HEY

Okay so I haven't updated in FOREVER but not really much to update on lol. Only thing really is that I got my job back. It has been weird being but weird in a good way. Right now my life is in a good place I guess. I am FINALLY in the direction I need to be in to do things good in my life. Im happy. Oh and the bums that lived in my house are GONE =) It is so nice having them gone. Things in life are just great for me and my family. We are starting to get back on our feet and thats just an amazing feeling. I absolutely love it =)

I love these kids

Bored

All I have to say is this sucks. I hate how the stupidest smallest things can greatly affect so many things. One thing is there and then it is gone. It sucks. Things change I guess sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad. Don't know whether this is a good or bad change. I guess we will find out. If I had known a year ago what I know now would I have changed things a year ago...No I wouldn't have. Some things in the past that I have done more recently yeah those things I would have changed in a heart beat. But I guess not all of us can be happy. Anyone who knows me and reads this knows what I am talking about. I guess this really is the only way I can express things on my mind.

Rest In Peace Baby Olivia Griffin 11-20-2008

Yesterday was a tragic day in our family. My cousin and his girlfriend went to the hospital thinking she was about to have her baby only to find out she is now an angel watching over us. Olivia Griffin was born 11-20-2008 sometime in the afternoon. We miss you so much Olivia. You are now free from any pain that you may have been caused and any tragedy you may have experienced. We love you. Uncle Bud, Aunt Diane, Uncle Gary and Great Grandpa Eddie will all take care of you.

Election Day

So today is Election day. This is the first time I have ever gotten to vote. It was a little weird but I am glad that I went out there and voted. I am happy with the decision I made. I am happy with the person I voted for and It was nice to perform my civic duty as an American. I am happy that I decided to exercise my right to vote. I even got my little I voted sticker.

Halloween...

For Halloween this year it took some imagination to get Julian's costume together but we were able to do it. He really loved his costume this year. It looks so cool. We had a lot of fun dressing him up and putting the face paint on his face. This year Julian was the Hulk. He loved it.



Zoey went as Mulan for halloween. It is so crazy cause she dont even look like zoey. It so so weird lol. Taylor went as Mulan as well. They both looked cute.



As you can see, Dezmond went as batman. His little cape on the back of his shirt is so adorable. Then again Dez is adorable lol. Overall it was a good Halloween.

Chef Manardee

So last night my brother decided to cook dinner for us. He wanted to cook us Carne Asada but there is a lot of people living at my house so we went with a cheaper dinner. We had Chicken Fajitas. Man they were soo good. I believe that he cut up like 5 lbs of chicken. We bought that much chicken because my cousin and her husband were supposed to come over for dinner but they didn't. Because they didn't show up we had to put half of the chicken that was cut up away for a different night. Man, I never realized how much my brother has grown up. Seeing him cut up all the veggies and all that chicken and then marinating it and then frying it just made me realize all of that. The crazy thing is he likes doing all that. I think that if my brother went to a culinary arts school he would do very good. He even likes to cook with all those weird spices that chefs who go to school for all that use. He was going to add something like dill weed to the chicken but we talked him out of it lol. We told him this is Mexican food and he can't put that in there. He tried fighting us on it but he was okay with not putting it in there. Anyways, The pics you see are pictures of when he started and then the final product.
