GREAT JOB TAY TAY!!!!

I just have to brag a second on just how smart my Taylor is. Today came home her nine week progress report. Every one of Taylor's grades has gone up from her last report card. We are so proud of her. In Reading - 94% , in Language Arts - 78% , in Science/Health - 100% , in Social Studies - 99% , and in Math - 92%...GREAT JOB TAY TAY!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, WE LOVE YOU AND ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!

Our family project!!!

I found this kit to make Ginger Bread House's at Food Lion and I thought this would be a great family project. We had a great time putting this together. It tested my nerves a little bit, but I had to remember it was just for fun!! Taylor and Michael were eating all the candy, so needless to say we stopped when we ran out of candy. It was a blast and I hope this can be done every year. 

Funny story

Okay this little girl that I watch ( Kailee ) is the cutest thing. Her and Michael play like their best friends. They can also fight like sister and brother. Well when Kailee gets mad at Michael she call's him " Michael ______" and I have been listening to this for like 2 days now and I don't know what the second word is. So on the way home from pre-school today Kailee is in the front seat and Michael right behind her and he is kicking her seat. Kailee was so upset and out comes her name " Michael ____". So I asked her what are you saying? She said Michael James. I said well why do you call him that...she said because I like that name, and that's what I'm going to call him when I get mad at him "Michael James"...How cute, don't ya think?!?!?!!? I started laughing and said OKAY!! Now if you could hear her southern accent you would let her too!!

Alright well I better go do some laundry or something. Till next time........................................

Christmas is here : - )

Taylor would like me to share with you her tree.
And also some of our christmas decorating. This was also her idea!! Whatever keeps the kids happy right!!!!!! 

Michael's friends

We all know that I babysitt during the day. Well these are Michael's playmates Daniel and Kailee. I have been watching Daniel for 1 year and Kailee for almost 2 months. They all go to the same pre-school too. They love to play togather. 

Silly Kids

 

SPIDERMAN....

Nope, it's Kailee...Taylor was playing with the new camera in the car after school today. More pics to come...hope you like them!! 

An afternoon

This picture is taken with my new digital camera. This is Kailee, Daniel, and Michael playing football in the backyard this afternoon. Now that I have a new camera I will post more... 

Blogger tag...

Okay tag I'm it. Five interesting things about me are:

1. I am gonna go with the even and odd numbers for a second. I have always loved even numbers. My lucky number is 16 which happens to be the day I was married. But everything in my life these days are odd numbers, for instance I have 3 kids and that makes us a family of five. I have 1 sister and 1 brother making us 3. I am going to be 27 in 3 weeks and my husband turned 30 3 months ago...So I guess that odd numbers are okay with me now!!!



2. I was pregnant with Taylor when I was 18 and a senior in high school. When I graduated I was 6 months pregnant. I did not want to go to college, because the idea just scared me to death. I went right to work after high school and I loved every minute of it. I am glad that I did not waste money on college!!! I want to go now so that when all my kids are in school I can go do something I want to do.



3. Most of the people that I know say that I have more patience than anyone they know. But really I don't...I have no patience at all. I used to but now my kids have taken that away from me. I loose my temper so quick and I am very snappy. Mostly with Taylor because I think that she should be old enough to know better, and somethings she is but other times I have to remember she is only 8, not 18!!!!!!



4. My mom will love this, but when I was 15 I was busted by the police at a party for having an alcoholic beverage in my hand. Mike's mom had to come and pick me up because I lied and said that my parents were out of town. I actually was not drinking though I was getting it for a friend when the cops came in and busted me.



5. Even though I say I don't, I would love to have more kids. I would like to have like 5 or 6 kids. I just want them to all sleep through the night from day 1...I want my kids to grow up and all be close with eachother. Rely on one another throught the good times and the bad. I want so many more kids. I can not have any more but I would love to someday adopt. I have wanted to adopt since I was a kid. I want to give some child a better life. I would adopt tons of them and live in a big house with lots of land for them to play...That's what I want some day...

Now to who ever reads this I tag YOU...

Bath time with LeeLee

The Deer

Well poppy who lives next door went hunting last Thursday and this is what he came home with. So on Friday the kids and I went over and watched poppy skin this poor deer. Then watched as he butchered him for his meat. Taylor was surprisingly fond of this deer and wanted to pose with it. As you can see Michael was more affraid!! I thought it would be opposite! They had a good time. Thanks poppy for teaching my kids how to skin and butcher a deer.haha...
