Apple picking time!

You know the only thing i don't like about blogger is it's hard to move the pictures around! lol I uploaded them in the right order and it never puts them the same way :( These are pictures of us going to Ill. yesterday to go apple picking. The kids had a blast. We had a gift card for things from the eckerts store so i called to find out if we could use it picking apples and they said sure! So it only cost us a couple bucks to get to Belleville to do this. These are pictures of going there and a couple of the kids. I didn't get any of the orchard or the buildings around Eckerts (i was to busy wrangling 3 excited kids.

This place here has a spectacular christmas light display we go to every year. They also have a petting zoo which is free (unless you feed them) and camel rides. This year hopefully we have money to do the camel rides they aren't expensive and the light display is free. They take donations so we usually give a few bucks to them. It's a wonderful family place to take your children to that gives the true meaning of the holiday anyway.

This was me being silly with the camera. It's just the road leading to eckerts lol.

See an out of order picture! lol To lazy to try to move it though. That's Katie, she wouldn't look at me and told me i was being stupid.

Got more mom put that camera away from Emelina as well. She couldn't get them off the tree it was funny! I finally told her twist them they'll come off easier and she did.

They kept going towards the green ones! On the other side was red delicious (yummy) But Hailey was having fun and she could SEE the apples lol

Just a view from the JB Bridge of the Mississippi when you drive over. This was going home actually. Katie asked me on the way home what lake is that? I said Katie, you know the river that is and she really didn't! When I told her it was the Mississippi she freaked omg mom it's huge. Now we've gone over this bridge countless times lol

Emelina being silly on the way there :) But Hailey thinks it's funny cause i'm facing forward and i just put the camera back there and clicked. Katie is doing homework since she played hookie yesterday. She did go back today with all her work done. I told her homework done BEFORE we get to Eckerts or you'll sit in the car with dad. It was done and correct! lol

Don't mind the car dealership. I was trying to get the arch. You can kind of see it back there. You can see it from the east side pretty well sometimes. It's just the trees are full and tall at the moment.

here is a better view of the arch and some of the surrounding buildings in downtown St Louis. We talked about maybe their next day off (not till november) we will go up in the arch. That gives us sometime to get some money saved. I'll def. take pictures up there.

Well that was our trip. Now i have a fridge full of apples. We gave a few to the neighbor next door for their little girl she loves them. We gave a few to Mary, Jose's girlfriend. And so now i have to figure out what to do with the rest. Thank God we didn't have a whole lot of money because he'd have gotten more! So anyone want an apple?

More!

Lily waving bye bye at me



Lily being cute



Katie didn't think I'd post this one lol



Hailey always looks like a deer with its eyes in the headlights :)



Lily and Katie playing

I'm Alive

Lily was outside this morning with Katie (she played hookie) and the song came on the radio on my pc. She started giggling and rocking and dancing! I have more pictures and another video to come!

A new lo

Just showing off my new lo. I'm still taking that class and it hasn't been any layouts for a while but this one popped in. Took a lot of time to get myself motivated to do it lol. I like doing layouts on my own and not with a tutorial but it's cute. plus i don't have any cute new pics. But i'll have a better layout soon (hopefully with a cake!!)

For the love of Josue

This was made with one of my kits I made. It was the day we went to the zoo and i did it for a challenge. The girl gave us the template, basically a blank canvas with the picture box and the little upright rectangle and that was it. You had to decorate it and make it your own. So I used my kit and this picture. It's just a sweet pic of them and it is animated. if it's not moving click on the pic to enlarge it and it should be moving ;)

Glasses and more

Katie and Hailey had to get glasses. Katies are stronger than mine which was surprising. We only have glasses because of astigmistisms but hers are apparetnly worse than mine. But poor Hailey is far sighted and couldn't see for who knows how long. but she's happy and adorable in hers! She's being a good girl and leaving them on as well :)

These are our new friends getting comfy in their boxes. but i don't think they are going to last long here unfortunately but that's ok. We didn't go out and get them tey found us and we got them out of the elements, fed, cleaned and will probably find them new homes. they are driving josue crazy!

OMG! I got a good shot!

This is Lily's favorite toy we got her. Well worth the 80.00 it cost. Trust me, you got a baby or one on the way this is a must have. She plays in it for hours (if i let her lol) well i opened the door since she was in here and wow there was light! lol so watch the baby and you can hear her giggling (would have been better if her uncle would have respected it and turned the tv down lol so don't mind the stupid spanish show he's watch (no offence spanish isnt' stupid it's the show that's stupid lol) )

Dancey, dancey Lily :)

This video may turn out dark. no matter how many lights i have unless we are outside this camera doesn't pick up things very well. Well for regular photos it does. But Lily was dancing in front of the tv when the movie Footloose came on and she started dancing to the music. You can hear her giggling and talking lol it's funny :)

blah when it rains it pours

Well things were going along, not great but it was going. now we are at another stand still. the car broke down, it's raining so bad we can't do anything with it, we got to money till tomorrow but no way to get it, no way to get them to work, or nothing. it's going to be very interesting

The project

Ok, now I have the 2 liter bottle. No person in Missouri History she's picked and no idea where to go from here. But I got the easy part :) It's a start right? This weekend was interesting. Didn't even feel like my birthday. Didn't do anything. I got that beautiful locket and some pictures from Maggie, dinner cooked for me. Some emails from online friends and ecards from family. Some late some not. Just been interesting. So anyone have any ideas on the project. Cause you know this is my project. and anyone got a hot glue gun they can let me borrow? ugh, all the things I have to buy for this it's not right. ok, now i'm going to go scream lol
