Just another day at the Casey's

It started to cool down a little bit and the boys were playing outside. Here are a couple video clips of them playing...they are short!

My Cakes

A couple of weeks ago, Matt's school had a cake walk and a cake auction. I made these 2 cakes for the auction. I wanted to do one for Matthew and had to do a "girly" cake, too. It was fun playing with purple & pinks!

Back it Up!

This is a PSA (public service announcement)! Make sure you back up your computer data! I had an external hard drive that I had all of my data on. Thought I was being safer by putting all the data on the external HD in case my C-drive crashed. Well...I think I have some type of computer virus, because if anything can go wrong on a computer it is usually my computer. Any way, TJ had backed up about 2 months ago so I haven't lost it all, but I have no idea what I am missing. Oh well...you live and you learn! The sun will come up tomorrow! :-) Thank goodness that I had uploaded a lot of pictures to ofoto.com and also on the blog and that my photographer, Amanda, has made. You can go to her blog and click on her labels for the boys and see more pictures there. Anywho...TJ I love you and am in no way blaming you for this little bump in our life freeway! This is just a great learning experience and I just wanted to share so others can learn from our mistakes! Now go and back up your computers!

I'm an Aunt? Mom? Step Mom? What?

This past weekend I was looking at the fish in our fish tank and I thought one of the mickey fish ( they are called Mickey fish because they have a black mark on their tail that looks like Mickey's ears) was very fat. I said to Matthew "oh my goodness...I think this fish is pregnant!" TJ came home and said the saw the fish was large, but thought he ate one of the other fish since it is missing. (fish are weird). Anyways, tonight, TJ was cleaning out the tank and as he was sucking up all the fish poop & such he said "You were right" (somehow, I never get tired of hearing that)! There were baby fish swimming around. You could barely see them, but we saw at least 6. He thinks they won't live long since TJ fears the Molly fish are going to eat them. (fish are weird). Just trying to post events in my life so I can eventually move that picture of me in my uniform off the page! Ha ha!

It's my Birthday!

Hello! It's my birthday today and I am very blessed! I am so happy (except I would LOVE to have my house organized), but otherwise super happy! I had a great day. I played hookey from work again today. That makes 3 days now. Luke was a little under the weather on Friday and yesterday Matt had gotten strep and today well...today I just wanted to stay home. I was doing some things around the house. I finally finished my book, Breaking Dawn! LOVED IT! Then I got the call that Matt wasn't feeling well at school so I went and got him. We came home and took a little nap and then I went and got a facial. It was a very nice day. My 3 boyz got me an IPod! I have never had one and finally decided I was ready. After I loaded some songs onto it, we plugged it in and we danced. It was a GREAT day! Thank you to everyone for loving me and always being there for me! I truly am blessed! Hopefully, I have written enough to push off those pictures of me in my uniform. If not, I will have to make another post! Tee Hee
Love you all!

Tiger Scouts

Matthew is starting cub scouts this year. He will be a Tiger Scout! Somehow, my wonderful, generous, and most thoughtful, husband of mine, volunteered me to be his Den Leader. So all summer I have been stressing out about the "uniform". The day finally came and we had to go sell Scout-o-Rama tickets last Saturday at the grocery store. The boys looked so cute/handsome in their uniforms. Not a big fan of the Den Leader's uniforms, but I decided to take one for the team. Matthew was excited that I had a uniform too...and I guess that is all the matters.

I can be fun too sometimes!

Don't know what came over me tonight, but had a little fun with dinner. Had gotten these alphabet tator tots at the store the other day so I decided to bake some chicken nuggets and tator tots. When I was putting them on the plates, I thought "how fun...I can spell their names out" then I thought "I can make some smiley faces and use their tator tots as the mouth" So I did. I called Matt to eat and he jumped up to the table and asked for something to drink then he was surprised at what he saw. He said "It's my name! How cool"! I said, "I know...isn't that fun!" Just wanted to share a grace filled moment I shared with my son tonight!

Here are my masterpieces! I know...I am such a dork! I really don't have that much extra time...something just came over me tonight!
