Mint gum

Well, no one reads this, but I just feel like writing...that I had the most amazingly awsomest gum today! My friend Brandi bought it for me - I had shown her the gum when we were shopping last...and she gave it to me today. Mint Chocolate Chip Gum. MMMMm doesnt' that sound good? It smelled like ice cream. It was mint green in color. And....mmmm once you started chewing, you literally think you are having mint chocolate chip ice cream! It tastes just like the real thing. WOW and it's even Sugar Free!

I need to email them adn ask that they make REeces Peanut Butter Cup gum. Mmmmm

14th birthday party 2009

Pie making for 4-H 2010

Tristan is growing up so fast. That's why I haven't been on here! He's 15, a Freshman in high school and is busy in Football, 4-H and Upward Bound...oh, and Bowling! Yep, 4 things....

So, I will try to post some pics or something...

Thanksgiving

Wow - where has the time gone? It's Thanksgiving and I'm writing this while in my pajamas at home. We aren't going anywhere - just staying home. We will be cooking a turkey, having mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables and the oh-so-yummy Pumpkin Pie. YUM!

Let's see - this past month Tristan got a 300 series at bowling. I told him at the beginning - 'get over 100 each game' and he actually did it! It was awesome!!

His grades were good - he got on the B honor roll! Choir & Gym were A's and the rest were B's.

My camera is still broken, so I'm bummed I can't add pictures here. But - we'll get it fixed someday soon!!

Have a happy thanksgiving to everyone!!
Missy & Tristan

Halloween Party!

I don't have an photos to go with this post, but we're having a Halloween Party tomorrow! Woo Hoo! Tristan is inviting his friend Ben, and we have Bonny and her 2 kids and Sarah and her 2 kids coming. 3 adults and 6 kids. WOW!

A fun time is all planned including pizza-shaped Pizzas, lots of other food, dips, snacks and orange punch. Halloween Bingo, Scavenger hunt in the dark and a Spooky story with all the gory inside parts to go with the story for them to touch. We also might fit in some swimming, board games and of course, lots of laughter and fun!

Have yourself a Happy Halloween!!!

Tristan, me and Teresa at Sea World.
We went on a 'Sea Screamer' which is a REALLY Fast speedboat in which they get Dolphins to jump in the waves it made. As you can see by my pony tail - we were going FAST!

Ok - I know these are a year old, but these are some pictures from our Florida vacation last year. Tristan and I went with my best friend Sarah, her two girls Annika and Elissa and my niece Teresa.
