You know you are getting old when...............

Well after a night of friends stopping by to check out the TUBS of scrapbooking stuff that Lesa brought over. Major Craziness began on Saturday morning at 9 am.
Off to get 3 birthday gifts then games galore!!
So 1st Birthday party was Saturday morning, followed by and overlap of Emilys game which she scored 2 goals. Then jump in the car to pick up Carly and head to Bailey's game, which they won 3-1 with Carly scoring the game winning goal (they were tied 1-1 most of the game, up till the very end). Followed by a RUN AND JUMP to the car for Danny's game which they won and Danny made an assist in that game! We then RAN to get everyone packed up. Bailey had a sleepover Birthday party, and Danny and Emily had a night at Grandma and Grandpa's. WHOO HOO mom and dad get a night out! (yeah only wish it was that exciting)
We were so tired from all the running of the day that we went to dinner and home on the couch to watch a show that we did not even make it though all the way without falling asleep!!!! We are sad!
Anyway, we finished the weekend with Bailey having another game and all 3 kids having a birthday party they went to at Pump It Up.
Boy are we tired and going to bed early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Busy weekend!!

Well for me the weekend always starts on Thursday. See in my job I work M-TH then have Fri - Sun off each week. This past week was a different week for us. We started Monday morning at 2 am. Danny woke me up telling me he threw up in his bed, well needless to say I flew out of bed, got him to the bathroom and cleaned up the mess in the room. After settling him on the couch with towels surrounding him and a trash can next to his side, I struggled to fall back to sleep. I found an episode of Desperate House Wives on a rerun, and fell back to sleep.

Well that explains how Monday was going to be!!! Actually, it was a very relaxing peaceful day just Danny and I. He laid around, played his wii, laid around, then SKIPPED to the bus stop to get his sister off the bus.

Back to School and Work for Tuesday, but oh rain, so OH darn NO SOCCER PRACTICE! oops did I sound excited about that?

Wednesday was a normal running day for us!

NOW THURSDAY IS WHEN ALL THE FUN BEGINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I start my morning the way I always do, up at 7 am and straight to the shower. When I got out of the shower my home and cell phone were going NUTS. I answer my home phone to Cheryl asking me if I had heard all the craziness that was going on . Answering NO due to the fact I was still DRIPPING wet, she goes on to tell me about the "killer" lose in O'Fallon MO. Long story short, they caught him but not without much concern by my mom, my husband, the parents of the preschool, and many others who were in the area at the time!!!
To end my day we went to the rehearsal dinner for my nephew Michael who married my new niece Molly (but we will get there soon)

Friday was a day of helping Bailey's teacher with a project (which I really enjoyed), having lunch with my kids at school then home to clean and await the arrival of the 6 kids who joined us for "Kids night out".

Saturday started at 7:45 am with my feet hitting the floor and not stopping till 1:30 am. Started with shopping for birthday presents for parties we had this weekend, on to Soccer for Bailey, then Emily, then Danny, finishing up that part of our day picking Emily up from her friends party and home to shower for the wedding. After getting everyone showered, dressed and out the door within a hour and 15 min off to the ZOO it was for Michael and Molly's reception (did you notice I didn't even get to go to the wedding cause of all the craziness?) What a great place for a wedding reception............. BEAUTIFUL SETTING, BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, HANSOM GROOM, AND A FUN GROUP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY. A perfect party!!!!!

Sunday (today) the girls did not even get out of bed till 10:30am. They were wiped out from all the dancing!! Danny just put chairs together Sat night when he got tired..........
We headed to a birthday party for the kids friend Alex (it was lazier tag) Kids had a blast. Dan golfed in a tournament all day today. Lucky dog is off work tomorrow.

Off to bed tonight.......................and ready to start all over again this week!!!! Hope your weekend was less craziness but still fun!!

Over a month now

Boy just when I get into the swing of blogging i slip again!! (sounds like my dieting or lack of).

Life has been FULL of excitement the last few weeks.
Let see where to begin....................
Kids are enjoying school this year, Emily loves her teacher. She sings a lot in class, shows the kids sign language for many things she says, and is just an all around great teacher and fun for the kids.
I know Danny is loving school and his teacher, Dan asked him to skip 3 days of school to go to the lake and golf with him last week and Danny told him that he did not want to miss school.
Bailey, well let see she really likes school, loves her teacher but would still miss in a heart beat! she has her first (and second) crush on 2 different boys!!!! One is in her class and the other has been a family friend for about 6 years now! WOW i am getting really scared!

The kids have kicked off the soccer season, and are doing great!!! Emily loves soccer.... asks all the time "how many games this weekend?" She is a great goal scorer and will fall back to play defence when needed! I hope the love of the game continues for her.

Danny is still trying to convince us that he hates soccer but I tell you a kid the scores and plays the way he does I think it is more that he wants to be playing Wii instead!!!

Bailey is loving the game as usual. She is playing on a select team this year that Pat and Dan are coaching together. Bailey has made some new friends on this team and really enjoys it.

Dan is coaching Emily's team, assistant coaching Bailey's team with Pat and loving watching Danny play. I love seeing Dan so involved with the kids sports, but most of all the kids love it.

Dan just switched jobs..... actually started today. He went back to First National where he worked before Associated. He loved it at FNB so I look forward to him being happy again!!!!

As for me......... Lets see, I am working back at preschool again but different position (Science and Art Teacher) I am loving that so much. I am the Team Manager for Bailey's soccer club (Bino's) Loving that too. Scrap booking a couple times a month (that goes without saying that I love it) And just watching the kids play soccer and helping with homework and enjoying every moment.

WOW HOW TIME JUST FLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will try to keep it under a month!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Bailey!! Big 8 year old!!

Today my baby turned 8. I can still remember walking into the hospital on Sunday night at about 8 PM afraid they were going to send me home (they did the night before) and worried about becoming a Mom ( I get tears just thinking back on it). Now I'm an old pro, 3 kids later, I got it!

So the BIG day really was that- A HUGE DAY for her. Dan decided that he was going to take her out 1/2 day today to do something fun. Well at least that was the original plan. 1/2 day??? shoot the girl only went to school for an hour! He picked her up at 10:15, they went to the ARCH, went on the tour and up in the arch, went on a helicopter ride, then off to the zoo they went. They got home at 6:30 PM, we down loaded the camera to see the fun pictures and off to dinner we went. She picked ETHYL's, the kids like to play on the outdoor playground. Grandma and Grandpa Drezek joined us for the fun.

She was so excited last nigh she could not go to sleep, it was 11 PM before her little body finally shut down. And jumped out of bed at the first sound made in the house! Tonight, well that was a totally different story!! She couldn't keep her poor eyes open after that day with Dad.

I am so glad she got to do that! She kept telling her dad "this is my best birthday EVER". Oh yeah, we forgot the presents: ipod shuffle, digital camera, 2 pairs of PJ's, ipod docking station, ear rings and 2 new webkinz. That was just from Dad, Mom, Emily and Danny! Grandma and Grandpa gave her CASH!!!!

OH MY FORGOT! When they were at the ZOO, they went to the sea lion show and the man picked her as his helper to feed them and do tricks with them. I am posting some pictures of her helping, her in the arch, her helicopter ride and some of her other fav's
