Happy Halloween!

I doubt that I will be on here tomorrow so for everyone I want to wish you a:

I can't believe that October is over! Today I made Rice Krispy Treats with Skyler, Kaylee and Kailynn. They had fun. I let Kaylee open the butter and put it into the pan and then I had each kid put a cup of marshmellows into the pan. We watched it "smelt" as Kaylee said. But I had to remind them at least 100 times to keep their hands away from the stove. I had chairs pulled up close so they could help and watch. It was so funny....once they got to taste their masterpiece they were like "yummmmmm". We also made witch hats that they can wear. It was really cute.

Tomorrow we are making cupcakes and decorating pumpkins. Skyler has his halloween party tomorrow at preschool. They are going to a nursing home to dance and sing for the elderly...and daddy is going with him (in case he is nervous), they are going to dance and sing in their costumes. Then they will go back to school and pass out treats to each other. I can just tell tomorrow is going to be a SUGAR HIGH kinda day! In the process of all this I have to get my new license plate for my car. My car is due for renewal this month and yes I always wait till the last day for this. I am excited to take the kids out tomorrow. It was so funny I asked Kaylee in the car last night after we left Wal-Mart what she is suppose to say and she said "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, if you don't I don't care I pull your underwear down". I was laughing. I taught that to Skyler about 2 months ago and he has been singing it lately. But I told her to just say Trick or Treat.

But I hope all have a safe and Happy Halloween! And I will be back this weekend to post pictures! But in the mean time I just love that picture at top, has to be one of my favorites of them!

It is so hard to believe that Halloween is only three days away. I hear more and more talk from the kids about going trick or treating. I am not looking forward to being out in the cold.

Not much to report today. I did get another cute picture of the kids. I wish they could be like this all the time...but they know how to push each others buttons. And I begin to wonder....when does it stop! LOL

Happy Monday

You can really tell that fall is here! It is so cold in the mornings and the afternoons haven't been too much better. Tonight it is even suppose to get below freezing! Brrr! I am not ready for this. Just the 1st week of October it was so nice and warm and the 2nd wasn't too bad and then the third just got cold and on from there.

Yesterday mom, Kaylee and I went down to the lake and got some pretty good deals. I didn't even spend all the money I took. Which I am very proud of! But they still need a few things. I love Osh Kosh this year (well I love the shirts that look like they have a tee with a long sleeve shirt underneath) and they have a ton of those shirts...well I got 6 shirts like that for $6.99 a piece and they are so cute! But I got some great deals down there.

Today I had my ultrasound of my spleen, liver, and several other places. They also took blood and did a fragility test. I find out the results next Monday. It was weird having an ultrasound without having a baby in your tummy! LOL!

Tonight the kids have been overly active and are getting ready to head to bed soon. I got some cute shots of the kids and one really cute shot together as you can see above (and I even got in one).

It is def. getting colder and colder! I am so ready for the weekend!

Kelley and I and probably Kaylee will be heading to the lake this weekend to do some shopping.

I wish there was an outlet like the lakes closer to us.

I am looking forward to Halloween more and more! The kids are really getting excited.

We are going to make cupcakes next Friday and it should be fun. I had Skyler, Kaylee and Kailynn filling the buckets with me today for candy for them next Friday...and it was pretty fun. Although they wanted it now...but I told them they had to wait.

Oh the excitement for the day! Kaylee normally goes in her room to do number 2, and so she went in there and said she was going to (can't for the life get her to do it on the potty). So 5 mins went by and I was like let me go check on her...

And what to my wondering eyes did appear...but a little girl and her legs, hands and arms covered in number 2!!! So needless to say I spent 20 minutes cleaning up her. She had taken off her pants and also got it on her socks. She has not done this in about 6 months or so.

But on a lighter note I got some cute pictures of the kids tonight. I was taking these around 5 and it's getting dark here quicker and quicker...not liking that.

So I have offically decided that Kaylee is into Tinkerbell majorly. She gets so excited when she sees Tinkerbell or anything Tinkerbell. We went to get some more shirts for Skyler last night and take a few things back that didn't fit, and she had to have Tinkerbell pajama's! But I have to say that I am glad that she is into something now. Skyler still loves cars...but he is getting into Handy Manny. We had to buy Handy Manny shoes and a shirt.

Well it is offically fall now. The weather is dipping down into the low 40's at night and then only getting into, well if it makes it there, the lower 60's. Next week the highs are only suppose to be in the 40's! Yikes! So this weekend I will be buying Kaylee some pants to go under her costume and a long sleeve shirt to go under it as well. Skyler already has those for his.

Mary and Richard will be making it up here two weeks from tomorrow. The kids are excited. It will be a nice visit. I am not watching kids that Friday...and David is going to be off work that Thursday-Saturday.

So we took the kids to Bob and Melody's today and then went to watch the Saints game. I told David after the first quarter I was done watching the Saints! Talk about frustration. The play calling was just horrible. So I mostly watched the Rams beat the Cowboys butt!!! I am happy for the Rams winning two in a row and winning over good teams. We left the bar early and went to Kohls and got some awesome deals on clothes. We were in Columbia yesterday...but the deals there were not good. I got Kaylee three pairs of jeans, four shirts, Skyler two pairs of jeans and two shirts and Kaylee two dolls for Christmas all that for $100!! I just couldn't believe it, and on top of that I got $20 in Kohls cash to spend later and I just have to spend $20 and I get it free! I do have to take back a pair of jeans and a shirt for Kaylee. Kaylee is wearing 3T in jeans, and the sad thing that is what Skyler wears in jeans. We got Skyler some Handy Manny tennis shoes and a shirt from Sears but the shirt is too dang big.

Kelley picked Skyler up from Bob and Melody's today to go see a movie...well I guess they only sat through half and that is all he could take. They went to see Beverly Hills dog movie, and I told her that he wouldn't sit through it. Bob and Melody took Kaylee to the park and she had a good time. When we went to pick her up she went running past David and gave me 4 huge hugs in a row and said that she was ready to go home. She is such a momma's girl!

Tomorrow the kids will be back but it's just two of them. Monday comes so soon!

Christmas time is coming soon!

So I was thinking today that Christmas is coming up soon...but I didn't realize how soon! It's in 9 1/2 weeks!!!! Wow! That is about all I can say and I haven't done any shopping yet. But I know what Kaylee is getting. She is getting Caring Corners Dollhouse by Learning Curve. It is the cutest thing. Here is the pic of the front and back( it has 6 rooms front and back...12 rooms in all):



This dollhouse talks to you and teaches you also (the house also comes with a baby, a girl doll and dog). The rooms have some of the furniture and stuff built into it and then there are only three rooms that come with dolls that you have to buy for it. Then you just buy the dolls. Rooms are the most at $15 a piece and dolls are most at $7 a piece. Here are some of the dolls to it:




These have to be the cutest looking dolls and dollhouse that I have ever seen. But I am waiting till toys r us sends out the 20% off coupons that I normally get around Christmas time. Then I will be getting some of it. I am not getting all the stuff to it just some. She has seen it several times at Toys R Us and just loves it. Her face just lights up when the house talks. She has also seen the Tinkerbell couch that they have there and wants it everytime we see it. She will probably get a tinkerbell doll too, she is just in LOVE with Tinkerbell.



As for Skyler I know that he wants the Screaming Banshee that Disney Pixar has out now, and I found some new cars that they just came out with. And he likes his Handy Manny doll that he got for his Birthday so he might get the truck that goes along with it:



But Friday dad came and picked up Kaylee and she wanted a bag packed b/c she *was* going to spend the night and then he picked Skyler up from preschool. Well David and I went to the casino and ate at the buffet. It was good. Then about 9:05, I got a call to come pick up some little girl b/c she was crying in the background that she wanted to go home. So we picked her up. Today we went to Columbia to finish grocery shopping that we didn't get done since we had to go pick her up last night, well we went to Wal-Mart and had an oil change. They said that it was going to be about an hour. So we ate at McDonalds in there and then got the groceries and guess what? The car was still not done. And it had been 1 hour 50 minutes, then about 40 minutes later it was done. I just hate going to Wal-Mart for oil changes...but David insists on it since we have the free tire balance and rotation.

Tomorrow we are going to go watch the Saints game at B-12 and Kaylee is going to my uncle Bob's and Skyler is going to watch Igor with Kelley and Taylor.

Halloween Costumes

So I took pictures of the kids in their halloween costumes last night and they are below. I really hope that halloween is not too cold this year! Kaylee's tights are pretty warm..but I still need to find a pink long sleeve top for her to wear under just in case. Skyler will also have his face painted.

Not too much happened today...just really quiet. All the kids were gone by 4 this afternoon and it's just peaceful. Skyler and sissy really play well when they are by themselves. But sissy is in here in the dining room with me on a ride-on, and Skyler is on the couch taking a nap. He refused to this afternoon...so I think he just gave up! But the good thing is he will still sleep tonight and go to bed by 9 pm.

David is off Friday, Saturday and Sunday...so I have informed him that I am sleeping in this weekend for once since I don't have any kids Saturday. He is not too keen on the idea but I figured it's only fair since he gets to all the time. Mom and dad are going to pick up Skyler from school tomorrow and then come and get Kaylee and I can't wait. David and I are going to go eat the buffet at Isle of Capri here tomorrow, it has crab legs and fried shirmp. I am really looking forward to the crab legs and at 4 pm there will be NO line! So it will be a nice break from the kids. I am almost tempted to leave Kaylee at moms...but I know mom will be calling b/c she won't stay. Skyler will, shoot he would live there if he could.

Today was such a LONG day! And boy am I glad that it is over. Katie, I watch her daughter Kinlea, brought a present for me today for my Birthday. I was shocked. But it was such a nice blanket and a warm rich brown and two pumpkin spice candles! Can you say YUM! They smell so good! Kaylee especially likes them. I watch her niece, Kailynn, and the gift was signed from both of them. I didn't know who it was from until after they left b/c Kaylee opened the bag and took out everything and ripped the card open. It was a very nice gift and so unexpected!

Skyler had school pictures today and I bought the cheapest ones b/c I have no clue how they turned out. I am going to take Skyler and Kaylee to get their pics taken for Christmas soon, so I will buy more pics then. I love, love, love the fall...but I do not look forward to winter! I also have a feeling this winter is going to be bad.

Kaylee got her Halloween costume in yesterday and I am hoping to get her picture taken in it tomorrow. It's so dang cute. She is going to be a butterfly fairy.

Happy 29th Birthday to me!

My mom called me up last night and wanted to know if I wanted to come down and eat tonight and I said I guess. And mind you I had not even thought about my birthday and was like what the heck is she wanting us to come down and eat for? Then my sister came over last night and brought a birthday gift from my grandma and grandpa, and then I put it all together. So I called mom back and asked her "Did you invite me down to eat because it's my birthday tomorrow?" and she said "Well duh you dummy." So you can see how I forget my own birthday sometimes. LOL! And no I am usually not that slow.

But yep I am 29! Is that really old? I keep wondering that. But I think age is just a number and you are only as old as you feel! But my cousin Suzanne sent an email saying Happy Birthday along with Michelle (love ya Shell!) and Kelley. Kelley and Taylor also sent me flowers today and I must say thank you (which I did). Skyler did not believe that it was my Birthday until his daddy told him it was. So I guess if daddy says it, it must be right. Then Skyler and sissy sang Happy Birthday to me about a million times and at the end of each time they sang it sissy would clap and tell Skyler "Good job!" It was pretty cute.

Where Kaylee gets good job from is that they both know how to spell their names. David taught Skyler and had Skyler spell it over and over one night until he got it. Well Kaylee has one of those write on things and I spelt her name and said k-a-y-l-e-e. Then she went right away and said k-a-y-l-e. She only adds the one "e" on to the end of her name. So she really suprised me cause I wasn't trying to teach her and I said "good job". I just can't believe how smart the kids are! Skyler says some big words and uses them in the sentence right and I just wonder how does he know that. But Kaylee is the same way as well.

But all in all my Birthday was pretty good.

Columbus Day

It was such a quiet day. I am feeling better today. This afternoon Skyler, Kaylee and I went to Wal-Mart and got two big pumpkins to go outside. They are way too high at the pumpkin patch, so I promised that we would get some big ones at Wal-Mart. They each picked out their own and then we set them on the porch outside.

The kids seem to snack a lot lately and be eatting less "meals". But I guess they all go through that stage. But they do snack healthy. Like teddy grahams, gold fish, string cheese, trail mix, animal crackers, grapes, canaloupe and so forth. We don't keep alot of junk food in the house...if we did David would eat it all and I believe the kids should eat healthy. I have candy for the kids that I keep for Halloween. I bought each of them their own little Halloween buckets and am going to fill them with some candy, and then we are going to make cupcakes. But David is dying to get into that candy. And as long as it stays closed there are no worries! LOL.

I am a HUGE fan of Army Wives and to know that there are only two episodes left for the season just bums me out! And I have even got David to watch it. But I also am a fan of Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Smallville.

I got some fun pictures of Kaylee today...but Skyler is a fight to take any normally. So I didn't get any of him.

New Car seats

So when I took the kids to see the doctor two weeks ago this Monday she said that they both can go into booster seats. Skyler fits the age, height and weight...she said that Kaylee fits the height and weight. David and I had been playing around with getting them booster seats anyways. Well this weekend Target had both that we wanted on sale for $37 each! How great is that. Skyler's old car seat was expired (yep they have expirations on them) and Kaylee's is going to expire next year. I picked Kaylee's up there is a picture at the bottom and then we are going to get Skyler the other one on Friday. He is so excited. Kaylee did not want to get in hers tonight...but she finally came around. I gave Kaylee's old one to mom since mom needs a new one for the kiddos.





Anyways I missed Ashtyn's Birthday party today. I went in to the hospital for more tests and they are suppose to get back to me tomorrow. I am just so tired of this. I just want and answer!

On an even better note...how great are those Saints!! They won big time today and they did play their heart out. And what about those Rams!! Whoa...the winless teams are finally getting their win. The Rams won under Jim Hazlett (the old Saints coach) this was his first game as being name interm head coach. Sorry since I am married to a football fanatic I know about football and yep I watch it. I do have to say how diappointing this past Saturday for our Missouri Tigers and the LSU Tigers.

Skyler was extremely sleepy tonight. He was ready to go to bed by 6:30..but I told him that he could after his bath. So I gave both of them a bath, got them dressed, brushed their teeth and put them to bed by 7:45. They both were worn out!

So I had to jump on here and say that SMG is just awesome! They made my blog for me for free! You can go check them out here:

You have to make an account. Ashley did an amazing job and I just want to say thank you to her. They also do myspace layouts for free as well. And they are amazing. Go check out the amazng ladies!

Also I am going to vote for the first time in I don't know how long this year. The only problem I have NO clue who I am going to vote for. I feel like I don't know enough about either canidate. We need someone who is going to change things and we need it really bad right now...but I am not sure that Obama is the one to do it. And there is just something that I don't like about McCain. Am I the only one that feels like this? The economy has hit and all time low and something is going to have to give. The only good thing out of this is that gas is going down and going down quick. In a mater of three days I saw it jump down 30 cents. I do have to say that I like both canidates running for vice president. So right now I am stumped!

Ok so the week has been a busy one. And so I am glad to see Saturday here. Yesterday I started bleeding...having had my peroid two weeks ago this is very abnormal for me especially since I have never had two at any point since I started my peroid. So I went to see the dr yesterday and they drew blood. They called me this am and said that everything was fine. But to me that is not an answer. Since I am bleeding from where I am a hysterectomy could be needed I was told. However, this is a flat NO for me! I am not going to let someone decide my fate. If I can have kids again and we want to then I want to have that option. So right now we are still not sure what is going on totally. I will be so glad when this all ends and we have an answer!

Anywho David and I went to the doctor and the kids were at mom and dads yesterday so we decided to go out and eat. Which I can say we have not done since July (our 5 year anniversary). It was nice and quiet for a change...except for the people with the kid that was screaming. We both looked at each other and started laughing b/c that kid is normally ours!

Skyler stays at grandmas but Kaylee (sissy...this is her nickname and if you see sissy in other posts you will know who I am refering too) will not! She keeps asking for me until my parents just about pull their hair out. She is a BIG momma's girl!

I am glad to see October here. It is going to start being cool and right now the mornings and nights are so it's nice! I took advantage of the cool weather this am. I got some pics of the kids in Saints jerserys. We are hoping that they win tomorrow. And thank goodness they are going to have another kicker now. So the pics are above. They are growing so fast I just can't believe it.

Well David hit 30 on Sept 8th and on Tuesday (the 14th) I will hit 29. To me age is just another number. I don't think it bothers me like it does some. However, I don't know how I got so old. I can remember just graduating from High School. Crazy!

My first blog!!

So I have decided to jump in and do the blog thingy. But lets see how well I actually keep up with it! LOL

This week has been busy. Starting babysitting not to long ago and I think I have the days down to a science. So I am happy about that. Kinlea, the baby I watch is getting better at preoccupying herself. And the best of all....she is sleeping during naptime. Kaylee has a little friend Kaylynn. Kaylynn is 2 and they have a good time together. Julian the other little boy that I watch just turned 2 today. I think the kids enjoy the company.

Skyler is doing so much better in school. He doesn't cry when he gets dropped off anymore. They went to the pumpkin patch today and he brought home a half green pumpkin! He is very proud of it b/c he picked it himself. I feel bad for Kaylee, she wishes so bad she could go to school and I think she will do well when she goes next year.

As for us we went to the Zey family reunion in Sedalia this weekend and got to catch up with several relatives that we have not seen in forever! Then Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch. The kids had a good time. But like all brothers and sisters they fought and argued the entire time there. I will be attaching some pics from there to here.

But I still have no word on me being anemic. They are still not sure where I am bleeding at. But I know they will find it. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I am happy that it is. But it also reminds me of the past two years, and makes me thankful for everything I overcame.
