My Life In Scraps

Face Lift

2010-08-12T22:22:00.000-07:00

Well I stumbled upon a blogger background site and decided what the hey I'm going to re-vamp the blog it's been the same for well over a year and truthfully I've been neglecting my blog for far to long, So without further anything..lol..here's the new facelift..I'm really liking it but know it's going to take some time to get used too.

Well I'm off to bed it's way past my bedtime but I was having fun playing around on the blog..I shall be back tomorrow with a me and family update.

Night All..xoxo

Daddy Love..Hehe

2010-03-09T07:34:00.000-08:00

Peyton was in a mushy mood yesterday and I was able to get a very sweet moment between Peyton and her Daddy on my camera, her she is giving daddy smooches..aww..lol

So I guess well I'm on here and actually writing I might as well give an update since it's been awhile and things have been busy and very hectic here the last little while, plus my other computer crooked and I had to get a new one hense why there are really no updates from me.

Update: Peyton is turning the big 1 on sunday *sniff* I really don't know where the time has gone but I do know that it went by way too fast and now my little baby is not such a baby anymore and now she's got this thinking that she's independent so she freaks out at alot of things if you try and help her, she's almost walking now well she walks holding onto her walking Hippo toy so it's only a matter of time before she lets go of that and tries a few steps on her own.

She also has 4 teeth now 2 bottom and 2 top, it's too cute when she gives a big grin all you see are 4 little teeth..lol

On Saturday were throwing Miss Peyton a B-day Party at my in-laws house, because they have more space then we do here so it's just easier, I got all her decorations and Daddy bought her party dress and on Friday, Ryan and I will be making Peyton her B-day cake (were making an In the Night Garden cake) since Peyton loves that show.

So stay tuned for Peyton's 1st B-day Pics :)

Other news: Dallas informed me lastnight that he signed up to be on the school's basketball team and I'm so proud of him since he doesn't really seem to be interested in much these days, he likes to watch t.v..lol. So I'm happy that he'll be doing something that he likes and I hope him all the best and all the luck and Mommy supports him all the way. Love you Dallas.

Joshua has lost his 2 front teeth (I'll try and remember to take a pic of him after school).
Chloe is doing well at school and has made alot of friends, I'm very proud of her.
As for me it's the same old, just cooking, cleaning and the kids, haven't had much me time in awhile I would say it's over due but who knows maybe in the next coming weeks me and the hubby can sneak out for a date night..lol
Well I'm off to go and clean my house up and maybe take the girls for a walk since it's been beautiful weather outside.
(P.S. (note to self) Need to re-vamp the blog again :P)

Oops..My Bad

2009-09-07T19:31:00.000-07:00

Ok I feel so bad for leaving my blog without any love in awhile, but so much has happened here it's just been crazy, taking care of the 4 kids a cat and a dog, plus dealing with family issues and now the back to school thing tommorow it has me so busy, oh and add my computer crashing in there too..yep my dang computer crashed while Chloe was on it playing games on the Barbie website she was devestated..lol..so I had to tell her that it wasn't her fault and that my computer was on it's way out anyways it was bound to happen at anytime. So needless to say Ryan's brother came over on saturday and re-formatted it for me and she's up and running again so now I'm just trying to get everything back on it again and upload my pics, scrapping stuff etc..

So I'm slowly getting there..I have so much scrapping stuff that I need to catch up on for my CT's but I don't mind I'm sure tommorow you'll find me scrapping my lil heart out.

I can't believe that summer is already over and that the kids go back to school tommorow which is going to have me out of whack for a couple weeks till I can back on my routine..So I'll probably be a grouchy bear the next few mornings..lol.

In other news Miss Peyton will be 6 months old on the 14th, it's crazy I can't believe how big she is already, she's like 22 pounds now, and is in a regular carseat, eating solids, trying to sit up and she loves to babble away, it's still hard for me to believe 6 MONTHS!!!!..my baby is already growing fast.

Well I'm off to finish packing the things the kids need for tommorow and also make there lunches. Nighty Night All..xoxox

Chloe's 5th Birthday

2009-08-14T06:47:00.000-07:00

On July 29th my Babygirl Chloe turned 5, yes 5 already it's crazy but I'm a proud mama, this year we didn't have a party just some family over, opened gifts and had Cupcakes, but all in all she had a great day and then after dinner we went for a walk at the waterfront which I forgot my camera so I have no pics of that..booo..Anyways here's some picyures of Chloe's special day!!

Amie...xoxoxo.....

Busy Week...

2009-07-05T21:22:00.000-07:00

Yep, that's what I feel like I need to drink a whole bunch of..(starbucks coffee).. just to keep me awake..lol..and here's the story why..so yesterday we went to Ryan's parents house in the afternoon because his grandparents were coming up for a visit and they wanted to see Miss Peyton, so we went there around 3:30pm I believe and we were there till about 10pm, so we had dinner and everything there and us and the baby were outside most of that time, So Peyton got tons of fresh air and she was happy about that. later on that evening we also gave Peyton a bowl of pablum and she also had her 8oz of formula, she was very happy and had a full belly..lol..so we all figured that she would've slept great lastnight...and guess what...That so wasn't the case she was up till almost 4:30am it was awful and I was soo tired..I finally got her to fall alseep ( a good sleep) at like 4:30am so I was able to finally get abit of rest and then she woke us up again around 8, had her bottle and then went right back to sleep, but staying awake till that ungodly hour lastnight just killed me I've been pretty tired here and there throughout the day..but am still up and just trying to relax and enjoy the quiet since all 4 kiddos are fast asleep in the beds.

I also have been trying to scrap when I can but hasn't been too much lately, since Peyton has decided that lately she wants to be held 24/7..I have every baby thing you could imagine and she's just not interested she would rather be held..little stinker :P

Oh and over the weekend I finally got a new dining room table and chairs it's a nice set and I got it at a very good price and it's from Ikea..I love it. I would post a pic but it will take me forever to find one, so maybe I'll post a pic tommorow.

Well not much is new here, the boys are home for summer break and all the kiddos are keeping me on my toes.

I shall be back tommorow with some pics and some scrap pages.

Nighty Night all

Boom Boom Pow

2009-06-04T08:15:00.000-07:00

Hahaha at my title for today..but truthfully that darn song is stuck in my head so I figured it was only right to use it as my title..lol..Right now I'm sitting here awaiting my Timmy's and my almost 3 month old daughter, she spent the night at her Grandma's house lastnight and I'm looking forward to getting her back and cuddling with her..Peyton is getting big it seems that everyday goes by fast and she just keeps growing I can't keep up somedays she's already into 6 month pj's and she's not even 3 months yet..it's crazy at her last doctor's appt she weighed 12 pounds and 11oz and was 23 inches long. That doctor's visit was hard for us (specially for her daddy) because she had her first vaccinations the first was went ok she didn't cry just made a noise but when they did the second one oh boy she screamed and I felt so bad and her daddy was holding her so he told me that for her 4 month vaccinations I get to be the bad guy..great I'm not looking forward to that, I hate seeing my baby in pain.

So not to much exciting around here just been keeping busy with the kids and then trying to stay on top of the house cleaning, but not all the time does that work out for me...right now I have a huge pile of laundry sitting on my bedroom floor that needs to get done..shhhh..lol...I'm hoping to get it all done today, it just sucks because in my apt buliding they only have 2 washers and 2 dryers and like 14 apts so needless to say everytime I go to do laundry there's usually other's that are doing there's and I have to wait..so I'm hoping that today when I go down there there's at least a washer and dryer free..one could hope right..

I also have some pics to share of the kids from the other day, I finally got a few pictures of all 4 kids together which never happens very often now, because the 3 older ones don't want to be bothered by pics so here's a few of my 4 kids..

....xoxoxo.....

Bad Bad Blogger..oops...

2009-05-05T06:07:00.000-07:00

Yep the title says it all I've been a bad bad blogger..lol..I haven't updated in like 2 months..oops..things have just been really busy and I haven't been able to find the time to really sit down and write on my blog..right now I have abit of time cause the baby is sleeping so I thought I would get on here and update as much as I can.

Anyways I had Miss Peyton on March 14th 2009 @ 11:10am I was almost 6 days past my due date. I guess she just really liked it alot in there and didn't want to make her apperance on time..lol..Here's abit of the Birth Story I copied and pasted it from my Mommy's group so I wouldn't have to write it all out again.

I was supposed to be induced on Sunday(March 15th) because Peyton was being stubborn..lol..well i never made it to my induction appt because on friday night i went into labor. I kept having what I thought were braxton hicks because they really weren't all that painful so for awhile I didn't think much of them..so my fiance Ryan and I decided to go and visit with my mom for something to do and I was still having them, my mom was like oh no..lol..but she started to time them and they were about 5-7 mins apart and I just looked at her and said it's nothing because they didn't hurt so no way did I think I was in labor..we got back home around 11:30pm and watched some t.v and I was still having them then when I went to go to bed around 1am that's when they started to get worse and uncomfortable but I tried to lay down anyways well they did end up getting worse where I had to breathe through them so around just after 2am I told Ryan that I was pretty sure that I was in labor and that I thought that we should go to the hospital he wasn't sure what to think since I have had false labor a few times already..anyways I get my bags and make sure that I have everything that I need and then we got into the car and headed for the hospital, we get there I had to register quickly and then off we went to labor & delivery were I sign in there and then they take us to a room, hook me up to the monitors and do an internal exam and the nurse tells me that I am 3-4 cms we were like wow that went pretty fast..lol..so she leaves me on the monitor for abit and at this time my contractions are stronger but I just breathe through them, the nurse comes back in and we went through all the paperwork and then I opted to go into the whirlpool tub to take some of the edge off..I was in the tub for about 30 mins and then couldn't deal no more and got out and Ryan told the nurse that I wanted the epidural, around 6:30 am I got my epidural and I was 6 cms I believe and then the doctor came and broke my water after that. After my epi kicked in I was smiling and just chilled right out..I was happy..lol..but after a period of time my epi started to wear off and I could feel the contractions again. around 11am I was checked and told that I was fully dilated and we started to push with just the nurse there. At first my pushes weren't really doing anything and they figured that I would be pushing for at least 45 mins to an hour..well I proved them wrong..lol..the nurse almost had to deliver peyton with the last 3 pushes I had her out she came out very quick. at 11:10am Miss Peyton Nevaeh Elizabeth M was born weighing 7 pounds 13 ozs and she was 19 inches long, she's just an amazing baby and were sooooo HAPPY!!

Peyton is now almost 2 months old..the time just seems to be flying by..she's such a sweetheart and I just couldn't imagine life without her in it..right now she's smiling alot and she coo's and just today she rolled on her side..lol..she's pretty much sleeping through the night right now so I'm not even complaining..I'm not a sleep deprieved mommy. Things are pretty busy around here though and sometimes the house gets neglected because I just don't have the time it takes during the day since Peyton is awake most of the day now..she does have her naps but they are cat naps..I swear she sleeps for 20 mins and then is up for like 2 hours..lol..she's my little ham.

I tried to update my blog the other day but just didn't have the spare time that it takes plus I wasn't feeling all that well since I had surgery done on Friday..I have a tubal ligation done. I believe that I made the right decision 4 kids was enough for me I have my 2 boys and my 2 girls it's evened out and I just feel now that my family is complete so I went ahead and told my doctor that I wanted my tubes tied. The Surgery went well and I was only in the hospital from 8:30am-1pm that day and then came home and relaxed I wasn't in any serious pain but just had some pretty uncomfortable cramping and just felt icky..but now I feel fine and tommorow my bandages can come off..so ya that's what's new around here. I'll share some photos of Peyton of when she was born and her now, and I'll also be sharing my most recent scrap pages in the next few days.

First photos is Peyton @ 4 days old, the second is Peyton @ almost 2 months and the 3rd is of Peyton and I.

39 week Belly Pics

2009-03-05T17:57:00.000-08:00

Here's the last of my belly pics..from 39 weeks I think I look huge..lol

3 days till my Due Date

2009-03-05T16:47:00.000-08:00

Yep that's right 3 more days till Miss Peyton is due..I'm really nervous, shocked, scared but also very excited to meet and hold my baby girl :)..I'm just getting nervous about the whole labor part you would think it wouldn't even bother me since this is my 4th baby but I don't think labor ever gets any better..lol..I'm hoping that I have a fast labor and my plan is to get the epidural, I had it with Chloe and it was such a blessing so I for sure want it again.

So all my bags are packed and waiting for when I have to go to the hospital and Peyton's bag is all packed and ready to go too, I think that all I need to add to mine is my toothbrush and hairbrush.

I'm hoping that my labor starts soon and that I don't go overdue, that would suck..lol..but I really think that Peyton is very stubborn and does not want to come out of my belly..lol.
I had a doctor's appt on Tuesday and he said that I'm still 1cm dilated and that she's really dropped he thinks I will go soon but if not I have another appt on Tuesday for an NST @ the hospital and then another doctor's appt on the thursday and then if I haven't had her by then I will be induced on the 15th, so at least I know she will be here by the 15th at the latest..lol.

Yesterday when I went to the bathroom I lost my mucus plug and got the bloody show which usually means that labor will be soon to come so I'm playing the waiting game and hope that's a sign thatt I'm going to meet my baby girl very soon. Well I guess that's about all for now I'll try and keep updating..

32 days left :O

2009-02-04T06:23:00.000-08:00

WOW..I'm sitting here in shock after reading my pregnancy ticker today..lol.. it said that I only have 32 days left till little Miss Peyton's due date..this pregnancy went by so fast I remember like it was yesterday telling my fiance that we were pregnant and then the months just flew by.so I'm almost 36 weeks(sunday) and I'm feeling ok I guess just the usual uncomfy pregnancy issues..my back has been killing me and usually before I go to bed at night my fiance has to give me a back massage so I can relax and actually sleep, and now my bladder is in overdrive I swear that every 10 minutes I'm in the bathroom going pee and it sucks..I'm alittle worried about if they give me another ultrasound since my bladder can't hold anything..lol..oh and I waddle like a duck too and my fiance laughs I think he finds it amusing but in a good way he's been so awesome throughout this whole pregnancy and has been there for me he amazes me everyday and I love him so much..

I'm still sitting here thinking 32 days, 32 days..lol..and Miss Peyton is kicking me and although it kinda hurts cause she's kicking in my ribs, I still love the feeling of her moving around in my belly I guess because it just re-assures me that all is ok. I'm pretty much ready for her arrival, we have pretty much everything we need for her except a couple little things that I need like a Breastpump, Breast pads and a couple nursing bras..since I plan on breast feeding her so I'm going to be needing those few things which I will get this month so I can pack it into my hospital bag, speaking of hospital bags mine is no where near packed I still have a bunch of stuff to put into it, but it's hard when you need to pack clothes and nightgowns but you wear those so I'll have to wait till last minute to put those in, Peyton's bag is all packed and ready to go..and all her clothes and things are all organized and put away so ya were ready..

I'm really ready to meet my babygirl and just can't wait to hold her in my arms. But at the same time over the last couple weeks as much as I want her out I'm nervous and scared about the labor part I know you must think I'm crazy since this is my 4th child but I'm still freaked out..and I'm just hoping and prayng that I will be able to get the epidural cause then I know I'll be ok and sorta comfy and be able to handle the labor, but I'm sure that when the time comes I'll be ok and get through it..lol

Ok enough of my ramblings I'm off to clean my place....xoxo

Prenatal Appt Update

2009-01-21T18:00:00.000-08:00

I'm 33 1/2 weeks now..lol

I had my prenatal appt this morning it was supposed to be at 1pm but my doctor was going to be out of the office so I took the 9:45am one instead cause I didn't want to go another day..so we get there and the place was packed..lol..I think we waited almost 40 mins so that's not too bad, then I did my pee sample which was all negitive and then my weight I've gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks..oops..so that puts me up to a total of 20 pounds gained.

They did the fundal height and the doctor said it looks great and here heartbeat is great too, and I just love hearing it..hehe..i believe he said it's about 150 bpm..then I told him about all the bad heartburn I've been having and told him I've just been taking tums for it and well sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and he told me to take Gaviscon(sp?)..Then I asked him about all the mucus I've been losing, every couple of days when I go to the bathroom and wipe there's been a bunch of mucus, he asked me if there was any blood in it and I told him no just globs of yucky looking mucus and he told me it's normal it's just my body getting ready for the big day..so that's good..so I have to go back in 2 weeks on the 5th of Feb I'll be about 36 weeks then and I have to get my swab done, oh and my doctor is going away that week so I have to see another doctor who is taking his place, but that's ok because I've met her before.

Oh and when my doctor was measuring my belly he asked if I thought she was going to be a big baby??..I said I have no idea but it feels like it since there's like no more room in there..so I'm wondering is she big there has to be a reason why he asked..lolok I think I rambled on enough..lol..so that's my update, Peyton is doing great!!!:)

My Sunshine & Belly Love

2009-01-16T21:11:00.000-08:00

Those are the titles to my 2 new scrap pages that I got done in the last day..I think they came out good and the kits are just awesome!!..The Kits are Trixie and Sunshine & Rainbows By: Julie Bullock @ Shabby Pickle she is an amazing and very talented designer and I am happy to say that I am on her creative team as of the other day:)..So I've been busy scrapping with her designs..so here's a couple new LO's to share...

32 Weeks...

2009-01-14T21:01:00.000-08:00

Yep that's right I'm now 32 weeks pregnant, this pregnancy has gone by too fast but truthfully I'm almost ready for it too be done it hasn't been the easiest pregnancy I've had some problems, 1 of them being Heart Palpatations, it really sucks and I've had bad back problems my back is just killing me, it's not too bad during the day but at night when I try and lay down to go to sleep that's when it really starts and then I toss and turn and don't get a good sleep. then there's also the huge problem of heartburn/acid reflux..so tums have been my bestfriend I even carry them in my purse when I go out places and it doesn't matter what I eat I still get the heartburn I have a feeling that Miss.Peyton here will have a head full of hair like Chloe did..lol..I love feeling her move around but even that is getting uncomfy specially when she kicks me in the ribs..I know that when I have her I'll miss being pregnant since this is my last baby I have talked to me doctor and I'm going ahead with the tubal ligation, my body just can't handle anymore pregnancies and well I think having 4 kids is enough..lol..I have 2 boys and 2 girls and that's good enough for me..I was kinda worried that when I told Ryan that I wanted to have my tubes tied he would be upset since Peyton is his first baby..but to my surprise he was really understanding and said that was ok and that he would never be mad at me for my decision and really having 1 baby of his own is good enough..because he's already a step-daddy to my 3:)..so I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

So I have only 8 more weeks to go till Miss.Peyton makes her way into the world and I'm very excited to meet and hold her but I'm also very scared about going through labor..I guess because I know what's going to happen and the pain that i will feel and it just makes me panic alittle bit..but I already wrote on my pre-registraton that I want an epidural to help manage the pain let's just hope that I make it in time and that my labor doesn't progress too fast that I can't get one..my doctor thinks that this time around my labor might be 3 1/2-4 hours since the other's seemed to cut in half..

I get to see my OB every 2 weeks now, my next appt is on the 21st and they will just do the usual, the heartbeat, measurements and all that good stuff and hopefully I will get at least 1 more ultrasound cause I'm wondering just how big she is getting in there since my belly has really no more room in there..lol

Well that's all I guess for now..but I will keep updating, I will have more news next weekend cause my babyshower is on the 24th at Ryan's house his mom is hosting it for me and there will be quite a few people coming, so I'm very excited since this is my 4th baby but my first babyshower:).

32 Week Belly Pics..

2009-01-14T20:49:00.001-08:00

2009-01-14T20:44:00.000-08:00

I have some new Scrap pages to share 4 of them for right now. Enjoy:)

Chloe and Peyton's Room..

2009-01-14T20:36:00.001-08:00

We painted Chloe's room last weekend cause her and the baby will be sharing a room and she's very excited about that, since she hates sleeping alone..lol..so we painted it her favorite color can you guess what color that is??..yep you guessed right it's now PINK..and then we did a diamond pattern on the main wall and it came out pretty good since we were first timer's painting designs..and then we also set up Baby Peyton's Crib and put the bedding on it, Ryan's parent's are beyond awesome and got us the crib, mattress and bedding set for Christmas I'm forever thankful for them they have been so great to me. so without me rambling on here's some pics of the finished room.

Major Update...

2009-01-14T20:05:00.000-08:00

I know I've been a Bad Bad Blogger yet again, life has certainly caught up with me..lol..and then with the holidays I've been a busy busy lady..so I have so much to update with..I'll be posting pictures and things after this post from the holidays, pictures of Chloe and Peyton's room that we painted and set up all the baby stuff in..and of course some scrap pages that I have done lately..

So first off let's start with the holidays, they were pretty good and the kids got so much stuff I had to make room for it all..lol..so they did well this year. I had them Christmas morning they got up at 8am and I was so surprised I thought that they would of had me up at 4-5am but nope they didn't, they must of been tired..they went to there Dad's house in the afternoon to spend some of the holiday with him too, here's a few pictures of the kids and our tree on Christmas morning.

Our Christmas Tree

all the kids gifts under the tree..

The kids after they opened there gifts..

I have way more pics, but just thought I would share a few since it would take me forever to upload all the pics from Christmas...So after I dropped the kids off to there dad's house we went to Ryan's parent's house to get ready to go to his dad's family's for Christmas dinner in the city, I hadn't met some of his family but it all went well and there all very nice..I had a great time and the dinner was good..oh and Ryan got me a new digital camera for Christmas, isn't he a total sweetheart he knew how much I wanted one since the other one I had wasn't the greatest and the batteries were costing me so now I have a slim Fujifilm digi camera and it has a rechargeable battery and it only takes an hour to charge it..so it's awesome..thanks again sweetie!!xoxo

So ya that's about it for Christmas I'm just glad that the kids had a great holiday and I loved seeing the big smiles on the faces it just made me so happy to see them so happy.

For New Years we did nothing we stayed home and Ryan and I watched movies and we could see the fireworks from my balcony so that was cool, I really didn't feel like doing anything for new years anyways since I'm pregnant and due soon I'm just tired and uncomfy so staying home sounded great to me..lol.

22 week belly pics

2008-11-10T18:14:00.000-08:00

these are my latest Belly pics they were taken last week I'm now 23 weeks:)

Ultrasound Tommorow

2008-11-10T07:36:00.000-08:00

Well i have my follow-up ultrasound tommorow @ 2:30pm...because last months ultrasound showed a small band and really I'm not too sure as to what that is..and my doctor couldn't even really explain it to me so yes I've been kind of worried but I'm pretty sure that it will turn out to be nothing, I'm thinking it could be scar tissue from my surgery last year (I had an etopic pregnancy and the baby was in my ovary) anyways that or just the angle they had. so I'm not panicked about it I'm thinking my baby girl is a-ok since they said that she is growing and looks great and so does her heart rate..so tommorow I go back for another ultrasound just to check up on things and they couldn't see all of her heart last time because of the way she was postioned..lol..she just didn't want the lady to poke at her..lol..I'm not excited about all the water that I have to drink again..but very excited that I get to see my baby girl again..and make sure that she is still a girl..lol..so I'll update when I get back tommorow.

Huge Update...

2008-10-30T06:40:00.000-07:00

So last post on here I left off about the travel system..well we did end up getting it that weekend and Ryan's parents paid for half..which was beyond sweet of them..his family is really awesome and I'm so glad that I get to be a part of it:)..anyways we got the travel system and put it together and it's really nice, I can't wait to use it..hehe..and then we've been grabbing other things here and there for the baby when we can..like the carseat cover, clothes, sleepers, socks,hats..etc..we still have alot of stuff to get for the baby but I still have like 4 months and 1 week left so we still have quite abit of time to get it all. Plus Ryan's mom is throwing us a baby shower so I'm excited for that too..this is my 4th child and this is my first time ever having a baby shower..isnt that crazy..lol.
well I'm going to update on what's been going on with my pregnancy that last little while..I know I'm a bad blogger and haven't been able to keep up with everything so anyways here it goes..

October 15th 2008~ I had my 18+ week ultrasound today it went good except the fact that I had to pee really badly..lol..my appt was at 10:30am and I got there 10 mins before so I could register, So I get in there and register with the lady and then go and sit about 5 mins later, a lady comes out and calls my name I was relieved because I didn't know how much longer I could hold my bladder. So I go in the room and then lay down on my back on the bed and she starts the ultrasound..my back started to have spasms because the dang bed was hard..lol..they need comfy beds..anyways after about 40 mins the lady tells me that I can go and empty my bladder because she doesn't need it full anymore and I replied to her Thank you so much..lmao..After I go pee I go back in the room and she finishes the pictures that she has to take and then asks me if I have anyone there with me I told her yes that my fiance was out in the waitting room she said ok and I asked her if we could find out the sex of the baby and she said yes. She goes and gets Ryan from the waiting room and him comes in you could tell he didn't know what to expect, she starts showing us the baby and were all smiles specially Ryan he had a big smile on his face..and after showing us all the parts of the baby she tells us that were having a GIRL!!! yep we thought it was a boy for sure..lol..but it turns out that we were wrong it's a baby girl..were very excited and at least now we know that were having a girl so it will make baby shopping a whole lot easier..

{yes that's right were having a baby girl:)..so now I have 2 boys and 2 girls..and this baby is my last..I have decided that I am getting my tubes tied..this pregnancy hasn't been problem free and so I don't think my body could handle going through anymore pregnancies after this one..because with this baby I'm having a high risk pregnancy..and I'll explain more..

October 29th~I had my prenantal appt yesterday morning. me and miss Chloe took the bus there but it was pretty chilly out I'm not looking forward to the winter..lol.
anyways we get there, the nurse makes me do a pee sample{that's always a hoot}..then she weighs me and I've only gained 4 pounds in the last month so that's not bad..is it??...then the doctor comes in and goes over my file, checks my EDD and yep still the same date..lol..then she goes over the results of my ultrasound on October 15th and got some more news..I found out why I've been having heart palpitations for the last 2 weeks..my doctor said it is because my asthma meds so yay..there putting me on another inhauler so hopefully that will help and make the palpitations go away.. the baby is doing good and growing fine and her heart rate is good..but on the results it says that they found a small band..so I really have no idea what that means as I've never even heard of it but the doctor couldn't really explain it that well to me either and she said it could be nothing or it could turn out to be something that isn't too good..so now she has me worried I'm not panicked or anything but worried..so I have to go back for a follow up ultrasound on the 11th of November to make sure everything's ok. I'm just praying that it turns out to be nothing, Ryan is going to be coming with me for the ultrasound appt and I'm so glad that he's coming because I'm worried and so is he, I think he is more so though because this is his first baby so he has no idea what to expect, but I'm pretty sure baby is ok and everything will turn out ok and that will have a healthy beautiful baby girl come March:)..so ya that's about it on the pregnancy front..

As for the rest of what's been happening around here..it's been crazy..I've been trying to keep up with the 3 kiddos, cleaning my apt and staying on top of it and relaxing so by 11pm everynight I'm passed out..lol..nope I really don't lead an exciting life anymore. Halloween is tommorow and it's also Dallas' 8th birthday I can't believe that my first baby is already 8..it's crazy time goes by way too fast..Dallas has been a challenge these days he seems to have developed a really bad attitude which is driving me up the wall because all he does is mouth me all the time and doesn't want to do a dang thing around the house or even be nice for that matter, I'm really hoping it's a stage and he grows out of it real soon..well that's my update for now I'll be back with more belly pics..right now I'm going to lay down for abit my back is killing me.

Well Hello Again..

2008-09-16T08:00:00.000-07:00

Yes once again I have been a bad blogger..oops my bad just been so busy with life that I haven't had much time to blog so finally I have found some time because my house is clean and the boys are at school and Chloe is relaxing on the couch watching cartoons..so I have a few minutes to myself for a change..lol..anyways things are pretty good with me I'm now 15 weeks pregnant the baby is doing good, Ryan and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat a couple weeks ago and it made me melt I love hearing that sound and it just reassures you that all is ok cause I was kind of worried being that I am high risk because there is 2 hemorrhage's around the sac but they are very small and the doctor said no big cause for an alarm that it happens quite abit and to just relax when I can..so that's what I've been doing plus I go to bed early these days..lol..by 11pm I'm usually hitting the pillow..so at my last prenatal visit the doctor did an internal exam and physical, man I hate those..lol..but at least I got it over with so don't have to worry about getting another one for awhile..but all in all the baby looks good. I have another ultrasound coming up on October 15Th and hopefully the baby will give us a peek as to what sex it is..lol..Ryan and I both want to know the sex of the baby because it makes getting everything we need easier..and well I'm kinda stressed about getting everything as I have nothing this time around I gave all my baby stuff away when Chloe was like 2..so I'm starting all over again this time and it's stressful but I know I won't have to worry to much and that everything will come together..and I'm having my first baby shower, yes I have 3 kids but have never ever had a baby shower so I', pretty excited for that..Ryan and his mom are going to throw it for me at her house..I love his mom she's a very awesome lady. so ya that's about it on the pregnancy..in other news....

Dallas and Joshy are back to school, Dallas was very excited to go back and see all his friends, but Joshy was not as excited because he is now in grade 1 and well that involves going on a daily basis and he didn't like that too much and I was worried that I may have problems getting him to go but he did so well, he goes everyday without a fight and he's loving it which makes me feel so much better, and he loves his teacher and so does Dallas, so all is well for them.

Ryan and I are doing great, I'm still very much in love with him, and fall harder each passing day, he is the greatest man and really cares so much for me..he's going to be such an awesome dad to this baby I can already see it. He's very excited about the baby and comes with me to all my appointments and he's excited to be able to see the baby at the ultrasound. He's here usually everyday to see me, right now were not living together but after the baby comes he'll be moving in with me which is great cause I'll need the help and the sleep sometimes..lol..

Well I'm off I'm taking Chloe to the library so she can get some movies and some books..

Big Deal

2008-07-08T20:10:00.000-07:00

Yep I have something BIG to share..lol..ok ready for this..I'm PREGNANT..yep that's right pregnant..am I in abit of shock still..yes I sure am..lol..I'll share the story...

Well for the last week in a half I hadn't really been feeling like myself, I was always feeling tired, and also pukey and just plain lazy..but didn't really think anything of it just thought that my 3 kiddos had worn me down..so then on Friday June 4th Ryan and I went to the Drive-In and while watching one of the movies I said to him that I had been feeling different and thought that I could be pregnant, he just looked at me but said that he didn't really think I was..(we had been though this a couple times and the tests always came back negative)..so he thought it was more then likely just another scare so I kinda shrugged it off. After the drive in we went to shoppers and bought a test you know the one with 2 tests in it, just to see what the result would be and ease the mind, by that time I also had to pee really bad..lol..so we get home and I run into my apartment and grab the box with the pregnancy tests, take one out and then run to the bathroom..lol..so yep I peed on the stick and quite quickly the result came and it was POSITIVE!!!..so I start like hyperventalting and run out of the bathroom and go to Ryan he looks at me and all I could say was that the test was Positive, well wasn't he in shock he double checked the box and the insert in the box..lmao..and then after abit he asked me to go and pee on the other test so I did and sure enough that one came back positive too..so yep I'm pregnant and it's been confirmed by the doctor too..I spent yesterday in the doctors too because I have been having some uncomfortable cramping happening and wanted to be on the safe side and get it checked out..so the doctor checked me over and doesn't think that it's really anything but gave me a form for bloodwork and also an ultrasound request..

So today I went and had my blood done..and also made the appt for my ultrasound which is August 19th @ 9am ya that bloody long of a wait..it really sucks but what are you gonna do right?..today I felt abit better haven't had as much cramping so thats a good sign.

Well there's way more but my back is getting sore from sitting here, and I'm pretty tired so I'm gonna go lay down now..but I'll share the pic of my positive pregnancy tests..hehe..

Well Nighty Night!!

Update:

2008-07-04T13:26:00.001-07:00

It's been awhile since I last posted..Just been busy with the 3 kiddos and trying to entertain them since school is out and goes back in on September 2nd I believe..so far it's going ok but there are days that they drive me insane..lol..so I usually try to take them out to the beach or the park and we make weekly trips to the library it's only like 5 minutes from my place so it's not far but it gives them something to do..Right now the kids are getting ready to go to the dad's house for the weekend he'll be here to pick them up after work..after that I have to get ready Ryan and I are going to the drive-in tonight were going to see Wall-E and Hancock, the kids were supposed to come with us but Dave decided that he wanted them this weekend so now it's just the 2 of us going..hmm..what else is going on??..

Well trying to keep the house clean with 3 kids is dang near impossible, it seems like all my time is sent trying to keep this place clean..and everytime I'm cleaning 1 of the 3 is right behind me messing it all right back up..lol..oh well I guess I get credit for trying right??..hehe

Things with Ryan and I are still going great, he is truly a great guy and I really don't know what I'd do without him it's so nice to feel really loved for once in my life..we are engaged and I really couldn't be happier..life is good..the wedding probably won't be for another year and abit..were not rushing into it..

I'm kinda feeling shitty right now I think AF is making a visit really soon cause man I feel bloated and crampy..sometimes being a woman sucks..

I'll be posting some of my newest scrap pages on here soon, I just gotta remember to keep my blog up to date..hehe..I know I'm a bad blogger!!..

well that's all for now..

The Ring..hehe

2008-05-06T12:36:00.001-07:00

So much has happened

2008-05-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

Well it's been awhile since I have updated my blog..lol..as you can see I've given it a new look but just haven't really had the time to make a new post...so let me catch up finally..Well I've been busy taking care of Chloe cause she has this really bad cough..like the kind that makes her gag and almost throw up it's really awful to listen too and I can't just imagine how she feels..poor girl. I've been to the doctors office twice about her cough and it's always th same thing they just tell me it's a bad cold and to let it run it's course..but they won't give me anything to give her for it so it really sucks specially yesterday I took her to the walk in clinic I waited for 3 1/2 hours to just be told the same thing again I was pissed..they won't do anything for her..is that really how doctors are these days they just don't care they don't have time to even really check out the patient..it's sad..very sad..and makes me upset to even think that they won't do anything to help my little girl. So besides taking care of Chloe and her bad cough I've been trying to clean this place I call home and lately it hasn't been going that well for me..why?..because I usually have a couple little mess makers right behind me so there are those days that I just give up because I would be cleaning this place 100 times a day..lol..Now this leads me to the huge news that I have on Friday April 25th I got engaged..yep that's right ENGAGED..Ryan asked me to marry him, and the ring that he got me is just beautiful I love it..hehe..I'm so beyond happy he's the greatest guy ever I'm so in love...I'll post pics after this post because if try to add pics with my post they always seem to screw up and it takes me forever to get them to look right...so I will post those in a few mins..anyways right now I'm just waiting for my oldest to get home from school and I'm trying to figure out what to have for dinner..decisions..decisions...lol, then I have some cleaning to do and if I'm lucky maybe relax alittle later and watch a movie.

Mean Moms

2008-04-08T11:35:00.000-07:00

I just got this in an email and had to share...

Someday when my children are old enough toUnderstand the logic that motivates a parent,
I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me:
I loved you enough to ask where you were going,
With whom, and what time you would be home.
I loved you enough to be silent and let youDiscover that your new best friend was a creep.
I loved you enough to stand over you forTwo hours while you cleaned your room,
A job that should have taken 15 minutes.
I loved you enough to let you see anger, Disappointment, and tears in my eyes.
Children Must learn that their parents aren't perfect.
I loved you enough to let you assume theResponsibility for your actions even when thePenalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it.
Those were the most difficult battles of all.
I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.
And someday when your children are old enough toUnderstand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.

Was your Mom mean? I know mine was.
We had the meanest mother in the whole world!
While other kids ate candy for breakfast,We had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.
When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch,We had to eat sandwiches.
And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was Different from what other kids had, too.
Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times.
You'd think we were convicts in a prison.
She had to know who our friends wereAnd what we were doing with them.
She insisted that if we said weWould be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.
We were ashamed to admit it,
But she had the nerve to break The Child Labor Laws by making us work.
We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, Learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, Empty the trash and all sorts of cruel jobs.
I think she would lie awake at night Thinking of more things for us to do.
She always insisted on us telling the truth,The whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
By the time we were teenagers, She could read our minds And had eyes in the back of her head.
Then, life was really tough!Mother wouldn't let our friends just honkThe horn when they drove up
They had to come up to the door So she could meet them.
While everyone else could date When they were 12 or 13,
We had to wait until we were 16.
Because of our mother we missed outOn lots of things other kids experienced.
None of us have ever Been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's Property or ever arrested for any crime.
It was all her fault.
Now that we have left home, we are all educated, honest adults.We are doing our best to be mean parents just like Mom was.I think that is what's wrong with the world today. It just doesn't have enough mean moms! PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MEAN MOTHERS YOU KNOW.(And Their Kids)

Blah..I'm Sick.....

2008-03-26T08:32:00.000-07:00

xoxoxox....

WOW...It's March already....

2008-03-03T13:50:00.005-08:00

the months seem to be flying by..I can't believe it's march already it's crazy...not much of a busy month for me though..My Brother's 15th B-day is on the 31st and still trying to think of what to get him..(A kick in the arse..sounds good)..lol..Anyways I've just been keeping busy with the kids and spending time with my man who is truly the greatest man alive..lol..although I have to admit I've been under abit of stress lately with the kids, they just won't listen to anything I say these days and there always fighting with eachother and lipping me and it's driving me nuts so I'm going to try and be firm and put them on a routine and show them how's boss around here cause right now they seem to think that they are the one's who wear the pants. Then last night I went to pick them up from the exes house and he lost Josh's mittens and hat..GRRR..I said to him "How do you expect me to send him to school without them" he just looked at me with a deer in the headlights look like how dumb can you be honestly..I'm getting tired of it every weekend the kids go there and I always pack them clothes and what not and never ever gt half of it back then when I ask him for it all back he doesn't know where it all is..well maybe you should be keeping track of it..but he doesn't care cause he's not the one buying the clothes or anything.
OK enough of that things with me and Ryan are great, I swear I fall more and more in love with him with everyday that passes he is truly awesome and I'm soo happy that I have him in my life...I can't even begin to explain the happiness that i feel now. This weekend that just passed we went and seen a movie and then just sat around and relaxed with each other it was just a nice weekend with him..I'm SOoOoO in LOVE with him...
well that's about all that's been happening here..I shall be back with more soon...

Yesterday I went to the city with my bestfriend and we went and got our nails done..but the stupid lady ripped us off...lol..long story..but anyways ya the nails look good I'm still trying to get used to them it's been about 2 years since I've had them done so I'm just trying to adjust to them..then we went out for lunch and then the mall where I went to get Ryan's V-Day gift which he should be excited about I had no idea what to get him and then realized that guy needs a cell phone..lol..it's hard because he doesn't have one so I can't always get ahold of him and just many other factors..so ya I purchased an LG Chocolate phone for my sweetie and I have to say that phone is pretty sweet it has everything on it I want it..lol..so he has a better phone then me now..but I was so happy to get it for him, can't wait till he opens it tonight..he has something for me and I have no idea what..so ya I'm pretty excited to see what it is..who knows I'll probably end up crying..hahaha..So ya no big plans here today just chillin and I have to finish cleaning and a load of laundry and then Dave will be here around 5-6 to pick up the kids for the weekend and I'll be bored..my bestfriend will be coming over and were gonna go driving in her New SUV and wow it's pretty pimp we call it the Princess Mobile..so ya and then Ryan will be coming over tonight after work I can't wait to see him.

mmm........

2008-02-04T14:46:00.000-08:00

so this is where I'll be putting up some pics and ideas on a wedding I won't give it all away just yet but I'm sure that most of you will catch on..hehe, so anyways here is what I have so far...

The Dress...I'm totally in love with..lol but I can't get a pic of it..but this is the discription for it

"Satin split-back a-line with beaded cuff, hem, and inset. Available in White or Ivory with a variety of trim colors, shown below"
and the dress is white and Apple Red....it's just so beautiful, although it's kinda pricey but worth saving for.

what else do I have?..hmmmm....
Look at this wedding Cake, it's just crazy, it's so pretty that I' not sure I'd want to do anything to it..lol
But really like that one...and want something similar....

Next....

I think that this is a really nice centerpiece. but in Red and White.

And this is what I want the bouquet to look like, I love Roses..hehe

That's all I have for now but will keep updating when I find more.....

Good Monday...

2008-02-04T09:15:00.000-08:00

I have somewhat of a busy day today, just having my tea and then gotta get to work cleaning this place that I call home..lol..it's funny how messy it gets when the kids get home from being with there Dad for the weekend..So ya my day consists of cleaning and then I have to make a few phone calls and then head to the store and grab a few things..luckily the store is just down the store from our place cause I'm not feeling the greatest today either, AF came and paid me a visit and now I have cramps and feel tired..BLAH.

Its only Monday and it already feels that this week will drag on, which I so don't want.

Ryan is working the afternoon shift this week so that means I probably won't see him much if at all this week:(...I know I'll live but I'll be missing him like crazy and won't be able to wait for the weekend to come..and then on Saturday I'm having a few people over as my bestfriend and I our hosting a passion party..it should be fun:). So ya that's my day.

well I know I've been a very bad blogger..lol..you don't have to tell me..but I've been pretty busy with life the last 6 months and it's been crazy I have so much stuff to tell...so I'll make it short cause if I explain the whole thing right now it could take days..lol..so anyways here's my huge update..all has happened since my last entry in July that was just after my surgery for my etopic pregnacy..I healed well from the surgery but still have the stupid IUD in which I need to get out a.s.a.p...anyways as some of you might know I left my husband Dave on July 8th 2007 I packed and moved out while he was at work the best time to do it and no he had no idea either, not sure why when he was abusive to me guess he thought I would just continue to take it well no I finally had enough and moved out from there I stayed 3 months at a women's shelter which wasn't all that bad they were able tohelp me to get my new place and I had alot of support through that time..So on October 12th I moved into my own 3 bdrm apartment with my 3 kiddos..where we started our new life and my new journey..things have been going pretty good I got used to the whole living on my own thing which for me was very scary at first but it didn't take long for me to adjust to t and believe me I was much happier and stil am do I miss my husband..no I can honestly say I don't what he put me through was crazy and I don't miss that life at all. of course Dave;s still around to see his kids, he takes them on the weekends but he's still an ass and we don't get along all that well but I try to for the kids sake because that is there dad...So I have some huge news...I'm in love and I mean true love...so heres the story so I have this friend Matt and we chilled a few times whatever..anyways one day Matt calls me and asks me if I wanna go to the bar this was on a friday night and I said ya I was actually wanting to go out but all my friends were busy..lol..so he said he was bringing is brother Ryan and I said that was cool...so anyways that night I met up ith Matt and his brother Ryan and w had a good time at the bar I was talking with Ryan and he seemed like an awesome guy..so after that night me and Ryan started chatting on the computer and such and we just seemed to have a connection. On November 21st/2007 Ryan and I got into a realtionship..hehe..and it will be 3 months soon and were still together and we have a great realtionship...I love him so much he is truly the sweetest and I can't even begin to tell you how well he treats me when he looks at me I feel like the world he makes me beyond happy and I know I want to spend a lifetime with him..and I'm pretty sure he feels the same about me so after this post I will add some pics of us and also a scrap page that I just finished tonight. The kids are doing pretty good they have been acting out alot though but I guess that's only natural after a seperation but other then tha things are going great..I'm pretty happy about life..and also soon I'll be looking for a job I need to keep busy and make some extra money so I can do things..Anyways that's all from me right now I'll be sure to keep updating though...xoxoxox

I'm Here

2007-07-05T07:46:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since I've updated my blog but well I've had a whirlwind happen to me these last few days and just couldn't post..so here I am to bare my soul today.. On Sunday Morning I woke up just after 8 am and I sat up and all of a sudden I had an intense pain like someone was stabbing me over and over again in my stomach in my pelvic area so I got up went to the bathroom and tried to lay back down figuring it may just be nothing so I tried to lay down and it just hurt worse and the tears started pouring down my cheeks I could take it it hurt so bad my husband didn't know what was going on or what to do so he rushed to the phone and called the ambulance they came a few minutes later and asked me the level of my pain and I said 10 out of 10 and they loaded me in and took me to the hospital I get a room right away and they start asking me questions and insert an IV in my arm and take my blood they came in and gave me some demerol for the pain and told me the doctor would be in pretty quickly to see me the doctor came in and was asking me questions and touched my stomach and was concerned I said that I have an IUD in place and thought that it may have slipped and got stuck somewhere. He then said they were waiting on my blood results. So abit later the doctor came back with my blood results and told me that I was pregnant I said oh my "Ok" and he said you didn't know I said i had no idea and he said he thought it maybe etopic..so he went to get the OBGYN she came down and talked to me about etopic pregnancy and what it does and how it has to be treated and said she wanted me to have an ultrasound. So a few minutes later off to Ultrasound I go and I was in so much pain they do the ultrasound and the lady says..oh my no wonder your in pain and i asked why and she said she could see some blood in my stomach, I was just in shock and didn't know what they meant or what to do. I've never had anything like that happen to me before. at that point I'm just praying to God that my baby is ok and where it's supposed to be. So they take me back to my room and a few minutes later the doctor comes back in and tells me that it's an etopic pregnancy and I have to go for surgery to get it removed I say ok but really am scared as hell since I've never had any kind of surgery before. I ask if I can call my husband to tell him what's going on and they say ok..I use the phone and talk to him for a few minutes hang up and go to walk back to my room and everything goes blurry I couldn't see a thing and almost fall to the floor the nurse grabs me and rushes me back to bed and tells me to breath and then I start to feel better and she tells me not to move out of bed. The nurse talked to me mom and DH and my mom said that she would watch the kids so Dave could be there with me when I got out of surgery. 20 minutes later I'm being wheeled up to the OR and I'm scared and they lay me on the bed and put that mask on my face and tell me to breath I remember doing that about 5 times and that's it then the next thing I know I'm in a room in bed and it's all over and DH is sitting there. Then the nurse comes in and tells me that my blood levels are really low and that I'm Anemic and they need to give me a blood transfusion I agree and they start that about 7 hours later and I recieved alot of blood. The doctor told me that the baby was in my ovary and that hardly ever happens and that I had alot of blood in my stomach and they also found a cyst on my ovary so I believe they removed that ovary from me. it's been 5 days and I'm home now got home yesterday and still have some pain they took the staples off yesterday and my stomach seems to be healing nicley so I'm taking 3 iron pills a day aswell as Tylenol for the pain every 4 hours as I need it. I'm feeling really sad that I lost the baby but I guess it just wan't meant to be everything happens for a reason and it's just so sad and hard to get over, over the coming few weeks I have to go every monday for blood tests to check my levels and then in 6 weeks I have to see the OBGYN and get the IUD out and I tell you I am NEVER getting another one in!!!! but I didn't happen to finish up a scrap page of what happened kinda a letter to the baby I lost as you can see. Well I'm off to go and relax and sit down for abit can't sit here on this chair for long it hurts if I do.

YAY!!!!

Yep..that's what I got on Thursday evening when Dave called me..I thought he was just calling me to see if I needed anything from the store on his way home from work but well it seems I got something way better, he tells me on the phone that he's going to pick up a puppy I was shocked and so excited so when he finally got home..he brought the puppy in and he is such a sweetie, he's I believe like 8-9 weeks old and he's a Beagle pup..I fell in love with him instantly I mean how could you not look at those lil eyes..lol. We named him Spike..he's just a cutie. He's been with us for a few days now and is doing real well goes outside doesn't try to wander off on you, is starting to scratch at the back door when he wants out and yesterday we were accident free..so he's a really good boy..so Here's some pics of the new member to our family.. and I'm really suprised cause our kitty Lily is really starting to like him not that she had much of a choice in the matter..he isn't going anywhere..lol..but they actually play together now it's too funny. and that one pic is of me and spikey..hehe..doesn't he just have the sweetest face. alright well I'm off to go and rack up some more of the leaves off my lawn..I hate them there such a pain in my bum..and then well more cleaning for me..while the kids and Dave go out for a boat ride..Dave has been dying to use his boat and go crusing on the water..best of luck to him..lol..I'm really not much of a boat person, and well it's kinda chilly outside too.

OOPS..

Good Afternoon

2007-04-20T09:15:00.000-07:00

Today is an alright day..it looks nice outside, sun is shining and we finally got the other non working car out of our driveway yesterday..yahoo!!...Update on Lily: She is still smelly..lol..Dave did pick up some shampoo and spray for skunk odors at the pet store and I used them right away on her..but they didn't work to well..she's still smelly..so I think that she has a major cause of it..yuck!!..but I'm feeling so bad cause I've been bugging her so much out of love of course..but she's had treatment after treatment & 3 baths and still is stinky..not as stinky but still you can smell it..and as I'm typing this she just jumped up on my lap for some loving..lol..i'm trying not to hold me nose..so I have to do another treatment on her in abit..so will see if that does anything..No rel plans for today except the usual cleaning of the house and some laundry ..real fun I tell ya..lol..anyways as you may have noticed I changed my header and font colours abit..I've gone pink..can ya tell it's my favorite color?..So I'm hoping to go and see my mom for the day on sunday or monday and I have to do a few things and grab a few things while I'm there..and also I put some pics up of my kiddos on the side..isn't it sweet..here's a larger version of it...Well that's my day and I'll be back to update some more on the weekend..Smooch!!

EWWWW

2007-04-19T06:03:00.000-07:00

Early this morning my kitty got out of the house, the kids had left a window open that I did't know about and she got out..at around 4 this morning I hear some banging at our bedroom window we have a patio door..so I wake up to this noise and thought some animal was trying to get in..so I get up to go to the bathroom and usually Lily is at my feet and following me but I called her and nothing that's when I discovered that she got out..I was kinda panicked cause well she's my baby and she's never been outside..so Dallas got up when he heard me up and I asked him to look out my bedroom window to see if he could see anything...he looks and says he sees a white thing..then looks again and says IT'S LILY!!...So i look out and yep there she is..but i look closer and she doesn't look so good..her eyes looked really bad..and then I could smell this awful Smell..yep my Lily got sprayed by a skunk right in her face..poor thing...so I get a towel and some gloves on and out to the back of the house I go and pick her up and bring her inside and bathe her she didn't like that one bit..but she's at least smells abit better..lol..I felt so bad for her..she's looking better now and her eyes seem to be better too..but she's still stinky..So my DH is gonna go to the Pet Store tonight after work and buy some stuff to get rid of the skunk smell on her..Poor thing..I'm just glad that she's ok. and I'm ok just tired since I've been up since 4 am.

Blah Monday

2007-04-11T07:42:00.000-07:00

OK well Doreen posted some awesome pics of a place called Barron Canyon in Algonquin Park and I just loved the pics so I decided that Dave and I just have to go there this summer it just looks so beautiful and I'm also thinking about wanting to canoe through it too..me Canoe what..I hate boats specially canoes cause there's not to much too them that and the fact that I almost drowned on a canoe when i was younger I got trapped under one..but I'm willing to get back up on that horse and try again cause it's just breathtaking and I would love to experience it for myself here's some pics of it..So now I just gotta convince Dave I don't think it will take much though..I mean Outdoors, Canoeing, Fishing..that's usually a guys dream..lol..But I also want to take some pics and just have some time alone with my Husband to experience this beautiful place..I'm going to see if my mom will take my kiddos for a weekend this summer so we can go..I'll get it all planned then Dave just can't say no..lol and maybe I think it's too cool that we have the same name as the canyon..lol..I'll keep ya updated..

I also picked up her Crazy Love kit on sale. Then I grabbed 2 things over at Shabby Princess i got the Bella Collection & Wild love.and some other embellies from different places..now I think I have lot's to scrap with..lol..anyways here's a LO I just finished using Shabby Princess's Wild Love kit.

Header Change

2007-03-29T09:56:00.000-07:00

yep it's been only 2 days and I have changed my Header again I just made the new one today and going to leave it up for awhile and see if I dig it..lol..I like it better then the other one cause it matches my scrap page that I did yesterday. So anyways I can't believe that the week is almost over..man..where did it go..it's crazy time is really just flying by..I remember when I was a kid thinking that the days were so long and there was really nothing to do to fill them up and the years dragged on..now I think they go way to fast and I just don't have enough time in a day to get all I need done alot of the time..Nothing exciting here for me today..just cleaning the house and well that's about all..
