It's Been Awhile.........AGAIN!!!

I swear as soon as I say I am going to keep this thing updated life happens and I forget it even exists.  The kids are crazy as usual but that's life and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Let's see if I can do a quick catch up so we can go on and forget that I haven't updated in forever.

Wyatt fell on the concrete during the Great Pig Escape!  Oh wait we have a pig now and her name is Hope.  She acts like a spoiled 3 year old girl and has the attitude of a teenager but she is sweet and I love her.  Anyways Wyatt opened the front door trying to following Dad outside and Hope escaped.  Dad while trying to chase the pig told Wyatt to get back inside.  Wyatt ran and tripped over the threshold of the door and smacked his mouth on the concrete floor.  (I wasn't home at the time)  When I got home I took one look at Wyatt and said, "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BABY?"  A fat lip, bloody front teeth that were loose and I called the emergency after-hours line for the dentist.  They said don't worry and to go to the doctor on Monday.  Well Monday came and they did x-rays and said that everything looked okay and he would get to keep his teeth unless they died or got infected.  i brushed and flossed and kept those puppies EXTRA clean but alas three weeks later at our regular 6 month visit the teeth were dead.  So now Wyatt is sans two front teeth and now I call him the Hillbilly. (It's a joke so don't tell me what to call or not call MY child)

Here is my little Hillbilly!  So cute!

Rachel turned 9 years old on August 4.  She is beautiful and full of attitude and my angel.  She is a 4th grader now and she makes me feel old.  She definitely loves to dress up and has her own sense of style which I love and am concerned by sometimes as I am sure my mom was when I was younger.  She doesn't get into a lot of trouble and is an awesome big sister.  Here is a picture of her.

1st day of 4th grade

Okay and Kelsey is crazy like her brother and loves to dress up like her sister.  She has recently learned to open doors and loves to open the pantry door and eat things.....weird things like tea bags and dry pudding mix and uncooked rice.  It's weird and I have found her on several occasions eating these things under the table.  She is still tiny and loves to climb on top of her dresser and jump off.  This is a heart stopping moment.  I have caught her mid air several times.  She is in love with Curious George and can't get enough of it.  She hasn't done anything too crazy lately but I know it's coming or I forgot what she did.  So I will end this with a picture of all three of the kiddos being silly and sweet.  Till next time.........

Happy Birthday

Today 2 years ago Kelsey was born!  She literally jumped out of my belly!  She is the feistiest little girl I have ever known but also one of the sweetest!  I can't believe that it's already been 2 years!  Happy Birthday baby girl!  You made the decision for no more children a no brainer lol!!  Seriously though she is such a blessing from God!  I couldn't have made it through some of the hard times I've had if not for her coming along!
Till next time........

Long Time No Post............

So I know that I haven't been posting on here but the kids really haven't done anything worthy of writing down.  One of Rachel's best friends passed away so we have been dealing with that.  Some days are better than others but she is working through it in her own way.  She just got back from church camp on Sunday and she misses that a lot.  She bonded with her counselors and loved all of the new friends she made.
Wyatt was doing so well with potty training but alas I jinxed it and he has regressed.  Things are starting to get better but I have to follow him around like an untrained puppy because I find little piles of poo in every room.  God bless this little boy!  He has recently figured out that if he can start to cry and look at me with wide eyes brimmed with tears that he can rule the world.  I can't help it he is adorable.  He loves dinosaurs and runs around the house telling me he is a t-rex! 
Kelsey is well still a bubble full of fury most of the time but she has even been happier most days recently.  She is still mischievous and has discovered that she can climb on top of her dresser and jump down.  She knows how to make my heart skip a beat!  She is about to turn two next week and I am so blessed to have her in my life.
Soon we will become new parents......................to a pot belly pig.  Her name is Hope (everyone thinks that we are going to change her name...I like it though).  She is a 1 1/2 year, 60lb ball of cuddle according to the rescue.  I thought that a pig would be an amazing and very fitting addition to our family.   I mean when have we all been normal???  Right.....so I am excited to be making this a family of 6!  I may even start a blog or twitter page for her lol!
So not too much to get you caught up on other than my children are the best in the world (i'm biased) and I thank God EVERYDAY for them! 
Till next time.............

Memorial Day Weekend.....Quite Memorable

I have so much to write but just haven't got the energy to do it yet just know there is something going on here soon.

What do you do......What do you say?????

Well this week has been quiet for the kids.  Nothing major happening except my back has been hurt so they have been pretty tame this week Thank God!!!!  On Tuesday I went to go to the restroom and Kelsey had taken her waffles and put them in the toilet......umm......what do you do about that?  Luckily nothing got clogged so it wasn't a big deal.  Then yesterday Wyatt comes running in from the backyard telling me he went poop.  I said okay you went peepee (he gets confused sometimes) and he said no I went poop in the dirt and he dragged me out there and sure enough he pooped in the dirt.  I was speechless!  He didn't have an accident in his pants though so I was excited and speechless and confused as to why he would do that.  Apparently though this will be a new occurrence because he just got finished running inside again yelling that he pooped.  I followed him out there and sure enough he did it again!  What do you do........what do you say to that?  I am proud but this could prove a problem out in public if he just drops his pants and poops on the ground.........any ideas folks???  Till next time............

Road Trip to No Where

So I volunteered to take my brother to Sherman for a Doctor's appointment today.......with Kelsey and Wyatt in tow.  1 1/2 hours each way.  Wyatt is potty training and Kelsey doesn't really like the car that much.  The trip to Sherman wasn't that bad.  Wyatt did great and didn't have an accident.  We went potty and then we're on our way.  This is where things started to go down hill.  I knew better than to think that they would be fine in the car for over 3 hours but do I EVER listen to my instincts?????  Well the ride back was full of Whines and cries and craziness where Kelsey was throwing snacks and Wyatt was trying to fling his body out of the window.  They were so unhappy but WE MADE IT!  I have a hurt back going on 3 days now and can barely walk let alone lift a child but we did it and now they are asleep resting their precious heads and I think goodness they are adorable when they are alseep like angels.  HAHAHA!!!!  This is why we don't go on extended road trips especially without a movie. Today was long but in the end all is well.  Tomorrow is a NEW day though so till next time.......

Rachel...the First.....My Angel

Rachel is 8 1/2 years old.  She is growing so fast and getting such an attitude I have whiplash.  I remember everything about her growing up the good and the bad and I have always called her my angel.  She was always so happy and friendly and well mannered.  I know that God gave me Rachel to help me through the toughest times and the greatest times.  She has helped me grow and become a mother that she can hopefully be proud of.  She loves Monster High and Fairies.  She loves her computer and XBOX and you can find her there most of the time.  I TRY to get her outside for friends and sunshine but she likes the vampire pale look.  She is silly and smart and has started the teenage attitude and I don't know if we will survive this time in her life.  She loves to shop and be girly and wants to do gymnastics, which we will start soon.  She hates to comb her hair or do anything with it but LOVES to put on makeup.  She doesn't really share a lot of her emotions sometimes and that worries me but she always assures me that everything is okay and that she loves me.  She hates blood, needles and any kind of liquid medicine.  Oh man and she is strong so holding her down to get this stuff takes more than one person but I love her as I love all my kids.  I can't wait to watch her grow and become even more beautiful than she already is.  Till next time..........
