Sick

Okay, this post is for Randal. This morning he got up and got ready for work, next thing I know he is puking his guts out in the toilet. ( the worst sound to wake up to) . He went on for 5 minutes, no joke. He came into the room to talk to me, he was as white as a ghost. You could tell he did not feel good at all. My kids have all had the stomach flu this week, so its only a matter of time that we were going to get it. So I asked him if he was going to stay home and just take it easy? Yeah right, that means he would have to take a day off, or a sick day. Which he hasn't since 2004. He went to work, he said I just have a few things I need to get done then I will come home. Well here it is 3:30 and he is still at work. How in the crap can he do that? When I get the stomach flu, I am down in bed. There is nothing worse than having your stomach hurt, and throwing up. I am so thankful that I have a husband who is such a hard worker, he is truly AMAZING! He is such a work addict that not even being sick will keep him home. Thanks Rand for all you do for our family. We love you...

How sweet..

One night when I put Ash to bed I had told her I loved her and she replied, " I love you the mostest, mostest with a cherry on top." It was the cutest thing. Now whenever she tells us she loves us that's what she says. I wanted to have this on camera so I would never forget, specially when she becomes a teenager and hates us.

Is it done yet??

Ash has the hardest time when I wash what's left of her blanket. I wash it on the shortest cycle possible , but still it is too long for her to be away. She has to see it washing several times, and then when it's drying she has to keep checking it. As soon as its slightly warm, she yanks it out and starts smelling and sucking her thumb.



This is her BB. It use to be the corner of a nice sized crib blanket. We have to take this thing everywhere. Luckily it will fit in my purse. This picture was taken during the washing cycle. She took the chair into the wash room, lifted up the lid and dug out her corner just to make sure it was ok. Sometimes she will take the chair into the room and just wait. She has fallen asleep many times by the washer waiting for her corner.
This is what she loves to do the very most. Yes the blanket is still soaking wet but she don't care.

Snow day in OCT??

Sunday was quite the surprise for My kids. We told them it was going to snow. Bennett kept watching out the window asking when it was going to snow. When we woke him up to get ready for church the first thing is did was look to his window. Once he seen it had snow he ran upstairs to get the full view. He was so excited. His next question was, " Is it Christmas now?" So as soon as we got home from church he was out playing in the snow. I was surprised how long they stayed out there. Usually it takes longer to get all the kids dressed and ready to play in the snow, then it does that they are actually playing in it.





Ash didn't last very long. I love this picture. Her little nose is scrunched up against the window. She came in, and said its freaking cold mom. She did have gloves on but she took them off. She is just like her mother, I HATE being cold. I would rather be hot than cold.


Kobe and Bennett made this snowman. They were so proud of it. Kobe came running in and said he needed the camera so he could take a picture of his first snowman that he made by himself. He wanted to make sure this would be on the blog. His arms are bigger than he is, along with is mouth and eyes. Its still cute though. My kids love the winter, I absolutely dread it. I hate being cold. It was a fun day, nice change. Not looking forward to whats soon to come.

Tagged Again!

Okay so I thought I have missed all the tags that always go around, oh no! I got tagged again. This time by my cute little sister in law Megs! The rules: You have to tell 6 unspectacular Quirks about yourself and then tag 6 other blogger's. This will be easy for me. Read to the end to see who I tag.. HMMM Who to tag!!


1. I get major anxiety when we drive on the freeway. I freak out!! I hate it, and I really try to not say anything but I can't help it. If a car puts on the break lights I get all tense, my heart starts to race, and I start to sweat. I would rather drive on the back roads. If I know we are going to take the freeway I will stress and worry about it all day long. I absolutely hate it!! If I'm driving its not so bad, but I still get really nervous.

2. Patience. I have none at all. If I ask Randy or the kids to do something, I want it done right now or I get pissy. This drives Randy insane. It has caused many fights. I don't know why he can't just hurry and get it done, then I wouldn't have to NAG him!! ha ha..

3. I'm addicted to Exercising! If I don't exercise I am a beast. I'm a lot better if I get to do my exercising for the day. There have been times that Randy has come home and noticed how ornery I am and ask if I've exercised, when I tell him no he will tell me to go run or something. It just keeps me sane.

4. If I start a project or something I can not quit until I finish it. It drives me NUTS! I will go all day long, sometimes I will forget to eat. I have to finish it. Even if its something stupid like spring cleaning, or even blog posts. I guess its good though, I could be my mother and have a million projects going at once.

5. I can't go to bed with a Messy house. I have to go around and pickup before I go to bed, or before Randy and I can sit down and watch our movies. I get really ornery when my house is a mess. I can not relax until its clean. Also, this is really silly. Randy can't write in the check book register because the hand writing isn't the same, or the ink might be different. It drives me crazy. I like it to all be the same. Little OCD I know.

6. I am scared of Thunder and Lightening. I absolutely hate it. I get really nervous when it storms at night. I will wake up to the lightest sound of thunder. My heart will start to race, my body freezes and I don't dare move. I will hide under the blankets. I try and wake up Randy, but that doesn't do much. Usually one of my kids will come in and I can snuggle with them. I swear that is how I will die. I will probably get struck by lightening cause I'm so scared of it. I have been since I was a kid and still am to this day.. I can't believe I am admitting it.

Now that you all think I am Weird, I tag the following friends:

1. Michelle Woj, Sorry, you said you miss all the tags to so I had to give ya another one.
2. Spencer , sorry spenner!
3. Nikole Schaffer, Welcome back to the blogging world.
4.Ashlee Wright, Since you moved. :)
5.Sara , Of course!
6. Amy Martin, Lets see what ya got! ha ha.

Kids Tag.

Thanks Ab for the kiddo tag. I have somehow managed to miss all the tags that always go around, but I am excited for this one. I think their are some things about my kids that some people don't know. So the Rules are : You have to say 5 things about your kids that people might not know, and you have to do all your kids. Check out the bottom of the post to see if I tagged you.



KOBE 1. Funny. He is always doing something to try and make you laugh. Whether its being goofy when he eats his dinner, or talking in a funny voice. He love to make people laugh. He loves to be the center of attention.

2. Athletic. He loves sports. He is really good at soccer, baseball, basketball. He is begging to play football, but I haven't dared let him try that sport yet. He loves to watch it on TV.

3. A great student. Kobe has been a great student from day one. Every time we go to meet with his teachers they all tell us how good he his and what a little helper he is. Its hard to believe they are talking about my son, cause he is such a tease. He has always been one of the top students in his class.

4. He loves his desserts.. He would have ICE CREAM with every meal if we would let him. He loves ice cream, any kid. He also loves Chocolate. He always makes this funny giggling noise when he gets a chocolate Hershey bar.

5. Tough. He acts so tough, talks tough, but when it comes down to it he is a chicken! He thinks he is going to go to a haunted house this year. My mom tended the kids the other night. They watched a goosebumps movie( suppose to be a kid friendly movie, its on Nickelodeon.) When it came time for bed he was scared to death. All 3 kids ended up in Kobe's bed. Go figure!!

We love our boogies and we are very proud of him.



BENNETT 1. Brown Eyes. He is so proud to have brown eyes like his dad. Every now and again he will ask if his eyes are still brown like daddy's.

2. Tender Heart. He is very tender hearted. He gets his feelings hurt easily. He loves to cuddle. When he was little, when we got mad at him all we would have to do was look at him mad and that was enough for him.

3. Goal Scorer! He is an amazing soccer player. He would take the ball all the way up the field and score a goal and run back on defense. He is a really big stride when he runs. He kicks the ball really hard. He is awesome. He was the top offensive player for his team.

4. Daddy's Best Buddie. Bennett absolutely loves Randy. We will be listening to a song in the car and he will say, does daddy like this song? Cause if daddy does then I do. It doesn't matter what it is, if Randy likes it so does Bennett. He loves to go do side jobs with Randy on the weekends. Randy can do no wrong in Bennett's eyes. He wants to work at Burton Lumber just like his daddy.

5. Dinosaurs. He loves every type of dinosaurs. He watches all the land before time movies. We have a big toy bin of just dinosaurs, and he plays with them over and over. That's where his hair do came from. The movie Dinosaurs, there is a dinosaur named Aladir. He wanted to look like him so we styled his hair into the Mohawk to look Aladir, and its been with him ever since ( from about age 2) .

We love you Schlubbie..


ASHTYN 1. Diet Coke Addict. She loves her Diet Coke. Every morning she wakes up and gets her coke out. She has to have at least one every day to make her happy. This habit was formed by her daddy, not me.

2. Blankie. She use to have a cute purple flower blanket that we would always rap her up in when she was little. Now that cute blanket has turned into a piece of material, and its just a corner of the blanket. Its no longer purple it looks more black. Even after its washed. She calls it her BB. We have to take it every where we go. She sleeps with it every night.

3. Thumb. She sucks her left thumb. She has to have her blanket / corner up to her nose and then she sucks her thumb while smelling her blanket. She can't sleep without those 2 things. Randy has bought stuff to make her break this habit but I haven't had the heart to do it.

4. Dress up. She loves to dress up. She is all girl. She loves to have her nails painted, lipstick on, and her hair done. She changes her clothes probably 5 times a day. She loves to wear skirts, and dresses.

5. Hates Mornings. She is the hardest thing to wake up. She hates being woke up, and when she does get woken up she makes it hell for everyone. She will scream and carry on for at least a 1/ 2 hour. She's definitely not one that will see many sunrises.

We love you Ashy!!
