My Big SIS!

Ok I feel the need to address my sister coming and helping me out as I needed surgery and was not sure how long I would be out of it. She came the day before and kinda walked in my shoes not to full capacity, but enough that she knew what she needed to do. (you see my sister does not have any children so we figured this was a good science experiment for her) LOL we love you. So I left early in the morning and Steph had to get up early and get the kids up early, get dressed, get breakfast, brush their teeth, and hair. then don't forget your backpack's and your shoes. Get into the van and take them to school. Well I think she did a pretty good job and of course my kids had the fear of the devil telling them if they were bad terrible things would happen to them..LOL She brought coloring books and crayons smart move no fights over crayons they each had their own. She help with dishes and fixing the dinners for us. I am happy she came down to spend time with my children so that they have a chance to bond with her. I am very happy she is my big sis and that she is still willing to take care of me from time to time. My kids love her and I know she loves them. I look forward to the next couple of holidays spending them with you all. Oh ya and did I tell you the perks of being sick are the pretty flowers you get.. Check them out. Thank you to my mom and my sister for getting me those pretty bouquets.

Desitin Friend or Foe?

She almost has the look of what did I do?


Savannah our little angel has done it again. This time instead of it being fecal matter she chose to use what helps with fecal matter rashes. DESITIN I opened her bedroom door this afternoon and there she was,as she quickly hands me the almost gone squeezed to death desitin tube and then says "mommy mommy look at me" Ya I see you baby you got your hair did and then you decided to get cleaning on the kitchen and play with toys very cute. Stay right there let mommy get a picture of your pretty doo.

Look ma my tooth is bending.

Mom: oh really!
Katelynn: Yes See look back and forth the tooth moves.(she is moving it forward and backwards with her tongue)
MOM: um mm ewe looks cool be careful not to hurt your mouth
at this point I just wanted the show to stop eeeew!! I would catch her doing it and turn the other way around. Then to my surprise I get a "MOM MY TOOTH CAME OUT".. "Wow and look mommy there was no blood".. LOL "Great well you should hold on to it so that the tooth fairy can come and take the tooth"; I say. "Oh and did I forget to mention he sometimes leaves things like money under your pillow". Then Katelynn says, "But mom I want to take it to school and show my friends how cool it is". "OK" "but if you lose it the tooth fairy will be disappointed". "Ok I will be very careful", so a couple of days go by and we were eating gooey popcorn yummo and she runs into the bathroom and when she came back my princess says "mom I think I swallowed my tooth" "O NO are you sure honey are you positive." "ya I felt a hardness in my throat" Well I guess that is one less tooth the tooth fairy will have to find (this I am thinking to myself) LOL!!! Mind you this was her second tooth in one week... Here are some really cute pics of katelynn my new tooth less wonder. Love you babe
Ok so she looks a little demonic LOL she just loves her hat and pulling her hair out the dang middle section I believe daddy taught her that dang trick...she was playing like she was in a rock band.. LOL gotta love katelynn...

Afghanistan Patrol!

James is my HERO! He is so brave to go and do these things in a foreign country not knowing what could happen to him, and the fact that they have to rely on each other to stay alive at times. SCARY!!! He said they had to go 10miles an hour to watch for IED's and mines that are in the ground. HMMM!!! That would make for a very long trip. We love you and love what you are doing for us. Keep up the good work.

Goodnight to you all and good luck!

I did It!!

YEAH!!! I finally did it. Out of pure boredom and this dang insomnia I finally figured out how to get one of those cute pages on my blog. Yippee! I thank my friends and family who tried or who were willing to explain it to me over and over again,but dang it I did it without y'all help so neener neener...

Picture Day Part 2

OK so I have to say that Katelynn was thrilled to be able to wear her super hero shirt, and Like I said I felt vindication on my end (got to do her hair), but then the school calls and proceeds to tell me that they have to wear their uniforms. "What none of the slips said that". "Oh all right" I go to the school and there is Katelynn sitting there looking kinda sad I can only imagine her thoughts of dang I can't show off my super cool shirt. Then when I handed her the button up she looks up at me and says" mommy can I wear this over my shirt" I look at Gloria behind the counter and she smiles at me "sure she can"... I saw my little girls eyes widen as she put her button up over her shirt and low and behold you could still see her super hero's. I think she felt much much better knowing that it was still there like it protected her from the bad guys or something like that. Austin on the other hand could care less.LOL I love it being a mom is so much fun and so confusing at times...
