Spray Park Day

Well I am taking the kids to the spray park today or the pool for little kiddos today. They are so excited. I want to head to Stephen's Lake to get some cute photos of them before the parks. I am *hoping* Kelley will help me out a little bit. And I would like to get some of Taylor with the kids and quiet possibly Kelley with Taylor with her little preggo belly. Ha! She might hurt me if I take one.

So I will be back later to post pics and tell you how our adventure turned out. Also I am going to be updating my NEW photography blog. I am going to try to get to that one day a week. I am not a professional, but I do get some pics that I am proud of....so why not show them off.

Spray Parks?

So about 2 years ago David, Skyler, Kaylee and I went to Oklahoma City to visit Michelle and Chuck-before Emma, and they had Spray Parks. That is where water comes out of the ground from various objects and so forth, it's free and the kids got to play in it. I have been searching for some here near us and FINALLY!!! There are two spray parks in Columbia and one swimming pool that is designed for kids and the best part about the swimming pool is it is only $2.25 for the kids to get in. So this coming Saturday I am going to be taking the kids to either one of the spray parks or the swimming park. It should be a lot of fun. The pictures I have seen do not compare to the ones in Oklahoma City, but at least they are free. We did buy the kids a swimming pool and mom and dad got one too, but I think they would enjoy these a little bit more. Also the one that has the swimming pool, they are doing a beach on it and I am so excited it will be the kids "first" beach experience. They open that up next year...so it will have to be another year wait on that.

Tomorrow is Father's Day and David has to work, I am going with mom and dad and the kiddos to eat at Golden Corral. My parents always like to get there right when it opens, so that means I will be up by 6:30 and down at their house by 7 to make it to Golden Corral by 7:30. Geez! We go through this every Mother's Day, for mom's Birthday and for Father's Day. So to all those dad's out their Happy Father's Day!

Check the blog out!

Amanda from SMG made my header! I so love it! This has to be one of my faves by far! Thank you so much Amanda you ladies rock my socks!

Tomorrow I am taking the kids to see Great Grandma Gerry and paw paw Frank and then we will go to the park before or after, not sure yet. And as for Monday I am not sure what we are going to do.

Last night I was so irritated at David. I worked, yeah it was only for 5 hours but this job just wears you out. When I got home, well lets just say I thought I would be able to relax and watch the shows that had taped. WRONG!! David was watching some kids, 3 girls ages 5, 3 and 1 all girls, and I wouldn't have minded so much but they were here till 8pm and they had gone in Kaylee's room and completely tore up her room and Kaylee's favorite doll is missing one of her legs!! David would not pick any of it up, so about 30 minutes I had the joy of cleaning up Kaylee's room and I still have not found the doll leg yet! And I had not eatten anything all day and I had brought my sandwhich home from work, well it was cold by the time I ate it. He didn't understand why I was so irritated. And not to mention these girls behaved worse than Skyler and Kaylee. Now there is a difference in the way mom's correct kids and dad's. Well David is a push over and they wouldn't listen to him and I had heard enough of the yelling and pushing and hitting each other. So I went in there and in my stern "mom tone" told them to stop and sit down or we were going in time out. Needless to say they were pretty quiet and behaved till they went home. David told me, I don't know how you got them to listen. All I did was look at him and said "authority, David, you have to be the adult." Also not to mention I did not find out he was watching them till after I got home. Man I probably sound horrible, huh!

My kids listen to me and they know when to not push my buttons, I am a pretty easy going mom but I also correct kids when needed. David is a push over and lets anyone get away with anything.

I had Monday and Tuesday off, it was nice to have two days off in a row, and on Tuesday the kids and I went to the park. I got some really great shots! Monday we went to my parents house and they played outside with Taylor. I worked Friday and Saturday both 11-4 and then I have Sunday and Monday off, work Tuesday and off Wednesday and then work Thurs through Sat and off Sunday and work Monday and Tuesday. I kind of wish I had two days off in a row though. I know this Sunday we are going to visit my grandma and grandpa. My grandma went to the hospital on Sunday, her pnemonia had not gone away it had gotten worse regardless if she was taking her medicine. So I am hoping she feels better by Sunday. Monday I will probably go down to mom's but not sure on Wednesday.

The kids are still getting use to the idea of staying with David Wed-Friday and on Monday's when I work. I think he lets them get away with more than I do. But I do know for a fact they have not been taking their naps anymore and you can tell.

Up above are some of my faves from the park!

It's been a little while

Wow! I am so bad with keeping up with blogging, but I do have a reasonable excuse. Work!!! I have been working since Monday without a day off and I work tomorrow. Then Monday and Tuesday I am off work and so READY to be! The job is to say the least not what I thought it was, and I can tell you right now I do not want to do this for the rest of my life. I am still *looking* in the mean time and sending my resumes out as well. I was mislead by the company in several ways, and am sticking it out right now, because I really don't have a choice. I knew I should of kept the kids that I was watching at least until I saw how this was going to go. I could still kick myself for that.

Suprisingly Kaylee has done really good and has not cried when I left. The kids are either with David or my parents, when I am not around.

This past week we have watched He's just not that into you and well it wasn't that great. I thought it was going to be really good. But it was kind of boring. We watched Transformers last night, for the first time, and I really liked it. It kept me on the edge of my seat and was entertaining. I want to see the second one now. I also watched the MTV movie awards the other night and I have to say that although I did not like Twilight, I really want to see New Moon. It looks really good.

I am super excited for tomorrow night to roll around because my show is back on! ARMY WIVES season 3 premire at 10/9 central on Lifetime. I so love this show! I have been watching the Bachlorette as well on Monday's...it's pretty interesting to say the least.

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!
