Back To Normal... (if that's possible..)

We had some friends from MI come and visit a couple week-ends ago! We had a BLAST!!!! Chris and Samantha came LATE Friday and stayed til Tuesday!! I wish they were able to stay longer, but plans are for them to come out again in July or Aug!!! :O) We went to the Grand Opening of PETLAND! The kids LOVED looking at all the cute little puppies!! (Of course asking when we could get one! But then Kotah answered herself and said when the kitties die we can get a puppy. I think she may have overheard us a couple of times with this discussion! We have 2 cats and said that we can't get a puppy until they pass away.) Then we went to go see the Veggie Tale, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything movie! It was sooo good!!! Yes, we all sat in the theater! Even Skylar! She LOVED it!! I watched her facial expressions most of the time! It was soo funny to watch her watch the movie!!! :O) If you haven't seen it, go see it!!! It is AWESOME!!!!!! And of course Chris brought his XBOX 360, so we played some fun games with that!!!! Stayed up way tooo late a couple of nites!! :O)

Going to try to get back on track with school work for Kotah. We've kinda slacked off for about a month. We've done some, but not enough! I guess that's the beauty of being home schooled, you never really "behind"!!! With being sick with the flu about a month ago, and now a cold, it's not fun! Trying to stay caught up on laundry and make sure the kids are eating, and giving the right medicine to the right kid with the right dose! Ugh... I am on a salad and fruit diet right now! Why do you ask? I am trying to "clean" myself out! I got some detox tea to help. ;o) I am tired of being sick and want to see if this helps. Okay, so I kinda cheated 2 nites in a row. I made some scalloped potatoes and pork chops with a corn casserole, I HAD to try it, I did, just a little though, and had a big salad with that, then the other nite I made tacos and it smelled really yummy, so I had one too. No salad. But right back on track again today. (Oh, did I mention I had either nothing to eat or all fruit the days I actually ate "real" food? ;o)) I had fruit for lunch today and nice big ol salad for supper tonite. ;o) After the 2nd day I was also craving some chocolate, not any chocolate, but the Edy's Girl Scout Thin Mint ice cream that's in our freezer! I did NOT give in to that though!!! :O) I also have some thin mints that I made in the freezer, and am happy to say that when Curt offered me one, I declined. (What is wrong with me? I DECLINED a THIN MINT?!?!?!?! LOL) So, I will be on this for a couple more days and see what happens.
Wish me luck!!! :O)
Oh yeah, I do have one can of pepsi a day. ;o)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

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&
