January 2012: VERY BUSY!! Started the year off sick..but with a lot to do. Get Christmas down and put away (check) Hayden back to school and normal routine (check) Scott got a new job (left Lincoln for Mercedes-Benz) Starts Monday 1-16-12, 1-16-12 was also my Grandmother Jauncey's birthday...Happy Birthday Jauncey I love you and miss you every day. I am hosting my High School Alumni Family Bingo night. (1-21-12) then Hayden's birthday 1-26-12 OMG HE WILL BE 6!!! So 2012 has been a busy busy year and its only been 15 days of 2012!!

Snow 2011

So we have all been dealing with the snow in Oklahoma. This has been CRAZY cold weather. Well Hayden sure has enjoyed the weather. He was out of school for a total of 3 days in a weeks time. Tuesday/Wednesday February 1/2 and then again Wednesday February 9th. Even thought it was snowing we still made it to my nephew Zeke's 6th birthday last Saturday. I can not believe they are now 5 and 6. Man time flys buy. Here are a few pictures of Hayden and the snow of 2011.

Now since we live in Oklahoma and we hardly get enough snow to send kids out to play. We have no snow clothes. I bundled Hayden up in 5 layers of shirts, pants, socks and boots. He could hardly move but had such a great time and that is all that matters.

HAPPY 5TH BRITHDAY HAYDEN!!

So tomorrow January 26th 2011 will mark 5 years since God blessed me with a beautiful baby boy. I could not have asked for a better blessing. So tonight I was in bed with Hayden and told him that 5 years ago tonight I ate a HUGE meal of mexican food (guess thats why he likes it so much) and thinking of what I was going to have. A boy? A girl? Well ok so ill admit it now I knew it was a boy!!! I did not find out but when the lady doing the ultrasounds kept calling it a boy I just knew. So hope that she might be wrong and I had a girl but no I had a boy. To tell you the truth I am so glad I had a boy first. They are a bit easier and can go outside and play in the dirt, climb trees etc and not have to do it with them. But anyways. It has been 5 years since Hayden was born and all I can say is that I have a handsome little man on my hands. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN! WE LOVE YOU!

New Adventure

So I am starting my own company. Something I have talking about for a while. But I am going to push it this year and hope that it is where I want it to be by December 31, 2011. So please check out my other blog www.thecollagegroup.blogspot.com This company is something that I have a passion for. From any kind of Even planning to scrapbooks. Please pass along my information to anyone you know. Word of mouth is the way to start and I hope that everyone will help me out.

Thanks :)

It's 2011

So I have not updated in a LONG time. So here is what is going on so far. We had a wonderful Christmas and I got the best Christmas gift ever...Home based business for dummies...yes that is right. Scott got it for me and told me to shut up and do something about it. So I am reading away and trying to do what I can to get The Collage Group up and running. So if you know anyone who needs any party, wedding, baby shower, wedding shower or scrapbooks let me know. I will post when I get the blog for it up and running.

Hayden got a bike from Santa and was so excited. Since I was not working I had been buying small gifts since September so Hayden had a TONE of gifts this year and I wrapped everything. Kids love to unwrap gifts...so I thought Hayden said he was getting tired and did not want to open any more gifts. I think that was a first. Well when you have 13 gifts from Santa and 22 under the tree I think I would get tired too. We made it and enjoyed spending time with the family.

It is now January 10, 2011 and this marks 3 years since Shawn has seen Hayden and since we settled out of court. This is a wonderful day. This time has been wonderful and thought I wish at times things were different I am truly blessed. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would find a man as wonderful as Scott. He had been the best friend and partner I could ever ask for. He is an outstanding father to Hayden and I am blessed for that as well. With this being the 3 year mark will help things when it comes time for Scott to adopt Hayden. Which he wants to after we are married.

Hayden's 5th birthday is in two weeks.. WOW where has the time gone. I can not believe my little baby will be 5. When I was talking to him on New Years Eve that he would have 26 days until his birthday he got so excited. He said mom I'm 4 (holding up 4 fingers) and then on my birthday ill be 5 (letting his thumb out) and says OMG mom I will be 5 and that means I get a thumb! I could not help but laugh and what he was meaning.. kids say the darnedest things.

Well I'm off to making his goddie bags for his birthday (yes I have them already) so that is one less thing I have to worry about. I will post more later. Night all.

Uploading more pictures from the last few months.

Super Heroes First game!

Last night was Hayden's first t-ball game. It was a sight to see. They were so cute to watch. All dog piling on the ball and not knowing where to throw it. Mind you they are 3-4 year olds and they are out there to learn to be a team. We lost the game 10-14 but are all still winners. Besides Hayden wondering off the field he did well. He looked so cute in his outfit. Here are a few pictures that Misty took for me last night. Enjoy.

Computer not uploading pictures will do them tonight. Check out the website as well for the Super Heroes. www.superheroestball.blogspot.com

HOLY CRAP!!!

This is a disturbing picture!! I never thought I would get to be this OLD!! Well now to make my before I turn 40 to-do list! OH ouch that hurt to say.

SCARED TO DEATH

Saturday night was the worst night of MY LIFE!! I know that things can happen to anyone but when it happens to you.....you don't forget.

Hayden got a grape stuck in his throat!! OMG could not breath or get it out. Thank the LORD that Scott was still home and had not left yet. I called 911 and Scott went to work on the himlick. I was shaking and could not really think straight. The 911 operator was very calm as I was screaming in his ear to hurry up. (knowing that he can not move the firemen any faster) But still he calmed me down for about 2.5 seconds when Scott finally got the grape out!! I held Hayden who was crying hysterically at this point and I was shaking so badly, I finally lost it!!

The Fire department and EMSA showed up to check Hayden out. He was just fine. Lost some oxygen but nothing server to take him to the hospital. This all happened about 6pm and by 7:15 Hayden was running around Dynamo Gym for a party. He is normal nothing wrong at all.

Now Mom on the other hand I'm still paranoid when he eats, but I just have to breath and relax and know that he is just fine. I thank Scott everyday for doing what he did to save Hayden's life.

That is one thing I DO NOT wish on my worst enemy the feeling that I had and still have. I will be back to normal soon. :)

NEED A SECRETARY!!!

Needed secretary for the sales dept. Computer experience a must. Self Motivated and willing to work in a fast pace environment. Some Sales Experience a plus but not required. Friendly, outgoing, and professional appearance a must. If you are interested please fax resume to 405-947-0315 or email it to carly@biltmoreokc.com

Thank you Lord for Today!!

Today marks 2 years!! I am so thankful for this day. Now just get past my next important date and I will be one HAPPY woman!! God is wonderful and knows what is best for me and my family and I can't thank him enough for what he has given me over the last 2 years.

This should be fun!!

1.) A word that describes me is____________ 2.) If you really know me then you know that I love_________ 3.) But I can't stand_____________.

I WANT TO SCREAM!!!

Why can I not get people to just do what is asked of them??? Why do I have people who are so damn annoying I just want to scream. (SCREAM!!!!!!!!!) feel a bit better but I mean come on people just do your job and leave me the heck alone!!! Especially when I ask you to do something because it's your job to do things for me then just do it and don't get an attitude with me nor go storming off to everyone else that I am asking to much.!!! I am a big girl and can do things by myself and most of the time I do but when I have a secretary isn't it their job to do simple things for me?? YES I WOULD THINK SO....Now I know how John and Gary felt and I AM SO SORRY!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! Well being the Boss has it's good days and bad days.

Now back to work!!

Happy 2010!!

OMG made it thru a blizzard at Christmas and had a wonderful time. Then back to work (mind you something I have not done in 10 years the week of Christmas or New Years) then off for a wonderful New Years. The Benson's are such wonderful people and I could not have asked for a better New Years then this one.

Now 2010 has started and first on my list.... MY SON'S BIRTHDAY INVITES! What is wrong with this picture....oh yes while taking down Christmas I am also getting ready for his 4th Birthday. Mark my words...Next child will not be born a month after Christmas!!! Well not be born October thru February would be ideal to many birthdays, holidays and anniversaries already to add another to the mix.

Have a wonderful 2010!!!

Christmas and Blizzard of 2009

Well I remember 1987 and the last major snow we had. Boy were those that days sledding down the street behind a truck!!! Oh yes we were living on the edge LOL. Well here are some pictures of Hayden over the last week and with Santa.

OKLAHOMA BLIZZARD OF 2009 FROM MY PORCH!!

2009 Review

The time has come to review what 2009 brought to me...

January: Hayden turned 3. Planned a party at Chuck E Cheese and the Ice storm hit so had to cancel. Rescheduled it and the Tornado went thru Chuck E Cheese so his party was at mom and dads and he was happy with that.

February: My sister got married!! Feb was a busy month with Denise Tribbey and Scott's birthday, Valentines day and my sister wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and am very happy that she and Cash are together.

March: OMG I turned 30!!! Went out with friends to cousins and had a wonderful time. Thanks to Cash, Trevor, Cory, Jennifer, Misty, Buddy, Jenny and Emily for celebrating my 30th birthday with me. Scott and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary as well on the 20th. March was a great month for me.

April: Things at work started to not look so good as our contract was up for renewal and we were all getting butterflies that it would not turn out well but still had hope that we would all have jobs come June. Mom and Leigh had birthdays as well. Big news Hayden got glasses. He did a great job adapting to them and was very happy for my big boy. Scott and I were League champs along with Gene and Rick. It was a great year bowling and so glad that Scott said he would join my team. Go TEAM JEGAR!!

May: VACATION..Scott and I went to Port Aransas for a week. It was the best week ever. We so needed a vacation. We played golf, layed on the beach and spent a day at the pool. I can speak for Scott when I say we would go back in a heart beat if we could. Hoping to have Buddy and Jenny come with us next year. May 11th we found out that we lost our Contract with OKCPS. That was the start of a hard months to come.

June: Started cleaning up and packing 10 years worth of information to send back to ARAMARK. June was not a great month knowing that I was going to be unemployed come June 30th.

July: Spent the 4th with the Tribbey's. Now that I am not working I took July to have a garage sale and do some work for my dad. Hayden helped with the garage sale prep and I made mega bucks thanks to my mom. Melanie thank you for your help on Friday and the coffee too. You are such a sweet heart. Mom I could not have pulled it off so well if it were not for you. Thanks to you and your effort. Lonzetta come over on Saturday of the Garage sale to help and we had a blast. I know her grandson got a great gift after she went shopping.

August: Starting to freak out because I need to find a job. I had been working temp jobs and that was all well and good but I wanted something permanent. Iapplied at my church and got the receptionist job (not what I wanted) but it was a job and I would take anything at this point. Then Jack Coleman called me and asked about the Dictionaries that I had worked on at OKCPS. We talked and mentioned I was unemployed, Jack asked to see me on August 20th and I started at the Biltmore Hotel on August 25th. So happy to have a job and a higher position then I had, had before.

September: Work was going well just meeting after meeting after meeting after meeting I was going nuts with meetings. Hayden was growing like a weed and talking more and more and more...Such a big boy.

October: Hayden carved his first pumpkin this year. He was so happy to help mommy... he also decorated 6 more that were on display at the house. He went as spiderman this year for Halloween and loved every min of it. We spent Halloween at the Tribbey's house in Oak Tree. Hayden was so cute going up to the houses and asking for candy. So polite as well. Will post pictures soon.

November: Holidays starting. Thanksgiving was held at my parents in the morning for breakfast. Then off to the Tribbey's for dinner. It was a nice fun filled Thanksgiving and a good memorable one.

December: Hayden is sleeping in big boy under ware at night and only 1 accident in the last 3 weeks since we started this. I am so proud of him. He is growing up so fast. I can not believe that he will be 4 in a month...that is crazy before I know it I will be writing another post for 2010. Christmas this year is going to be a wonderful one. We are planning on church at 4 on Dec 24th, My parents at 6 for dinner and then to the Tribbey's for Christmas there. Christmas day mom and dad will come over to our house for Hayden and do gifts and then to their house for the rest. New Years we will be out with Buddy and Jenny again like last year. What a wonderful couple love them to death and look forward to another New Year with them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY READERS.

My Grandmother

Keep my Grandmother in your prayers. She was in the hospital last week with an appendicitis and had surgery. She came home and just got word that she is back in the hospital with phenomena and heart stress. Like my mom said we hope that she does not go "Home" before Christmas. We lost my Grandfather July of 2008 and I know that this year has been hard for her. I hate that she is so far away. I know that she is strong and will overcome this. Please just keep her in your prayers.

To all my OKCPS Girls

Hey girls!!

It was so great to see all of you yesterday. I miss you all. Job is going ok just at times wish you all were here to help me. I know for sure who to call when I get my own company and need employees!!! Robin, Lonzetta, Amanda and Deborah. You all have no idea how much you have touched my life while I was there. Each of you hold a special place in my heart and always will. My life has changed because of you. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for being such wonderful friends to me.

Come see me sometime when you all are off and I will buy you lunch!!!

Christmas/BIG NEWS!!!!

It is Christmas time again!! OMG where has this year gone. Just seems like yesterday we were celebrating my sister wedding and that was at the end of February. Well Hayden is going to have a good Christmas this year. He wants an jet plane that fly with a remote control. That is what he has told all 4 Santa's he has seen this year so he GOT IT. Can't wait to see his reaction on Christmas morning when he sees that Santa got him what he wanted. When Santa would ask if there is anything else we wanted for Christmas he said just my jet and a happy family. OH (tear) I have such a sweet boy.

BIG NEWS!!!!
OH this is the best news ever!!
I am so excited to share with everyone!!
I never thought this day would come!!
I have never been so happy as I am now!!
Can you guess???????

Hayden is out of pull-ups and sleeping in big boy underwear at night and has had 1 accident in over a week. Such a good boy!! I am so happy I can save money now.
When I told Hayden how happy I was and that it means that mommy can save money!! I told Hayden that I was so happy he could buy a toy now that mommy does not have to buy pull-ups anymore his response "mom if you had told me that like long time ago I would have been a big boy already to get toys" NOW WAIT ONE SECOND he is 3 but very smart. I just smiled and said that if mommy had thought about it she would have said it to him a long time ago. SO he got a new PS2 game for being a good boy and sleeping like a big boy!!

Come on Robin you think I would announce what you were thinking on here and not call you!! :) Love you Robin miss you tons too.

Bad Hair/Good Hair

So I went to have may hair done last week....I wanted to be blonde which I was partly already blonde but wanted it all over. I asked my hair dresser to put the blonde in my hair that was already in it. I sat there and thought this is going to look great.... HELL NO!!! SHE BLEACHED MY HAIR!!! I was pissed but then thought it would darken a bit.. what was I thinking. I was so humiliated that I wore a hat all weekend and looked like a trashy stripper with my WHITE hair. Hayden asked me why I had white hair and when I told him that they messed up he said..."you are still beautiful to me mommy" That just made my day.

So it was so bad that I could not go to work yesterday and be seen with this hair. SO I broke down and went to Schardein and company to have it fixed. BROOKE is awesome and did a fantastic job to make me look great. I was so humiliated that I could not look at myself in the mirror all weekend and even yesterday when I was in there getting it done. After she colored it and (cut it off) I was able to look at myself in the mirror again. Thanks Brooke Pickett you are so wonderful and my new hair dresser!!! Will save the money now to go see Brooke....:)
