Vacation here we come!!!

Well the countdown is officially on... We will be leaving on Thursday and will be gone for 9 nights... omg! This is a long trip for us... we are driving, yes driving to Colorado and then on to Nebraska, back to Colorado, then home... It kind of sucks because half of our trip we will be in the freaking car! The reason for the trip is because Nicks dad has retired (as of April 1st, not a joke) and he spent alot of his working years in Colorado, so we are having a reception there.

Nick has always wanted to make a trip to Colorado for one because he has relatives there that has not seen the kiddos yet and this would be a great opportunity, and then his grandma (who is 95) lives in Nebraska and he wants to take the kids to see her because well life is short and this is a perfect time to go visit!

Now you are probably wondering how this is going to work...well we are for sure going to be driving to CO in 2 days because for one, I dont like to ride in the car for a long time...I can go maybe 8 hrs or so, but then I am done... and second, who knows how long the kids can last in the car at this age! The last long trip we did was to Pismo Beach last year and they were 7 months old...going there, they were peachy, coming back home, they were wired! LOL so lets just hope that the trip goes well, we are planning on leaving early in the morning (before the kids wake up) and hope that we can get a few hours out before they wake up and want to be FREE! We do have a portable DVD player so I am thinking that is going to be our godsend... we shall see.... so please say prayers for us that we will have a great journey and we will be safe in all our ventures and make it home in 1 piece, and sane! (this is when the spa gift card will be coming in handy) :)

I will be sure to post some pics....

Happy Birthday to me! (a few days late)

On June 5th it was my birthday, wow time has come and gone! This year is just really flying by, pretty soon I will be planning my twinks 2nd birthday! EEK! For my birthday I received money, gas gift card (will come in super handy!), Wii Active, and my BFF Joan, Don and Liz got me a spa gift card, itunes gift card, and other little misc trinkets. THANK YOU!!! We just had cake and ice cream (nothing too fancy) it was a great night...here are a few pics




On Saturday Nick, his parents, the kids and I went to Carrabas for dinner for our birthday (his mom's bday was the 31st)...that was a yummy dinner!
