my 500th post isn't as fun as it should be

but! Funny.

Parker has now informed me that when he doesn't mind me...it is because he has turned his ears off. HIS EARS OFF! So, now I have to remind him to turn them back on before I give him an important message.

We had a good Easter. Stacey is kidney stone free. We are off to an ENT for Bowden, a new roof, basically a rebuilt car for me, a fabulous recipe swap party, what more can I ask for.....


I did add some recent photos, but you saw them first....

Gotta go....crying baby in neglectosaucer......

Thank You

to whoever sent me a kind note, with a special gift inside today. Made my day, who am I kidding, MY WEEK! Thank you for BLESSING me!

It finally hit me

My baby is getting old. I'm not talking about B crawling and pulling up on everything, I am talking about Parker telling me his tooth hurt about 3 weeks ago. It did hurt, it was loose!! Then the next thing we knew, the tooth right next to it was also loose. I have made it through other milestones okay, but the loose tooth...hit hard. My true baby is cutting teeth, and my biggest baby is loosing them!





We have been trying to pull that silly tooth for a week! It wasn't giving up without a fight. Well, tonight I had it. No string to a door knob, no pliers, just a good ol' paper towel for friction purposes. I got that first loose tooth! It did kind of make my stomach turn over when I realized I got it. I DO NOT have a strong stomach when it comes to things like this. SO, I checked the tooth right next to it...
I must have really loosened it while pulling the first one. THat one came out real quick. Parker did whimper on that one, but other than that....he was a stud! We discussed the tooth fairy, and I tried to convince him that the tooth fairy wanted us to put his cute little pillow on the bed post, but he told me that wasn't how it was suppose to happen. THat he and the tooth fairy needed to make a trade, and the cute little tooth pillow needed to go under his pillow so the exchange could happen tooth: coins, dollars, or toys as he put it.

I love you big boy. Kinder round up, and your first time to lose a tooth all in 2 days!! My heart hurts knowing you are growing up!

ER

I was a faithful watcher. FAITHFUL! I would even plan my college freshman year classes around it. I would beg my computer professor to let us out early if there was a new ER. She was a faithful watcher too, so I would persuade her and convince her by throwing out how far her drive home was, even offer her to come to my dorm room if she would like to watch it. NO ONE called my dad on THursday nights. NO ONE! We would talk on Friday morning and discuss our favorite parts. When I got married, we watched it. I would always get queazy!! I would have to look away through many parts of it. When I taught in Coppell, me and Mrs. Guidry would discuss EVERY Friday morning. I kind of miss that. We would discuss how messy Abby's hair was, or how hard her life was. Over the past 5 years I gave it up. I valued my sleep more.

Some of my favorites.... from years past.....

The helicopter....YUCK!

CLOONEY!

Dr. Carter was always my favorite!

I cried when Dr. Green died.

Carol.

The hospital head guys....the real mean one who had his arm taken off with the helicopter! He was so mean. He actually said on one of those late night shows that an old woman threw a vegetable at him.

Elizabeth Corday...

The basketball games in the snow

The explosion at the cafe across the street

Carter's grandma

I liked Carter and Abby together.

I always liked the freaky halloween shows.

Rachel Green looks great!!! I am glad she is the same actress.

Do you remember how mean Peter was to carter! SO MEAN! I am glad to see full circle.

In the coming on part, I used to always squat down and do the Peter Benton....if you watch you know what I am talking about!

Luka. Cutie.

Susan's crazy sister.

George Clooney's aunt who would come.

THe guest stars... 

I haven't watched in years....but am still sad it is gone.

Just for fun

Last week E asked me to take her photo.... OF COURSE I SAID YES!
You can't read it, but her shirt says, I (heart) Candy. I (HEART) YOU baby girl.

Emaline 3 years...

My poor car!

December 2007 I was hit by a drunk driver in my 11 day old car. I didn't have my car until March of 2008. Just wait until tomorrow to see the photos of my car! POOR CAR! All that garage sale stuff....DONATING IT TOMORROW! I want to park in the garage again!!!

I am sure this is the one that cracked my windshield!!!
Parker's hand. He just cried and cried.

This week, we as a family, are blessing others. I have to say, I don't feel very blessed right now. I feel blessed to have a home to shield us form these hail stones, so I guess that is a blessing. If only I had the energy to tell you everything going on in our lives right now. From surgeries, to sickness, to church, to now 2 cars beat up.... If you think about it, will you bless us with a prayer. Thank you.

Dear Old Navy,

Dear Old Navy,

I love your new Town Gowns! They look so comfy and casual. I was very excited to try them on and pick out a few for the spring and summer. I left empty handed. I have a suggestion for you and your design team...please make cute Town Gowns for women who have b**bs.



Thank you,
A curvy customer

My sweet

little petunia! Just pulled up on the neglectosaucer! PULLED UP! He is even pretending to crawl. He will get up on all 4's and ROCK! NOT READY. FOR. BABY. TO. GROW. UP!

I just had to change the post...

I know you all were tired of the poop! Here are some different photos...
After watching the smurfs, Emaline informed me that that mean guy did this with his brow. SHE SAID BROW! I didn't know she knew brow...
This is a sweet photo of B. Not a poop one, although that is why he isn't wearing clothes. Bowden STILL has the left ear infection. COME ON! We were on our 3rd round of antibiotics when they switched us to the shots. We go back today for our second one. He was a trooper. Although last night...one of the toughest we have had. I actually drove him around the neighborhood late last night in my pj's to get him to sleep. WE NEVER did that with the other 2.
And last, we took some tabs to the Ronald McDonald House and got a tour on Monday. Honey got the kids shirts. Don't forget to save your soda tabs!

He isn't as perfect as you all may think...

This is how it ended. but you just scroll on down.... just do it!

Yep, This cute little man gave me a HUGE surprise. HUGE! I had to survey the damage. Get 2 towels, and there is no telling how many wipes it took. The ENTIRE bottom of the saucer had smeared poop ALL over it. Everything has been sanitized, but I don't think the socks will ever be the same. The neglectosaucer seat is now in the washer. Hopefully, it will come out clean and poop free. I may have to wash it twice!

I love you POOPER!

Another one

Bowden and I are having a blast watching these! I hope you watch a few!

LOVE this!

DWTS

Well, my recap is pretty unexciting! Don't get me wrong. I am very excited about the new season, but it really didn't capture my attention. I think it was all the JACK#%$ talk at the beginning. COME ONE! 7:00 family show!!! Let's see how many times we can say that word on TV in 10 minutes!!! I truly disliked that part. AND let's talk about costumes! Can we please be a bit more discreet! I know they push the limits each season, but come on Cheryl! To flat out say that she wanted it to be uncomfortable to watch...well, you got it.

NOW, as it is lighting up Facebook....the ACU sweatshirt worn by Chelsie Hightower who is Ty Murray's partner was an eye catcher! I would love to know how she got it. She did not attend ACU, or atleast it isn't in her bio. Ty lives in Stephenville, so maybe there is a connection with someone from there. They are my vote!

Today

when Emaline woke up from her SHORT nap, the trash truck was outside making all kinds of noise. I asked Emaline if she thought it was aliens. She kind of shook her head....and I asked what we should do... what she said.....

PRAY!

I LOVE HER!

The things kids say part 2

Last night at church...

P: your teeth are yellow.
Mommy: PARKER!
P: well they are!
Friend: thanks P!
P: your teeth are real yellow!
Mommy: STOP IT!


Today:
P: God's going to be so mad at me..
M: Why sweet?
P: Well, I broke God's one true book!
M: What?
P: I broke the one true God's good true book!
M: please show me.
P:See mommy, my God's true one good book is broken!

The things kids say

Do you ever want to run away from your kids in public...or pretend they aren't yours!? Okay, maybe it is just me.

checking out at Big Lots:
E: mommy, that lady only has 2 teeth.
M: Yes she does honey.
E: Why?
M: not sure (SO BRUSH YOURS LIKE CRAZY SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN!)

in Kroger
M: guys, move over here by my cart so this lady can get by.
E: mommy, is that a guy or a gurl?
M: shhhhh! honey.
E: mommy, is that a guy or a gurl?
M: I'm not sure....shhhhh!
E: MOMMY! IS THAT A GUY OR A GURL?
M: I DON'T KNOW!
(and unfortunately this happened from this aisle to EVERY aisle since we kept criscrossing each other! AND I still don't know).

p: mommy, that guys fingernails are painted. Boys don't paint their fingers!
M: well, honey, sometimes they do....
P: no they don't
M: well sometimes....
P: and they don't have long hair.
M: sometimes they do
P: NO they don't!

In Target
M: Parker quit dancing like that here.
P: MOMMY, but boys can dance with their HIPS!
M: Honey, NOT HERE!

I wish that some of these don't call me MOMMY right off! Totally give away that they belong to me! AND I LOVE them!

Ranch Party

The ranch birthday party of 09! Of course there are more...just wanted to put these up.

Soccer

Can you tell how happy I am that blogger likes me now? I am officially a soccer mom. He did great! I love his little team. They have welcomed us with open arms. This team has been together for a few seasons, but had one not return. We filled that spot. Parker on a VERY COLD first game.
Doesn't this look great...? WELL, not to embarrass my guy in later years, but he didn't score! The ball hit the post then stopped on the white line. STOPPED ON THE WHITE LINE! WE were all yelling to kick it again, but I think everyone thought it went in. The other team is currently being recruited for the Preschool Professional Soccer Players of America, so they knew to kick it back out and probably went down to score another goal!

Parker has now asked me to write something on this picture:
P: I love playing soccer at my field. My mommy took beautiful pictures of me. Love, Parker.

I DID NOT BRIBE HIM! He told me word for word and I wrote it! I promise!


You did great babe! I can't wait until tomorrow when we will freeze again to cheer you on!

Great WOlf Lodge

Great wolf LODGE so out of order, but at least it us up! WE had a blast. Last year for Parker's birthday my mom gifted us a night at the GWL. I was prego then, and wanted to wait post baby before we went. Then I temporarily lost the gift card. I FOUND IT just in time for P's birthday this year. SO after school on the 17th we took Bowden to my aunt and me the big kids headed to the lodge. Stacey met us there after work. A PERFECT TIME TO GO is mid week in February! NO ONE WAS THERE! We parked on the first row, space 4! They even upgraded our room to the den! It is so hard when you are checking in, you can see the whole water park from the lobby. My kids were going crazy! I thought Emaline was going to undress right there in the lobby! Be patient since my photos are out of order. THe top photo is when we went for icecream!
Stacey in the top bunk with the kids in their den.
Awaiting the park!

Having fun in their den!When we got there. Look at Poor E's hair. she did have pig tails, but removed them in the car on the way there. Her hair looks so red in this photo to me.

Stacey and Parker enjoying the mushroom.
Emaline coming down the slide. Yes, we had her wear a jacket while we were there. It has been a while since she practiced her swimming moves.

Touring the hotel.
