A Few Moments to Spare

I need to catch up after a busy week and weekend. I had my garage sale to unload some more of Morgan's clothes. I had an average sale. I am going to take some to resale and try that as well. One sale at a time to get rid of stuff. Morgan has officially started kidergarten. That made for an exciting and busy week last week. Today was the first day the entire class were together. They brought them back in half classes for her grade. I am glad but sad as well. Today I was dropping her off and I asked her to give me a kiss. She did and it was an okay one so I told her to give mommy a good kiss. In the meantime I looked up and two little boys were walking in front of the car and she got out and did not kiss me again. I was sad that she was a little embarassed to kiss her mommy. I did get a good kiss before bed tonight to make up for it. I just can not believe I have a child in school all day. The time goes by so fast. Those are the times I thank God for providing me in my line of work and also allowing me to spead time with my children. I know that someday I will get the opportunity to do more with me work during the day. Some days I feel like I might not hang with the other realtors in sales and I want to do the best in all I do. God does know what is best and being with my babies is what I will never get back. I got some time to sit and watch Morgan and Blake on the coach the other day. You have to watch this little video moment I captured. I love them both so much and this is what makes being a mom so wonderful. Enjoy!!!

Words that Kids Choose

Morgan and Blake were playing while I was doing super. For once they left the kitchen instead of standig at my feet. They were screaming and hiding from each other when Morgan comes running in the kitchen holding her air out of her face and said " I just scared the S out of Brother". Jason and I were shocked and did not know what to say at first. She did get time and and a talking to. Kids what they choose to say and do that is out of our control

Long Week

I had a long week and I am looking forward to the weekend. I had CE hours this week again and had to be gone. I also had another break down only this time it involved a personnel situation. I am glad for the good friends I have been blessed to have in my life. At times like these it makes you appreciate the finer things in life. I will move forward the best I can and hope in the end God will guide me and remind me of where my focus should be. I am looking forward to the weekend and our GIRLS NIGHT. And for the record I confirmed Blakes ear infection with the Docotor Monday and he is on Meds. Morgan had asthma problems start up this week with two nights of getting sick at bedtime and now she is saying her ear hurts. And I had my Granma to the doctor on Tues to find out why she had been feeling weak and dizzy all weekend. Life can be trying and I try to make the best of it. When times get tough I cherish the sweet comments from my kids like when Morgan say's "Mommy I want to lay with you, I love you mommy"and wipes away tears from my eyes. That is what is important.

Big Weekend with a Big Break Down

We had another eventfull weekend. Friday night we went on our Group Scavanger Hunt. It was a lot of fun. I should have pictures to share when I get our from Kelly. My camera was not charged. That is not the first time that has happened at an important time. Just my luck. Seeing Jason being the greeter at Wal-mart was a good laugh. Dinner was nice and it was great for everyone to meet the other side of our group. That is the guys joined us for the big event.

On Saturday I went for a walk early which was nice then I attended a baby shower. That gives me the thought of having another baby. It just reminds me of how preciuos little ones are. During the afternoon we attended a family reunion for Jason's family. It was at Perkins Park. It was nice seeing the Waste side of the family which we do not see often. The kids had fun at the Park and Morgan always makes a friend. She found the little ones and ran around with them. Blake wanted to go thru the tunnels and enjoyed the slide. He kept telling me to catch me Mommy and he wanted Daddy to help him up the step to go down again.

On Sunday I walked again. I was dedicated this weekend. It was such a nice weekend to be outside. My parents were going on a boat ride so they said we should take our boat out. We had not had it out this year due to the flooding. We got the boat ready and Mike and Christy went and my Brother Tim and Amy went. We boated up river fine, checked out the flood damage at lunch and then went to meet our family downriver and the boat would not start. We thought it was something simple but we never did get it fixed. So the story goes, we got towed by my uncle and we went to a sandbar and grilled out food. Jason continued to work on the boat but we never did get it going. We enjoyed the afternoon and took some photos of the kids the best we could do for the situation we were in. I am not sure the Ford family will want to attend another outing with us. I felt like we were with the Wiseman clan. Their boat always would be the one to break down. Amazing-the big breakdown and Jason and I were part of it. All was well and the kids were exhausted. Blake had not slept the night before because of his ears so he was ready to go to bed tonight. All asleep and ready for another week.

Weeked Parties

This weeked was very eventful. We had a family birthday party in Ft. Madison for Jason's grandpa and cousin. We had wonderful sweetcorn again. Tis the season. Then on Sat. I watched Kaley and had the scare of my life. I had to leave for one hour to show a house and Jason was instructed to not let the kids eat while I was gone. Kaley has allergies to many food items and I did not want him to go there. On the way home I called to check in and then he informs me the girls were eating goldfish. I freaked out and called Shawna. Of course she was not suppose to have those. I get in check her over and all seemed well. I still was not conviced she was okay. I talked to Shawna for a few minutes and everythink seemed normal as could be. I did want to kill Jason at that moment in time and could not believe he did not know they were in eating those. Needless to say he went out to mow and I watched the kids. We had a wedding Sat night and on Sunday we had Alyvia's birthday party along with my cousin Megan's.

The kids swam and jumped in the jump house. It was a nice little night. Blake digs playing with the girls. He needs more boy playmates. He thinks that all the there is is purses, dolls, dishes and things that are pink. He loved playing with all of Alyvia's new toy's including her new pink bike. Take a peek at the picture I took. Jason just loves all this. Not sure how to solve the problem. What can I say-he likes to play house, kithcen, shopping and pink things.

Deer

Last Wed. Jason had to work overtime and the kids and I went to eat at my in-laws house. My mother in-law has us over once a week for dinner. It is nice to have someone else do the cooking one night a week. Usually my bother in-law shows up and the kids get a chance to see him. It's nice to visit and catch up with them. Well back to what I was going to say-We were getting ready to leave and Blake started saying deer -deer. I looked up and out the back window there was two deer eating in the backyard. The kids ran up to the window and the deer looked up and stared at us. The kids must of been loud enough that the deer heard them. That would not surprise me any. The went back to eating. Then we looked out the patio door and there was two more deer out eating. By this time Morgan and Blake were excited. Grandpa took them outside so I could get them home and he took them over by the garage to see if there was anymore deer and sure enought five deer ran into the woods. Now the kids are always looking for deer at Grandma and Grandpa's. We joked around that daddy should just go sit at grandma's to go deer hunting. On the drive home Morgan and I were talking about the deer and we looked out at the field on Madison street and show two more deer. That is right that makes a total of eleven deer in a matter of 15 minutes. What a night for the kids. I am going to have to take some pictures next time.
