Well we are getting closer to the date of moving. Crazy, times flies. I am getting excited to be in VA just to get my husband back. He flies to TX on Thursday and we leave for Vegas Friday morning. We will stay there until Dec. 1 and he will go back to VA and the girls and I will return to TX for 5 days and then VA is our new home for who knows how long. I have posted a map onto my blog to all the places we have lived or have been to and it is not 1/2 full yet but to me it feels like it. I am excited to be close to Maine though. I hear that it is beautiful there. I think Derrick and I will be going there soon. Just the 2 of us and get a little get away for some sea food and for us. We love traveling. So today after church the girls and I went to down town Frisco. It is not all that but it was cute in some ways. I took some pictures of the girls at some places but to get the picture of what I wanted did not turn out so well. My kids are lost in the photos we will say.

I forgot to let everyone know that Rylee is finally crawling!! It is mostly my fault since she is the last baby, I did not want her to grow up real fast, so no tummy time for her. Well my wonderful husband came home for Halloween and she started crawling at Ashlee's soccer game. Now he thinks it was all because he was home and she was waiting for him. Men, take all the credit! It has been almost a week now and she is room to room now. We think she will be walking by the end of the year. 81/2 months to crawl and the maybe at 10 months she will be walking. AH AH AH!!!

Talk about not with it lately. It has been forever since I have been on here. I remembered when I was walking this morning and this crazy thing happened and I had to tell someone. My husband is working in VA and I could not tell him and in Vegas it is only 5 in the morning there so I could not call. Holy is not home because she is with her hubby in New Mexico so I need to tell everyone now since I thought blog, I need to tell all of you. So I was walking my girls to school and I was walking all the way around my neighborhood .Getting to a street where it was not a four way stop but just a 2 way stop sign. the people going from east to west did not have to stop and the north to south did. so I stopped walking so these cars could go and a guy started to go which he was going west and did not have to stop, decided to slow down at tell me that I could walk across the street and I told him to go ahead. The there were 2 cars going south and the first car got rear ended by the car behind her. The first car got out ant told the car the hit her that I was going because that car was talking to the girl which was me. It was a brief second and he did not make a full stop he was going. So I just kept walking and not worrying about the lady's that where getting info from each other. I was up a block and I hear this old lady yelling out her window saying" My dear friend I want you to know that that was not a fender bender, if that person did not talk to you this would not have happened. I told her that she should have stopped and should not been in such a hurry to go and it would not have happened. She said that You should not have talked to that person and you would not have cause this to happen. I hope this is not confusing but all together I got blamed for a fender bender that I did nothing and got accused. What a start to the day.

Today was an exciting day for the girls. We had a street party. The city of Frisco puts on street parties so you get to know your neighbors just in case there is an unexpected guess. Well anyways the girls got to decorate their bikes and we had dinner with the people that live on our street. We had a lot of fun.

Well it has been 3 days since I have not had my wondeful husband home, He lives in VA until we go out there in Dec. I know that he checks this sometimes but I want him to know what a wonderful, caring ,thoughtful, loving husband he is. I love him so very much. He is a very hard working man. Provides very well for our family. We(the girls and I) are missing him very much. We love you Derrick.

Ashlee has broken her left thumb. Not that it helps that she is a lefty!!! Ok how to start this story.... On Oct. 2 I get a call from Aubree from school" Mom can Victoria come over and play"? I say homework is done first then you have to help me clean then that will be ok. Homework is finished and I tell all the girls including Victoria that we need to clean so we can have the realtors take pictures of the house. I saw that Aubree was cleaning and Sydnee was cleaning but where is Ashlee and victoria? I yell at them down stairs and told them to help clean or Victoria will have to go home. My thought was ok they heard me and they will listen and so I went to my closet and started going through things. All of the sudden Ashlee comes upsatirs and told me that her thumb hurt. I asked what did you do? she says,me and Victoria were playing a game and she rolled over my hand and hurt my thumb. It was swollen!! I wish I had the picture on my regular camera but her thumb look like a little sausage. I told her to ice it and we will see what it looks like in the morning. Well morning comes and I thought Ashlee is going to be hurting, Nope, she comes down stairs singing I;m not going to school today,I broke my finger. I said that we do not know if it is broken yet. She laughed and said I know. So we make an appointment leave @ 930am to go see the pediatrician after an hour we are sent down stairs to get x rays, 45 minutes later we go back to the pediatrician. She see's the x rays and tells us that it is broken. A fractured bone. Then all dr. are on lunch break now so you need to go to another hospital at 130 to go see an orthopedic. So we grab lunch and head straight over to the other hospital. Get her hand cast and are finally home @ 300 exactly. What an exhausting day!! She will have her cast on for 2 weeks to go back get it re x-rayed then casted again for another 2 weeks and we go to there. No soccer or P.E. for 2 weeks.

Virginia Beach

I am back from Virginia Beach. What a beautiful place. It reminds me a lot of Kentucky, but there is a beach. We found a couple of homes but the one we are more interested in is 10 minutes form the beach. The housing is so different there than here in TX. Our home that is 3400 sqft and would sale around $280,000. There, a house this big would sale at $600,000 or more. So when we get a house it definitely will be a bit smaller due to prices, but that will be ok. We will pay it off quicker and have no house payment, NICE!!!I told Derrick plan on me being a beach bum already. It is beautiful. The fresh air from the ocean. AWWWW!!!! We have already planned our girls will be surfers. Well Ashlee will be a surfer Aubree, sand castles are her forte. We will keep everyone updated on our moving process. We will miss everyone but there is blogging still, Yeah!!!I forgot to tell you guys that the 22 hour drive up there was great. We took Rylee with us and being 7 months old and traveling that long we thought she would be terrible, WRONG!! She was terrific. She only cried when she had a dirty diaper and when she was hungry. Awesome. Then when we were flying home on the 1st, she was happy the whole time. Smiling at everyone, playing, and it helped that we had a whole row to our selves the whole time. We went from Norfolk, VA to Jacksonville, stopped, let people off and people on, then went from there to Tampa, did the same thing, then went to Houston, and then finally to Dallas. We were up at 530 and I am very thankful for a very happy child that flight home. The flight attendants told her that she should stay on all their flights to make them smile all day. Our little Rylee, hope she stays this good her whole life, cross our fingers. Ok I had to let everyone know what a great baby we have. Thanks!!
