Just saying Hi!!

Well it is the start of holiday craziness! The kids last day of school was yesterday for the break and needless to say they are already driving me crazy! Hopefully it will get better once they have things to keep them busy! I had crafts for them to do today but they blew that by not listening! I cant wait for family to all get here I am very excited to have a break from day care kids as well. Well just wanted to say hi to everyone and I am still here! Just nothing exciting going on lately!

One More Day!

So I was watching Oprah and she is talking to the writer of the book that they made a movie out of that is coming out called One More Day! And asking those on the show who they would like one more day with! That made me think who I would like one more day with and that would be my grandma Eve especially since I am older and have alot more growth and understanding of life. Why would I choose her to have one more day with well I was very close to her and when she died it was very hard on me. I would make sure I would ask all about her life. What she would do in certain situations etc. She always had this calming effect with me and made me feel so special. So now I ask all of you who would you like to have One More Day with and Why? I thought it was an interesting thought and would love to know who you would want to spend one more day with!!!

Happy Birthday TIffany!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!! We miss you and cant wait to see you in a couple weeks!! Hope you liked your gift!! We love you!!!!!

We just have a few more things and we are done our xmas shopping I just have to get Rob done when he isnt with me and no kids because they will tell him. We went to Olive Garden for lunch it was so good and I was so full I was gonna burst. I was pretty tired by the end of the day!

Well I got some shirts from Rob and the kids and some shower gel. Robs mom got me these boots I wanted and a shirt. So it was a good day! The kids made me a cake with Aunt Jen it was very cute I should take a picture for you guys even though some is cut up. Today Robs mom and step dad are taking the kids to the Enchanted movie. I think I will just hang out with Cooper he doesnt do movies well yet. Well I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!!!

Polar Express Pictures!

The kids had a blast! They all were a little tired at the end I think even us adults were pretty tired! Mom got more pics because our battery died on us!

Polar Express Day!!

I am so excited today is Polar Express Day! Rob and I and Mom and Dad, Lacie and all the kids are going to Mt Hood today they have train rides that do the Polar Express story! Santa is there and they give you cookies and hot chocolate! We have kept it a secret from all the kids and we arent telling them until we get there. We board the train at 7:30pm so before then we are gonna go up and go to the outlets and have dinner. We will take lots of pictures so that we can share it with you guys I cant wait to see how the kids react. I will post them tomorrow we wont get home til really late!! Have a good weekend everyone.

Appointment Update!

Well I had my appt today and Dr. McCarthy said everything is on track the babys heartbeat sounded great 150 hbpm. My blood pressure is staying steady which is pretty good for me because I am not on any medication right now. Usually I am on some type of medication for it by now! So the bid u/s day is scheduled for Nov 28, 2007 I am excited how about you guys? Well just wanted to update everyone!

Halloween!

So here are some pictures of the kids on Halloween yesterday! They had a great time! Cooper was cute he got right in there with them! But he only lasted about ahalf an hour to 45min then passed out in his stroller!

Happy Birthday Rebecca!!

Rebecca just wanted to wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a wonderful day and that all your wishes come true! We love you and hope you like the goodies Chase brought back for us!

Just checking in!

Well I havent updated on my blog for a little while! Not much is going on just the same ol daily routine! I think we finally got all the costumes for Halloween figured out! Savannah is a butterfly, Hunter is gonna be a Kangeroo(yes I know but that is what he wanted), Sage is a Oregon duck cheerleader all her idea, Cooper is a Zebra he looks so cute in the costume I will post pictures when it is Halloween. We are very excited to see Uncle Chubes this weekend even if it is just for a few hours! Well I am almost 16 weeks it is going pretty fast everything has been pretty good the only complaint I have is my lower back has been killing me! I went to bed at 8:30 after I put the kids to bed because it was hurting so bad! That is the not so fun part but the cool part is that I am feeling the baby move which is always the coolest thing I have been feeling it for a few weeks now I cant wait for the kids to be able to feel it! Well that is about all that is going on with us!

Happy Birthday Robert!

Today is Robs birthday! We went out to dinner last night without kids because that is what he wanted for his birthday! It was nice to have a night out! Then today he wanted to take the kids to the pumpkin patch which he did and they had fun they got to go on a hayride which was free then got to pick out a pumpkin for free too! They had a good time! Savannah was at birthday party! I know on Sunday! She goes to the pumpkin patch with her school!

My appointment!

So I had my doctors appt yesterday! It went good I heard the heartbeat for the first time it was around 150 beats it is always the coolest sound no matter how many times you have heard it before and it makes everything more real! I have been feeling this baby move already which is cool I cant wait for the kids to be able to feel it! They are older now so some of them will understand it more! So everybody needs to give me name suggestions because I have none that I really like yet! My next appt is Nov 5 then I get to schedule my ultrasound then three weeks later which will be the end of Nov that we will find out the sex. I think it is a girl and I have been right with the rest so we will see if I am right this time! Just thought I would give everyone an update!

More party!

So instead of blowing out the candles Hunter smashed his face into the cake on purpose! I wonder where he learned that from ( his father) It was an ice cream cake too!
Hunter had a great time! He got alot of soliders and army stuff what he wanted! He got a new bike which he is excited about! His real bday is monday but he sure loved his party! There were alot of kids but fun!

Cooper's A Little Boy Not My Baby Anymore!

He doesnt look like my baby boy anymore! He looks like a little boy! But it had to be done his hair in the back was getting so matted no matter how many times I combed it so I broke down and let Rob cut it! So what do you think?

Stampin Up Fun!

Savannah's First Soccer Game

Savannah had her first soccer game yesterday! They did pretty good!Hunter's first game is today! They are fun to watch because they all run in a cluster and all try to kick the ball.

Hunter's Crazy Masks

Rob took him to hang out with him when he was doing some errands. They made a little stop at the Halloween store and Hunter had fun trying on different masks.Rob thinks the second one fits Hunter pretty well. What do you think?

Aunt Lacie's fun!

When we came home from the game Lacie had done some hairstyles and this was Coopers!

Roaring Rapids Pizza

Yesterday we went with mom,dad,lacie, the boys and Pat and Jean and there two boys to a pizza place here and they have a big merry go round the kids loved it they had a blast!!Pat and Jean are a couple that we know from when we lived in the philippines.

Army Wives

So I was watching army wives last night. Yes we know the show drives Chase nuts because the mistakes they make. Well anyway I got pretty emotional that show always does that to me. But I realized that I admire Rebecca for loving my brother so much that she is willing to deal with the sacrifices that military families have to go through. It also made me realize that it has to be so much harder for Rebecca because she is with Chase on a daily basis. Where as we see him occasionly and when he is deployed I can just imagine him somewhere safe does that make since at all. I love my brother alot and I am glad that enjoys serveing our country his love for it makes it easier to support it even though it is a constant worry for us all. So anyway thanks to both of you for all that you do for our country and for each other.

What do you think of these?

I thought of Sydnee or Sirena for girls so far and Rob gave me Sasha but not to thrilled about that one and for a boy one so far Mason. Doesnt hurt to think of some possibilities now! Only one more full week til school starts yeah!!

So Cooper didnt want to give in a take a nap earlier! So look what I found when I went to check on the kids playing! Isnt he cute! So I guess he was a little tired!
So everyone I am gonna need help with name ideas! This round is gonna be hard dont really have anything that I am drawn to yet!

IKEA!!

Yesterday we went to Ikea! It was fun! I got some goodies and finally a duvet cover for out room! I went with a different one then I wanted origanlly because family members already have it so now I went with gray and black squares and I am gonna use a red for some color in the room! Then we stopped at the outlets on the way home and shopped and let the kids walk around. We went to the carters outlet and looked at the baby clothes some cute stuff but need to know the sex before purchaseing anything. I have to start over with this one because I gave everything away and I mean everything even maternity clothes so I am starting from scratch. They had these onesies that were blue and browns for the boys and pink and browns for the girls they were so cute! I guess once we find out what we are having we will have to make a trip to the outlets. So we had a good time. I totally forgot to take pictures though I am retarded!!

O MY GOSH!!!

Well this is it guys! I am a chicken and dont know how to tell everyone especially when there are some that arent gonna be excited! Iam in total shock but not much I can do now! So I am sure I will be getting calls!

I am Back!

Thanks to Tiffany we now have a computer! We were gonna have to scrap together some money to get a new tower but Tiff had one that they dont use and gave it to us I am so very grateful and love to have a computer again! Tiff Love You! I will catch up tomorrow on everything!

Yes I am Alive!

Sorry I havent been able to post our computer has a virus so it isnt working so while I am at moms I thought I would chech in with everyone. Hopefully we will have a computer next week sometime. So I will be back then!

So Splint Didnt Last!

So Savannah didnt last with the splint she tried to take it off twice because she couldnt do what she wanted like going on the monkey bars! So I took tonight and they put the cast on! It is pink! She wants everyone to sign it and yes I am taking pictures for her scrapbook! I totally thought it would be Hunter too who would brake something! She isnt to happy about the not being able to get it wet part.

What a day!

So today was just a regular day of watching kids then Savannah fell of the play structure in the backyard and we had to take her to the doctor and she had a x-ray and she broke her wrist she has a buckle fracture so she has a splint for now she has to wear it for 3 for 4 weeks but if she doesnt keep it on we have to take her back in and get a cast put on so we will see how long the splint lasts. So we have her up in bed now resting gave her some tylenol and she will be asleep anytime now.
Cooper is walking all over now it is cute because he is still woobly but he thinks he is pretty neat! I will try to take pics of Savannah next time we are with mom! Happy Birthday Brandi! Hope you had a good day and a fun party!

Just a little bit of everything!

Hunter upset that he had to give some candy to Austin!

Savannah picking berries!
Well I guess that is it for now mom and dads computer crashed so they lost alot of the pictures unless they were loaded on costco.

Just Rambleing!

So I cant really post any new pics from the last week because they are on moms camera and I dont have access to them right now but Tiff and Lacie posted some. Let me tell you it is frustrateing not having a digital camera that is defintely what I am saving up for now. Well I also wanted to let those of you who love Uppercaseliving that they just came out with there new catalog so check it out. Have two parties booked so it is starting to pick up. I really enjoy there stuff and coming up with ideas of diffrent ways to use it. Well everyone is at the coast today but we couldnt go because I have kids to watch today. So that is a bummer we dont get to hang out with everyone! It has been a crazy day with my four then 6 others that I watch that doesnt happen very often that they are all here the same day but at least it is almost over the last three should be picked up in about a half hour. Yeah then it is time to figure out what is for dinner!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAVANNAH!

Today is Savannah's 6th birthday! How time flys! I can remember the day she was born just like it was yesterday I have remember to cherish each day with all my kids because before I know it they will be grown and have there own familys. Savannah is my drama queen! She is my nosey rosey! She is my helper! I sure wish that I had inherited the beautifuls she has nice full thick head of curls!

So I just wanted to share with everyone that Cooper in the last week has taken his first steps and he is working on more but all day today he used the toy mom,dad and Lacie and the boys got him for his birthday to help him learn to walk he was going all over the house today with it. I dont have any pictures to share yet but I wanted to share this milestone with everyone so I am guessing in the next week or so we will have a new little walker on our hands but I think then I will be in for some trouble because he will into even more things.
