All Hallows Day...i think

A bit late, but hope everyone had a happy halloween. It was kinda a bum day around the steele house. I had to work the morning, the kids are sick and tim ended up having to close Domino's. Didn't even get one trick or treater.....

Miss harlee did enjoy wearing her Princess outfit the past couple of days. Nic never liked the dragon costume. Guess we'll just have to put it away. Poor little guys are both sick with something. Hasn't been too nice around here. I did get to go out with friends for a couple hours.

Not too much else is exciting in our house lately. Trying to make it through my job and tim's two jobs anymore consumes most of our time. Keep your eyes out for holiday wishlist for the steele family coming up in the next few weeks if anyone is interested. =)

Ranting....

Ok, I have to rant. I am sick of all these people who buy a digital SLR and think they are amazing photographers. NOOOOO. 99.99% of the time they are not. they just point and shoot. They don't know anything about the lighting or the timing...ya know. It just irks me, there's all these little photography businesses popping up. What's annoying is when it's freaking high schoolers who've done maybe one intro to photography class. Whatever. You get what you pay for right?

Now... I know several people who are indeed TRUE photographers. They've studied how to take photos... spent time, money, and effort. Know the trials and errors of what they are doing. Now I applaud them for their amazing jobs!

September already?

So I'm a slacker on the blog, I know. What can I say? I'm more busy than anything. work, kids, work...cleaning...ya know the norm. Trying to get the house cooled down. Tim didn't turn the a/c on at all, so I've had it on since 3:30p ish. I'm waiting for Tim to get off... again. It's my day off tomorrow, so I can be up late. Although I'm probably gonna hit the sack soon. I can harldy keep my eyes open past 11:30pm anymore.

Maybe tomorrow I can unbury my bedroom. I have stacks of clean clothes everywhere. I seem to get everything washed okay, but then putting it away is where i go downhill. Maybe its because I don't have enough room for all mine and Tim's stuff. Our dressers are crammed and so is the tiny closet. and that I need more hangers. I'm anxious for my order from Pure Romance to get in tomorrow. New catalogs are in it! 40 pages....which is almost 2 times as big as the old ones. Hopefully it will pick up soon- everyone says they want to have a party.....but no one actually has one. Thats okay. I'll live. Just frustrated.

Nic is toddling around quite well. He likes to follow mom with one of the busted cell phones and hold it up to his ear and babble in it. Definatly is following Harlee around quite a bit and his favorite thing to do is turn off the TV during a good part in whatever show you're watching. OH my... can't keep my eyes open anymore. Harlee is well...harlee. She's so hard to explain most of the time. Loves her kitchen and baby dolls, and locking her little brother in the closet. hehe But thats another story.

To here and back again...

Oh it's been a while yet again since I've last blogged. We've been busy. Trip to Denver, spending lots of quality family time together, Enjoying the summer... It's been so nice outside lately we've been out playing in the yard, enjoying the sunshine.

Our trip to Denver was GREAT!! I had a blast, and I think Tim is quite impressed with the city. And all the cars he likes that are there. We've decided in maybe 5 ish years to move there in a few years. He wants to go to the Automotive college they have. There's so much more opportunity down there for us. We also took tim's niece Tylena down with us. She had a blast too, and was a big help with the kids. I got to visit with Abby, and go to some of my few shopping places. It was a ton of fun being in the big city again.

We got to have another week and a half off after we got home from Denver because our trip plans to KC had changed. SO we got to spend some quality family time. I know the kids had a blast having us both home everyday. The house is definitely a mess right now though... Tim and I got to sneak a weekend in of camping without any kids. That was really nice too. But onto the photos! they seem to have loaded backwards... oh well..

Flying J guy in Billings trying to unplug the rain drain...? It was a bad down pour. We had just gotten on the road again after lunch and had to pull off at the next exit- we couldn't see the road.

I've been busy. What can I say? We've been trying to get ready for our trip to Denver/ Kansas City.... working... trying to be a family- ya know the normal around here. Thought I would post a few new pictures of the kiddos. Taking a break while attempting to clean my house. I got the living room done- and mopped half of it. The other half has these blue carpets on it. Oh well. Enjoy the photos and feel free to comment!!
