lazy days...

well yesterday ended up being somewhat of a lazy day cause i laid around a lot i was just wore out and not feeling well i think the stress of getting everyone dressed and ready in like 10 minutes way to early in the morning kinda pushed me over the top when we got back home i was feeling OK and i took 3 of my vitamins i take 6 a day wow huh lol i take an omega 3-6-9 (fish oil), i take the bee strong (bee pollen) and i take my prenatals (supermom vits) i actually need to order some more of the supermom ones cause i don't have that many left i also need to order more of the kids vitamins they take some called Nordic berries they are the only all natural one i have been able to get all 4 of them to take and since they are all 4 taking 2-4 a day they run out fast i think on pay day i am just gonna order like 4 bottles so i can save my self the time and shipping of ordering monthly i wish i could do a one stop shopping trip but i will have to go to 2 different online stores to get the vitamins and blah to that cause that means 2 different shipping costs! but oh well life will go on i suppose i could always just get the prenatals from the base but i hate them and would probably die from not getting enough vitamins in my body lol!!
boy yesterday i got rid of a ton of things I'm a little sad about a few things but we have soooooooooooooooooooooooo much junk outside i just could not bear to look at it all anymore i mean after all we don't even play with half of it!! and today i have 2 big paper sacks to get rid of i am not quite sure what i am gonna do with them yet i am hoping Stephanie can come look thru them well if you wants/needs them and after that give the rest to Bianka to send to this orphanage in the Dominican republic either way they will go to a good cause while i should save them in case i have a girl but i just can not stand all this clutter i still have a lot to go thru but its starting to look pretty good in here i must say!! i think today i may go thru my clothes and just get rid of the junk i do not wear or really like any more and that should get a lot out cause really there are only like 10 shirts i wear the other what 30 i could care less about!! and besides i need to make room for a few maternity things anyways i really like these motherhood shorts i got from a yard sale (thanks Ashley lol) so i think sometime soon i may have to go there and buy some more maybe some that will go to my knee cause i really hate showing my thighs not sure why?? maybe cause they are so white yeah thats probably it lol!! well since i did not do much yesterday i am gonna make my to do list a little smaller today and if i get real motivated i will add to it talk to you guys later ;)

Dr. visit today lol...

well a few days ago kyle told me his foot was hurting and i just blew it off cause he gets lots of growing pains and stuff so i told him thats what it was and did not think about it again, well this morning i was waking him up for school and it was taking forever as usual and i was looking at his feet and i noticed one had a lot of "streaks" on the top of it so i made him get up at this point and i asked him which one was hurting and it was the streaky one so here i am pretty freaked out and i really never freak out about this kinda stuff so i rush and make him a Dr's. apt and its in like 20 minutes we are all still in PJ's and kk is still sleeping so we rush to get ready and get there and i look at it a little closer and in better lighting and see thats its just veins and boy do i feel pretty stupid lol but he did have one toe that had a fungal infection (ewww) in it so we got some cream for that so i suppose it was not a total loss but i still felt dumb lol!!! and to top it all off i will not be able to bring the kids to school today cause i can't leave the base till i get new base stickers and i can not do that till chad gets to come home at a normal freaking time so i can get a new id card boy that would be nice but whatever i suppose! this stupid boat is really getting on my nerves i mean we have not been here 1 year yet and its about to go out for 5 Mt's again thats just total BS!!!!!!!! i can not wait for the day chad gets out he wanted to get out this time but some interesting things came up and we had to stay in cause if he would not have been able to find a good job we would not be able to afford to live so to speak but whatever to that to! cause i suppose the navy is not all that bad we have free/cheap insurance and he have 2 paychecks a month but it is sad that chads away from the kids so much he really Miss's a lot!

in other news i finally found my camera yesterday so i can start taking some new pictures now every once in awhile i had been using my phone and it does work well but not near as good as my good camera ya no! also in other news the bee strong i ordered from super mom heath and wellness is still working awesomely lol cause i have had energy galore that past few days of starting it and a funny story about it i was telling chad how i ordered it and it was really helping with my energy ect ect and i was expecting him to make fun of me but no he said really thats cool you no my mom ex husband that i hate (yes i know the one and from story's i hate him to) well he used to always have that and i would eat it all the time cause i liked the way it tasted and i asked well did it give you energy and he said i don't know i was young but it tasted good so that pretty cool that he has heard of taking bee pollen cause before last week i never had!! well i guess i am gonna end this and make my daily to do list ;)

CVS....

well i finally gave cvs a try cause really i wanted to see what all the fuss was about cause i am always reading about how people can get all kinda of stuff free and then money back ect ect ect so i went after we went to jamba juice and i spent 54 dollars i used 16 dollars in coupons i printed last night and then i received like 30 bucks back on my rewards card so really i spent 24 bucks and i got a lot here's the list

1. 2 cvs baby wipes 80ct
2. 5 Excedrin tension headache 24ct bottles (i had 5 $2.00 off coupons so these were free as they were on sale for $1.99 and i got $5.00 back on rewards!!


3. huggies overnights for Cody i had a $1.00 off coupon for these


4. huggies pull ups for lazy days for kk i had a $2.00 off coupon for these


5. 2 Johnson's and Johnson's foam shampoos for the boys i had 2 $1.00 coupons for these

8. 2 biore face products and i got $5.00 back for these in rewards!


9. and 1 bag of m&m's for Cody and kk to share since they were so good!

i also earned 10.00 bucks for spending 25 dollars or more in baby products and thats why i got the diapers and wipes and shampoo! so i must say that is pretty awesome for 24 bucks out of pocket!!!! but then i went back to another cvs cause i really really wanted to get the softskin body wash that was 4.99 and then you get back 4.99 in rewards and the one i went to was out so we drove a few miles down the road to the other one and they were out to ahhhh so i looked around BIG MISTAKE!!!! i spent 45.61 this time and earned 12.00 dollars back so really i spent 33 or so, so still not that bad but was silly of me anyways here's my list from my 2nd cvs trip

1. lays bbq chip $3.49


2. lays reg chips free (b1g1f)


3. crayola super tip markers 20ct 3.99


4. crayola super tip markers 20ct 1.99 (these were b1g1 50% off)


5. crayola sidewalk chalk 3.19


6. crayola colored pencils 1.49 (also b1g1 50% off)

11. Zyrtec for Cheyenne 12.99

so all and all i did pretty good cause really thats a lot of stuff for 33 or so dollars but still a little more then i wanted to spend but i am happy with all the stuff i got and i will totally keep shopping the reward earning products at cvs and now i will also start clipping coupons again cause i could have saved a lot more if i would have had more coupons!!

Jamba Juice

well i did the jamba juice free b-fast today and it was soooooooooooo good i got strawberry chunk and kk and Cody both got a free one also they got blueberry something and we loved them they are pretty expensive on a normal day thou so i doubt we will go often but we will go again cause it was good and left us feeling good to!! so if you missed out on this on that really sucks cause the 3 of us were impressed and the workers there were all so sweet and just nice you don't really get that any where now sadly so i give jamba juice 2 thumbs up ;)

wow!

well as most of you know i have been having zero energy and i mean zero and Friday as i was playing around on the computer i stumbled across a website called supermom (i have it in my links section) and on there i read about a product called bee strong its bee pollen and it talked about how it gave her more energy ect ect so i researched it and since i have no bee allergies its safe to take being pregnant and it came in today (fast shipping thank you very much) and i tried it and about an hr later i already had more energy and i actually even walked to get the kids from school today which i have not done for over a month now cause i am always to tired so i just wanted to let everyone know that if they need some more energy this it the vitamin for you!!!!!

well....

well we got rid of the dog she ended up being a big pain in the butt with all the pooping and barking!!! and while the kids were a little sad they really don't care to much i guess its good we just kept her for a few days! i actually gave her to my neighbor and she is doing great with her she said she is not going potty in the house and not barking to much except outside so that's awesome good for her! and i am glad cause i would hate for have to go to yet another home!!

chads out to sea right now they left today ;( but will be back later on in the week so that's cool except he has duty Sunday the joys of the navy i suppose! but its all good cause while things are always harder when hes gone they are also easier to but we still miss him lots and that can never go away i suppose weather its one day or 6 Mt's!!! we all went to the flea market over the weekend boy its so fun to go there they are over priced on most things but its still fun to walk around and there fresh veggies are so good and cheap!! oh another thing we discovered yesterday was o'charleys lets 2 kids eat free with each paying adult so me and chad got our food and the kids food was free so 4 kids meals free and it was great food so that's our new place it was awesome!!

the kids had to go back to school today ;( kyle was pretty happy he was wanting to see his friends and all that fun stuff but Cheyenne wanted to stay home and sleep in and just chill and i would have rather slept in to lol but summer is not to far off thankfully!! it looks like its gonna be a nice day today the sun is shining and that's cool cause the past few days have been nasty raining off and on all day and stuff!! well i guess i am gonna go for now talk to you all later!

our week..

well i am 10 weeks along now will be 11 on Saturday and things have still continued to go great i still get pretty tired but even that is tapering off some now i have been cleaning and cooking again thank goodness cause for awhile my house was horrible and the kids and i were living on sandwiches and cereal lol but again things are looking up!! i might even pull the Bosch mixer chad got me for Valentine's day and make some pizza crust or bread i have only used it 2 times since getting it and i have wanted this thing for YEARS so i am sure chad would be happy to see me use it considering we paid like 500 bucks for it!! but anyways! i have gained a few pounds all belly i must say all my pants are tight so i am gonna have to go buy some maternity jeans and shorts i guess since i gave everything away after i had kk cause chad did not wanna add to the family at that time but thankfully he has changed his mind and now who knows how many kidlets we will end up with!!

also in other news we got a dog its a little wiener dog shes black and tan and NOT potty trained and barks like crazy and is starting to drive me crazy but we are working with her and have gotten the indoor barking pretty much stopped by spraying her with a vinegar and water mix she does not dig the smell i guess but outside she could care less i guess cause she still barks her head off any tips would be awesome!! i am kenneling her when we leave and when she does not go potty outside and that seems to be working a lot but she still seems to poop a few times and lucky me and Cheyenne always seems to find it by either the horrible smell or from our bear feet awesome huh hahahaha OK well she is not all that bad she like to cuddle and play with the kids and the kids lover her well kk gets mad at her a lot cause she steals her little toys and Cody thinks she is a little to rough but Cheyenne and kyle just love her and chad totally loves her but hes such a dog person so i suppose that is expected!!

so its spring break here in jax, fl and the kids are having a pretty good time we played in the sprinkler yesterday well not kk she was afraid the sprinkler was gonna shoot her she would run to it and get wet and come screaming back it was so cute and funny!! i had planned to actually walk up to the beach today but it ended up not being all that nice it has lightly sprinkled a few times buy mostly just looked yucky and been full of nasty bugs (yuck) we went to Hannah park the other day and Cheyenne caught a fish she was the only one that did lol and it was a little fellow but he at least she got one!! well i guess that's all i got for now later guys!!

8 weeks now....

so i have decided i am just gonna copy and paste my myspace blogs over here from now one since most people go this one anyways ;)

well i am 8 weeks along today and today i am feeling really great but 2 days ago i really was thinking i might just die!!! i threw up like twice a record for me lol and had been sooooooooooo tired but today and yesterday have really been nice and i really really hope things continue to stay nice like this cause being tired and puking all day is no fun!!!! i have an apt comming up next wednesday so that should be fun (yeah right lol) i can’t stand the first appts with the pap and all the dumb little tests and such but oh well life will go on and at least i got my blood work done already cause that is never fun either!! in other news kk is getting so big she pee-peed in the potty 2 times yesterday yep 2 times that was awesome i think it was just luck but we are totally gonna work on it now and with her being so smart i am sure she will pick it right up!! Cody is doing well also just being Cody which is rough and tough which i think some people just don’t understand i mean really i can’t help it if your kids a wimp and can’t handle little Cody i think that’s kinda why i really don’t let people come over any more cause i really don’t want to punish Cody for something i do not think is wrong ya no???? but hey that just me ;) Cheyenne is finally starting to read really good i was kinda worried about her for awhile she is awesome in math but reading she was not but now thanks to www.starfall.com she is doing great!!! i had to go get her some new shoes the other day cause the ones i got her for Christmas and then lost one in february!!! anyways we found them and they are now to small guess what size she is in now...............................................5 WOW huh i was in shock that’s huge!!! but she had a lot more choice’s wearing a size 5 but the downfall for me was they were like 60 bucks!!! but oh well i am sure she will wear these for a long time i mean how much bigger can her foot get i think i wore a 5 in 5th grade not 1st!!! but anyways kyle is always like right behind her school wise hes a little smarty paints!!! but hes kinda taking after me and on the small side lol but i am sure he will start to grow one of these days ;) well i better go and clean while i am feeling good talk to you all later ;)

its been awhile!!!

well its been awhile since i have posted on here and shame on me for that but i have been writing on myspace cause it seems a bit easier for me but i am gonna try yet again to update this blog weekly for the people that don't have myspace ;) well things have been going very very well for our family we have been spending a lot of time together having fun we go on bike rides pretty much everyday and we have all really been loving that well Cody falls a lot cause his bikes messed up but i think for his birthday (2-27) we are gonna get him a new bike! and kk loves her bike trailer its a little hard on the legs when Cody gets in with her but not bad at all with just her!! we went to the zoo over the weekend and had a great time it was Cody and kk's first time ever going to a zoo so they were very happy and Cheyennes first time going since she was 3!! but little kyle just went last month or so on a field trip but he was still pretty excited to be there i took some cute pictures of them there that i will upload tonight so be sure to check them out! also in other news me and chad got matching tattoos well sorta matching i got his name on my wrist and he got mine on his ;) well it is time for me to go get Cheyenne and kyle from school so i better go and talk to you all later ;)
