Almost Over!

Well guys, the year is almost over! Hope everyone had a great Christmas...mine was more than interesting!

Christmas Day we got together with JR's family up at his sister Lacy's house...thank you Lacy and Troy by the way...it was really nice. Good food, good fun, great time. We got off to a late start so we ended up staying there longer than we had planned, but honestly I could have stayed longer! I love JR's family...I think I had one glass of wine too many, but I wasn't stumbling or anything, I wasn't even drunk..more like a good buzz! Anyway, I had a lot of fun over there. Afterwards we headed off to my Grandparents house...Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells....

The Luck Family Christmas!

Logan and Davin playing outside!

By the way have I mentioned that at this point I had only had 45 min. of sleep....and only 3 hours the night before? I guess that could be the reason that 3 glasses of wine almost did me in!
Jingle All The Way!

We got to my grandparents house to find that I apparently wasn't the only one that had been drinking that day! My older sister was HAMMERED...stumbling around slurring her words, could barely open her eyes, DRUNK!....Oh yea! My mom was horrified and embarrassed, my dad was his usual, and my little sister and I were just, well embarrassed as well. We did the exchanging of the gifts and that was fun...everyone like my gifts which was nice. Finally it was time to go home...My older sister, and her two kids came back to my house, as well as my mom, my little sister, and her boyfriend! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! HEY!

After getting everyone settled in, I told everyone that I had to get some sleep so I went to bed...my older sister joined me! I woke up to go to work, and to my surprise my sister actually woke up to come with me....no one thought she would make it! "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!"

The next day we headed back up to my grandparents to do the kids Christmas pictures....it was a disaster...granted their ages are 6, 3, and not quite 2, so getting a good picture was probably going to be difficult, but we thought surely with 2 cameras going we could get at least one....we thought wrong..."Jingle All The Way"







My mom hand made the kids outfits, and she was so proud of them. All she wanted was a good picture...it didn't happen, she got so mad she yelled at them...not my kid, but my neice and nephew. I have never seen her yell at them like that before, Randi was across the street and heard it so she came over, her and my mom exchanged words, mom went back to the house...."Oh what fun it is to ride"

I talked to Randi for a bit trying to calm her down, when it seemed I had achieved that goal I went to find my mom. I talked to her for a bit, let her vent, she started crying, I felt aweful...I hate being in a situation where there is not a damn thing I can do to fix things! I gave her a big hug and told her I loved her, what more could I do?

Have I mentioned that the minute we got to my grandparents Randi Beth started drinking?? "In A One Horse Open Sleigh"

Later we went to the dog track...it was much better this time, Randi Beth actually had fun, but I dont think my dad had too much fun, seeing as how he was stuck watching her kids most of the time, not to mention that he is a hardcore Baptist, and JR invited one of his friends from work who was also drunk and dropping the F bomb and GD just about every other word from his mouth. I was so uncomfortable! Anyway, the family left the next day, but not before playing on Logan's new Jeep power wheels!

Now you wonder why I started drinking over at the Luck family Christmas??? I knew what was to come....and trust me I needed to drink a lot more to handle my family! I love them so much, it is just very easy to get frustrated with them!

Oh also I left out the fact that my little sister has a Doberman...the thing is huge, and she decided to chew through all kinds of stuff while she was here....like I said, I hope everyone had a very MERRY Christmas!

Christmas!

So yesterday, I had some last minute Christmas shopping to do...which I still do! I also still haven't gotten Logan's picture with Santa, so I loaded up the kid and diaper bag and we headed to Bay Area....mistake #1. It took FOREVER to get up there, then we got there and it took FOREVER to find a parking spot. We shopped around for a while in what I call mall "HELL" It was a disaster, there were people everywhere...I really dont like Christmas...for many reasons. I stood in line for an hour waiting for Santa...then he went on break and wouldn't be back for another hour, so I said screw it, I wasn't going to wait any longer. We left there and I went to pick up Logans gift that we ordered last week....I was so excited, we got him a jeep power wheels... when we got home Logan was asleep, so JR started putting the jeep together hoping we could get it all done before he saw it....and it would have worked if Logan would have slept just 5 more minutes!!! So he saw the truck, and of course played on it, and had so much fun...until we took it away and put it in the garage until christmas morning! He screamed for quite some time, but finally got over it. It is kinda funny to hide it after he has already seen it, but I figure its still 2 days away, maybe he will forget and be surprised all over again. Here is a picture of Logan on the jeep...taken with my new camera!

I love the bow on his head! He is so adorable!

Taking Dezi Lu for a ride in the new Jeep!

So excited about his new Jeep!

I'm back

So you have probably all stopped even checking by now since it has been so long since I have blogged...sorry. It has been a combination of busy, busy alternating with lazy, lazy!
Not to mention that I have a pretty boring life. So lets get caught up, dont worry it shouldn't take to long.
November ended with Thanksgiving, obviously! It was aweful...but not really. Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday, not because of the food, although I love that too, but its that fact that my entire family gets together...aunts, uncle, cousins, grandparents...the whole she-bang. We are all there telling stories and updating the family on the past years experiences and plans for the future. I just love it! Well because of this little disaster that occured in September, also known as Ike, my grandparents moved to League City because their house had to be completely guttted. Thanksgiving is always at their house, but this year they decided to have it at a family friends house in Galveston....there were so many people, and my family only made up HALF....there was no intimate conversation, my uncle and his son weren't even there...it was aweful...they even had some stupid tart crap to replace cranberry sauce! Grrrr...
The day after Thanksgiving was my Dad's birthday so we took him to Gulf Greyhound to place some bets on the puppies...he loves to gamble! My older sister was pissed because she lost money...and if you know my sister, you know that if she isn't happy she will do everything possible to make every one else unhappy...misery loves company and all!
December seems to have gotten here quickly and it seems as though it is leaving just as quickly as it came. December 6 was JR's brothers wedding. Jason and Lisa finally got married and it was very nice...everything turned out really great, but I hope I dont go through what Lisa did...she changed her reception venue three days before the wedding, and everything came together at the last minute...dont get me wrong, it was very nice, I just hope I dont go through all that stress!
Last weekend was JR's Christmas party at work, so we went up to Houston...after the dinner was all over we dropped Logan off with Dana and went to Sherlocks in River oaks....and that was a freakin blast. JR and I dont get to go out very often so it was really nice. We both had a lot of fun.
This past week, I have done nothing but Christmas shopping and stressing about Christmas...my family will be here Christmas day, which ruins our original plans of going to JR's sisters house, we are hoping to be able to go over there for a little while, but his family will be upset that we wont be with them, my family will be pissed if we aren't with them....Grrrr......Hopefully I can talk my family into coming a little later in the afternoon....that way we can do Christmas in Houston with JR's family from 1-4 and do Christmas in League City with my family from 5-8. THat is seriously the best I can come up with, since both of the families decided to do things on Christmas Day! I guess we'll see!
I already got my Christmas gift from JR....a new camera...hopefully I will be able to put up some pics soon, but I just dont feel like it right now! JR is getting a surround system for the flat screen that we just about a couple of months ago, and Logan is getting a few things but the BIG gift is his Power Wheels! He has developed a obsession with cars and trucks...when JR walks through the door he pats him down trying to find the keys and then he wants to go sit in the truck to play. He knows which key goes in the ignition (Scary...but he cant turn it, and it doesn't go into gear unless your pressing on the brake...and he is ALWAYS supervised!) The other day Logan had the keys to the truck and he was running around, when we decided it was time to go inside JR and I couldn't find the keys....we were on our hands and knees in the grass looking for those damn keys....we finally found them, can you guess where they were? Oh yes, the were in the door...he apparently knows which key will unlock the door too!!! Anyway, so we got him a jeep power wheels that he can drive himself, and hopefully this will take away from the infatuation with mommy and daddy's cars! But it also means I will probably be sending most of my days outside watching him drive around...oh goody! At least this is a toy he can have and actually play with for the next few years...at least it better be considering the price!!!!
Well tomorrow is Monday, I have a ton of things to do tomorrow including cleaning and Christmas is on Thursday...JR works Christmas Eve day and the day after Christmas...I work Christmas Eve night, Christmas Day, and the day after...oh Goody!

ps....Nikki, Bella wanted me to tell you hello, and all the cats and fish miss you, but are doing well!
