pendelton rocked!

so my girls weekend was sooooo much fun! on friday darcy picked me up and we took off for the rodeo....we started to get a little bit hungry and decided that we should get something to eat since the only thing we would have after that would be ....alcohol. so we stopped at the subway in baker...i loved subway when i got there, and when we left, i hated it! the girl making my sanwich looked like she was fresh out of a rave (sweaty hair, smeared purple and green makeup, baggy jincos) and she was one of the most unpleasant people i have ever met. so anyways...it took her about 7 minutes (not joking) to get her gloves on and she blew into them to get them to open up so she could slip her greasy hand in (aren't they supposed to wear them to avoid jerms?) so she puts her gloves on and i tell her that i would like chicken on my sandwich...she gets out the bag of chicken and looks through it throwing away 2 peices before she finds on that doesn't have mold or whatever on it...so i was getting grossed out, then she asks me what cheese i would like,i would like swiss.....so she gowes through the cheese throwing away the top 5 peices before finding one to put on my sandwich... and then scrapes the onion off of the bottom of the bucket and tosses it on there too. so f-ing nasty! so do you think i wanted to eat that? no! but you know what...i did. and i didn't even throw up! so then i went to the liquor store and got CORN whiskey and i should have known that it was going to be nasty because it is a lighter version of moon shine, it was called shine on. so we get to the hotel in pendleton and find 3 guys standing by their tailgate with several top shelf liquors. we got out and of course...we were offered a shot. and of course....i took one...or two...ok it was 3! and so i let them have the first pull off of the "shine on." and that was the last drink they would ever have of that stuff...they almost threw up and then i called them pussies and took one myself....and they really were not pussies... so i was soon nicknamed virgina moon (it was distilled in virginia).

so we went up to the room and got ready for the night and headed off to town. now this is where things start getting fuzzy...ha ha! we went to a couple bars and headed to the convention center to the dance...i don't know why, but for some reason i got all mixed up and lost jade and megan so i had to call darcy and have her pick me up at the high school (keep in mind that we are at the convention center, not the high school) so they call me from the high school wondering wher i am and why the hell i would go to the high school. so after we got it clarified that i was not there, they picked me up and we headed downtown again! we went to a couple awesome bars and i was denied in one of them...i guess i was swaying back and forth. after that we headed back to darcy's friends' place where i fell fast to sleep (aka passed out ) and while i was sleeping there was a bangin party going on outside and i had no idea...weird! so i woke up to find myself phoneless. i must have lost it downtown...along with my pride...ha ha. i didn't mention that i was trying for an hour to get on the stage with the band...yeah, retarded.

no phone, so i had to wait to find a ride back to the hotel where i found jade sick as a dog.....and she would not be recovered until like 6 o'clock, so i walked around the booths with darcy and found the kids and hubby some sweet ass pendleton gear, and then we took off to the rodeo...we got our beers and nursed ourselves back to buzzed again (i'm not an alcoholic b.t.w.) and that rodeo is AMAZING! the stock and the cowboys and girls were awesome! this is a 5 hour rodeo, so ther is alot to see. after that we were standing around and i heard a voice yelling "virginia moon....virginia moon" and it ws those guys...oh lord! they were wasted and telling me that they had been talking about me and the whiskey for 24hours. they were pretty damn comical.

after we got away from them, we went out again and visited all of the same places as the night before...it was a blast!

so that is my weekend...there were plenty more things that happened, but i only told a few!

my kiddos

ok, so before i post about my girls weekend, i am going to give you a little update on my kiddos! i just about pull my hair out every day...but seriusly, it is sooo worth it! kiya and masen has this HUGE love/hate relationship....every day when masen wakes up he yells for kiya until she goes upstairs and graces him with her presence and after that...the screaming begins! they seriously TRY to make each other mad, just so they can do their high pitch, blood curdling screams. once you get over the loss of hearing, it is kinda funny....its like they have scream wars or something. and then when ellie gets home...everything is suddenly peaceful again, it is really weird! who would have ever thought that ellie would be a peace maker? but before i talk about ellie, i will say some positive things about kiya and masen :) kiya is soooo cute and so dainty (when she isn't screaming). her dream is to grow up and be a princess or a unicorn (i tell her that she has a better chance of being a princess). she is also so observant...she will notice if i change my earings, if i am sad, if jake isn't home at the normal time, ect. and she is so sweet about it. she will say "mom, you look really pretty today with those earings in" or "i love those beautiful horse sheets you put on my bed, thank you mom." it is so cute! she also loves to cuddle...she is sitting next to me at the moment with her head rested on my shoulder :) so...that is kiya!

masen man is a pretty big handful! he is full of energy and a huge vocab. for a 2 year old! he says full sentences and they are so clear. he sits in the recliner with jake every night and has a little man to man convo. they talk about football, turkey hunting, elk, deer (mule deer and whitetail;) and whatever else comes up. it is way cute....or should i say bad ass? he always asks me... "mom, we go to the gas station? and get some treats?" and "you work tonight mom?" and to jake he says "dad, we go to the hills, and shoot coyotes?" yeah, he is pretty dang cute...he puts on his own shoes now, and it never fails, he will put them on the wrong feet...everytime! but hey, he's tryin' aint he? ha!

and lets see...ellie has been doing awesome in school. i think she is ready to go full days! she still has her boyfriends, and they are still wooing her with gifts....everyday! jake loves that :) i started crying the other day though...i will tell you why but let me tell you this first.... iam not an ass kisser....there are moms there that practically stalk the teacher....it is kindergarten for shit sake! so obviously i don't see every move that the kids are making at school. and i never got a note sent home saying that the kids were having a play with the puppets that they made. yeah...ellie came home and the first thing she said was "mom...how come you didn't come to my play? i was the letter d. everyone elses parents were there and you weren't and i was crying cause you weren't." if that wouldn't make you cry, i don't know what would. so what should i do...be an ass kisser? for one, i can tell you that i turn that backpack inside out looking for papers now! we will see if i get the next invite. but back to elles....she got her cast off so i am scared to death that she will break it again, but i guess it can't be in a cast forever right? (maybe it can?) welp, that is all i got...i will write my girls weekend post next! lots o' love..cas

the recent happenings

so, it has been a couple weeks since my last post...and sooooo much has gone on! i started work...first of all! that has been a blast! cool hand lukes is the name of the place and i just love it! the theme is way cool, and if you know me, you know that i am a sucker for the western and cowboy theme! i have been making some good money, but it seems to dissapear as soon as i make it! but i guess that is how it goes...esspecially with 3 kids :)
ellie rae just started kindergarten and LOVES it! she acts so grown up and like she knows everything...i have to remind her that she isn't even in first grade yet :) jake is having a hard time with it too....ellie came home the other day with a necklace on. i asked her where she got it... she told me "mike gave it to me mom, he was going to get me flowers too, but he didn't want them to die in his backpack....and he also said he would love to bring me chocolates".....WTF??? seriously..."mike" must have a suave father if he already knows how to woo a girl in KINDERGARTEN!! ha ha...i think it is funny myself, but jake on the other hand is already cleaning his gun... j/k! her cast comes off on monday....and this whole broken arm thing is costing an ARM and a LEG! 15,000 dollars? seriously...i ahould have left the sucker broken...not really. jake told me that if they are going to charge us to have the damn ting cut off, that he was going to do it himself! that scared me and little ellie...so i just told him that they didn't charge :) jake really knows how to go about doing things...ha ha ha!
on to the next thing.....this weekend i am heading off for a girls weekend! it will be soooo much fun! i get to go to the pendelton round up.....YEE HAW! we have a nicew hotel and so much to do i won't even know what to do with myself! jake is soooo good about letting me have my "me" time....i don't know what i would do with out his fine little bootay! the kids have gotten to spend so much more time with him these past couple months...it is sooo important to have the daddy time! he knows how to put the smack down a little bit better than i do :) i come home and the kids have picked up all of their toys, brushed their teeth and have gotten ready for bed! now that's what i'm talkin about!
and l;ast but not least....good bye summer! it went by soooo fast this year....i really didn't get to do all of the things i wanted to, but it was sooo much fun anyways! i "found" myself this summer! ...this is my blog from myspace :

good bye sweet summer
Current mood: melancholy

i am soooo sad to see the summer come to an end. it feels like it was only here for a very short time. i am a little dissapointed that i didn't get to do all of the things that i wanted to do this summer.....but overall it was a great time!

i have kinda found myself this summer. i found that i need to surround myself with the right people and that i don't always need to be around people to be happy. my kids and my husband love me unconditionally and that is really all that matters. i have found that i only have a few good friends...some that are new, and a couple that have been in my life for a while. i figured out who really cares, and who really doesn't. i have learned that i am a beautiful person, in my own way....that one has been the toughest....but i have started to look at myself differently. i can't be like every other person, i am myself...and i am ok with that. my life is wonderful and i have a lot of what many people wish for.

i got my new job, and that has made life a lot easier as well. i can get out of the house for a while and make money talking to people and serving them...not bad ehe? it also gives jake some more alone time with the kids...so they get a little bit of daddy time and daddy rules...ha ha. it is rough not seeing jake as much anymore, but we will get through it and get back to normal in no time :)

anyways...good bye summer...and see you next year! hopefully more good things will be in store!

i will be writing about my girls weekend in the next blog....so long!

my fav pic of the summer :)
