" I THEE RED"

SO WE DID IT! WE ARE MARRIED, AND WE DID IT AT MI AMIGOS!!

So we have gotten lots of grief about it but it's kind of a fun story...I feel fat and sick and wanted nothing to do with a "wedding dress" or even a nice out fit so we opted for khaki pants and a nice shirt for the both of us, and we were still dressed up for the occasion! Thats how we roll, CHILL STYLE! It was just family which made for a bigger occasion than we wanted, but it was a good time! Tom Freestone a good friend of the Crosby family came to dinner and married us even though we just wanted to sign papers and celebrate, tom had us exchange rings and vows, um a lil weird yes, but we did have the banquet room all to our selves and he did a great job! A BIG THANKS TO TOM!

(and dad for suggesting him) AND A HUGE THANKS TO MY OLD MAN FOR PICKING UP THE TAB FOR MY REDO WEDDING DINNER! YOUR THE BEST!

Faith, Rachel, Corrine & Karen got dessert made last min. Justin's FAVE strawberry shortcake and Cheese cake! It was good stuff! THANKS GUYS (insert picture here i know faith took some of it but i don't have em)

rachel don't hate it was the only pic I or You had so it works!!!!

and my MOM took me shopping for the OUTFITS which she was a complete life savor I was about to go in sweats, but she wouldn't have it! which i thank her now the pics just wouldn't of been the same! And the time we spent together was worth it! I HAD A GREAT TIME SHOPPING WITH YOU! THANKS MOM!

thanks for sharing the love joe! ; )

and Mara watched paris for the couple hours we went shopping so we were assured an outfit for the night! THANKS MARA and i do have to say a super big THANKS for my grandparents for coming, I WAS REALLY GLAD TO HAVE YOU TWO THERE! LUVS...

and to ALL the DEWITT family for coming just about everyone was there and it just wouldn't of been the party it was with out you guys! no really you were the mass numbers! SO THANKS what a great time we ate, we married, we laughed (some cried) over all what a great time i think we all had! ITS GOOD TO BE A FAMILY AGAIN!!!!

OH and for the head line, anyone who has known me long enough knows i used to have problem with my R's when i was young they were W's and well when i am nervous sometimes the past comes back to haunt me, so yep that was what i said in the middle of the ceremony! It made for a good laugh! THANKS FOR EVERY ONES SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT! LOVE YOU ALL!

TO GREAT FRIENDS

I feel like i have been in such a rut over the past year, and it's nice that things (although still very complicated) are getting better! Not only am i greatful for my FAMILY, they have been so great to be around more! But this entry is about the GREAT FRIENDS i have around me! I like to be around good, sincere friends. i don't care much to be in a room full of acquaintances! I may not hang out with them much or really ever at all anymore, but i feel they are the kind that matter! My circle of friends is small but they have all been so good to me! FRIENDS WHO PICK UP MY KID FOR SCHOOL AND BRING HER HOME FOR NOTHING IN RETURN! Friends who believe in me and the goals I am trying to reach, those who stood up for me when a situation at work went bad! (THANK YOU!) FRIENDS WHO ARE AS STRONG WILLED AS I AM TO PARTNER UP WITH ME! Friends who once thought i wasn't the nicest person on earth at one point, to now give me another chance! and to the friends who are like family, I find myself truly blessed and greatful! SO HERE IS A GREAT BIG HEART FELT THANK YOU!

SO J TOOK ME TO THE BATTING CAGES TO SEE IF I CAN EVEN MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BALL, IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I SWUNG A BAT AND EVEN THEN I WAS NO GOOD! HERE IS J SHOWING ME HOW IT IS DONE!



THEN THE MOMENT OF TRUTH. HOW BAD IS MY HUSBAND GOING TO HATE PLAYING SOFTBALL WITH ME!?! (he was so embarrassed i wore my long sweater while batting) I WAS COLD!



So i took it off so i wouldn't embarrass him in front of the 14 year olds working there! ;)
Well I didn't do so bad, i missed probably 4 or 5 out of 35 balls! I suprised myself but now we have to see what i can do when the balls aren't always pitched straight!

"I'LL MISS MOMMA BUT I WON'T CRY" -jonah

So Faith decided to go to Colorado to see if it could be her new choice of residence! She met her hubby there and left her two boys with me! I volunteered and actually was quite excited to do it. the night before faith was leaving she invited us over for dinner and both boys were SICK! Jonah had pink eye but was on antibiotic and eye drops so he wouldn't share the fun with paris. And Ike was just a sad boy from teething and running a fever! But sure enough the next day "mommy" is off to leave the mess (literally) behind and have a great couple days, that were truly needed with her hubby!

First night! Paris and Jonah slept on the mats upstairs J slept on the couch and Ikey and I did the "steam roller" ALL night long! I don't think he slept longer than a half hour at a time! what a long night! in the morning i took his temp it was 103.5 he was burning up! but after a little kiddie drug he was up and running with the rest of them!



CHEESE!

I had this brilliant idea since it was a rainy day and the kids couldn't really go out side i thought i would make them rest in the car as they are all strapped in watching a movie J and I would run errands. STARTED off great....

OH SO NOT FUN after an hour or so! So we bomb barded rachels house with lots of kids.
For the most part all had fun

but ikey again poor sad miserable baby really just wanted to be at his own house, nice and comfy surroundings.

We ended up staying WAY longer than planned we all fell asleep. (so nice BTW) So after raiding Taylor's fund raising chocolate bars we loaded up and headed back into queen creek! The only thing to keep the kids quiet for a moment was, yep the chocolate and oh did Ikey enjoy it! He put the square into the palm of his hand, squeezed it till it oozed out the cracks of his fingers and then licked it! As I am laughing and trying to tell him not to do that he gets mad and slaps his own face with his chocolate covered hands! J wasn't thrilled but i sure enjoyed the moment!

then paris had fun pretending she was mommy and helped clean his face.



OH WHAT A DAY! We got home and got ready for bed all the kids were overly tired, so off to bed! Paris always needing to cuddle!

The night was better ikey slept atlest 2 hours at a time...

The next morning we all got up got ready and headed to grandpa guapo's and grandma karen's! Thanks for letting us come hang out most the day till the PARENTS RETURNED! Ikey was asleep when faith and joe got there and jonah was eating (totally can't interupt that!) is wasn't quite the home coming faith dreamed of but both boys were sure glad to have them home!
