I Know I Know

Ok, so it has been 9 days since my last post, CRAZY I know, by far my longest break. I have been really busy this last week, I am not sure what with, but I haven't had much time to blog. I have tons of pictures and story's waiting to be blogged. Don't worry, this weekend I will set aside a few moments to catch you up with what has been going on, I promise.

Halloween Fun

my little people Kirsten as a Vampire (this was my first time with makeup, I need some more practice) Jackson as a minature horse Ashton as a fire fighter, already a stud Kelsey as a rag doll, so sweet

20 Weeks Old

Squash is yummy, I am a mean Mommy and give all the veggies before I give the fruit. Not only that, but he has to eat squash for a week just to make sure he isn't allergic before we start a new flavor.

What A Good Big Brother

Since I have found out that we were pregnant with Jackson I was worried about how Ashton would take it. So far so good, just mild irritation. He most of the time is very gentle, loving and concerned about what is going on with our baby. Here he is feeding the "baby milk" to Jackson, and so proud of it. He has such a sweet little spirit mixed in with his terrible two's, I love you so much Buddy, I just want to squeeze you.

My Washier Is Broken, But....

that means a NEW washier. So I go shopping on Craig's list, I know so WT, but there are so many good deals on there I just had to check. Bingo, a family that just bought these in February of 2008 was loosing there home and needed cash. They were only selling as a set so we got them both for $1000, wow I know smoking deal. They just paid $1800 for them not even a year ago and they are still under warranty too. Dad thankfully was up here fishing so he hooked them up for me since well you know, gimpy, just kidding pumpkin pie. Thanks Dad, what would I do without you.

"Spongebob"

When Ashton watches TV, really only happens in the car it is on noggin, car's the movie, or Nick (whatever the girls have on). Well he has been paying attention, because as we were surfing the channels and come across spongebob, he shouts out, "spongebob". What, did he just say what I thought he said, oh yes, for sure.

Lala Is Gone Again

My Mommy left today, I just love her so much it is SO sad to see her leave. I won't see her again till the middle of February, I am counting down the days already.

The Liese Hair Salon

Lala and Papa were good sports and let the girls do there hair, very unique I have to say.

Kirsten And Kelsey's Cheer And Dance Video Clip

Cheer competition was totally freak me out awsome!! The girls had tons of fun and I was totalyy into it, it made all the hard work worth it at the end. Dad and Lisa came up to show some support, and it was nice to be there with someone. Daniel wasn't able to come due to all of his pain, he was very upset that he missed it. Great job girls, your Mama was yelling in the stands for you, I have the proof.

Cheer Competition Pic's

I Missed It, But Lala Didn't

So while I was at the cheer competition Daniel text me that Jackson rolled over. What he has almost been doing it now for about a week, and I missed it. My Mom was playing with him, and she was so excited that at least she will have been able to see one of his firsts. I have been trying to catch him on video but haven't succeeded yet. Follow up to coming.

Cheer Competition Prep

Sponge curlers and a uncomfortable night's sleep...only for cheer.

Thank You Mrs. Cindy

Every time we go to Mrs. Cindy's Ashton is totally obsessed with Lighting Mc Queen. So this last visit she decided to just give it to him, what a softy, Ashton clearly still has her wrapped around his little finger. I am sure some daycare kid will be looking for that on Monday.

Captain Cape Lady Lala

Lala being a Lala, Mom I miss you so much already.

Uncle Nemo

This is my brother from South Dakota, Nemo (yes like the orange and white clown fish, can't you see the resemblance), the kids love to spend time with him, especially since he moved so far away from us. This is the only animal that is allowed in my house, and I am only ok with it because that's how I get my Mom to stay here. However I can't wait to vacuum when he leaves, gross, love you Nemo.

"Magic" Markers

I can't believe it, I have never let Ashton color before (when he gets into the girls coloring stuff in there room while no one is watching doesn't count). Here he is cheesing it up for me while making a master piece.

Witch No More

Kelsey had made this really cute witch last fall at Donna's house, so I put it out for fall decoration this year. Ashton had been eyeing this witch for a couple days, well Ashton's just couldn't help himself and he picked it apart. Kelsey of course was heart broken and Ashton was helpful and put it all in the garbage when he was done with it. Poor Kelsey :(

19 Weeks Old

So now that we are officially eating solid foods I went and got the highchair out of the closet. I can't believe my baby, my last baby is already 5 months, I miss him being a wee little guy already.

Happy Birthday Trevor !!

Happy Birthday BIG 21 year old! Don't follow in your brother's foot steps, just kidding.

Mini Mommy

Kirsten has given herself the name of Mini Mommy. On Monday I had to work, so someone had to take care of the baby, just change and feed him. With Daniel being hurt he is not surpose to be picking the little brick up. So I hired Kirsten for $3, good deal huh. I explained what she would need to do, make sure she gets up no later than 6:45 so that she can be ready before the boys wake up. She asked if I would get a list together so she wouldn't forget anything, so efficent, I wonder were she gets it from, I am only that way sometimes. When I called her at 7:15 that morning she says "I am ready, all I have to do is eat breakfast, I fed the baby and Ashton and changed there diapers. When I was wiping Jackson's little bottom he cried because the wipe was cold and his eyes weren't all the way awake". So sweet, she is the Mini Mommy, I am so very thankful to have Kirsten's help.

Daniel's Progress

Sweet little pumpkin pie (don't tell any of his friends that he answers to this) is doing good. Of course he is still in pain, but making progress everyday. He went to the stores yesterday for almost 6 hours and took care of some work. He wore his brace for his ribs and back comfort and a knee brace to help with the torn ligament. The last two nights have been better he actually slept, he hasn't been taking any of the pain meds just Tylenol for several reasons. However he picked up the baby this morning when I ran to take the girls to school and it sounds like it was pretty painful, oops. Please continue to pray for a good and fast recovery, we need our Daddy back, I miss jumping on him and being able to give him a real hug.

BUNCO

Years ago the only thing I knew about bunco was that a group of what I thought was old ladies that don't work get together to play this dice game. Daniel and I used to make fun of Jaime my MIL for playing, and what is funny when I got invited to be in this group I was so excited. Boy how times have changed huh, it was nice to have some adult time. I travel to Roseville to play but all the driving is worth it, plus the years of commuting makes an hour drive seem really not all that far. The whole way there I was weired out by how quit it was in the car, I can turn the radio up load, sing and not have to worry about what I am playing on the radio. Teresa (Donn'a SIL) hosted the first night, now let me tell you, she has 5 yes 5 kids (I can't imagine having one more, it seems crazy) and her house was clean, she made wonderful desserts including the adorable Halloween decorated cup cakes, oh and of course made her own whip cream on top of her cake, (Donna that was for you, lol). And to top it off her home is decorated in every room including the bathroom for fall/Halloween. Wow I am impressed, I try to be all together like this but some how something is always let undone. At this point everyone is lucky to have clean underwear put away in there dresser and not just folded on the coffee table. I had a lot of fun and now look forward to the third Tuesday of every month.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA WAYNE!

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday Papa Wayne/Dad

Happy Birthday to you

My Dad is now 56 years old, WOW! We love you Dad, wish we could be with you.

The Poll Is In And...

most of you are smart enough to understand why we are selling the quads, well 60% of you. Ricky put up a good fight and voted 9 times, but the effort's weren't enough, sorry. They are out of here!

Cheeseburger Wrapper

We had to eat at the old Mac Donald's while we were out, and while I was eating Jackson wanted to get his hands on my cheeseburger wrapper so bad I just had to let to have it. He played with this for 10 minutes. He is totally at that stage when they grab at everything, so much fun.

Game Day

Today actually went pretty much stress free, it was nice. My Mom was worried she wouldn't get to see any of the girls games, so she was excited to be able to attened one. Both the girls did a great job today, for a second I thought I might miss it when we are done next weekend, but that second passes quick.

The Poor Person's Baby Swing

All you need is one canvas bag and this provided endless hours of entertainment and a workout.

Yummy Dinner

I love a good dinner on a paper plate, meat loaf, corn, salad and potatoes, yummy.

My New Apron

I have wanted this apron for a long time, I would see it all the time when I was working in the Nugget, but never felt like I needed it. Well after cooking a lot more and recking my shirts I asked Lisa to keep an eye out for me, and finally after months of being out of stock they came in. Lisa surprised me with it last weekend, I love it, however it is not fathering to my figure, oh well, it is what it is.

Hi-Tech Paging System

This is what Daniel uses to page me, I know it is a good idea, I'll take credit for it.

Folks We Have A Cheater

So as you all can see we have the poll of "should we sell the quads?" in the top right corner of the blog. Well for days all 100% said to sell the quads. Then Ricky must have hopped on the blog and saw the poll, ever since then I realize the number keeps going up. I mention to Daniel that Ricky has voted more than once, I know it is him, no one else would be on that side. So this afternoon Ricky says to Daniel "I think the blog keeps track of who votes because it would only let me vote one time on my computer, so I had to use all the work computers to vote also. That would explain why the "absolutely not" to selling the quads is so high, that's OK, I know better. Real funny Ricky, ha ha ha, it is unenviable, they are gone, bye bye now.

Anyone Else?

The kids and I hardly ever need to go to the doctor's. However, since we have had no insurance it seems like everyone needs to. The baby has had a nasty cough for a while, Kirsten hurt her ankle at cheer leading practice, Kirsten has pink eye and the big one Daniel's accident. Anyone else, geese, when is that darn application going to be done P-R-C-E-S-S-I-N-G, get it done already.

New Pictures

We have this really ugly shelf that holds some speaker for the surround sound and I just added some great stuff to it. I framed some of the pumpkin patch pictures and added some fall decor, and now it doesn't just look like a shelf for the dumb speaker.

Out And About

Daniel continues to make big stides everyday. Today he walked around the house and walked outside for some fresh air and even joined us at the table for dinner. Great job Daddy, keep it up, I am going to work on Monday.

Finally

I have been counting down the days for my Mommy to get her, and today she did. It was great to hug here and see her in person and not just on the web -cam. She was of course thrilled to see the kids and especially Jackson. The last time she saw him he wasn't even a week old, she couldn't wait to get her hands on all those rolls.

A New Rider

Since the death of the quad rider, Ashton has found a new quad/dirt bike rider, Barbie, and someones needs to tell her that a mini skirt isn't the best thing to wear on a quad/dirt bike, and she should really get a helmet.

I Wish

I wish this really worked sometimes.

You Do What At School

I send Kirsten to get an education and this is what she is really learning at school, how to make your hand look like a face.

18 Weeks Old

My sweet little baby sleeping and sucking his thumb, he hasn't figured out that you can suck your thumb and close your hand.

Thank Goodness For Grandma Lisa

Lisa has been a wonderful help, she has been doing laundry, dishes, changing diapers, feeding babies, being a taxi, and all of the above. She took a little stroll with the boys this afternoon to get some air and excerise.

Progress

Last nite was rough, Daniel was in a lot of pain, couldn't get comfortable and didn't get to sleep until really late. It was about 3:00 when he was some what comfortable to fall asleep. Today he made good progress, he got up and sat at the couch and I fed him his lunch. He poop, it sounded like it wasn't that pleasant but the stool softeners should help for next time, and I didn't have to wipe, so I was thrilled about that , I thought for sure it was going to go down like that. I gave him another shower which he is liking for several different reasons (I thought the pain would kill the thought but nope it didn't, lol) also the hot water on his lower back is soothing. If we keep up this progress he should be able to go to work by Monday I hope, he will be doing a lot of sitting but at least he will be there. Ashton is totally weirded out with all of this, he was giving Daniel kinda like the cold shoulder, but today he loosened up a little and watched a movie with his fav, Daddy.
