Well, the kids were off for their first day of school for 2011. I can't believe it came so fast. I love having my kids home during the summer it's always with mixed feelings that I send them off. They were all pretty excited though.
Landyn showing off his new Braces. He is in the 8th grade this year and just got his braces on yesterday.
Austyn is in the 6th grade this year. This is his last year in Elementary, he can't wait til he moves up and can be with Landyn again:)
Braysyn is in the 2nd grade this year, he was up bright and early this morning ready for school, he wanted to get to the bus stop at 6:35, the bus doesn't even come until 7:22 :)
Maycee is in the 4th grade this year and was way excited to get back and see all of her friends. Her mouth was hurting today too, she is in phase one of her braces, she got them yesterday also.
This is the crew, Mylee was still in sleeping so I didn't wake her up, I'm glad I have her home with me or I don't know what I would do. I hope they have and awesome school year. They are all great kids!
This is what it looks like today. The kids have made some snow forts and now they are jumping off the chicken coop doing flips off in to the snow.
All snow covered.Maycee and Braysyn
Another shot out of my front window, see how far it comes up on the house.
Our grill.
This is the trampoline again, compare the one I took yesterday from my earlier post with this one, that is what we got overnight from about 6 on.
Wow is all I can say. This is our trampoline out in our back yard, it is pretty crazy. Wait till you see the pics of it in the morning.
This is looking out my back door up towards the back of my Mom and Dads house, it has just snowed like this all day.
This is out my front window, this is my flower bed in the summer, pretty crazy.
Maycee couldn't wait to get out in this stuff, it came clear up past her knees.
My mom came down to shovel the snow off of our Tramp, she couldn't stand seeing it on there I guess, bless her heart, she is always so willing to help out. I just looked out the window and you can't believe how much is back on there. That is another post tomorrow.
I know It's been awhile since I have blogged, it's just that FB has just taken over. I just seen this really good post that McKmama posted and it got me to thinking about things. I have been so stinking ornery lately, I don't know what is wrong with me, I honestly just feel like...like..giving up. I try to be nice but things are just so overwhelming to me. I feel like I clean and do laundry all day trying to make everything nice, then the kids get home and back packs and coats go flying, dinner needs to be made, homework done, basketball practice attended, scouts conquered, piano and guitar practicing supervised, scriptures need reading, family home evening needs to be done, husband needs some attention too. Does any one else feel strung out sometimes? I feel like I can't possibly be pulled any more ways. There is not a moments peace until 10:00 when everyone is taken care of and in bed. When do I get taken care of? Well, I guess us Moms don't. Oh I'm not complaining that no one cares just that it is alot on one plate. Clint does a Fabulous job of meeting my needs, he totally takes care of me...I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am just exhausted sometimes. I am trying to paint Landyn's and Austyn's rooms downstairs and that is stressing me out too. And gaining 10 pounds since November definitely does not help, I get so ornery when that happens, I am back on my diet.
Anyway, whoosh...that was alot of complaining, I had to talk to someone. But I was all feeling sorry for myself last night and I read THIS POST and realized that it is so true, I know I am going to miss this, sometimes I just need to be reminded of these things in my life. Hopefully I can stop being such a baby and just get on with things huh! Make sure you read her article that is titled "I'm gonna miss this"
My baby girl turned 1 today. I cannot believe how fast this last year has flown by. She has brought so much joy and happiness into our home. She is such a little sweetheart. The kids love her so much. She is Daddy's little sweetheart and Mommy's little girl. She is going to be very smart I can already tell that, you can't get anything past her, she catches on to things very quick.
We had her Birthday party and she loved all her presents, she got two dolls, a book, some blocks to build stuff with, a shape sorting ball, a see and say some p.j.'s and a little musical book.
This is her own personal B-day cake, she wasn't quite sure what to think about it at first, she went for it with her mouth, then stopped, then she went for it with her hands and stopped, I finally got her a spoon and she started eating it.
She then got her little hands in it too, I love this, it's like she is trying to get me to stop taking pictures or something.
Her mug with her cake all over, she sure enjoyed it.
While I was getting stuff ready for her party, she dipped into my flour bins and had this flour all over her nose, she got caught in the act, there was no getting out of the fact that she was into my flour, she even goes to the drawer and gets a measuring cup and sticks down in there.
Mylee I am so glad that you came along, we were not sure we were having any more...well actually we had pretty much decided not to, I am so thankful that Heavenly Father knew otherwise, this little girl is just the cutest. We all love you very much Mylee girl! Happy first Birthday!
Clint called me on Sunday night and told me I was going to have to come home, I could hear screaming in the background and it totally freaked me out. Apparently Austyn had pushed her down the last few stairs and she had hit into the back of Braysyn's head, it split her head wide open. Clint brought her to me and I left work early and took her over to the ER. She was pretty scared about what was going to happen. She was okay until Dr. Becky showed up and she knew she was going to have to have a needle, then it was on. The nurse held her head and I held her hands. We finally got that taken care of and then she was a crack up the whole time she was getting stitched up. She had to have 12 stitched, 3 on the inside and 9 on the out. They gave her an ice cream and we were on our way. I hope it doesn't scar to bad.
She is the first of our kiddies to have stitches. The is pretty good for almost 12 years I guess.
