His 9th Birthday is Coming up to Quick!

May Evan would of been 9 years old this year in May which is coming up way to soon. I have been a mom for almost 9 years. Do not ask me why I am Missing him more today then most days but I am. What would he of looked like? What would he sound like?( I already do not remember his voice)And of course wow would he of love his little brothers as much as we all do? These are my questions to God. I heard my favorite Dixie Chicks song again today on my ITunes and it is called God Speed. Well The whole song makes me miss My little man and the whole thing is perfect for how I feel. Latley the Twins have discovered Matchbox cars andI admit that is really hard because that is what Evan lived for. His Cars! So today while Quentin was playing with this car I was over whelmed with emotions. Good and bad! But I will leave you with the last verse of God speed.

God Bless Mommy and Matchbox cars.

God bless Dad and thanks for the stars.

God hears Amen where ever we are.

And I love you.

God speed little man

Sweet dreams little man

Oh my love will fly to you each night

on angels wings!

God speed

Sweet dreams

The weird part is this pic looks like his hands. The boys both have so many of his features and personality traits. Sorry If I made you all down and out but sometimes writing about it helps. I will feel better soon. Just getting through my day.

And we still have 6 days left.

This is gonna be short I will post again later. So far the grand total on Gril Scout Cookies sales are 306 and we still have 6 days of selling left. Today we have a few more friends that want to visit and Steve took another blank sheet to work because he already filled one in and had not hit his shop yet. Also our friends dad took a sheet to work because nobody at his work was selling so I will post the grand grand total in 6 days who wants to bet we hit 400! :0

The scary part of that is I get to deliver all of them and that is really scary.

Have a good day I will post later.

My Poor Baby!

Well Zachary has been acting funny the past couple of days. He has been real quite and acting real clingy. Both boys have really bad allergies and there noses are always a little running. It nothing contagious just clear mucus that has no where else to go but out. In fact they have only been sick one time this year so far. Compared to last year when they were hospitalized almosts 2 twice a month. I am so happy to say that. In fact my house as been pretty healthy all the way around. :) I really wish that their noses would not run though. I keep my house fairly cool because the germs can not live in cool invirorments. The aleregy specialist told me that the warmth is what will cause the boys to keep getting sick because the bacterias can multiply in the warm temps. The Doctor we see for their allergies also said as long as the stuf in their noses comes out clear there is no infection to pass on. So anyways back to Zach and his weird behavior I assumed it was just his allergies making him a little blah but I thought it would be a good idea to check his teeth. And what do you know! He has not 1 folks but 3 molars that have already broke skin. He has not been crying or running a fever or any of the normal stuff that babies do when they cut teeth. I guess I am super lucky that I did not have to deal with that huh? That explains the lack of appatite and the clingy ness. Aren't they in a little early I thought they got molars around 2? I do not remember.

And not only that, he has learned a new little habbit. In fact everytime I turn around this is what I see so I had to take a pic this morning when I ran across him with this look.........

HNT

I think this is how you do Half Nekkid Thursday.
I know bathtub pics are a no no but this one is cute and the completley nude ones are a no no but i will take lots more HN ones.

She has met her goal!!!!!

Each girl from the Brownie troop had to set a goal for the amount of boxes they wanted to sell and they all picked 100 each and Emmy started selling on Saturday. She has offically gone above and beyond 100 I have not counted since 110 and that is not counting what her Dad has done for her and she has not even finished hitting up the family and friends. She is so proud of yerself. She still has a week and a half to go.

Here is a picture of her and a long time friend of mine. This was her first door to door sale. I actually was little choked up they grow up so fast huh?

Busy Busy Busy Weekend!

Well this weekend was busy busy busy! Sat. We went to A birthday party for Kylee she turned one and on sunday we went to a party for Savannah my cousin. Below is a Picture of her and her boyfriend. She turned 15. I still am not sure where that 15 years went but it is gone and I am feeling old. I will post more later but the boys just woke up and are yelling to get out of bed.











One more important thing today is Crystal's Birthday so .....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA! HOPE YOUR DAY IS FULL OF JOY AND MAYBE THE BIRTH OF YOUR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER. WE WILL CALL LATER.

Well tonight we went to our first Brownie meeting. Emmalee was so excited. Nothing happened it was more for the parents then for the girls tonight. We had to sign some consent forms and agree not to start selling cookies before Sat.

So Sat. the cookies selling starts but it will not start here until Monday because she is going to her daddies this weekend. She plans on hitting him up so we will see.

Steve and TiTi said they would take them to work for her. That is good because each girl had to set a goal and her goal was 100 boxes. I thought that was a little much but the leader said that happens so fast because most people buy more than 1 box at a time.

She has been practicing her door speech all evening and I think she is ready. My little brownie from troop 899 is on her way to meeting her goal. So all of you out there who have a brownie or girl scout come to your door think of Emmy and buy a box. They are 4$ a box and it is for an awsome thing.

Once we get her vest and troop patches I will post some pics. I need to find somebody who knows how to sew because that is not me.

What I wish For in life!

A life time of love is what I wish for. Last night we had our ladies night out and I will tell you about that in a minute, but first this little story k.

We went to a little bar that we always go to to do kareoke last night and Every time a slow song (even a couple of good lounge tunes with a little beat)was sang or played this couple would get up and dance. First thing, they were amazing dancers. The man always had a smile on his face and they just looked so happy together.

So I have dicided that one of my main goals in life is to grow old with Steve and when we are as old as this couple still have the rich and beautiful love that this couple showed last night. They just seemed to go together like we as a whole society are not used to. It is so refreshing to see love so strong. I had to take a few pics of them and share them with you since I did promise a lot of lovin' this month that is dedicated to love.

They really made my night a little better then it was already which was a freakin' blast. Now on to that, but one last thing. Sir and Mame I thank you for a hopefully glimps into the future of a couple who promises to love for better and worse and through sickness and in health. May God continue to bless you in the ways he has already done and thank you again for adding to a wonderful night.


I did not take any pics of us girls but Trisha did and they will be posted on her blog in a day or two so if you want to see then make sure to head over to her sight.

We got there when they started and sang our usuall selection and a whole bunch of new ones. We had more fun then we have had in a long time. We met a new lady and we really liked her and had a great time with her and will for sure include her in our future plans. There were six of us all together and we also danced with some older men and I mean older like 60 + . Us girls laughed and talked and had a blast. We stayed way longer then planned but we made friends with the K.J. and hung with her the rest of the night. Well hopefully we will be doing this kind of stuff in the future months it was very much needed. Thanks ladies for joining me and we will meet up again next month.

Ladies night out ! :)

This is an old picture but one of my favs of my SIL and myself. You see we used to go out a few times a month to kareoke at our favorite place FRANKS! and it was so much fun. Then the twins came along and my life changed and so did hers we both bought houses and we are both consumed with Wife and Mom duties.
So we have made plans for Saturday to go out for a ladies night out. The lady who lives next door might go with us and I told Trisha to invite her sister. You see we all have kids and we all need some adult Mommy time so we are going to take off for a few hours while the honey's take care of the kids. The good thing is the singing does not start until after 9 so all the kids are asleep by the time we leave so The guys have it easy. :)
We have been talking about once a month having a ladies game night/movie night/ cocktail at one of our houses to just relax and let the guys have a poker night once a month as well. I think it is a good idea. We all need a little Me time right?
Well I hope all is well with you all. My boys are sick so I have been super busy. Wish me luck that they will be getting over this stuff soon. Have a good day.

Well I did it!

Emmalee's teacher asked us if we were intrested in putting her in the brownies. I was interested and started asking questions about how much weekend participation was needed and she said not much because one of the leaders lives pretty far away. So we asked Emmy and she was so excited. I filled out the paper work today and we wrote a check for 10$ and it is 10 dollars month. I think that is a pretty good deal. All she needs for a uniform is a vest and then they wear regular clothes.
The good thing is that the meetings are on tuesdays at her school which is 2 blocks from our house and I will only have to drop her off and pick her up. There is not alot of room for the parents.
I already know both of the troop leaders so I feel safe with her being with them.
I will keep you all posted and take lots of pics. I will make it a pint to go to some of the meetings and take pics of her and her friends earning thier badges.

I have been tagged!

Here are the rules.

The first person of this game starts off with the topic (FIVE WEIRD HABBITS ABOUT YOURSELF)

After you have been tagged you must state the rules clearly and then choose 5 more people to do it. You then must leave a link to each of thier blogs and leave them each a comment saying you have been tagged. Do not forget to tell them to read yours.

So here I go.

1.I Lysol my entire house with the spray at least once a week. I am kind of a germa fob when it comes to that.

2.I am terrifed of the dark. So much that when I am walking through the house at night I have to turn on every light in front of me and when I am returning I turn them off and walk super fast as I go so I am not in the dark. I have even sat in a parking lot crying hystarically because my tire was flat and it was dark and I did not know what to do and was to afraid to walk anywhere.

3.I constantly check my kids ears and nose to make suer they are clean . my mom says I am like a mother ape.

4.I can not and will not take a shower unless there is another adult in the house. I am afraid somebody will be waiting for me and kill me when I get out or something I can sit in the shower and almost see it happening. I also do this while driving and I see me having an accident and I see every thing the emt's the coroner all of it. Sick huh? I hate to drive.

5. I will put in a C.D. in the stereo and it will be a broadway musical and I will walk around the house singing and dancing with the kids. I know way to many songs to broadway musicals.

Time for some Lovin'

Well I am sure by the looks of my blog now you can tell what time of the year it is. So this is my Honey and the man I love and am planning to marry. He is an awsome person, man and Daddy. I am so thankful for him being in my life and the llife of our children.
I will not stop posting about my fam this month but I would like to dedicate my blog to love this month until valentines. I hope you join me.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend I will be thinking of clever things to do on my blog this month. If you have any ideas I would not mind.
The picture above was not only our first trip to vegas but my first trip to vegas and it was a blast.
Well go give your Honey a big kiss and remember how much you guys love each other every day.
I do believe you should remember everyday of every month but most people remember this month more then norm.

Make it stop!

I am fighting a migrane thanks to the doctor I have great meds for that, but hey make me a little sleepy and lazy. Usually I have been getting them during that time of the month and I think that is it or I will get them when I have just done to much and I think that is part of the problem. Maybe a combo of both. Here is what I have been doing since Monday.
cleaned out our bedroom closet
sorted through every stitch of clothing in our closet
went through all of our bedroom drawer and sorted through clothes.
I came up with 2 trash bags of old clothes that is not used any more.
I was up till about 12:30 am doing that because I can only do that when the twins are asleep.
I cleaned out the front hall closet that hold all of our 460 DVD'S and now my big brother can come and look to barrow and not have to worry about it being to crowded.
I cleaned out the middle hall closet
I finish the laundry well I am never really finished I got caught up by doing at least 10 loads over 3 days and now I have to go again I do a load a day in order to stay on top of things.
Went through Half my kitchen cabinets and cleaned out but still have about 6 to go through and those are the worse ones.
cleaned my living room 5 million times.
dusted my room
cleaned out the night stands
cleaned out my daughter room and finished organizing her Christmas stuff
exchanged the last of the Christmas stuff.
went grocery shopping
and did the boys room.
it might not seem like a lot but in the midst I was still cooking dinner, washing dishes, making lunch, making breakfast, then cleaning the mess after each meal with the boys and tending to the twins which both are walking and are trying to constantly kill each other over toys. Changing poppy pants, giving baths. And sweeping and vacuuming daily.

I still have to finish the kitchen cabinets
dust the living room
the bathroom and then keep up what I already did

In the middle of this I chased around the twins and got Emmy off to school and started my monthly. :0
So I have been wearing my shirt that say MY BATTERIES ARE DEAD
and believe me that is so how I feel. So sure enough while laying down watching the best show on t.v. The Biggest Loser I started getting one of my bad headaches it lasted all night keeping me up so I am super tired plus the pills for my headaches causes me to be a little sleepy.
Maybe I am a little overwhelmed.
It never stops. The laundry the toys the dishes and then just trying to re organize it is just hard.
Sorry for complaining but sometime this helps relive a little of the built up stress. And of course sitting here am getting nothing done however I am resting.:)
Well the boys are waking up from there nap and I need to go BUT..........
Before I finish my rant I do want to say a HUGE congrats to my beautiful niece who passed her driving test yesterday and now has a driver license. Who we are all getting old and it seems to be happening way to fast for my liking I looked at my hair yesterday and I have so much gray that I think it is time for another dye job I did it 2 or 3 months ago because there was a few but now there are twice as many.

I have a couple of things to post!

When did she start thinking she was a fashion godess? I am not sure but. She will see somebody wearing a cute outfit and tell me she wants an outfit like that and if it is appropriate I do not mind. So Santa brought her the boots and lots of jeans and stuff then she had to add the beanie and scarf thinking she looked oh so cool. Then she says" Mom now you have to take a picture of this outfit." I think she looks adorable but is to much huh? She loves to be into the fashion she also likes to look at magazines and she looks at their clothes and shoes not the articles. Maybe this is a sign of what she will grow up to be " a fashion designer" I can hope this turns out to be for the best right? She makes me laugh. I encourage her to a point I do not think it hurts anybody for her to be like this she does not take it to an extreme and that whole outfit came from WALMART! The boots where from Target but the out fit cost less then 25 dollors including the scarf and hat and gloves that match. I will not shop at those expensive stores she grows to quick and I have 4 kids. duH? I am not a fool.And most of her clothes come from birthdays and christmas which are about 6 months apart so I like that. I am so excited to see her grow into a little lady but at the same time I am nervous. I look at my niece who just turned 17 and I wonder if that time went by so fast then so will this. I plan on cherishing every moment to the highest. She is turning into a beautiful little girl and I am proud of her. She loves school and strives to do her best daily. (Gosh I could not ask for more a fashionable yet smart kid that is great.LOL!) Really, my oldest niece is that way a straight A student and still very fashionable and fun andwell behaved. I would love to continue raiseing Emmy the way I am now and keep her on the this same page. I would be happy if Emmy turned out as good as Becca has.I pray daily she does not fall into the wrong group of friends and I know she is young but now a day kids start acting out younger and younger.

Now Thought Number 2! My honey I LOVE HIM! He is a bit of an EBAY addict. He found a site on there where he can purchase Jerseys of all sorts for as low as 10 $ to as much as 50$ they are authinic and stiched not ironed on and they are nice they will have a small flaw in them sometime that is undetectable so they can not go for full price and I started to clean out our closets the other night and HE HAS 30 DAMN JERSEYS! I honestly do not mind at least he is not spending it at some titty bar or at a bar period. We never go without infact we are probably a little spoiled over in our home. I actually find it funny so here is a picture of about 25 of them and My Honey I asked him if he wanted to roll around in them and he kindly declined.
I Love you sweetie and can not wait to get the new one you just bought for me. (Yes I know have two of my own. :)

Our new Favorite toys yeah!

GOD BLESS THE INVENTOR OF

THE BOUNCY BALL!

My boys sure are thankful.:)

Qur day at the park!
