Meet our newest member

Here is Lou Lou Mt.Dew! I know you see 2 puppies, but the darker one is our Lou Lou. She is so cute and fluffy!! The other one is going to my co-worker. Mona is in heaven, she loves her!!

My Bubba

Well as you can tell Joshua got his first black eye. He banged heads with his friend Brandon. They say it instantly got bruised so I went and picked him up, got him some tylenol and a donut, he seems ok, a little grouchy lol! He called daddy and just cried and cried, good thing Don isnt working tomorrow, its a day filled with daddy! We got a crazy blizzard, then went away, who understands this weather?!

A whole week!

Doesn't seem like a week since I've updated. We've been busy! Patricks last basketball game was saturday, they lost, but thats ok cause iTS OVER!! Parkers was cancelled cause they didn't have enough boys, then we went out for ice cream and off to Moses Lake to buy my new faucet for the kitchen and shower head, love em both! Friday night we went out on a much needed date. I love that man so much! We are sickinly in love right now, its great! Not that we weren't before, but we are just so much closer and happy, must be spring fever lol! We went out to dinner and bowling. I beat Don, now anyone that knows both of us knows this is amazing, I normally dont bowl over an 80 and Don is normally never under 160, so it was a great night........for me =) I got my hair colored with a bunch of mahogony highlights and dark brown, looks really good, I like it! Parkers tutoring is going really good. She is coming tonight to help him with his mid term tomorrow. So we are picking up our puppy on Sunday, actually Don is while we drive home from the west side. She is SO freakin cute! The boys want to name her Loulou Mt. Dew, I told them we'll see what kind of personality she has first. She is so adorable, cant wait to get her! I'm so glad Don didn't work 3-3 today, I love having him awake with me until bedtime, normally he is in bed by 7pm on mondays, so it was nice! Well I have so much laundry to do, really when dont I?? I almost forgot to say a special Happy Birthday to Christine!!

tuesday

What a day! It isnt a bad one, just a day I guess lol! I went to work this morning, hardly had any kids today, so it was mellow, which is always nice once in a while. After work we took off to Ephrata so Josh and I could get our hair cuts, looks good of course cause Bethany is awesome! My mom met us down there so that when I get my hair cut she watches the boys. Parker started getting tutored today. It went well and I hope it helps him so much, maybe then all of our lives will get easier! She is going to do it twice a week, mainly Math and Science. Don took our crib over to their house since Kim has her grandbaby they are going to use our crib, so I sent over a crib skirt, sheets and a mobile, makes me sad but happy at the same time. Oh man WWE was SOO freakin awesome last night! This last weekend was the first time I have not ordered the PPV, its $40.00 a pop and they are every month, so this time I didnt order it but Tara did, so when we go over next weekend I will get to watch it woohoo!!!!! When Don gets home were just going to get the boys in bed and then watch Biggest Loser, if he can stay awake, he has been up since 12:30am to go to work, sucks to be him! Anyway, thats about it, I know were pretty boring =)

Sunday Night

No work tomorrow! Yay!! We had a good weekend, my sissy, her hubby and my girls came over! Friday night we went to Patricks Basketball tournament, they won, Patrick made 10 points, he was SOO awesome! Saturday we had an extra 4 boys over here cause they were riding with us to the games. My mom, Tara and all the kids stayed home, it was going to be a long day. They lost the first one and won the whole stinkin tournament! I will post a picture of him in the shirt he won after he gets home, they are at their friends house staying the night. My moms battery in her car died, so we took her to Ephrata to get a new one, so she took us out for lunch, the pictures above are the boys waiting to eat, it was so cute! Don and Brad got the weight set set up and Don is down there now. So thats about it for my update! Have a great Monday off!!

So tired!

I hate not sleeping at night =( Dont get me wrong I usually get a good 4 hours a night, but anyone that knows me, knows really thats not enough, even though I've been functioning like this for years. Oh well.

Parker is doing better. He got some much needed alone time with daddy last night, so for now all is good! I'm just glad he has not gotten to the point where we know nothing, he actually still thinks we know everything, not that that is going to last lol! Its suck a roller coaster for me, so I cant imagine what it is like for him. I remember that age, and it was very hard and confusing. Were praying him through this one =)

Had a great day yesterday. Only worked until 10am then headed out to lunch, came home cleaned since my sissy is coming today YAYAYAYAY!! Went out to Amber and Jeffs for dinner, made home made tortillas, they were good! Don was going out to help Jeff get rid of coyotes since its calving season and they are everywhere, look at me, I actually sound like I know what I'm saying lol!

It snowed all day yesterday, never really stuck, but just a constant snow. Patricks BB tourney starts tonight in Davenport, I know where the freak is that? All I can say is closer to Spokane than we are!

Well I'm going to try and get back to sleep! I hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend!

Pullin my hair out!

I really dont think I'm ready for all this pre-teen/teenage stuff! Parker is such an attitude that I am going completly crazy! It really makes me feel like I'm failing when he says he hates his life
=( Don had a good talk with him, they were both crying, so I hope that it helped some cause anything at this time would help! We did Joshuas Valentines today, its so cute to watch him write his name! Patrick did his own. They are getting harder and harder, I couldn't even freakin fold these football ones lol! I went to Ephrata today and helped my mom, ok I take that back, Joshua and Jared helped grandma. Then we went to walmart and lunch of course! Don is already in bed, he has worked 2 3-3's and is so tired! So I told him I would hold down the fort so he can get some sleep. Patrick had BB practice to get ready for the tournament this weekend. Tomorrow I only work until 10am now, I am happy about that! I think I need a slight break from working everyday, although my kids drive me bonks, I really like to be home with them! Well thats all I got for now! Hope everyone has a great thursday!

Long week!

I posted some odd and end pics. Mona hated the saxaphone lol! What a long week at work! I had wednesday off so I worked in Joshuas class, didn't know that a boy who is in Joshuas class and goes to the daycare, had strep throat, the whole family actually, so that was sort of frustrating. It has hit Odessa pretty hard. We have not gotten anything yet *knock on wood* But of course I didnt want Ryan and Amanda and Tara and Brad to come over b/c in case we have it, I would hate to get them all sick, so we rescheduled for next weekend! Patrick is in the basketball tourney next weekend, not sure what Don is planning for Valentines day if anything since we will have tournaments and company, we'll see. Mom had the tree in our front yard at our Ehrata house taken down, we went out last night to see it, wow, it looks so different, so open and NO MORE SAP!! I wish they would buy that house from us *hint hint* they are taking really good care of it, and the house loves them, it told me lol! Starting Wednesday Don is going to start going to Rangers with me so we can go to the church service since he cant go on sundays b/c of work, I'm really excited about that. I sure do love that man! Today is going to be a good day, I can feel it. Its sunny outside, just us so not sure what its going to bring, something fun I'm sure, the boys are bugging us to go bowling. So since Don is getting the weight set, Joshua wanted a curling bar, but it was too heavy, so Don made him one at work, oh my gosh it was so cute to watch his face when he saw it! Of course I didn't take pics, I thought I did, but nope. I dont know if I'm going to survive puberty! I cant get into it on my blog cause if they boys ever found out they would die, but lets just say, its starting really early with my Patrick. Oh my head hurts thinking about it, hes to young, hes my baby boy! It just makes me so thankful I have NO girls and a great guy who will talk to the boys so I dont have too lol!! Oh well, going to get this day going!! Happy Saturday!

AAHHHH!!

Ok, so our computer crashed on saturday night, we called Microsoft, and Centurytel, but who fix'd it?? My wonderful husband Donald! They honestly didn't know what was wrong with it, talk about frustrating! But I'm here and back! Today I worked in Joshuas class, it was fun, he was so excited! I am not working on wednesdays anymore yayayayay!! Kim is working them for some more money, fine by me!! We did our tax's last night! $4100.00 woohoo! Pays to have a ton of kids, I think I say that every year lol! We should have it next friday, which works well with the whole valentine thing *hint hint*. Tara and her fam, and Amanda and her fam are coming over this weekend! Brad is delivering the weight set, which the boys are so freakin excited about! Were going to have a big taco dinner so I'm sure amanda is excited lol! It will be a fun filled weekend, the boys dont have games this weekend, so it worked out well! Its 48 here today, oh my gosh it was beautiful! I let the boys play outside while I cleaned out my van, had my doors open for a while, feels like Spring is in the air!! Now if our snow would disapear! My friend or should I say Angel Tami gave me a book called "captivating" I have not started it yet, but I am looking forward to it. Well my sweetie is almost home, then I have to run to the store, or drive, it would be faster lol!!
