WHEN????

This little guy gives me so much joy in my life. I love the way he talks, his smile, and even his little quirks. My only problem is why won't he potty in the toilet. I am not saying he never does, he just is not interested in telling us. We have to constantly take him. I just want him to be half way interested. He will be three next month and I don't plan on having my three year old in pull-ups forever. I was looking back thru my posts and noticed we have been working on this thing for awhile now. I have decided I am officially the worst potty training mommy. Now I must say I did potty train my older two but they were both three. So maybe three is the magical number for my family. I was just hoping for a little more success this time around.

INTELLIGENDER TEST

I went ahead and decided to take the test. I was so sure it was going to be a girl, maybe I just wanted a girl so Stormie would have a sister. But I was wrong, this little test says "BOY", what is going on here we have had three boys already and will probably be another. Oh well I love my boys tremendously and would not trade them for the world.

Lee is ready to get some more tile tools for this one. I guess he is working on his own tile crew, Lord help my boys there life is planned out for them.

I am so sorry Stromie that its more than likely not going to be a girl, you are a one of a kind like me and Aunt Chantel. We will just pray that you luck out and get some wonderful sister-in-laws. If I keep trying for a girl I might end up with a dozen of kids and for some reason I don't have babies easily.

So now it is time to start thinking of a name for this little bundle of joy. I had the girl name picked and ready. I also made a deal with Lee that I name the girls and he names the boys. So I got to name one out of four so far and it looks like he gets this one to.

Well Trina, our set of boys will at least have playmates close to the same age.

STRAWBERRIES

Today was a wonderful day for me. I am hopping that I am on the upward end of this pregnancy. So we got up and went to town to run errands for the man (Lee) and get some groceries. We went to sam's and I found the mother load. The strawberries looked amazing. They are huge and a beautiful red, which to me means they will taste wonderful. So here is a picture of our wonderful dessert for this evening. I bought two batches and one I chopped up and put some sugar on to go over our angel food cake. This is one of my favorite desserts ever. Yummmmmyyy......It is wonderful...My husband made fun of me for posting about the strawberries, he said that everyone would know I am from Oklahoma for making such a big deal of this beautiful dessert. But I think it is a wonderful thing to post on..

Getting Organized!

Yesterday was such a busy day for us. We woke up early in the morning and had to empty our room so we could have carpet laid. As the room was getting cleaned out I looked around my living room and was wondering were did I have all of this stuff. My house was a mess, I felt like one of those houses on "Clean House". So I decided we would buy some bins from wal-mart and go thru some of this mess. So this morning is getting this mess cleaned up! So far I have gone thru my clothes and put up the stuff I don't wear and the stuff that doesn't feel as comfortable. My tummy is very sensitive, and nothing that restrains needs to be in there right.

My only problem is I can only work so long before I get plum wore out. I am so ready to feel like myself again. I am not one who normally stays home all the time, but lately I can't seem to get myself to do anything. My energy level is at a very low for me. But I am almost 12 weeks and I have high hopes of things getting much better.

On another note we also had our tax appointment yesterday and I must say this is such a huge relief to have done. Being self employed can get very stressful around this time of year.

SISTERS FOREVER

I have been getting a kick out of seeing "Raine's" pictures, so I decided I would re-post a story my dear sister wrote about us. These ladies are my sisters and I love them dearly. We had fun doing this and we had such a good laugh at our own expense.






When my sisters and I were born as conjoined triplets they thought that we would never lead a normal life, since our heads were fused together. My parents were told that in order to have us removed from one another, that the outcome could be so detrimental that we may not lead normal lives. My parents were terribly worried, after all, we were three beautiful little girls that all hoped to lead productive lives, and our parents wanted the best for us. Who can blame them for their concerns, right?




After a lot of thought my parents decided to do whatever it took to split us girls apart, and the rest is...well...history!



Chantel is the oldest of the three. She is the one who fought to make her presence into the world first! I know its hard to tell by looking at her now, but she is as strong as an ox. My parents said that she was the stubborn one, and had the hardest time bending her neck to fit the yoke.



My other sister, Trina, got all the looks. She is a hotty!! The only problem is that she knows it! When we go out in public with her, she has difficulty keeping those womanly wiles under control. The men just flock to her. Chantel and I have discussed how difficult it must be to keep that beauty from going to her head!



Then there is me! I am the brainiac! I ponder over deep subjects for whole seconds at a time. In fact, this photo has caught me in deep thought. I try not to intimidate others with my super mental powers, and so it's a constant battle to dumb my life down for others around me.

Anyway, my other sisters have blogs too, and if you want to learn more about them feel free to check out their links. We are all pretty amazing, and we are each other's number one fans!

Continuing on from the earlier post of us sisters...........

Eventually, us girls were ready to meet the men that we had always dreamed of. Like all young attractive girls we were ready to hit the dating scene in a BIG way. It didn't take us long to run into the men that we would, eventually, marry. Each one had qualities that we loved, admired and respected.


This is Dale. Chantel's main squeeze, and let me remind you that when she squeezes, Dale has a tough time getting out of her grasp. He is a happy go-lucky sort, although incredibly picky when it comes to his food. We believe its because he doesn't have much of a sniffer, but we would never dream of telling Chantel this. He is her hunky man that only eats eggs.



Trina met her match with Den. They are both wildly driven by love, and can't keep their lips off of each other. It can get down right embarassing when we are in public, but love makes you do funny things, they say. Their first date was sharing a plate of spaghetti.



Which of course leaves me to introduce my man! This guy can totally keep up with my mental capacities. We can chat for whole minutes at a time on any subject. I thought I was drawn to his good looks, but they are secondary to his intellect!


I do have to say that he doesn't always use discretion when admiring my sisters. Chantel caught him giving Trina a second glance, and slugged him right in the kisser!
You don't mess around with us sisters!


After being married in an amazing marriage, we were blessed with 3 beautiful children. This is Elisha! He is in a constant state of bliss. He couldn't bring us greater joy!


This is our princess, Stormie! I tell you right now, Daddy has a shotgun at the ready, on her behalf. She is one of those children who is easy to please, and finds a surprise around every corner.


Here is our baby, Samuel! He sits in this state for hours on end. He has been so easy to manage. Put him in front of the boob tube and he is content ALL day!

Re-Post

I was looking thru some of my past posts and realized that it has almost been a year since I started blogging. I must say I have loved it. I also love looking back thru my posts and seeing the different things that has happened. This is one of the first posts that I put on here and I still laugh every time read it. My sister-in-law Julie sent this to me, so thanks Julie for the laugh.



Lipstick in School -- Priceless!!
Ya gotta love this principal.

According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem.

A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.

That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick,they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

Every night the maintenance man would remove them and the next day the girls would put them back.

Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man.

She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night.

To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.

Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

There are teachers.... and then there are educators!


My sister-in-law sent this to my myspace and I got the biggest chuckle so I thought I would share with you guys.

My Love

I was looking thru my pictures and found this picture of me and Lee. And when I saw it I thought of all the wonderful things we have been thru. With out a shadow of a doubt I know that God put us together. Sometimes I think of my life before him and I thank God for giving me the life I have now. This is my best friend, my husband, the father of my children and the love of my life. He is a spiritual strength to me all the time. We have had trials come our way and they seem hard at the time but once there gone it seems like a breeze. With the grace of God we have been married 12 1/2 years had 4 children, one died at birth and now we are expecting another. One of the things I love most about my husband is watching him play, talk, teach and guide our children. I love how they get excited when he comes home from work. Thank you honey for always loving me. I love you!!!!
