Stayin Sane...Barely!

This blog is good, if not for any other reason then to feel like I am talking to someone who wants to listen, especially on those days where you think no one has heard a word you said....the kids.


This has been a CRAZY week! I think the kids are all on the road to happiness again, feeling pretty good, still extra cranky but over all feeling better. Now Kevin on the other hand is just getting sicker not better. I don't think you realize how much your husband helps out until he is completly out of comission. A blessing tonight and hopefully some more rest will help. Another doctor visit might be in order, especially coming from the man who never complains. This week has been especially hard, again I am way too pregnant to move at lightspeed and I am getting no rest. As they always say, this to shall pass! Sooner then later would be BETTER :)

It is funny watching the kids run a muck of the house, I swear every rule we have they have broken today....they must know, dad is too sick to get up and mom is slower than us, ha ha ha ha ... Can't you just see it! It is kind of funny, NOT REALLY, but kind of.

Watch out grandma, I keep telling Kevin if he gets any sicker we are transporting ourselves to your house this week, where you can take care of Kevin and let him rest quietly and I can take the kids to play somewhere else. Lets hope he gets well soon, or I think all sanity will be gone for good :)

HA HA

I now have two kids sitting on what lap burning up. It is ater 1am.....good thing I sat and relaxed before they got up :o) Have a great day/night!

Staying Busy

After having everyone home sick, I am excited to have gotten a nap in today while everyone was sleeping, so I can stay up tonight and take a needed break from everything. Putting together this slideshow has definatley allowed me to appreciate my family and my kids even more! Even when they seem to drive me crazy....that is the 9 months pregnant thing or sick kids for almost a week thing talking :)

As I have not been so great at writing this past month, here are some pics of what we've been up to since Valentines Day. Kevin took a Saturday off in Feburary and we went to the Kern County Museum. The kids love that place! They loved playing pioneers crossing the plains in their covered wagon, dressed up and all! We planted lettuce in the garden. We went to the park one Saturday for dinner, and flew kites with the kids, it was so windy the kites blew themselves, great for the kids. "Just grandma" came to visit on the train. The kids played Egg Hunt & Pirates out back, many times. We went to the Gage Easter Egg Hunt at our cousins! The kids had a blast. We went to visit grandma over part of Spring Break, they did not want to leave. We managed to decorate eggs & have a good Easter morning, despite all the high fevers, and crying. Just click the link below, to go to a slideshow...turn up the volume and enjoy...we'll give this a try. And remember to enjoy your kids :) I sure do.

Wish Grandma Lived Closer

It has been so tempting to contemplate moving closer to home latley, especially being very pregnant and having all three kids sick and miserable kids at the same time. All with the same virus, affecting each child differently. Not having enough arms to hold each child while they cry and wine is frustrating, so for that it would be so nice to live closer to grandma! When she came to visit a month ago, the kids fought over who would sit by her at the table, or on the couch. It is neat to see the love they have for grandma! We love you grandma, but it is good you are not too close, for you might catch our nasty germs! Did I mention Kevin came home sick today too.

These cute pics are when grandma rode the train down to visit for a night. I told the kids nothing about the visit, we just went to the library downtown next to the train station. We read some books and when we heard the trains whistle blow I told the kids we should go watch the trains... when the train stopped it was cute they kept asking who rides the trains, and then that is when Matthew noticed grandma. That was a very fun surprise for them.
