Tonight... I BLOG!

I am SOOOO far behind! I cant believe it...Looking back at all the pictures I have posted make me smile..Hard to believe the kiddos have grown so much! I watched a video of out Neighborhood Spring Fling in 2007...So hysterical! We have all changed so much! ;)

The Sunny Spot

I came home from the gym today and all my critters were laying around the living room...each in their very own sunny spot...stretched and relaxed like there was not a care in the world! I couldn't wait to find my sunny spot and RELAX for a while! Your laughing....Ya me too! Miss Riley has had other plans as did the hair all over my floor from my relaxed, loving life, critters! Time to clean! Its 2:30 and I have 1hour remaining until the boys come home....their friends will follow and my house will become party headquarters! ;) Enjoy the day! Its GORGEOUS out!

getting back in the swing of things....

Hey there! Long time no blog! I was sitting here waiting for my date night ride to arrive so I thought I would grace you with so words of wisdom...ha ha...and now my ride has arrived..so it will have to wait! ;) The kids are back in school and I will have a little more time to work on my blog again! YEAH! I miss it! Enjoy your Friday night!

 

Kadens graduation from Kindergarten 2009
Mrs Davis and Mrs Moser

2009...Totally retarded so far!

What a year it has been so far! Nothing short of annoying, challenging,dissappointing and devastating! I guess thats what keeps up going right??! Gods little tests to see how we handle adversity. It is hard sometimes to look at the tragedy around you and see something good in it..What lesson to learn...We have a great friend whos wife has cancer throughout her tiny body..They gave her less than a year to live..She is 27 years old! Such a shock! Pray for them both!She is fighting and praying for a miracle! We have several friends and relatives who have lost jobs and can't find any work...some facing losing thier homes...Pray for those who are looking for work! Have you seen "Kitt Kitridge American Girl"..It is a movie about losing job, homes and livelyhood because of the economic crisis of that time period. It is so today! I think everyone should see it! I took from it that there is nothing more important than being with your family...so much more important than something material like a house, pride or status...A house can be replaced..but a "home" is with your family. I feel blessed to live in NWA! I think we are in a bubble and don't see what is going on around us....I keep hearing stories and it is frightening! VENT VENT VENT! My 1:30am insomnia rant! lol

I am laying here with my hubby snoring and I can't sleep..so I am THINKING! Thinking about wall color and flooring, Koles test tomorrow...Insurance and what bills I need to pay! on and on! Calgon! Where are you....We had a flood in our house..I will post some pics at some point...But we are replacing 90% of our downstairs flooring and some other stuff...UGH! We were out of town and our toilet ran over for about 7 hours..LOTS of water! It is a blessing in that I get to paint and redecorate..But the waiting is killing me! I have no patience at all..maybe this little test is to teach me patience! I wanted it all fixed the day it happened! It has been 3 weeks and a day! Still nothing much done...We impatiently started painting..But I love it! So glad we chose the colors we did! I just need to find a complinetary color for the back entry...It clashes now..Can't have that! Well..I am going to attempt to sleep through this lovely. loud, snoring that my husband is serenading me with...Good Gravy! Happy Valentines week!

What a crazy year! On to 2009!

So I am a little behind on posting pictures...Whats new! Can you believe it is already 2009! Where on earth did 2008 go? Seems like just yesterday we were ringing in the new year 2008! So far 2009 has been a little slower paced! We have stayed home a lot lately..Which is really wierd for me! I have this disease that I always have to be doing and planning...Sean hates it.. :) It just seems wrong to sit and do nothing when there is so much to see and do..LOL...BUT I must admit it is very nice every now and then to stay home!

SOON! I am going to try and add a few pics from birthdays etc...catch up pics! Hope you are having a wonderful 2009 so far! Lets all pray for another year of blessings!

Birthday month has come to a close! Whewwwww

Another year! I can't believe it..My babies are now 10, 6 and 4....WOW...I FEEL OLD! Here are some pictures of their big days! Kole had his party at War Eagle Cavern..It was really fun exploring the cave...Checking out bats...Perfect party for 10 year old boys! Miss Riley had her bash at Chuck E Cheese...That was what she wanted..But never again! It was a mad house! The kids had a ball though!
Riley looked at me with a big smile and said..This is the best Happy Birthday party ever mom! I love my friends!Thank You!
It made it all worthwhile! Kaden had his party at Great Day Skate...He and his friends had so much fun! The parents had fun too! We learned that inline skates are easier for little ones to learn on..WIERD! He had a wonderful time!

Enjoy the pictures! Koles are first..the rest I will add as I get time today!

Time! Where does it go?

I know! I know! I hear it all the time...I will make a promise to work on the blog and have fabulous pictures of BIRTHDAY MONTH posted by Monday morning! My kids have all turned another year older! Hard to believe! 10,6 and 4...I do miss my babies! But we have so much fun now..We can hike and explore and they are a little more independant...In Rileys case..ALOT! Another chapter in life! Whats next? LOL

Look for pictures soon! Kadens party is this Saturday..so the month will be complete! Have a blessed day!

Kadens football debut~

Kaden had his first football game last week...He is LOVING it! He is going to be my football star! Riley my cheerleader and Kole the socialite in the stands! Kaden has been the reciever and running back..that boy has some speed! It is so fun to watch!

Burrrrr..It is COLD out~

Hey all...It is so cold today..I am loving it! I am sitting here catching up on my blog and moms in the hood keep walking by with thier kiddos...5 in the past 2 minutes..ooopps..there are 2 more..dads this time! It is kinda funny! Ri is still in bed..or we would be out there with Ris cool new jogging stroller...She loves it..Thinks she is so special and NO ONE gets near it! We walked last night and I though there would be blood shed when Kaden tried to sit in it! She is a little fireball! My mom sent me a picture of me when I was Rileys age...I never thought she looked like me...But I saw this picture and it changed my mind a little! Anyhoo..Here is is! Enjoy the day! K

Happy Birthday little Bro!

My brother came to Bville to celebrate his 29th birthday...29!!!!! I can't believe it...It seems like just yesterday he was the annoying 6 year old Sean and I locked in the bathroom, holding the door shut, so we could kiss in the hall! ha ha.... It is really hard to believe that I dated Sean when my brother was my sons age! So wild! But anhoo....K turned 29...Mis wife and my adorable niece,and my mom and dad went to beef o brady's for lunch after 3 soccer games and a little rain..then to fast lane to do a little bowling..It was really fun. Then we came here for cake and ice cream..TRANSFORMERS!!!Little K loved to bowl...She would help the adults roll the ball and scream with excitement...Ri slept through a TON of noise! I don't know how on earth...But she finally woke up and bowled a little...Koles friend came with us and about beat us all! He is great for 10! My parents played the Wii...I think they had more fun doing that than anything! I could not get them to stop! CHRISTMAS PRESENT maybe? They were laughing and having a good ol time! It was nice to see my dad not sleeping on the couch for a change..LOL...Kaden has Wii Tennis down to a science and NO ONE can beat him! It is crazy! It was a good day! Next time...Laser Tag!

What the HECK!!!!!!!!

Well...what can I say..but boys will be boys....I asked Kole to be home at 5:15 tonight..He never showed up...We had to pick up Sean at work and be at Kadens game by 6pm...so I got in the car and drove around the "hood" to look for him...This is what I found.....

Fabulous Florida!

Here are some pictures of our trip in August. We went to Destin just before school started..We got home..enjoyed the weekend..the the boys started school..It was the perfect end to the summer! I have so many pictures..I will get them all on here as I get the time. Enjoy the Emerald Coast! We could have stayed forever~

Can you believe..Summer is over!

Can you believe summer is over..Back to school they all go! We have had a blast this summer...Is seems like we were never home...The boys started school in August...Kaden went to Kindergarden and Kole is in the 4th grade...Kaden loves school..We walked him to class for the first 2 days..then he was cool to go on his own...Kole told us he did not need us to walk him to class...so Sean picked him up and carried him...Kole was about to die! It was funny...After we dropped the boys at school..Riley and I went to get our hair done..pedicures and manicures..She has become quite the little diva...

Riley had her first day at Tiny Tots..She has gone with me to take Kaden for the past 2 years..Now it is her turn and she is so happy! I took her and she just went right in class with Miss Misty...She was ready to go..I turned to leave..said see ya later..and TEARS welled up in my eyes..my throat felt all tight..you know the feeling..I was thining..what the heck! Totally did not expect that~ It hit me that this is it..My little baby girl is starting school...I will turn around and she will be at Central Park! I felt like I had just wished away my time with them...always ready for them to start school...Now that the are..I am a little lonely...poor me huh! So silly! I love my kiddos!

So...The crew is officially at school for the year! Kole, Kaden and Riley have thier first soccer games on Saturday..Riley started ballet today...Kaden has football and Kole is begging to take Tennis...It all begins...The Stephan Taxi is back in action!
