I can't wait to become an Aunt again!!!

Okay as I said in previous posts my sister in law Charlsie is pregnant with her first child. I'm so super excited about becoming an Aunt again!!
So, I thought I would post some pics of her and her growing belly!


Charlise having some cake. Her Hubby(Mike's younger Brother) Casey is seen in the background.

Finally got her to put down the cake and stand long enough for me to get a kinda nice pic of her, but she was too busy giving Steve a dirty look! lol

Charlsie and Uncle Steve. This Picture was too funny not to post!
Okay they were having a competition to see who had the bigger belly! lol
I think Steve has a few more months and a few more beers to go to try and catch up!!
So, April 16th we are looking forward to finally meeting and welcoming Addison Sage Hawk to the clan! And I can't wait!!!

Tracy dyed her hair too!!

Okay so it was that time of the month(and no not THAT time) time to get rid of my gray hairs!! Which I seem to have a lot more of now!
I change up the color quite a bit. It's been black, blonde, brown, purple, highlighted, lowlighted, and many many shades of red. This time I decided to go with a nice burgundy color(more cause it covers the grays better!! lol)



Me with the stinky dye on my hair ha ha!

Me, after I washed and dried my hair.
It's actually a lot brighter then this. The florescent(is that how you spell it???) lighting in my closet kind of dulls the color.

Yes, I'm in my closet and in my jammies :P

A small bit of what I cut off. This was more that needed to be trimmed once my hair was all calmed down lol
Next time I'm out in the sun I will take a better picture of the color.

Tracy's New hair cut....

Today I woke up and thought UGH my hair is getting a bit wild again! So, out comes my scissors(Yes I always cut my own hair ha ha)
and here is how it turned out.


Very hard to see it in this picture since it's dark in my dungeon. But it seems to frame my face nicely!

I should of took before and after pictures but I totally forgot!! Anyways before this my hair poofed out to about a foot on each side, and that is no joke!
So now I've tamed my beast of a mop and it already feels lighter and looks lots better!!

Ziggy

Just cause I thought this was funny! Ziggy was sitting on my knee just wanting some attention..

Ziggy sitting looking all pretty when all the sudden....

ACHOOOOOOOOOO.....
I caught her in mid sneeze

ha ha I thought it was funny! Had to hold her down or she would of went flying off my lap!! lol

Brrrrrr It sure has been cold!

Okay, so down here in Tennessee we NEVER get any snow. So, to our surprise the other we woke up with a nice sprinkling of it. Now it wasn't enough to make me all giddy considering I love LOTS of snow. But it was better then nothing!



As you can tell we don't even bring in our outside furniture cause we never get any snow.

This was at 8am, I should of came back an hour later cause there was a ton more snow but I fell back asleep! lol

I wish someone would send me a ton more snow!!!

Uncle Steve's dog, Reba, was really enjoying the snow! All the other dogs wouldn't go out in it! And be with no snow suit type items I headed back indoors and back to my warm bed! lol

Just well you know .. just an entry..

Okay so nothing much has been going on here lately. First week of the new year is the same as any week... Michael back at work, Me back to my housewife duties(ya like that ever stops! lol), the decorations and Holidays are over. Now back to normal and that means boring all week long and counting down the days to the weekends.



Mmm Smarties!!
Okay for all you non-Canadians Smarties are similar to M&M's but much better! Candy coated little chocolates from heaven! ha ha!
I can't get Smarties down here in Tennessee so I have to get my Mother to send me some. Along with Coffee Crisps, Aero bars, Ketchup and All Dressed Chips, and a lot of other stuff I miss from home!
I usually get 2 'Care Packages'(as my Mom calls them) a year. One for Christmas and one when they come down for a visit in the summer. Now the countdown begins for summer to get my next round of goodies!

When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly? Or crunch them very fast? Eat that candy-coated chocolate, But tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last?

The Smarties jingle! I can remember it from when I was a little kid and still sing it all the time lol Ahhh nice sweet childhood memories! Oh to be a kid again....

Okay.. boring blog, I know! But I have nothing else to blog about right now lol
Til next time...

New Years Eve

New Years Eve!
Poor Michael got stuck working till 11pm and by the time he got home he only had 40 minutes to catch up to us alcoholics! lol
We just normally have a small get together with family and a few friends. This year it was Mike and myself, Sammy, Ashley, Nanny, Uncle Ted and Marcia, Steve and Kim, Jason(cousin) and Brittany(his girlfriend), and our friends Jessica and Brian.



Jason, Brittany and Marcia.
It's always a BYOB party. Except Marcia always brings her homemade Jello Shooters!!
Sooo yummy! The Mello Yello box is full of the little shots of yummy-ness!
You can see mine and Marcia's next shots sitting on the table!!

Kimmy has been under the weather and chose to just have one drink and a few shooters. Hope she is feeling better soon!! I miss my drinking buddy!!!

Stevie having a few laughs at people sucking 'em down!!

Sammy was pretty much toasted at this point!

Michael still sober since he just got home from work! Poor guy!

Crazy Steve!! With Jello tinted tongue!!

Looks like deep conversation(I was too buzzed to remember what was going on!! lol)

Nanny the party animal!! Next year she says we all need to come in our PJs and get drunk!! lol

Brittany almost drunk!! ha ha

Okay so I didn't get any more pictures cause my phone kept ringing and I was drinking way too much to keep up!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful New Years! And I wish you all the best in 2009!!

(I had to stay up and sober up so I figured I would update this the best I could!! lol)

Hunter's first Christmas..

Hunter is Kim and Steve's Grandson and our buddy! He is 6 months old and it's his first Christmas!



Hunter was so excited and didn't know what to do with all these pretty colored paper!!
Spongebob paper with a Winnie the pooh music table inside!!

Hunter getting fussy cause there was no more paper to crumple!

Pawpa Steve and Hunter.

Hunter and his blueberry candycane!
So the doctor said it was ok to start giving Hunter 'people food'. And the first thing we did was give him a candy cane off my tree. What a mess! But oh so cute!

Look at that face! Isn't he a cutie?? He is such a happy baby!

Michael And Hunter.
Hunter loves it when Mike bounces him, can ya tell?!?

Christmas Day with the Family...

Christmas with the Fam. With such a huge family it's hard to buy gifts for everyone so instead of doing a 'Secret Santa' we do a $5 gift exchange. Everyone brings a $5 gift and wraps it. Then we draw numbers and you get to pick one in order. But if you see a gift that someone unwrapped you can 'steal' that gift and make the person you took it from choose a new gift to unwrap.
It's so much fun! I first got a Japanese fountain which Charlsie stole. Then I got a set of bowls which Aunt Donna stole. I finally ended up with a Bath and Body Wallflowers plug in air freshener thing.

Aunt Marcia, Paige, Nanny, Aunt Donna and Ashley. Look at how happy Donna is that she stole my bowls!!! lol

Kimmy and her Daughter Krystal

Kim got a fleece throw. No one stole hers cause she ran away with it! lol

Nanny picking out her gift. I don't remember what she got.

My Sister in Law Charlsie.
Charlsie is about 5 months pregnant! I'm gonna be an aunt again!! She will be having a girl around April 17th! We are sooo excited!!
But she looks totalled bored here! lol

My Father-in-law and Mother-in-law having a laugh at all the stealing! lol

Steve picking out his gift.

Sammy getting hers, which was stole a few times. She ended up with a Vanilla reed defuser air freshener. lol

All in all it was a great day! Lots of cheer, food, gifts and laughs! Now the coutdown begins for next year!!

Christmas Morning Mess...

All our gifts to each other(and Mike's dirty shoes ha ha)!
This was before our madness of unwrapping!

This is afterwards! Minus the paper. Not a bad loot for just the two of us!
We got PJs, Pants, Shirts, Sweaters, Slippers, Undies, DVDs and so much more..

This is the mess of our stocking stuffers! lol

Yay! Mike got me a new cordless drill! Now I don't have to borrow my Father-in-laws anymore!!

Even Ziggy got into the spirit of the wrapping paper and kept jumping in and out of it! She is so evil yet so cute!

That's all the pictures and stuff I got of me and Mike's Christmas Morning. I was too tired to even think about Pictures till after it was done! lol

Christmas Eve..

Okay so I'm about a week late in posting this but better late then never!


♫♪♫
Christmas Eve is always spent with Mike's Dads side of the family. Usually we go to his Grandma Gonav's house but this year we all went to my Mother-in-laws instead. We exchange gifts, eat food and just laze around for a bit.



The tree!!
Okay since they have just moved into this house this past summer and are doing some renovations they didn't put up many decorations. But of course there was a huge tree! You can't see it too good in this picture but she used one of those huge snowflakes that I made for her tree topper since she lost or couldn't find hers. The blurry back is my Father-in-law, Mike(yes he is a Mike too) and the blurry guy in white is Mike's Brother, Casey.

Gonav, Kelly and Luther.

Gonav is my Father-in-law's Mother, Luther is her Husband and Kelly is their Grand Daughter who is 7 months pregnant with her first! The blonde barely seen in the left corner is my dear Mother-in-law, Linda.

My Mother in Law, Linda.
Linda always goes out of her way on Christmas with gifts for her kids. What a shock I got when they delivered our gift.....


A brand new Mattress for our Bed!!!! No more sore backs! YAY!! Also she got us some clothes and some brand new Tommy Hilfiger pillows! And yes I sleep a LOT better at night!! lol

Mike annoyed!
Just thought I would throw this pic in cause it's funny! All he wanted to do was go home at this point! lol
