HUNTING

This past saturday was opening day rifle season and of course my husband called me at 8:30 am to tell me he killed a "BIG DEER". Of course i was thinkin okay prob a small 6 point, no he was much bigger than that. 12 POINT! and weighed out at 130lbs. the biggest deer michael has ever killed. He was so proud and printed a pic off the computer to show off to everyone. We are happy that his dad said he would pay to have it mounted so we will get it back in march and our meat will be ready in a few weeks. I am thankful that this year he has been taking all the deer to the processing place instead of cleaning it at home...it is too much of a mess. But this deer had been in the rut so he stunk from peeing all over himself.

Finally the day came!

After months and months of waiting i finally went and seen New Moon last night...twice! It was awesome just as i expected it to be. And i have to say Taylor Lautner is HOT! for a boy that is only 17. Now just to count down till June 10, 2010. New Moon followed the book quit a bit. I am not giving anymore details so you will have to see it your self!

Who Says Girls Can't Do It?

2009-08-31T15:43:00.001-07:00

This weekend I took a Auto Extrication class. And yes i was the only girl, which when you think about it is kind of scary because them guys don't think you can do it. But i spent 6 hours in full bunker gear, which we did get to take breaks but we had to keep our helmets and pants on. The class was alot of fun. i took it because i want to know what is going on when i am taking care of the patient.
these are just a few of the 200+ pictures a friend took for me.

That is me holding the jaws, i just got done cutting the car door off. Michael is the one in front of me holding the cords

Michael is on the left behind the guy holding jaws

Long time no see!

2009-08-15T18:56:00.001-07:00

It seems like i haven't blogged in a life time. I have been meaning to blog but things have just been so hectic with work and kids and home life. I am afraid i am addicted to facebook thats for sure. I forget everyday to read all my blogs i follow, it just seems like i never have the time lately.
i also have been doing some redecorating around the house too, i will definitly have to post pictures when i am done, right now i am working on my bedroom.

Bryers first day of kindergarden was thursday. The picture above is him in the car, we were running late so i took a quick snap of him in the car.
Well gotta run hope you all have a great weekend!

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!

2009-07-22T13:14:00.001-07:00

These were the zoo animals i took with me. We got there about 9:30 and stayed till about 3. It was a very long day with lots of walking.

We went and saw the elefphant demonstration. The other one that was there could make different noises on command. The one shown in the pic is Gunda, she is 59 human years old. They say she is in very good shape for being as old as she is.

My munchkins

These Rhinos were enjoying our nice cool July day

I just love this pic of this little turtle, he must love takin pictures cause it was like he would just pose for me.

The 2 little elefphants on the left hand side were visiting from another zoo, they are hoping that when they leave they will leave with 2 pregnant elefphants. The one on the right, Sneezy is 12,000 lbs male. He is huge!

Wordless Wednesday: Fourth of July Fun

Job update and request!

2009-07-01T20:45:00.000-07:00

It feels like i have not blogged in awhile but i have been readin up on everyone elses.
I have started my new job on the ambulance and have got to go on several calls. Last week i worked 60 hours and can you believe that i only did that in 4 days. Thats not that bad at all especially if it is something you love to do. We have had some slow times, so i get to catch up on blogs, facebook, and myspace and all my twilight sites i read. It seems like i have been goin and going constantly since i started back working. i love bein a working mom again. It really makes me feel good, i don't feel like i am stuck in the house all the time. The cool thing is hubby and the kids can come to work with me anytime and hang out they can even stay the night with me when i am workin night shift. It was scary my first call bein by myself in the back but it was like it all came back to me. Although i don't like all the paper work i have just like workin in the doctors office.

Well i have decided to start doing a little revampin to my house, especially my bedroom. i have went through the last couple of days and cleaned out all the clutter and furniture that was unnessary in there. Changed the bedding to brown and tan zebra print which looks great and got new curtains. I am trying to put some romance back in there. making it like our own little retreat where only we are allowed to be in there. and so far it feels all the same. sometimes i feel that there is just somethin missing, i don't know how to explain it though but i am sure it will get better.
My friend Jana had her baby on saturday. Last summer she had a little girl at 20 some weeks and lost her. She is 41 years old and has been trying forever to have a baby and has had no luck. She has a beautiful baby boy name Jackson. I am so happy for her cause she deserved it. So please pray her and her family that everything goes well for them.
My second request is about my father in law. Remember back in Febuary i told you he had a heart attack and all that, well now he has just taken a turn for the worse. He can't be left by himself and needs 24 hour care. He only 15% of his heart left and has to be on oxygen all the time. Well it looks like we will be putting him in a nursing home within a few days maybe if his social security will pay for it. It cost like $134 A DAY yes thats right i said a day! I know it will all work out. We thought about moving him into the house but with 2 kids i just don't think we will be able to handle it. I have faith that it will all work out.
Can you believe that it will be the fourth of july already. This year i am not playing softball, we have been playing church league softball all summer everyweek so we decided not to play this year. Plus last thursday at one our games i was running to second base and some reason fell on my left knee. I should have went to the doctor but didn't. I blacked out so all i remember is falling and then next thing i know it is hubby was picking me up and i was in tears. It hurts to bend my knee and i can't lean on that knee at all and it is bruised and swollen still alittle. It really hurts trying to get in and out of the ambulance. I hope everyone has a great 4th. Hopefully this weekend i will get a battery for my camera so i can take pics this saturday.

Have a great Holiday Everyone!

Calling all twilight lovers!!!!

2009-06-23T15:07:00.000-07:00

Here is the new book cover for New Moon....i don't think jacob should holding her although this is all about him and bella. Edward is still my fave.
I also heard that the new soundtrack will be coming out October 16, 2009. I can't wait to here what songs are on this one. I LOVE twilights soundtrack.

Happy Fathers Day

2009-06-21T11:32:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to say happy fathers day to all the fathers out there. We had hubbys dinner last night. i accidently fell asleep while they were doing all the grill stuff(hey i told him he should have woke me up). So i feel really bad considering he would not sleep in the bed last night and i have yet to talk to him today since i am sitting at work. Oh by the way i got my job. I started friday. My shift will be a 36 hour shift so i will only be paying a babysitter for 2 days and still have all week to spend with my family. Hopefully i will get in some more hours. I got a laptop yesterday so i could sit on the internet at work when i had nothing to do. Well hopefully hubby won't be too mad at me when i get home tonight. Today i am just working a 12 hour shift, which has been going by really really slow. So thanks for all the prayers for me to get my job.
HAVE A GREAT FATHERS DAY!!

I have alot of cop friends but this is out of control!

2009-06-18T11:56:00.000-07:00

Have any of you watched this yet? This is craziness.

Keep me in your prayers!

2009-06-18T11:45:00.000-07:00

I went for my first job interview in over a year with a small fire and ambulance service about 45 minuates away. It went very well for the most part, i decided to ride with them tommarrow just a 12 hour shift. Which hopefully will be busey. They average 200-250 calls a year and the majority of them are trauma and cardiac (ughh!!!). Since they are just a BLS unit compared to riding with a ALS unit every week, i will the medic in charge in the back doing everything. Which really really freaks me out! What happens if i freeze on my first cardiac arrest and i am in the back by myself!! Everybody tells me that i will do great and it will all come to me when i am in that moment. I always wanted to be the one in charge doing it all but when you come to that point it gets really scary cause if you do one thing wrong you could kill that person or hurt them at the least and then there goes your license. But i have to put more confidence in myself. Its just like when i started working in a doc office and the first time i was the nurse by myself no one there to guide me doing it all, it was scary but it just came to me like i was a natural lol. So hopefully i will know something next week, i am excited and ready to go be on the ambulance paid.

Yes...its true....

2009-06-14T20:41:00.001-07:00

I can not lie...i am in love with him lol. I feel like 15 again...the latest boyband fad....
I have read ALL 4 Twilight Saga books and even went and bought the movie+soundtrack!
I told my hubby that if this wickedly gorgous man was to ever ask me to marry me i could not say no lol! like that will ever happen:)

Everybody laughs at me at how big of a twilight fan i have become and it is sooo stinkin funny cause i have not been this into something in a long time. i read all the books in 3 days (they were all at least 600 pages long and the last one was 800). I can't wait till the second movie comes out, we are going to see it the day it comes out.

Somewhere you can get a twilight braclet online but i have yet to figure out where it is, if anyone knows please let me know!

But ohhh for now i can only dream...and keep watching the movie over and over until i have it memorized

Yep, i ordered it online at mardals.com on monday and got it this morning. i am sure i will have it memorized by the end of the day.

my new fave singer

2009-05-28T07:34:00.000-07:00

okay this was like the only good video i could find of her singing this song! i know what the heck, i found the music video on aol but not on youtube, oh well enjoy! if anybody knows where i can buy this cd please let me know cause i have searched!

Its been forever

2009-05-27T17:17:00.000-07:00

I have not blogged in a week and half. I have been soo completly busy with all this craft show stuff, i am in under my head (i think thats how they say it). If i am not at home working on items then we are at baseball/softball(yes i said softball me and michael are on the church team)/ridin the ambulance/or sleeping.
Our memorial day weekend was great! We sat around the pool and I sun bathed as the kids played. Everyday i have had friends children which is not any different than usual. I actually have not tanned i a tanning bed all year yet, i figured this year i will do it naturally with the sun. Although i have gotten very dark in the last week. Monday i went to my grandpa's side of the family reunion. Which was nice because i had never met any of them except my Great Aunt and Uncle. My cousin is a retired lawyer lives out on one of Oklahomas biggest and nicest lakes. He has a small yaht. So we went crusin the lake. Kennedy absolutly loved it. She loves the water anyway. Pictures to come soon, i am having camera issues.

Anyways....Did anyone watch Jon and Kate +8 Monday? Well i did today, i recorded and finally got to watch it today(i hardly ever watch tv only on monday nights when THE HILLS are on). I really feel bad for Kate. I know that must be hard having multiples and the divorce rate and then your whole marriage is in the tablods. She is kind of mean to Jon though.
I am looking forward to next weeks episode. And then next Monday night is the season final of THE HILLS, Lauren is leaving the show. I have watched it since it was Laguna Beach. I am a big Lauren Conrad fan.

Well i hope everyone had a great memorial day weekend.

They are out!!!!

2009-05-16T12:14:00.000-07:00

Yeah they are out but guess what? THEY STOLE ALL MY MONEY!!!!!!! YES I SAID STOLE ALL MY MONEY. i am so sooo soo mad right now, especially at myself for letting them do this to me. i should have listened to everyone when they said to make them leave. but i am such a nice person i tried helping. i will be damn if i ever do it again(excuse my language dana lol!) but what the heck, i keep asking myself why why did they do that. i have cried, thought of doing mean things to them but that is the old me. and as my son says "you don't trust in god if you do mean things". and that is right, it WILL come back to them and they WILL pay for it, not from me but from the big man upstairs. They stole money from me last week and stole from bryer and stole from my daughter. i am done, and i know it sounds mean very mean, but as long as i live i don't think i can ever talk to them and forgive them. you should always forgive and forget but some times it is just to dang hard. I know everything will work out till next payday, it always does. and what happens to you just makes you stronger of a person and you learn from your mistakes. I will just keep praying like i have done all day, i know i have yelled at god and i shouldn't but i guess sometimes i just think why why did it happen to me, i am a good person. and it is not gods fault, he doesn't make them do that. So i did ask for forgiveness. But i have calmed down now and going to start cleaning for our family cookout tommarrow.
thanks for listening yall

2009-05-12T19:58:00.000-07:00

These boys look pretty happy after loosing a game. We have alot of the younger kids on our Coach pitch team this year

Say A Prayer for the Freeman Family

2009-05-12T06:50:00.000-07:00

"And God will wipe away every tear from there eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed" Revelation 21:4

May the Freemans find peace in this time of grief, i could not imagine how hard it would be to loose a child and to have to go through what they went through the last 11 months. But God puts you through this for a reason, and you might not know what it is just yet but you find out. And at times when your going through something that is really hard on you and your family you ask him why why are you doing this? Well everything makes you a better person.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

2009-05-10T06:44:00.000-07:00

Happy mothers day to all you mothers out there. Make sure you guys don't do anything today, soak up this day its for you.

Show Us Where You Live Fridays-Living Room Edition

2009-05-08T06:25:00.001-07:00

have you ever checked out Kelly,
well she is having a home tour, so i thought i would join in. make sure you go check out her blog

this is looking in from my hall way, i have a ugly looking tv stang and then a shelf next to it, we bought our tv last year when we bought our house and just never have had the money to get a stand.
Our furniture is the kind that you can spill stuff on it and it cleans up great, keeps the stains away. as you can tell i don't have that much decor. i like to go to yard sales and find stuff instead of having to spend tons of money at department stores. my rug i got from kmart, it was my mothers day present to myself!

i love this little cabnit, its great to hold blankets and games that kennedy can play with, i love the old antique look.

this is looking in from my dining room, on each side of the big window i have a collage frame for each of the kids, when i repainted the living room and hall way i said i wasn't going to put curtains up just the blinds, but i think i am going to get some fabric and make some light colored tan maybe floral type of curtains, something that will make the window stand out.
y
i absolutly love this food placemat for dogs, i bought it at petsmart

my new sweet edition to our family, our maltese name Maddie, she was rescued from a puppy mill that was horrible to her, when the family i got her from brought her home she could barely walk.

i bought this thing at kmart and took all the pictures that is in it, i still need to add a bunch

my little wall mural of my man

this is our hallway, i have all of kennedys toys in it because having an extra dresser in her bedroom along with a toddler bed plus a full size bed, there is barely any room. her room was crammed full of toys and i got them down to just a few bins

Love this lamp? I bought it at a yard sale for $2!!!

this is our messy area, sorry for the bright jacket, i took these pictures this morning after i went on a call.

my hubbys hole, he absolutly loves this chair, it is like the size of a love seat, as you can see my little shelf to the left is bare, i really just don't know what to put on it

if you don't have a potato box, you odd to get one they are so great, i bought my at a yard sale for just $5. can you tell i love to garage sale

Since i forgot about the home tour last week i thought i would throw in a few pictures of my kitchen.

2 of my fave little ones, i have this sweet picture hanging on my fridge

my china cabnit that was my grandparents with all my different collectiables

looking into the dining room from the kitchen

this is one view of my kitchen, it is very small

i love the color, this is one of the only rooms we did not repaint, on top of my cabnits it have baskets with fake vine, it looks so pretty

if you guys have any ideas for me please let me know, i know the paint is really dark, but we had painted it a tan color and it got so dirty it looked horrible, i love this deep brown, it really makes it feel warm i just need to put alittle color in it

Just had to share something special

2009-04-09T06:33:00.000-07:00

I was actually going to post this last night but never was able to get around to it.
Last night we had the easter egg hunt at church and bryer was more than happy to go to the age group above his class on accident, but he didn't want to leave.
Well last night we talked about when Jesus washed his disciples feet. How he served them. The preacher talked about how now it only takes a person with something very special in there heart. Most people think that is dirty, ugly to go and wash peoples feet in honor.
Sitting there i thought back to Falls Creek about 15 years ago when Brother John White was still alive. You may all have heard of him because his Wife and the youngest of 5 of his 10 kids were on Extreme makeover home edition in Dewey Oklahoma. He died in 2005 from a massive heart attack at the First Baptist Church Family Workout Center. He was a amazing man, i could listen to him talk all day.
Well back around 15 years ago or so we were at Falls Creek and they were talking about the same thing as The Preacher was talking about last night. Brother John washed everyones feet. He did not think it was ugly or dirty. He did it just as a servant for his lord. It didn't matter that some of the kids feet smelled horrible, he did it just as Jesus did. Isn't that amazing.

"Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded himself." JOHN 13:3

"After that, He poured water into a basin and began to was the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded." JOHN 13:5

Simon Peter wondered why Jesus would wash his feet. And he asked him
"Lord why are you washing my feet?" john 13:6

"Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." john 13:7

Jesus did this so that we would be apart of him. He knew after this last supper he was going to be with his father.

Bryer dale is so stinkin smart. On the way home last night this was our conversation.

Bryer: "mom you know why Jesus died?"

Me:"Yeah, why do you think he died?"

Bryer:"He died for you, me and everyone in the whole wide world. Because of our sins"

Me: "do you know what sins are?"

Bryer:" Yeah they are some bad stuff, Jesus and God are really powerful and control everything in the world. He even controls lighting, "

Me:"You know he heals sick people just like he healed your papa and Cousin Reni"

Bryer:" How did he heal them, i never saw them heal them"

Me:"Well you really can't see him heal them"

Bryer:" No we can see him, he is everywhere, the clouds the sky and even the clouds when they are all broken up"

It is so amazing how kids just listen and know all these things. I am still learning and trying to understand all of it.

I have been praying about, i know it will be better but uhhhh!!!
thanks for all listening

Changing my life and witnessing

2009-04-06T14:20:00.000-07:00

I am trying to change my life around, going to church and becoming a child of god again. When i was younger i was always there from the time it opened to the time it closed. Somehow through out the years i have fallen away from that. So with this being the week of Easter and me having 8 people in my house and trying to feed them all. I thought i would do alittle witnessing.
I took my sister, niece and boyfriend in 2 weeks ago. Anybody who has ever stayed with relatives or has had them stay with you knows that it is very hard. They were homeless and had absolute no place to go. So i did take them in. I do sometimes think what did i get myself into. Taking her back and forth to work when i don't even really have the money.

"But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him; and he received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of god, and healed those who had need of healing. When the day began to wear away; the twelve came and said to him, "send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."
But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said "we have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people." For there were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples "make them sit down in groups of fifty."
and they did so, and made them all sit down.
then he took the five loave and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.
Luke 9:10-17

Just as god showed his disciples, he has shown me that in all of this we will have enough no matter how much we worry.

WHAT A HOUSE FULL!

2009-04-04T16:39:00.000-07:00

Yes we have a house full. And i have quickly realized my house is small, small kitchen, small dining room, small everything. Trying to make extra room for everything that i possibly can.

Dressing in the Recession Era

2009-03-12T07:33:00.000-07:00

kelly over at posted yesterday about how to dress for cheap. so i thought i would do a post to. i absoultly love clothes and shoes, and love to shop. The bad thing is my daughter is addicted to shoes too. When i shop i try to stay cheap as much as i can (1) because there is only one of us working (2) i love to spend money on clothes not only for myself but love to buy clothes for my kids.
One place i buy my clothes at is American Eagle, and i usually go online to find the things i like. You can find jeans like the real flare and orginal 77 jeans for just $19.95. You can also find tops for just $10
Another place i love to go is walmart. although i do not like there jeans because they don't fit right on me i do like several of there shirts. I love to dress in dark colors like dark blue, black and gray. i have always been that way although i am not gothic. i love to dress different but also be concervative because i am a mother of two.
Now when i go to buy clothes for the kids, walmart-gap kids-oldnavy is the places to go. When i went to buy my son school clothes for the year i went to oldnavy and corral west (he likes tight jean-wranglers) and spent $100 dollars and got 2 pairs of jeans at oldnavy and 2 pairs of wranglers at corral west. 5 tshirts and 2 sweatshirts at oldnavy which were all on clearance and a pair of vans shoes at shoe carnival all which i remind you were under $100 total.
I shop clearance racks heavy and i also love to go to consignment shops like goodwill. If you have the time, you can go through each of them racks and find you some nice stuff and some stuff is 50% off.
Now when i go looking for stuff for my daughter i love to go to walmart. they have such cute stuff for little girls. my daughter is so small and doesn't grow very fast so most of the stuff she wore the year before she can wear again the next summer/fall season. Recently i started getting on ebay after going through her stuff and realized she has hit a small growth spirt. I ordered 11 pieces of the summer clothing for $1.99 with like $5 shipping and handling. If you go through there you can find all sorts of stuff like that.

2009-02-26T10:52:00.000-08:00

Last night i went to church and watched this wonderful movie. Not knowing exactly what it was about. I cried through it, it was just like my life and our marriage problems that we have had. We are going to buy the book. If you have not seen it then get it. I was always told that you can not have a marriage without god and i really did not know that meaning until last night.

NOT ME MONDAY

2009-02-16T07:14:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week will be alittle short.

I did not bring equipment home from the firedepartment so i could study my practical skills for my test tonight.

I did not break open every chocolate in the box of chocolates that my hubby gave me for valentines day only to find out they were only the same.

I did not let my hubby, step dad, and son make my front yard a dirt bike track.

I did not find my check card laying on the side of the road in the town next to ours(well hubby actually found it while he was reading meters)

I did not just leave 5 no 6 loads of laundry in baskets by my chair because i was tired of folding for a while.

I did not win $34 at bingo friday night.

I did not go and freeze my butt off yesterday and watched the guys practice football.

I am not going to have a birthday party in a couple weeks when her birthday was actually january 1st

Just another day

2009-02-14T07:21:00.000-08:00

I have not blogged in a week, so much has went on that when i get home from the hospital i go to bed. I think i have 5 more loads of laundry to do, i have done about 3-4 every night. Well my father-in-law is doing somewhat better. Yesterday they did a heart cath and found no blockage but he does have congestive heart failure(chf) and its not cureable. Usually you die from complications that arise from that like not being able to breathe and what. But he is not himself, if he makes it out of the hospital he will most likley need 24 hour care. We will not put him in a nursing home what so ever. He is still really working to breathe, which he has COPD, which we think is why he had the heart attack since his heart or brain was not getting enough oxygen. Just putting to much stress on his heart.
I thought i would share the story of last sunday because he was indeed very lucky.
For that last week he had really not been himself, telling us we would all miss him when hes gone. Well sunday he was having trouble breathing, breaking out in sweat. They put his oxygen on him and turned it up to 5 and still it was helping. Then about 2 hours later he stuck his head in the freezer door, when his girlfriend asked him what he was doing he looked at her and his lips were black. He was going into respiratory failure, usually you will just get cynosis but he hadn't got good O2 for a while. Well they loaded up and he finally agreeded to go the hospital. All the way there he was really trying to breathe. She pulled up to the ER entrence and they brought out a wheel chair and took him inside and then she went and parked the car. When she came back she no more said "im here honey bunch" and thats when it hit. he jumped about 2 feet out of the wheelchair, eyes rolled in the back of his head and he stiffened up just as you would a seizure. They rushed him back there and worked on him for about 15minuates. His heart went into asysotle, which is usually a rrthym of he heart that is not one they can get the person back. Somehow they did. put him on a ventalator and sent him to ccu. If it wasn't for being at the hospital he would have died, everything was timed perfect. Although he never wanted to be shocked or put on a ventalator.
Me and michael were in owasso at his football practice and finally my step-dad called us and nobody else had tried. so we hauled butt to bartlesville, which is a good 45min but i made it in 15 min prob lol.

He does have some brain damage that you can tell already, he raises his hands up and doesn't even know that he is doing it. He will ask where he is at and he also said that it was january 19, 1999. He is very slow and his right hand is drawn up. He reminds me alot of my grandpa when he had his massive heart attack and then ended up with dementia from brain damage.

I have to say we have some really great friend, people have babysat for us since we spend all day at the hospital and hubby took the whole week off. Everybody calls on the hour it seems like.
Well i am going, got to get ready to go to the hospital and sit with him while his wife goes to eat with her kids. We can't leave him alone cause he tries to get up.
I ll try to update more
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

please pray

2009-02-08T18:28:00.000-08:00

today my father in law had a massive heartattack, he is not good, hes in icu, i can home for a few things and i am going back to the hospital. Please pray for our family

Happy Birthday Bryer

2009-02-02T20:19:00.000-08:00

FIRST OF ALL PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND TAKE A LOOK AT MY GIVEAWAY

My dear sweet baby boy(well not such a baby anymore), today is his 5th birthday. Seems like it was just yesterday i was in the hospital fixing to have him. I can't believe that he actually is 5. I don't know if i had told you guys but i had bryer when i was 16, just a junior in high school. Even though i was so young, i do not regret one minuate of it. My mom had given me up to DHS because i would not go and have a abortion or sell him to some people that would have given her money. No, how could of i have done that.
He is the most sweetest little boy you would ever meet. And was always so good as a baby. I remember wanting to cry his first day of PRE-K, especially the day he told me that i did not need to walk him inside that he can go by himself. As i watched him walk down the sidewalk into the school my eyes filled up with tears. Seeing him as a little young man.

Although he had his up and downs when he was alittle younger, like when i was 71/2 months pregnant with his sister and as we are driving down the highway he was throwing a fit and undid his car seat and bit my hand and would not let go of it. He was still just a precious little boy still growing.

And now look at him, riding a dirt bike and playing video games.

My little boy is still a baby in my eyes.

Playing in the snow/ice

2009-01-29T06:12:00.001-08:00

The last few days have been crazy, it sounded like it has hailing but it was just the freezing rain hitting up against the windows. I can not wait till it starts to dry up.Yesterday it started melting but it just refreezed last night. I need to go today and pay bills so we are just waiting till it warms up that way the roads are not to bad. Yesterday they decided on playing in the snow a different way. WITH DIRTBIKES! I have a video of my husband jumping the ditch but i will put that on later. My yard is going to be torn up when it is all said and done.

ICE STORM 09

2009-01-26T14:38:00.001-08:00

Since about noon we have gotten nothing but freezing rain. The highway is so bad that everyone is wrecking even if you only go only 5 to 10mph.
This is supposed to go on till wednesday 6am.

This is what we are doing today where it is warm

Poor Buster likes to stay outside most of the time and he has stayed inside all day only going out once.

my car can you see the ice

our front porch steps and sidewalk is just a pure layer ice

ICE STORM IS COMING!!

2009-01-25T19:59:00.000-08:00

Yep thats right we are supposed to get another ice storm tommarrow starting around noon. I am really hoping i don't get school tommarrow night cause i am not ready for my assessment tests, but i do want to get it over with.
Well saturday we went to increidable pizza for our nephews birthday party. Here are a few pictures. I didn't take any of the kids playing games cause little miss kennedy kept running off from me.

this is reni rose

kennedy eating a cupcake

bryer is so funny

the boy to the right was the birthday boy and the little girl standing in front of the table was my SIL s brothers daughter and then my sister in law is the one next to her.

Today was a lazy day, we stayed home all day. I am really lucky to have a son like bryer, he is so sweet. He helped me today by sweeping the kitchen and dining room, picking up the laundry room, vacuming the living room, and straightening up the cabnits(i really don't know why he did that but he was on a roll). He told me he just wanted to make me happy. Cause i do get kinda grippy when the house is destroyed and around here i really mean destroyed. i think i have OCD on cleaning cause i can not sleep if it is mess. But it was nice.
Michael spent most of the day at football practice for the big game fire/ems vs police. its coming up in march and is going to be held in collinsville this year on the turf. it will be lots of fun, i am helping with it again this year i just really hope it is not as cold as it was last year. I will give you more details on it later so if you leave around here and want to come. All the benefits go to CANCER SUCKS, which goes towards caner research. Last year we got to go to a Tulsa Talons football game and give the $5,000 check we raised from the football game to cancer research. This year is extra special cause we lost a best friend to cancer back in may. Michael is going to be sore from practice but it all worth it in the end.

CONGRATS SOLOMON

2009-01-23T20:59:00.000-08:00

Our friend, one of the town cops just had a baby today 6lbs 13oz, i havn't got to see him yet. We were going to but michael could not find his licence so we spent most of the night looking for it. Then we decided to meet up with some friends at chili's but once we all got there they got paged out for a large grass fire so me and my other friend just stayed there and ate while our husbands went. Then i ended up going out to the fire to take michael some food. I told him guess you don't know very many girls that will wear heels on a grass fire lol. i didn't take any pics of the guys this time because it was dark and they were all down in a valley.

I AM DEF SICK

2009-01-19T16:40:00.000-08:00

my body hurts so bad, i have a huge sinus infection and i think my nose is raw from blowing it so much. The sinus medication that i am taking is really not working. I guess that prob means i need to go to the doctor. The last time i felt this bad i had a pnuemonia and could hardly breath. Luckly tonight we did not have school, no i did not show up to find out:) Now my throat is hurting. I have slept since 2:00 today and just woke up about 20mins ago. Luckily Michael was home today cause i don't know what i would have done.
Have a great evening

my journey

2009-01-19T08:16:00.000-08:00

make sure to check out my new blog and follow me on my journey to loose weight

Okay so its 11:30pm and i can't sleep

2009-01-18T21:32:00.000-08:00

must of been the daytime sinus med i took like 8hours ago, i get bad reactions to medications for allergys and sinuses
so this is my new hair cut, i really don't like it, it is actually alot shorter than what it was when i cut like 2 months ago

Here is another picture of me, we had friends over last night, i have realized that i have gained some weight. I try so hard to lose weight and i just can't. Starting tommarrow it is going to be no pop, my kidney really need a flushing before i get another stone. i hardly ever take pictures of myself because i take horrible pics and can you see i have a double chin, holy crap i don't know what i am going to do. if anybody has any good diet tricks please let me know because i need to lose at least 45lbs before summertime. especially if i want to go to the lake!
That is something i odd to start doing is posting about me going on a diet, maybe that might help get it off.

Sunday Tips

2009-01-18T13:00:00.000-08:00

Here is a tip for any of you crafty people out there. If you have tons of spools of ribbon and don't know what to do with it check this out. Go to walmart buy a little basket $2.00 and a small dowl rod and just put it all together. I have to of them and its beats paying $10 for a ribbon holder at walmart.

I have taught her well

2009-01-13T08:20:00.000-08:00

She is learning early. Dont look at my carpet, it is so badly stained and can you believe it supposed to be white. It was like that when we bought it. We plan on putting in hardwood floors in march(thank goodness), i try everything in the world to keep it clean, i shampoo everymonth sometimes twice and it still gets dirty.

We about got attacked by the geese and ducks at one park and ended up going to a different one. Poor kennedy would not even get out of the car she was screaming and crying. it was pretty scary, i ended up jumping in the back seat cause they started coming at me when i was getting her out of the car.

I didn't tell you we have mice here. I absolutly hate mice!! The good thing is we have killed 4 in the last 24 hours. I thought that was all of them, well just a few minuates ago i saw a little head peeking out underneth my dishwasher. Guess we still have some. Them stinkin mouse traps really work! I think im gonna get me a cat!

Happy Saturday!

2009-01-10T12:50:00.000-08:00

hello, i am still very tired from yesterday. man that can wear you out. It was so crazy it seemed like we would go on one and then two more would page and then you go on the next one and two more would get paged. you would have thought that it was a full moon!
But i got to see and do alot of neat things, thats all that matters.
ANYWAYS bryer got his motorcycle this morning, it was so cute he had tears in his eyes!
They had already went yesterday and put a sign on it saying "bryer this is yours". we got pictures but my cord for my computer is not working(great!). He has been riding all day and has not crashed it yet, which is suprising for me cause they ended up not getting the training wheels.
so as soon as i get my cord working i will post pictures of him and the video i shot of him seeing the bike for the first time.

SUCH A CRAZY DAY!!!

2009-01-09T19:38:00.000-08:00

i finally got a new cord today, here are some hairbows i have been working on, i have different ones but these are my fave,

This was Bryers first Christmas Program. its hard to hear them so you will have to turn your speakers up. He is in the back and you can't really see him. But they are so adorable. The little girl in the front that is in the red and black dress is Lauren

Burr its cold outside

2009-01-04T08:30:00.000-08:00

what happened to the weather here. yesterday it was 75 and today its like 30 i guess thats oklahoma weather for you. well today i plan on cleaning my daughters room it is such a mess and she has so many toys she doesn't not play with and clothes hanging up that are way to small. Hopefully i will find the cord for my camera or better yet i may just go get a new one. Well enjoy the day!

Merry Christmas and Happy late New Year

2009-01-03T06:50:00.000-08:00

I figured i have not blogged in a while that i would. We had a good christmas, bryer got a wii so thats all you ever see on the tv. Kennedy got a barbie jeep and i got a sewing machine. Ihave yet to use it though because i can not get it threaded. I have been making hairbow nonstop and i have a new thing birpcloths. Kennedy turned 2 on 1-1-09, we didn't give here a big party just some family but she was happy to have her hannah montana cake. well hopefully once i find the cord to plug my camera into the computer.

UPDATE

I found these pics on my computer that i have taken and played with them in photoshop so thought i would share

Hello Everybody

2008-12-06T16:47:00.000-08:00

sorry for not blogging for so long, it has been a kinda sad last few weeks, november 18th i lost my job. they told me that they did not want me to come back, which i was devastated because nobody had told me anything and was never written up. but the good thing is i am now a stay at home mom and i get to spend all my time with my kids and husband. me and him have been having some rough times in our relationship but we are working through it all. i am getting my unemployement (well still waiting the hospital has not approved it yet). then i decided it is a good way to try to launch my little business i started and finish school. the only thing is that i really wish they could have just fired me after christmas but i guess thats what happens in life.
i did my last emt clinical for the hospital and now i just have to go ride the ambulance for 2 days. i probably will not be writing a whole lot on here but i will check in as much as possible and update you
hope you all had a great thanksgiving and if i don't talk before christmas hope you have a great christmas

Looking Back 3years ago today

2008-11-17T14:24:00.000-08:00

For the ones that know me well, you know that today is the day 3 years ago my dad passed at 11:45pm. My step-sister passed on the 14th 3 years ago. This time of the year i get really sad, but it has gotten better, considering i go to counciling once a week. And i still have nightmares every once in a while of that night. But i have learned that life does go on, and though they are not here, they are still with me and my family in our hearts. Bryer still looks at the sky and says his papa is up there, though he was just a baby when my dad died, he remembers him. Kids see and know things that us adults don't see and know. That is what is so amazing about children. Though my dad was not there for ms K i believe he was watching and was right there with her. I know some people don't believe that kinds of stuff but i do and i am not afraid to say it.
There are days that are going to be hard for everybody, but at the end of the day it will all be okay no matter what. and you might think why is all of this happening to me? everything happens for a reason, god will not put you through something that he knows you will not be able to get through.
I went to Kansas, Oklahoma this weekend to put the flowers on his grave and it saddened me, nobody had been there in a while, wilted flowers. I decorated it up for thanksgiving, making sure it was sure to stand out. I am a big decorater and i know it might sound stupid to decorate a grave for thanksgiving but it really makes me feel like he is having a thanksgiving to. I have not talked to my ex-step mom since november of last year, but it shows she moved on and doesn't want to put flowers on there anymore.

This song below was sung at my dads funeral the day before thanksgiving 3 years ago. so it means alot to me.

I know your life on earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
(Chorus)
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'Love for the Father and the Son

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered 'round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Repeat
(Chorus)
Go to heaven a shoutin'Love for the Father and the Son

They have been found

2008-11-13T06:48:00.000-08:00

They were found yesterday afternoon. They got stuck just after shooting a deer and were trying to leave. I guess it was sleeting and snowing. Luckly they let the truck idol all night so they kept warm.
I have not put any pics of the holiday hair bow and new bags i have made because somehow the pics are not on my camera card anymore but i will have that fixed soon hopefully.
thank you for all the prayers of my two friends

Election Day!!

2008-11-04T07:44:00.000-08:00

hello, happy election day! i can not wait to find out who is going to win tonights.
well last week was a long week and so i am hoping that this week will be alot better.Poor ms kennedy has been tortured to the fullest. having to go to the doctor everyday and have the infection squeezed out of her leg. But she went to the doctor yesterday and he said she doesn't have to go back unless it gets bad. But the swelling went down and she can walk and run again. It was kinda nice having her just sitting on the couch but i also had to right at her side cause she would call my name every 5 minuates to get her something. she is so spoiled, she got new dora crocs(cause her foot would not fit into anything) and a new baby doll. she felt like it was christmas. poor bryer, he was kinda going through a little jealousy because she was getting all the attention.
well gotta get back to work
make sure to vote!

Worst Week Ever

2008-10-30T07:42:00.000-07:00

hey, this week has been a horrible horrible week. Friday night i started passing a kidney stone. I was out all week until today. Tuesday night i had to go to ER because my kidney doc was out of town so the one covering for him said since i was vomiting and nausea. But they did a CT scan tuesday night and it showed i got it passes and also that i have a blockage in my colon AGAIN! and i have a bladder infection.
Then get this yesterday i noticed a black spot on Kennedys calf. well i didn't think anything about it. well she woke up from her nap screaming in pain and would not move her right leg, she would not even walk. Come to find out she got bit by a brown reclus, and i am pretty sure it was a brown reclus cause i killed 3 of them in her room. So we were in the ER again last night. But the nice thing was they got us right in and the doc followed us in. I get kind of scared when it comes to spider bites because a few years back i almost died because of a brown reclus bite, i was hospitlized for a week. My bite was on my neck right next to my juglar vein and trachea, so i shut my breathing off. So hopefully today will be better.

Hey!!!

2008-10-23T11:56:00.000-07:00

i havn't had anything to blog about the last couple of days. hopefully soon i will have pics of my cute little niece on here. Tommarrow i go and take my Certified Medical Assistant exam. Please pray for me, it costs $100 to take this test and they only give it 2 times a year. plus if you fail it you still have to pay to take it again. I will be coming out with some seasonal items on Diva Bags and Gifts, so make sure you check in within the next couple of weeks. Remember these bags make great gifts especially for birthday!!
and if you have a certain idea you would like just email me and i can do it

Happy Tuesday!!

2008-10-21T06:59:00.000-07:00

I have had a long last couple of days, michael and bryer were sick yesterday and still are today. Then my sister and niece were down this weekend and so it was crazy the last couple days.
I had my first parent teacher confrence yesterday morning, he got an excellant comment. She said he can write his name and anytime she asks him to do something he will always do it. He is also one of the oldest in the class. Which i am so glad that he is doing great cause thats all i need is to be called into the office for him.
Every since his sister was born he has calmed down alot, and almost always if i tell him to do something he will do it.
Make sure to check out my bag and gifts site, i will be adding some seasonal items soon and remember the bags make great gifts.

2008-10-16T07:36:00.000-07:00

I do have a question for all of you organized people. I don't have a craft room so all of my stuff is just piled in my room. if you can give me any ideas on how to organize it all i would appreciate it.
