My Husband ROCKS!



Just a small brag here on my hubby. He won a new laptop from work the other day and gave it to ME! How awesome is that?! I really like it a lot! It has a 17" HD screen, built-in webcam/microphone, makes lightscribe direct disc labels and lots of other cool features. The one thing I was weary of was the Windows Vista Home Premium Edition it is installed with (change is hard), BUT I love it!

The Kolts DOMINATE....Again!






So, we went to The Kolt's Annual Dinner The St. Joseph's Annual Credit Union Dinner on Friday. What a deal this thing is. I am shocked every year, but it's always the same kicking deal. You get all you can eat and drink (I am talking wine, beer, mixed drinks here), all for $12.50!!! I can't even eat at McDonald's for that much (not that I would anyways, but you know what I mean)! The best part is that our family takes up two tables at the banquet, and we are FUN!

Every year they do a Chinese auction, a 50/50 raffle and a huge Booze Basket giveaway. Our family has this complete luck thing going on with this whole deal. Every year my cousin wins so much, it's almost embarrassing (okay, maybe everyone's just jealous and that's the problem), but anyways he wins A LOT! Well, this year my sister and I decided to rub said cousin for luck. I am not superstitious, but...it worked!!!

I kid you not, Sherry won SIX (or was it seven?) baskets, I won THREE, my nana won TWO, my uncle won ONE, Aria won ONE, my other sister won ONE and Hoosky won the 50/50 - cold hard CASH!!! It was ridiculously AWESOME!!! It is so fun to win. Unfortunately, we made a name again for ourselves this year and didn't make a lot of friends. At least I was happy for the other people that won - Karma baby!!

A Convo with Alina...



So, I had to run to the post office today and I asked Alina if she wanted to come with me. Of course, she did. So, we went. I stopped at Starbucks on the way home (which I believe, led her to believe that we were out for awhile, lol) and then pulled into my driveway. We came straight home. She was not amused. As I pulled into the driveway, she said:

Alina - "NO! I don't want to come home. I want to go shopping!!!"

Me - "Oh, really. Where did you want to go?"

Alina - "Ummm...I don't know. TARGET?!"

Me - "Ok, but maybe tomorrow. We're already home."

If I had make-up on, I would have turned the car around and gone to Target, but it wasn't happening tonight. I cannot tell you how in love I am. My boys HATE shopping and my little girly girl can't get enough. Life is GOOD! BTW, we are going to Target tomorrow!

My Sister got MARRIED!!!!!!!









What an amazing day yesterday was! From beginning to end, the day was seriously flawless. My sister looked absolutely gorgeous, the day turned out beautiful (as the heavens opened up at the perfect moment and the sun shined through, lol - that is for you TOM!), and even little Miss Alina cooperated beyond belief. You never know what a 2 year old might do?!

Not only was the day perfect, but I gained a new brother-in-law that I definitely approve of and his family is just as great. It's always a bonus when you add people you genuinely like to the family. LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

Now, I am ready for babies!!! No pressure....
