Florida & Christmas VLOGS!

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great afternoon. We are finally back home from our Florida Christmas trip! I thought to just make it easy I would include the last 4 vlogs including our Christmas Vlogs , in just one post!

We had such a lovely time together and it was amazing having my mom and sister there with me to celebrate Christmas with Marjorie and Keith. My ex step father even showed up for Christmas. Needless to say we had a houseful! I think one of the most memorable persons there was Keith's Mother Houviann. You can see her in the picture on the - Our Christmas Eve Vlog - sitting at the first chair at the restaurant. OMG. She is 79 years YOUNG and such an amazing woman. We all had so much fun with her. I hope you guys enjoy these vlogs....we are caught up with them from the point but I still have more videos from my other channel to share with you too.. Stay tuned! In the mean time, grab a cup of cozy coffee or tea and watch how we celebrated the holidays! Hope you enjoy!

Monday, September 9: Take this short personality test and respond to your results. (at the end, find the detailed profile of your personality account - click "click to view" under "You" and "self awareness and personal growth." You can even google your type and find more info on it!)

A Tired House

Scott and I have been so tired over the past couple of days. We slept a lot together over the holidays and that meant neither of us slept very well.  A few nights a week, we sleep apart and we both really like it better. Scott snores so badly.. he sleeps all over the bed...and I hog the covers.. well the other night he took all the blankets and I slept. So he is in the spare bedroom tonight hopefully sleeping like a baby. I am not sure why we feel so depleted but we both need to sleep and dream. Maybe we are catching colds. My body aches and Scott says his does too. 

I was really tired but somehow stayed up long enough to clean up the laundry room, really clean the living room and got things put away and organized. Then I started on the kitchen which took a while..then I cooked 

because I had a ton of left over bacon and eggs from Christmas. Plus it was easy. I didn't even want to cook but the boys was not willing to eat ham 3 nights in a row. Nope that wasn't happening. Tomorrow I have to be up at 1030 for an important phone call at 11:00 am. Not looking forward to getting up early.. and yes right now thats early for me. Its 2am here now..and its still going to take a while to fall asleep. But I need to make the call. Maybe I will fall back to sleep but it wouldn't hurt to get up because tomorrow I need to focus on the upstairs.. its a mess up here and also run Jackson to the mall. I don't really want to do that, but I promised I would and I don't think he will let me out of it. 

My sister made it back to Orlando safe and sound.. My mom is still driving.. YES, STILL DRIVING.. She has stopped at a couple casinos along the way so its taking a bit longer than it would if she wasn't stopping but at least she is having fun along the way! Be safe mom.. I love you. We had a nice Christmas with everyone. It was nice getting us all together.. even if it was only for a couple of days. 

Well.. I need sleep.. 

Have a great Friday..

♥ Christmas Eve ♥

 Today started off rather easy.. other than Jackson not wanting to take pictures.. too bad!! He took them anyway! 

Here is Laci giving him some Love!!

Mom wanted a lot of pictures so that is what she got.. 

enjoy! 

My Day..

My day started out pretty early... which wasn't easy..Thankfully the coffee was hot and I was able to get moving about pretty quickly. We all slept in so we all felt better. 

We took off to the airport and on the way we picked up breakfast..   

Have you ever tried the oatmeal from Mc Donalds? Its really good. I get a few things of butter and about 3 or so sugars and its delicious! Really good.

Hello.. How are you tonight!? Its been a easy night around the for most part. However, husby  did come home and want me to call and find out where his phone is at. Its a huge mess since we are both having phone issues. It took over an hour on the phone with them to get it fixed.. It sucked.. I had my husband griping and complaining in one ear and the guy trying to fix things in the other ear. They think that problem was the shipping department not understanding the orders. I will be super happy when he gets his phone so he will stop bitching. He doesn't like the blackberry. I do think the blackberry is a better phone but I like the Samsung better too. So I understand. Hes just been using it until the other phone comes in. Hopefully this mess gets all straightened out by the weekend.

I didn't think at the begnning of the day that I would accomplish anything today. I was feeling so lazy and comfy in the house . It was just one of those days when it was hard to get out of the bed. We all had a late start. I come down and go straight to the coffee part and today.. it wasn't do a damn thing to help energize me!!!

Before I knew it, all the rain that was suppose to come tomorrow showed up early. We got a big storm. It came on fast and strong. I kept doubting that it was really going to rain because the reports had nothing about it.. one drop came .. then many more followed!

Thursday Inspiration..

Good morning friends.

Can you believe I am up?? I wanted to see Laci for a few minutes before she took off to head to the dealership and then start out on her long trip home.

( I started this post at 10 am and have been watching tv instead of finishing it! )

Hi!

Hello everyone!

I don't have long to get this post done because we are off to do a little hiking in a few minutes before it rains. Its been a busy day around the Jaggers house. Early this morning.. Laura, Jerred, and the baby took off to Tennessee..and Scott and Michael went to work. So its just been Laci, Matt and I for most of the afternoon. Jerred is on his way back and should be back here really soon.

We just got back from taking Lacis bug down to Scott to be checked out. She was having some issue with it.. so hopefully they will get it all fixed up before they hit the road tomorrow morning. We all just had some left over pasta for lunch and its made me a bit lazy.. Got to get some motivation to get in those woods in a few minutes!

I was going to cook some chickens for dinner but I forgot to sit them out so in a few minutes I am going to head to the store to find something to cook. I should have done it on the way home but I didn't think they would really want to go food shopping with me. But.. yea, should have stopped!

Well, I hope you are having a beautiful day. I will get to emails by the end of the week. I know that my phone is full of messages too but I will get to you when things slow down.

Got to get going!

Full House!!

Woooo - the Jaggers house is full tonight!

Laci and Matt made it.. Laura, Jerred, and the baby are here and husby was here all day too. We have all been hanging out all night enjoying each others company. Its been pretty fun too. We all had a BIG pasta dinner, played some games and watched some tv.. and play time with Ashlynn of course. Everyone was showing her attention.. and she was loving it!

First off.. If I didn't take your call, return your message or answer your email.. please know.. I am going to get to all of them as soon as I can. I am not even around my phone that much right now. I am all over the house, doing all kinds of things and my phone always ends up in my bedroom upstairs. Its super buy here but by Friday things should be slowing down some. I have a lot of pictures from today but its just too late for me to get them up on here.

Laura and the baby are leaving bright and early to meet Jerreds father who is driving her 1/2 way home. She is pregnant and its not a good idea to travel that far by herself.. and she would have Ashlynn too. So they are meeting 1/2 way and it will be better for her. Tomorrow Scott goes back to work so it will be mostly my sister and I until later in the afternoon when Jerred gets back. It does feel kinda strange with mom not being here but its ok.. Its nice hanging out with Laci. I figure in the end we will be leaning on each other a lot. So its nice.. and Matt is really sweet too. And Laura will be back for spring break in about 15 days. So she's not gone for long!

Michael hung out tonight. He's been feeling sick. I don't know.. but I wish he felt better. I wonder if its all the people but he hung out and seemed to have a nice time. I am going to miss him when he moves out.

Anyway, this very small post has took forever for me to write. I am watching tv and falling asleep and blogging.. So good night!

Christmas 2011

Sorry for the delay with these pictures. I was pretty busy on Christmas and the days following so I didn't take as many pictures as I normally do.. but here are the ones I did get!

Table all set..

Eggnog and rum out

Used bar stools at the corners for more room.

Almost time to eat!

Here is our family!

Dinner was amazing

Laci and Mizuki

mom and Don

husby and me!

Laci again

After dinner it was

gift time.

Lots and Lots of Gifts..

They were all stretched around the living room and

husby played Santa

It took a while!

but he got it done!

Where is Laci!!??

Michael and Courtney opening gifts!

Big box from Micahel to Scott.

Mizuki all happy!

Love this picture!

Laci having fun checking everything out!

Husby on break!

Woooo- all the gift opening made us all tired!

But we got up and went and played

Jenga!

We all had a great time.

made a lot of great memories that night. I wish ALL the kids could have been here but we are so spread out.. But we are happy because we know summer is right around the corner. So we are just hanging in there and then our house will be busy again!

And what was even nicer was waking up with

husby the next morning. Its weird.. I don't like sleeping with him at night but I love waking up with him in the morning. Strange huh!?

We had a great Christmas with our family. I think everyone had a good time. Sorry I didn't get pictures of all the food but I just was not taking pictures... really I forgot most of the time. I think my mom took some too so if she does post them on facebook.. I will get them up on here to show you!

Hope you had a great time with your family over Christmas 2011. Its crazy how fast the big anticipated holiday passes. Just in one night.. its over.

Now time to get on with the

New Year!!

We were all talking and for Scott and I we had a pretty good 2011. We had one serious blow up fight.. that we got through thank goodness but nothing too bad happened and we seemed to have a pretty happy year and I think we owe that to each other, our family and God. We are blessed.. that's for sure.
