Drew eats cereal for the first time

Today at Sunday dinner, we decided to feed Drew rice cereal. He liked it- A LOT!!  He did a great job with eating too.  I made way too much in the bowl. It was about 4 oz. of formula and then I mixed in the cereal and made it nice and thick. No, I did [...]

Ghettofied moment with the Roofers, I felt like a real donkey…

On the morning of day 2, I awoke and headed straightway into Drew bedroom to get him. I opened up the blinds to let the sun shine in. As I looked outside, I happened to notice the dumpster that was parked in our driveway was full.  As I took a closer look, I noticed that [...]

How much does a new roof cost?

Our roof is done!  I am so happy with the new look.  It really makes our house look so different. We ran into a few issues. We told the guy that he would run into issues because he was dealing with us and we are “worst case scenario”. He just laughed.  Little did he know, [...]

New look for $5.00!

We went to Lowe’s the other as a family. Why as a family?  I really don’t know.  Every time we go to Lowe’s, Daniel and I walk away extremely stressed with at least one child, sometimes more.  Today we were definitely frustrated with more than one child.  To make that LONG story short-we survived and [...]

5 children in a car without injuiry, is it possible?

After church on Sunday, Daniel took all the kids to the car got them settled in and waited for me. He waited and waited and waited.  He decided to come back in to the chapel, get the baby and let me know that all the kids were in the car.  I was talking to a [...]

5 Quick updates-

1. Our roof is done- yeah! It looks great!  SLY CONSTRUCTION did a great job! If anyone is seriously considering getting their roof done this spring/summer I recommend them. They are good honest people. ( I will post a picture when the dumpster leaves the driveway) 2. We are still a 1 car family.  The [...]

D.A.R.E. Graduation

On Thursday afternoon I was invited to Zoey’s D.A.R.E graduation at school.  I also signed up to bring brownies. When she handed me the invitation  a few weeks ago,  she asked if I could come by myself and not bring any one (meaning her brothers).  I explained to her that I could not, but I [...]

St Patty’s Day Contraption

Last week Nolan was given an assignment in his first grade class to make a “leprechaun trap”.  Every year on the the 17th of March, a leprechaun sneaks into the 1st grade classroom.  Each year all of the students make a “trap” to try and catch the little creepy critter.  Nolan and I went out [...]

Breathing Treatments

I took some photos of one of Drew’s breathing treatments. He gets these wonderful treatments 4 times per day.  When  he gets better we slowly cut back.  My days are pretty much the same, day in and day out. I don’t do much too much but LIVE in my home. Thank goodness I like it. [...]

Drew – 4 months

I can’t believe Drew is 4 months already.  It’s crazy how quickly times goes by.  I remember clearly being 7,8,9 months pregnant with him.  My sleep was horrible and uncomfortable back then. He’s 4 months and it’s still horrible, but that’s my fault.  For instance last night he went to bed at 7:30pm-5am that’s great [...]
