Wordless Wednesday

10 on Tuesday

1. I just found out today that I have to go to Houston Friday for work. I don't mind going to Houston I just wish it was another weekend.. Oh well I'll be home Friday by 6pm, quick trip

2. Chad and his buddies are going camping and 4 wheeling this weekend. Lets all hope Chad doesn't get injured in one way or another! :)
3. Caden isn't sleeping well at night. I'm SO tired I can barely hold my head up.
4. We got a new dog. His name is Maverick. A couple from work were going to take him to a shelter and I couldn't let that happen so I took him home. He is so cute!

5. I haven't been cooking much this week. Just don't feel like it. I cooked last night because Chad asked me to, which should go in the record book! He said he missed my cooking. Surprised me, I don't cook all that well

6. I spoke with a home builder this weekend and I found a GREAT floor plan. But I don't think we can afford it and who knows when we will actually sell the house.

7. I hope the weather is nice this weekend, the kids and I don't want to be couped up in the house all weekend long.

8. We need some plants and/or flowers planted outside. I have NO gardening skills, nor do I care to have them. I just wish our house had better curb appeal.

9. Last night Chad had a cupcake but told Caley she couldn't have one b/c she was with pappy all day and ate tons of sugar. A few QUIET minutes later he walked in the kitchen and found her with a half eaten cupcake. I couldn't believe she did that!

10. Caden now say Uh Oh! It is the cutest word in the world!!!

Caden is allergic to milk

Poor little guy. I talked with his doctor a few weeks ago and she said it was okay to start him on some whole milk. We did and he seemed to really like it, no problems switching over at all. Caley HATED milk so it was hard to switch her over. Well Caden's eczema has been flaring up REALLY bad and his little eyes water all the time. It took my mom and Chad both to tell me before I even THOUGHT of it, that he was allergic to the milk. I took him to the doctor and she agrees. So we are back on formula for two weeks and then we will try soy milk. She doesnt want him to have cheese or yogurt or anything dairy right now. I really hope he grow out of this.

House for Sale

Chad and I have been talking about putting the house for sale. We contacted a real estate agent, Dana Wilson and she came out Saturday. She was at the house for several hours showing us a couple things to fix/finish and a little bit of staging. As she was leaving she put a for sale sign in the yard. We don't have to sell and we wont take an offer we don't like. We definitely want to move before Caley starts school, that is a few years away but I want to go ahead to get established somewhere.. We will see how it goes. Wish us luck!

10 Tuesday

1. I'm not taking pictures of the kids like I used too. I really have to start.

2. Superbowl Sunday was great! I wish I had won the pot though

3. I'm SO tired. I'd kill for 12-15 hours of sleep.

4. I bought a super cute new purse from Target and I LOVE it. http://www.target.com/Mossimo-Black-Printed-Tote-Trim/dp/B001J3UGGK/qid=1233698431/ref=br_1_1/182-4876407-2455416?ie=UTF8&node=370215011&frombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=370215011&rank=price&rh=tgt%5F2%3ABlack&page=3 the picture doesnt do it justice

5. I also bought a cute pair of shoes that arent really "me" but I really like that. I havent worn them yet but cant wait to. I cant find a picture of them so I'll just post one later

6. I have two birthday parties scheduled at the same time on Sunday :( Chad and Caley will go to the 3 y/o twins bday party and Caden and I will go to my BFF's 1 y/o bday party.. I hate to miss the twins party but I really want to be at my BFF's when her baby turns 1

7. We got a 55 gallon salt water fish tank. Right now it only has 5 'starter' fish in there, they wont be in there forever. Chad is doing ALL things fish tank, I do nothing. To much work and saltwater is to finiky for me.. Is finiky spelled right?

8. I SHOULD not post this but Caden has slept though the night for 2 nights!!! I'm still tired but wow its been nice!

9. I need to loose a few pounds. 5-10lbs I dont know b/c I havent weighed in a while but my clothes are getting tight and my belly is big. BLAH I did SO well there for a while and lost weight and looked and felt good, now - not so much

10. Anyone know how to get dog pee out of carpet? I've tried a couple things and I tried to use my moms carpet cleaner - NO luck.. stupid dog

Wordless Wednesday

10 on Tuesday!

I'm stealing this 10 on Tuesday from some other blogs I read :)

1. Caden and I are sick... BLAH But we are both on some drugs so we are on the mend.

2. My idiot neighbor who hit my truck is DENYING it so his insurance wont pay for my truck to be fixed.. Its a good thing our deductible is only $250.. Still really really sucks

3. My sister got a new car and its SO cute!! I love it. I'll post pics soon. Its a 2009 Scion TC, white with a sun roof and a spoiler.

4. Chad is trying to sell his 4wheeler, he may come home from work without it. He wants to buy a motorcycle, to bad for him, he married me! haha

5. Amy and Cole are in town!!!!! I can NOT wait to go see them. I play on going out this weekend. Caley and Melissa went last night. Caley loved seeing Cole and Amy

6. Chad and I love craigslist! I've been selling some of Caley and Caden's baby stuff. Swing, bumbo, papasan. Its great! Chad bought his current 4wheeler off of craigslist and sits on it every night looking for someone who wants to trade for his 4 wheeler or looking for something to buy once he sells his

7. I can NOT believe it 2009.. Seriously last year seemed to just fly by. Caden will be 10 months old this Saturday, which means in 2 SHORT months my baby will be 1!!! I cant believe it

8. We went to my uncle David's Saturday night to say bye to my cousin Bryan. He is going to the Army! I'm so excited for him and hope everything goes well. We havent seen David and Lisa and all the kids in a while and it was AWESOME to be with them all.

9. My cousin Scott and his daughter Kenna and my other cousins daughter Emma came over Saturday. The girls and Caley had so much fun playing together!

10. Finally, today is my Monday at work since I was home with my sick baby yesterday, and I already wish it were Friday.......

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Wordless Wednesday

I know its supposed to be wordless but here are a couple of pics from January 2008

December pictures

I just uploaded like 150 something pictures today and I'm going to share some :) and add a few updates

Caden is crawling all OVER the place. He can also crawl ALL the way up the stairs, so we had to pull out the baby gate. He just started to stand up without holding onto anything this week! He will take one step forward and then fall. Its so cute and he gets so excited! He is a little dare devil already and that SCARES momma! Caden LOVES playing in the play room with Caley. He also LOVES LOVES LOVES his baths, since his eczema is so bad he only gets one every other day and they cant be long. He screams when you take him out. He also is into big people food. He isn't big on his baby food anymore and so far I haven't found any food he doesn't like!

Caley is getting big! She and her pappy ride their 4wheelers, almost daily. Some days its just to cold. I went riding with her on NYE and she just amazes me. She does great and has so much fun. She still loves her baby brother. He can pull her hair or scratch her or steal her toys and she doesn't care in the least. She just says its okay mommy he's not hurting me.... Caley also loves bath time, but always has. She is not a great eater but she is actually getting better. She got 1 of her 4 year shots in November and then once in December. She didn't cry either time. I warn her ahead of time and she prepares herself, as I said she is getting SO big. The doctor comment on how good she is and how well she has self control. Caley got an easel from Santa for Christmas and she is slowly starting to write things like her name, our names and her last name. I was sitting in there with her one day and asked her if she wanted to try to right her name and was amazed when she did it! I've never tried to have her write before.

Caley and Pappy were in the Terrell parade Saturday! Dad made a sleigh to go over her 4 wheeler. She did awesome and was so proud of herself. It was really fun!

Preschool and Jack

Caley started a 'preschool' class on November 3rd! So far its going well. She cried on the 2nd day but hasn't cried since. The teachers told Pappy that she is VERY smart and the teacher told my mom that all the kids LOVE Caley. This is only through the month of November. It goes on throughout the year but its put a strain on everyone having to take her and pick her up.

Here is a picture of her on her first day!

And Jack...

I have never met precious Jack or his family in person but this little boy made such a big impact on so many lives. He was born with CHD (congenital heart defect) November 15, 2005. Jack was a couragious little man who lost his fight on October 31, 2008. Jack loved the color red and firetrucks. To honor him the kids and I wore red on the day of his funeral, we actually buried my uncle on the same day 8 years ago, we were with his parents and family in spirit.

Happy Halloween!

Caley wanted to be a pink butterfly this year but after going to the store with Nana and Pappy she settled for this purple butterfly.
Caden was a cute little pumpkin!
Chad, Dad and Scott were all just really ugly scary guys. Caley has been playing with these masks for weeks so that she wouldn't be scared of them, and she wasn't. Thankfully Caden is to little to know.

8 years

8 years... Sometimes 8 years feels like a life time ago, other times it feels like yesterday.
Uncle Bret passed away 8 years ago tonight. I remember that night. Where I was, what I was doing, the weather. Such a sad night for my entire family. I cant believe it's been 8 years. I was 17. The last 8 years have sort of gone by fast for the most part. Sometimes it seems like its going in slow motion.
I miss my uncle terribly. I know everyone in the family does too. Unfortunatly for us, life goes on. The minutes the day the months and the years - 8 years. He is the only person I've lost who I was really close too. Those first minutes, days and months you just don't know how to go on. You dont know how life will go on without your loved one. A lot of great things have happened in these 8 years for all of us and I'm so thankful for that. It breaks my heart he isnt here for these things. Seeing his daughter graduate high school and college. Meeting his sons wife and his first grandson, named after him. His wife who misses him dearly. All his great neices and nephews.
We miss you so much Uncle Bret. I think of you and miss you daily.
I love you Uncle Bret
