So sad...

You know it's sad when it's Friday and first of all you didn't even realize it, secondly it doesn't even matter.

Logan had a really bad night last night. He coughed pretty much all night, so nobody got any sleep, except Cody. We go back into the doctor today at 2 for Logan, hopefully he'll either give us some breathing treatments or something...enough it enough ya know? Cody is almost 100% . His nose is running like crazy, but he seems to be feeling fine so that helps out a lot. Justin and I have the sore throat and ears and sinus trouble. It's F-U-N here in McNeill land.

However, let me tell you about my friend Kim. She is amazing. Yesterday afternoon she showed up with Chicken and dumplings, green beans and brownies! And let me tell you...it was yummy. She also brought some bubble bath, magazine, and Logan a lunchable. She's a great friend.

Logan taught me a new game yesterday. It's called...ok, it's kind of embarrassing that my 8 year old had to teach me, but it was chess. Yes, chess. He plays with my mom and dad and I finally let him teach me. It's hard. But that makes it fun for him, because he wins, a lot! But I'm getting the hang of it, so I say, BRING IT ON Logan! Bring it on...mommy will win!

Ok, Cody is sick of me typing. Love and miss you all.

Uuuuuuggggghhhhhhh,

That pretty much sums it up, ugh. I have it now, and I think Justin is the next victim. I've been taking medicine all day yesterday and all night. Yuck.

Logan had his doctors appointment yesterday. He checked him out and then sent us to the hospital for x-rays. The x-rays showed that his right lung hadn't really responded to the medicine, so he put us on a different drug and a week after he takes that we go in for a pulmonary function test. It's possible his asthma has gotten worse and we might have to start doing breathing treatments. So we'll see. Logan was very brave with the x-rays because I couldn't go with him b/c I had Cody. He said it went fine, but his side hurt a little from them. :-) So to make it feel better, we went to Taco Bueno...and it worked! No side ache anymore.

Cody is doing much better. Slept all night and took a great nap last yesterday. Catching up on all that sleep he missed. He's still got a snotty nose and cough, but his smile has returned and his precious little attitude has too.

Well, everyone here is asking for food so I'm off to cook up some breakfast. Love and miss you all!

Sleep is good...

Yes, sleep is good. And finally we got some last night. Or at least more than usual. The problem last night wasn't Cody, SHOCKING, it was Logan. Cody had a rough start, he cried for about 35 minutes before finally falling asleep. He woke up twice I heard fussing, but never gave it his all, so he went back to sleep. Logan however, coughed all night long. Loud, barking coughs. So, we'll see if that is a good thing or a bad thing today at the doctor.

I think I might be getting some of it. Actually both Justin and I. We woke up with sore thoats and headaches, hopefully it's just from lack of sleep.

Logan is watching TV this morning, still not wanting to eat, but drinking a ton! Cody is playing a little, everything is kind of making him angry though, so maybe we're not quite over the sick, or maybe, just maybe, he's fine, just stubborn.

Not much else going on here but that. We watched a little TV and then headed to bed, not knowing what our night would hold for us. Justin is off to work, he's been having to drive routes because the flu has hit his work hard. They say they've narrowed the assistant manager down to two people so hopefully soon they'll have it figured out, he's got two new drivers, so hopefully they will work and he should be set!

Well, I'm gonna go start our day, I'll let you know what the doctor says. Love and miss you all!

One more day...

Hello all! Just a quick note to let you know that we are all still sick here. Logan isn't doing much better I don't think, he's still real lethargic and not eating much. He slept great, but I'm still a little worried about him. Cody did sleep a little more last night, so that helped. But I'm not sure he's feeling any better either. Today he doesn't have a fever, but definitely snotty, coughy, and cranky.

I'll write more later. love and mis syou all!

Here are some oldie pictures and video I thought you might enjoy!

First the fun stuff...

MyHeritage: Look-alike Meter - Family history - Pedigree

Amy had this on her blog and asked us to try, so I did. I got left behind obviously. Logan is 6% more like Justin and Cody is 7%...very interesting!

And now, for the not so fun stuff. We're sick...again. Both boys have pneumonia. I took them in today after a weekend from you know where...Cody had a VERY rough Friday and Saturday night, in fact Sunday night too. Justin stayed up for the first half with him Friday and Saturday and I took the final shift. He was refusing to sleep and running 102 temp. In fact it was so bad with no sleeping on Sunday we went to Eufaula...yup...Eufaula. We drove and he slept, so we kept on driving. We needed to pick up a battery charger for Logan's old 12 volt battery and it was at the lake. So that was a good nap at least...then this morning Logan woke up with a fever and aches. So I called the dr. at 8:00am sharp. They got us in and took flu tests. No flu, but when he listened to Logans chest, he got very nervous. His right lung was very quiet, too quiet he said. So he put them on some meds and we have to go back Wednesday to have Logan checked out again. Hopefully it will work, if not chest x-rays and hospital possibly...we'll see. So after 2 hours at Wal-Mart waiting for prescriptions...we're home. I have discovered a fantastic way to get your prescription moved up to "critical." It's having Cody there. If you ever need some medication fast, come borrow him. We walked around forever and finally he was just sick of it. I went and asked how much longer, oh, 45 minutes...UGH...I didn't want to go home just to have to get them out again, so we waited. Right by the pharmacist window. And I let Cody scream...next thing I know the lady asked what the name was...says she's putting it on critical and bam, all of 3 minutes later...out the door. Interesting. I said to the lady "Gee, I hope the screaming didn't bother you all." Oh no, she said, we're used to it. Yeah right...that's why I got 42 minutes shaved off my wait time. So I'm saying it now...thank goodness for Cody and his set of lungs! :-)

He's sleeping right now and Logan is on his second helping of yogurt. I am a little nervous about all the school he's missed. I'm waiting for his teacher to respond about it. He's doing so well, hopefully it won't be a problem.

Well, I better get back to Lysoling down the house. Hope you all are well!!! Love and miss you all!

Good Friday morning!

Good morning everyone! What a beautiful morning. Woke up to a nice gentle layer of snow. I love it! It might as well snow everyday if it's going to be cold, if it's not gonna snow, bring on spring. Well, I got to watch my show last night. Another good episode, but not as good as the last one. I could talk about it my whole blog and maybe get some of you interested in it...but I won't, I'll wait till Amy is off work.

Logan is a-ok today. He's still got the coughs pretty bad, but he feels fine. I'm going to go get some Mucinex cought, my sister said it worked awesome...so we'll see if she speaks the truth, or is just another of those "I am Legend" liars! :-) He had TONS of homework from the three days he was out. We did it all last night though, except for his poem...oops, we totally forgot about that until just right now. Well, hopefully she'll cut him some slack. Dang it! We are signing him up for baseball this weekend. He is really loooking forward to it. In fact, he wanted to make sure we knew about it, so he tore the sign off the bulletin board at school. We had a talk about how you're not supposed to do that, but he still saw no problem. It was something he wanted, so he took it...uh oh...that can't be good!

Cody is fine today. He ran a little fever all day yesterday and crabbiness came and went. He seems to be fine today however, up and at em' and barking at everything. (Don't ask) He's really gotten into his little people. He puts them in cars and runs them around everywhere. He also likes the play gym they have. Not so much for them, but for Cody. He likes to sit on the slide and merry go round. I tried to get a picture, but he's too quick for my camera.

Well, I'm off. Today I do laundry, clean house, and get my hair cut. I'll send a picture if it turns out cute, if not...you'll know. Wish me luck!!! Love and miss you all!

Hurry Friday!

Good afternoon everyone. Cody had his doctors appt. yesterday and I am proud to say, he no longer thinks he's a dwarf! :-) He is very small for his age, but growing perfectly and wonderfully. He got two shots, which don't seem to be treating him very good today. Grumpy and sore on the spot where he got them. I'm going into town with Kim so hopefully a car ride and distraction will help. *can you tell from the pictues, he wants to be soooo big!

Logan went to school today. And wasn't really looking forward to it, until Cody woke up so grumpy and then he was ready to go! In fact, he wanted to leave early...don't say I blame him. I'm sure he'll have a boat load of homework, so that's probably what we'll be doing for the next 2 days...fun fun!

Justin has been super swamped at work because they still don't have an assistant. He's hoping for one REALLLLLY soon. Me too, cause he's had to work hard and a lot. That's really all for now. I'm kind of tired from the night with Cody. Love and miss you all!

On the mend!

Good Wednesday morning everyone. Hope you all are doing well. We are. Logan is feeling much better today. Well actually I don't know that officially because he's still asleep, but as of yesterday evening he was much better. Still doesn't have much of an appetite so I'm not sure if I'll let him go to school or not. I'll see how he feels when he wakes up.

Yesterday we pretty much just hung out again. Logan laid around all day and watched some TV when he wasn't sleeping. Kim and her son Evan came over and brought us some lunch and COOKIES...does she know me or what? It was nice to have some company, you get a little lonely in the house all day. Evan and Cody had a great time playing together. At first Cody was very stingy with his toys, but by the end he was getting better. Maybe all those times at the Y and church helped his little attitude out.

We go to the doctor today for his 15 month check up. Hopefully they won't think he's a dwarf again. It always makes me feel better that the specialist said "Some tall people just think everyone is too short, he probably thought you were one too..." nice. I think he'll get shots today, but I'm not sure. So that should be FUN. Other than that we're not doing anything especially if Logan is still out of school.

I guess that's about it. We're pretty boring this week. Did I tell you that my burn is healing nicely. Did I even tell you I got burned? It's a tragic story...one night I was fixing dinner. I went to the stove to drain the noodles when a drop, a little tiny drop, of the water splashed up and hit me in the chin. OUCH, I can't imagine how people who are really burned feel...it hurt. And it was literally a drop, no more. It instantly started oozing, yummy I know, and scarring up. It lasted about a week I guess, it was not pretty, I know everyone thought I had a big pimple right smack in the middle of my chin, and makeup wouldn't cover it up. But it's finally fading now, and I am glad. So the morale of my story is...no more fixing dinner. That should solve it don't you think?

By the way, those pictures were from this weekend during a HUGE ball fight. That bag of balls from Pappy is a gift that keeps on giving...giving me a headache!!! Love and miss you all

Oh no, not again...

Well yesterday started off perfect. Went to the gym and Cody did great. Came home, cleaned up a little, got ready, put Cody down for a nap, and started doing some scrapping...then KABLAM...my day was turned around. The school calls, Logan has a 103 fever. So I have to wake up Cody...which is like waking a sleeping bear, and head up to schoool. Pick him up and bring him home. He takes a bath and then goes to bed. He slept for about an hour and was hungry. He ate half a bowl of soup and then went back to the bath. He got out and went to bed at 5:00pm and woke up this morning at 7:30am...WOAH. So today, he said he was hungry, he tried to eat but then got a little sick to the stomach, so back to bed. And that's where we are right now.

Cody had a hard time with Logan being home and again, not playing with him. He also had a hard time b/c he wouldn't go back down for a nap, so he was tired. So my afternoon was fun, fun, fun.

Hopefully today will be better, and Cody will be happy and Logan will start to feel better. I don't know how many more days he can miss! Well wish me luck...love and miss you all!

What? It's Monday?

Where did the weekend go? Geez, days go too fast sometimes. We had rain most of the day on Saturday, however it never got below freezing, so we didn't get the ice or snow they forecast...SHOCKING, they were wrong.

Let's see, Friday Logan was out of school. We went grocery shopping and to the library. He got a couple books and movies for the weekend. Cody, got to run around like a crazy man, for some reason he LOVES the poles at the library. He will always go to them and give them a big hug. He's weird! We came home and hung out the rest of the day. David came over so Logan and he played video games. Justin got home and fixed us hamburgers. Yum, he does a pretty good job of those...most of the time. After Cody went to bed, we all watched a movie and headed to bed.

Saturday Justin had to go into work for inventory. Yuck. He was not looking forward to it at all. And neither was I. It's nice to have someone else here sometimes to break up the routine. It rained all day so we were stuck inside. The boys and I went to the donut store. Cody, not a big fan of the donut, can you believe it? We ate there and then headed home. I got the beds stripped and changed and Logan worked on the Lego he got for Valentines day. Cody, just walked between us both trying to help. Justin FINALLY got home about 4:00. However, he and Logan alrady had plans to go to the Monster Truck Show. So they left promptly at 4:20. Which made Cody furious. And do I mean furious. He was so mad, I had to put him in the car and drive around just to get him to hush. When we came home, he was better, but still not great. I put him to bed early and watched a little tv. The boys got home about 7:30 and we had dinner and played some games.

Sunday, we went to church. Cody hated it this time. So Justin really went to church. I stayed with Cody for probably half of it. We came home and Cody headed for bed. When he woke up he went to Tulsa. We went to Academy and got me some new shoes. I have been really needing some new tennis shoes so I finally found some and used my Christmas card! I also found a couple shirts that were on sale for $3.99...so I bought several. After that we were going to go play somewhere, but everywhere was crowded. It was a nice day besides the wind. So we went to Baskin Robbins instead. I got their peanut butter chocolate...my favorite. Then he went home and just hung out the rest of the day and played some games. Cody had a rough night. Woke up again at 12:01 and screamed until about 2 something. I tried to hold him, but he's not really into that, so I just had to let him scream. And man, he screams loud. So needless to say, I'm a little tired, but obviously not as much as him, cause he's still asleep. Thank the lord.

Well, I'm off to go welcome in another Monday. Hope you all had a great weekend and I'll talk to you soon. Love and miss you all!

So pretty...

Well, as you can see from the pictures, yesterday was pretty nice here. It was 72 degrees after school, so needless to say, we were outside. In fact, the whole neighborhood was. By that I mean the other house on the block! :0) I'm hillarious. They kids played on the trampoline, which Cody LOVES, I think we're going to have to find one of those enclosures for it to make me feel better. They also played a little baseball and soccer. Even Bo's friend Domino came over to play, you can see them relaxing under the trampoline in one picture.

Let's see what else. Logan had his Valentine's Day party yesterday at school. They had pizza and frosted cookies and LOTS of Valentine candy. He really enjoyed it he said. Except next year he wasn't getting Valentines he had to make. This year he picked out bobbleheads and after you give them away, they kids tear them out and create. The kids loved it he said, except they all wanted him to help. Not his idea of fun, I guess. After school the money he got was burning a hole in his pocket, so we went to the store. He got another Webkinz. Those things are addictive I think. He got a Pug dog one and named it "T-Bone." (For those of you who watched Seinfeld, you know how to say it properly) We then went to the library and picked up some new books and movies for the weekend. He is off school today, so maybe he'll read a little today too.

Cody had a great day again yesterday...what's going on here huh? He has fully switched over to one nap a day, most of the time they are an hour and a half to two and a half hours. Who would have ever thought that was going to happen? Not me, that's for sure! He LOVES to be outside, and the only problem with letting him go out there is that he is HORRIBLE when he comes inside. Screams and yells at me that he wants to go back out. And boy he's in for a surpise today, because the high is only supposed to be 38 degrees with snow. Can you believe it? This place is crazy, I am sooooo ready for some constant weather.

Justin a little on Saturday because it's inventory. He is really enjoying his job still. He just picked up another HUGE customer so he's pretty pumped about that too. They have made over their goal all three months he's been in charge and are projected to do $60,000 over it this month. He's really proud, which he should be.

Me? I'm in desperate need of a haircut. I know, I got one just awhile ago, but it's grown a lot! I'm going shorter and spunkier this time...wish me luck. Well, actually it's not until next Friday so you can hold off on that.

I'm off to start the day. Hope you all have a great day, remember, It's Friday!!!! Love and miss you all!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello all! Well Happy V Day! Logan and Cody started out this morning with surprise valentines. Grammy sent them both a card and some money to buy anything they wanted. Logan is wanting to buy another Webkinz or Lego, Cody is wanting a different shade of lipstick and maybe some eyeshadow. JUST KIDDING. Justin would die if he read that. I think I'll go get Cody a fishing pole thing he played with next door. It has a magnet on the end and it catched fish. Very fun.

Logan also got a new lego car to build. Started his day off right! And he has a Valentine's day party at school today, and no school tomorrow! They were supposed to have Monday off too, but they are having school to make up for the week they were out with no power. He got his box all decorated and was very proud. He wrapped it in white paper and then printed a TON of pictures off the internet of things he likes. It wasn't very Valentiney but, it was cute.

Cody and I are having a good day so far. He is really coming around...I know, I'll say that today, and tomorrow I'll be looking for people to take him. But, honestly, he's very fun. He's got such a personality already, I can't wait until he figures out I'm in charge though.

I cancelled my root canal. I'm gonna tell you something that I have only told a few people because it's embarrassing. Ok, here goes...when I went to the dentist and she was flossing me, she asked how often I do it, I said, not enough because I get frustrated because it's so tight and the floss gets caught. She suggested a type of floss that would be good for me, which is what she used. So she used it, and it got caught. So she kept going and it took forever, and the tooth that is "dying" well, between it was a piece of random floss that was stuck. Lord knows for how long. So she yanked it out with floss and those big pick things. Gross, I said, how embarrassing...at least I floss she said. Anyway, ever since that appointment, my tooth has been fine. So I'm gonna wait and see if it stays fine or what, I'm wondering if the floss was aggrivating it. She said she didn't see any problem on the x-ray with the tooth, but because the filling was so big, she thought it was dying. So when I called and told her it wasn't hurting anymore, she said she'd wait it out too. So there it is, my horribly disgusting story of leftover floss.

Well, I'm off to put Cody to bed for a nap, hopefully! Love and miss you all!

There are no words to describe...

There are no words to describe the trouble Cody is...pictures say it in a thousand words I couldn't.

As you can see, he found my lipstick. I was making dinner and he got into my purse. He had his back to me just playing, everyonce and awhile he would giggle. He had some Little People toys around him, so I just thought he was playing. It wasn't until he came over to me with a big ol' lipstick grin that I knew...I knew he was trouble. Justin was most mad about the fact that he knew where to put it. He however was SO very proud. Just talked and told me all about how he got down my purse took it out and then turned around and put it on. I about washed it off but then decided that you all would enjoy it. So, there you go...another "mother of the year" award for Angie.

Other than that excitment, nothing much going on. Logan took some tests again this week at school. He said these were easy this time because the teacher read the questions to them. He also moved up a grade level in his reading. He's the only one in his class, so he was pretty proud. He's always been at the head of the class, but for sure now. That was all he talked about yesterday, however, it comes with some cons too. He has doubled his spelling list and vocabulary list. That, he's not too excited about.

It is absolutely freezing here. They say Friday we might get more snow. Again, as you know, I don't trust them. So we'll see. I'm ready for Spring! That's really all from here for now. I'm sure today will bring lots more fun though. Love and miss you all!

Busy, busy

Well happy Monday all. I hope everyones weekend was wonderful! I know ours was. Let's start with Friday.

I took Cody to the doctor and sure enough, he's got an ear infectoin. And sure enough he acted like a totally different child. He walked in smiled, waved hi, went right over to the toys and started playing. When the nurse called us in, he walked right back plopped down on the scale and gave her the biggest, cheesiest grin ever. The doctor came in an examed him and Cody flirted it up big time. That boy absolutely drives me bananas. Why does he act like a complete wacky child for me, but for strangers it's all sunshine and roses??? So we leave and go pick up the prescription. Where we spent an hour and a half. I HATE WAL-MART. However it ended up being cheap so I can't complain too bad. Logan was a trooper waiting around. He showed Cody all the balloons they had out for Valentines day and bears and treats. We bought his valentines for his class, they are bobblehead cards. You fold them and theirs heads shake. Silly.

We've got to make a valentines box this week. I hope I have a shoe box or else he's using a big box that the diapers came in!!!

Saturday we got up and did some things around the house. Around nap time, we loaded up and headed to the big party for Russell in OKC. The drive there was awesome, Cody literally slept from about 4 minutes from our house to 4 minutes before we got to Grammy's. Dream car ride. Logan played his video game and read. We got to my moms and Russell was going down for a nap. So we hung out for awhile and got the decorations and stuff ready. Russell was so not interested in his presents it was funny. He would much rather just be able to play with what is already there. However, he did enjoy a cupcake, which his momma said he wouldn't. He's getting so big it's sad. He talks so much and just always on the go. I just saw him every once and awhile between the playings! (PS...I made that Elmo cake, can you believe it? I am awesome!) :-) It was soo nice to see my family. I really miss being around everyone. I really, really miss our Tuesday night dinners. But anywho...after the party we went to Ron and Ellens. She had fixed a big dinner and invited the famiy over. We had such a good time playing games and laughing. Laughing more than playing I think. I didn't see Logan but once that whole day I think. He was off and running with everyone! We had a rough night with Cody, I know imagine that...so we headed out early Sunday morning.

Sunday we just hung out at the house. We got home and put Cody down for a nap, because he didn't sleep the WHOLE way home. Just talked and then screamed! The rest of us got back in our pajamas and played games all day until Cody woke up. I am happy to say that I won most of them! Then we headed next door for David's birthday party. They had hot dogs and chicken wings. They were yummy. Again, never saw Logan and Cody thought he was the party. We then came home and got ready for bed. Long, tiring weekend.

Today I don't have much planned, just gonna clean up from the trip and hang out. Hopefully I can break Cody from thinking he has his own mind. I'm in charge here not him!!!! Love and miss you all!

Uh, oh

Hello all. We had a rough night here. Cody refused to go to sleep last night. Usually when he does that at night it means he's getting sick. I'm going to take him today to see if he's got another ear infection. It seems like every time he gets a new tooth, he gets and ear infection. So he was up until 9:30 or so and then was up again at 5. He's crabby and cranky and doesn't know what he wants. Of course usually when we go to the doctor he starts to smile and perform, but there is always something wrong. Just likes to make me look stupid for a little while.

I think we have sold the Escape. The lady is supposed to call Justin today to meet him with the money. She has called 3 times just to keep him updated on her loan procedure, so hopefully she's honest!

Logan is ready for the weekend. He can't wait to come to the birthday party! That's all he's talked about all week. And that he's had a sub all week. His teacher is at meetings all week. He's had one nice sub and the rest were not. They gave him homework! Can you believe it? Homework...the nerve :-)

Well that's all for now. I gotta go to Wal-Mart to get some stuff and then come home and clean. I love Fridays! Love and miss you all!

Redeemed myself

Well, last nights dinner was YUMMY. I made up for the horrible dinner Wednesday night. My family has faith again in my cooking skills and personally, I feel I have received redemtion. :-)

Let's see Cody and I had a fun day yesterday. We went to the library! And I let him walk instead of getting in a stroller. Why? Why? Why did I think that was a good idea??? He was a man on a mission...well, not really a mission, because he just walked around in circles and around book shelves and around poles and my favorite, around people working on the computer. He thought it was the "Cody Show." Of course everyone talked and smiled at him, which only encouraged this attention monster to show off even more. He just laughed and laughed, and when I tried to tell him it was time to go and pick him up, he RAN. And I mean RAN...that boy, he's trouble with a capital T!

Logan went home with a friend from school yesterday. They came back about 5 and played here for awhile. Cody loves it when the house has lots of people in it. So he chased them all around. Logan is such a good big brother. He is so patient and loving it's amazing. What a good boy. This morning, Cody woke up and Logan came in the room, and Cody just sat on his lap holding Logan for a good minute or two. Love, love, love.

Justin had to drive all over Oklahoma yesterday and Arkansas. He is a drive short so he had to do a route. Not his favorite thing, but he got to see some customers. I guess that's all. Love and miss you all!!!

Throw that recipe away!

Good morning all! Can you believe it's already Wednesday? This week has flown by. Or at least it has for us. Everything is great here. How about you? Yesterday was rainy pretty much all day. And I am sorry to say, I wish it was again today. That baby of mine, slept until 8 am, I had to wake him up...and then...he took a 2 hour nap. Who is that kid. So I'm guessing it's because of the sound of the rain. So, if I run into a genie in a lamp, guess what one of my wishes is????

Let's see. Yesterday Cody and I did lots of laundry. He has decided that it's fun to help load the dryer. I'll hand him stuff from the washer and he walks it over and tried to put it in the drier. Sometimes wet things are a little too heavy for him, so he throws them on the floor, defeating my purpose of cleaning. He has also learned to say "uh-oh" which is what he says when he drops food on the floor, or laundry, or "accidentially" eats some dog food. He is really becoming a flirt too. He will smile and wave at all the girls when we are out. Unless, they come up to him and touch him. He likes to admire from far away, not in his personal space.

Logan had another good day at school. They've been taking some tests so haven't read any Flat Stanley's lately. But he's excited to hear who is next. So far, Flat Stanley has: driven a golf cart, played poker, cleaned up storage, slid down the fire station pole, met the fire chief, ate lunch with Aunt Francis and Grandaddy, and played a little golf. That's one lucky guy! Our neighbor David came over the other night, he's been wrestling so we haven't seen him that much, and told Logan with it getting nice again, it's about time to start up fishing. Logan is ready!

I made quite possibly the worst dinner EVER last night. Horrible. It was so bad, I couldn't even smell it. I started to dry heave. Yes, I'm serious. Justin had to dump it out in the trash for me. He asked me to help but I couldn't b/c I was heaving so bad. It was nasty. Ugh, so he dumped it and then brought it in for me to clean the pot and I seriously thought about throwing it away instead of cleaning it. Disgusting. Even sitting here typing about it makes me a little sick feeling. Needless to say, that recipe is GONE...FOREVER. So we ended up having: frozen burritos, frozen pizza, blueberry muffins, taquitos and leftover lasagna. (I know you're thinking...mmmm, and that sounds yummy) Well, it was. Anything after that other stuff was better.

Ok, I'm off to get stuff started for the day. I hope everyone is doing great. Love to hear from you!!!! Love and miss you all

This weather...

Ok, what is going on with the weather? Yesterday we hit 82. Yup, 82. It was soooo nice out. Cody and I played outside while Logan was at school and then when Logan got home we went and worked some more on the garden. It was beautiful, we took a walk to the curb and played with our neighbors a while. Then I DRUG them both inside because I had to start dinner. Today? Different story. It started STORMING about 6:45 this morning. I mean storming. Winds, heavy rains, cold...ugh. Dreary day, because it's supposed to do this all day. I don't think we'll get any snow, but at least the weathermen got the rain right!

At school yesterday the travelling dentist came. Logan got his teeth checked. They said he's a "good" candidate for braces. Yuck. He was not too excited about that. But fortunately one of his friends has them, so maybe if he has to get them he'll at least know someone else with them. I hate braces. Actually I hated the casts you have to make of your teeth, that stuff tasted awful. I am pretty sure that will be a nightmare for the orthodontist with Logan. That boy doesn't even like Vicks vapo rub! Can you imagine. Horrible!

Cody is becoming very opinionated lately. And he makes sure you know what he feels. No question about it. He knows what he wants. And wants only that! I have my job cut out for me. But sooner or later he'll figure out I know what I want too, and I am soooo much more stubborn than him. Bring it on Cody, bring it on.

I've put in some pictures of the dodgeball game that occured in my living room. Yes, you read that right, in my living room. Pappy, Justin, Logan, and sometimes Cody had a ball. Literally. They through all 100 balls two or three times, just pegging each other. I did not enjoy it, and neither did the dogs. However, Cody thought it was the funniest thing. Boys...they are trouble!

Guess that's all from here. Love and miss you all!
