Swine Flu BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Cody called me yesterday from work informing me that he thought he had the swine flu! GREAT! I was upset because I was worried about missing our Utah trip. Obviously we couldn't get on a plane and fly to Utah Saturday if we were sick. SO I was upset but whatever. THEN I had a million things I needed to do and Cody being sick and needing me to go get him medicine and what not, just added to it. I ran and got us all lunch and then took the kids to Walmart to pick up a few things. I go to the pharmacy to drop off the prescription and it is closed until 2 for lunch. PERFECT! I wanted to be back by two to get the kids down for naps. Kayla was already fussy and tired. She has FIVE teeth coming in all at once and her mouth hurts. When I found out we might all be sick I decided not to give her any medicine for her teeth just to make sure she wasn't getting a fever. It was NOT fun. I got home and remembered I forgot to get Cody something to eat. I put the kids down for naps went to the store to drop off his prescription ( at another store ) and then got him Mcdonald's and came home. Tyler had pooped...Fantastic! I change him leave again to go get me something to drink because my throat was bothering me a little and then go pick up his medicine. I am informed that his drugs cost 40 dollars! OUCH! And that is just for 10 pills. THEN I hear that Fort Hood is on lock down because some crazy person is running around shooting people! WHAT? What is wrong with people. You don't want to live any more then kill yourself but do the world a favor and don't go around killing innocent people. So on my way BACK into the house from getting Cody's drugs I hear Kayla start to scream. NO BREAK AT ALL FOR ME TODAY! In fact, it was more work then usual. The crazy thing about it, I was thankful Cody had gotten the swine flu and was at home safe in our bed and not on Fort Hood where he had been right before the shooting and should have been when the shooting occurred. Would he have been killed, not likely. Would he have been injured or shot at?....not likely. But I didn't have to worry about it and he didn't have to be stuck there until 8 that night while the police sorted everything out. You count your blessing where ever they come and for me yesterday, I was thankful for the swine flu for keeping Cody "Safe"

Daddy Daughter

We went to the playground the day after daddy got home last week. Mommy didn't realize how cold it was outside but we still had fun. What is it about kids wrapped up in beanies and sweater that is just so adorable?! I brought the camera and got some super cute and super sweet photos of Kayla and daddy.










and I love this one of her doing her monkey crawl!



"This is how we roll..."

And it wouldn't be complete without Tyler all bundled up and cute too!



Just so everyone knows, I TRY and take pictures of Tyler still. He is just too busy these days to stop and give me a smile but poor Kayla can't go any where yet so I end up with 5 pictures of Tyler and 500 of Kayla.

Boozar

No clue why on earth our town calls it that ( To me it sounds like a drinking game! ) But Gatesville calls their city Halloween get together the Boozar! I mean, I get it, but why nto call it something else. ANYWAYS. We went and had fun. I feel bad because it was freezing earlier that day and so I decided not to put Kayla's full costume on because I was worried she would get cold. Then we step outside to leave and it was like 70 degrees. It was the perfect weather. Go figure. We were late so I didn't have time to run back in and change her. Oh well because she stayed in the baby sling on my chest the whole time any ways.






I took lots more pictures but this is what is edited and shrunk right now. Maybe one of these days I will get more posted. I took some pretty ones of our Court House which is really pretty and was light up with Christmas lights. My problem right now is I am trying to get us ready to go to Utah in two days so I wanted to get this stuff posted before I didn't have my lap top for two weeks. So for those who stalk me, you won't be able to for a couple of weeks. But when I get home I am SURE I will have a thousand pictures to post. As soon as I finish the dresses I will post those as well so everyone can see what I did. I still haven't decided myself. I have narrowed it down to three choices, one of which I didn't even post because I forgot to take a picture of it. oh well. I think whatever I decided will be cute regardless. I also go to some really cute owl fabric and I am making Kayla a blanket to take to Utah with us. I will post pictures once I get it done. I have one other post I was going to do later today of some pictures from the play ground I took the other day. Then I will be "caught up" for now.

PS

I LOVE that it was a Halloween party with candy every where and my boy sat down to eat an apple! haha Maybe you didn't notice that but there is a picture below of that. Just thought I'd mention that. Of course he doesn't like anything else so....

Trunk or Treat

We had a trunk or treat at our church on Wednesday. There were tons of people there which was totally surprising! It's sad when more people show up to an activity then to church on Sunday! Regardless, I have pictures. My camera was not liking the fact that it was not dark but not light out side so a lot of my pictures didn't turn out great which really saddened me. It was GORGEOUS out side! It even sprinkled off and on a couple of times but the sky was beautiful! It was my kind of night. It was funny because I ran to the car and got a blanket for Kayla so she wouldn't get wet and ended up using it to shield my CAMERA instead of my BABY! How sad is that! haha





I wanted to get a picture of Kayla and Tyler. When I called for Tyler all his friends followed and wanted to be in the picture too! haha So we got this




I of course couldn't get all of them looking at the camera and smiling all at once but these two shots were the closes I got! haha

Did I end up getting one of Kayla and Tyler you ask? Why yes...



Unfortunately, this is what I got! haha And this WAS the best one. I did get a couple of Tyler by himself. That took some serious convincing. There was just too much going on for him to stand still for 2 minutes.





And here is Kayla by herself





And here is Madison by herself





ANd lastly, they had games and things for the kids. One of the games they had was where they had to eat a doughnut on a string without using their hands. We thought it approperiate to have my sunbeams do it together. HAHA And of COURSE they used chocolate doughnuts! It was hysterical because Tyler kept pointing at Madison and laughing saying, "Madison has chocolate on her face! That's silly!" And it was ALLLLLL over his face. We kept telling him he had it on his face too but he didn't believe us until we showed him a picture I had taken! haha Silly kids. Here are pictures of that


















Happy day! After this we got to pick up daddy from the air port. We got home late and the kids crashed. So did mommy and daddy. It's always nice to bring daddy home!

NEED HELP PLEASE

I know I said I was NOT going to post craft stuff here any more BUT I need a little advice on a project of mine and let's face it, more people read this blog then my personal one. I made matching dresses for Kayla and her cousins Bradlie. They are a little plain so I wanted to do something to them to dress them up a little bit. Here is where the advice comes in. I have 5 options. PLEASE let me know which one you think is the cutest! THANKS IN ADVANCE











So I really like this one BUT you have to picture the flower in coordinating colors. I didn't want to spend the time making one if it was not what I ended up using.



The same goes for this flower. I think I might like this one the best but again you have to use your imagination and picture it in a matching color. This one just happened to be what I had on hand.


So what you guys think?

Oh yeah and did I mention that I need to finish these up as soon as possible because we leave on Saturday? Yeah...

In LOVE

I have fallen in LOVE...with another blog that is! This woman is wonderful because she has a million tutorials on her blog for free! I LOVE so many of them, my brain is starting to hurt from thinking of ALL the projects I could do just off of her blog alone. My new favorite thing is to repurpose stuff. She loves doing that too. So as I am going through her blog I am thinking of old shirts I could use to make some of the cool projects she has on her site. Go check it out but I must WARN YOU! It's addicting and will take you several hours to go through all her stuff.

HAVE FUN HERE
