The Christmas season is here!

My kids really can clean up!

Up to some good

Alright I know I haven't blogged in sometime. So here goes nothing.. Things have been pretty busy around here. Where do I start? I just started selling Lia Sophia! I wasn't really planning on it but as you all may have noticed I do things on the spur of the moment. I booked a show off a friend and I always like to try to book to help out so I did. Well I had my show and my sales was over $700 and I never do that good. So I ended up with getting almost $300 dollars in free jewelery which is so awesome! So the lady that did my show showed me what she would make off my party and I wanted to make that kind of money for and hour or two a night. Easy money I thought so here I am today! So fare so good. So my goal is to be as successful as all the other women I have met that sell Lia Sophia. So wish me luck on my road to a new future!
Chandler just finished up with soccer for the season. He was so excited that daddy coached again. They did pretty well and I am proud of him. His grades are doing good but he could use a little improvement. I like to see only A's and B's,but we are not hard on him about C's.
Preston is playing his last game for the season this week,so that is almost over. I'm kind of glad since it took up a lot of time in the week and makes for a hectic schedule. He did play very well and I hope he plays next year. His grades have been good also and I am so proud of him. He has grown up so fast in the last year. Some of the things that come out of his mouth these days just crack me up. But what can I say that's Preston for ya!
Felecity is loving school finally, we were a little worried the first couple of days. She said she didn't like getting up early. That girl loves he sleep that's no lie! As far as her grades go they only get checks and minus's so far so good.
Aurora well wait for it IS FINALLY POTTY TRAINED! Sorry I am just really proud of her. She decided one day it was time. She wears the normal undies too not the pull up's. Saves money for us too. After she is done she even washes her hands. In my opinion at the age of 2 1/2yrs old is pretty damn good!
Trinity is doing good and catching on fast. She already is a jabber box,not that you can understand her though. She was a late walker though, that really kind of had us worried for a while but then one day she decided to take off. Now she is going strong. I think a lot might have had to do with her brothers always doing everything for her. As of now she still only has two teeth with 6 ready to come thru at any moment!
My Niece Jazmyne has been living with us for a while now and will be here til at least after Christmas. Long story and nothing I need to talk about on here. It's been a little different with dealing with a teenager but I think I'm getting some practice for when my kids are that age. One good thing is they havn't really pulled some of the things she has with us. So I guess I better consider myself lucky. She's a good girl just needs someone to give a damn! She has been thru so much in the last year and I hate seeing her go thru everything but my hands are tied. The attitude is getting better too the longer she is here. I just hope that whatever happens we have givin her a few lessons learned and those lessons lead her to a wonderful future.

Just a Rant

Ok well I'm sitting here in my room listening to how fast these idiots drive past my house! I know it's a busy road but come on how fast do you have to go? The speed limit is 25 through here and I know most people are going 45 or 50 and faster!There is also a children at play sign just down the road before our house. Yes I'm the one giving all the ones speeding by dirty looks and if they have there window down I'm yelling at them to slow down. I have kids and I plan to keep them safe.I just don't know what I can do about it other than yell and shoot dirty looks all the time. What happens if these idiots lose control and end up in my front yard? We use our front door when we get home everyday. Most of the time if we are outside we are out back but occasionally we like to sit out front on the porch and enjoy the weather. Just the other night there was a wreck up the road and someone went off in someones front yard and hit a tree. that very easily could have been our front yard and we were just a minute past when this happened going out front to get in the van to leave. this was a rant I wanted to get off my chest! There has got to be something else I can do!!

Karma

I was just thinking how Karma works and I so bleave in it! I love to hear people sit and bragg about what they have and how much money they make etc.. I just sit back and think and think to myself Karma's a bitch! I mean really why bragg? I know of several people that didnt grow up with much as a kid and now they have this need to brag about everything they have. They way i see it is you had nothing as a child so why in the world would you act like your better than others by bragging. I just makes you look selfish really! At some point in your life it will come back to bite ya in the ass. You don't see me everytime I have something new I have to bragg to all my friends that I got it. I just let them figure it out on there own. I mean really it's selfish! I know of several people that act like this all the time! really think about it the guy down the street who braggs all the time he got a new toy or a new vehicle and every time he gets something new or a raise he has too bragg. Then one day he's loosing his job and the bragging stops. I just thought I would write about it! Let everyone know how I feel. I'm not saying i'm not happy for them but is there really a neeed to bragg about it!

Whoa! Momma!

OK it's been a while I admit it!
Things have been so busy lately my head is spinning. We have three birthdays coming up within days of each other and I am not even ready! I need to have a yard sell to get ride of the crap I have accumulated the past couple years that I no longer use.
Easter went OK for the most part, besides Chandler busting his lip open and gushing blood all over his outfit! They all looked great and had so much fun!I couldn't get aurora in but one picture and that one didn't turn out so well!
Aurora was so cute to watch as she would find her eggs. We went to a hunt one day and she was so pissed when she would go after one another little kids would grab it up. You just had to be there. Felecity only got 3 eggs at that hunt but wouldn't show us her eggs till later. We later found out she had a winning egg and won a wagon! She was so excited but didn't want her brothers to play with it cuz they will get it dirty and make it rust. She's very opinionated just like her momma!
It's mushroom season again and we have went a couple of times. The kids love it and to tell ya the truth I wouldn't find many if Preston wasn't with me. They go up and down those hills like monkeys! Aurora cracks me up when we help her pick one. She gets this funny smile and laughs so evil! We have found a few. I didn't go last night since I decided to fall down the stairs on my butt with baby in my arms. She is OK! I made sure it was me who got all the damage! My butt is prolly gonna be bruised good and so is my arm where I attempted to grab the rail to catch myself! But on the bright side of things they brought me home a bag of mushrooms!

M.I.A.

I know i have been M.I.A. in the blog world for a while. I have been so busy that i barely have time to pee. Work is good. The kids are finally adjusting to the new school. Grades are are better than were at the beginning of the new year at their new school. The kids are growing like weeds. Chandler will soon be 8 and Preston 7. Felecity 5 and Aurora is going on 2. Sometimes I wish they would just stay babies. Like the other day I told Felecity thanks "Sweet Pea". She looks at me and says "I'm not your Sweet Pea I'm Daddy's Sweet Pea". She just tells it like it is!
We just recently lost our White boxer Rebel. I took him to the vet since he wasn't eating and they took xrays and found two pacifiers and a kids sock. They did surgery and got it out, well he still wasn't doing good so the did another surgery and dint make it. I was so upset. He was such a good dog! Well we were not planning on it and just got a new pup on Saturday. He's so cute i couldn't pass him up. Other than that that's what has been going on in my neck of the woods.

latly things have been so hectic. we finally got moved after thanksgiving. we kept the kids in the same school till after christmas and then switched them. they seam to enjoy it there. the kids love the new house. so much more room and a bigger yard. lots of room to ride thier fourwheelers and new dirtbike dad insisted on buying them. we still dont have the yard fenced like we planned. its going to take a while to get everything done we plan to.
work is ok. finally getting less hours. its hard to keep up with the house and the kids with working the hours i have been. hubby has been getting upset about my hours too. so hopefully i can get more done around here. i got a lote of painting to do.
the baby is getting so big,smiling and makeing lots of noise. felecity is mouthy as ever. the boys try to keep their room clean for the most part. aurora is starting to have interest in the potty so we will se where that goes!

wow have i been busy!

Things have got so busy. Since our new baby things have gotten busier everday!
Well where do I start?
Well I sold my truck! Yeah I know, I didn't think I would ever get rid of that thing. I miss it of course but I just wasn't driving it enough sucr the baby was born and we can't fit into it as a family anymore. We did get a new van though. It's nice but just not the same as the truck.
I got a new job also. It just kinda happened wasn't really looking. I just happened to be in there on day and made a comment on the beeping noise. Well she handed me an app. And I was called a few days later. I got the job and it's part time but gets me out of the house a few times a week. So far I like it! I have only been there for a couple weeks. I enjoy the customers and have seen a few people I have not Seen in a while so that is kind of nice.
The biggest thing we have been up to latley is buying a house. Yes we Finnaly found it.It's in the school district we were looking for and big enough for our family. We are so excited! I just am not looking forward to the whole packing and moveing part. We have a lot of stuff so it's gonna be a long weekend when we move. We are hoping to be moving thanksgiving weekend. They are pushing to get us in by then. .
We are finally done havein kido's too. A couple of weeks ago the hubby had the snip snip. So we are for sure done this time.
Trinity is doing great and growing like a weed. She is now almost 3 months now! It seams like just yesterday we brought her home.
Chandler has been having a little behavior problem latley so we have been trying to figure that out. He's been lieing and hiding from us in public etc. So if ya have some ideas that may help let me know.
Preston got strait A's on his report card last gradeing period and the 2nd on is about to come out. So we will see what this one is like.
Felecity is going to preschool now and doing good. She seams to like it but some days just doesn't want to do anything. She is acting like me more and more everyday.
Aurora is growing fast and is getting crazy everyday.she is a very busy girl and mean as ever.
I'll try to get on here a little more often and keep this up to date.we are going to be busy moving soon so it may not be too soon.

my birth story

I was awaken about 6am august 15th. It started with sharp pains I just new were not the normal braxton Hicks contractions. The hubby got up and went to work. I just layed there trying to go back to sleep but couldn't so I eventually called hubby to come back home so we could head to the hospital. We arrived at to hospital the nurse checked me and said I was still dilated the same as in the doc's office. She then asked if I would allow a cath. I refused so she just had me pee in a cup. She thought my pain was a urinary tract infection. It of course wasn't. She then made me walk for a while. My back was killing me so we went back to my room. A little while later I threw up. She then came in and said well maybe it's that flu that is going around. Hubby at this point was like "yeah that's it".
We were then told to wait till the doc came in to check me and see what he said. He came in later and right before he checked me the nurse said "you don't want to deliver today we are too busy" the doc asked a few questions and then checked me. He looked up at the nurse and said "she's in labor" I was four.
As soon as they got a empty room they moved me and I waited for my labor to progress. Later out me on an IV of pit to speed up my labor. The doc came in later to break my water. Hubby then asked if it was too late to get pain meds since I didn't have a epideral. They give me some morphine to help take the edge off. By the way I don't think helps much. Well I went really fast from there and was ready to push in no time. They kept telling me to wait but it was not easy. I finally told them she was coming and the doc came in and she was right there ready to come out. I pushed and she was óut in one push. Doc tried to stop me after her head was out but there was no stopping.
She didn't cry when she was born and I knew something was wrong. Everyone was telling me she was ok but I knew better. They were doing CPR on her and smacking her face is what hubby later told me. They got her breathing but she was on oxygen. They rushed her off to the nicu. I later was told she got some of the morphine that I Had because I went so fast. She did finally start breathing better on her own after that but later jaundice was the problem so she had to stay over at the nicu till her levels where better. We did finally get her home on Sunday.
She has been doing well and is a very good baby. She is used to the noise so is able to sleep well. Well that's what it or at least all I can think of.

Trinity

Ok she's finally here! I had her Aug 15th at 11:15pm. She was 8lb14oz and 20 1\2 inches long.
She still isn't home yet but hopefully soon. I'll will write more about why and the whole birth story later.
I know it's been a while since I have wrote on here. We have been so busy. We got a new puppy today. The kids are so excited they named her Dixie. The other dogs took to her well so that was good.
The kids have got to spend a lot more time with daddy than the are used to lately since he took this last week off work while I have been driving back and forth to see the baby! I don't know what Aurora is gonna do when daddy goes back to work. They have played none stop!
We now are looking for a new van since our's blew a head gasket. Hubby thought about fixing it but is kinda wanting to take the easy way and buy a new one. So we will see what happens.
The boys are back in school and they love it! Weird kids huh?
Well next time I'll try and tell about how things went with the birth and after!

Ok well I went to the doc on Tuesday. I am dialated and he said the baby is at 8lbs. Hopefully soon baby will be here. I got most everything ready that I think I may need. Havn't got any diapers since our last baby started off in size 1's. We have been slowly getting ready for the kids to go back to school. I,m ready for the break too.
We did get most of that tree cleaned up from our backyard. So things are falling together for now.

catchin ya up!

Well latly time has flown by. Soon the baby will be here and the house will be rockin with 5kids 3 and soon to be 4 dogs. People are gonna think it's a zoo. The boys are ready for school to be back in. For right now they love school. Felecity was hoping to go but was out on a waiting list. I shouldn't have much to worry about though since she is so smart. Aurora is as mean as ever and walking but not a pro yet. She has got more teeth and eats a ton.
we now have half a tree to cut up in our backyard and the other half will be coming down soon before it falls on the house. We got Lucky that the tree fell the other way then the house when we had a bad storm Monday night. Other people were not as lucky as they had more damage.
I did manage to get my hair colored again did it with hubby's help of course. What more can I ask for? He treats me well. Well that's all I can think of for now!

times fly's when your having fun!

Not that I have really had too much fun ,but not too bad. Things have been good for the most part. The fourth was great! We went to hubby's boss's house like we have for several years now. Lots of fun like always and the kids always love going and eating a ton.
Felecity had her dance at the park but didn't do anything but tap her foot the whole time. She did dance at her recital a week later. I was so proud! She looked so grown up! It brought back so many memories of when I danced when I was younger.
We are still sort of looking for a bigger house. I'm pretty sure the one we tried to get and was hoping was still forsale later is now sold! So that kinda of sucks! I guess there is prolly a reason for it. But it still makes me sad. There should be other houses too with the market the way it is I'm sure we will find something.
The baby's arrivall is getting closer. Yeah I'm not prepared at all. Still no baby bed. Havn't even got the newborn clothes back out yet. Have no newborn diapers yet. No backs packed but I'm sure the hubby can get that if need be. He should be a pro at what I need for my stay by now! I think the baby maybe here a little sooner than expected too. I could be wrong but I feel like it's close. I just hope she comes when she's good and ready and not too early. We want her to be healthy.
I'll try to post àgain soon so these don't get to long and boring. Ü have just been so busy.

thiefs!

Lately we have had a lot of things coming up missing in our neighborhood not to mention the stupid people that stole our dog a while back! Today the kids went outside to go ride bikes with the neighbor boy and Chandler comes in to tell me he can't find his bike. I figured he needed to look a little Better. So I waited a while to see if he could find it and sure enough it was stolen. Well we went for a walk to the park and the kids played for a while then we walked over and got the kids some food at the fish fry they were having. We then went home and a little while later I was outside and thought I heard our little dog that thinks she owns the neighborhood yelp like someone hit her or something. So I looked around and didn't see her so sent Chandler to look behind the house. Well she happened to be inside but needless to say Chandler came running back telling me he seen his bike! Well I looked and sure enough it was his. Then the boy rode it right in front of our house! I confronted him and told him let's go talk to his parents and then we chased him (we'll sort of just walked but caught up to him) well needless to say his dad said he bought it from some guy for $20. Ok I think not but I got it back with little Said! It just happened to be at the gedo behind our house! Well that's what we call it but they are really dirty appart and they are up all night fighting. Thank god we got a privacy fence that we don't have to see that everyday.
The other things stolen in the neighborhood recently is car sterio's on each side of us. Nothing stolen out of our çars but who knows I might not really be missing it if they did. We have had people fighting and riding bikes through our yard in the middle of the night it's just getting to be worse and worse everyday! In the two years we have been here we have never had this much go on around us.
The kids are doing good getting in lots of trouble! Felecity performs at the park on Thursday for our 4th of July celebration that they do every year. She is excited about that. PRESTON'S birthday is on Friday so he will be turning 6yrs old! Wow! Time sure flys!
We did get the fence up and the dogs love haveing the room as do I. Since they get all the rough play done outside now and don't destroy my house now,but the kids have been making up for that! Well enough said until next time!

the joys of family

I often find myself having more fun spending time with family rather than out partying. I will be able to look back in a few years and be thankful that I spent most of my time with my children and family. Yeah I do like to have some alone time sometimes with just me and the hubby. I know growing up I don't recall much family time except for around the holidays. I feel as though family is more important than drinking all the time. I'm not writing this to affend anyone. If you fee as though I am I guess you must be one of those that leave your kids with a sitter all the time to go out.
Lately we have been spending a lot of time outdoors and at my youngest brothers house. We didn't get the house we were wanting. We have to try again in a couple months and hope and pray it is still up for sale then.(it's a long story)
For now we are going to be putting a fence up in our backyard for the dogs and making a flowerbed out front. There is not much grass there so I figure why not plant the flowers I got before they die.
I got my 4D ultrasound on Thursday. The baby is weighing in at 4lbs 9oz already. I so hope I go early! Otherwise she is gonna be a big girl. Her feet are even huge! I have pics up on my myspace page of them if you would like to look. Well better go.

life in my fast lane

Well as you may have guessed things are getting pretty busy. I get up everyday with just enough time to feed the kiddo's ,take the dogs out ,yell at the kids to get dressed a hundred times before the finally listen. Then get Aurora dessed and out the door to get errends ran. I hope I don't forget anything half the time!
Felecity is getting excited about dancing at the park in july and her recital will be in july also. July is going to be a busy month already and it's not july yet.
We have done a lot of outdoor things with the kids lately. It's good for them to be active. We did get a chance to go to the park pool one day this week. That was fun. Preaton did get burnt though. I thought Aurora would be fried but she was good. The water was still a little cold but it was refreshing.
I just hope the weekend is nice enough for us to do some outdoor activities.

progress

Ok so far so good. The bank excepted our offer on the house we have been looking at. Now we just need to go through the rest of the process and with any luck we will be moved in july.
Besides the flood around us everything has been good. We didn't get any damage or flood water in our house or basement. It was all around us though. We got lucky. I just hate all this rain we have gotten. Not that I want an drought but rain like every day now come on.
My pregnancy has went well so far. I am now seeing my doc every two weeks. It's getting close!
The kids have enjoyed being able to play outside almost all day. Preston's hair is already turning blonde and felecity is already getting tan. I'v already been asked if I take her tanning. Come who would let a 4yr old tan in a tanning bed. Chandler is growing up so quick too. Some of the things he does and says makes me derl so old.
Until next time.

schools out!

Wow! This school year came bad went fast. Chandler just barely missed honor roll for the whole year. We are still proud of him though. I also had him thinking he was going to take 1st grade over again. I finally told him he gets to go to 2nd grade though. Preston is excited to get to go to 1st grade next year.
The kids like the summer off but I kinda like the break from them for the afternoon too. Since they have been out they have got me up at the butt crack of dawn every morning. By the time the day is over I am exhausted.
Today I spent most my day cleaning my truck. We are thinking about selling it since gas prices are so high and I am kinda wanting a car. I won't prolly be able to fit all the kids in it but I can barely take the truck right now with gas prices so high. Besides we have the van so it't won't be too bad.
We are still waiting to see what goes on with the house we are looking at. I hope we get it,but I hate the thought of moving again. It will be worth it though if we get it. Lots of room for everyone. Well that's it for now.

can't sleep so I'll write a little!

Ok well I think we may of found us a house that is big enough for us. It is big enough the kids can all have their own room plus more. We are crossing our fingers eveything goes good from here on. Wish us luck!
I have had so much on my mind lately that I havn't been sleeping well.with the new baby coming soon and trying to find a bigger house things are just racing in my head. We are also selling our quads since we havn't had much time to ride lately. The kids will still have theirs we don't plan to get rid of those. We do plan to get new ones later but right now we are focused on a lot. Also since I made a deal with the hubby the only way I will sell my quad is if I get a tanning bed. So I am going Saturday to do that. At first I was going to trade it for one but another deal worked out for us.
The kids are all doing great and learning how to use their heelys. Aurora now has 6 teeth and more trying to come through. She's is so close to walking now that I can't bleave how much she has grown in a year. Where does time go?
We are also thinking about breeding our yorki poo. I'll let ya know how that goes. Well I can't think of anything else so later.
