ok really fast..... i dont know how to do my pictures where they need to go, but at least i put something up!!!!! So on friday Randy graduated from the fire acadamy it was such a good ceremony! Our family was so happy for him because he has known he wanted to do this for almost 5 yrs and he did it!!! Good job Randy WE LOVE YOU!!!! So cherise i posted these pics for u because i know u wanted to be there but couldnt. After the grad we went to some lobster place w/ the family and ate lunch. They had pool tables so me and darren had to kick randy and bretts A@@. Ok not really, we shot the ball everywhere but in the pockets, but we didnt need to worry because we knew that brett would scratch trying to hit the 8 ball in!!! yep everytime we had all our balls on the table...... brett would scratch. We won everygame but 1 i think!! It was just ike in aunt bettys basement but no scarey ghosts!!!!!


And i put the picture of me and cherise in synchronized swimming up too just because we thought we were the bomb!!!!! Can anyone guess where we are? those were good times!!! i really miss u sister!!!! Cherise we are still the bomb!!!!! We should do a reunion routine!!! ha ha

OK. So kobie finally spent all his money, right down to the last penny. (no he didnt buy himself a pair of pants darren). He was so excited he walked through toys r us w/ cs and saw what he might buy but it was alot more money there then walmart. So i took him to walmart on saturday he bought a rip stick, a dart board and our puppy jordan 3 toys and some snacks. Then he had money left to go to game stop where he bought a guitar hero hat and a game for the wii. So this is the kobie moment....... He played w all of it all day long. took the rip stick to his freinds house and played on it. Came home plyed darts and the game and sweat all in his hat. The next day about 1 pm i look by the front door he wants to take the game back because its not as fun as he thought it would be. then he was cleaning his rip stick and wanted to take it back for a skooter. The stupid dart board was falling off the wall everytime the dart would hit it ( at mock miles and hour). Anyways, he said next yr he was going to have a birthday party. Well, kavin said he already has plans for his 200.00 for his b day. hes going to game stop and buying 200.00 in wii games. That's my boys.
As far as kolton he has been grounded for a week so its pretty boring to say what hes doing. He comes home from school has to do dishes and clean his room. Then sometimes vaccume or take out garbage.... (no were not running a sweat shop at my house) he got some bad grades on his report card not because he tried in school at all because he can do it if he would have stayed off the text messaging during class time. (ya he doesnt have his phone either) he just sits around the house now complaining to us, like we did it! um is this how teenagers are? i want to give them back at 12 then! Aaliha just plays and hangs out w the boys. She is funny she is in the tell on me mode but forgets that she did it too.... she hasnt so much lately i think shes catching on. Her and kavin help around the house with cleaning...(ok maybe i am runnning a sweat shop) o well.... times are hard were in a recession!!!!

Ok so i played around with this thing way too long. really i could never remember my password to my blog so i just gave up, then i had to leave a comment on cherise's page so i had to figure it out!!! so taaaa daaa. I'm baaaaack. i really look at blogs on here all the time cherise, missy, and the duke blog cracks me up all the time. Anyways, i will get pics on here soon i hope, but i must let u know that u can check it out every couple months because i dont do these types of things very often. Now that we have that out of the way.....so yesterday was my son Kobie's birthday. He turned 9! He's funny for almost a year i gave all my kids the choice to have a b day or they can have 200.00 to spend how they want to spend it. All the other kids took the the party. Kobie would always say since feb 08 "when it's my b-day im takin the money. So i thought as time got closer he would change his mind but yesterday sure enough, he put his hand out and said "mom can i have my money now?" it made me a lil sad because i remember always being so excited for my b day party. Now im over it!!!!! No mess to clean up. No loud screaming kids. No cornering mom to have the party continue through the night w a sleepover. awwwww so simple. By the way he did choose olive garden for his b day dinner so we did a family celebration!!!!
