Bobby is home!

And I am so happy! He got home yesterday while I was at work and I was really glad, since that meant he unloaded the car before I got home. LOL! I WOULD have helped, but am really glad I didn't have to. The living room was piled high with everything and it will take a couple of days to get it all put up.

I am so glad he is home! He was gone 3 1/2 weeks...the longest we have been apart since we met 13 years ago! He had a great trip and got some amazing pics...I will post some this weekend. He was at the Grand Canyon last weekend. (He did not take this pic...I just needed one for today. LOL!)

I am a happy mom today!

I have talked about my kids before, but haven't explained that they are actually my stepkids. I never wanted to have children, but when I met Bob, I totally fell in love with his 3 beautiful little ones. Fortunately for me, they fell in love with me! When I married Bob, I married our kids and I love them all dearly! Over the years, they have lived back and forth with us and their mom for various reasons.

Usually Mother's Day is for their "real" mom. When they lived with us, Bob took them to get me gifts. Since they moved out, if I saw them, they would wish me a happy Mother's Day, but I didn't always hear from them.

Today, Meredith, the oldest called me to wish me a happy Mother's Day! Samantha, our middle one, wished me a happy Mother's Day on her Facebook, calling me "one of the best two mommies in the world." And our youngest, Chance...well, I haven't heard from him since he is in Iraq, but his wife sent me a message that he was thinking about me and trying to send me flowers, but was having problems with his internet connection. In this case, it is definitely the thought that counts.




I love my kids! I love my grandkids! I love my life!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there!

Shameless grandma bragging....

Okay....I'm a stalker. I admit it. But sometimes you have to be to get what you want. I have been stalking my son-in-law's Picassa album and he put up some baby pictures! NEW BABY pictures!

Yeah! Well, there are pics of the "old" baby, too. LOL!

So, I thought I would share..... These are of my almost 3-year-old grandson, Theo, and his new baby brother, Wyatt. Aren't they adorable??!!

Hubby did not get on stage...

He DID however get on TV. LOL! He said he was in the end seat on the second or third row and at least one contestant that was called came running right by him. (Maybe more than one, but I forget. LOL!)

He said it was a long day, but he met some nice people and had a pretty good time. But he was a little ticked that 4 out of the 6 people that were picked were "locals". LOL! He said other out-of-towners, like him, were not happy about it.

Oh, well, luck of the draw I guess. I can be thankful that he didn't win some huge prize and decide to just live in California. LOL!

No Plinko for Bobby. :-(

Tomorrow my husband will be

on....

That's right! On his way home from being a "manny" for our daughter, he has stopped in Los Angeles to go on The Price is Right! Taping it tomorrow and it will air sometime in July, he said.

I am going to keep my fingers crossed that he gets picked and gets to go on stage. Even if he didn't win a thing, it would be hysterical to get him up there with Drew.


Cross your fingers, my friends!

The new baby


Here is the first pic of Meredith and Wyatt. It was taken on my son-in-law, Billy's, cell phone, so is not the best. But, hey, I got a pic!

Great Deal Alert on L'Oreal Revitalift


I don't usually post deal alerts, as someone always beats me to them, but I haven't seen anything about this one. Walgreens has Loreal Revitalift Deep Wrinkle Repair for $13.99 this week! Regular price on this is $19.99, so if you buy this, this is great savings. There are coupons out there for $1 or $2 off. I am at work or would go look for the links to them. Sorry, guys!

A little background on why this is a great deal for ME.
A few weeks ago, hubby came into the bathroom while I was in the bathtub. He was in a panic! He JUST realized that he has crow's feet. LOL! He was staring in the mirror and going on and on about them. I said, "Honey, you've had those for a couple of years." That didn't matter. He wanted me to tell him what to use on them to get rid of them RIGHT THEN. Well, I explained that I didn't have anything, since I have NO wrinkles. (smirk) I use a night cream with alpha hydroxy, but it is not for deep wrinkles.
So, I offered to do some research to find out what he should use. He wanted to know RIGHT THEN, so he could go buy some the next day. LOL! So I found some great review on the Revitalift and that is what he decided to go get. AT FULL PRICE! When it comes to vanity, I guess you can't put a price on it. LOL! Luckily, I found a $1 coupon and he went and bought it at FULL PRICE of $19.99 at Walgreens the next morning.
He has been using it for a couple of weeks now, but I don't know how it is working, since he is still out of town. Maybe his crows feet will be gone when he gets back. Hmmm? Maybe?
Anyway, if you NEED Revitalift at your house, like I do, this is a great price. Run...do not walk...to Walgreens and get yours. Sale ends Saturday, 5/2.
