{looks more like halloween than christmas}

Loagins Party!!!

He's almost 3! I cant believe it that my baby boy is almost 3! It seems like just the other day we were still in diapers and bottles and baby food, i miss it but i am certain that i like having 3 bigger children than i do the babies:). I think now we can enjoy our family time together a little more, dont have to worry about taking a diaper bag, formula, diapers bottles or any of that crap along anymore! I do know that he is starting to take on his VERY own personality that is mostly hateful for the time maybe that is a 3 year old stage! I hope it passes quickly! We had his party this past sunday on the 7th, only because his actual birthday is the 22nd and that is way to close to christmas and everyone in the families are busy by then! Here are some pics, enjoy!!!

Back to School!

Well it seems that 5 days out of school can be very draining for one who normally only has one child with them during the day. I have been without the two older children during the day and for the last 5 days, well lets just say i am not ready for the xmas break or summer to get here. I have been so used to no fighting, no arguing and its been quite nice but then reality set in and i realized i had 3 hoodlems. We didnt really get to much done over the thanksgiving break but we did get to go south and see the family. That was very nice seeing as how we dont get to see them to often. I came down with some kind of sore throat on Thursday night that had me down til about Sunday evening, then it got a little better. We also got some of the kids xmas pics taken, just by us in our kitchen and i will post a few pics, Other than that school has resumed and we have about 3 weeks left and then they are out for about 2 1/2 weeks or so. I on the other hand only have 2 weeks of class left and i will be good until Jan. 12th and then the spring semester begins. OOOOO my how i long for that break from classes for me:)

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

loagin loves his cookies!!!

First Year of TBall

well easton is now 5 this year so that means he can play tball. So back in May we enrolled him in it. He is one of, if not the youngest kid on his team, however he seems to be the same height as the rest of them. He LOVES to hit the ball and run the bases. When it comes to fielding, well hes not so hip on that part. I think he just gets bored. Normally hes in the outfield somewhere. He was on third base on his last game and did awesome. He got two boys out. We only have three games left but i am hoping that he will want to play again next year. I am not sure if he liked it enough or not. His team is the Scrappers, they use Minor League Ball team names here for the tball teams. I have a few pics and even some of him doing what he does best, playing in the dirt. LOL. hope you all enjoy

4th of July

Megan, Garrett, Summer(my siblings), Addy, Easton, loagin,(my kids)

Well the kids had a good, okay great 4th, they got to spend it with their Aunts and Uncles in Midland. Loagin was the only one who was not really allowed to light anything as he is only 2. They stayed the night with their Grandma Tonya and went swimming the next day, I must also say that one of my Very Good Friends got married and on July 5th and i am so sorry that i missed her wedding. If certain things like gas and hotels werent so expensive i could have made it to see her on her big day. I am so bummed that i missed out on that and i so hope she will forgive me someday..:) Okay well here are some pics from the fourth.

Schools Out

well sorry it has been so long since i have written. We had been so busy with Addys school. She is now a 2nd grader and Easton is now a Kindergartener, they are both excited about next year. We were all just ready for summer break to begin i think. We now can focus on reading and trying to potty train Loagin. That is going to be the real trick for the summer. Lots of swimming at grandmas house planned for us as well. We got the call on Monday from Eastons Tball coach saying that he was placed on a team and that they will have their first practice sometime next week. We or I am really excited about that. So not to much else going on here,

Well thank goodness its almost friday. I cannot wait. Our week has not been such a good one. Our bank has had all of our accts screwed up and to top it off I hit a rock this morning in our car and it was not a little rock either. I was so mad. The lady in front of us actually hit it first and it flew into our path. I tried to miss it but instead i hit it, HARD! Luckily it did not do damage to the car, just a few scuffs underneath. well not much else to report. will have more after the weekend!!

Where have the days gone:)

Okay So it has been awhile since i have posted. We seem to have been quite busy around here lately!, and summer is not even here yet. We took the kids to Devils Den last weekend, it was sooo nice outside we just couldnt stand to stay home. We have been outside everyday this week playing. I cant believe how nice the weather has gotten but I LOVE IT!!! Loagin got a new Hot Wheels scooter so he was so excited about that. He loves riding them. We are trying ( that being the key word) to work on potty training him. He doesnt seem to be all that intrested in it yet! But we will work on that all summer long as well. On a different note, John and I had the final, "Do we want anymore children" talk and decided together that we are done. Three is enough plus we just bought a new car and it wont fit anymore people:)!!! But i am good with three. They are enough work to apply for about 6-7 ! Plus Easton will be in school so i will have more time to spend with just loagin. Havent really had just US time since he was born cuz easton was still little then. That will be nice. School Report. Well addy only has 5 more weeks left til summer and i only have 2 weeks left til i officially finish my first semester of college. I am so proud of myself. I have done and accomplished more in the last 16 weeks than i did right out of high school! And i got an A in one class and a B in the other. For me thats good!!! I am not sure what classes i wanna take in the fall but i have all summer to decide that. I am not going to take summer classes because i wanna be able to devote all my time to playing outside with the kids. Our goal is one hour of tv a day in the summer for the kids, maybe two if they watch during nap time only. We have to ween easton off of it. He is bad at night time and seeing as he will be starting school he will loose the tv privilege at night in his room. Well not much else to exciting has been happening around here. John just working long hours and fixing to take a week long trip to Kansas City in May, I am almost 27 and dont really feel like i am that old. Cant wait for summer and at the same time ready for Aug, we also have tball this summer so that should be fun! well i am off, talk to you all later

Happy 5th Birthday Easton!!!

Well we did it, we made it to 5 years old today! Easton, our middle son is finally old enough to go to school. He turns 5 today. Doesnt seem like he should be that old. That must mean that somewhere down the line I got older:) I am not really sure how well I will do when he starts school in August, I have been home with him for the last 5 years and now he must leave me! I will be so sad and yet he will probably be so happy to get to go, however he has met the principal of the school twice now and both times he has told her HES NOT GOING TO SCHOOL!!! I hope hes not to disappointed when we ship him off...lol ! Well he had a great party and he got to go ice skating, the only down side was that his daddy had to work so he was unable to be at the party but we saved some cake for him and some presents for easton to open here at the house. So he still got to participate in it. Also John turned 34 on the 3rd of April. I just thought i was old:)

The Bride getting ready to go out for the night
The Groom
The Bride having a great time!!!

Okay so I had quite the fun weekend. Haven't had a girls weekend in along time. I along with 3 other girls from my graduating class made a trip to Maumelle. It was soooo fun. We went to the Bridal shower of another of our classmates and Jen was also there but she lives closer than the rest of us. I must say that Darla is one of the funnest people to be around along with my 4 other friends. To make it even more fun her sisters and her mother were there. Boy are they funny.:) I dont think i have seen them in about 5 years. I must say that i am looking forward to the wedding in July. I dont get to travel without my kids to often so when i do i can actually enjoy my time with the friends. I for one also enjoy the peace and quiet, i have three noisy kids so thats nice sometimes and for me it doesnt happen to oftet:) well i hope everyone else had a great weekend and also i hope everyone had a Happy ST. Patricks Day!!!

Wordless Wednesday: My two favorite Boys!!!

update on the schooling

Okay well i have now been in school for about 3 going on 4 weeks. Its not as bad as i thought it would be, I am doing okay in my whole two classes I am taking this semester. I am in Accounting and Computers. I so far have an A in both classes and have great classmates in the computer class. Has only been going on 9 years since i have had to sit in a classroom with other students. Was weird at first but its getting easier to talk to them. I have to be in the room for 2hours and 45minutes and my accounting class is online so my classmates for that one are Easton and Loagin, they are pretty easy to get along with for the most part. :) Anyways I just thought i would let all of you know how it was going in case anyone cared. Its okay if you don't though gives you something to read about, when your bored. Okay well i will go now. Later

Cold weather and taxes

Well its that time of year again. Its cold outside and we have to file our taxes. Only this year I just pray that we dont have to pay in. John had about 4 months of Self-employment, i am hoping that wont hurt us when it comes to a refund or paying in. Surely well get a refund. I am praying my little heart out. I for one dont really care for this cold weather either. I prefer the 60-70's, at the coldest. Especially when it comes to the kids being out of school, seems to me that the boys are no problem until sis gets to stay home and pester them all day. She has been out since last Thursday on snow days. But they didnt play in the snow to much cuz Loagin has been sick and i really didnt want all of them sick. They did enjoy the time they got out there tho.:) It is now Saturday and it seems like the never-ending week. I am looking forward to the 68 degrees we are supposed to have on Monday. That will be so nice. Wish my husband would come home so he could fix the tv. I broke it and now we can not pick up any channels on it, and i would like to watch the commercials during the Superbowl on sunday. I watch part of the game as well but me, i mostly watch the commercials and the half-time show. We are not football crazy in our house. Seems to be more Baseball here. Well guess i will get just thought i would ramble for a bit, but dont really have anything important at the moment.

Its been one crazy week!!

Well where to begin, lets see Monday was our last night with John. He had to do his first out of town traveling for his job. They had to go work ing Green Forrest which i think is about 1 hour 45 minutes or 2 Hours away. So the company put them up in a hotel all week. He has not been away from the kids like that for a long time. It has been nice getting to put them to bed though and not having to worry about them waking him up at night. However, he does get to come home tonight i think. They have to go back over there tomorrow but from what i understand they all need clean clothes so they must come back to their wives:) Or to the Magic Room as John calls it. The place where his close just seem to clean themselves. I think he likes to push my buttons, or maybe just not face the fact that if it werent for me he would be up a creek without a paddle.LOL:) Well Addy started back to school this week. Our first day back was Tuesday. She went yestarday to the eye doctor and got another exam. Still has to wear glasses but she got to pick out some new ones. When i get a pic i will post for all to see. I start school on Monday the 14th and i just hope its not to hard. I am taking 3 courses this semester and thankfully they all count for credit. I will eventually have to take some math ones that dont count, im al little dumb when it comes to the math. I am in English Comp I, Accounting I, and Intro to Computers. So i think i should do okay. I may have some issues with the accounting as i have not really had classes on that before. I am however really excited about it. I think John has gotten a little more excited for me as well. I just feel as i am finally doing something with my life productivly that can help our family out in the long run. I know that i LOVE being a stay at home mom, but I only have about 4 more years of that then all of our kids will be in school so for the next 4 years i guess i can take online and night classes to get the highest degree i can get in 4 years. Please pray for me cuz i may soooo need it.:) Well its getting to be around the 2oclock time so i better start getting things ready to go get Addy from school! Talk to you all later.

Its Finally Here, Its 2008

Well we made it. Its 2008 and were all still alive.:) I must say i was not sure i would even make it to the new year, I was ready to hit the bed about 10:00, but our family went to Johns bosses house for the ringing in of the new year. So about 11:40 we turned on Dick Clark and watched the countdown. I must say i really do not get that into it anymore. Addy and Easton watched the ball drop and Loagin well he fell asleep about 11:57 so he didnt make it. But that was okay by me. They were all gettin pretty cranky by the time midnight came around. But all in all 2007 was a great year f0r us. I am hoping that 2008 has a whole lot more in store. For me personally i would love to see about 65lbs of fat come off of my body and i have a few other resolutions that i would like to accomplish by the end of the year. So Happy New Year to all and Be safe and God Bless.
