I finally have a moment

Just to catch up for the past week not a whole lot has happened. Rob has been home all week and things have just been moving on at a normal pace. Over the weekend we put lattice on the bottom of our deck so Dominic will quit using it as a garbage dump. We went to my mom and dads on Sunday to drop off the remaining baby stuff I had so hopefully Mary can get it. My nephew Willy burnt his leg bad on Saturday in a brush fire which has resulted in him having to have skin graphs done and a week in the hospital, but not only is that bad but he has no medical insurance he is in his early 20's and has not been at his job long enough to have it, so I think he is more concerned about that than anything. I took Braxton to Preschool round up today. The school has a free program but they are only excepting 34 kids and they had 48 for round up so hopefully Braxton will get in. Smart wise well he could start Kindergarten but attitude he needs work. I do think his current preschool teacher gets to help make the decision and I know she thinks he needs it. Today the weather is nice and little cool but nice so Im sure Rob and the kids will be outside most of the evening which is good for me because its gets them out of my hair. Well I promise I wont wait so long to write again.

Braxtons Birthday Weekend

Well my little man turns 4 today. Its hard for me to beleive, we tried for so long to get him and now he is 4. I'm sure he will never appreciate all the struggles we went threw trying to get pregnant and carry him. He was truly and miracle to us. Now he is 4, going to preschool, trying to become his own person. The world better watch out because soon they wont know what hit them when Braxton is grown up. We had a very nice weekend to celebrate his birthday, all week it called for rain on Saturday but it ended up being beautiful, with no leaves on the trees it actually got hot sitting out in the sun. We had several little things go wrong but he did not care, like we ran out of gas on the grill while we were trying to cook, my baked beans did not turn out correctly even though I have made them at least 100 times, I forgot to buy ice cream and chips, we ran out of paper plates and this stuff was just for his birthday party but he did not care he still had his friends and family and that is what was important to him and of course the presents. Well we got him a new soccer net he kicked a ball at it about 3 times and was done, my mom got him a new bike and the rim was bent so she had to return it to the store and she is bringing another new one out tonight, his favorite gift so far has been the new bubbles he got from great Grandma. It just amazes me how they love the little things and the big stuff is okay. I really have a feeling though that when Grandma gets here tonight with the new bike it will be the best.

After the party was over we went to my friend Brandys house so Rob and her husband Kory could fix the brakes on my Durango, well it turned out that I needed another part that was another $140 so a 7 o'clock on Saturday we are headed to town to pick up the new part but we had a feeling with the way things had went that day that something would go wrong, but its all fixed now. On Sunday we spent all day at home which was nice, we got some things picked up out of the yard, Rob got all of the crap out from under the deck which ment he had to actually go under the deck to get it. After two full days outside the kids are wore out today and are not being very good, its a good thing the week came so everybody can get rested up for next weekend.

I did not get any good pics of Braxton on Saturday so this is the best I got.

Grandpa was trying to fix a nice play place for Renny since she is not walking and it involved him getting the the castle and I could not resist a pic.

Rob gone again

Life around here has been very boring. We had a wet weekend so we spent a lot of time in the house. We finally cleaned out our closets, which I have to say Rob and I still had clothes from high school it was time to get it done. Rob stayed home with the kids Saturday night and I went to Brandys for a girls night out. It was kind of fun, not a whole lot of people I knew at her house, a lot of people from her work, but I still got to get out and Rob actually stayed home with the kids. Rob left for Georgia Monday morning, I felt kind of bad I did not even wake up to say goodbye when he left at 4 am but I was tired. Corinne is starting to act better and sleeping again so I am sure it was her teeth bothering her. I can not wait till she gets them all in, she has been my worst kids for teething. I can not wait for friday to get here, I'm already ready for Rob to come home, it is just so much nicer to have someone home to help with the kids some but its only Tuesday, 3 more days.

Corinne has been a pain

Corinne has had the biggest attitude lately. She is not sleeping well at night or during the day and she just screams whenever something is not pleasing her, she is not eating well and just plain unhappy lately. I have decided to call her Endocrinologist tomorrow to see about getting a blood draw done. I think her medication is off. If its not I will be shocked and wonder why she is acting so miserable all the time lately. I'm very tired of it, I guess it could be her teeth but I have learned with her when she is cutting a new tooth she runs a fever, gets an ear infection and gets a bad diaper rash even with using the expensive diapers. I don't know, I just hope she gets over it soon.

Just wanted to show something

Corinne managed to climb up on the couch and onto the back to stand in front of the window. We should have named her monkey.

what a weekend

This weekend we had some fun. I first have to say the weather was beautiful, 60's and sunny. Friday night we took Dominic to Mason to weigh him in for a wrestling tournament on Saturday. We came home and spent the evening home. Saturday we got up early and went to the tournament. Dominic did not do so well and it was the longest, boringest tournament we have been to. We spent approximately 7 hours their for Dominic to wrestle twice. We have come to the conclusion that he is done wrestling for the year time for something new. Saturday night we went to our friend Brandy and Cory's just to get out of the house. Dominic did not go he did. not want to hang out with us. The weather was so perfect that we got to be outside the whole time and even had a bonfire. Sunday morning Dominic had his first baseball practice. It went good, thanks to Robs parents we both got to go watch. It was good to see some different parents again and get caught up with them. Then we went to my parents house, they just got back from Jamaica. They said it was the perfect vacation, I want to go. After we got home Rob was off again for the airport, he wont be home until Thursday and I'm missing him more than I usually do this time, but I'm sure the week will go fast.

we got to go out a play

yesterday even though it was wet I deceided my kids needed to go out and play. We stayed out for about 2 hours, untill Sissy got to wet to stay outside any longer. It was fun, Corinne liked the baby swing after she got used to it and Kirsten and Braxton got to ride their bikes. The sand box was a little wet but they did not care, they still played in it.



I love this pic of sissy again. It shows why she ended up so wet. Plus I know you cant see real well but Braxton has the back tire of his bike in a mud pubble and keeps peddaling to fling water.

Braxton is always so helpful but he was loving feeling like a big brother pushing his little sis.

I have not posted any pics in a couple days

I love this pic of sissy. We are headed shopping and I realized what a country girl she looked like. The John Deere shirt, brown coat and yes the hat says girls fish too and Bass Pro Shops.

The only pic of sissy on easter in her easter dress. I'm going to have to put it on her again just for pictures.

Braxton and Corinne planting flowers. This was a lot of fun and guess what everybody is getting for mothers day

And for anybody who likes pan fish will like the perfection in my fish I fried for dinner. Perfectly brown and crispy.
