Wow!

Lots to post about. I am so bad about keeping up with this lately. Well Wednesday Skyler had his preschool graduation and it was soooooo cute!!! Kaylee was sitting on my lap dancing like all the kids were in the front. It kills her to have to sit with me and not go with Skyler. Skyler's class sang 5 songs. One was 5 little Monkey's and that was the cutest thing. My parents and grandparents as well as Kelley and Taylor were there to see him graduate.

On Friday Kinlea wasn't here so I kind of had a 4 day weekend. David and I stayed home and the kids went to my parents, like every Friday. We had gotten groceries on Thursday, so there wasn't anything to do except relax! Saturday the kids and I went out to see my grandma and spent a little time out there. Then Sunday David, the kids and I went to Kelley's and Joe's. Joe does a thing for Memorial Day on Sunday. There was a ton of people there and I had no clue who any of them were except Joe's mom, dad and step dad. Then Monday we went to my mom and dads and had a bbq. It was pretty nice!!!

Today was kind of a bitter sweet day. I had been on two interviews for Subway for the assistant manger position and hadn't heard anything, so I just figured I didn't get the job. Well today around 10 the manager called and offered me the job. And right now we really need for me to take this job and I said yes. I start Monday. Which is crazy b/c I didn't really have time to tell the kids parents that I babysit for. I was crying when I told Katie. I really enjoy watching Kinlea and I hate to see her go, but babysitting was not making the bills anymore. Since Kailyn left, since her brother died in the accident and her parents couldn't afford to bring her to me and are using a free daycare since they are state employeed, things haven't been too good financial wise. So I had to make a decision and it was to go back to work. But I am excited b/c I have awesome potential in this company. They don't promote by seniority they promote by hard work! Finally a company that does that. I am a hard worker, I always get it my all so I am hoping that I can be a manager at a store sooner than later.

And last....I am so excited!!! Kelley finds out what she is having tomorrow! I think she is having a boy, a couple weeks after she told me she was pregnant I just had this feeling that she was carrying a boy. I had the same feeling when I was carrying Skyler and I knew I was carrying a girl with Kaylee. So we will see!

Over the last week I have watched Season Finale's and I have to say I have not been impressed. The only one that I really liked was Grey's Anatomy. They did an awesome job and it left you in suspense. I for one knew that John Doe was George. As every time they would mention him they would go back to John Doe laying in the bed. The ending was really powerful and just in general great! I just finished watching Desperate Housewives the other night and I have to say woopie doo! Ok so it's suppose to be a mystery who Mike's marrying. Come on give us a better cliff hanger than that. And now on to my favorite show One Tree Hill. I just want to bawl! Chad and Hilarie are not going to be back next season as Lucas and Peyton, and I think I will be leaving the series with them. I feel that Lucas is the heart of the show and without him I just don't think it will be the same. They sent them off in a good farewell and I am so glad that Peyton did not die at the end. I just watched 90210 and it was pretty good. That one made me wonder who/what Annie ran over and the car that was behind her had a WBHH sticker on the back, So I guess someone will know what she did. I watched Smallville and BLAH! I just can't believe that show this year. The show just has no substance. It use to be really good. I did watch Private Practice and that one was just as BLAH. So now I guess it's waiting till September to them to begin...which is only 4 months away.

One show that I am so happy to start watching again is Army Wives, it's back in June. I love, love, love that show and it left us at a good cliffhanger! I am also going to start watching the Bachlorette. That's about all I have to post right now....off to bed!

A new look

As if you couldn't tell right? Amanda from SMG made it and she did an AMAZING job! Those girls are so awesome over there. This weekened went by so fast. Well Saturday we went to Joe's for a suprise Birthday party for him. He was suprised. He is an avid Scooby Doo watcher (even though he is 32, can't take the kid out of ya) so my sister got a scooby doo cake, plates and napkins as well as decorations. The kids love it down at Joe's b/c he lives in the country and owns 125 acres, so they can pretty much go anywhere they want. Kaylee stayed the night down there but Skyler wound up going home with grandma. So Saturday I was left once again with no kids. It was nice and quiet once again. Sunday I went to pick them up. Skyler was at grandma Gerry's house, but Kelley wound up bringing Kaylee home. We had pizza last night and just relaxed.

Today was wild. I had just pulled Skyler's clothes out of the dryer and layed them on the couch to layout before I put them up, and as I was watching Kaylee (which she is just like me, clumsy!) she was in the hallway, which is small anyways, and tripped over her own two feet and slammed her forehead into the wall. But it wasn't a loud hit, but she was crying and when she came over to me she had a bump and it was blue and in about three minutes that bumped had grown severely. So I got worried and called mom. I told her I thought her head was going to explode in that spot, because I have NEVER seen a bump that HUGE on someones head before. But mom told me I did the same thing as a little kid and just to put ice on it and watch her. We got some of the swelling to go down, but she still looks wounded. The bad part is she was chasing Skyler and playing. Poor little girl.

I forgot Monday was Memorial Day, this month has really flown by, and so Sunday we are going to Joe's for a BBQ and then Monday we will head down to moms to relax and for some more BBQ. So it should be nice and relaxing...well hopefully.

And the quiet sets in....

Well it's Friday and the kids are off to mom and dad's and it's so quiet you could hear a pin drop. This is so different than last night was! Skyler was so BAD last night. We went to get groceries and first we wen to eat. All the time in the resturant he kept announcing he had to poop. We had just taken him and he said "I have to poop". That was just the start then we head to Menards both the kids were acting up throwing fits, and refusing to move through the store. People kept looking at us and it was embarassing! Then we headed to Wal-Mart to get groceries, well this was the icing on the cake. Skyler kept either hitting, pinching or slapping Kaylee. Then he was screaming really loud at the top of his lungs and then he started to hit me. That is why I avoid at all costs taking them in public with me like that. Because Skyler can not take no for an answer and has his temper tantrum. I could not remember for the life of me by the time we got home what I had bought. David and I both had headaches and were ready to just sleep.

Today wasn't any better at all. I don't understand why Skyler feels the need to be mean to Kaylee either hitting her or pinching her or sometimes punching. AAAAAAHHHHHH! That is what I feel like. Then once Skyler got to preschool it was quiet...too quiet. Kaylee had said she had to use the restroom, so I wait for about 5 mins and go in the bathroom and oh my..... let me describe what I saw:

There was water on the ground and floor mats, then I see this little girl taking her shorts and dumping them in and out of the toilet, I also see on the floor her underwear completely soaked and her shirt was on but soaked. I just didn't know what to say...I just walked away and put my hands on my face covering my eyes and just sat there for about 2-3 mins. This was just a day today. So I did an extra load of laundry today. Yay! So I am pretty well mentally drained.

I did manage in the midst of things to get some cute pics of the kiddos today. Enjoy and have a great weekend.

Happy Monday!

This weekend was a whirlwind. It went by way too fast! Sunday dad took mom and I and the kids out to eat at Golden Corral. Kelley didn't get Taylor till later so she didn't go, and David was working. Kaylee got a cold on Saturday so she didn't eat a ton. She did eat her yogurt and some ham. Skyler ate like a little piggy. Then we went to my grandma's and Kelley and Taylor were out there. My grandpa's sister and her two boys and along with my grandpa's brother came up. It was nice to visit with them for a little while. After David got off work we went to KFC to eat. Mother's ate free yesterday. We invited my mom and dad, my grandma had just eatten so she stayed at home. It was a pretty good Mother's Day.

The kids and I went home after going to my grandma's for a little while. While we were in Columbia after we ate that morning we went to Menard's. This is a new store for us here. They are like Lowe's and Home Depot, expect I like their store a lot more. they also carry groceries and general purpose items as well. I got the kids some bubbles, the kind that don't spill if they are tipped over. Kaylee got Dora and Skyler got Spoonge Bob. Yesterday they blew some bubbles. Here are some pics of it!



Well I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Last week we just got Skyler's preschool graduation invitations to give out. He graduates on the 20th. I can't believe the school year is almost over with. But he has just learned so much! He is going back next year...there is still some stuff he needs to learn yet. They graduate every year. Next Wednesday he has singing at his school, and up until this point we have missed them; partly because David was working on Wednesday's and I just can't handle both kids at once in public; but this time we are going. I am looking forward to it. He knows soooooo many songs and comes home and sings them. He goes to our church preschool and they do teach him about God, and the things he knows amazes me. Kaylee is learning a lot from him about God as well, and preschool in general. Kaylee has found an extra backpack and is now carrying it around and likes to think she is going to go to school as well.

I took some new pics of the kids, Skyler is so hard to take any of. He says he wants to, but then runs away and hides. Kaylee is still bearable at taking them, but we have to take at least 30 before we get 5 good ones. I have my screen saver set on just general pics and when it scrolls through all the old pics, I just want to cry. I can't believe how big they have gotten! David and I have discussed about having another kid...but it will have to be a couple years down the road if we do. I would love to have another baby...just not yet. I think David is more ready to than I am, but financially we just are not there yet. And I am not there mentally yet either. So in 2010/2011 we may be trying for another...just not now.

I had to laugh today! Kaylee is sometimes just the funniest little thing I have to say. Dylan, a little baby that I watch (well he is one now), Kaylee put him in her doll stroller and as he sat there she pretended to give him a hair cut. At first, which I did not have my camera then, she had her blankie around him like one of those things they put around you when you are getting your hair cut, anyways here is a pic:



I hope that everyone has a great mother's day. My dad is taking my mom, sister and I out to breakfast that morning along with the kids. We do this every Mother's Day and I am ready this year. The kids picked out a Mother's Day card for my mom, and it sings "you are my sunshine". Still have not been able to find anything for her. But I will look Friday. If there is something to be said about Motherhood it's that they never said it was going to be easy...but it is one thing: AMAZING! Happy Mother's Day!

Seems like Saturdays are my days to post. Don't know why...I guess I just don't feel like it during the week. Well last Saturday Kelley, Skyler, Kaylee and I went to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was pretty cute and the 3D was neat. Skyler really like it. It was Kaylee's first movie....but she did pretty good. David and I watched Bride Wars the other night. It was ok...just not great. I really wish movies were like they use to be. Skyler, Kaylee and I watched Hotel for Dogs on Thursday and they loved it. I have to admit I thought it was pretty darn cute!! There was a part where the dogs were taken to the pound and Kaylee started crying. She was so offended that they would be taken to the pound, it was kind of cute. They wound up watching the movie twice.

David and I went to go get groceries tonight and we ate at Friday's. Now if you have not signed up for their stripes card (which is free) you are missing out. Two weeks ago we went and I got a coupon in my email for having a stripes card for $10 off your entire purchase. And then David signed up and got a buy one entre get a second one free. So we ate out for $13.50 tonight. They also have right now $5 sandwhiches and soups. We got the Jack Daniels Chicken sandwhich and didn't know it was $5...b/c the menu said $9.50 but the waitress later told us it was one that they are running this month. She said next month they are suppose to send out another bogo again...so go sign up!!
