Aly...Don't fall...

This is happy Aly. She just can't sit back in her swing. She has to be sitting up all the time. So I decided to get out the boppy pillow and she loved it. Until she started to fall back, but even then she still had a smile on her face. She is getting so big already I can't beleive it. Well any way till next time... 

Poor Bubba

After Pre-school today I let Bubba ride his 4 wheeler. He went down by the road where he's not supposed to be. I was watching him and all of a sudden he got to close to the rocks at the end of our driveway and he flipped his 4 wheeler right over and it landed on top of him. He is okay other than the bump on his eyes. He wanted me to take a picture to show daddy but ya know I had to post it to show everyone. Well we came in and ate lunch and Bubba is actually taking a nap.
Hope fully this has tought him a lesson. Do ya know what he said to me when he got up and stopped crying?? He said " But I was wearing my helmet". So innocent. Well I have more to share while everyone is napping so I'll be back... 

I love my kids soooooooo much!!...

AAHH, my kids. Aren't they so beautiful!! THANKS MORIAH!! For my family who wants to order a picture just let me know what you want and I'll get it!! My photographer is Moriah Edmonson ( Yes, Aly's god mother) Take a look at her web site www.cmstudiophotography.com These are the best pictures you will ever look at. You all know that already from my previous pictures!! Till next time...

Coop...

This is Coop. He came over to play with us on Friday. The boys were eating lunch and when I looked back this is what I saw. I just wanted to share this handsome dirty little boy with ya'll!! Don't ya just wanna pinch his cheeks??  

The Bachelor

Did you watch the bachelor last night?? It was great!! I knew after Travis' last date with Moana that Sarah was gonna win. I was so EXCITED!! That's who I was rooting for...And I was also rooting for Drew and Cheryl on Dancing with the stars, I even actually voted!! Yeah a moment of silence for me and I was voting for reality TV...I am a nerd!! Till next time...

I WANNA SCREAM!!!...

I just feel the need to scream today. Michael is out of control and my patience is at ZERO!!! He has been telling me that his throat hurts, so I took him to the doctor today and it's just viral but she gave him something for the pain. Well I gave it to him and it says on it may cause drowsiness...Yeah right, I put him down for a nap at 1:30 and guess what as of right now 4:05 he's still up. What the heck......I was so ready for him to take a nap because he has not listened to me all day. Wow I am so tired today and my son can't behave. Daniel the little boy I watch is so good for me, listens, follows directions. Why can't my son do that. Now in one hour he is gonna be so exhausted and when it's time for bed he'll still be wired. Is this day gonna end?? Can I keep my patience long enough, we'll find out...Till next time...

Rambling on......

Wow, I feel like it was such a busy weekend. I can't remember what we did Friday Night. Then Saturday well I think we just piddled around the house, did some grocery shopping and went to Taylor's last Cheerleading game. Then Taylor's friend Meghan came home with us. Michael's friend Eric had come over too. I made a pizza for dinner, then after that they had some ice cream. I took Eric home. Later the girls watched a movie and had popcorn!! I played Trouble with them after I put Michael to bed and we had so much fun. Then it was off to bed for me. And lets thank Aly now because she is finally starting to sleep through the night. She goes to bed at 8:30 or 9:00 and doesn't get up till 4:30 for 5:00am. That's a great night for us. Then she lays back down till usually 8am. This is AWESOME!! Getting up at night is getting old. Then yesterday we went to church. Michael's pre-school sang during church and he did such a great job. Michael were laughing the whole time because he couldn't find us, so he was waiving to anyone who was waiving to their child. He did some of the hand movements and he was singing. It was just so cute. Brought tears to my eyes. It's at time like these where I learn how big he is getting. I can't believe how much my kids are growing. Aly rolled over Sat. night for the first time from her stomach to her back. THAT WAS SAD!! Even the baby is growing!! It was also so exciting. I think more for Michael, because he saw her roll over and now he thinks she's big enough to play in his room with him. He's so cute. Next weekend Taylor has her awards banquet. I will be a crying mess!!!! Well Aly is now calling for me. It's time to eat and for those of you who have seen her she doesn't miss a feeding and they only last like 3 minutes. Yes that's how long ( or short ) it takes her to down a bottle. Any ways till next time...

Our afternoon...

This is Taylor, Michael, Alyssa, Adrian, and Daniel watching TV after a long day at scool, playing outside, and a whole lot of snacks!! Well you can't see Aly but she is behind Taylor. Well now I have shown you our whole day and on another day I will show you our evening because Moriah is taking pictures of the kids tonight!! The first time all three of my kids will have a professional picture togather. I can't wait. Till next time... 

Toes, toes, and more toes!!!!!!

 

CRAZY BOYS!!!!

I just wanted to share with you our morning. Michael, Mason, Daniel, and Coop all decided to take a bathing suit bath. They are all so silly!!! Of course we use this time to learn our colors. We started with red, then we put in yellow and poof now it's orange. They love the food coloring and the best part is that it doesn't stain their skin at all!! Any way just wanted to share with you.  

Daniel

This is Daniel the little boy that I watch. Isn't he so stinken cute??? Just thought I would share him with ya'll. Talk to ya soon! 

I have wonderful friends!!

I used to wonder when we first moved to NC how long it would take to make new friends and if we made new friends would they be truly friends. Well I knew as soon as I met Karen we would be life long friends. That was a good thing considering she lived right above us in the apartment we lived in when we first moved here. Then we bought a house and moved to our new house but we still talk on the phone all the time and see each other when our kids aren't making us run after them. When we moved here we both had one kid. Now between the two of us and 6 years later we have 7 kids. Funny ha...Any ways then we moved to Sherrills Ford where we have met the BEST people. We live in a neighborhood full of kids and friends. Well my reason for all this is because yesterday I was not feeling very well. Around 4 am I went to the ER with stomach pain. They sent me home and said it was menstrual cramps. Well I babysat and had my day as usual until around 1 in the afternoon. Then my pain started coming back really strong like it was before. So I called my friend Julie because I watch her son Daniel and I was supposed to watch her other son Adrian after school and told her that I needed to go back to the doctor. My other friend Tonya works for Julie now and they were talking and said ok we'll be there in 15 min. Literally they beet the bus here that came 5 min. after talking to Julie on the phone. Then all of a sudden my house was packed. Julie, Tonya, and Amanda were here. Amanda took Taylor and Michael to her house and Tonya took Alyssa, Daniel and Adrian along with her two boys to her house. That left Julie and she was not letting me go to the doctor by myself, so she drove me. And of course Moriah was calling ( because her boys were napping) to make sure everything was ok, also willing to do what she could to help. Well I made it to the doctor and everything was okay. Just a Cyst on my ovary that burst. Nothing major. But I want to thank all my friends for being there for me and taking such good care of my children and me until Mike got home. And by the way he left work also as soon as I called him. I truly am blessed to have such great people in my life who care about me and my family so much!!! Thanks again to everyone who was concerned even my mom and dad. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Bubba and Aly

These are just some snap shots from earlier tonight. Aly is getting so big. She almost rolled over tonight but that stupid arm was in her way!! Michael well, just being Michael. Can you see the devil?!?!?!? 

Marchelle came to visit with us last week. It was so nice to see her and the kids really enjoyed her. Michael asks everyday if Shell is coming back. He misses her alot. She went with us to Taylor's cheerleading practice and Aly fell asleep on her. Now Aly doesn't fall asleep on anyone not even me so ya know she must have felt so comfy with her. Then I just threw in this picture of Tay Tay and Bubba because I like this picture. Michael has this thing about taking pictures lately. He wants me to take pictures of him doing everything. Who knows why. Lets hope he cooperates tomorrow when we have pictures with Moriah at the studio...Yes mom that's tomorrow and Alyssa's pics will be here soon too!!! Not that your bugging me just thought I would let ya know.

Do ya ever go to the grocery store and spend like $200 and come home and realize that you didn't even get everything you needed. I did that this weekend. I got lunch meat for Mike to make sandwiches for lunch and I didn't buy anything to go with it, no chips, no cookies, no nothing. Now I have to go back to the store and get that, then while I'm making my new list it just keeps growing and growing...Ha, does it ever end????

We went to have our taxes done this weekend...I hate tax time even though you get money back, I hate preparing to have them done and then waiting to see how much you get back. Were not getting as much as we wanted but I'm not complaining because we almost had to pay. This is the first year we almost had to pay. Thank god we don't and were getting a good amount back. Well I think so but Mike is upset still. I know when the check comes though he'll be happy...

So I was actually excited to watch the Daytona 500 this past weekend and I WAS SO UPSET that Jimmy Johnson won. I don't like him and he cheated and still got to race. Oh well I won't watch many of the races till the end any way. Well I think that's it for tonight. I have a few pictures to post and then off to bed for me. Till next time...
