Good morning!

Good morning everyone! I hope you all are having a good weekend. Yesterday we spent the day at Bartlett Lake, it was so beautiful! There were a ton of wild flowers, boats, fishing and fun! We didn't fish because they didn't sell the license at the marina and we didn't want to travel 25 miles back to get one, especially with the price of gas, so we just enjoyed each others company, LOL! We took Teddy with us too, I think he enjoyed the day as well. He slept in between Bobby and I all the way home. Since I wasnt' able to clean house yesterday or do any laundry I guess I will be doing that today. Lastnight we finally got to watch the movie "Dan In Real Life", it was really good. We even played a couple of bowling games after the movie on our PS3, I kicked Bobby's and Daisy's butt, LOL! I guess I've been practicing more than they have. Well, just wanted to check in and hope everyone is having a great weekend. Talk to you soon!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great day! We celebrated Easter at our house this year. The weather was so beautiful. The little kids played outside, hunted for easter eggs and the older kids played football and hid the Easter eggs. Every one had a great time. Well, just wanted to share some pictures of my grandson Richie coloring Easter eggs and Daisy with an Easter basket and singing chicken she received from my boss Bill, he spoils her :) Until next post.

A Life For Sale

I don't know if any of you have heard about this guy selling his life but I stumbled across this the other night and thought is this for real? How can someone do this? I don't know what to think about this guy. Is his life that bad that he just wants to up and quit everything and start a new beginning? There have been times in my life where I wish I could have done this but that thought went away in an instant, this guy is actually going to follow through with it, or at least we'll find out for sure on June 22, 2008 at midday when his life goes up for auction on ebay. If you haven't heard anything about it here is the link, pretty interesting. A Life 4 Sale Also check out his you tube video I have posted.

"Enchanted"

Every Wednesday we have our sweet little princess Daisy and it is family night, so tonight we watched the Disney movie "Enchanted". If you can believe Brandon actually watched the whole movie and Bobby really liked it, he even commented after the movie was over how he would like to see it again with his grand daughter Trinity, so sweet. It is such an adorable movie, so if you haven't seen it already, rent or buy "Enchanted". I sound like a movie critic don't I? By the way, Patrick Dempsey is "McDreamy" in the movie.

Play Station 3

So yesterday we purchased Playstation 3, mostly for the Blue Ray DVD player but let me tell ya' we are having so much fun with the High Velocity Bowling game. You play it like the bowling game for Wii. I am so sore from playing this game but can't get enough of it. Daisy's first throw of the bowling ball was a strike!!! She was so excited, LOL. If you have PS3 definitely go online and purchase the game for only $9.99 it's so worth it. Okay, I'm off to try and get a 300 score, wish me luck!!!

Xzavier's Birthday - 9 years old

Today is Xzavier's birthday and he turned 9 years old. Xzavier is Bobby's grandson so I guess he is my Step Grandson. Frances and Joseph (his parents) had a birthday party for him with a Spiderman Bouncer, all the kids had a blast. The adults decided to chip in and get the Pay Per View fight of Pacquio Vs. Marquez. It went the whole 12 rounds and Paquio won, we were rooting for Marquez. Oh well, it was still a good fight. It was such a beautiful day today. Hard to believe that today was 78 degrees and tomorrow it's only suppose to be 60 degrees with rain. This crazy Arizona weather, no wonder people are always getting sick. Bobby and Daisy have been suffering with their allergies today, especially when the wind started to kick up this afternoon. Thank goodness for Claritan, LOL! Well, just thought I would post a pic of Xzavier's birthday. I'm tired so I guess I'll go to bed. Until next post.....

First Blog

My name is Barbara and I live in Surprise, AZ. I am 48 years old and work full time as an inside/outside advertising sales rep. for a local community newspaper. I have been selling newspaper advertising for the last 11 years. I'm someone who can actually say "I Love My Job!" I'm very fortunate.

Well, I have no idea why I'm doing this blog. It seems that everyone has a blog these days and it's a way for family and friends to keep in touch and so forth. So I guess I'll give it a try.

I have posted a few of my projects. I purchased the Cricut when it first came out a couple of years ago and use it on almost all of my scrapbook pages, I just love it. I recently purchased the Cricut Design Studio as well as Sure Cuts Alot!

Thanks for reading and please leave me a comment :)
