Core'dinations Projects

Just a quick post today sharing some of my Core'dinations projects!! I just love this darn cardstock, so cool with all the possibilities!!

You can see that I have become fast friends with my Cuttlebug and the Coredinations cardstock... they are a perfect match!!!

I have been on a serious computer journaling kick lately and usually I am handwritten all the way! I'm loving it though. I am really trying to concentrate more on the journaling and getting better at it, rather than the wham, bam, here's your journaling ma'am style I tend to lean towards! LOL

Also, please keep my cousins little boy in your thoughts. He has a heart defect and has many surgeries since he was born. He went again this week for a scheduled surgery and
is struggling in recovery. Please keep Brayden in your prayers and his mom, my cousin Tara and her dh Aaron. Thank you!

Quick Catch Up...

I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off lately it seems but here's a quick rundown...

This sweet little thing came into our lives about 2 weeks before school started. My oldest daughter has been wanting a kitten for the longest time and dh just didn't want any part of it. Well... I figure since I am out here and dh is in Tucson right now that we'd get a kitten!! You see I justified it with it will help control the mice out here in the country ;)
Anywho.. isn't she the cutest ever! The kids named her Oreo.

We are in love.

In other news Matthew had hand surgery last Wednesday. I swear we don't have just 'normal' injuries around here, when we do shit we go all the way! LOL

He fell up at the school the Thursday before the first day. He came up with blood all over, so we go into the ER. The clean all kinds of glass and grass out of it, the dr decided not to stitch it up and says it will heal in about a week and to keep it wrapped. So we follow up with our regular dr. in a week and she wants us to see a plastic surgeon. Well good gracious he wants to do surgery. It was a large skin flap that was just not healing and scar tissue was building up underneath. So surgery was done (he was put fully under) and all is better now... we go in about a week and get all the stitches taken out.

Here's a pic of the little trooper with his hand all wrapped up.

Besides all that it seems all we are doing is coming home from school, doing homework, running to football practice/games, and baths, reading and bed... then getting up and starting all over again.

Peace out homeys! (hehe)

Then there this:

My sweet friend Heather sent me the last book in the Twilight series and I haven't been able to put it down. I am just about done, racing Linda!! ;)
When I start a book you see, I have this problem putting it down... I just feel like if I can finish it I can go on about my day, but then once I'm finished I feel a let down that it's over. Strange I know. :)

I'll update tonight... Matthew has surgery tomorrow for his little hand! :(

I've been tagged....

Well I've been tagged before but never taken the time to do anything about it... today though I am gonna take that tag!!! (hehe... )
I was tagged by the lovely Linda, my late night scrap buddy and then again by my sidekick troublemaker Kimber.

I am going to buck the system a bit because I have no idea who on earth I would tag! lol... so YOU... whoever is reading this.. I LOVE YOUR BLOG and you are tagged! ha!

Do not adjust your screens....

Yes I am posting!



Things are beginning to settle down in the Moreno house.



well as settled as they can be doing the 'single mom' thing with five kids!



The whole herd started school last week. While it's nice to have a quiet house and be able to get work done during the day instead of burning the midnight oil... on the other hand the evil alarm clock is back in charge of my wake up time and it seems like there is no time with the kids to just hang out anymore!

Here is a shot of them on their first day of a NEW school!



So far so good this living in a small town stuff! Actually I am loving it!
Morgan who just did not want to play football when we got here. (he has never played organized before). I kept telling him that in a small town in Texas he may really want to play, that all his friends would be playing and he should at least give it a shot... if he didn't like it he didn't have to play but to at least give it a shot! no, no, no... is all he said.



Well...

His first day of school in his first class of Athletics he was down in front of the elementary school (where they have practice), I notice the coach with his arm around Morgan, patting his back, talking to him.
Well I walk over there and I hear:

"well son, you should really play football"
"football is what you need son, if you are an athlete we could really use you out on the field"
"these are the boys you want to hang out with, so you wanna play football?"


and lo and behold...
Morgan is playing football.
and loving it!!!

Pretty soon the other 2 boys want to play too, this should end up being a busy season for momma!
And as nervous I am about having my babies knocked around by others I'm excited that they are excited about playing.

SO...
We go to the first small town football game... and only 9th and JV to boot.
The entire parking lot is full of trucks, parking out on the street even.
As soon as we show up a small group of girls call Madison over so off she goes around the stands with them.
Mitchell takes off to play a game of pick up football at the end of the field.
Morgan is up with his teammates before they call them all down to announce all the coaches and teams.
I stayed up in the stands and talked with other parents while the twins hung out with me.

Everyone was in black and red.
The whole town was decorated in black and red.
Such school spirit... I think living here is going to be a lot of fun!



Now that the kids are back in school, I am really hoping to be able to do this blog thing better!
Go me! :)
