Happy Birthday!!!

Happy 28th Birthday babe!!!
I love you soo much!!!!!

Birthday shopping with the kids, wow... It was fun! We went last nite to Target to pick something out, we ended up going through the clothes to see if we could find anything, I am soooo glad we didn't go through the toy isle!! :O) Gavin saw a Turtle's shirt and HAD to get it, of course he thought it was for him... ;o) I explained that it was daddy's birthday tomorrow and it was for him. So he started singing happy birthday, then Dakotah interrupted him and said no Gavin, it is TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! So after some more walking through Dakotah found a Spider Man shirt that she wanted to get him, I was like are you sure? She said well, maybe he would like this green guy instead. (It was the Hulk) I said, you pick it out, I don't care! I was also glad they didn't have any BRIGHT pink shirts in there, or she would've picked that out, to match the fuzzy pink guitar strap. ;o) So she ended up picking the Spider Man shirt. Gavin was hugging the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt all throughout the shopping, still bound and determined it was HIS!!! We got through the rest of the shopping with out too much trouble, checked out then left. Got home and wrapped them real quick before Curt got back from band practice. Then today before lunch we let him open his presents. Dakotah gave him his, then it was Gavin's turn, but before Curt could even do anything, it was already opened by Gavin! (Kind of reminds of the year that I was pregnant with Gavin and Dakotah got me Disney's Scene It, she was watching Curt when he was wrapping it, so she knew what it was when he gave it to me to unwrap, she grabbed it and RAN to the other side of the room to open it herself! I was laughing soo hard and too fat and prego to do anything about it!!!! :O) ) He yelled out TURTLES!!!!!!!!!!!! Then he held it up to him, and I said, no, it is daddy's, so he handed it over. ;o) It sure is fun going shopping with the kids and letting them pick out their own presents to give, they are old enough where they can pick something out, with a little help! Can't wait to see what they will pick out for Christmas!!!! :O)
Well, I should get moving, need to finish the ice cream cake! Will take some pic's of it when I am done, I am already getting hungry for it!!! :O) (I sure hope it tastes ok!! I've never made one before!!!)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
