Another week has gone by

Well another week has gone by and we have survived. Jason turned 34 and Angel turned 10 years old. On Wednesday Jason and I went to a Cardinals game with our friends Tim and Robbie. We had a really good time. The Cardinals also won which made it that much better.
The kids are all still enjoying school which is very good. Angel told me about her PE class and she hurt her hip and knee. When she told me everything they had to do in PE class I can't believe she hasn't hurt more. They have to do push-ups and not the ice cream kind and they have to run 5 laps around the gym. I am really lucky I am not in PE anymore. I couldn't do it. She is going to be one tough little girl by the end of the year. She really enjoys it though.
The kids are at my Aunt Jane's this weekend. She met Jason last night to pick them up and tomorrow I am going to meet her to take them to the parade in Pontiac. So far they are having a blast. Last night they got to ride the horses and drive the golf cart. Angel said she was kind of a crazy driver but Tyler was a really crazy driver. Taylor said she did really good and could maybe get a golf cart drivers license. We will have to check into that. Today they were going to go and have a picnic lunch and play in the water. Tomorrow, Pontiac has a really big parade that we are going to and then having a family get together. On Monday we relax. Well I hope everyone has a great long weekend and we will catch up again soon.

Ending another weekend

We have made it through another weekend. Taylor and Tyler were at their dad's and Angel was with her mom. I went to a Bridal Shower for my cousin Kassandra, in Pontiac, on Saturday. It was a lot of fun. I then came back and took Jason to get some paperwork for fantasy football. Today we relaxed. I went and picked up the kids from their dad's and now they are eating supper. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hello

Well Taylor went to the dentist on Tuesday and she has her first cavity. On Wednesday, both kids got their ears checked and surprisingly they were both fine. I really thought we had some hearing issues, but I found out it is just my kids. Today Taylor was going to get her eyes checked but we had a little problem at the daycare so I had to cancel the appointment at the last minute. I rescheduled in September. The kids are doing good. Angel enjoyed her first couple of days of school. She already had homework last night. Hope everyone has a great night.

Hello Again

Well I am sorry to tell everyone but I think I have figured out how to put pictures on here. So I am writing again. I felt really bad about not having any pictures of Angel on here yet so I found our pictures from when we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. The kids really enjoyed petting the sharks. So I hope you enjoy these pictures. Have a great night.

We have made it through the weekend

Hello Everyone,

Well we have made it through the weekend. Friday night we babysat and now I know why I don't have 6 kids. I did a lot of counting that night. I just couldn't figure out how to keep all six with in my sight. Our place is also just not big enough for that many kids. At one point, when coming back from the park early because I was tired of counting to 6 every minute, I had made a comment to the youngest who is one that I just wasn't made for this. Working in Daycare all day and thing trying to keep track of six kids at night. The oldest boy heard me and he suggested that I should start working out. Very good advice but I just don't have the energy to do so. Maybe one day I will. Having 5 boys is very dirty. I am glad to see that my child is not the only one who likes to have grass and dirt showers. I felt very bad sending the boys home so dirty but I figured this isn't the first time they have seen them dirty. Anyone with boys understands.

Saturday we went to Staunton, IL for a wedding. The wedding was very pretty and we had a lot of fun. If this works I did take a couple of pictures of the kids enjoying their meals. These will show why we don't take them to really nice restaurants very often. They had a blast running around and dancing. I tried to teach them some line dances but we all know that I am not that good of a dancer my self. Taylor enjoyed the YMCA. On the way home Tyler fell asleep in about a half hour but Taylor waited until their movie was over and then told us she was going to sleep. I thought she would have fallen asleep an hour before she did. They were both up by 7 this morning. Sleep was not on their agenda this weekend. It certainly was on mine. Today we are doing homework and relaxing.

I got to talk to Angel today and she was shoe shopping for school. She goes back to school on Tuesday. She is not very excited because she will have more homework. She didn't come this weekend because she went to a Venessa Hodgeson? concert who is Gabriella in High School Musical. I don't know if I have her name right. She enjoyed the concert alot.

Well know I am going to try and put the pictures on here so everyone can see them. I have pictures of Taylor and Tyler at the Fair and eating at the wedding. With any luck this will work. I will try to find some of Angel that are recent and try to post them this week. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hello

Hello,
I know I have already written tonight but I have one picture added to the blog now. I am so excited. Unfortunately I don't know exactely what I did so we will see if I can get more pictures on later. Hope you enjoy.

Hello

Hello,
There is not much going on here. Jason is doing much better. There is no longer an egg on his forhead. The kids are still enjoying school and hopefully that will continue until the end of the school year. Taylor decided she didn't need sleep yesterday so she woke up and 5:00am and wouldn't go back to sleep. She still didn't want to go to sleep last night. I sure did. She slept in this morning until 6am but Tyler got up around 5:30. Tonight we are babysitting for 4 little boys so our place will be a little busy. Hopefully the kids will crash tonight after we're done babysitting and maybe sleep until 7am tomorrow. We are going to a wedding on Saturday, that I think is in Staunton, IL, which isn't to far from St. Louis. And Jason wants to drive home tomorrow night rather than staying in the hotel. But he knows us and knows he will be on his own because the kids and I will probably be asleep before we hit the interstate. Other than that we don't have much going on. Next week Taylor gets teeth cleaned, ears checked, and eyes checked. Tyler just has to have his ears checked. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hello

Hello Everyone,
Well unfortunately we are back in the van. The convertable was so much fun. The kids loved it. There hadn't been much going on so Jason decided to make our lives exciting again last night. He had a softball game and he plays 3rd base. A ball had been hit to the outfield and the outfielder was throwing the ball into Jason to throw the runner out but Jason was blinded by the light and the ball hit him above his right eye. He bled a little and had an instant goose egg. He came out of the game and only batted after that. We were trying to decide if we should go to the ER or not and we decided he was some what okay. He still has a horrible headache but the dizziness is gone. He seems to be doing much better. Tyler was very worried about him.
The Taylor and Tyler are doing very well in school. They were both very tired today and fell asleep on our way home. I think we will go to bed early tonight. Hope everyone has a great night.

Tyler's 1st day of School

Today was Tyler's first day of school at CAOS. He was very excited about it. He looked so cute with his backpack on (which is about as big as him). They said he did very good and Taylor took very good care of him. She was very excited to see him there. He made sure to let the teachers know that he knew he would not take a nap there but he normally does at daycare. He goes to CAOS 3 days a week right now and he may add more days depending on their numbers. Hopefully he will do just fine without naps on those days. He doesn't always take a nap at home and he seems to do fine. We will just have to see. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Taylor's 1st day of school

Taylor had her first day of 1st Grade. She had a lot of fun and when she came to see me she said I have a lot of homework. The good thing is that her lot of homework really isn't that much. We just have to read and also do a little experiment of measuring her when she wakes up and before she goes to sleep. If this experiment works right she should be a little taller in the morning than before she goes to bed. It is amazing what you learn in 1st grade.
Taylor also has more big news. She finally lost her other front tooth. For those of you who have seen her these teeth needed to come out. I am sure we would all agree. She was looking alot like a beaver. She finally let Jason wiggle the second tooth and then she pulled it out. Hopefully the tooth fairy will remember to put something under her pillow tonight. I will have to have a talk with her.
This week has been pretty busy so far trying to schedule different doctors appointments. So far in the next two weeks the kids will have a recheck on the ear tubes, Taylor goes to the dentist for a cleaning, and she has to see an eye doctor for her school vision exam. Tyler goes to the dentist for his cleaning in September. So unfortunately we will get to see a lot of different doctors in a short time.
Today, we also switched cars with Jason's dad and stepmom. They are going away for the weekend and needed a bigger vehicle so they have our mini-van and we have their convertible. I think it is a great trade. The kids love having the top down when we are in town but it gets a little windy in the back when we are driving on the highway. We will have to see if we are around on Sunday when they want to trade back. We might just have to get lost.
Well I should probably go now. We are all going to Jason's games tonight so we need to start our reading and eat some supper. Hope everyone has great night.

We're getting back to normal

Well, I think we are getting back to normal somewhat. We went and did all of our school shopping this weekend and now we are broke. On Saturday, we went to the pool. I was amazed at Taylor. She is swimming under water. She is so comfortable in the water now. She was even doing handstands under water. Angel and Tyler had a lot of fun also. Tyler was more interested in the play area and jumping in the water. Angel liked the little slide and would swim around with Taylor. They were all very tired that night. We have only two days until school and homework.

Taylor is Home

Well Taylor is home. She hasn't stopped talking since she got home. She has so much to tell us. She also lost a tooth today when she got home so she is very excited about that. We just have one more to try and get out.
Taylors flight went well but she was very sad to leave Texas. She really wanted to stay. She loved everything she did. Nana Donna's fiance Jim had a little Yorkie that Taylor loved. She wrapped it up in blankets and carried it around like a baby, she put him in her bookbag, and she even made him play school and made him listen to her. Nana Donna says that the poor dog misses her but I think she is just being nice. Nana Donna already misses Taylor.
Well we have all three kids back and let me tell you it is a lot louder around here. We went to Wal-Mart to start some school shopping but we could only get Angels stuff because I didn't have Taylor and Tylers lists. So we get to go to Wal-Mart again tomorrow. I think Taylor and Angel thought there were microphones in their hands the whole time because all they did was sing and then when they forgot the words they made up their own. I am not holding my breath wanting on the record deals. They then thought it would be fun on the way home to pretend to be talking on cellphones, which happened to be Taylor's shoes, but they had to get off the phones because they were getting ready to board a plane in the back of the van. Our kids have great imaginations, which I will never complain about. They definitely keep things interesting. Hope everyone has a great night.
