What is Rest?????

I realized today that it had been a week sense I had wrote anything. It has been a very busy week. We were so busy over the weekend just enjoying having Andy home on Friday was so nice. We went shoe shopping for the kids and then had supper at a Ichiban (Japanese restaurant) it is kind of like a Shogun just in Marshall county. Hahaha but the boys were loving the dinner show and if course the food was delicious.

Saturday I was busy getting ready for Tracey's baby shower until about 10:30 when I was getting Caleb ready an pulled on his arm to comb his hair and well that was a trip to the ER. He had nurses maid elbow. Which is where the tendon rolls over the bone and pulls and obviously really hurts. Poor guy but he was a big boy and did not cry to bad. But we did make it to the shower and enjoyed it.

Andy has had a very hard week at work with all the rain it makes his job very nerve racking since he works on Dams on the Tennessee River. He has worked 12 hours a day since Tuesday. But thankfully he is off tomorrow. We are hopefully going to get a wooden play set for the kids and then going to eat with my family for Andy's birthday (that was in February).

I have been planning our trip to Colorado in May and I am getting so excited about it.

Catch up!

It has been awhile since I posted something! So let's get caught up!

The boys are much better and finished up their mess yesterday. Caleb has some allergies going on but nothing to bad.

We enjoyed the beautiful weather this past weekend. Saturday we ate at Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then went to Lowe's. We got some indoor plants and the boys new shovels. They came home and played so hard and dug a ton of holes. It was such a good day. :-)

Andy started working 10 hour days 4 days a week on Monday so it has been some long days with out him. Also Caleb started Sunday not taking naps so night time is just awful right now. He is so whiny and tired. Not sure how to fix that but it helps at night putting him to bed. He is out in less than 10 minutes where it use to take us about an hour to get him asleep.

We have played a lot outside this week and done some yard work too. Caleb and I have had so much fun trimming bushes while Kyle and Addie take their naps. He is becoming such a big boy it just seems like yesterday he was having his first birthday. He will be 4 in June.

Tomorrow starts our first day with Andy home on Fridays. Not sure what we will end up doing but I am really looking forward to more time with him. Since he took the job with TVA he leaves at 5:30 and does not get him till almost 6 now. So having every Friday will be nice. I can't believe he has been with TVA for a year in April. Time flies.

Well time for me to finish things up so I can hit the sack. It was a busy day today. I went ribbon shopping and came home and made 8 bows for a friend and for Tracey's new baby girl. Can't wait for her shower on Saturday!

Almost back to Normal!

We made it home on Tuesday and had all the kiddos back home by 7:00pm. It was so good to get hugs and kisses from the boys. But they were so sick. Kyle has been so pitiful this week. Today is the first day he has actually played and not been whiny. Caleb you would not even know he has Strep.
Yesterday I had to go run a few errands with ALL the kids. So I get everyone loaded up and we head out. We are on our way to the bank when Kyle coughs and then throws up in the car. Caleb out of reflux he throws up too. Lucky I was close to home so I just came on home and put them in the tub. Oh but before he left Caleb had a horrible diaper and when I laid him down to change him it went all over the carpet and up his back. It was a rough morning but we made it through the day and poor Kyle cried himself to sleep last night cause his ear was hurting. :(
Eventful days like yesterday make me a better mommy I do believe. I hate it when they are that pitiful and helpless.

Today is a much better day the boys are so much better and playing. Just hoping Kyle will eat today. I am sorry for all the graphics earlier but I just wanted to document the day. Hahaha like I will forget it.
Hope you all have a great day!

Heading Home!

So glad to be heading home to Alabama today!  Found out this morning that the boys woke up with fever and headaches.  So off to the Doctor my in laws went with the boys.  She just called and Caleb has Strep and Kyle has an ear infection.  So this trip has been good for us but not for my in laws.  I am glad the boys did get to go to the Zoo yesterday and have fun with Mawmaw and Pappy riding the tractor there and seeing all the animals! On the other hand the child that I was most worried about was Adeline and I talked to my mom this morning and she has been an Angel! 

Time has flown by while we have been here but today it is running slow. Hoping I can have some pictures posted here afterwhile from our trip!

Missing my Babies

We have had a great day but are so ready to see our kids.  We visited Universal Studios today and have laughed at how much we have screamed like kids riding the Mummy and the Rip Rock It. But it has been such a easy day.  It is amazing all the things we can do when we don't have to work around kids naps and them needing to potty and eat.  hahaha  In the past three days we have seen enough tattoos and butts we are not wanting to see anymore.  hahaha
Tomorrow we head back home.  So Alabama we are coming back around 4 watch out we are revived parents.  :)

Have a good night I am off to bed!

Orlando Anniversary Trip

We are having a good time here in Orlando. We arrived Saturday about 2:30 and took an expensive taxi ride to the hotel. We got unloaded and off to find something. We ended up going to a Titanic Dinner Experience here on International Blvd. I highly recommend for adults. The food was very good and the experience was so much fun. We were afraid we would miss our Trolley back but we didn't. Haha
Sunday we got up and went to church at Maingate Church of Chirst (inside Baymont Inn and Suites Celebration hotel) we had a wonderful service and actually met people from Lawrenceburg that my parents knew. Haha After church we headed to Universal Island of Adventure to see Harry Potter World. But we could not get into the Harry Potter World until 2:20 due to the amount of people. So we did a few other things in Jurassic Park and Poesiedion's journey. Then Off to Harry Potter we went. Had a awesome time riding the Forbidden Journey and the Dragons, walking Hogsmeade and eating at the Three Broomsticks. We had our Butter Beer which tasted like cream soda (for non Harry Potter Fans it is not real beer). We got back to our hotel and crashed!!
So Today is a new adventure will post later!!

A new day of....

Today is a new day of last minute errands and packing for our trip. It is so funny at how much stuff the kids need at this stage just to go to grandparents houses. Hahaha that or they are just rotten and will be even more rotten when they get back home. We will definitely have to DETOX the boys when they come home Tuesday night.

Caleb was helping me yesterday pack alittle bit and he said "where are you going?" I told him "you and Kyle are going to maw maw and Pappy's and Addie is going to Granmommy and Pops house me and daddy are going to go ride on an Airplane." he said "I go to mommy". He was so upset cause he was not going. :( so I promised a surprise and I better come back with one!! ;) I love my kids an will really miss them. They are at such a fun age and make me laugh when things make me sad. Children truly do put a smile one my face.

Well, I am now waiting for the boys to fall asleep so I can sneak out of their room and finish up laundry and eveything else I find to do. :)

1 MORE DAY!!!! oh I am so excited I won't be able to sleep tonight.
