Picture time

Back home! ughhhhh so much to do. True to form once again I had to get my pics. off the camera and onto the computer first, LOL I forgot my battery charger at my daddys and I am thankful John will be sending it to me asap!
Kids are feeling better, thank you Jesus! I have so many pictures, some I will post on my photo blog and you can also visit my flickr (to the right) to see my favs. Praying for a good start to the new year. Brain and I are committed to getting back into health. He did a healthy shopping today. My goals are all photo related and health related, God willing. As always, thanks for stopping by. Be well! xoxo

Have you no God given sense?

I love it when my father uses that term to some random person that makes a 'funny' mistake. I literally find it to be super funny.
I am still in Ky and loving every minute of it, well except for the fact that as true to form both kiddos ended up in the ER clinic. May I preface here and state that not ever once have we ventured from home and not landed in the ER, seriously! Praying come Feb. on our next trip we are all better with no illness of any kind!!Both kids have ear infections in their left ear, bad URI that has Blaine on breathing treatments and between the both of them 6 medications, and $150.00 to Walgreens! UGH and ARGH! Okay so other then THAT, things are FAB!
Not sure when we are going home which was supposed to be today but we don't feel like driving 6 hours.
We ventured to Whitley City and visited the graves, Cumberland Falls, and some family. I have many pictures I can't wait to get home and download. Christmas was amazing for us all. Kids are spoiled naturally as are mom and dad! We brought in the New Year low key which was fantastic...jammies and all! ;-)

Here is to a HEALTHY, happy and blessed 2009.

Who needs Santa when you have Nana!

Our visit has come to an end. It was wonderful to see Jennifer and Nana! We had a blast even though Nana became very ill. Casino fun, dinner at Wapangos, shopping and an early Christmas. The boys made out very well already and we still have two more to go! Blaine finally received his Nintendo DS, like he needed it, thanks aunt Jenn!! Even Brian was lucky enough to get two Wii games. Birthday parties, Christmas parties, oh what fun it is! I will miss them dearly, it was nice to catch up and hear about all of the exciting crazy things that Jennifer deals with being a cop. I can't wait to do a ride along next year, watch out bad guys!!!!
We will be headed to my dads in 2 days and I haven't even started packing so with that said, enjoy the pics and Merry Christmas to all of our readers! Be safe and may your Christmas be filled with the love of Christ and lots of joy! Until the New Year xoxo

Bye-Bye

'The' talk

We received a call this morning that Brians uncle is probably going to pass away today. He is the oldest of the bunch. We were just there last month and he got to spend some time with him, him and Blaine.

I told Blaine that his uncle Donnie would probably be going to live with Jesus today which opened up a conversation about death naturally. He knows that his mamaw is with God but he never met her, so to actually know someone and then hear that they will no longer be here for them to see I think was a little confusing for him. He then said 'Mama, you will never die right?' (okay so I am totally tearing up right about now)I of course told him everyone dies sometime but we will all be together again in heaven. He then proceeds to say that Uncle Donnie will live in his heart with his mamaw and sissy ( I heart that boy ;-)) He asked me why people die. If that isn't a loaded question! I tried to keep it simple and just told him that people die because God needs them in heaven.

What a way to start my day. Remember, I have my family coming in from Tx tomorrow, ugh, it always seems to go this way in my life, December is not nor ever has been a good month for me!

Please pray for his family.

Ho Ho Ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS

Up until the day we arrived at the mall to visit St. Nick, my Blaine yet again wasn't having any part of sitting on Santas lap. I am thrilled to announce he did it ;-) Went right up and sat right down. The sweetest part of the entire trip was him telling Santa what to bring for Leelyn. Choo Choo Trains and cars. I puffy heart that kid! His sweet streak is sweeter then his naughty streak ;-)
Did I mention we got his teeth done? (Don't make fun of the car seat, I still haven't purchased a new cover) LOL Poor kid!
Our computer is on the brinks! Geek Squad is coming out today. It all started when I tried to download CS4 (uh huh, I am totally showing off that my DH bought me CS4 and an external hard drive the other day) yet I can't even play because it won't install....basically I have $1000.00 just sitting here for me to drool over! SUCKS!
Both kiddos are super sick, again! I swear since last year when we went to Houston and they both became very very ill, things haven't been the same! Nana and Aunt Jenn arrive Thursday, woot woot! We have a big ice/snow storm on the way so says the weather channel! YUCK!
I have been a regular @ the gym, 6 days a week, two hours a day. I take off God's day of rest ;-)
Now, if I could just get the food under control, my date for that is January 2nd ;-)
Things are crazy busy around here. We hope all is well with you and yours.

Leelyn's 9m check-up

Poor little man isn't even in the 10th percentile in weight! Barely 18 pounds and that was after drinking a 7oz bottle! His 3rd kidney test will be in a month, please remember him in your prayers and we also have to take him to the dentist to have his bottom gum looked at. It has a weird dipping action to it and the Pediatrician just wasn't sure about it.
ALSO- he told us it was fine to start him on whole milk. YAY! We just need to mix it with formula (3 oz) for a week. No argument there! Milk is so much cheaper! Here are a few shots from my nifty point and shoot! ;-) Hope all is well!
