyRDgkINJoD_ftpv050bc8I5cLiyZJC0GppDVoAb2Gaow_0KrpcIoOPRVzfGP-mXaQ60z_iiSaNci3TGgstsQY-MfnYket/s320/DSCN3237.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Don't ask me what is wrong with Brooklyn's hands in all the pictures.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296427114284818626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB5cItXaDAOkDI8ZHERi0gsiDEFxLKEOWoE05cRYPR22KBEc-qrKRJm8dyCb9mcB2xJwJ3vV80NZ0PYm8QO16tW_WFKICzrmY7fd681GOnMf38S4qYsusPkJMpVmRDmhBQDEpwe1iA1_27/s320/DSCN3239.JPG" border="0" />Maggie's Madnesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05117800497201110437noreply@blogger.com10
