Happy Birthday Kelley Rose!

Well today my dear daughter turned 5 years old! I can't believe how time flies. We sure have enjoyed having her (yes, even her sassiness!) We have watched her over the past year grow and mature into a great little girl. Never a dull moment and lots of fun when she is around. She loves the world around her. I've added some pictures of the birthday girl.

We made pizza for dinner, her idea, and here she is helping.

And just this last one cuz it was just so CUTE! Her and her Uncle Charlie.





With those all posted I will leave you a Kelleyism: Friday morning our conversation goes something like this... (After just waking up) K: Mom, I have a headache Me: Oh you do? I'm sorry. Would you like some medicine to help it feel better? K: Yes, because I think my brain is malfunctioning. Hahahaha! Thanks for reading this...Hope it finds you all well and happy. Until next time. Hugs!

A couple Kelleyisms for you all...

So, the other day, Kelley was sticking anything and everything in her mouth and chewing on it. She saw it, she was chewing on it. So, I asked her, are you getting teeth or something, because you are chewing on EVERYTHING!? She looks at me and says, Not the walls!...I stand corrected, it was not everything! LOL

And the other, She had fallen asleep on the couch, and I just left her there instead of changing her out of her clothes and putting her in her bed. Well, in the middle of the night she comes in and wants to sleep with me in my bed, so I pull her jeans off so she would be more comfy. When she wakes up, she says "MOM! Why don't I have any pants on?!" and I say, "Because I pulled them off of you in the middle of the night." Kelley: "OH, I don't remember that." Me: Well, you were probably half asleep" Kelley: OH Did I have one eye open and eye closed?, Cuz that's half asleep" Haha Silly, silly girl!

I was sooo wrong...

Just when I thought that it was getting warmer, and that we were all getting better...Things totally change! Today it was freezing and it hailed and snowed! So not fun! AND I took CJ to the doctor, and he has double ear infections and bronchitis! Poor little guy. He is on an antibiotic, and they gave him some ear drops to relieve the pain from his ear infections. It's amazing to see the difference before and after the drops! They are awesome.

Nothing else to report. So, until next time...Hugs!

Getting Excited

Because it's getting warmer outside! I know, it's sad when I think 45 degrees is warm! I am THINKING about taking the kids to the park, so that Ryan can get some semi-decent sleep. I have to go to the store today anyway, so a stop at the park would be a fun treat. I will be sure to get some pictures.

In other news...there isn't much. but, Ryan and I are getting ready to head to Arizona for his youngest brother's wedding. I'm looking forward to it very much. It will be a nice trip.

I think we are all finally on the mend. FINALLY being a wonderful word at this point. Looking forward to us all being healthy and happy again. For those of you that have kids, you totally understand the HAPPY part of that! I do not like it when the kids get sick, which makes them cranky and clingy.

Well here is to you all that you are happy and healthy! Until next time...Hugs!

Anybody Else?

Is anyone else sick and tired of being, sick and tired?! I swear, it seems to me, one of us ALWAYS has something, and as soon as we think it's gone, in comes another wave of something different! UGH! I CANNOT wait until Spring! Besides that, it's sooo COLD! (I know, I know, that's what happens when you live in Idaho huh?) LOL

Ok on to something different...Can you believe the superbowl game?? That was fantastic! I can't believe the Cards actually gave them a run for their money! I was hoping they would be able to pull off the win, but it just wasn't meant to be...Still, a GREAT game! We had another couple over for the game and some GREAT snackage...It was fun.

I don't really have anything else to write about, so until next time. Hugs!!

Kelleyism for today...

Sweet little thing that she is, ran up to Ryan after he got up from sleeping and says..."Give me a hug ya big Lug!" Haha! Silly, silly girl.

I know...I'm a slacker!

So, again, here it is, another month has gone by, and I haven't posted! I don't really have an excuse except for life. Juggling several schedules, Ryan's school schedule, his work schedule, and my work schedule tends to prove a little bit rediculous at times! But, we are all surviving, and that's the most important thing. So what is new with us...ummm Zachary got stiches! That was an eventful day. He cut himself at school with his scissors, and ended up in the ER and had to get 6 stiches! He just got them out a couple of days ago, and I can't even believe how fast it has healed! Our little CJ has started walking! He is getting really good at it, and usually prefers to walk, unless he wants to get there super fast, then he will crawl and go as fast as his arms and legs will take him. Nothing else really going on around here, just busy with life. I will however leave you with a Kelleyism. Whenever she knows she has done something wrong, or knows that we will be unhappy about something that has to do with her, this is what she says..."It's a good thing you love me huh?" How can you get mad at that?!? Until next time. Hugs!
