Well I saw Mas with one of those shiny balls in his mouth the other day I yelled at him to get it out, and he some how ended up swallowing the damn thing, I was freaking out, but Brad said he'd be fine so we just watched him the last couple of days, the kids thought it was funny and kept trying to stick the other magnetic piece to his stomach thinking they would stick together! ha ha!

See Look Roxy was even ready to have a taste, they must be yummy! ;)

So Yesterday Mason say 'mom I pooped and the balls in the potty"

What goes around comes around!

2009-01-20T19:23:00.004-06:00

Two weeks ago I was soooo sick I couldn't pull myself out of bed! well the whole time my wonderful, super sympathetic Hubby was busting my butt on how I'm such a wuss and blah blah blah.....Guess who's downstairs and cant get out of bed except to puke his brains out....yep good ole big mouth Sparky! ha ha! OK really I'm not that mean but I do find it funny that I can bust his chops about him being a wuss now! ;)

But anyways, all the kids are sick too, its gotta be a flu bug! I am so sick of cleaning puke up, I don't understand how a kid can walk up to me and say "mom I'm gonna puke" and then puke right in front of me instead of just running to the bathroom? i don't get it but whatever the reason I'm soooo done with the puke-athon! Sunday Rhys projectile puked in my car OMG every were it was bad, needless to say my car isn't smelling very good even after cleaning it, its going in to get cleaned really really good!

Then today I'm washing all the blankets that have been puked on over night and something went wacky on the washer and it flooded my house it was all over the kitchen and even made its way into the kids room, if that wasn't bad enough it run into the basement threw the floor so the basement was flooded, my poor house =( so after a few hours of clean up, I think i got it all fixed up! but man that really sucked! ha ha!

Here's a picture of the basement before it got really bad! ( its from my phone so sorry for the shitty picture!)

over the weekend Brad and Gage went to Monster Jam, They had a blast and had awesome seats! (it was a lucky craigslist find) here's some pictures they took! =)

Well gotta get go get back to the Puke-Athon! =/ Yucky!

XOXOXO

Rhys: Mas can you get my jacket

Mas: no

Rhys: Please Mas....

Mas: nooooooo.... i cant get my boot on it's stuck!

Rhys: put the effin boot on and get my jacket

Mom: Hey we don't say Effin Rhys
Rhys: freakin please!

Mas: all out crying and temper tantrum now over the boot issue "I cant do it" whine whine whine
Mom: Mas stop crying and just put your boot on, Rhys I will get your Jacket in a sec.

Rhys: "Mas put your big girl panties on and deal....... Ok"

Mom: running downstairs so no one sees me laughing my ass off!

Gosh I love my kids they amazing me everyday with how much they are like me! haha! they know how to make me laugh, cry and almost at some point in every day make me wanna rip my head off! ahhhhh kids.....everyone needs a bus load of the funny little things ;)

Funny thing bout that convo is this is the look on Rhys' face most days so for him to tell Mas that was just funny! =)

Keep warm everyone I'm going to make me some Hot Choc........YUMMY :)

New Year and already behind......

2009-01-12T20:43:00.002-06:00

OK so for the New Year one of the things I wanted to do was to be a better blogger...........well its now the 12th and I'm just getting around to post a blog. I have a good excuse really I do. kiddos got sick then I got sick and were not talking little colds I was out and dead to the world for 4 days, it was a wicked sickness but I'm all good now! So anyways bout this new year thing, I have 4 goals this year
1-to not shop at wal-mart! Yes I love wal mart anyone that knows me knows I was there like everyday for something, anyways in my effort to save money and shop better I'm boycotting wally world cuz every time i step foot in there i buy something stupid I didn't need and shopping at the lame sentry keeps me from impulse buying of movies or other random stuff so that's my first one!
2-to get really good at photography, so far that's going good I am taking an online class that I really like and I'm learning a lot from Mike and Rach, they rock and I love listening to them tell me things I get a lot of stuff out of shooting with them! I cant wait for wedding season to come and get to work with them more! =) mike send me email's a lot with a lot of helpful tips and stuff, hes a good teacher!
3- to blog daily =/ ok so that's starting off a little rough but I'm really going to try, if not daily every few days instead of every 6 months! haha! I'm obsessed with PW this lady is my idol she takes amazing photos and has 4 kids and writes it all on this blog that's so great! Ill add a link for anyone who wants to read too, shes awesome and inspired me to write more =)
4- to be more productive......this one is one I'm dreading I procrastinate like its my job I'm sooo bad so this ones going to be the hardest for me but well see how it goes ;) so for Ive been doing good I have my lazy times but hey who doesn't right ;) I'm blaming it all on the crazy sickness I haha!

P.S. Christmas at the Wilson's was good low key and simple but good good good!!! =)

XOXOXO

Snow day.....

2008-12-19T10:22:00.004-06:00

So Lets see whats been up at the Wilson Shack?

Today is the first snow day! so we are just sitting around being lazy waiting to go outside after lunch! so anyways.....

Roni had surgery on the 2nd and did fabulous of coarse, hes in this stupid brace thing with the bar between his legs for 4 more weeks. he does OK with it times going fast so it will be off in no time! Hes been out of school till it comes off so that's been about the worst of it, he really wants to go back to school!

Mason and Scar are total four year old complete with smart mouths and all, They LOVE school and do a real well there! they are super excited for the Christmas program next Tuesday.

Gage well is just Gage hes giving the school a run for their money, hes got so much energy he makes me tired just talking to him, the kid never stops talking LOL he had his Christmas concert yesterday and was soooo fun he danced and sang totally off key but was so cute watching him have so much fun and be so into it!

They are all really excited for Christmas in 6 day I get reminded everyday how many days are left. we got a Wii a few weeks ago (one of those spur of the moment buys) and of coarse dad had to get guitar hero so we have all been practicing our rocking skills LOL the kids are so funny they cant reach they colored keys and strum it together their arms are to short so the team up and one strums it while the other one hits the keys! LOL its sooo funny!

Brads out plowing this wonderful 10 plus inches of snow we got, I'm sure he will be gone all day and he left at midnight last night, hes been swamped with work witch is great, we arnt complaining haha! Ive had fun doing Christmas pictures for a few people, been spending alot of time just practicing with my camera and learning more about it! I'm really excited I think I finally found my nitch, I know I have alot to learn in the world of photography cuz I pretty much suck right now but I have never been so excited about learning something! I got to do the envermental hall of fame awards in Chicago with Mike and Rach and had so much fun and learned alot, I even got to met pierce brosnan witch was sooo neat I sat next to him durning the ceremony How cool! LOL But I learned I could never be one of those crazy popertzie people they are insane, I couldn't be as mean as they are! LOL

well that's about the end of the gossip around here! I got some of our Christmas pictures for you! :) enjoy!

XOXOXO

Just a Little Update.......

2008-10-23T09:18:00.003-05:00

Hey Everyone,
So The Trio had their 4th Bday a few weeks ago, we took them to the dells to Chula Vista for the weekend, it was sooooo much fun! Dan and Missy came up with their kiddos too, it was lots of fun we even did the Ducks the boys Loved it, Scar fell a sleep LOL. and we did the old time pictures they are soooo cute :)

Gage is doing Ok in School, hes so much like Brad hes soooo loud, so they "think" they are going to get him to talk in a inside voice Ha..good luck with that one! LOL he does a real good job making the teachers mad by doing stupid things so they call me like making a spit trail or cutting his socks...and its only kindergarten im scared for the next 11 years of school haha! no calls this week so maybe hes getting this behave thing down!

The Trio LOVE school and do soooo good, I finally got Scar potty trained and Mason is really close too, Hopefully we can get a better chair for the potty so Rhys can go to, he goes now but he has such a hard time sitting so they are supposed to be ordering him a good potty seat! oh we also started seeing a chiro with roni, hes doing really good with it he gets adjusted every week and does a round of microcurent..its supposed to wake up his nerves so hopefully get him using different ones, I don't see much of a change but other people say they do so we'll see....I think I am going to do the abductor release surgery with him :( he needs something and I think it will help, I talked with the doctors about not cutting the whole thing they are just going to cute a thing around the muscle so they wont hack the whole thing off....so I'm cool with that! I think hes on for Dec.2nd!

I just got a new Camera, I am in LOVE haha! its amazing, I also got really lucky and have been giving the chance to work with Mike and Rachel of ArtzAngel they are both very talented and wonderful people, I did a wedding with mike a few weeks ago and learned sooo much! It was a great experience! I am excited they have asked me to help with some other shoots so I am very much looking forward to those! :) I also got the chance to shoot my friend Angel, it was a crazy good time we spent all day in Milwaukee just shooting and having fun! I will post pics on the Photography blog...hes super hot too! :)

Halloween is super exciting this year this weekend the kids got a bunch of stuff in Burlington to do a parade and trick or treating, Gage is being a Vampire, and the trio are my "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil monkeys" haha! poor kids its proble the last year they will let me pick their costumes so I had to do something matching! haha! Me and Brad are going to a Halloween party next week it should be super fun we got some good costumes (cant tell what it is....just watch for pictures) haha!

Well that's about it around here! I will try and get more pictures up soon!

(no we aren't getting divorced just saying that cuz brad will never leave here its a joke "ha ha") anyways so it started last night Brad went out to plow so our super wonderful amazing neighbor came over and watched the boys all night and had them all morning, all is ok with that, mean time in Madison Rhys shit his pants in the chamber totally nasty oh gross it was a bad one so get that fixed trying to get the back in the van and the f-ing stroller wheel brakes nice so i get them in the van find out boys don't have school cuz of the f-ing snow, meantime im still freaking out about whats wrong with me long story don't need to get into t right now, I just lost it and loaded my shit and came home to get my boys, Brad is still plowing and its almost 6 hes been gone almost 24 hours its crazy! I swear nothing else would surprise me today, this was just one of the day, it would take me to long to write the whole day! I am calming down a little bit but I am seriously gonna have a melt down soon. things can never work out as planed! I just want to get my kids treatments done I want to help them but nothing ever works as planed! I don't ask for help to often so when I do I just wish someone would help! I cant even go to Madison with out having a huge issue with things at home!!! I am gonna clone myself one of these days and everything will be fine but till then we live this freaking crazy ass life barley scraping by! I just don't get it! anyways I have no idea whats going on for tomorrow if we are gonna go back to Madison or not I hear its gonna snow again so I am sure Brad will be out plowing! Ok that's enough bitching for now!

It was such a fun night! then Sunday brad went to some monster truck mudding thing and he won 3rd, he had fun I was still recovering from Saturday night! LOL the kids had a busy week with school and therapy they had a Halloween party at school yesterday Brad and I went it was so cute, but the little ones didn't like wearing the costumes so they just carried them around LOL weirdos! then we came home and went out trick or treating they had fun but they were not that into it we went to a few houses and they said they were all tired and wanted to go home so we went home still have way to much candy now! LOL I have this nice HUGE basket hiding in our room since that's all they want to do is eat candy. so all in all we had a great Halloween!

only 8 days till halloween!!

2007-10-23T09:40:00.000-05:00

yes I know It's been awhile, I was tiring to think of a good excuse as to why I haven't posted lately and the only answer I have is I have just been down right lazy! LOL and I love it! HaHa! Yes the kids are in school half days so I get 4 hours all to myself! I go shopping alone! I go to lunch with out kids! and if Brad gets off early we actually get to hang out for awhile alone! Aw its so nice to have some time to myself! I feel like a whole new person! I've been in a much better mood too lately! who would have thought all I needed was some me time?? amazing i tell you!
Hyperbarics is no long happening anytime soon! its just imposable to find that kind of money! maybe later on down the road we can do it, we put all the toys up for sale so if Brad sells those and we can get some of the money we will proble do Rhys first and see how he does then do scarlet. but we'll see I guess!
Oh so Friday night Brad and I went out to Lincolnshire to see The nightmare before Christmas in 3-D it was so cool! I love that movie, and we went to dinner at this amazing restaurant out there, It was seriously the best food I have ever had by far! totally excellent! I cant wait to go back again.
Sunday we made our way to the pumpkin patch, The kids had fun picking out there own pumpkins, we didn't carve them yet since everyone has been kinda sick I even kept them home from school yesterday, they have no fevers today so I am gonna send them. we are gonna carve pumpkins tonight after school! then i will post some pictures!
I am so behind on Halloween this year i still haven't even got the kids costumes! Bad mom I know! well I had a good Idea but just never got around to do it! I will save it for next year. I gotta go today to the costume store to get everyone a costume, and get mine and brads we are going out Saturday to a Halloween party, I love dressing up! I didn't come up with anything as the last few years costume idea, but I think this one will still be cute! I think Trick or treating is Sunday here so we will proble take the kid out for that!
Oh guess what we got, we got walls outside! yea retaining walls they look so nice I cant wait till the whole yards done someday! haha! brad put some truck together for this guy so he did our wall for us.I have pictures on my camera I'll post them when i get them all off my camera.
so that's about all around here told you been lazy! LOL I get to do all kinds of fun stuff today after I take the kids to school, yesterday I was doing laundry and my ring got caught on the dryer and broke and I lost the diamond, I was freaking out I spent 3 hours tearing my laundry room a party looking for it! I found it guess were? in gages shoe under the sink! so I gotta take it today to get fixed! I was so lucky I found it!
oh and I cut the kids hair yesterday! haha Bad Idea! I don't know why i thought I had any haircutting skills!? LOL Poor Scarlets hair got all screwed up I thought I could just trim the ends that were nasty well a trim turned into a hack LOL poor girl lucky shes cute and can even make her shitty haircut look good! LOL Boys just got buzzed! something I cant screw up! well maybe a little, this morning I see a bunch of long hairs still on there heads! LOL
ok that's all for now! I will put some pictures up later..or tomorrow! LOL sometime soon!!

2007-10-08T14:02:00.000-05:00

so I ran accross this today! this is the amazing lady that has the place in madison that we are going to! this is her story of her daughter Grace! its amazing!!!!
HBOT

I talked with the lady today about the discount and she gave me a grand total of 25,500 so its alittle better but still alot of money! we are talking about maybe having a fundraise or something like that! we want to try and do it ourselfs first and the look for help!
anywho thats all I have for you today! oh we went to the corn maze saturday so I have some cute pictures I will try and post them tonight!
Love ya!
XOXOXO
~Am

Excuse me...how much???

2007-10-05T22:35:00.000-05:00

so today was our consult in Madison for the Hyperbaric therapy well it went good, it took 2 hours to get there we met with the doctor at 10 and I filled out a million papers, he thinks the kids are good candidates for the treatment so after that we met with the PT/OT and they were great we really liked them! They have some really neat treatments like suit therapy and spider therapy all things that sound like they will help the kids. I was really sold on the place. we did set some tentative dates of November 26 threw December 21 so that hopefully will be our four weeks of treatment, if we can get the funds to go, its gonna cost 30 grand for everything, 9 grand for 4 weeks intensive therapy each and 5 grand for 4 weeks hyperbarics oxygen therapy each. we might get a discount if we pay in full and maybe another for bringing both kids together I will have more info on that on Monday. but still that's alot of money that insurance wont cover any of it!! so that's about as far as we are right now we have to do some more talking and stuff and then I will have more info. but keep your fingers crossed for us!!! :)
other news miss Roxy has had this nasty lump growing out of her ear so I took her to the vet Wednesday and they say its a tumor they biopsied it but say it don't look bad but its in a spot they cant remove it so we will see what happens with that!
Kids are doing OK with school, me on the other hand not so well, Monday was good Tuesday was bad and I didn't send Rhys and Scar on Wednesday and Thursday, Tuesday they took the class for a walk and it was really hard to sit back and watch Rhys having to get pushed in a wheelchair and Scarlet walking the best she can with the walker and tripping all over. and all the other kids walking just fine! It was a real reality check for me and was hard to take in, I knew this was coming and its life but it was just harder then I was expecting!! so that on top of today's trip to Madison has made for a rough week here!
I am so frustrated and just want some answers and some help! I just want my kids to walk and play with the other kids! Rhys is so smart and mentally knows how to walk he gets how to take steps and wants to and really trys his body just don't let him! its so hard to listen to him asking why he can walk or telling me he wants to run with Gage. I don't understand how they do everything they do in this world today but they cant help a very smart 3 year old boy with CP and the only thing that's giving me any hope is gonna cost and arm and a leg! its not fare!! I seriously don't get life anymore nothing makes any sense anymore! But I'm gonna go to bed tonight and wake up to 4 amazing little kids that mean more to me then life itself, and have a what we call a "normal" day smiling laughing and just doing what we do and hoping things work out in our favor!! till then! keep smiling and moving on!
XOXOXO

2007-10-02T07:55:00.001-05:00

So Scarlet. Mason and Rhys ad their first day of school yesterday! I think I did worse then they did, they were sooo excited to go we got there and gage took the boys in and helped them wash their hands for lunch and showed them were to sit and the boys just jumped right in like it was no big deal! lil miss scarlet found a group of girls and made friends with them, they did amazing I wasn't even as good as them I as so gonna cry I stayed all day to help with Rhys until they get a 3rd teacher in to help but i swear they wouldn't have even noticed if I was gone! after lunch they had group time and they sang songs and read and they all jumped in and tried to sing along it was so cute! and Gage oh man how fricking proud of him I am he was so sweet trying to help mason and Rhys all afternoon it was good to see them all stick together except scarlet she was long gone playing with other girls! LOL theres another set of all girl triplets in their class so she was playing with them! LOL so today is their second day and I think I might try and sneak away to go to the grocery store I am sure they wouldn't even notice! I'm so proud of all of them, me on the other hand I'm a big wuss! all my babies are in school! no more babies I have big kids! :( LOL
anywho they kids party was Saturday they had a blast! it went very well I was so tired that's way to much work! LOL but they had fun and lots of our friends and family stooped by so it was good! Oh big news on the hyperbarics stuff theres a place in Madison! yes like only 2 hours away! how great will that be! so we are going Friday for our consult with them and to set it all up! I am so excited I really think its gonna help them! this program is a 4 week one same kid of daily thing, so we will proble stay up in Madison for the week and come home on Saturday afternoon till Monday morning. I'm still gonna go with Monica so its gonna be nice to have someone up there with me! I ill let you all know more when I get the dates of when this will happen!! so that's about all that's going on here just getting used to going to school everyday on top of therapy, so we are gonna be busy this year! LOL oh well it will be good for us! :)

2007-09-27T08:53:00.000-05:00

We Love you all more then anything!!!
XOXOXO
~Mommy

heres to the next crazy year!!!
Love you!!!!!!

I know its Crazy, but what do we have to lose???

2007-09-25T15:37:00.000-05:00

So I have been researching this Hyperbarics oxygen therapy for the scarlet and Rhys, well I think we are gonna do it and I cant wait!! so here's the deal! the center is in Fort lauderdale yea pretty far away, and its a 3 week treatment...so me scarlet and rhys would have to be down there for 3 weeks the treatment involves them going into a oxygen camber for 1 hour then have a 4 hour intense therapy then back in the camber for 1 hour and they do this for 6 days a week! This place has been doing this treatment for 32 years and have had some amazing outcomes with children with CP, it is not covered by insurance so we will have to pay for it ourselves its gonna cost close to 7 grand, but we will find away to do it! we seriously have run out of options for Rhys the only thing the doctors want to do is keep pumping him with botox and these almighty dumb doctors cant even keep up with that they are much to busy so the let him fall behind and he is right back were he started! and seriously how healthy do you think it is to keep putting that crap in his body?? Oxygen is Oxygen sounds pretty good to me no crazy drugs no being put under, no stupid well see you in 6 months sorry we couldn't help you crap! when we go for a consulate they start treatment and we stay till they are done! I know its not a for sure cure but they seem to give me little more hope then the doctors that we have been paying out the ass for! I am so excited I cant even explain! here's there website if you want to read some more on this!
Ocean Hyperbaric

Oh and my friend Monica has a special needs son too that's 4 and we are gonna go down together and hes gonna get the treatment to, they seen kids with his condition before and after they under went this they got there vison back and had amazing results!! so yea I have someone to go threw it with me! :) we found airlines that will fund our airfare down there and back so that will save us some money and now we are on the hunt for a place to stay! got some ideas just working out the details with price and stuff!

so here's my plea...I am looking for anyone and everyone that might be able to help us out I need someone to help with mason and gage (and brad) LOL here at home! someone to watch the boys in the morning when brad goes to work and get them on the bus at noon, brad should be able to get them off the bus and handle things at night but Fridays they don't have school, so I need someone to watch them all day Fridays so brad can work! weekends brad should have it handled! I really need to figure things out so I can set up the date to go. so if you can help at all please let me know!! Thanks soooo much!!!!
XOXOXO

2007-08-13T11:57:00.000-05:00

Well not really, it was a crane you know those huge white birds yep drilled it with the van Saturday night! I was out for a bachlorette party, I was driving into the manor and there was a nasty storm coming so it was really windy and raining and its like three in the morning, I go around the corner and its sitting in the road I slam on the brakes and it starts flying and slams right into the window! I was screaming OMG I hit a pelican I have no idea why I thought it was a pelican but I did it was late and I was tired and had a few drinks! so yesterday driving out of here there was a dead crane on the side of the road! so that was my crazy story for the weekend.
the kiddos are good! I got a call from headstart the other day they all got into school so gage starts Aug. 27th and the lil ones start Oct.1st they cant start till they turn 3. but they will all go half days in the afternoon all in the same classroom so it should be fun for them and me 4 hours no kids I cant wait!!

LOL then we went to coldstone for Ice cream Oh man that place is so good! the kids all got cake batter ice cream yum! it taste just like cake batter!

Weekend Recap!

2007-08-06T15:09:00.000-05:00

hi friends!

so the weekend was action packed! Brad and I went to a wedding Friday night and the kids stayed with auntie Erica they had a blast as always, they love auntie Erica. Saturday we did nothing to interesting Scarlet was getting to be real treat scream and in lots of pain and also not peeing so signs point to her getting dehydrated. I fought her and got her to take her pain meds in hopes she would drink something but no luck. Sunday morning I took her back to children's they gave her an IV of fluid, got her nice and hydrated again and gave her pain meds threw the IV and sent us on our way. I didn't realize it was Sunday and all the pharmacy's were already closed so I had to drive all over looking for a 24 hour pharmacy it was crazy we got home around 9 last night finally.

This morning shes doing great eat and drink like nothings wrong, the new pain meds they gave us last night work much better I think! we had to take Roxy girl to the vet this morning she got spayed this morning! we get to pick her up at 5, the kids were so sad when I drooped her off they kept asking were Roxy girl was it was cute, mason was looking in her bed yelling Roxy come out! LOL crazy kids!

OK anyways Saturday we were playing outside before the rain came and I got some really cute pictures of the kids! none of scarlet tho she was sleeping! So here's some good pictures of the boys! enjoy!

Surgery Day!

2007-08-01T15:05:00.000-05:00

What Could be more exciting then that?? We leave home at 5:30 to get up here this morning, and I make sure to leave early so I can stop and get Starbucks well we get here about 7 walk all the way up to the 4th floor caring Scarlet that refuses to wake up, my Bag with the all important laptop and my yummy White choc. mocha latte in hand. I sign in and the receptionist lady say oh you have to throw that away?? what?? I am not throwing away my $4.60 coffee! sorry shes like you have to be respectful to the people who cant eat or drink! OK fine so I slammed that coffee cuz I was not going to waste it! =) LOL so she was the first surgery for Dr. Harkins so we go right back and they get her all prepped and by 8 we were downstairs and she was heading back, so I went to the cafeteria to get some food, since my belly was hurting from drinking that coffee so fast! I had some wonderful rubber eggs and cardboard pancakes (cant you tell I love hospital food) hehe! So Anyhow she was done by 8:30 and was in recovery they let me come back around 9 when exorcist girl woke up, she was freaking out like always after being put under, she was biting people and slamming her head into the rails of the bed. so I sat wither her for awhile and she calmed down a bit so by 10 we were back upstairs to her room, shes been sleeping till about 1 and then she got up and drank some thickened apple juice (that's nasty by the way) and then ate some pudding and now shes sleeping again! so all is well here! now for the medical fun stuff!
So before they put her under they scoped her to see her vocal cord and the left one is still paralyzed and he says it will never work, so he said we could do a few thing to try and make her voice a little louder but its risky so I said screw it I am fine with her being quite! her tonsils were huge he said so were the adenoids so he said he was glad he took them out! but now theres something that with her bad vocal cord and her tonsils gone she has a hole and if she has any thin liquids it will go in that hole and in her lungs so that's bad very bad, so that's why we are here over night to make sure she does OK, and that's why they are starting her on thick stuff before the water and juice to make sure she can swallow right!
so shes good I'm bored out of my mind and fricking tired but cant sleep cuz I just can never sleep here I hate this place! Oh and get this nonsense! I bring my laptop so I can sit here and have something to do but they blocked myspace on there wireless connection how much does that suck! so I am with out myspace till I get home! :( but hey I can still get on here, and my email and stuff so I'm not going totally crazy yet!! =)
so if anyone wants to email me or something it would be nice! ;)

so I decided to start a blog of the life of the Gang and I! I am fed up with the babyhomepages sites! I haven't been able to log in to update it, and with 4 kids that don't give me much time to breath let alone keep a website updated new stuff all the time and its very time consuming to do all the backgrounds and stuff,and no one ever comments so im tired of wasting the time i do put into it! I forget not everyones on myspace, I keep that updated alot, So I switched to here seems easy to keep up, so I will be deleting the baby site soon so change your bookmarks to here.

well life has been good around here! summer has flown past so fast, I cant believe my "lil-ones" go off to preschool next month. the "lil-ones" are doing great, BTW I am no longer aloud to call them the babies anymore they keep telling me "we arnt babies mommy" LOL! Scarlet is going next Wednesday to get the tonsils and adenoids out, poor girl don't even know whats going to happen to her, but shes a trooper and will do fine. then maybe she will start eating again and gaining some weight. She also got her new glasses a few weeks ago that she already broke we were riding in the van to therapy and she chewed the arms off, crazy girl! LOL but they are fixed now and looks so cute in them.

Rhys-A-Ronni is doing fabulous, he is getting some better tone in his trunk so he can sit a little bit all by himself, him and scar both started a new therapy program a few weeks ago and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it and so do they witch helps! Rhys goes into the back with the therapist all by him self no fighting or screaming, and they push him pretty hard! so that's exciting. Oh and he can now reach his arms up over his head witch is another huge thing for him!

Mason and Gage are two of the same both totally crazy and run round and round!! I cant wait for them to go to school. LOL

Me and Bard are good, He left working at Chico's and is now doing fencing for awhile and some side jobs here and there. we spent all last weekend putting up our new kitchen, I found it on craigslist (oh my gosh I am soooo addicted to it) well we got new cabinets and stuff its so exciting next big thing is flooring! so the house is finally getting done. we should be getting our yard re landscaped soon, that will be nice, I'm sure the kids will miss playing in the dirt and mud but I wont! LOL

So anyhow that's life lately if I missed anything I'll be back again soon!

XOXOXO
