APPLESAUCE!!!!

This last weekend my sister and mom made my grandma's applesauce. It was so time consuming and exhausting but it was so worth it. We ended up with 30 jars of applesauce and I still wanted more. Karl is happy that I finally used the equiptment that he bought me a few years ago. I just never had the space to can and now I am still itching to make more.
I made applesauce with my grandparents a few years ago and when I came back with my load everyone in my family wanted some. Don't worry I shared, but now my mom and sister know how to make it so everyone can make as much as they want. Thank you Debbie, Mom and my beautiful nieces for making the sauce with me!

My talented friend

I got this in the mail today. I was so excited to see what creation was made for me for my birthday. I am so proud of my friend, you know who you are, for using her talents and creating this bracelet that I love. Thank you!!!!!!!
We also celebrated my birthday by going out to Ocean Shores. It was AMAZING. I loved every minute of it. Even if it did cost me an extra $500.00. Anywho. I forgot that the pictures are not on this computer so check out my facebook pictures, Karl got beautiful pictures of the beach and ocean with the camera. Thank you to everyone who made my birthday special!!!!!

New Smile, Old Smile

New Smile.

Old Smile.

Back when I was in the Merrie Miss Class, over 15 years ago we played the trust game at church. I was blindfolded and I was directed around the church. At one point I was walking asking when I was supposed to stop or turn and then all the sudden I hit the wall and my front tooth broke in half. I had a cap put on the tooth and just recently my tooth started to have problems again. I went to the dentist and he said that there was no way to save the tooth. He pulled it and then gave me a retainer with a fake tooth on it called a flipper. I think that it looks better but my mouth still hurts.

Goofy pictures. Goofy smiles.

Relaxing days. Hanging out with family.

My brother Louie came into town and we were busy visiting with him and his little family. We spent alot of time at my parents house, I fell down and twisted my ankle. I had a nasty bruise on my arm. We also went to Snoqualmie falls. Ty and I went down to the bottom and then back up with Debbie and her girls and Louie and his girls and Mel. My parents waited at the top. I should have just waited for everyone to come back up but I wanted to be with everyone as much as possible.

We have been so busy the last few days. My brother Louie came into town with his family. We have been trying to get as much sleep as possible but we have not wanted to leave my parents house. I have been not doing much lately up to this point. I have no excuse, but I haven't done much with my time besides bake and clean my house. If you want to go do something together, just call me and we can get together.

Only because you are my sister of another mother.

Yes its me. I was caught climbing in the big toys at Mcd's and I had to accept the fact that my picture would be taken and I was also told that I had to post it on my blog. Its not a bad picture, mostly because LJ is "conveniently" hiding my flab. Thanks for the proof that I am still young at heart.

My life

Lately we have been consumed with Tyler which is totally normal and natural. But in the midst of that I have changed my focus. There are things that I try not to worry about anymore. People make choices. I make choices. I have a hard time with change, so in my head my baby is NOT 19 months old.
On another note. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and he found another VERY small tumor. It is totally normal to have small fibroids, but in my case all I have know is my big boy charlie tumor. SO when the doctor told me I was normal I bawled. He asked me what was wrong and I voiced my concerns and he proceeded to tell me that my last tumor was totally abnormal and it was very rare for them to grow at the rate that it grew. Long story short, I am going in for another ultrasound in august to see if this itty bitty tumor (less than 2 cm) will stay the same or grow (Charlie grew to a hefty 8 cm). I will keep you posted as I try to consume my life with more things that are more precious to me, such as my husband, tyler and my friends and family.
