Yesterday was a Beautiful day. We had a lot of fun. There is a brand new park over by Overholser Lake that the kids wanted to go to. So we went around 10am.....before it got toooo very hot. The kids just loved it. Especially Emma. She just ran and ran and ran. Each time she went down the slide she would say, "I go whee!!!"
Later in the day we went to the Mobile home park swimming pool and they got even more excersise. We all had alot of fun. Emma sat in her ring with a seat and then she kicked her feet too move herself around and kept saying..."I swimming". It was very cute. I so need to do more things like this with them. I felt alot better getting out and doing something other than sitting on my butt. Well......Here are some pics I took at the park. Click on the thumbnails for a bigger view. Hope ya like em. Later Gaters, Kai!

Birthday X 2...

We had a really nice evening at the park on Monday. Celebrating Josh turning 17 and Emma turning 2. It was alot of fun. There weren't many presents for Josh cuz we got him a stereo and it was already set up in his room and inlaws got him a nice desk chair. So that was it for him. But he was happy. Emma made out well. Her new obsession is with "Rella" ...Translation, Cinderella. So I centered everything around that. She got a cute Cinderella doll, dress, and plate set, along with a carrier for her beloved babies. Her cake was a Disney princess cake and there was a small one for josh but it was plain. It's hard to plan party things for a 17 year old boy. Never thought it would be, but it is....LOL. He is chomping at the bit to move out next summer, so I am trying to think of things he will need when he leaves. The stereo was something I thought he might like/need, and it was. He helped pick it out, and is very happy with it. Emma loves all her new toys. Her grandparents got her the wagon and an outfit and her aunt and uncle got her a care bear. The kids all had alot of fun playing at the park. But I didn't have a chance to take pics of them.....oh well.....Next time. Later Gaters, Kai!

Kindergarten Graduation

Today was Little Miss Hannah's Kindergarten Graduation. It was too cute and she was so proud. Anyways...they had a little ceremony, complete with grad hats that none of them could keep on, diplomas, and a small reception afterward. I am so glad they did this. Neither of the boys had anything like this. I can't wait to scrapbook it! LOL. Later Gaters. Off to finish getting ready for Josh and Emma's birthday at the park this afternoon. Kai!




HANNAH AND MELODY....BBFE!!!

THE WRITING CENTER.

Midnight visitor

Well...Miss Hannah isn't a baby any more!!! She lost her first tooth last night. My kids are just growing up to fast. Sometimes I wish I could slow down time to half speed and others I wish I could speed it up and get all the kids stuff over with. But mostly I wish they would stay little, cute, and sweet. Every time Emma says "Wuffoo" I just melt. Translation....Love you! She can be soo sweet and lovey but then she can be a major tyrant that I just want to give her away. But all in all I just want my babies to be babies forever if I could.
Having a 17 year old in the house and a 2 year old at the same time makes me see how swiftly and how short time really is. Especailly since one of Joshuas friends was killed in an auto/train accident this week. It is soo sad. But I'm just very glad it wasn't Josh. I think it'd kill me if anything happened to one of my kids.
I don't know how Tyler's mom is handling it! I know it's a sad note, but I gotta go get Hannah from school. Later Gaters, Kai!

Hapy Mother's Day

I am not the perfet mother....far from it! That's for sure! But it's nice to be recoginzed for my efforts. My two middle kids brought me breakfast in bed of cerial and juice along with their homemade gifts from school. My oldest gave me a DVD set of Fiddler on the Roof, Westside Story and Guys and Dolls. It was so sweet that he remembered how much I like old musicals. Haven't gotten my gift from dh, but he is working today and I'm sure I'll get it tonight. We are going to my inlaws for dinner tonight. My sil, Amy, and I are making dinner for her. She is making enchelads and mexican rice. I made pico de gallo, guacamole, and strawberry short cake. I will be giving her copies of the pictures of the kids I had taken at Easter. I hope she likes them.

I hope all you mommies out there.....and all you someday mommies....had a wonderful blessed day. I love my kiddos and I know you all do, and that we all love being showed love and appreciation for all we do for them. Have a wonderful day! Kai

Not much blog worthy....

Lately...sorry guys. I have been dealing with an on going health problem that has had me down and out for a while. And I haven't been able to do much of anything much less post here. And I'm not feeling much better to tell the truth. But I'm here for now and am trying to make the best of it. If I could get some anti-biotics into me I'd be better, but I don't see how that's gonna happen anytime soon. So pray for me and send me good wishes to feel well enough to do the things I should be doing.
