My morning addiction

It seems at night when I am warming up milk for bed, I seem to always find my coffee cup in the microwave 1/2 full. Zach is not a coffee drinker so he does not understand the addiction. Every night I set the coffee maker so it will go off at 5:30, and I truely look forward to pouring the first cup. It seems since I have had kids, I had to suffer from not really enjoying my morning addiction. On average I microwave it at least 4-5 times to rewarm it and then finally forget about it or give up. Please tell me I am not the only one! It seems like the earlier I get up, so do my kids so that idea is out!

Wyatt is better today, we went out to a chili cookoff tonight and he was a proud Texas cowboy. He was excited to wear his boots and cowboy hat. I will post pictures later, it makes me sad bc he looks so grown up. I am thinking Wyatt drank bad milk... or it could be the stomach bug for the THIRD time...either way I still had to clean up the bed, wash everything, scrub the bathroom down.. after each time .So, despite the experation label- Smell the milk! June still seems fine.... lets keep praying she stays that way.

Are you kidding me?

Wyatt started throwing up after his nap today.. what is heck?! Seriously, we were well for 2 days. He woke up tonight throwing up again.. washing the sheets AGAIN! I feel so sorry for him, but you would think I leave him naked, licking a shopping cart at Walmart. Where do we get this stuff? I am waiting for June to start any minute. Yuck Yuck Yuck.

CBS

Meema and the kids

Am I sweet and growing up fast or what?!

Wyatt's CBS project - a bottle he made with fish and shells and you shake it up and it says "Jesus calms the storm."

Working together to figure out how to get the briefcase working so Wyatt can "go to work" If you ask him where he usually replies, "Odessa." He will get in his car and off he goes to "work."

WE are well! At least for today so it was nice to get back into CBS. I love this program because I have learned so much and the kids do too. I had to take pictures today bc I thought they looked so sweet. I know I cannot dress them forever, so I am enjoying it now! Mom came by to drop off some groceries (thank you mom!) and help me get them in the car. I never thought it would take so long to get in the car and buckeled in! I obviously get ready pretty quickly (mainly bc I do not do anything ot myself!) but it still takes me starting at 7 to get in the car by 9?

Story time

June loves to pull EVERYTHING off this display, why do they do that to mothers... it is like looking at all the candy and balloons while trying to check out at the grocery store.

Wyatt playing with one of his buddies from MDO

These are the things we miss when we are sick! Along with CBS, playgroups, MDO, going outside, etc.. This is from last week at Barns and Nobles .. they have a free story time, but my kids just like to play with the train... but it occupies them enough so Mom and I can enjoy a cup of coffee.

The Flu...

After 3 hours of waiting yesterday we confirmed Wyatt now has the flu. Seriously?! WE just got over RSV for 2 weeks now we are starting to pass this around. He was up all night last night throwing up and high fever. I feel so sorry for him. I have been cleaning like a mad woman in hope he will be the only one... but Dr Nabulsi said wait 2 days and June will have it. Then he said," Did you not give them the flu shot?" Make me feel like a bad mom. NO! I think they get way too many shots anyway!

I talked to Jenn Mc yesterday and she said her mom was out of surgery, but it was more extensive than they thought.. please keep Sheri in your prayers. They installed 18 screws, 15 in rod, and "cages", I think they basically gutted her like a fish and replaced her back with metal rods. So I can only imagine the pain she will be in. She will be in ICU for at least two days then in the hostipal a week after that if everything goes as planned. When she comes home, Jenn will take care of her, I was hoping to get a list of dinners going while Sheri recovers, at least a couple of days a week, bc she will not be able to move around at all. Please send me an email if you want to help out. Sheri has a stong amount of faith.. so please pray for her to keep her strength.

Papa's feeling better

My dad has been pretty sick for a couple of weeks so it is good to see him feeling a little better. Even when he was sick, he had me drive the kids by in the car so he could see them. He is such a good Papa, we love him dearly!

Happy Valentine's Day

What a difference a year makes.. June does not even look like the same child! Wyatt looks like a baby too..why do they grow up so fast?!

remodeling Greentree.. Wyatt wanted to get his tools and help...so grown up!

Burning off the HUGE piece of cake!

DESSERT! Wyatt had his two favorite things... sweets and trucks!

WE had a wonderful weekend.. It all started off with our Supper club and the best meal with the best company. Skeet kept both kids and they had a ball. I am not sure who was more tired when we picked them up! Saturday was nice and easy, until I got a little food poising.. but regardless Mom offered to babytsit so that was even better. Thank goodness for grandparents!

We had a nice Valentine's Day lunch today filled with plenty of sweets!
