2012-01-25T13:53:00.000-05:00

Since things have been going smooth lately i think i am going to TRY to start blogging again.. Chads on leave right now and that's been so fun its so nice having him take the kids to school in the morning and him be here most the time... hes been hunting some also, in fact that's where he is right now.. hopefully he will get a deer this time i am starting to feel bad for him lol! Speaking of chad if the navy approves the early tera retirement hes taking it!! its awesome and scary at the same time! i'll keep ya updated on that one cause i'm sure if he gets out its back to Oklahoma we go, which will be different but fun i cant wait to have a big garden and chickens and chad home every night!!! But anyways I'm going to start a diet next month and hopefully i can lose this baby weight cause i am ready for it to go!!! Well that's all for now..

I really really need to get more organized my house is so unorganized and its overwhelming i have so many stacks of paper, notebooks, books, clothes and shoes etc etc etc!!! i think i am going to try and deep clean and organize one area a day or week because with all the other chores i have to do everyday i do not think i can add more then one thing at a time right now!! And i really feel like i need to get it done now because soon we will be planing our garden and chads wanting to do a very large one so i feel like that's going to be very time consuming and I'd really like to have it done before the baby gets here which is really not that far away i think the biggest thing i need to do is actually get rid of stuff we just don't have a ton of space in this house and all our stuff makes it seem smaller and even more cluttered!! i also think i need to look around on google and see if i can find some good organizing blogs or websites, if you know some please send me an email or leave a comment with a link!!

For Today… Monday, January 10, 2011

Outside My Window… cloudy, rainy and cold 38 degrees out at the moment

I am thinking… I really need to start my daily chores and quit sitting around!

I am thankful… that none of my kids are sick and that we have a warm house!

I am remembering… my dogs that are gone i miss bugar and gustav so much :( bugar was a red min pin that got murdered by coyotes in oklahoma :( and gustav was a black and tan min pin that i got 4 years later he was a runner and got lost or picked up and no one ever returned him i miss them both so much!

I am hearing… Caleb munching on cheerios and watching Micky and kk playing with her petshops :)

I am going… to do some cleaning very soon!!

I am hoping… its not raining when its time to get the kids from school later!

On my mind… where we are going to put our garden we have a pretty big yard this year with very fertile dirt i'm pretty excited about fresh veggies!!

From the learning rooms… preschool stuff with kk and Caleb seem to be picking alot up hes so smart!

From the kitchen… Creamy basil parmesan pasta for lunch and no clue what i'm going to make for dinner yet...

One of my favorite things… mocha frappuccinos with shots of espresso :) i have not had one in weeks and really want one!

Pondering these words… if you think positive and smile you will be alot happier

A few plans for the rest of this week… drs. apt tommorw for an ultersound so very soon i will know if we are having another girl or boy so excited!! shopping on friday for grocerys and church on suday maybe at a new church..

From my picture journal…

All my boys watching a Clint Eastwood movie lol!

it been awhile again.. my bad

2011-01-03T18:00:00.000-05:00

well lots of new things have happened since my last post the number one thing would be we moved from the crappy house we lived in!!! and we pretty much love this house lol.. it really needs new flooring and we really need to find the water heater cause its turned up really high and made our first electric bill 500 bucks and we just can afford to live here if thats going to be what it is every month i mean 500 bucks really???!! really??!!! the water heater is the only thing we think it could be cause we have all energy efficient bulbs, HE washing machine, and keep the lights off and the heater is barely ever on and this is a triple increase from the other house with the same company :( but other then that lol this house is really neat we have a big yard the kids can safely play in and if we ever have any extra money there is a really cool looking restaurant like 2 blocks away! the church is walking distance away and the school is awesome!! so honestly the pros to this house are great!!

and lets see we had a great Christmas and thanksgiving the kids got lots of neat-o things from us and Santa :) and we even had a fireplace for him to come down this year :) thanksgiving was fun cause my mom and brother and sister came down so that was really cool!! you really miss out on having family dinners with extended family with you are a military family and live far from "home" its really cool being so close to Pensacola right now we went down there for kyles birthday and saw alot of the family i have not seen in like 10 years!!! that was awesome!!

we are thinking about going to oklahoma to see chads family for spring break in march but we are not 100% sure yet but if we go i'm sure it will be super fun, kk does not even remember ever being there and only chads mom has seen Caleb so it will be nice to show him off and let the kids ride horses and just be free for a little bit Cheyenne and kyle really miss oklahoma!

well i guess thats all i have for now I'll try to update again soon :) i find out if baby # 6 is a girl or boy on the 11th so i'm sure i will be back then to let everyone know!

Its About Time!!

2010-10-28T10:20:00.000-04:00

Well its been a LONG time I know!! So I figured it was time for an update!

Things are going great right now we are now living in Panama City, FL.. Chad is off the ship and on shore duty so hes home all the time and that's so awesome for our family the kids and me love having him home all the time! Right now hes home ALOT because he had surgery on the ankle he fractured LAST year!! All the kids are doing good and growing like crazy Cheyenne is 10, Kyle is about to be 9 and Cody is 6 and about as big as Kyle, little kk is in preschool this year and is just having a blast (most days lol) and baby Caleb is huge hes 2 now and seems to get bigger and smarter everyday!! and lastly I'm pregnant with baby number 6 :) and will be due May 26th, 2011 and we can't wait!! I'm not sure what my plans are for this blog but i think i am going to try and start blogging again but honestly I'm not sure i don't really have alot of time for the computer these days so we will see! so until next time later guys!

2009-12-07T13:47:00.003-05:00

check out this stroller giveaway!!!

2009-12-07T08:33:00.001-05:00

i really really really want to win this stroller giveaway!!!!

has is really been 44 days???

2009-11-19T08:38:00.004-05:00

wow thats a long time to go without blogging!!! i guess i have been doing alot of updating on facebook and i just kinda forgot about my cute little blog :( but i am going to try and post more cause i really like to go back and look at pictures and my randomness at later dates lol!

so anyways whats been going on the past 44 days....

caleb turned 1 and thats just crazy that he is that old hes actually 13mts now its just shocking really that my baby boy is getting so big my mom and sister were down when we celebrated his birthday so that was cool he was not impressed with the cake one bit thou i forced him to try the frosting and he acted like i was trying to poison him lol but i suppose thats no surprise cause he is not much of an eater he like Cheerios, pretzel's, and chicken and thats about it!!!

hummm chad is still gone :( and will be gone still for a long time and this deployment is taking forever and ever and i am very bored with it!!! but in june we move to panama city for shore duty so we are really looking foward to that i can't wait to be out of mayport most days it feels like june will never come but in the other hand its really not that far away!!! i will miss a few people from here but honestly i am not really a person that "hangs" out with people i am more of an email friend i just don't really care for social gatherings and i think party's and group outings with husbands involved are torture lol but every once in awhile i do enjoying going to the park with a friend and chatting it up or coffee at a friends house and chatting :) but thats about it! well what started as an i miss chad ended in my anti social behaviors intresting....

lets see i have discovered an awesome new website called wish upon a hero its just full of awesomeness you have to check it out and here's my profile if you want to grant my book wish lol or just add me as a friend :) but its a great site i have helped people with food, clothes, and cards and it feels great and cheyenne got so many birthday cards for her birthday last year its amazing how a card can make someone feel so good seeing them come in had me in tears and kyles getting them in now his birthday is 11/27 and honestly its just awesome i can't say enough good things about this site!!

i started working out again on monday and it sucks but its going pretty good so far and i needed to start cause i am getting to big from all the eating out we tend to do when chad is away so far i have lost 2 lbs i am sure its just water weight but i'll take it lol!! we got a wii fit and it does make working out kinda fun i love beating the kids running scores and hula hoop scores lol!!!

2009-10-06T09:43:00.002-04:00

sorry i have not been around alot i have been been reading alot and just chilling around the house with the kids we have not really been doing much so there is not much to write about! we went to the park over the weekend and poor kk got stung by a wasp i was worried at first she might be allergic cause her poor leg got all red and puffy so we went home right away and by the time we got there it was fine and just a little puffy where she got stung so i knew she was fine but that was a little scary at first! and she wanted to go to sonics since that wasp put its poison in her haha shes so crazy!! it was happy hour so i figured why not so we all got slushies and headed home and watched monsters vs. aliens we LOVE that movie its so funny if you have not seen it yet you should go buy it or get it on netflix or something!!! well i guess thats all i got I'll try to get some new pictures posted soon i just can't find my camera to get them online! later guys!

wow am i glad i have noting else to do this week, Monday cody had to get a baby root canal done its not really a root canal but its pretty much what it is my poor little dude, he did great thou there was one time he was in pain ;( and had to be given another shot but once that kicked in he was fine and had a heavy tongue for a long time (lol thats what he called it) but today hes doing great you would have never thought he just had some major work done yesterday!! and today kyle had to go and actually get a tooth pulled and a space maintainer put in which was pretty scary for me he did great when the dentist was done i asked kyle if he wanted to see his tooth and hes all what mom they took my tooth out already hahaha i was pretty happy about that cause i would hate for him to have been in any pain!! both boys still have to get more stuff done kyles going back on the first to get 2 of his teeth capped cause the filling are bad now and Cody's got to go back on the 15Th and get another baby root canal done ;( but at least we found an awesome dentist office one thing we never found in Oklahoma so for that i am very very grateful!!

in other news chads out to sea again ;( for about 2 weeks and that really sucks hes gonna miss the independence day fest on base they are doing it this weekend so i guess its just me and the kids going bummer on that!!

we went to the beach and chad and kyle fished on Sunday and they saw a bunch of sand sharks chad said he saw one that was pretty big really close man how scary is that, they were not even that far out we went at high tide and about an hour before sunset and it was so nice out there the water was calmer then i have ever seen it!! well i guess i need to go and get some stuff around the house done i just wanted to update the blog since its been awhile ;)

2009-06-12T13:09:00.002-04:00

well i took 4 of the kiddos to the dentist this week kk and cody went Tuesday and i LOVE their dentist but am sad to report Cody's has to get 2 caps and then 3 fillings ;( and kk needs 2 caps ;( so thats pretty uncool we brush twice a day everyday so really how does this happen??) and then on to kyle and Cheyenne kyle is not doing well either he actually has an infected tooth thats gonna have to be pulled ;( and that was one that was filled in stupid Oklahoma and all the other fillings he had in Oklahoma are bad now and will have to be redone just another reason to dislike that crappy place! but Cheyennes teeth are perfect as usual! so yeah to that but i hate that the other 3 kiddos have to get a lot of stuff done it makes me sad!!

in other news my dishwasher is finally fixed so thats some good news!!! well later guys i need to clean up a bit!

Wow I've been gone awhile lol

2009-06-10T10:57:00.004-04:00

so i am just sitting here waiting on maintenance to get here and fix or replace my dishwasher they are not late yet but they will be in 1 minute lol they were suppose to come between 8-11 and ummm no they are not here yet!!! very annoying!! i think the thing that annoys me the most is pest control is coming today also to spray for spiders and stuff and they were suppose to come between 8-11 and they are not here also yet so whats up with that crap??? but anyways i cleaned my butt off yesterday so they house looks pretty awesome, well as awesome as it can look for a house with 5 kids under 8 lol!

I took Cody and Kaylee to the dentist yesterday and i love the place i took them to!! I was so happy with the dentist and hygienist and that NEVER happens i have never really liked any of the dentists my kids have been to cause they were all rude and have crazy rules like you are not allowed to go back with your kid and i just think that's wrong!! but this guys awesome and so is his staff there i go back again tomorrow for Cheyenne and kyle while its annoying i have to go back there this soon i am okay with it since it was such a nice place!! other then that we have not been doing all that much chads out to sea for about a week give or take a day so i am sure i will be blogging again hes been home early alot so i have not really had the time to well later guys I'll be back later with new pictures ;)

I missed my Tonya ;) UPDATED W/Pictures

2009-05-14T12:06:00.005-04:00

i have to admit i am so freaking happy right now this morning Tonya (my ex step sister lol) confirmed me as a friend on myspace see i have missed my Tonya so much we grew up together my mom and her dad were together/married from the time i was about 12 or 13 till i was 18 so we spent a big part of our life together and we always had fun i remember this one time she mooned the traffic on scenic hwy hahahaha and then i remember all the funny pictures we would take and i remember this one time i said something to her from the earphones in our little stereo and she like god is that you hahaha it was so funny i am sure it does not sound funny but it was! it has been so many years since i have been in contact with Tonya when i joined the navy in 98 i did not talk to her much and then my mom left her dad in like 99 and then my mom moved to Texas so i up until like the summer of 2007 (i think) i had not seen or talked to her but my mom moved back to Pensacola and i called mark (yuck lol) to get Tonya's number and we met up and it was awesome seeing her but sadly we only got together that one time and now its 2 years later and she is finally on myspace so i am pretty excited and shes getting married in 6 Mt's that's just so awesome!!!

Here's some old pictures of us they are kinda crappy cause i took them with my camera i really need a scanner but they are still cool ;)

here's a picture of Tonya from probably 1997 ;)
and here's on of that crazy sister of mine from 96 i think?? hahahahahaha

and here's one of me and Tonya and wally cat from 97 or 98 ;)

and another one of me and Tonya from 96 probably yes i look like a boy thanks for noticing lol!

one huge reason i love foodlion

2009-05-14T11:51:00.004-04:00

so a few weeks ago i lost my wallet and if you know me you know i lose my wallet all the time and it just always turns up in the car or under my bed etc etc etc and i kept checking the accounts and noting was stolen form them so i just knew it was in the house but we have been taking turns being sick and i really have not had time to look for it! so yesterday i had to go to foodlion and get a few things and i went to my favorite cashier shes just really nice and cool and has a sling like mine and she always makes Caleb laugh so she sees me and says where have you been ( i usually go to foodlion twice a week but like i said we have been sick) and i was like ummm we have been sick it was weird lol so she says I've got your wallet i found it on the ground in the parking lot i was like OMG thank you so much (this foodlion is not in the nicest of places so wow thank you lord for her finding it) so yeah foodlion rocks!!

man...

2009-05-14T11:30:00.003-04:00

wow its been a rough couple days i really thought i was gonna die Monday and i have no idea how i got thru the day before chad came home cause that whole day is a blur we have a nasty little virus circulating in our house right now it all started on Sunday for me yes what a wonderful mothers day gift lol we did have a great day still the kids all got me some awesome little homemade gifts and then they all had some flowers and and Cheyenne had a balloon and teddy bear that kk stole like 15 minutes later haha and then we went to the beach for probably about 3 hours, haveing the big umbrella is awesome cause we can stay longer chad fished (and caught noting lol, but we did see a baby shark someone caught and that was cool) the kids had an awesome time playing in little tide pools and it was cool having them play in the pools cause i did not really have to stress out and worry about them being carried off to sea so it was really relaxing! i even let Caleb play in the tide pools and he had a blast I'll try to get some pictures posted later theres a really funny one of him tasting salt water hahaha! so after all that we went to Wendy's for dinner and then just chilled at home and watched a movie and that night is when it all started i had a really high fever that took 4 hours to break and yes i took Motrin and Tylenol and it still took that long it was crazy and then the next day(Monday) my head hurt so bad i really thought it might just explode and that was ALL DAY long finally Tuesday i was feeling a little better but i still felt like crap but at least i could get off the floor and take care of the kids and myself and then yesterday (Wednesday) chad got it and he was in bed all day with the horrible headache and fever but today he went to work so i am guessing he is doing better i think kk and Caleb and getting it now which really stinks cause i hate my babies to be in pain please pray for them and that they will not get the worst of it!!

Any one want some free diapers..??? these are promised to someone now sorry

2009-05-09T09:30:00.007-04:00

***these are now promised to someone thanks anyways for looking and sorry you missed them!

hey guys since i am making my own diapers now i am not really feeling the need to hoard all these diapers i have!! ( i have tons) so i am gonna get rid of the ones that need work i have 11 fuzzi bunz that all need new elastic i also have 3 or 4 others that have leaking problems you can have all of these for the cost of shipping (about 6 bucks) or if you want i will fix the elastic for 3 bucks a diaper just make me an offer it may take me a few weeks thou cause i do have 5 kids and my time is usually short! the 11 diapers with elastic issues have no leaking issues that i can remember but they have been thru 4 kids and have stains please see the pictures i also wanted to add that there are no inserts with these you can buy them from any cloth diapering website or if you wanna be super cheap you can just use rags but they will not absorb near are good as ones that are made for diapers!

they are size medium mostly but there are a few petites

see lots of staining!

i've got sewing fever!!

2009-05-08T10:52:00.005-04:00

been chilling...

2009-04-29T08:45:00.004-04:00

i really do need to start blogging more i am not sure what my problem has been this month i think i have been depressed or something cause chad has been gone so much hes pretty much gone all week he is home on the weekends thou so thats cool but it just goes by so fast and this weekend he has duty on Sunday so thats really gonna stink! but oh well thats the navy huh...

i have been walking again i got a new stroller a few weeks ago and i LOVE it i do kinda regret not getting the double cause kk is soooooooooooooo slow i am not power walking i have to go snail speed which drives me insane but i really don't like double strollers they are hard to push and not really that cute this one on the other hand is AWESOME i will have to take a picture soon and post it on here Caleb looks totally styling in it lol!

we went to the beach over the weekend and flew kites and played in the water it was so hot out that even the water was warm last time we went the water was still ice cold so that was nice that the water is warming up the kids had a great time and to make the time there even better a lady came up to me and asked if i wanted some chips,cookies, and drinks cause she really did not want to carry them all the way back up to her car and all the stuff was unopened so i of course wanted them and boy were the kids and chad (lol) happy about all the junk food so thank you nice beach lady hehe ;)

i am not sure i posted about getting a new car or not but we did and its really nice its a ford expedition and it seats 8 and drives great unlike the piece of crap astro van that seated 7 we had before (yuck) so its nice driving something nice again i had missed my ford excursion, to be honest i like this better its got a sun roof hahaha but whats weird is its way smaller then the excursion but gets worse gas mileage it really sucks on gas i get 10 miles per gallon!!!!!!!!!! so sucky but at least i do not ever have to drive far! but again its safe and reliable and fits us all with room to grow hehe and that what we needed well i need to go the kids are complaining about being hungry so later guys!

homeschooling help....

2009-04-27T09:47:00.007-04:00

WOW its been awhile since my last post MY BAD lol! anyways i have some questions so if you have the answers please send me a comment or email me at mommaof4coolkiddos@yahoo.com

so i have been thinking about homeschooling yet again i say yet again cause i have been thinking about doing it for 4 years now!! but i never do it mostly cause i am lazy and kinda enjoy the peace in the middle of the day when the kids are gone (horrible i know lol) but at the same time i totally miss them and feel like they should be here and i should be teaching them and that i hate the influences at the school from other kids and teachers ya no what i mean!! now Cheyenne REALLY struggles so i do think i should homeschool her cause she needs so much extra help but kyle is so smart its almost ridiculous how smart he is i think i would even go as far as to call him gifted! so i wonder if homeschooling is right for him i mean what if i fail at this and Cheyenne gets worse and kyle falls behind i would feel horrible!

OK anyways the real question i have is what are yalls feelings on sonlight its really expensive but i think something like this would be what i need cause it has everything mapped out and it just looks user friendly ya no so please if you have used this let me know the good and the bad please!

my goal is to save ALL money right now and i mean all i am gonna cut back on soda and no eating out cause i want to be able to afford to buy 3 curriculum's by summer (wow how can i do that pray for me its gonna be hard) i say summer cause i want start in the summer to make sure homeschooling is for me cause if i can't hack it then no harm done i can just enroll them for school when it starts again ya no?? well any advice would be cool thanks guys!

American Idol....

Kris did great as usual i really like kris i would say he is my favorite and i hope he wins!

Lil sucked again i am never impressed with her songs they all sound the same to me and i would not be upset if she left tomorrow!

Anoop was ok i am sure he will be on the show awhile still but i really doubt he will win

Scott for the love of god PLEASE send him home he is horrible i have only liked one song he has sang the entire time he has been on the show and when i say liked i really mean it was OK and i did not feel like blowing my head off when it was over! i mean its awesome hes blind and all and doing something but he sucks!!! sorry its just my opinion!

Allison well i love her but shes a little strange but i still really like her but the song choice was a little tacky for a 16 year old last night lol!

Matt well i really liked his song last night and but normally i can't stand him or his huge moley forehead lol

Adam well i do love Adam each and every week but i really doubt he will win maybe 2ND place??

so who did you like last night???

Seriously......Whats wrong with people???!!!

2009-04-07T12:10:00.007-04:00

Ok so Saturday me and chad took the kids to the base egg hunt cause the kids wanted to go and hey why not its just down the road and its free so we get there and we are both already starting to get a little itchy from all the people everywhere ( we are a bit anti0social lol ) so anyways we find a place to stand and a guy from chads ship and his wife and daughters came come over to talk to us and actually they were pretty cool the wife was from Australia and the guy from chads boat was stationed there when he met her now that would be some cool orders!!! but anyways it was time for us to find a place with all the other hearded cows by the gate to go in the hunt cause kk's age group was about to go in and she did great and got tons of eggs I'm surprised actually cause she went in totally confused but finally got it ;) so onto the reason for my tacky title there were 2 family's standing on both sides of us (friends to go figure) anyways the one lady i swear i almost went off on was telling her probably 9 year old daughter how she needed to take better care of herself cause her hair face and knees looked horrible (she fell) so i turned and glared at the mother with a very unfriendly look and then looked at her very pretty daughter and smiled it was sad really i mean mom looked like CRAP she was not pretty and did not look nice and had no right telling anyone they needed to take care of themselves (ok sorry she was mean and mean people are ugly lol) and then when it was almost time for her daughters hunt she told her remember none of these people are your friends they are your enemies you take everything you can and then the other family on the other side of me said yeah you have to get the prize egg!!! so i said rather loudly who cares its a egg hunt who cares i said that like twice to get my point across and i think i embarrassed chad cause he said something like uhh christy some people are just stupid there is noting you can do about it lol so i told Cheyenne this is just an egg hunt and if anyone of rude or pushes you come back cause some people really have no manners and then they put there kids in front of the line which they egg hunt people said not to do so when Cheyenne tried i told her no we are not gonna cheat lol so Cheyenne got quite a few eggs and she actually got the prize egg but dropped it and that nasty Lady's kid got it grrr but really WHO CARES!!! i mean what was the prize a cheap little dollar store toy ohhh wow! so i forgot to talk about kyle and Cody's hunt kyle and Cody did great but then poor Cody dropped all but 4 eggs and was pretty sad but kyle being the awesome big brother he is gave Cody like 8 or 9 eggs i was so proud of him and then we went and looked at the fire truck we went to the back side of it and checked it out and took pictures cause there was no freaking way i was gonna wait in that huge line!! and since chad is just awesome and stuff he took us to chilies and it was so good it made the whole bad experience just go away lol

2009-03-25T11:35:00.004-04:00

so a few days ago i just happened to stumble across a blog called my charming kids and i just really liked it and then the next time i went on there (yesterday morning) i saw her baby was in VERY bad shape and i have been praying and crying alot for this poor little baby hes Caleb's age and it just really makes me sad so please pray for him!!

silly pictures...

2009-03-12T18:04:00.006-04:00

so as you can see i added a new picture in my blog header and while its super cute i really wish i could have gotten everyone looking at me and smiling but with 5 kids that's really to much to ask for lol here's a few out takes lol oh by the way i updated my other 2 blogs if ya care to check the out ;)

my little cutie getting so big!!

finally he smiles ;)

silly Cody and kyle!

hehehe ;)

silly silly...

this was a pretty good one!

i love this one of Caleb but look at kk's mad face so was so over taking pictures lol

again kk was tired of the pictures hehe

silly kyle making faces!

oh where oh where have i been...

2009-03-10T21:58:00.003-04:00

well that seems to be a popular question lately i never realized anyone really cared lol! but to be honest i have been living life it used to be the first thing i would do in the morning was get up and turn the computer on mostly out of habit since chad was deployed and i wanted to check my email but now that hes been home 5 Mt's i felt i needed to break that habit of always being online cause for one my house has been looking like crap and i have not been being the best wife and mother and that's just not cool!! so i have been turning the computer one around noon after me and Cody and kk eat lunch and i check all the fun places i go real fast (yahoo, myspace, facebook) and then at about 1210 me and kk and Cody and Caleb walk to the park by Cody's school and play for a few minutes and then Cody goes to school and me and kk and Caleb go back to the park for a little bit and chill then after that its back home and the 3 of us put a movie on and lay in bed and kk and Caleb usually nap and i get a little cleaning done (or i nap to lol) and then its time to get Cheyenne and kyle (well Tuesdays and Thursdays Cheyenne goes to a Tudor) then its back home and then we walk to get Cody from school unless its a Tudor day for Cheyenne then we drive and pick Cheyenne up after we get Cody and after that its all really a blur cause the day goes fast theres homework and dinner and baths and chad playing football with the boys and bike rides etc etc etc so yeah basically just life ;) but i will still be updating 1-3 times a week when i get some extra time or just need a break ;) well i better go the laundry is calling my name later guys ;)

its party time...

2009-03-04T19:16:00.002-05:00

The rules for this one are rather simple - you go to your pictures folder and go to the sixth one and then you find the sixth picture and post it.

this is my super cute Kaylee bug the first summer we were in Florida she was about 17 Mt's in this picture the kids were playing in the kiddie pool and she got out to play in the black dirt you should see some of the later pictures where she is covered in mud lol!!

2009-02-25T21:57:00.003-05:00

yeah yeah its been almost a week since my last post but i have been busy and by busy i mean lazy lol! but no really i have been slightly busy Caleb and Kaylee have head colds and they both have pink eye yuck so i have been dealing with that! and then there is my obsessed obsession with quiz's and surveys on facebook while the kiddos are napping lol! so anyways last week chad made a picnic table and a little toddler bed for Kaylee that is super cute i will try to get a picture tomorrow on here so you can see how cool the 2 of them are! i think tomorrow i am also gonna work on getting some stuff done around the house and maybe try to sew some more but i really need to get back to doing my to do lists! well i better go and get to bed cause i was up all night last night with Caleb and i really should be sleeping when hes sleeping later guys!

2009-02-18T10:35:00.004-05:00

OK so cody come running in screaming and crying that a squirrel attacked him so i of course got worried and looked at where it attacked him and sure enough he had 3 small scratches on his ankle and when he finally calmed down he said he want the to the back yard to play on the swing set and a squirrel got scared and ran past him real fast and ran across his foot ...... crazy huh!!

I'm so depressed!!!!

2009-02-13T13:03:00.002-05:00

so this morning me and chad and kk,cody and Caleb go to Cheyenne's awards ceremony at 930am and she got 2 awards so go Cheyenne ;) and then it came time for kyles it was at 1230 or so i thought it was and i am stressing cause chad could not get off work for it and cody has to be at school at 1230 but i took him about 5 minutes early and his teacher said she would just let him hang out with her till class started so that was so awesome of her!! but sadly i get the the school park and sign in and get to the multi-purpose room and its all kindergarteners and i ask a teacher and she said the 1st graders just left theres was at 1200 so i missed kyles and i am so sad cause i missed his last one and i know he probably got every award and had no one to clap and smile at him and he will be so sweet and understanding when i pick him up and that just makes me sadder ;( maybe i will take him to sonics after school for a ice cream ;)
