Well hello everyone and sorry it took me so long to update!! Currently I am getting a package ready for my cousin in Iraq. He had informed me that he wants tuna fish!! What?? I would be asking for bags of Doritoes and chocolate!! He is also into magic so I found a couple of goodies to add to the package!! We are sooo proud of Justin. Tommy went to school the other day with a picture of Justin in hand and had his army stuff... send by Justin's Mom... straight from the Army store!! Tommy is so proud that he know someone in Iraq!!

So here is a picture of Justin in his gear and Tommy with Justin's picture and a Picture of Tommy Holding GRANDMA SANTORO'S BB gun!! (I never even knew that G'ma gave this to Eric to give to Tommy)

So our summer has gone by pretty quick and with no time to add to my blog. Let's see ... Tommy joined swimteam this year and did great. At the first practice I was a nervous wreck thinking he would not make it to the end of the 25 meters. HeLLO.. my boy did it.. he won a ribbon at every meet. (All the 8 and under do) but, he place 1st- 5th everytime. Not to bad for someone who couldn't swim last year!! He loved watching the olympics too... what a great year for Tommy.

The top pictures are of the kids... Sam and the kids down at the shore.

2008-07-27T11:20:00.000-07:00

Things have been a little crazy. I wanted to add some picture of what has happen in the last month. Tommy is skateboarding like crazy. He is getting so daring. We made a visit to Sandy Hook in April and the last pic is of Allison at Ballet.

2008-03-04T11:30:00.000-08:00

The tope picture is from Tommy's family birthday party. He turned 6 in January... I know... It goes fast. The second is a picture I took before school pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago and thank goodness I took it ... their school pics were not the best...So.... see ya

2008-01-31T10:31:00.000-08:00

Yes, I am superMom right now!! I am working full time and going to school. Eric is still not at work so therefore I must work. I am working at a Nursing Home for little kids and adults. It is actually really nice. I love working with kids that are medically fragile. I go home everynite saying...."I love my job". These kids have no one and it makes me happy that I am able to play with them. Yeah, it is real sad but, I now have an extended family!! There are like 90 kids under 14 most of them are vented and there are about 20 ... 13 to 21 year olds and about 70 above 50 years old... yea did I mention that their are geriatrics there too!!! It is what I love wrapped up in one!! When Eric goes back to work I will just be working weekends!!! Let's hope I still love it in a couple of weeks!!!
Tommy and Allison are fine. Tommy is having a birthday party at the YMCA and all his friends are coming. Allison is getting excitted because I promised her that she can join gymnastics when Dad goes back to work... She is loving dance class and we got her outfit for her recital and it is sooooo cute!! I promise to post some pics.

2008-01-01T21:26:00.000-08:00

This is Uncle Greg with Tommy down the shore ... he is teaching him to skim board. Uncle Greg is the best.

2007-11-30T10:42:00.001-08:00

I had my Basel Cell Carcinoma removed on Thursday the 29th. It went fairly smooth. It hurts some but, I think it is just the swelling and the stitches pulling each other. The scar is right in one of my wrinkles around my eye so it will look like a wrickle when all is said and done. YIPPEE. Will post after pics in a couple of weeks

2007-11-30T10:17:00.000-08:00

Just some random pictures taken in November. I can't believe it is going to be December already. I have done some shopping but, since dh is laid off it is going to be a tight one. My kids are easy to please so I will be shopping thift store. Hey, don't laugh... you can get some great stuff there. I actually went to Salvation Army on Wednesday (50% off family day) I know I am a freak because I know that but, hey.... kids grow out of clothes soooo fast. I got some great stuff. Hey, they will never know!!! Tommy is into his Nintendo DS and I found this great spot that sells them used so I got some great deals. The best part is they will take them back as returns at the price I paid. He also is liking everything remote control and he is very interested in being a ROCK STAR and a SCIENTIST... he is grabbing my A&P Lab book and asking a million questions... (hopefully in the name of science...LOL) Allison is still a girly girl and loving Barbie, princesses and makeup. She loves clothes and if she doesn't like something (ie... pants, shirt, shoes) she will NOT wear it. I kind of know her taste so it is easy for me but, I swear I think we will be doing a lot of returning when she gets older. grrrr

2007-11-19T17:13:00.000-08:00

I am no JACK ASS!! I love this picture. I am on my old computer and I came across this picture and thought I would share it with ya'll. This was at SC Fair 2006 over a year ago!! Let see, nothing new here. Flounder is on his hunting trip and killed a deer the other day... no pictures, no proof right?? Anyway, the kids miss him like crazy!! We have been going to Granny's house because "She's Cool" and then they don't ask about DAD as much... so ice cream and Granny are "cool" now~~

2007-11-04T18:55:00.000-08:00

Totally having computer problems so sorry for not posting in a long time. I have a bad virus on both my laptop and desktop/// it's not fun with all those darn pop ups. Let's see what is new?? Tommy and Allison had a great time on Halloween. Tommy dressed up like the "Scream" guy with the blood dripping down the front of the mask and Allison dressed up in this big pink barbie dress with heels and make up. (I know... nothing new for Allison..LOL) She actually just spent the day with my Mom on Saturday and Allison got lots of goodies from the Disney Store.. (My mother wonders why I never take her there>>>LOL) They went "NUTS"... shoes, dress, foo foo girly stuff...Allison really loves that kind of stuff!! I will make sure to post some of the picures.

2007-09-19T20:58:00.000-07:00

I am totally slacking in the picture taking. Allison's birthday was on the 10 th and she had a wonderful time. She just loves when things revolve around her. I did take pictures of that but, totally missed all the good shots. Maybe I need a new camera... HINT>>>> na just kidding. I did grab some photos that were on my pc to share. The one picture is Allison jumping on the bed at our house down the shore... One is with Uncle Greg, Ali and Tommy and the other pictures is of Allison with one of her OUTFITS. Allison is getting so big.. she is in a DANCE CLASS every Wednesday and she just loves getting her little ballet shoes on. She is such a "girl"... man oh man... I am going to have my hands full. She is only three and she has a mind of her own. Today we went to the doctors for her physical and the doc said "WOW Allison, hasn't been here in ONE YEAR!! She had no doctors visits in one whole year. Tommy on the other hand... grrrrr... Actually, the last time he was sick was in Feb. when he was hospitalized. tommy is enjoying school.... tom'w we have back to school night!!! YIPPPPPPEEE I am so excited!!!!! He also started CCD... can you believe it... they start at 5 years old!!

Sorry Sara for adding this picture but,,,, you know that I had too!!! One of these days we will take a picture that we both like!!

Let's see.. what is new with me... NOTHING>.. still school, stil trying to lose weight, still dieting, still bragging about my family, still blogging, still.... oh year..did get a AA in Liberal Arts... and graduated with Honors... too funny right and I am still going to school... I JUST DON"T KNOW WHAT I WANNA BE WHEN I GROW UP grrrr

Just some random pictures taken today at Crater Lake!!!

2006-06-24T22:32:00.000-07:00

Can you stand how darn cute they are?? Today we went to Crater Lake again but,it was raining and we had a little BBQ. It was cool. We saw lots of deer and only one bear.. (a big one) not at the lake but, on the ride up there. Tommy, Eric, Allison, and myself have contests to see who can spot more deer while we are riding up there. Tommy, by far is getting really good as spotting deer while in the car. Allison and Tommy both love riding around Flatbrook with the windows open and looking for deer. I actually like it too.....well, I think I like Tommy getting excited to spot deer before the "hunting pro" does...LOL The pic of Allison is at the lake.. she is trying to climb up the rocks and Tommy is smelling flowers posing for a picture... "WHAT A HAM!!!"

2006-06-23T19:43:00.000-07:00

Okay, Tommy is coughing today, and yesterday and I upped his REliv shakes to see if it could help it kick it quicker. He has no fever or runny nose and he really isn't complaining. Today I found out that I passed my Graduate Writing Exam so Wednesday, is my official last day at PCCC! YIPPEE

2006-06-20T11:22:00.000-07:00

Is this a look of the past?? No nebulizer?? No inhaler?? Well it has been 6 weeks and Tommy has had no colds, allergies, no snotty nose!!! Reliv.... is it the answer?? I would love for him to never have to take an inhaler again.... Want to know more... just ask me??

2006-06-20T11:11:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my blogspot!! I have been wanting to do this for a long time. For all of those who miss me... you can read up on me!! Only kidding!!!
The picture to the right is Allison... with "bed head" gotta love it though!! It's funny how when they told me I was having a girl.... I started thinking "oh god, I am going to have to brush her hair".... as you can see... that doesn't happen that often!! LOL!! The other picture is of Tommy on Easter. He really is a ham!! Can't wait to update this blog with tons of pictures and stories of what we are up too.
So far today we had swim lessons and Grandma and Pop Pop came with us and couldn't believe how good Tommy is in the water. He swims like a lttle fish with that noodle thing.
