I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!

Well, as I said in an earlier post, my neice Christine is expecting her first baby sometime around June or July. My best friend married my brother in law in September. Sara's mom became ill and found out that she had cancer, so the honeymoon was postponed until last week. Well, Cole and Sara finally made it back and guess what!!!!! Another baby!!!!!! This is about the time that I found that I was pregnant with Paige, so all I can say is July is going to be a very busy month for birthdays!!!!!

New Movie

I just found out that there is a movie coming out documenting the life of Billy Graham. It is called Billy. I knew nothing about it until I was shopping at Wal - Mart the other night and found the motion picture soundtrack. I didn't get a chance to buy it, but you can bet that I will as soon as I have the opportunity to get back there. The song selections are excellent. I don't know when the movie is scheduled to come out or even if any of the theatres around here are going to pick it up. I cant wait to see it. Well, I am taking Paige to a special program at the library, so I guess that is it for now. Until we meet again!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW

So, Paige started kindergarten this year and I took it upon myself to be the class mom. Today was their Thanksgiving Feast. I was at the school all day helping out. I love kids, but have a new found respect for teachers and now know why I am a nurse instead!!! I'm going to take a nap!!

Thank You, Sean Rackley...

For following my blog. It shows that at least someone is interested in what I have to say, no matter how much since it does not make. Tell Marissa I have been thinking of her and I will give her a call soon. Aidan is one of the most handsome boys I have ever seen!!!! See you soon!

You dirty dog!!!

Everyone know how distraught I have been since the death of our beloved Rottie, Chaos. I needed another big dog to come live with us to scare off any burglars, creepos, villains, Lex Luthors or any other bad guys that may come our way. OK, it was just to give me peace of mind since every dog we have ever had have just been big softies afraid of their own shadow. Enter Jake. 100 pounds of pure dumbness. Think "Which way did he go George?" He looks mean, so he serves his purpose even though no on knows that he is completely harmless. Anywho, the lady who lives down the street who always used to come and yell at my husband that our dog tore up her trash every day (he slept inside, there was no way he was tearing up her trash unless at night he some how got thumbs and he could disarm our security system and let himself in and out) well, her dog has been coming into our yard, not tearing up trash but eating Cool Whips food. Yes I do have a dog named cool whip. She is half Chiwawa and half jack Russell. It's a long story as to why she is named that...It's for another post. Anyway, this other dog has been being a nuisance for a few weeks now and Jake finally stepped up and did his job, chasing the stray back home. Well, he didn't want to come back really and was basically just running around the cul - de - sac where we live like a crazy person. It took me an hour to catch him and drag him back to our yard. I let him know that he was in big trouble and that type of behavior was not to be tolerated. I don't think that he believed me though because what was i going to do? Take away his favorite rope? Anyway as I was bringing him back to his kennel, he stopped where cool whip was sitting and proceeded to relieve himself on her. Yes he peed on my little dog and she just sat there. EEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! He then walked calmly to his dog house and laid right down as nothing ever happened. I think I can laugh at it now that everyone involved has had a bath and all are secured until the next potty break, but man what a morning!!!!!! Does anyone know of any dog therapists? If someone relieved themselves on me, I would be in dire need of one LOL

I'm a GREAT aunt

Or at least I like to think so. I hope the neices and nephews do to. They always seem to have a great time when they come over here!! The neices and nephews range in age anywhere from three to 28 and all in between. Well, last week we get a call from my sister in law saying that my oldest neice age 24 is pregnant. That officialy makes me a "great aunt". Wow. When I think of that I think of an old lady. Hey, I'm still not finished having kids yet. What a blessing though that my twins will now have someone their age to grow up with!! Growing up is something that they are doing so fast!! Peyton can now say mama, bye, car, Jake (the dog) and kiss Pressley still speaks her own language, but Peyton can sure understand her. The other day, they somehow got into a case of diapers and it looked like the pamper factory exploded in the nursery!!! When I walked in and found them both were laughing and grinning from ear to ear!!! There is no way to get mad at them after that. More later!!!! I hsve to pick Paige up from school in a bit then it's off to the library!!!

Thank You!!!

Due to life happening, I fell way behind on my housework. Thank you so much to Zack, Kim and Kristian who helped me clean up when they came over. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. Well, after the loss of my beloved Rottweiler, we are finally getting a new "guard" dog. Jake is coming to live with us due to Clay and Erica not being allowed to have pets due to the deer that live next door. Don't tell anyone, but Jake is a big baby who loves everyone...He just looks mean!!!! Well, that's all for now!!

How Fast Time Flies

I remember March 26, 2008 like it was just this morning. I went to the hospital thinking that I had pulled a muscle and found out that the twins were on the way. Ready or not here they come. Two beautiful, HEALTHY, princesses came kicking and screaming into this world on March 27 at 1 am. 2 Months early. Fastforward 7 and a half months and it brings us to today. The twins that I never thought thatI had and the one I was told might be a little "slow" have grown, thrived and accomplished so much. Pressley by the way is no where near slow like the doctor said she was going to be. Peyton is a little mischevious genious as well. They are doing so much. One of Pressley's favorite things to do is give eskimo kisses, you know, where you rub noses with one another. As I put them down for their morning nap, I looked down and saw her and Peyton turn toward one another and touch noses. Both of them had the biggest smiles on their faces. Then as I was leaving, Peyton said, in the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, "kiss". In case you haven't figgured it out, that was her first word!!! I wish everyone could have a bond and connection as strong as that of a set of twins. In the words of the Oakridge Boys, "did you ever stop to think or wonder why, the nearest thing to Heaven is a child?". I totally agree!!

Election

This is definitely a year to go in the history books. For the first time in the history o the United States of America, a black man has been elected for the office of Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces. Otherwise known as the president. I also think that he will do a great job as president. One thing that has really irritated me during this whole long process is the ignorant uninformed comments that I am hearing from various people around me. One person keeps on saying that the only reason she didn't want him in office is because he is Muslim. Number one, he is not Muslim and number two, people flock to this great nation every day seeking freedom from religious persecution. And the other things that I keep hearing are quips about the color of his skin. It is not a good enough reason to vote or not to vote for someone based solely on skin color. Dr Seuss said it best...a person's a person no matter how small. Substitute the word different, or what ever descriptive for the word small and you will see how we should look at life. That's all for now
