I can't help myself

This is my Christmas ornament for this year. I love it so much ♥

I love Christmas ornaments, yet I hate paying the price for them. I've learned that if you find an ornament that you have to have them buy it cuz it might be gone. There are always several ornaments I want each year, so I buy my fav then wait till after the holidays then buy the others half price. Here's my fav from last year.

The little paper sticking out of the cookie pulls out and has a fortune on it

Rockin' out

This picture is from Wednesday night while I was at my parents house with the kids. We were playing Rock Stars. E on key board, T on guitar, & B singing. I was the fan/groupie. We were rocking out to some AC/DC on T's boombox.

Thanksgiving 2008

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm sitting here listening to Christmas music and the moment couldn't be any better. I'm so thankful for everything I have and I truly know how great life is for us. I hope you all have a wonderful Turkey Day. Eat lots, take many naps today, and enjoy your loved ones.

Our little secret

Rink Rats VS Tigers

15-5

We won. I was not at the game tonight because I went out to my dads house and watched the kids so my Wmom could go and watch the game. She's never been able to atend the games because she's got the kids. We didn't tell my dad what was going on. When he got home from the game he was so excited for mom to have been there. It was priceless ♥

I've got pictures from last night that are so awesome and I can't wait to share but right now I gotta get my butt in gear and get some cooking done.

...tryin' to catch the breath you take away...

Happy 5 years babe ♥ Life has been so amazing, I love you

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Louie, happy birthday to you. Happy 14th birthday Louie

Not our night

Rink Rats VS Knights

We lost 11-6

It was a good game though, we played hard and went after the puck every chance we got. Jason had many great shots and blocks, but unfortunatly no goals tonight. I'm so proud of him even if he does not make any goals (I know he will though, he's so determined). He's gotten so much better just from last season, and I'm so proud he's out there again this season.

My dad's team (Tigers) lost their game also. It just was not our night.

Next week we (the Rink Rats) play my dads (the Tigers) team. I'm sure I'll look crazy yelling for both teams :]

What does friendship mean to you?

What is a friend?
"A single soul dwelling in two bodies". - Aristotle

Definition of friendship (per internet search):

"Friendship is a personal relationship shared between each friend for the welfare of other, in other words, it is the relationship of trust, faith and concern for each other feelings. It is a relationship of mutual caring and intimacy among one another. A friend is one who knows you as a person and regards you for what you are and not what he or she is looking in a good friend. Best friend is one who accepts the good as well bad qualities of his friend and also takes an initiative in correcting and mending them. Friendship is a distinctive kind of concern for your friend, it is a relationship of immense faith and love for each other.

Friendship is all about how much you care and understand each other. It is a pure relationship, which would make your friend smile, feel good as to how much you love him and care for him. It is all about talking, listening and building up a strong relationship loyalty among each other. It is string of love which develops gradually with each others involvement. In certain cases friendship may not last for a longer period and might end up or lose its prime importance of love and regard for each other. There are some friendships which might end with unresolved conflicts and tiffs which means that these type of relationship were not so strong that could hold on their own in adversity and bad times. Friendship is not about merry-making and fun it involves equal loyalty from both the partners.

It should be understood that not all friends are best friends. One might come across numerous number of friends in his life but there are very few who will be their during your ups and down. How one should recognize your best friend the one who will understand your strengths and shortcomings and would be with you in all your good and bad phases of life.

A true friendship does not consist of a huge number of friends you keep but it is valued by its worth and capability to hold you and stand by you in all phases of life.That said finding a best friend from among your friends is the hardest task to do.A lot of people say that the best friends automatically come closer from among a group of friends and you will never have to make an extra effort to do find one."

I'm still kinda shocked...

It's official, our flight for Vegas is booked!! Sunday March 29 we fly out and arrive back home April 02. We are freaking out! It's so more real now that our flight & hotel is paid for and reserved. We are staying at the Rio. We decided on the Rio because all the rooms are suites and we all thought that was cool. We're all really excited to see Pen & Teller and there show is at the Rio, so that's kinda neat too. Not sure about all the different shows we're going to see, but I know we're going to do 4 total.

I want them in my size

My SIL's mother bought these little pink (fake) crocs for baby G. When I saw them I freaked out, being the croc ♥ lover I am! A couple days later I was at WalMart and I saw the black zebra one's and I picked them up for G

They grow up so fast...

Victory

Rink Rats VS Tigars

Rinks Rats won 9 to 4

Way to start the season guys (no girls on our team this season)

Looks like the Rink Rats will be Jason's team this season. He's excited, there's some really great players on the Rink Rats.

First game of the season

Getting ready to head out to the hockey game. Jason got called by the hockey organizer guy (if I ever have to refer to him again, he will be HOG) and was asked to play the late game on a different team. Not sure if it's because that team is short handed or if that's going to be his new team. I'm sure we'll find out though. I hope we win ♥

Hockey: Year 2

Jason starts hockey this week. His first game is on Wednesday. My dad & him are on different teams this year. Their excited to play against each other. Must be a man thing! I'm getting excited to get back into watching the games. I'm sure that will only last a couple weeks though :]
Jason is on the Ice Men again, and my dad is on the Tigers. Should be a fun season.
