Catch up

Man, who has time to really sit down and keep up with anything like this with work, family, and facebook. When I started this blog I had the best intentions to keep it up.

Thank you for Easter morning and Easter Eggs Amen.......

It was hard to convince Jack to sit for pics but from our family to yours....Happy Easter!!!!!!!!

Our Trip to the Park

Jack is the green shirt hidden between the planks.

And I wonder how he always gets hurt.....

A couple of Saturdays ago we took the kids to the park and started talking about what to do for their birthdays......Viv, being Dave's child has come up with the idea to have it at our house and charge people. The entrance fee for coming to the house will be children $2.00 and adults $6.00, I said do you really think people will want to pay for your party and give you gifts?

FYI, since the store closes on Jack's birthday we will have it the following weekend and no one will be charged, I promise.

The Closing of the store

This is what we look like now, we have until the 24th of April. This has been part of my life since 2001 and now I am stepping into new shoes. I still don't know what I am going to do but I am sure God will bring something into place soon. Jack got on to me the other day because I said that the store was like my baby. You can't really read the sign but it says that this location is closing but yet people read it daily and ask if we are hiring. Aren't Waco people the smartest?

This was a few weeks ago after all the good stuff was gone but before the sale started. This is the same shot as the first picture but the units are missing from the first.

And this is my team, the girls......Barbie, SheRa and Me......actually Corinne and Erin.

there are two others but they weren't there for picture time..... Petra and Jenny.

Let's once again play catch up.....

this is from a few weeks ago, as you can see Jack never slows down.

Their job was to tell Dave where the ball went......you must squat to do this.

Can you believe in a few short weeks she will be 7, where does the time go?

And the boy has almost completed the age of 3, with the year he has had I feel like he has earned moving on up to 5 but I am not ready for my baby to grow up.

What a difference a year makes

If you don't remember the picture from last year, Jack was crying.....please refer back to December 2007....now it's deer in the headlights.

Viv was my only helper with the Christmas tree


The kids in Temple Mall before going to see Santa.

Wonder why Dave has back problems

Jack with his Dr. Seuss hat

Don't know if you notice the little striped legs in the bathroom, I sat laughing at how hard my son worked to get a band aid. Jack first started out with a stool, the stool was too short so he put the bathroom scale on the stool. Then he took them both out of the bathroom and replaced them with a chair, standing on his tiptoes he still was too short so he grabbed a bigger chair. To make a long story short when he tried to stick the smaller chair on top of the bigger I thought maybe I should intervene instead of laughing and taking pictures.

Vacation

I have had a very uneventful vacation this week so far but I can report that my Christmas tree is up and looks beautiful, and I have read 4 books in a week .....that's not me.

Am I the Only One?

Today is my first day off this week and my kids still don't have costumes to wear tonight, granted they are Scooby and the Gang.

I was approached by a company to move to a store in Temple that does crazy volume, Christmas holiday would be insane and I would have even less free time than I already have. My question and what I have been praying about is, do I take it? It isn't the first time they have come to me but I can't imagine leaving my store right before the holiday. Please pray that I make the right decision.

My Hubby

I realize that I may not say enough things about what my hubby means to me. Dave is a strong person, he'd have to be to put up with my attitude. He is a provider, not lazy about work....he puts in his fair share of time. Dave is also very selfless when it comes to providing for us with not only needs but wants. I know that a day would not go by that Dave would not take care of us, it isn't in his nature to sit by and not work to provide for his family. In these tough times I am lucky to have someone like him for our kids. Not only does he support us and make sacrifices to make me happy, he acts as a jungle gym for our monkeys, he makes them laugh in only ways that he can. When I was pregnant with Jack every night when he came in if Viv woke up he would make her Mac & Cheese so I could sleep, I hadn't thought about that in a long time. I know from time to time he reads my blog so here is something that doesn't make him seem like a pansy but if it does too bad, only my family reads it. I love you

If We Were RICH

Vivian-Mommy I saw this carseat for my baby that I really wanted

Mommy-Well, Christmas is coming you could ask Santa for it

V-It was really expensive

M-Well, how much was it

V-$14.95

M-I think I could afford $14.95

V-Yeah, if we were RICH

Vivian Rides Again.....

Update on Jack

We are done at the doctor until the 15th of January. Jack is doing well, the stiff joints and legs are apparently normal and regular walking should resume in a few months. He still doesn't feel therapy is necessary although with my non medical degree I disagree with him. Jack is back to normal and even jumped off the bed the other night to celebrate being out of the cast....I wasn't home. Thank you for the prayers and thoughts for him over the last few months.

Jackson Walks

Jack is taking his first steps alone. I need to post it but for some reason I can't post any video at the moment. Stupid technology

Tiny Man

So excuse my mess, I work. Look what I caught Jack doing tonight.
