Ok it has been way too long since I did a challenge that I thought I should do 2 today. Glad you all agree.

CHALLENGE 1

                   Kween_of_the_Queens

Topic:  Summer

Details: My Kween would like me to tell you the best part of my summer. She asked that we give details about it also.

SUMMER

I would have to say the best parts of this summer were simple. We bought a swimming pool and put it up in the backyard. The hubby, kids and I spent lots of time out there. We most definetly got more than our moneys worth out of that investment. WOO HOO US!

Then my hubby finally got an increase in his VA disability. We have been waiting on this for a long time now.

And last but not least.... I GOT ME A NEW(er) CAR.

2. Jolene by Dolly Parton:....Leave it to my mom to pick this for my middle name.

3. Bright Eyes by Simon & Garfunkle:.... The only memory I have of my father was when I was 3 before he walked out on us. He used to call me bright eyes

4. I Cross My Heart by George Strait:....I sang this song to my hubby on our wedding morning and continue to sing it to him even now.

5. Here Comes The Rain by The Eurythmics:....My mom loves this song and whenever we go out she makes me sing it for her.

6.Saved Me by Kenny Chessney:....My best friend used to tell me when he thought he was loosing control I would save him from doing something distructive. (I miss you)

7. Chantilly Lace BY The Big Bopper:....My hubby sings this to me all the time. Yes I wear my hair in a ponytail 99% of the time.

8. I Got You (Babe) by Sonny and Cher:....This song is me and hubby all over. We sing this together whenever we get a chance.

And that my friends brings me to the end of my challenges. I hope you enjoyed them.

Hello my friends. I truly have missed you all but have been keeping up with you through my digest. So let's catch you up on us.

 Life has been HELL!  Falcin got arrested. To start things off.  He broke into a high school with his step-brother and stole a laptop and a few other things. Thankfully this is his 1st offense(and better be his last). So we had 3 months of going to court to see what was going to happen. He got lucky, and received 6 months probation. He also has to pay restitution for the theft. They are testing him often for drugs, as am I here at home. His attitude has grown a million times larger to the point he is yelling and screaming at me almost weekly. He has tried smoking but got busted. He had a great girlfriend but he got mad and called her a B****. She is no longer speaking to either of us. So we are having a pretty rough time right now.

 Khrystiel is trying so hard to show that she is nothing like him that she is pushing herself way too hard. I feel sorry for her having to put up with his mood swings because all she wants to do around him is cry. Especially after she sees the way he is hurting himself and the rest of us by his actions.

Ambyr is doing fine. Most of the time she seems oblivious to everything going on except herself singing nonstop.

Joey is getting so big. He is almost completely potty trained now. Only has accidents at night for the most part. He just got a puppy, a lab-chow mix. He is adorable.

Rick is doing well in school. He just got his VA disability raised and is happy about it.

I am just trying to take things as they come one day at a time while keeping what sanity I still possess.

I will try to get some pics up here soon, as I know you all wanna see how much my fat headed children have grown.

I miss you all and hope to visit you later today or this weekend. Take care and think of me.  LOVE YOU, TAMI

Still Alive if you were wondering

Hello to you, and you, and you, and you over there. Yes we are all still alive and kicking. I have been extremely busy with the kids. 1 in particular but cant go into that now but soon. (Steve if you see this by chance I could really use your help on something involving your line of work.)

Khrys is doing great. Winning trophies for cheerleading and practicing real hard to get even better.

Ambyr won a trophy for hip hop. We are proud of her as well.

Joey is getting too big and too cute. He needs to slow down for me.

Aaron is doing well. He is still in Texas with his dad though so I miss him greatly.

Cameron is exceeding in school and loving every minute of it.

Heather just graduated high school. I am so proud of you baby girl. Look below for her Senior picture that I took myself.

Falcin has found himself in trouble again, only more serious this time. I still don't know what I'm doing wrong with him.

Hubby is about to start his last year of college. Way to go honey you make me proud to be your wife.

I am still me just busy and over stressed.

Hope you are well, miss you dearly.

With all my love, Tami

 This is Heather. Isn't she beautiful.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL

Tami
