Favorite Foto Friday

Quentin was just hanging with the guys last Sunday. I am joining Marylandmommy in this fun friday activity and I will start looking in my photo archives when I get back.Hope everybody has a good weekend and I will be leaving for vac in a few hours.

I know you will probally say...

That I am blowing this out of proportion and I am so just let me kay.

For about a year now Emmy has been complaining of stomach pain. I have blown it off as attention seeking and a million other things well lately she has been complaining a lot more, during weird times like while we are out and having fun never at bed time or to try and get out of something. Well yesterday the school nurse called me and informed me I needed to come get Emmy. She was having bad stomach pains and needed to come home.

I went and got her then made her an appointment with her new Dr.. (which was my Dr. And Evans Dr.) When we got there she asked her a million questions about her home life school her dad and everybody around her. This was to eliminate the stress factor. Once that was eliminated she felt around her tummy and decided that test needed to be ran.

Off to the X-ray department for abdominal films, then to the lab for 5 viles of blood and a pee test and a stool test to do at home. Now the Blood work grabbed a hold of my heart and ripped. She has never had them done before and she was terrified. I cried with her and just held her when we were done then off to home we go.

After she fell asleep I went in her room to turn her t.v off and her fish tank light off. I looked over at her sleeping so peacefully and realized I am not ready for bad news. This all has to be O.K. My heart has not healed from my son passing. I need her here with me I need her to grow up and get married and make me a grandma I need her to graduate high school. I lied in her bed and began to cry. Cry like I have not cried in a long time and basically begging god to let this be something small. I am sure it is but my mind can not help but wonder. I love my baby girl more then I can describe. When I look at her I see her future, and that is how it should be.

Those of you who pray please pray this is nothing and those of you who just hope and give out thoughts please do that. I know I am worried for nothing but with the fact that the Dr. Who saw her was Evans Dr. And I have not been in a X-Ray room since before he died and To walk into that room and watch another one of my kids laying there getting x-rays was more then my mind could process.You think that you have pushed these memories back out of your head then they just pop out and take hold.I have not had to hold one of my kids down in a lab for blood work in a long time as well with the twins they always made me leave the nicu. it just made me remember him and miss him and remember the pain and problems he had so yes I have cried through the typing of this post and I will be like this the rest of the day or until we hear from the Dr. On Friday.

Posting is easier then talking to somebodyI do not have to worry about crying and just sounding stupid so if you made it through this post thank you for listening and being here it helps.

We will be leaving tomorrow and finding out the results also I will post from Idaho because we have the internet where we are staying talk to you soon sorry again for being so emotional just to many memories .

Almost ready for Friday!

Well Friday we are headed for Idaho for all of spring break. We are going to Visit Steve's Brother and Sister -n- law and their new Baby Girl. We are all so excited.

The hard part has been preparing everything. I am packing for 6 people a 1 1/2 day road trip and our stay and ride back.

I only have to pack for Steve now. He wears his clothes to work so tonight I will wash the last load of laundry :) and pack him up. I will only have left the food for the road trip and the little things like phone chargers and battery charger for my Camera. We all know I can not forget that.

For those of you wondering the Trip to get the boys' hair cut went well. They are back to looking like little clean cut men instead of two raga muffins.:)

After the hair cut we went to Watch Steve play in a big softball tournament and he had a lot of fun doing that.

I am Felling a Little Selfish this weekend!

But I had a blast and I am super tired.

Friday I went and participated in a yard sale and Sat. morning as well. I made a really good amount and had a blast doing it with friends.

Then I spent all and I mean all of my profit at the....

Scrapbooking party I went to Friday night. Opps! We were able to make a little 7x7 page with 3 pics we were told to bring and then we were conned out of alot of really awsome products.

:)

My Honey loves me and let me splurge. Then.....

Sat. We had to run to a city about an hour from here to buy some stuff or our trip to Idaho that is in less then 5 days from now.:0 what to do I am nervous and excited.

Finally on Sat. Night the friends and Family that steve plays poker with on Sat. night wanted me to go since Steve wanted to stay home and rest because of the softball tournament he is playing in today. So I went and all be I almost one and I had never played adn I cought on quick and thought it was so much fun I want to go back wvery once in awhile. Maybe steve and I will have to switch off.

Now to start preparing for out road trip. I am am taking the Twins to get their hair cut and I have to do it alone. That should be fun huh? I will let you know if I come back bald from pulling my own hair out. I hope yoi all had as much fun as I did this weekend I will be postind before we leave for a week and a half almost.

We can feed ourselves!

Daddy decided to let Quentin feed himself spegg. of all things. isn't he pretty.
And Zachary can do it with the spoon aren't they getting big?

HHNT

HAPPY HALF NEKKID THURSDAY!

My honey is gone and I was trying to....

Save some time by throwing all three kids in the bath at the same time. Emmy likes to take showers now that she is older and towards the end of the boys' bath I let her turn the shower on. Come to find out the Twins think it is quite exciting. They just stood there and let the water run over there heads.

QUENTIN

ZACHARY
Emmy finally figured out how to put her towel on her head like we all do and don't you just love her jammies for the night.

Poor Baby!

He has not need a breathing treatment in about 3 months and he got this cold that is making itself around and it hit him super hard. we are back up to 2 stroid treatments a day and 1 to 2 asthma treatments. He will get better I just feel bad for the poor baby.

Isn't the pic of him with the annoyed look funny! He is even taking the treatments like a super big boy by putting the tube in his mouth.:)

I did it I did it!

Well I finally did my load of whites. I think that the load of white is the load I dread the most and I finally did it. I usually wait till we have no more socks to do this load but Not only did I wash them but I took them out of the dryer and folded them, matched every sock that could be matched then but them away!

Does anybody else besides my SIL Trisha hate doing whites.Would like to know I am not the only whites hater:) that does not sound good does it. well I am talking laundry and you all know that.

Hope all is going well out there.I need to get some house work done cause all the kids are asleep. talk to you soon.

Our Weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Well the Weekend plans changed a little because it was freezing and raining outside we diecided to go find some snow. Which was not hard to do. The snow level droped down to 1500 feet this weekend. Friday night I mad dinner and then made a kick butt dessert. I made cinnimon crips chips with a scoop of vanilla ice creamin the middle of them and then drizzled the Ice cream with carmel. The girls loved them so much. They both said it was the best dessert they had ever had. :)After Dessert we watch Zathera whick was super cute then On Saturday we drove up to the local mountains and let them have at the snow.

As you can see it was FREEZING COLD but lots of fun! There are other pics on my Photo Blog as well
I tried so hard to get pics of all four but hte boys were so destracted that the only good one were of the girls. But as you can see I tried.

The Boys liked to look at the snow But as soon as they touched it they screamed.
Here is Taylor Posing for the camera.The cool thing was that it started snowing while were up there. Don't you love her new glasses we do! I think they make her look so much older. Emmy cried a little because she got to cold. In one of these pics she went to throw a snow ball and she droped it and it hit her in the face. What a dork! The big clump of snow went straight on Steve. HEHEHEHE! When we were done here we all had some candy from there shop up there and then we had a big cup of hot apple cider which is fresh and then came home and attempted to watch Harry potter but we were to tired.
Then Sunday after church which I must say was an awsome service we went out to eat and to run a couple of errands.Then us girls decided to have a girls day out and we went to the movies. I always enjoy have it be just me and the girls. They decided on a little bit of a chick flick too. We went and saw Aquamarine, the one about the mermaid. All you moms with girls the same age as mine I recomend it. It really had a good moral and an intresting ending not the typical one. After the movies I took the girls to the park to take some pics. We could not go to the botanical gardens cause it was way to wet in fact towards the end of pics it started to rain. We had to run to the car.


Well we had a great weakend. I always look forward to the next one we have together as a family. I hope all of you had a good one too. My Brother Trisha went up to the same mountains we did head over there and take a looky as well. I will talk to you soon. Good night!

IS IT FRIDAY YET!

Well I cannot wait for this weekend! We very rarley have Emmalee and Taylor here at the same time cause Emmy goes to her dads every weekend but one and Taylor comes every other weekend here so sometimes they do not have the same schedule BUT this weekend we have them BOTH and Yeah for that. I know the girls like spending time together and Emmy really misses playing with Taylor.

So Steve and I have planned a cool weekend I do not want to go into details because Taylor reads my blog from home sometimes but we have some really cool stuff planned. I like to show the girls that you can have fun without going all over town, and wearing ourselves to the bone. I need all my energy to last me during the week with babysitting and the boys who are full of god know what!Plus I think that Family time is more fun then spending money time. Do not get me wrong that is fun too!:) SHHH! do not tell S. HEE HEE HEE HEE!

I Told T. and E. that I also wanted us girls to go to the botanical gardens (where S. and I went for our v-day picnic) so I can start taking their pics for spring time. It has rained alot so everything will be nice and green. Plus niether girl has been there and it is so BEAUtiful there. I have not seen alot of T. in the past month so the pics are scarce since she has gotten her new glasses. But I will be posting the pics soon. I will be taking the boys to have spring pics taken cause they are impossible to make sit still it takes like 3 people. The reason I do the girls myself is because I have a passion for the camera and I am trying to get better. I have set up a photo blog if you look on my blog roll you will see the link. It is Strickly to show off my FAV pics that I have taken of the kids, friend's parties, our crazy mother natureand ect ect.
Feel free to swing over and check it out. So this weekend we will not only be just Chillin we will be having a blast. I find it funny I am already posting about Friday and it is only tuesday opps. I should slow down or the rest of the week will just creep by huh?

Hey I am almost done delivering the Girl scout cookies Yeah I am done looking at cookies LOL!

I will talk to you soon have a good night and day tomorrow. I will post if anything exciting comes across my mind but do not count on it. But hey you never know right.

How Sad!!!!!!!

I REMEMBER BEING A KID AND WATCHING BASEBALL AND MY FAVORITE PLAYER WAS KIRBY PUCKET!I HAD A MINISOTA TWINS SHIRT AND WOULD WATCH THIER GAMES JUST SO I COULD SCREAM FOR HIM. WELL YESTERDAY HE DIED DUE TO COMPLICATIONS OF A STROKE HE HAD HE WAS ONLY 44YEARS OLD. I WAS SO SAD TO HEAR THE NEWS YESTERDAY WHN MY BIG BROTHER CALLED TO LET ME KNOW THEN SHORTLY AFTER THAT MY DAD CALLED TO TELL ME. HE WAS A GOOD BALL PLAYER AND I AM SO SAD. MY HEART GOES OUT TO HIS FAMILY.

THEN THIS MORNING MY FRIEND LISA CALLED ME TO TELL ME ABOUT DANA REEVES. HER POOR CHILDREN THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. I CANNOT HELP BUT FEEL A LITTLE BLUE. BUT SHE IS WITH HER AMAZING HUSBAND NOW. FLYING HIGH.:(
ISN'T THE TRADITION THAT THEY GO IN THREE'S? WHO IS NEXT?

Here is a Question for You????

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THIS TIRED???

While I was out grocerey shopping today The twins stayed home with Steve. Quentin went in his room and closed the door to watch Nemo (which is his favorite thing in the world right now)

and this is what We found when I got home.

Isn't it sweet.

ZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!

IN OUR HOME HOWEVER BEING THAT TIRED LEADS TO SOMEBODY BEING THIS LONLEY!

POOR BABY!

Post #2 for today!

Happy HALF NEKKID THURSDAY!

Some people feel nekkid without there makeup ( that is not how I am) but I thought I would do this for those who do. Hey please do not mind the terrible Eyebrows they need to be tweesed bad. The first pic really makes me think that I should just wear make up every day wow ! the none made up side looks pretty bad. Hope you all have a wonderful day. HHNT!!!!

Should I or Shouldn't I???

That is the big question I am pondering?

I have been reading lots of your blogs latley and noticing that all of your children have been having dances and neat little things at their schools holiday programs ect.

Well It made me think about our school and I began to wonder WHY? why no holiday program? Why no school dances? Why not some exciteng fundraisers?Why no plays or musical proformances? Why not the things I remember in school?

Well I talked to the head of the PTA! She said she does not have the kind of time and nobody has ever really had any Ideas like this before. What! I am not that creative so how hard is it?

Yes the question I dreaded came next. Well have you considered joining the PTA mam? AARRRGGGHHH! I Was not looking for an invite but I got one. So I threw out my best excuse yet. Well you see I have twin boys and no baby sitter so I am unable to do this kind of stuff. Guess what her answer was? Oh do not worry we offer daycare!

CRAP! there went that excuse right out the door.

I have been thinking about it and I am the kind of person that tries with all of my might to avoid conflict at all costs. I am so afraid that I will step on somebodies toes with all my ideas or just make somebody not like me.But at the same time I think all of our children diserve grade school memories that they can cherish. I know I have a whole bunch and would not trade them for the world.

I do not mind working behind the scenes but am really debating on joining.What do you think I should do.

Please feel free to give me advice and if you are in the PTA which I know a couple of you are please help me out by telling what to expect if I do join I do not want to go into this whole thing blind.
