I Should Write A Book!: November 2008

Ok...I know...I'm officially awful at this blogging thing. What it's been almost 3 months since my last blog. I really just need to block off a certain time to do this...but no 2 days are ever the same.

Anyway, I'll make the most of this blog.

Hmmm...where to start?? I guess I wouldn't have this problem if I did this more often. Ok...so I just got home from church..it's 9:30pm!! We are practicing for Dinner Theater from 3pm until...

I must admit..I'm exhausted! I did something to my left leg muscle, AGAIN! It's very sore right now. I should go get in a really HOT bath and see if that helps any??!! Well, practice was long, but good. We still have a long way to go, though. I must say that all be it the same production we did last year...it is SOOO much better this time.

To catch you up from the last posts...

We did go to Mexico!! It was so fun and so many memories were made. Like on our flight...Jude and I were sitting next to a woman who only spoke Spanish, but yet she would still try to talk to us...as if , if she said it enough times we would understand what she was saying!!?? Jude just colored her some pictures and asked her how to spell some things in Spanish. He didn't really get frustrated with the language barrier...whereas Olivia...my non-stop communicator ("jabberbox") struggled. She kept asking me to help her speak in Spanish...which probably won't get her much farther than hand motions!! We went to church with Derrick and Val. The women leaders were in charge of the service. Val took up the offering...she had to do it in Spanish, and she did an AWESOME job!! Not only are red-headed people loved there...they also were all drawn to Sophia..so we titled her our "International Cutie". We had a BlAsT!! We can't wait to go back...hopefully in June 2009:)

Last year I was a "Trophy Wife"....this year an 80's Girl!! It was funny to have the guys who were in high school then come up to me and LOVE my hair...I thought.."Ick" this was suppose to be a JOKE..not a "turn on"!!

Gabby Godfrey and Me...80's, Baby!!!

From Left to Right:

Hannah Godfrey as Gabriella from HSM, Jude as Buzz Lightyear, Elijah as a Curious George, Sophia as a monkey, Olivia the Veterinarian of all these animals, Elissa as a Poodle.

Well, we went and cut down our own Christmas tree. I must admit though, only the lights have made it onto the tree...no decorations YET!! Hopefully tomorrow:) The kids have had so much fun decorating this year...Last year they tended to be more in the way! Elijah says, "Big, big tree!!!" every time he sees it! Elissa wasn't very fond of it at first...especially when a little piece of the branch hung over the side of the car and was touching her window! Yeah, she started crying HisTaricalLy!! Oh...another funny thing involving the tree...As Keith is heaving to get the tree on to the top of the Suburban, Sophia (she always has something crazy to say) yells, "Look the car has HAIR! NO LOOK...it's a MOHAWK!!" Keith almost wore the tree on his head:)
