So here is what happened... anyone who has had the chance to be around Crew would agree that he was not a happy baby. He cried, a lot! This was something Jacob and I have been used to because my three other children were babies that cried all the time too. So when my fourth baby turned out to be colic, not a big surprise. But the crying never stopped, at times seemed worse. The thing was that he would stop crying when he was held, so thats were Crew lived, on my hip! From time to time he would play and smile, but not very often. On top of this Crew seemed to be sick a lot. He threw up a lot, usually he had fevers when this happened, he seemed to be going to the doctors every 2, maybe 3, weeks. He was not crawling and his legs were always locked stiff straight at the knee, toes pointed. This became a concern and so we then saw a neurologist. Crew was diagnosed as being developmentally delayed. He had a MRI appointment for this coming Tuesday just to rule out the 1% of any thing being wrong, as the neurologist put it. That pretty much sums up everything until last Sunday. Crew started throwing up again, actually in the middle of church all over Jacob(hahaha, that part is just a little funny), but then stopped by the afternoon. He ate and slept normal that night, so we started to think maybe he is just having a hard time tolerating milk. I thought this because he seemed to just randomly throw up and it was ever since he switched over to whole milk. By Monday night he was throwing up again, not keeping anything down, but still no fever. Tuesday morning I call to get him into the doctor, again, and got a appointment with another doctor in the office because I wanted the soonest I could get. I knew something was wrong, he just wasn't right, so I even called the nurse hot line right after making his appointment to see if I should take him into the ER now. He looked really dehydrated, and already going through that experience with Shelby once before I knew the signs and I knew once hydrated you have a much happier kid. The nurse thought I would be fine waiting till 9:00, so thats when I took him to the doctor. Crew kept 1 ounce of Pedilite down for a half hour in the office so he felt I was okay to go home. I was told to not let him sleep longer than 1 hour and to keep pushing fluids down him. By now Crew was even more sleepy and it was harder to get him to respond, but the doctor felt he would be fine but to go to the ER if he threw up again after drinking more. I went home, uneasy, and I couldn't get anything down him, he threw up a small amount and thats when I knew he needed more than liquids. I thought lets just get him hydrated and he will feel much better. I got my other three kids off in different directions, called Jacob and let him know that I was taking Crew to the ER and off we went. After waiting 2 hours, it was our turn to be seen. The ER doctor came in and questioned why he was having a MRI the following week. He let me know he worked "worse case scenario" down and wanted to do a CT scan because he thought it was weird that he was throwing up and had no fever. So after the CT scan the news I got was shocking to me. The doctor came in and said, "I know why your son is throwing up, he has a unbelievable amount of fluid that is putting to much pressure on his brain. I called a great pediatric neuro surgeon, they are getting everything prepared for you, a ambulance is coming to pick you up, your baby has to have surgery tonight." I was shocked and scared, although those words don't even begin to explain my feelings. I called Jacob and told him to get here now, the crazy thing was Jacob had a bad feeling about Crew and had planed to leave work early so had already made plans for his work, and then he was off fighting traffic to get to us. The ambulance ride was what it was, they had to keep waking Crew up every 10 to 15 minutes to make sure they could get a response from him, we made it to the hospital in LA in no time at all, odd we hit no traffic on a Tuesday evening, maybe it was like 6 o'clock...Crew was off to surgery right away, they had to put a drain in his head to relieve the pressure before there was anytime to do a MRI and see what the problem was. This is Jacob saying by to Crew right before his first surgery.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJu5imG8l2vtns_lq1rIiiLwCosiCpOjJGPfk5rjCVd1uIaSaFgvv9vi4NDE95YJ83BeSoJQjibZ_AZkPkwO1tTUkm34zqMectMLkUqaMqNVtBFKqAdNFKh8EVnmBedA_dFqjYpwHVlwu/s1600/2012-03-13_20.39.48.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhJu5imG8l2vtns_lq1rIiiLwCosiCpOjJGPfk5rjCVd1uIaSaFgvv9vi4NDE95YJ83BeSoJQjibZ_AZkPkwO1tTUkm34zqMectMLkUqaMqNVtBFKqAdNFKh8EVnmBedA_dFqjYpwHVlwu/s320/2012-03-13_20.39.48.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721676363544244962" /></a><br />After his MRI everything looked good, they kept his breathing tubes in but had to wake him up between surgeries to make sure he would have no complications. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV5iAZRvmal51GDppXmk35LeVbg6tqtewKPAHfDehOqDwOkBpvyw7WPPeNEQj6ZswvaTiAk80dYhKLQpNBC6dqogX-NkQiist618VYYfcVXJxD6WBPB89FdoLzpeWJwGezUpOM4TnsFuJS/s1600/2012-03-14_01.15.16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV5iAZRvmal51GDppXmk35LeVbg6tqtewKPAHfDehOqDwOkBpvyw7WPPeNEQj6ZswvaTiAk80dYhKLQpNBC6dqogX-NkQiist618VYYfcVXJxD6WBPB89FdoLzpeWJwGezUpOM4TnsFuJS/s320/2012-03-14_01.15.16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721676210373742466" /></a><br />The second surgery was to place a shunt that will drain his fluid to his stomach to be absorbed there.

We did come close to loosing our baby, and that part still scares me to death! But the thing I wanted to share with everyone was during all these emotions, when I would focus on saying a prayer for my baby, I did have a calm feeling come over me, although it was brief, when ever I would calm myself down enough I would feel it. My sister kept everyone posted on Facebook and asked for prayers. Jacob and I both sent out text to friends and family asking (begging) for everyone, anyone who had faith to pray that our baby would get through this. I know that Heavenly Father heard all the prayers that were just for Crew. I also know that Crew was not the only person being prayed for at that time, the world is big and He hears and answers everyones prayers, but there was a moment when I felt so close to God, I felt that Crew was the only one on His mind, and I know that He was very aware of my baby. So thank you. Thank you to everyone who had enough faith to pray for Crew. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and hearts. I do have a testimony that prayer is one of the most powerful gifts Heavenly Father has given all His children. And the more prayers being made the more powerful they can be. Jacob and I both got comfort during this time from everyones support and kindness. Thank you for loving Crew and my family enough to pray for us. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAec3AFMd8BM-t-NvRHyylhe3C3hJ9dzfXxu0uAAtgbIv-y2IvL8FK6qvZWJKP_glgyAe62TYnkzP0qPBJ5LIo8Z_TqfN5wiln7guaxzy-CPU7bk-mOeNSKPIA_BGy1BNhKFpQFf534s0_/s1600/IMG_1345.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAec3AFMd8BM-t-NvRHyylhe3C3hJ9dzfXxu0uAAtgbIv-y2IvL8FK6qvZWJKP_glgyAe62TYnkzP0qPBJ5LIo8Z_TqfN5wiln7guaxzy-CPU7bk-mOeNSKPIA_BGy1BNhKFpQFf534s0_/s320/IMG_1345.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721675667284183362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvLhxfiemvvBXif_wb15GIgU02mKEGa9WFyWUxzo4gR46NCptOsG7Cruy6-hfg9AXz1_BXeBHwbHD_njv8kb3qBdMZl-_DJpIxlMreKSW961QEsbGxvrVsXIo65YSAKWL5SB1c8DPtIDX/s1600/IMG_1357.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvLhxfiemvvBXif_wb15GIgU02mKEGa9WFyWUxzo4gR46NCptOsG7Cruy6-hfg9AXz1_BXeBHwbHD_njv8kb3qBdMZl-_DJpIxlMreKSW961QEsbGxvrVsXIo65YSAKWL5SB1c8DPtIDX/s320/IMG_1357.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721675662507133666" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioucHIeGacFXdnq15CMTfrbLAc41NW673e6TTa9X7yspjJAFC5S33yRZ_-5UYBDVO5RCStpwPnk189Ngq8xUKKJMchGP70XLnCpvfkB_jlCthk3VNgGxe3Rn8WXxs0b8rW0PVvUEGQ7QOu/s1600/IMG_1360.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioucHIeGacFXdnq15CMTfrbLAc41NW673e6TTa9X7yspjJAFC5S33yRZ_-5UYBDVO5RCStpwPnk189Ngq8xUKKJMchGP70XLnCpvfkB_jlCthk3VNgGxe3Rn8WXxs0b8rW0PVvUEGQ7QOu/s320/IMG_1360.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721675653213236002" /></a><br />As of now Crew is doing great.

Life is crazy busy with 4 kids...do I need to say more? So here is what I am going to do, the thought of catching up, well it just isn't going to happen, so I am going to just start now and here and there I will flashback to some important events ( like Crew being born) later when I have time. The most recent event was going camping. Yep camping with 4 kiddos was not at all relaxing, it was work! We had a lot of fun, and the kids had a great time so what if I came home exhausted. We took the kids out of school for a couple of days and met our friends Greg and Annie and there 3 kids.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJgz9uPEi2oNHlojq9_bRQwEGk5kRqBJFp6Z5ulBN7xJ-iVhGjBjxYNawNdeUSwavakavIbCzTQkahVIkiFgc-n-fQlN_QcTsxHF3fjeE19EK1pChO5LjcBmGfPrEQaCnQNMMTlPQvg04j/s1600/P9210267.JPG"><img style="display:block;

She seems so old to me all of a sudden. Shelby is in first grade and already her and her friends are planning to move out together when they go to college... I'm not sure I even knew what college was when I was five. She tells me all the time that she is going to go to college and when she grows up she wants to be a illustrater, she love to draw pictures to go with her stories. Her knew thing is to answer me with spelling, and usually it has a very sassy tone to it... " do you understand what I said Shelby?" " Y-E-S- M-O-M!" She says this while rolling her eyes at me! Let me tell you I pick my battles, and I totally ignore her last word because at any cost she will get in the last word... kinda reminds me of her Aunt Autumn.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqJTmpwUfMP1yMVThhegmYHvYGae4GfipZQpp_iFlv9yUKuIUNdt7dcB3CyjXVmglb3Ah-_U2V8QQkewLL-f7veFMZqqN_2AFrWlTNRe1ZPQwQ75_USpu1CkIqUlqE84RfpGgmN9vKKpY/s1600-h/IMG_7075.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqJTmpwUfMP1yMVThhegmYHvYGae4GfipZQpp_iFlv9yUKuIUNdt7dcB3CyjXVmglb3Ah-_U2V8QQkewLL-f7veFMZqqN_2AFrWlTNRe1ZPQwQ75_USpu1CkIqUlqE84RfpGgmN9vKKpY/s320/IMG_7075.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399356087532094226" /></a><br />Halloween was so much fun. I love my kids ages, Shelby keeps up with her older boy cousins, and if she falls behind she loves being the leader for the younger cousins. River keeps up but after awhile he does fall back and that is my favorite part because it reminds me he is still little. When he got tired trick or treating he wanted to walk slower by me and hold my hand. June... she caught on to the go to someones door, hold out your bucket and get a candy bit real quick! She could have out lasted her older brother and sister, she sometimes even walked into peoples homes to help her self to their candy bowl!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuoiXD9qnl98FfWNtALaqf2DHupbg2oCvO8ammPy3BBxZxlR_ZSs6GFdJn4sTeQIzR4ohPMs97DMojLqLXVS5wVtnRfRYDFsswlujU6w9II7UejhbHtXhOhDSYnmm5mPSJOShofyYBfNY/s1600-h/IMG_7156.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIuoiXD9qnl98FfWNtALaqf2DHupbg2oCvO8ammPy3BBxZxlR_ZSs6GFdJn4sTeQIzR4ohPMs97DMojLqLXVS5wVtnRfRYDFsswlujU6w9II7UejhbHtXhOhDSYnmm5mPSJOShofyYBfNY/s320/IMG_7156.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399355562557215490" /></a><br />I had alot of fun this year making all their costums.

You wrap it around you and cross the trim in the back and then tie in front. I love it because it covers you and still shows that you have a figure. It has been fun making them, I love picking out all the different material, and they have been selling really well which just adds to the fun, for me anyway! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmy_ALdvAYigrHg1YtNP0hay4ZbUqSaZp7Ijon8FrXTgBRYomCBVXtuSpUdVCKmzKUucWJfiPF2pr0b-oOQwLlWSiGlr8sfbIUUmikKgRm7TYpaUL9rhC6UNj0jap-FuMyzWsRY-Z9GcHK/s1600-h/IMG_6170.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmy_ALdvAYigrHg1YtNP0hay4ZbUqSaZp7Ijon8FrXTgBRYomCBVXtuSpUdVCKmzKUucWJfiPF2pr0b-oOQwLlWSiGlr8sfbIUUmikKgRm7TYpaUL9rhC6UNj0jap-FuMyzWsRY-Z9GcHK/s320/IMG_6170.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353352064172444674" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykAX1FwGTO75jUA9UjzrtexsElXjYaEdqjZJsAB78d5YjXxjVR8k1BoE8OLeUbfMSoqxDSs94vvJBffZclJS73eMh3YaH14T9f1qYw70coh-quoZOcghALxE76gGBWmlKg81W6PMVZLDW/s1600-h/IMG_6171.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykAX1FwGTO75jUA9UjzrtexsElXjYaEdqjZJsAB78d5YjXxjVR8k1BoE8OLeUbfMSoqxDSs94vvJBffZclJS73eMh3YaH14T9f1qYw70coh-quoZOcghALxE76gGBWmlKg81W6PMVZLDW/s320/IMG_6171.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353352057089505746" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-80778127353372825202009-06-05T23:30:00.000-07:002009-06-06T13:11:56.358-07:00Shelby's talent show, KIDS!<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwav4m9f05HS3QkvwBcrJL9Hxeqvs1I_mpdreHw_XBoTNUyETev7j88Fw2pvfHqm0UxN2eamii-cD7IhIP8rw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-9878295675368431632009-04-19T21:55:00.000-07:002009-04-19T22:28:46.788-07:00My Garden<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqyP6DNU5WSCfXBa8Y-nK1qU6szL-i8VLT_jFftLKc0Byw7_KxZSAdWfgYS7f-lcndWSRI4byz4wcNnccmHMkZWcj6BBefqWF_JC3Xeks7kVQWuptsk1Yyko1IzVBGgRadJtEyLK7hmnB/s1600-h/P4190101.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqyP6DNU5WSCfXBa8Y-nK1qU6szL-i8VLT_jFftLKc0Byw7_KxZSAdWfgYS7f-lcndWSRI4byz4wcNnccmHMkZWcj6BBefqWF_JC3Xeks7kVQWuptsk1Yyko1IzVBGgRadJtEyLK7hmnB/s320/P4190101.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326633682386585298" /></a><br />I started a garden!!! And yes I know I look totally stupid with the big hat on but I did decide to plant this afternoon in 96 degree weather. I am totally excited about what I will be growing, and if all goes well, I am excited about what we will be eating. This garden was fun to plan, build, and plant, although there were times it was a little emotional because it reminded me of my dad. He had a green thumb and his gardens were amazing.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigglNft7K_aovfQ9JCFd8jGsEsxSfmOkAy84DyofDS5DqMUCeLZpUthdtZLIlyFWYI5wgkb953y36XYJtTR0Q7pCd5AfOJnI3grMD8Rzf8JfYIcBNhneZtoF0QGwiSr1Ll-ICYILq7q8rV/s1600-h/P4190104.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigglNft7K_aovfQ9JCFd8jGsEsxSfmOkAy84DyofDS5DqMUCeLZpUthdtZLIlyFWYI5wgkb953y36XYJtTR0Q7pCd5AfOJnI3grMD8Rzf8JfYIcBNhneZtoF0QGwiSr1Ll-ICYILq7q8rV/s320/P4190104.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326633679009514514" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEmci_oQ01WzPTauh7sLBKamgxcNyfmIXYCfmYsXlC99gJKd4BdAg5cidx-johFiwqu3fa3RYgp0CtXiaUrQ42ma_UAWtLvyPTwWeWIiotFovPVIwXjNpuc91RYit9YuuCVMttor6m10jy/s1600-h/P4190106.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEmci_oQ01WzPTauh7sLBKamgxcNyfmIXYCfmYsXlC99gJKd4BdAg5cidx-johFiwqu3fa3RYgp0CtXiaUrQ42ma_UAWtLvyPTwWeWIiotFovPVIwXjNpuc91RYit9YuuCVMttor6m10jy/s320/P4190106.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326633673705053330" /></a><br />I made three boxes, two 4x4 and one 2x2.

The theme was "on the farm." It was fun to watch her show us all her work, she was so thrilled that her dad was there to see her class room ( I'm not that exciting to show around because I am in her class room every Thursday.) This is Shelby with her teacher, she is such a wonderful teacher we love her so much, and there is a good chance that Shelby will have her again next year... no she is not staying back in kindergarten, her teacher is moving to first grade!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrLzBCQ_ZSzE6_p7CYP8nNvQAbMg-EXuVahzqilODX30SQb1F-_otf5vlUjrfkXshUQAZRCt_H6MDmCWHi9bEqI6A49CGoejbRWrjtSiXbO24d3X3Ysjx39_JXQZAkLIWPmRXyJ2pLsfq/s1600-h/P4020045.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUrLzBCQ_ZSzE6_p7CYP8nNvQAbMg-EXuVahzqilODX30SQb1F-_otf5vlUjrfkXshUQAZRCt_H6MDmCWHi9bEqI6A49CGoejbRWrjtSiXbO24d3X3Ysjx39_JXQZAkLIWPmRXyJ2pLsfq/s320/P4020045.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321814482351512242" /></a><br />Shelby as a chicken.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPyK4ZsJ8XAoSSwa2bTSMZbmsw2VkN5SR7ikb2G6UtaCvxYkGpvkGv2YTAa_1PG4TCQI9rrZkEVEoiitbgh7SB6MWG3OIdx8D5XOL8HPFIOiIMr1o12sE9y4Pf5Z99AB5s04TaRCcktwl/s1600-h/P4020021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPyK4ZsJ8XAoSSwa2bTSMZbmsw2VkN5SR7ikb2G6UtaCvxYkGpvkGv2YTAa_1PG4TCQI9rrZkEVEoiitbgh7SB6MWG3OIdx8D5XOL8HPFIOiIMr1o12sE9y4Pf5Z99AB5s04TaRCcktwl/s320/P4020021.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321814293804576898" /></a><br />This is Shelby's friend Izak, how cute are they together? <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdpHTqj7suDfb_gqu5x2xUmrXIKMcvkXOYe8cuR4u4GkxVBJUqN7bz2FjOzxR1ZN_a_09M_qEr3UUMq0bGcqbnTmzB7hgpoFyhXWARm1DdQpf-gzZLsmOiVM8CxTMWYHRimHezFdEimQH/s1600-h/P4020024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAdpHTqj7suDfb_gqu5x2xUmrXIKMcvkXOYe8cuR4u4GkxVBJUqN7bz2FjOzxR1ZN_a_09M_qEr3UUMq0bGcqbnTmzB7hgpoFyhXWARm1DdQpf-gzZLsmOiVM8CxTMWYHRimHezFdEimQH/s320/P4020024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321814289045785170" /></a><br />On the farm there are chickens, her class had three baby chicks over the last week. All the kids loved them and got to hold them through out the day, I hate birds, chicks, ducks, anything with feather, but the baby chicks were pretty cute. Shelby wanted me to hold it, I took a deep breath and did it. I'm not kidding it is a real fear, my heart was pounding so hard, but I did it.

She has great vision when reading far away, the problem is when she has to focus on thing in front of her face, her left eye goes cross eyed. Turns out she is far sided and her eye gets strained when she tries to focus on things close to her, that meant she was getting glasses! One of her favorite " Charlie & Lola" episodes is when a girl at school gets glasses so today was a good experience for her because in the cartoon all the kids really wanted glasses too, lets hope this cartoon stays true for real life kindergartners. This is Shelbers with her eyes dilated, she was very wide eyed, she did great although she told me she was very nerves waiting to see what was going to happen.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9XnM3JyjL3AItfqD2oIB6bE7SRRAiUlfn9NvUyXU7BlbWMFz9eF15x_0PqRoW1CqeYQNcwK1IzFbNEUBynD1MCUSxdfSe8bEcXml6C2lExz3A79x3sOvEG4qmTEdmLrsCiafy7gOqfYak/s1600-h/P4010007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9XnM3JyjL3AItfqD2oIB6bE7SRRAiUlfn9NvUyXU7BlbWMFz9eF15x_0PqRoW1CqeYQNcwK1IzFbNEUBynD1MCUSxdfSe8bEcXml6C2lExz3A79x3sOvEG4qmTEdmLrsCiafy7gOqfYak/s320/P4010007.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319948560105844258" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEWmEX7WbjR8geexsih77angv3vHTFMLJ0vmMt1RDUw4MTDNfUG3jmo5dvdMPSHfm3E5DK1VMcoWGsxB67SKKmmW7BYPN852FOoscFFMjacTokSTsUDda37kKS7Va8YPR2t7xfrD-2TPm4/s1600-h/P4010008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEWmEX7WbjR8geexsih77angv3vHTFMLJ0vmMt1RDUw4MTDNfUG3jmo5dvdMPSHfm3E5DK1VMcoWGsxB67SKKmmW7BYPN852FOoscFFMjacTokSTsUDda37kKS7Va8YPR2t7xfrD-2TPm4/s320/P4010008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319948397732389330" /></a><br />Cool shades to walk out to the car with!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbEM7rJQMDwZA8UMzujI2QUnH9vM1nx6uA02ojofC6GGRw7j8DkCyCwhI8JvhCpmF-_ZMqTmyDYy17xWPLyk-JrhMhgQJV0o0rlzdPT-TcIN8PMbPEF2ffExk5xYFpvcGmPkmPGha2voi2/s1600-h/P4010011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbEM7rJQMDwZA8UMzujI2QUnH9vM1nx6uA02ojofC6GGRw7j8DkCyCwhI8JvhCpmF-_ZMqTmyDYy17xWPLyk-JrhMhgQJV0o0rlzdPT-TcIN8PMbPEF2ffExk5xYFpvcGmPkmPGha2voi2/s320/P4010011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319948395433063170" /></a><br />I let Shelby pick out her own glasses, she tried lots on, but had a definate favorite.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMDMatAs3jBUPxEuA62Z_tq4X2rLO9XSsE95Zv3B-NC-Q7r8AB1_UbH6igeJZ47mVkELe-lJXDGhC_AhF5AhYDyB1WRKLaovKQ1KFte8X9RnhBzRP3vVBP44ZgGBaBwnu8B3mQcPD4_Lv8/s1600-h/P4010012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMDMatAs3jBUPxEuA62Z_tq4X2rLO9XSsE95Zv3B-NC-Q7r8AB1_UbH6igeJZ47mVkELe-lJXDGhC_AhF5AhYDyB1WRKLaovKQ1KFte8X9RnhBzRP3vVBP44ZgGBaBwnu8B3mQcPD4_Lv8/s320/P4010012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319948393392456834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTj9LjlinHU7fWAr828eX5JthyHTXSjHgDYxmSGR0G33fDner8abbHGUgaOPgqjrER6DD59ZdfZBU7DP_6A19EuJYzuuIrGkRvJnPS1Rk8iCBFY7pmagjNk2nzCnmrPmZH0mBE2pStGv1a/s1600-h/P4010013.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTj9LjlinHU7fWAr828eX5JthyHTXSjHgDYxmSGR0G33fDner8abbHGUgaOPgqjrER6DD59ZdfZBU7DP_6A19EuJYzuuIrGkRvJnPS1Rk8iCBFY7pmagjNk2nzCnmrPmZH0mBE2pStGv1a/s320/P4010013.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319948388511747474" /></a><br />This was the winner!

She has such an attitude lately, she knows what she wants and when she wants it! She likes to do everything on her own, she wont even let me feed her at all anymore. She thinks its so fun to play with Shelby and River and tries so hard to keep up with them. It's funny to watch her and River roll on the floor together because, no joke, she is almost the same size as him. I'm not kidding, June is 10 months 20lbs, River is 27lbs at 3 1/2 years. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ONrId6qxw9qqXt0o2LdNGfKZ8G5f-S8fst1Ssy7VoZtmDdzf3Li1ZmDXsQwl1XmfGNEPqNbim1F-fBpJgFAKQNO6ACD0JLmGSmo-9hEvG__Ez4-UOlgXZqIFmxDYn__luoMz_L5FOF3_/s1600-h/P2190054.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3ONrId6qxw9qqXt0o2LdNGfKZ8G5f-S8fst1Ssy7VoZtmDdzf3Li1ZmDXsQwl1XmfGNEPqNbim1F-fBpJgFAKQNO6ACD0JLmGSmo-9hEvG__Ez4-UOlgXZqIFmxDYn__luoMz_L5FOF3_/s320/P2190054.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309874433238969698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRVn5Y692904XxIha-lMvDF9z0uNw69D9H_ppOYSG5E5xjmGJDL00zXVWfpYRiudahoXRujvLrFLbRvUsxcxTIPrjjuwPJ7cXBw6TKjn_2GbL5mLOUJYizMJ1da1UV26PHH6rUMFu6zF2g/s1600-h/P3040135.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRVn5Y692904XxIha-lMvDF9z0uNw69D9H_ppOYSG5E5xjmGJDL00zXVWfpYRiudahoXRujvLrFLbRvUsxcxTIPrjjuwPJ7cXBw6TKjn_2GbL5mLOUJYizMJ1da1UV26PHH6rUMFu6zF2g/s320/P3040135.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309874427149041906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMonYG0SkssmgUx1NRYBHbVe3qitN98SDcE87_V0OzXVDy_xVziwS9RpsT63KJ-Y5R2JSFd4_KFLF5o2OfDzN3-XXgM6YEeekDXl77yFU4z8_rLuQyNouyGPyMextBonoDPQxtKqwusMmZ/s1600-h/P3010120.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMonYG0SkssmgUx1NRYBHbVe3qitN98SDcE87_V0OzXVDy_xVziwS9RpsT63KJ-Y5R2JSFd4_KFLF5o2OfDzN3-XXgM6YEeekDXl77yFU4z8_rLuQyNouyGPyMextBonoDPQxtKqwusMmZ/s320/P3010120.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309874423381418930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyRfvquoDZHHYgjaGEV5FBlE34KabIWTGLf5URSJ03ylNB-0tqqwoU-wCp0-UsMWz-Z8v5U8AvaneOBGyBGsLOdDhaVuHwXzm006rBNpWTpJfh25l4pV1NZmaK-Kb-5enduPQsYluJXpm/s1600-h/P3040151.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyRfvquoDZHHYgjaGEV5FBlE34KabIWTGLf5URSJ03ylNB-0tqqwoU-wCp0-UsMWz-Z8v5U8AvaneOBGyBGsLOdDhaVuHwXzm006rBNpWTpJfh25l4pV1NZmaK-Kb-5enduPQsYluJXpm/s320/P3040151.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309874415237730370" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-71504563789842013002009-02-09T21:25:00.000-08:002009-02-09T22:12:06.532-08:00Just new pictures of the kids!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAgdG0T_S1pmPtTss2sACzP7ZyainK9eYJaXSa57_gROW559WbctlJZ-WgOFwqoLFLhIRLTSgAuaDwQcYbKBywJAdLJIgNYilg5JgLJrXsfX5W3LwFfQqW12z-MKMOD5colUdBHLLne4ON/s1600-h/IMG_5179.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAgdG0T_S1pmPtTss2sACzP7ZyainK9eYJaXSa57_gROW559WbctlJZ-WgOFwqoLFLhIRLTSgAuaDwQcYbKBywJAdLJIgNYilg5JgLJrXsfX5W3LwFfQqW12z-MKMOD5colUdBHLLne4ON/s400/IMG_5179.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301036957434562770" /></a><br />Baby June is every where!

She is a happy baby, most the time and as long as I am still in the room with her, and she is starting to know what she wants and if you don't give it to her she will let you know with a yell and she will attempt to bite you if she can! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlz2nSJ1zz4Mn-mHYRziaafPvvfJ0Ijv8DnN9VHTffDd3XGn7WanZVwrAd5O5RMUclkfWnyOVj_vlVTJ7n2TYGqFGkkYAdIwz2a8q25OTnC0VvjsUL0iuyARE7BDypLgvw42xJvDXCz4q/s1600-h/IMG_5203.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlz2nSJ1zz4Mn-mHYRziaafPvvfJ0Ijv8DnN9VHTffDd3XGn7WanZVwrAd5O5RMUclkfWnyOVj_vlVTJ7n2TYGqFGkkYAdIwz2a8q25OTnC0VvjsUL0iuyARE7BDypLgvw42xJvDXCz4q/s400/IMG_5203.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301036658018021762" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnwOLtEiufDF2UZL-YyQMPhpx6M3hQl4i3UoJxm-oEOco1JZqGb8jsop9RKF_HePh81glrUIP7QIVBu92gRb9ClJSp9JyjrP3kXMg8BU5sTbrdlOV-70-EmI1mjP3hR4LHyEK0hUZtdOFK/s1600-h/IMG_5226.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnwOLtEiufDF2UZL-YyQMPhpx6M3hQl4i3UoJxm-oEOco1JZqGb8jsop9RKF_HePh81glrUIP7QIVBu92gRb9ClJSp9JyjrP3kXMg8BU5sTbrdlOV-70-EmI1mjP3hR4LHyEK0hUZtdOFK/s400/IMG_5226.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301036658595869442" /></a><br />River is my little dare devil lately.

Sure enough it was very wobbly, so much in fact that it took only a couple of hours until that tooth was out! She sat in the mirror for a while and wiggled it until it was ready. I told her I was just going to "feel" it... I really meant pull it! It only took one pull with a little twist and it was out... I love pulling teeth, it is just fun. Her tooth right next to it is pretty wobbly, just a couple more days until I "feel" that one too.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwSdqLDnJBbAH6z3EXUiEwKZDiuJh_kwCydWug3JJ0YmifZwTgDlc9dhObZVUzYRXjV0DFIb3io-RtrrIcPv3SVQE-FReh_34-TqcrnGCZHQ03tMQqb_NXyjMObGa4LfypdMRrd8-bsZu5/s1600-h/P1280076.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwSdqLDnJBbAH6z3EXUiEwKZDiuJh_kwCydWug3JJ0YmifZwTgDlc9dhObZVUzYRXjV0DFIb3io-RtrrIcPv3SVQE-FReh_34-TqcrnGCZHQ03tMQqb_NXyjMObGa4LfypdMRrd8-bsZu5/s400/P1280076.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300644186080157378" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLbX77SkCMfl9vTxasu97RVCVj6YW4V8rcbuWk8ciEiQjzPged8Z9VKNnb5MnKmBgxW33yGaqHGL7Lw6qVrMM9XUiPiHKen0vGvLUm4L39PnZWtmSodtjAdsDIipxs2Ieq_tHkWV5JAwP/s1600-h/P1280078.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLbX77SkCMfl9vTxasu97RVCVj6YW4V8rcbuWk8ciEiQjzPged8Z9VKNnb5MnKmBgxW33yGaqHGL7Lw6qVrMM9XUiPiHKen0vGvLUm4L39PnZWtmSodtjAdsDIipxs2Ieq_tHkWV5JAwP/s400/P1280078.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300644179659416962" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HMN3wYqq-9maOAEDtvWTg20zr-PeatS7daJDgWn-HcbK-YcMax0BxZcG4Z0reQD1vaQ-TUypM2WBgR4aJZFOwTLE0Q_qtEr54hAOniho43GCQwoK27C3onjfrwH_rg0cVq6EXMTLp5AX/s1600-h/P1280079.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HMN3wYqq-9maOAEDtvWTg20zr-PeatS7daJDgWn-HcbK-YcMax0BxZcG4Z0reQD1vaQ-TUypM2WBgR4aJZFOwTLE0Q_qtEr54hAOniho43GCQwoK27C3onjfrwH_rg0cVq6EXMTLp5AX/s400/P1280079.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300644179067329778" /></a><br />Shelby and River sat examining the tooth for ever. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJanFVTvJpK0RN2VFZQAL2DtjfTKRrD9xZAGXSBadBeXktmfCx9xQ9tfO6i0DWpDORT_CUcagm9PeuGAwzOasV6V2U_QIvpg7hYu1S4PlUMYkNCEjd7ufkwCrBnhQfzIUnVDlMfi99_vic/s1600-h/P1280080.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJanFVTvJpK0RN2VFZQAL2DtjfTKRrD9xZAGXSBadBeXktmfCx9xQ9tfO6i0DWpDORT_CUcagm9PeuGAwzOasV6V2U_QIvpg7hYu1S4PlUMYkNCEjd7ufkwCrBnhQfzIUnVDlMfi99_vic/s400/P1280080.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300644174666889298" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-31067938708409434122009-01-23T21:17:00.000-08:002009-01-23T21:44:16.395-08:00Walking in the RainShelby and River think it is so fun to go outside in the rain. Usually I don't allow them to play outside while it is raining, mostly because they get sick so often, but today it was not too cold out so we went for a walk. They thought it was so much fun carrying their own umbrellas and skipping down the street in the rain. I forget sometimes that the simple things, like playing in the rain, brings them so much joy. Just one more thing for me to learn from my kids. I thought I was supposed to be teaching them but they prove over and over I have so much to learn. I love having kids, they make me such a better person, most days anyway. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWjDMwA0uXYQ_nzuqN73z1o5BI3lmNaEZe6Y8CcFoMxsspKxQ60ODZyWsrq8W09B2lxlKF8go-vtn0dLaeodvWJTif2chi2MkdI5QgMO4MKDNk8jTNTsUNgGUJ31LWOwQGOCD5-JIyWXD/s1600-h/IMG_5148.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWjDMwA0uXYQ_nzuqN73z1o5BI3lmNaEZe6Y8CcFoMxsspKxQ60ODZyWsrq8W09B2lxlKF8go-vtn0dLaeodvWJTif2chi2MkdI5QgMO4MKDNk8jTNTsUNgGUJ31LWOwQGOCD5-JIyWXD/s400/IMG_5148.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294725741080232402" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUD_ah8RhZH4_TT0oQerzn2ag3oBzJUq551vsVAaI8WLLX9o4_H0tOFLpvBq6Iv12bKKusoZNXyEdNtHGsuNzLk6kJHIAWUv4r2FJnDF-LTd5LtcWHPVrDKEHu6Ud7epsujPAJOg1iqjza/s1600-h/IMG_5153.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUD_ah8RhZH4_TT0oQerzn2ag3oBzJUq551vsVAaI8WLLX9o4_H0tOFLpvBq6Iv12bKKusoZNXyEdNtHGsuNzLk6kJHIAWUv4r2FJnDF-LTd5LtcWHPVrDKEHu6Ud7epsujPAJOg1iqjza/s400/IMG_5153.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294725735616157186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKvHXpTOAzZSeRrFZEch1cetSKGG3P7FFnEZKyDUdNvajySCm6P69bVDUgdp31Ktc5lP41z1bo3np5Pq4rYtLMI2ZQdxF2fLglCudv_NzfArLeH8Y2SvZ4FAv4aXD_V3SFytMP0LFcMdG/s1600-h/IMG_5165.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKvHXpTOAzZSeRrFZEch1cetSKGG3P7FFnEZKyDUdNvajySCm6P69bVDUgdp31Ktc5lP41z1bo3np5Pq4rYtLMI2ZQdxF2fLglCudv_NzfArLeH8Y2SvZ4FAv4aXD_V3SFytMP0LFcMdG/s400/IMG_5165.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294725729147895698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3h3o-Iw6nunUA1-gxXPmcef2C3Rq5uu8ZTMmvX9oRIs-8Yc3NfN95GnXucXhdZuQK2kHzlNwGT_Z_YLoAbS0OP7RmMxHXaH7_g4XUBklRAPRQlWWmilbge9MineLWBtNkabAV9fNYAj-8/s1600-h/IMG_5166.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3h3o-Iw6nunUA1-gxXPmcef2C3Rq5uu8ZTMmvX9oRIs-8Yc3NfN95GnXucXhdZuQK2kHzlNwGT_Z_YLoAbS0OP7RmMxHXaH7_g4XUBklRAPRQlWWmilbge9MineLWBtNkabAV9fNYAj-8/s400/IMG_5166.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294725729077097346" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-46889558629470771092009-01-15T16:40:00.001-08:002009-01-15T17:14:31.000-08:00Project #2I love January. I always feel inspired to organize my house and make things better than before. I get extra "crafty" this time of year because I have no projects I have to get done for the holidays and usually I don't have much I have to do for others. I know how selfish of me to love the time of year I only do things for myself! Anyway I have been making a list of things I have wanted to re due around my house and I'm doing them, finally! So project #2 was to make my plain curtains that hang in my family room look better. I started with plain tan curtains I got at Ikea some time ago. I would have really liked to just buy new ones that I liked (Target has a ton of really cute ones for a okay price) the problem is I need them 96" long and most places have 84", or something like that. I know the longer ones are out there but I am also, what I like to call "thrifty", others may call cheap and I don't want to spend 80-some dollars on each panel. So here is what I did: I started with these...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwU7BnveO00gKzy-KWVBe_5v1GeJinrhi4okvDC-ljzsc6gHZiTqRao7vMiBLkW3gNyWxo5jm62ruhaqRIgivNRHBjfFtWO6VAGhSk-bubYp7BPxVY7jx8bpbHOJ-jR7VZY-Fw-jyKRqgp/s1600-h/P1140019.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwU7BnveO00gKzy-KWVBe_5v1GeJinrhi4okvDC-ljzsc6gHZiTqRao7vMiBLkW3gNyWxo5jm62ruhaqRIgivNRHBjfFtWO6VAGhSk-bubYp7BPxVY7jx8bpbHOJ-jR7VZY-Fw-jyKRqgp/s400/P1140019.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291685786827426418" /></a><br />Then I got some cute material and sewed it right to the right side of the panel. I also added some brown pipping to make it look not so "homemade."<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIhdzB9dmtDKWBnE-CLwaCu6Wdg5Pqv9EV0kPNbSRaZT9y5UcL_FhEKfZc7v3DTyN41BY0_2fEPSDXre3zxH4sVqKQIAbSGfuEQsxcDR59Qt08ogZRTq0SEM8WacwskvvO-kqSBauWtX-m/s1600-h/P1140022.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIhdzB9dmtDKWBnE-CLwaCu6Wdg5Pqv9EV0kPNbSRaZT9y5UcL_FhEKfZc7v3DTyN41BY0_2fEPSDXre3zxH4sVqKQIAbSGfuEQsxcDR59Qt08ogZRTq0SEM8WacwskvvO-kqSBauWtX-m/s400/P1140022.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291685779327555858" /></a><br />I also added the same color brown bias tape at the bottom to finish it instead of a seam. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kPWc4YEhWtzpE5dYrI4In1NPVFyKkFQejbYWRVN_fjDaC0Et5M7Xy1MpeOTZKitt9FopoCLnLZtmmUVg_NFsoqKctCWkBmD6J0Ula9PsS0KMkBITWddwNoycI9V8yPNt4OZPPSZ-jupM/s1600-h/P1140023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kPWc4YEhWtzpE5dYrI4In1NPVFyKkFQejbYWRVN_fjDaC0Et5M7Xy1MpeOTZKitt9FopoCLnLZtmmUVg_NFsoqKctCWkBmD6J0Ula9PsS0KMkBITWddwNoycI9V8yPNt4OZPPSZ-jupM/s400/P1140023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291685774778544786" /></a><br />And here is the end result... cute "custom" curtains for really cheap! I also like that they are not all print, I think having only the bottom 1/4 of them printed makes them not to busy. I also want to state that I'm not posting my project for the "look how great I am" result. I am posting them in case you want to do it yourself and posting them makes me not only finish what I started but it gets me excited for what to do next.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkrksl1bxnRcn3bicyKpKd_omZviB4s9UWL5NjgPe1JgrihK1h_dlwEhYJfkxS51ifFeS7CB09gwt0aWX-E-KRRkpKsjdbIn6-trgbiBR-v8q3XvUEZY70-73k5Uyp1HiS9taC1VYLfGu/s1600-h/P1140024.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLkrksl1bxnRcn3bicyKpKd_omZviB4s9UWL5NjgPe1JgrihK1h_dlwEhYJfkxS51ifFeS7CB09gwt0aWX-E-KRRkpKsjdbIn6-trgbiBR-v8q3XvUEZY70-73k5Uyp1HiS9taC1VYLfGu/s400/P1140024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291685767110202418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtTMefHLDRwwuV24bjxCAm5wZj-wQZbutP7fpoxP6B6Kd4pPY4XK0bhTYsfrX-gT_C7bGVjgxy11cCHE3XRzu5rsrx-M7zzIKyAsOz6IQaG-OQGFjRKh_PFbjRpEHAu3fvm4It_gDc0YVf/s1600-h/P1140018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtTMefHLDRwwuV24bjxCAm5wZj-wQZbutP7fpoxP6B6Kd4pPY4XK0bhTYsfrX-gT_C7bGVjgxy11cCHE3XRzu5rsrx-M7zzIKyAsOz6IQaG-OQGFjRKh_PFbjRpEHAu3fvm4It_gDc0YVf/s400/P1140018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291685763964604242" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-68771784475990942072009-01-11T21:26:00.000-08:002009-01-11T21:34:55.559-08:00River's long over due hair cutIt has been a long time since I gave River a hair cut so the other day I got to it. Everything went well until at the end I combed it the wrong way according to him and then it was sudden tears and crying. I quickly combed it back and then he was fine with it. He is very picky about his hair and clothes, if it is not what he wants he lets you know.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKO2E0jdwLFzIObosPAHsrOIm0au0JpWq08P6mVaoaVvW4RyC50qniXUN7LGV0h2MhW4xlDVgWeG7xYqwvq5eJ4MXyIa4eRZCnOAgKJ5F8vJN3xPK0hC11rhV25AIGJUEQMYZlRPMl9mv4/s1600-h/P1050163.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKO2E0jdwLFzIObosPAHsrOIm0au0JpWq08P6mVaoaVvW4RyC50qniXUN7LGV0h2MhW4xlDVgWeG7xYqwvq5eJ4MXyIa4eRZCnOAgKJ5F8vJN3xPK0hC11rhV25AIGJUEQMYZlRPMl9mv4/s400/P1050163.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290274992087694018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2w9qZDMnIrjXE2Dl7HoJreaGh0MD-vJqjFtfM0GxWqvPNYBR3dqieChydKgZP_-yohf3cza2IK6rhyhE18J56_vny1Sw-KINqoMCvgpjvnwEIS-UfIbD00c5_yhi5S0yh52VvXLlExIy/s1600-h/P1050164.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2w9qZDMnIrjXE2Dl7HoJreaGh0MD-vJqjFtfM0GxWqvPNYBR3dqieChydKgZP_-yohf3cza2IK6rhyhE18J56_vny1Sw-KINqoMCvgpjvnwEIS-UfIbD00c5_yhi5S0yh52VvXLlExIy/s400/P1050164.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290274979195703186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RyBWIglrFTe86i4LDl6QZXnoawbKxH8gYf84qCI2rwhjQnV0xTYORWFDbQVxqlZx9pVy3PLCC0BvO8cr0yJJMV3RQl-Lzy9nY9YlcE050qjFO7b5vB3ONUWoEL7INK3PP_eORxVZwgg7/s1600-h/P1050165.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_RyBWIglrFTe86i4LDl6QZXnoawbKxH8gYf84qCI2rwhjQnV0xTYORWFDbQVxqlZx9pVy3PLCC0BvO8cr0yJJMV3RQl-Lzy9nY9YlcE050qjFO7b5vB3ONUWoEL7INK3PP_eORxVZwgg7/s400/P1050165.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290274970719966226" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjpgvOCwcT_WFes6ij9nyLuHOT8zJEKRm9ck-YPGWqxu939TCftC4ZECz6sJ_-Gfi5RKfEt5QpV1LTr3iPceRBtD9mjlXFIFzdc-GrTNDIzNt4J9X8tPLNpxnCKOOv2zVeV7dKj_H2yWF/s1600-h/P1050169.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGjpgvOCwcT_WFes6ij9nyLuHOT8zJEKRm9ck-YPGWqxu939TCftC4ZECz6sJ_-Gfi5RKfEt5QpV1LTr3iPceRBtD9mjlXFIFzdc-GrTNDIzNt4J9X8tPLNpxnCKOOv2zVeV7dKj_H2yWF/s400/P1050169.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290274960816726450" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-68537626190381184242009-01-09T22:32:00.000-08:002009-01-09T23:05:24.298-08:00My reason for not blogging latelyI get this kick every January, you know to clean and reorganize everything. So my first project was my "mud" room. This is the room you enter when you walk thru the garage door, all the shoes go there, back packs, and any other junk I am bring in from the car. There is a built in desk that I have always hated because it was the place I threw everything. My goal was to bring this desk area to life, and give it a purpose in my house, plus it is the first thing I see every time I walk through the door so I was going for a fun welcoming feel. I forgot to take a before picture so use your imagination... this picture is taken from my living room, behind the shutters is the desk.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbmgz8QdgkDT8c9i-DASkDQG7B4VxlIjFQI-EETBWCEfJmcJJHSA-AIjt5r5JByZj44NyrLhvRAPt9go3AUDP25Jq1-poNznTCs4CP2eijpF4U9HA08kd7Nm4Y44eq6YXNyB78cSiD8T1I/s1600-h/IMG_3435.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbmgz8QdgkDT8c9i-DASkDQG7B4VxlIjFQI-EETBWCEfJmcJJHSA-AIjt5r5JByZj44NyrLhvRAPt9go3AUDP25Jq1-poNznTCs4CP2eijpF4U9HA08kd7Nm4Y44eq6YXNyB78cSiD8T1I/s400/IMG_3435.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289550343848523106" /></a><br />The color of the desk and the walls are the same as my kitchen, I like the dark cabinets but it gets boring have it all thru my house.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5V2E2UuIklkNRYFlv6XLog_GIUoW_JFNN5G-naUoiOng4O0i0fm7lqo0kl0hbB_tB0qMfxgO3HT849BYJTKc-8a4MqKYcQculMQ8luzoMBQZ1Wv5iDvxCmCvHi76OVWA3GIrOrQjttMC/s1600-h/IMG_3397.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX5V2E2UuIklkNRYFlv6XLog_GIUoW_JFNN5G-naUoiOng4O0i0fm7lqo0kl0hbB_tB0qMfxgO3HT849BYJTKc-8a4MqKYcQculMQ8luzoMBQZ1Wv5iDvxCmCvHi76OVWA3GIrOrQjttMC/s400/IMG_3397.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289550342264508242" /></a><br />This is my after. I painted this little room and I am amazed how refreshing it feels. I have my charging dock in the middle, and everything has a place. I had a ton of fun with my label maker and now everyone knows were everything goes.

We had such a fun time and the kids were so fun to watch. Santa was very good to us this year, the kids got a art desk, razors, and lots of fun toys! River was so unpredictable, he did not want to open any presents. The night befor he opened one present at his Grandmas house and did not want to open any more the rest of the night. He really liked his first present and that was all he needed. So on Christmas morning he liked looking at all the presents under the tree but after opening his first present he did not want to open any more. He was playing with his first present and when I handed him another to open he threw it back at the tree! He was opening presents until that afternoon! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHtIuwNY9x5a3XN3N3pvSEPsdmZkzQDeQwFLqLzEKdBOYU5XMK6RU82EfDv8OAU3-iyn4M-MD6z149fe-AoHu3DYo-ziLZB0-2_NWRVdNSwAX3mr4apZ-2bay2SQy1BHN7X38QR29dxlE-/s1600-h/IMG_5096.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHtIuwNY9x5a3XN3N3pvSEPsdmZkzQDeQwFLqLzEKdBOYU5XMK6RU82EfDv8OAU3-iyn4M-MD6z149fe-AoHu3DYo-ziLZB0-2_NWRVdNSwAX3mr4apZ-2bay2SQy1BHN7X38QR29dxlE-/s400/IMG_5096.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288702435201893346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyKIPLz4PUuljEw0xPWJaC7jDfOqECHDXUThsJsQ50b7mhSGSBU7oTByDyeNGMOxBx7SK4N_MFoRIdrITw2-ttnoTvCY4ziBQEH9WcfPCo2AHf2IY2L_fCUMFrAuEfHdn1oW-JtOHffXpc/s1600-h/IMG_5107.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyKIPLz4PUuljEw0xPWJaC7jDfOqECHDXUThsJsQ50b7mhSGSBU7oTByDyeNGMOxBx7SK4N_MFoRIdrITw2-ttnoTvCY4ziBQEH9WcfPCo2AHf2IY2L_fCUMFrAuEfHdn1oW-JtOHffXpc/s400/IMG_5107.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288702238391803682" /></a><br />June had tons of fun eating the wrapping paper and playing with her new toys.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK0NYvRhkF9NxwTkfAiSLEReyOil_70ic1yHHp6ELhtR9TQbMm6yYHILULdx5UAEjEjSnEVH86TDTIJYBeKX-riC8xG_g0_uzrDhx-R2fA0fxKN_DYmUKqCVHYXkgQzYOvQpkcOtesjeU/s1600-h/<br />IMG_5122.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSK0NYvRhkF9NxwTkfAiSLEReyOil_70ic1yHHp6ELhtR9TQbMm6yYHILULdx5UAEjEjSnEVH86TDTIJYBeKX-riC8xG_g0_uzrDhx-R2fA0fxKN_DYmUKqCVHYXkgQzYOvQpkcOtesjeU/s400/IMG_5122.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288702231304249202" /></a><br />Binoculars... my dad would be proud!

BirthdayJacob turned 31 last week, so happy late birthday babe! We had a fun, simple, celebration with just us and the kids. Shelby, River, and I made him a chocolate cake with lots of rainbow sprinkles on it, his favorite. We had dinner, then we all went to see Madacascar 2 at the movies, then we came home and had cake! We had a fun night. Jacob, thanks for being such a great husband and father, the kids and I always have fun with you.

(I'm not too sure if that made sense but hopefully you understood what I meant.) So today I was in the car and I was listening to Christmas music, I know what you're thinking: too soon, right? Anyway the song " O Holy Night" started to play and I really listened to the words and re-fell in love with this song. My reason for this blog is to tell everyone, including myself, that this year is the year to get into the Christmas spirit. I don't mean Santa Clause and presents, although that is a huge part and a part I love. I mean the "true" part of Christmas, the spirit of giving and kindness, the story of Christ being born, that is the meaning and the most important part of the holiday season. I know so many people who are having a hard time right now. This past year has been hard both with finances and emotionally for so many of us. Still there is a lot to be thankful for and a good time to be had this season. Back to my start of this blog... the song, O Holy Night. "O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth... Fall on your knees! Oh hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born... The King of Kings lay thus lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friends. He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger... Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace... With all our hearts we praise His holy name." Read these words and take them to heart please. I know with out a doubt that Christ was born, and He knows are needs, even the needs we don't realize we may need! During this hard time remember each other, be kind, be a friend, even to strangers, and follow what Christ taught, and love one another. This time in so many of our lives might be the hardest but it, in a very humbling way, might soften our hearts and clear our minds to what is important in this life, and this hard time might turn into the very best time. I look forward to this holiday season and the ups and the downs that will come with it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710058100976641534.post-71573508435983363482008-11-21T18:37:00.000-08:002008-11-21T19:36:08.017-08:00Shelby's Birthday PartyShelby turned 5, I can't believe she is five already. Time goes by way too fast, but at the same time its hard to remember what it was like without her. Shelby has a fun personality, she is such a great friend to everyone. Her teacher tells me how sweet she is to all the kids in her class. She is really smart and loves kindergarten. Shelby is a great little girl and she loves to please me, her dad, and her teachers... of course there is another side. At times I have the most stubborn, sassy, attitude like a 15 year old, full of drama, screaming crying little girl. I know most people don't find this side of kids all that fun or cute, me, on the other hand, I like this side of her. Not only does this "lovely" side of my daughter keep me on my toes, but it makes for fun stories and, as you can tell, I love to get these moments on camera as much as possible. Also I know that I have a daughter who will not back down from what she wants or doesn't want, her strong personality I know will only help her in life. Shelby you are a little girl who can light up a whole room, you make me so happy and I love every side of you, Happy Birthday Missy Moo, who is made out of chocolate milk! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9gvXJmZftWU4WsK8YEicNEuLVmaDJPwHo-cMmniIwOQkfmIQ8M61NeFWtPFi504hZlRaQMMgrxcRQs6DJmBp8vid3M6qpJU_KnGv1JXMne94PmPcp9HRlOVKEB4f_8mClrLJJl7d_TNTR/s1600-h/PB140050.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9gvXJmZftWU4WsK8YEicNEuLVmaDJPwHo-cMmniIwOQkfmIQ8M61NeFWtPFi504hZlRaQMMgrxcRQs6DJmBp8vid3M6qpJU_KnGv1JXMne94PmPcp9HRlOVKEB4f_8mClrLJJl7d_TNTR/s400/PB140050.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271310859012662434" /></a><br />We had a "small" party for her. She really wanted to invite her friends from school, I thought why not? After talking to her teacher I was not surprised to find out that Shelby is truely friends with her whole class. I thought about it and what the heck, whats 20 kids? Of course we also invited her friends we see and play with that don't go to her school too. (I'm sorry to all my friends from Orange County I had to stop somewhere, and at least nobody had to drive a hour for a birthday party!) I forgot to do a final head count, but I know I had somewhere between 30 & 35 kids!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmCgmNlrBRkj4T0GnOkGrJhqysXRu9LZBiX2QjZRQbsopsotP80l5znZjDjgcccYU8aGtGNFUjoVdaBrXQbuBCjBYon8_MhDIxMaludCBz8-CJy-csMn9BBLrsRLmrjHDosL-fSQOu3Jih/s1600-h/PB140052.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmCgmNlrBRkj4T0GnOkGrJhqysXRu9LZBiX2QjZRQbsopsotP80l5znZjDjgcccYU8aGtGNFUjoVdaBrXQbuBCjBYon8_MhDIxMaludCBz8-CJy-csMn9BBLrsRLmrjHDosL-fSQOu3Jih/s400/PB140052.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271310856811736690" /></a><br />We started decorating cupcakes!
