What a week!

We are still in the process of moving and are really close to being done,but it's all those little things that nobody wants to do. It seems we picked our busiest week of May to move.

Last year Eric and I volunteered at the girls school every week and well this year we went twice. Sad, I know. At the end of the year the school does a volunteer tea and invites the volunteers who spend time at the school. I am not sure why we were invited, but we were and we were happy to go as Hailey's class was singing a few songs. We took Taylin and Nathan with us. Hailey's class was singing The Climb, it's in the Hannah Montana movie in case you are not familiar with it. So anyways, Hailey's teacher was introducing the song and said I know some of you guys have kids who like Hannah Montana... Taylin as loud as she could yelled out, "Hailey does!" Hailey was so embarrassed! Her face was red and she wanted to hide with nowhere to go and the look on her face was priceless. Leave it to Taylin to embarrass her sister in front of a library full of volunteers!

After the tea we rushed over to Hailey's track meet. This was Hailey's first year competing as you have to be in at least the 3rd grade to participate. She competed in the 100 meter and placed 3rd, she also competed in the standing long jump and the softball throw. She will find out in the next few days the results of those 2 events. Good job Hailey you did awesome.

The best part of my day is listening to the girls pray before they head out the door for school. They say the cutest things and sometimes I have to hold back my laughter. This morning was Eric's turn and he said something about knowledge and as soon as he was done Taylin said, "daddy just so you know, I don't go to school to get knowledge, I get that from the boys!"

Then Nathan and I headed out the door to his dr's appt. He was tongue tied and today was the day he got his tongue cut. It was a quick procedure literally taking all of 2 minutes with minimal blood. He was crying and the dr said he would come back in a few minutes to check on him then we could leave. So an hour had passed, I was thinking the dr got super busy with a patient, but I needed to leave as I had hurry across town to get the girls to the eye dr. I went to ask the receptionist if the dr was coming in soon cause I needed to leave. She paged the dr cause she couldn't find him and he was actually across the street at the hospital in emergency surgery, not what I wanted to hear. Seriously, why didn't anyone tell me. So I left hurrying across town to get the girls to their appt. on time, which I did and we were even early.

Last year at the girls eye exam Hailey had her eyes dilated and Taylin remembered that and she didn't want to go in case they had to do hers. We pull up and I told the girls to get out and Taylin just sat there. She said, "mommy, tell them I have the swine flu and I can't get out of the car!" She didn't say she was sick, she said she had the swine flu. This was my first important trip out with all 3 kids by myself and they all did such a good job. I was nervous with Nathan cause he had literally just had his tongue cut, but he did really well. He crapped his pants during their exams adding some entertainment. Hailey didn't have to have her eyes dilated this time, but Taylin did and she did such a good job. Hailey has had reading glasses for the last year and had to get a stronger prescription and Taylin got her very first pair of reading glasses as well. It looks like they inherited my bad eye sight. Here is a picture of the girls in there cute glasses. Taylin had to wear them for getting her eyes dilated and what one has the other has to have as well:


Did I mention the week still isn't over?

Making Out 101

This afternoon I was getting Nathan's stuff ready for his bath and well left him in the care of the girls. This is what I found when I came to get him. Taylin was giving him a lesson in making out. Poor guy

The hi-lights of my day

I have been under a lot of stress lately, but there were a few things today that really made me laugh. I love listening as the girls play by themselves. I like the things they make their toys say when they are playing all by their little lonesomes. I was listening to Taylin today and I went into her room and asked her if she wanted to be my friend. She looked at me with total disgust and said, "mommy, I can't be your friend cause I am your daughter." Wow that would be the response I would expect when she was like 13.

As all of you know I have had quite the journey with my thumb. It has now been 3 months and yes, it's still fractured. I received notice that Blue Cross wasn't covering my injury cause I slammed it in the car and therefore had to go through my auto insurance. Today I was talking to the claims adjuster and was explaining to him again what had happened. After I got done explaining it he had the nerve to ask me if there was damage done to the vehicle. I know Ben they are required to ask this, but what a stupid question. The tip of my thumb about fell off and he wants to know if there was damage to the vehicle?

Feeling down

I have just been feeling stuck in a rut lately. Overwhelmed, stressed, overworked, underpaid, tired, lazy, fat, blah. I have a lot going on.

Should I be worried?

Taylin wants to sale her brother cause he slobbers!

Today she also asked me if it would be mean if we rang someones doorbell and left him on the front porch and ran away.

I don't know why she says this she truly DOES love her brother and is so good with him. It kind of reminds me of the time when Taylin was a baby and screamed ALL DAY and Hailey asked if we could take Taylin back to the hospital. It must be an older sibling thing.

Because being a Mommy is what it's all about

These 3 little ones fill my life with so much joy!!

I want to wish my Mom a Happy Mother's Day! Thank you for all that you do and have done for me over the years! You are always there whenever I need you. I love you!

Can't wait

There are a few things I can't wait for:
*my thumb to be back to "normal" doubt that it will. I have exrays in a few days
*to be able to wear a bra that doesn't have "trap doors"
*clean my house completely
*wear my wedding ring again

These are just a few things I wish could go back to normal, but having a new baby around I wouldn't change it for anything. We are slowly getting into a "routine" as a family with the new little man around. We have all once again been sick including the baby, not fun. We are beginning to think maybe it's the house we are living in, who knows. Nathan is a very good baby, but having some problems nursing. It turns out that he needs to get his tongue snipped cause he can't stick his tongue out. I am not nor have I ever been a fan of nursing, but I have stuck it out and have been pumping bottles for him. He can eat better from a bottle at the moment. He is 10 lbs 5 oz as of yesterday, gaining 2 pounds this month. Hailey and Taylin love having him around and are very helpful. Taylin likes to be the mother hen and is always helping, this is a good thing but can be annoying at times. Hailey started track and Taylin is playing t-ball. We can't wait for summer to get here!
