recap

The week has been forever long!!! we are leaving for a much needed vacation to nc on saturday and I think we are all going nutz from the anticipation of it all. I havent been a very good momma the past week. Just really busy cleaning and packing so my kids are starving for attention. Maddy resorted to smearing peanut butter all over her body to entertain herself. When i neglect to play with them they only tear up the house more so it completely defeats the purpose of cleaning all together. I guess i need to find that happy medium.
Any who For cinco de mayo we had some good authentic mexican food.... taco bell. LOL it was good actually. It was a good excuse to eat out. Jay has been super busy studying for staff. He already took the test so some of that stress is gone. Haley had her MRI on Wednesday. she was a champ. The nurses at the children's hospital are truly God sent. They really made her feel comfortable. I cried like a baby when they put her under. I was able to hold her while they fed the drugs through her IV. She kept saying "what are they doing mommy, i dont like it" and just like that she was out. I just kept kissing her and telling her i love her while she was falling asleep. I sat in a chair at the back of the room watching my tiny baby girl lay there in this HUGE MRI machine. She was really crabby when she came out of it. She couldn't eat anything all morning so she was ready to go eat. Results wont be in for a few days so keep us in your prayers. Her ear doctor is trying to talk me into the Baha treatment for her ear . It screws into her head. what would you do? Here is a pic of it.

The longest week ever

Gosh this week just wont end!!!! Jason had to work this weekend due to the air show thats going on right now. Last week he was in Chicago for four days on a TDY trip. Im wore slam out! Next weekend we are going to the lovely North carolina. It couldnt have come at a better time!



k... im done compaining.

i scored at Goodwill

We had originally planned on getting haley a big bike for her birthday but i was browsing Goodwill yesterday and found this one for just 6 bucks. AND..... it was military appreciation day soooo i got 10% off! SCORE!! I love finding good stuff at goodwill.Is in pretty good shape too. The tires are dirty but who cares. We were fully prepared to pay 45 dollars for a new bike. When i brought it home, jay gave me a shameful look. "that was supposed to be her birthday gift!" That was his reaction. Im like hold up smalls, i just saved us 40 bucks!! Once he saw how excited she was i could see the glitter in his eye also. She is still learning how to use the breaks though. Our driveway is sort of slanted so when she let her feet off the breaks she want flying down the drive way almost into the street. I caught her right before she dove off into the grass. Thank God for helmets.

happy earth day

I asked haley what she would like to do for earth day and she said she would like to plant seeds. So thats what we did. Its a ghetto little garden but was made with love ;) There was a ton of grub worms that lost a home, i felt bad but what can you do. Haley cant wait for her wild flowers to bloom. I hope the pop up for her, shes really excited.

im a big kid now!

My lil stinker has gone potty! I thought this day would NEVER come. She has been refusing for the longest time. I think the trick for her is privacy, when i walk out of the bathroom she goes. She has gone three times so far, still a work in progress. Baby steps right?

Birthday girl

My baby is a year, make her stop growing. She had a great time digging in her Reese brownie. It was a small get together but she seemed to enjoy the attention.You break all the rules by the third child ;)
