Some of the latest...

2008-12-23T19:18:00.001-08:00

I'm not much of a Dale, Jr. fan, but I love the shirt!

This one is taken in the cafeteria at Savannah's "Honor Role Tea" (punch & cookies, eewe.)

This is one of us at this crazy dueling piano bar, we had so much fun, maybe too much, the goofy smiles give us away!

This is Christi and I under an icy tree. We flew into Albany, NY to shop for costumes on the day after the worst ice storm in 30 years! It was fun shopping with nothing but daylight, we even picked out our last two costumes by flashlight! But the weather didn't get us down, we had a great time, cut up all of the 24 hours that we were there. I thought Albany was wonderful. I can't wait for next year!! Maybe it will be warmer...

Merry Christmas! Our new year will be celebrated in Atlanta!! Woo Hoo! I love being a travelin' woman!

Afternoon with Clifford

2008-08-24T16:22:00.000-07:00

Hey ya'll, can you guess who is in the suit?? He is someone we all love and he will do anything for money... All those with a guess, post below...

SEE???

2008-08-21T18:50:00.000-07:00

See! Don't send these pix around to anyone but family, I still have a lot of weight to loose, faceshots can always look deceiving!

One Fun Filled weekend in Atlanta

2008-08-21T18:34:00.000-07:00

We went to Atlanta last weekend and spent a wonderful 3 days with our friends Janet & Al. We went to Al's Bands' gig at O'Shaunessey's. The Loose Shoes Band was great as always! They took requests and Yes, Jerry and I danced right in the middle of that ol' smoke filled place! What fun. What memories. The next day was spent at The Speidel's lake house. Ahhhhh, the true definition of rest and relaxation, or as Cami puts it "Chillaxin". Enjoy our silly pix!

I dunno what is up with all the paddle boat shots, we got in the water and the ski boat!!

ATL weekend

Sadness need to get outta here!

2008-04-24T12:59:00.000-07:00

Boom baby! Gone! Gone is the sad days. (yes, dear loved ones, PMS is gone) I have no spectacularly great news, we are just really anticipating the coming of SUMMER!! We don't have any huge plans, just a family reunion and maybe another trip to Gatlinburg, (hint hint Jerry).

Ok, I will post a pic of recent. Here is the thing, I was taking the pic for my nutritionist who wants to make some sort of collage and we needed one of me now. I thought the fun thing might be to put it up here and then put one up of, say in August before I started my "New Life Quest". Also please note that I just returned from the gym, so I am sweaty, and thank heavens "smell-o-pc" hasn't been invented yet.

I love you guys, and Amy, it is your turn!!

So, I got tagged too!

2008-02-06T19:06:00.000-08:00

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Savannah turns 8 !!

2008-01-16T13:32:00.000-08:00

I'll write more after Saturday!

Happy New Year!!

2008-01-10T13:37:00.000-08:00

New Year! Woo HoOO! Can I get a woo hoo? Ok ok, I am just ready for all the new stuff that this year has in store! Or doesn't have in store for that matter. However ya wanna look at it.

Cami starts school today, she is excited and a little nervous, weren't we all?

Savannah's baptism is Saturday the 19th. She is thrilled that she gets to be baptized on her grandma's birthday, isn't that sweet?

Jerry and I are having our first annual No Trouble Travel "Get Together" this Saturday the 12th. We will be introducing our new travel business to family and friends.

Jeff Dunham Concert

2007-12-28T11:47:00.000-08:00

Jeff was great! We laughed so hard our faces hurt! Jerry and I went last night to Jeff's concert, it was so much fun! Anytime he is in town I recommend you get tickets! Here are some pix, and I am going to try to get video uploaded, so we'll see. Happy New Year!

All I want for Christmas...

2007-12-24T13:56:00.001-08:00

Merry Christmas! er.. hem~ Happy Happy Holidays!

2007-12-07T10:57:00.000-08:00

Well the holidays are here and are we ready kids? I can't hear you... Oh.. Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?? Uh oh, too much TV with Savannah. She was out with the sniffles this one day this week. She is fine. Well to update lets see, Cami is working a new job as a nanny for her boss from X-treme Play. She loves it, she has more freedom and her nights free which she loves. The boys (ages, 7, 3, 2,and 1) are one heck of a handful, but she seems to be handling it very well. She hasn't run out screaming yet, and the kids still seem to like her. I think it is good for her, she can learn a lot. For some reason I wasn't able to teach her the fine art of cooking and cleaning and diaper changing. She acts like this is the first time she has ever done any of those things. It is quite funny, and I think she is happy. Savannah just got her progress report and as usual she is doing great. Still loves school and her teacher. I hope this lasts for the next 10 years!

Jerry and I started our own online travel agent biz. Anyone who reads this had better book travel on our site or I will feel really bad. Just kidding. This is booking travel on the same airlines and cruises as all the other sites (ie, travelocity, cheap seats etc..), this one pays us commission every time someone books. So go check it out, let us know if you like it or have any comments. www.ytb.com/notroubletravel Feel free to call us anytime if you don't want to go online to book and want us to book it for you. Next weekend we will go to RTA training in Charlotte, looking forward to that! I love to learn about the travel biz. I'm so excited!

Anyway, Christmas cards are on their way to most of you, and have a good one!

Love
Suzanne

Ok, you have to see these Halloween pix

2007-11-05T13:57:00.000-08:00

WOW ! What a couple of weekends!

2007-11-05T13:28:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we "stepped out" for a walk-a-thon for Diabetes for the American Diabetes Association! Our group from Bank of America raised over $6,500! We took Maggie and Savannah and walked 3.2 miles. We all had to soak our feet when we got home. We would have soaked Maggie's feet but she wouldn't have stood still in the warm water. It was a really fun day! Jerry and Savannah went to the Nature Museum after the walk, they loved that too.

This weekend, I got to go to another Time Out for Women. This time in Atlanta. It was great, as always. I stayed with Janet and Al. Here are some pix of them too. Ain't they cuuuuute??

Facebook

2007-10-17T19:35:00.000-07:00

Look me up on Facebook!!!

Isn't It Halloween Yet?

2007-10-11T11:23:00.000-07:00

Oh the Humiliation! Cami bought this little bunny outfit for Maggie. She is dangerous with money and a job, believe me! I thought it was funny and since I don't have any prego pix or new kid pix to put up, I thought I would concentrate on the "Belle of the House", Maggie. She really is a good sport when it comes to dressing up. She takes about all she can, with a few licks to the face to let you know she really loves you but would rather not be dressed up, then she takes off and heads outside. She really is quite quick about the last action mentioned. We now have a "doggie-door" that she is very proficient at using. She races through that thing quicker than you can think "She's gonna hit the door!". She then races through the door with lightening speed and accuracy. When Spike, Ryan's dog was here it was very funny to see the two of them race for the door. Spike was usually a little slower than Maggie and would get under her. I don't know how she managed to not step on him or really get too irritated with him. I think she thought it was a fun game. Sometimes he would miss and hit his head on the edge of the door, or stop right at the door as Maggie goes sailing outside. I have video of it, if there were some way of uploading that somewhere on this thing I would. Although I would have to put a disclaimer on the bottom about wetting your pants and wearing depends when you watch. It should be recommended.

Well, nothing else going on, Ta Ta For Now!

Suzanne

A new day a dawnin'

2007-09-17T15:42:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!
Well, for those of you who care, and maybe for those who don't I have news. I quit my job. This is a good thing. When you do what you love it it a joy to go to work and you can put up with a lot of crap. Well I guess I didn't love my job as much as I thought. I didn't like the crap and wasn't willing to put up with it. I loved the kids and working with my friends. But I missed doing it because I love it. I was doing it because I thought I had to. I have missed taking care of my family and doing fun stuff when I want to. So, horray to me! The pic above is the kids, Matt and Ryan's dog Spawn. Spawn. Yes Spawn. Shea is his mom, so he is names Spawn of Shea. I hate it, but it isn't my dog. He is cute though isn't he?

I got tagged from Jordan!

2007-09-09T15:19:00.000-07:00

1. Where did you meet your husband?
1982, Seminary Super Saturday dance, all the girls wanted to dance with him, and he didn't let them down.

2. What was the first thing you said to your husband?
When? In '82? I wish I could remember, but it was probably "yes" when he asked me to dance.

3. Where was your first date?
Our first date was in 1983 to the Independence HS ROTC Ball.

4. Where was you first kiss?
On the dance floor at the ROTC Ball, He was so smooth.

5. Did you have a long or short engagement?
Well, we met in '82 and were married in '99. Long story. Ok guess that wasn't the engagement, the engagement was about a year.

6. Where did you get engaged?
Over the phone, again at the Spokane Intl. Airport.

7. Where were you married?
Tega Cay, SC Sealed in Columbia, SC temple

8. How was the reception?
It was really nice from the pictures I see. I don't remember much of it. I was very sick. around 3am in the hotel room we had Jamie and Dad come give me a blessing and by 7am, I was in the ER, full blown bronchitis.

9. Where did you go on your honeymoon?
Charleston, SC It was great. Once the antibiotics started working, we had a great time. It was in March when it was starting to get warm and the flowers bloom. We saw Southern Plantations, cool ghostly dungeons (supposed to be haunted), and ate awesome southern food.

OK, I guess the rules are that I have to tag some more people who have to answer the same questions. So I'm going to tag Shannon!! Have fun! :)

Well our summer is officially over...

2007-08-29T08:45:00.000-07:00

School has started. Ugh. I was having such a fun summer and WHAM! School starts again. You would think it was I, Suzanne mother of three, father to none, who was going back to school. Thus it is true. I shall return to school, but to substitute teach not to learn. Well I might add a little note, I usually learn more than they do. Savannah is the last one in school, another 10 years of insanity. Ooo Did I say that out loud? Ok, well I have put two kids through school and I know insanity is on the way. It is called high school. But at least I have a break for now. Yea right, Savannah and I are already arguing about what she wears in the morning. Uniforms are not all created equal! I shall say no more about that.

Anyway, fun things coming up. Labor day, we get to go to the pool again one last time. Last dip, yea! We will be enjoying the company of the sweetest little college student ever! Louremy Pena, a dear friend of ours will stay with us for a while. I wanted to adopt her, but her mom really likes her and said she is the only girl in the family of 4 boys and is not willing to part with her permanently. She is a freshman at UNCC studying engineering, and her father got a new job in Memphis. Needless to say we are thrilled to have her join our little throng. Jerry says it is no problem to add one more girl. What a good guy, huh? It may be an excuse to do more fishing, maybe? Cami is still working at X-treme play, she loves it. We finally got her to take the placement and compass exams to enter RCCC, she will be ready for the spring semester. She is pretty excited.

Well that is it for now. I guess I will have to change the name of this blog. LOL

Ultimate Vacation Spot

2007-08-12T11:07:00.000-07:00

I think we have found the truly untapped beauty and picturesqueness of the south! www.innofthesouth.com The thing they don't tell you about is all the "Gone With The Wind memorabilia they have around. Be sure to go on the virtual tour on the website, that will save a lot of blog space.

Ok, the vacation trip. We left on Friday and drove to Knoxville to stay the night in the most awful, nasty most expensive place around. There is a very long ugly story there, I won't bore you with it. Then we got up as early as we could and drove to Louisville, KY to attend Jerry's mom's families reunion. It was nice to see everyone again (since last summer). See pix below. We stayed overnight and went to church with Aunt Lora and her husband Paul. It was nice little ward, strangely there was a lot of people from Utah there. Then we stayed another night and got up the next morning to go the Louisville Slugger museum where they make the base ball bats. That was a lot of fun. (again, see pix below) Then we drove on to Cincinnati. We wanted to see Uncle Carmel's wife Anne and Carmel's granddaughter Stevie Ray. She is Savannah's age and they really hit it off last year and Savannah was dying to see her again!. We also went to visit Jerry's cousin Steven. He lives in a nursing home and has Lou Gehrig's disease. What an awesome man! I was truly in awe of how Heavenly Father blesses us. Ask me about it later if you are interested. We then drove to Georgetown, KY and stayed over night before heading to the Smoky Mountains. Talk about horse country! It was beautiful and hot. We then drove to Sevierville, TN and stayed at the Clarion Inn. That could have been my whole vacation for all I care. It was so wonderful, indoor and outdoor pools, lazy river and a hot tub. See above for more details. We went one afternoon to see Dolly's Dixie Stampede. It was really cool, just like Medieval Times, you eat with your fingers and choose sides, the North or the South, every one got crazy and ate too much. We then drove though Gatlinburg, TN. We will definitely have to go visit after i get my feet fixed! There is way too much walking. I haven't been to Park City, UT before, but what I imagine it looking like is what Gatlinburg looks like. We then took the long way home just so we could stay in the mountains a little longer. When we peaked at the top of the mountains it was 89 degrees, by the time we got home it was 107 degrees.

So much for trying to decide whether to go to the mountains or the beach this summer? I went to both! I suggest every one go at least once to both places! Let me know when you want to go and I will be more than glad to tag along!

Disclaimer: Cami stayed home, she had to work, she also chose to stay home and take care of Maggie.

Back from Hilton Head!

2007-07-27T19:35:00.000-07:00

We had a great time in Hilton Head staying with Cami's friend Louremy! We hit the pool every day, the beach once, shopping twice and para sailing today! I will have a pic of that up later, I had others take the pix because I was afraid I would drop my camera in the water! (A very real reality!) Enjoy the pix!

It's 11:01pm

2007-07-16T19:55:00.000-07:00

I am lonely! Cami left for Palmyra today. I miss her! She will come home on Friday, just in time for Jerry and I to go to Columbia, then she will leave again for Hilton Head Sunday after church! Waaaaaaaaaa'>' We won't see her until July 30th! Not fair! booohoooo So, Jerry and I are trying to figure out what to do with our time. We want to go to the beach, ok, I want to go to the beach, Jerry wants to go to the mountains. What to do what to do!? Ideas anyone?

I guess I'll go to bed, but here are some pix of us at our ward luau. I ate Lomi Lomi for the first time, I think I said that right, it was raw salmon and what looked like pico de gallo. I dunno, it was good, slimy but good.

It's a dang good thing...

2007-07-12T06:15:00.000-07:00

that only people who love me see this blog. Then again maybe it's because you see me for who I really am! A nut!

Maggie's New Baby

2007-07-12T06:06:00.001-07:00

Mid - July update

2007-07-10T19:41:00.000-07:00

Everyone ready for an update? Yee Haw! Savannah and I are watching Cow and Chicken, oh man, what mindless stuff. Anyway, Savannah recovered really well from her surgery. She sleeps like an angel, no waking up, tossing around like she is possessed or anything! We all sleep better now! She is living out the rest of her summer at the pool, and sleepovers with friends. Cami is now with the world of the employed! She is working at X-treme Play! She loves it, who wouldn't? My friend Grace and I went to Happy Cows Farms last weekend. We had so much fun, we bought real milk, fresh cheese and got to see real cows. I really am a city girl.
My Modbe business is really doing well. I love not doing anything and having business just come a callin!

We have been having an excellent summer. I hope you all are having one too.

Live long and be tan!
Love,
Suz

Surgery Day

2007-06-19T10:29:00.000-07:00

8:00am, arrive at the surgery center. 8:15, Savannah is registered. 9:15 Savannah gets her "silly juice". 9:45, Dr. D. comes in and asks Savannah if she is drunk yet. She giggles (the silly juice working) and he asks her how many hands he is holding up. Savannah says 5 and the surgery will go as scheduled. She said her goodbyes to Mommy and Daddy and away goes our brave little solider. 10:45. we see her in recovery, crying. Our hearts are broken. We have to be the meanest most awful parents alive. We don't deserve her. What kind of parents takes a perfectly healthy, tan, happy little girl and make her suffer like this? I told her she would be in my arms when she wakes up, but they woke her up before I came in. Mommy had not kept her promise, and what was this pain? Mommy didn't tell her about that part! Mommy just said she would wake up as quick as she fell asleep, then soon she would sleep well at night, no more sleep walking, waking up 5 times a night or kicking mommy in the back in the middle of the night. Mommy bad. Mommy mean. Well at least I didn't break a window! hahaha (insider joke, I guess!)

Mean mommy aside, Savannah is doing quite well. She is all doped up and has been asking for SunDrop Sherbet. She got her sherbet and a whole lot more pain meds. I think the only thing she would be hating in the next few days, is no swimming or strenuous playing. This might be the end of her. She told me that she thinks she will never scream again. I think this might be a good thing. Oh here comes mean mommy again.

We got pictures of her on the silly juice, but they are on Jerry's phone and we will have to upload them later.

Hope everything is going well for everyone!

Updates, as I promised

2007-06-14T07:49:00.000-07:00

Am I the only one glad to have her graduate? Everyone looks so serious! There were people in the audience while the kids were walking across the stage screaming, "Git R Done!" I was screaming "We got her done!" Can I get a Woo Hoo?!

Lots going on already. Savannah is scheduled for surgery on June, 19th. Say a little prayer for her. She is having a tonsillectomy and an adenoidectomy. Big words, I know. She isn't afraid, but she will be when it is over. She hates pain. I don't have the heart to tell her it is going to hurt after surgery. I just told her that she will be asleep and she won't feel a thing. So far so good. She will hate me later, I am sure of it. So what else is new huh?

Graduation was great and we had so much fun having everyone here to visit. The party was a smash. There were so many people there I couldn't count, everyone loves Cami.

We have been at the pool almost every day. It rained yesterday and today is threatening, another boring day in front of the tube. Thank goodness we got DirecTV just in time! The thing has a DVR so we can record good shows and watch them any time, so sweet! I love being able to pause live TV too. I am so spoiled! Thanks Jerry!

What A Week!

2007-06-03T18:45:00.000-07:00

Well, we got Seminary Graduation over with. We got the NorthEast Medical Center Honors over with. We got the National Arts Honor Society Banquet over with. 3 down the big one to go. Graduation is June 8th. Savannah's awards day is June 7th. It will be so nice to have it all over with and sit back and relax this summer. Nothing to look forward to but the pool and lots of sun!

This week we got our dinning room painted. It looks awesome. If you don't have you home painted, I suggest you do so, it really makes it feel cozy and lived in. I was just scared to paint, because it seemed so permanent. It really looks great.

Lucy, you got some splainin to do!

2007-05-22T19:40:00.000-07:00

Ok let me explain the bar pix. Al is in a band and Jerry and I went to watch them play in Macon, GA the last time we were there. Yes, it was smoky and loud, but who would have thought Janet, Jerry and I would end up in a Sports Bar in Macon Georgia? We had to put the pix out there for posterity!

Life After American Idol

2007-05-22T18:11:00.000-07:00

Ok, so American Idol is over, well almost, we know Jordin will win (love her!). She rocks, Blake will win too in his own way, I wanna be the first to buy his CD.

We got DirecTV today. We haven't had it for a couple of years (trying to save money). What channels! What a DVR! My life has now changed forever. No longer will I sit up at night telling myself I will make up sleep the next day because Lost changed it's time to 10:00! No longer will I sit and watch some goofy fishing show because there is nothing else on! No longer will I have the TV off. What? The TV will be on all the time? Oh no, now I remember. Cartoon Network, Boomerang (still cool) Nickelodeon, Disney Channels! Oh NO! The TV will truly be on all the time now! I have kinda missed Spongebob and Timmy Turner.

I subbed today in the seriously EC class today. There was only 3 kids, one was in a wheelchair so you would think it would be easy. Whew did Bryant have a meltdown today. Someone messed with his meds and he started tapping his feet and waving his arms. And to top off that craziness Mauro forgot to use his toungue while I was feeding him today. Mashed chicken nuggets and macaroni salad. Lets not forget the catchup. Was kinda gross. But I sure love these boys. They are trying so hard and have come so far this year. When I subbed in the class at the beginning of the year, it was constant restraint, and diaper changing and trying to figure out what they needed or wanted. I see today at the end of the year that Jackson is using words like yes, no, hi and love you. The sweetest thing is when he runs around the playground backwards with his sunglasses on. Too dang cute. He put on 3 pounds since December, which is something. he is 6 and is 28 pounds now! I see changes in Bryant too, new glasses are the most noticeable, and the meds change is apparent, but he really does do better now, he is eating more than just canned spaghetti. Mauro smiles a lot. I put his leg braces on right all by myself today, he told me I did it right. I used to get them on the wrong feet and he wouldn't say anything. I did it right the first time this time. Yea me. I think he thinks I am nuts, but he just smiles and makes the nummy nummy sound anyway.

Jerry just left for work, I miss him already. He is such a good husband. When Janet and I got home from TOFW in Raleigh, Jerry made us steaks on the grill and served us salads outside on the patio. It was great, he said he didn't want our weekend to end, just keep on going. Well, when Janet heard this she told her husband (who is equally wonderful I might add) and he calls Jerry and tells him to lay off, he is making the other hubbies look bad. We laughed and laughed.
Janet and I really are blessed. We know it and don't take them for granted. :o)

Live long and prosper....

Sitting here all broken hearted

2007-05-21T19:21:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! My new blog, say Heyyyy! Anyway, so I'm sitting here tonight after watching my favorite TV show "Heroes". What was up with Syler getting away? The last shot in the show before they went off to next seasons stuff was a blood trail into the sewer. So what, now we are going to have the teenage mutant ninja turtles? I love that show, but like "Lost" my other favorite show, it makes me crazy. You ask if I want drama in my life? No way, I'll stick with TV drama. At least it isn't a soap, right?

Well we are getting ready for the big 18th birthday, Seminary Graduation and HS Graduation. The next 3 weeks are going to be crazy. Cami has most of next week off because she exempted out of her exams. That means she had grades high enough that she doesn't have to take the end of class exam. Yea Cami! She will also be inducted into the National Arts Honors Society on Wednesday night. Pretty cool huh? She has her pottery on display at Northeast Medical Center, The trophy cases at school, and she will be sending some items to be judged for some free money prizes and cool stuff. Cami is pretty amazing. She doesn't think that, this is just her Mamma bragging. I see where I have been neglectful as a parent though. I have been so busy with the issues at hand (HS, boyfriend, seminary, curfews, Mormon standard time) that I haven't really prepared her for her future. So, Cami will be attending a community college for a bit, just to get her feet wet and then she wants to transfer to a university. I think this is a great idea, I get to keep her home with me for a little while longer. I am glad she isn't wanting to get out as soon as she can. We would be sad.

Savannah is really looking forward to a summer of playing and swimming. She can't wait for second grade, but she really needs a break. She does so well in school and behaves like an angel, she needs to just let loose! We have plenty of friends who have joined the same pool as us so that we will always have friends when we go. This is good for Savannah because she very often gets only child syndrome, and is upset when she has no one to play with. That of course makes me crazy. I have told my kids for years that I am not the entertainment committee. This of course makes them crazy and you can see where this is going, yes. Nowhere.

We don't have any big vacation plans, hopefully we can get to the beach at least once this summer, even if for a weekend.

Thanks for reading the blog, I'll check back often and give updates! As Bob says don't forget to spay or neuter your pets!
