Awwww

I sent Colby upstairs to check on the boys. I wanted to know if they had finished cleaning their room and if they were in bed yet. After a half an hour and no Colby I went to check on them myself.

This is what I saw-

Now how cute is that?

Colby......you kill me

Can you see the garage door?

Well you are 1 step ahead of Colby, because he didn't.

*note*
When you text and walk, it usually ends up bad.........just sayin.......

Treasure Map

Chason was finally feeling better today! Yay! He's been sick for a full week and it was so nice to see him running around getting in trouble lol. He watched Jake and the Never land Pirates and asked if he could have a treasure map. So, we made one.

He was so excited!

It was great so see him happy and smiling again.

The baby is just about over the bug, but now Travis has a fever, so I guess it's round 3!

hope this works........

I haven't been able to post for a few days. Everytime I would try all it would let me type is the title.

The boys are passing around the sickie bugs, Shelby tried to make koolaid without any sugar, Colby broke up with his girlfriend (whom we love but I gotta stay out of it) and 1 of Haylees best friends moved away.

Also, we bought a new car.

Thats the quick version of the past few days...............

Travis's 1st haircut

I always put off the first haircut. They just instantly look big. I knew it was time and finally took Travy to get his hair cut.

He was getting major bed head in the mornings and it was knotting up. So I held him on my lap and told the girl to get out her clippers. No way was I gonna make her attempt using scissors on a crying wiggling 2 year old. At first he was not happy.

But soon he settled down and rested his head on my chest. I promised him a balloon when he was all done, so that really helped. When she finished with him I turned him around and took a good look at him. Then it was me who was crying. My baby didn't look like a baby anymore.

I saved a lock of his hair for his baby box.

Yet another bitter-sweet day for me.

Colby

Colby had his very first job interview today. He applied for a landscaping job at our local amusement park. He was so nervous! He wanted to make sure he didn't say or do anything wrong. He made sure he didn't fidget, and he didn't say umm umm when asked questions, lol. Personally, I think he did great and they'd be stupid not to hire him, but I am a little biased.

We have to wait to hear if they want to hire him or not, but hopefully they will be quick about it.

I can't believe how much older he is getting. He is turning into a man right before my eyes. Some days I could kill him, but most days he makes me more proud then I ever could of imagined.

Valentines Day

This is what I woke up to

My hubby loves me..........

I took the boys to preschool today and they made the cutest valentine boxes.

Delivery trucks, lol. They were so excited to show me when I picked them up. Cavin was mad because a girl dared to give him a princess valentine with a princess pencil in it, lol. He kept saying I not a girl!!

I went to my moms after school to pick up a blanket she made for Shelby. It turned out so nice! She worked really hard on it, and it shows. We also got some valentines for the kids from grandma T. She always thinks of them, it great!

When we got home the girls went down to their room and found their valentine presents from me. No matter the age every girl deserves something special on Valentines day.

It doesn't have to be anything big, just something to know they are special.

And let me just say.....my girls are pretty special.

Fun Friday Night

I wasn't able to post yesterday about Friday night, so hear it goes....

I had a very hard day on Friday and needed some down time desperately, so after I had all the little kids in bed I decided to sneak out to a late movie. I told Scott to text me if anyone woke up, and brought Colby and Shelby along with me. This is something I haven't been able to do since I had Troy, but he's finally getting old enough that he's sleeping most of the night, so Colb and Shelb were excited to be able to go out with me again.

We saw "The Grey" and had tons of fun. Its a movie about a plane crash and the survivors trying to outwit wolves who are hunting them. If you hate movies that end in the middle of a scene, don't go see it, lol.

On the way home we noticed it was almost midnight, and since Shelby and I are Twilight fans, we knew Breaking Dawn was about to be released on DVD. So off to Walmart we went. There was a huge line, but thankfully it moved very quickly.

We got our copy

And had lots of fun laughing and being silly in Walmart with all the Twilight fanatics. Colby took the pictures I think because he didn't want proof I dragged him along with us, lol.

By 1:20 a.m., I was in bed. At 5:00 a.m., Troy decided to wake up so I fixed him his bottle and fed him while still half asleep. He went right back to sleep when he was finished and so did I, lol. At 7:00 a.m. Travis started banging on the bedroom door and I knew it was time to start my day.

The night was worth it. I enjoyed hanging out with my oldest kids, and I figure I'll sleep when I'm dead.

blankets and boogies oh joy

I went to Walmart today to get a new comforter for the boys bed. They had them on sale and I had been meaning to get another Cars one so they would match, so off I went. I picked the boys up from preschool and found Chason in a bad mood. He wouldn't walk, didn't want to get in the car.....just stood there with his arms folded. The teacher said he had been very ornery and hit a teacher in her head so he had to go in time out.

And so it begins......

Anyways, in the car on the way home I explained to him he cannot hit anyone, let alone teachers, and he said sorry mama, I won't hit no more. I said that's great and guess what? I bought you a new blanket for your bed! Does that make you happy? He said....


No. That will never make me happy.


That kids a tough act I tell ya. So he start telling me over and over, roll the window down roll the window down! I say, no the wind will get in Travys face and he'll get mad.

Roll the window down roll the window down!

Chason no, it's too windy.

WINDOW DOWN! WINDOW DOWN!

I glance over my shoulder at him and he's holding a small pebble in his fingers.

Ok Chason, I will roll it down. So he sticks his hand out the window as hes chanting, windows down! Windows down!

Ok I am rolling it up now, Travis is waking up from the wind on his face.

He says, wait its still on my fingers mama.

The pebble? I look at him and he says, no.....

My booger.

OH

Good

Lord....



So the next time you are driving and see some dirt on your windshield, be warned......it may be a boogie.

Cavin

Every time I tell Cavin thanks, he tells me "yours welhum"

One day when he's older I will look back and always remember the way he talked when he was little.

And I will smile then, just like I smile now.

Chason

I must tell my kids I love them a hundred times a day. Today, on one of times I told Chason I love him while I snuggled and kissed him, he told me....

Thanks for loving me mom.

Anytime kid....anytime

Super Bowl and Feeling Better

Well its Super bowl Sunday and the Giants won.

ehh.

Colby of course watched it at full attention, but me....not so much.
My favorite part was the half time show with Madonna. I wasn't really into the game because the Bears were not playing lol. The little kids played most of the day, and Chason is finally looking and acting like the little boy we know and love.

He has been sick and not feeling well for the past week. Caden is showing the beginning signs of this nasty bug so I am keeping him home from school tomorrow. When you have a lot of kids, a sickness is one of the worst things that can happen to your family. I am really behind on laundry because of all the extra bedding I have had to wash from Chason getting sick, but hopefully tomorrow I can make a bigger dent in the laundry mountain then I did today.

Shelby

Shelby at school on Jr High Registration Orientation Day

She actually told me, What if your the only mother there? 

???

So I am embarrassing now? When did that happen?

After she saw how many other parents were there she felt better, lol.

Everyone has thought she's been in Jr. High for 2 years now, so it'll be nice for her to finally be there.

I just hope the Jr. High is ready for her!
