Sometimes things just need to be told ....

There is a new "Jenn Reedy Fell Down" story. Soeyun you must know about this!

This past Friday night ... we had girl's night at my house. It was also to be a camp-out night for the kids. Lauren brought her tent over and we set it all up. Fun stuff for the kis! They all put their sleeping bags and pillows out there ...

Darkness came.

Jennifer decides it is time for a hide-n-seek in the dark game ... similar to Hide-the-Baby I'm thinking. She runs off into the darkness saying "Find Jenn Reedy".

THUMP!

"Oh, Jenn Reedy is Hurt" says Jenn Reedy.

Lauren looks to see what is the matter ...

Jennifer comes in, nice gray t-shirt now decorated with large grass stains ... grass embedded in her wrists and in her watch ... nice jeans now also adorned with the markings of green green grass. She also was bearing pain between two of her small toes....

This sight caused such hysteria it sent Lauren running to the bathroom to ... for lack of a better word ... pee.

I repeatedly asked Jenny if she was okay. Jenn Reedy didn't reply, just sat in my glider rocker ... stunned from her fall.

I told her the new look to her clothes could be a fashion statement.

Just how did this happen you ask? Ah ... rememeber the part about the tent being put up? Well, lots of tents have ropes that stretch out past the tent to secure it to the ground ... Yep ... that rope. And remember it was dark outside. Yep real dark.

Jenn Reedy did not see the rope. Jenn Reedy tripped.

She is okay though. She wanted to go home and change, but we made her stay. Grass stains could be a new look. No pattern is really ever the same. Grass green is a nice color ...

Okay, enough .... :)

Kennedy just said a VERY funny thing .... She came in the room in her nightgown to get a pair of undies. Now, in my house that usually means 'uh-oh', unless it is time to bathe or change our clothes. So I looked at her funny .... She said ...

"I didn't pee Entirely, just on my panties".

Ha! I giggled outloud! She said "Entirely". I love it when kids use big words, especially so early in the morning!!!

I am sooo proud of Mr. Koel Thomas Wilkinson at this moment! He brought me a diaper when he pooped his pants!!! He's sooo smart!!! I'm so excited! Of course I had to get his sisters in on the praise too. He's so proud of himself. We clapped and Woo-Hooed for him. He,he. I love 1 year olds!!! I mean, this stage is great! I love all my kids no matter their age, but 1 is fun!

Keenan is spending the night with Zaine or he would have been in on the fun too.

I gave Keenan a hair cut today. My oh my he is handsome if I do say so myself.

Death is a thief.

I just found out from my friend Jackie that her dad is dying. My heart aches for her. It is an expected outcome, but still hard, so hard. She asked for prayer for peace for her dad. I'm asking prayer for her peace too. She realizes it is time to let him go, but how to ... that is the question.

Jackie is one of those 'friends for life' of mine. I have a few of those and I know I am a very fortunate girl! Jackie and I lived on the same street in McAlester, Oklahoma for 6 years atleast. We rode bikes and played hard. That is a bonded friendship that will endure. I love her. I hate to hear that she is hurting. She lives in California ... in the Napa Valley area. We haven't seen each other in 8 years. Keenan was a baby I believe ... maybe he wasn't born yet ... it was either right before or right after when she moved from New England to California. She is my "Jax". My keychain is a gift from her. It is the only keychain I've ever had. It is a hand doing the "I love You" sign. It is very special to me. You know what makes me happy ??? Jackie loves Jesus! She and I have eternity to look forward to to spend together! THAT IS AWESOME! Thank you Lord! And please bless my friend and her family in this oh so trying time!

Childhood friendships are so special. These are also some people who should be aware that I have bribery photos of each from childhood!!!!!

First of all ... let me say this ... MOM, I would love it if you and Daddy would start leaving me comments! You tell me you read this ... but do you really?? Now, I'll know!!! He,he.

Pray for Kyle and I. We are in a rut. A business rut that complicates our marriage. I find myself being okay with him being gone all day. I don't have to listen to him when he's not here. And I'm sure he likes being gone so he doesn't get frustrated about "what isn't getting done". We just don't see eye to eye. I'm trying to follow instructions from Karen the Counselor about how to handle myself in our squabbles so that I don't lose myself and retreat. It just isn't fun to try to stay in the moment and express myself too.

I'm like that in so many of my relationships. Think about it ... if you know me well ... how often do I really truly express my opinion? Usually I don't. Peace is kept better that way. Of course, there's the flipside where I often am the giver ... and I get 'pushed' around in a sense. Do I mind? Sometimes. Usually peace is better than getting my opinion stated though.

I have lots of opinions. I believe most of them to be solid. However, there are some things I try not to have an opinion about. It just isn't worth it to me. I'm a peacemaker ... to a fault Karen says.

I just want to get along with everyone. I like most everybody I know. Truly.

My kiddies aren't feeling well. I'm experiencing the beginnings of a sore throat myself. Ned and Kadi are passed out asleep after the antihistimine I gave them. Koel is better ... he was sick most of the weekend. Sore Throat and Fever. But he is eating and drinking. Happy today.

Keenan is having a quiet day today. I've been working and taking care of the yard. The girls have been on the couch alll day. Koel has been wandering and not really bothering anyone. So, Keenan's been having a lovely time for himself. Drawing, watching cartoons, eating Chicken Noodle Soup ... his favorite. I'm glad for him.

Now he wants to get on the internet ... so I'm going to let him .........

Okay, so I didn't go to the Strawberry Festival. I called Lauren at 7:45, woke her up and she sounded like this ... "Whaddyou want?" ... He,he ... I found out the Strawberry Festival plans were later than I thought, so the kids and I went Garage Sale-ing with Pete. Hilarious!

This one house ... lots of stuff. We stopped because there was a couch. It was infact not so nice. One of the ladies told us there was more inside ... She wasn't kidding! The living room, the kitchen, and two bedrooms .... ONLY GARAGE SALE STUFF! CRAZY! I did make one GRANd find there! An Oster Blender for $2.00. Made sure it worked! Yippee! My big ol' find of the day. They had sooooo much! Too much. Jami and I were overwhelmed! So we quickly left after the blender. Keep in mind people ... too much can be just as bad as too little when it comes to garage sales!

Here is my list of purchases for the morning:

Oster Classic Blender .... $2.00
5 Navy Cafeteria trays like new ... $1.00 ... perfect for eating outside!
Tupperware Old Popcicle Sets ... $ .75 total
Rubbermaid Insulated Lunch Box (like new) for Kyle .... $2.00
3 Pairs of Electrician Gloves for Kyle ... great for using when he's doing Tree work!!! They were a total of $3.00!!!
Like new Cookie Sheet ... Teflon ... $ .50.
Baby girl ruffle butt panty for babies ... like new ... for Brandi ... $ .10!!!!
5 kids books for a total of $ .50.
3 Shelf organizer/bins stand for Keenan ... $2.00
Lawn Chair/Recliner .... $1.00
Soup Thermos for Kyle for winter ... $ .50 (like new)
Keenan got a Transformer Semi-Truck for ... $1.00
Kennedy got a rainbow slinky for ... $ .10.

We did fabulous!!!!

Pete found a tool set/flashlight New in the Box for $5.00.
AND a Metal Shelf unit for her laundry room ... for $4.00 NEw in the BOX!
At another sale she found ... a $10 Garden Ridge lamp for $1.50! AND ... her find of the morning ... an upholstered desk chair for ..... drum roll .... $1.00!!!

Boom!

We had a fabulous time!

Now imagine ... my Durango with Pete, Myself, my four children and all of the stuff minus the chair in it! Even more fun!!!! Pete went back for the chair later.

OH ... and when we got home there was a funny smell in the house ... so I took the trash out ... forgetting my keys were still in my hand. I felt them fly out as I put the trash in the toter ... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! So, yep ... Pete and I dug in the trash. We ended up turning it on its side and I had to crawl in and get them ... they were on the very bottom!!!! Naturally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEN ... I went to Shop N Save and filled up my deep freeze for $200!!! I'm very excited!!!!! That's like a month's worth of meals out there!!!! Fabulous!

Now I'm pooped. I originally just now wrote Poopled ... He,he ... Had to make note of that! IF you can't laugh at yourself ...

AND ... I bought PEE WEE's BIG ADVENTURE at Shop-N-Save. I'm going to watch it with Keenan tonight! He!!! Good times!

Okay, so I have some real concerns about Koel.

1) He won't say Mom, Momma, or Dadda.
2) He now has taken to shaking his head and somewhat saying No ... ALOT!
3) He must have selective hearing ... 3/4 of the time he doesn't 'hear' me.
4) Does he really just not hear me or does he not HEAR me?
5) When you want him to say 'please' he just sits down and cries.

I will be taking him on June 17 to get his hearing checked. I did not want to take Paige, Zaine, Keenan and Kennedy with me and have them sit in the waiting room at the hospital by themselves. They can't go in with me. AND I don't think it is fair to Lauren to watch ALL of those kids ... mine ... okay. So, on June 17, Lauren will keep just my kids and I will take Koel. That seems like an eternity away.

AH .....

This morning we are going to the Strawberry Festival. I'm very excited. I've never been before. It's 7:30 and I'm already up and ready to go. LIke a kid. I also am going to register Keenan, Kennedy, Kadi and Koel for the Summer Reading Program at the Library. Koel can even be in it! I just have to log the time I read to him and to Kadi! So cute!

I was in agony yesterday .... I checked out some novels from the library. So I read one on Thursday evening. It was good ... a bit too much detail me thinks. Then I picked up another one around 3:00 ish yesterday evening. Started out good....Victorian era, set in Cornwall. I thought ... Ah, right up my alley .... The story flowed very nicely. Except as I got closer and closer to the end .... the author was just not wrapping up the story lines. Then I reached the final page ... NOTHING WAS RESOLVED! NOTHING! AND, there's no mention of it being a book that is part of a SAGA or anything! Agony! Sheer Agony! What happens to Sprat and Denzil ??? Nice names I know. But I must know! BTW ... Sprat is better than Wilhemina which is her real name.
I finished that novel sometime after 6:00.

I started another around 7:00. A Mail Order Bride Christian Fiction Novel. I should know better. Why is Christian Fiction so often SOOOO cheesy? It's just not real life! The characters are SOOO not believable ... especially the men! I've never come across such a caring lot! Maybe I just know all the wrong people.

I actually check out three of these Mail Order Bride Books ... I just read so fast, that I don't want to keep going to the library ... so I got a bunch of books. Jami picked up one too. Hers is cheesy too. I said mine is Parmesan and hers is Mozzarella.

So, I finished it around 11:30. It was pleasing. And oh that there really were men out there like Dr. Quint Roberts!!!!!!! Tall, Handsome, A Doctor, Whose every WORD centers on Christ. Always sensitive, kind, putting everyone else before himself. If he were ONLY real!!!

He,he ...

June 2 ... I'm about to do a marvelous thing ... crawl into bed with a Victorian mystery romance novel. I just had to make note of it! I've already started the book, so I know I'll be up late ... s'okay though!

Tomorrow is Koel's hearing test. Pray for my baby.

Koel did a big boy thing tonight ... fell asleep in a big bed with his sisters. I'm very excited! For the last three days I've laid him in their room for naps on their beds ... and tonight ... no problem he fell right to sleep! Fantastic!

I just really want him to talk to me. Even 'Mama' would be great! Occasionally we get 'Uh-oh' ... but that's it. My mommy heart is concerned.

June is here! It doesn't seem real. Here are ten fun things about the beginning of June 2004 ...

1. I got to talk to Rhesa tonight!
2. Kimbra and Khiana are here to stay the night, on their way home from Nashville.
3. We had Moose-tracks Ice cream cones.
4. Lauren suggested we eat pizza to celebrate the end of school ... and we did!
5. Kyle made a lot of money today! Almost my house payment!
6. Kyle said he's going to go buy me a dishwasher ... with a check!!!!!
7. Zaine was polite twice today ... he held the door at the post office for a lady without being asked to! And ... he put something back on the shelf at Walmart without being asked to ... the Walmart lady was very impresed! Hoo-rah for Zaine!
8. Paige, Zaine, Kadi, Koel and I had Jack-in-the-Box for lunch!
9. My baby brother called me today! Okay so he's not a baby ... he's a guy with a Master's degree and almost a one year old baby of his own! Can it be???
10. Ned and Keenan are out of school for the summer!

BONUS: Jenny comes home tomorrow!

June ... is good. OH ... AND IT DIDN'T RAIN! For like the first day in a week! No storm today! Hoo-Hoo!

Can tomorrow really be June 1st? It seems unreal.

Today has been crazy fun. Yesterday was too. Danielle Speck was baptized after church yesterday ... we all headed over to New Covenant church for that ... then to Lankfords for Pizza with Danielle, her choice of food. Then to Specks before the storm hit for icecream Sundaes! We all sat glued to the TV weather reports while we ate our ice cream and the children played downstairs. We were all fine, but just a few block away a what seems to have been a tornado took part of the roof off the Viacom building and a part of a roof off of an apartment building, and knocked a tree over onto a moving SUV killing the driver. I saw the Viacom building today. Wierd stuff. Debris everywhere! We've had storms like this just about every night for nearly a week. Crazy weather. But the evening for us as a church family was very fun. We enjoyed being together during the storm.

Today was Memorial Day ... I started it off right by going to the Annual Memorial Day sale at Unique Thrift Store with Wendy. We had a blast! This year we didn't get there early to stand in line ... I took my stroller in as my cart. Found Kyle some really nice shirts and jeans. It's what I went for! Yeah!

Then, it was BBQ at the Lankfords. We were there from 2 to 8:00. In the backyard. The kids jumped and jumped on the trampoline. We all played cards and ate. Kyle, Jamie L., and I taught Darla to play Spades. THAT WAS HILARIOUS! I"m so glad we weren't playing by sandbag rules! She and I would have been in SO much trouble! What fun though! Greg played for Jamie for a while. I must say I rather enjoy playing with someone who likes to go Nil as much as I do ... and likes to try to set the person going nil. That was great!!!!

We had the Crossroads Marathon of Fun this weekend ... and we're topping it off by being in ANOTHER severe weather alert. It should be over about right now. Was to be over at 9:00.

Poor Koel is tuckered out and is FILTHY ... ah ... tomorrow he can bathe ...

Goodnight to May 2004. Thanks for a great time May ... it's been real!

I think the boys are attempting to take a nap ... however ... it's not gonna work ... methinks. Aren't they funny? Keenan is laughing even now watching me type this caption! Funny. Very funny! Koel however isn't so much caring about his picture ... he's hiding in my closet! Funny. 

Scruffy Angel ... isn't she? What a mess. Kadi really likes her. 

Nika Steele ... lovely isn't she? Just perfect. 

Kyle and I had a fabulous talk yesterday evening. He stayed home to chat with me as opposed to heading out to play. He told me he wouldn't mind playing Scrabble with me ... that he didn't mind losing ... he wanted to make me happy he said. We didn't end up playing ... because we TALKED and TALKED. It was nice. I was sooo happy.

The kids had their routine sleep in the living room night too. They love to stay up late on Friday nights and either sleep in the living room or in the den. I have to say I understand the draw of it ... I remember loving to sleep in our living room growing up ... especially when there was a fire in the fire place!

We are babysitting Nika and Angel this weekend. We are very happy to have Nika here ... Angel I'm not sure of ... They're both dogs by the way. Nika is the most lovely dog. She truly is lovely. In manner and appearance. I just love her. Angel is a scruffy little mess who loves to run away. She's on her chain while Nika gets to do pretty much whatever the heck she wants! My kids have been outside playing with both dogs pretty much the whole day. Maybe a dog would be good for us .... I just don't want to clean up poop ... and it WOULD become my job! No matter what Kyle or Keenan says ... I would end up doing it. All the same ... they love the doggies ... especially Koel. He is thrilled. He follows them both around just petting and petting. Too cute.

I think my favorite country singer of all time is Reba. Hands down. 'Not to mention' she and I are from the same neck of the woods ... we've had our hair done at the same place too! "HAIR 1" in McAlester, OK ... on Carl Albert Parkway. She's just so fabulous. She sang a new song, "Somebody" I think was it's name, tonight on the CMA awards ... it was wonderful. I just love her.

AND, I have to say even before the end of American Idol tonight ... I changed my mind about who should win....I have been pulling for Diana all along, but tonight was Fantasia's. So was last night. Man. That girl can sing! I teared up watching her cry at the end. Good stuff.

Tomorrow is the Fill a Bag sale at the Thrift Store. I'm taking Lindsay McKenna with me ... I'm excited to take her shopping. I know she'll enjoy it ... I just hope Kadi can be good! I'll go into it with a positive outlook! She'll be great and she'll enjoy herself too! There's some positive thinking!

Have I mentioned that I'm slowly making the changes of rooms around here? All of my clothes are in the girl's room, and all of their clothes are in here. Most of my office books and files are already in Keenan's room. I'm so excited at the upcoming changes! Keenan is very excited to move downstairs. I know he'll be fine ... Kyle will fall asleep down there most nights too ... so Keenan won't be alone. Kyle just can't turn off that TV. Course the shows he likes are on late ... The Shield for one ... and he works so hard during the day that before the shows are over he passes out. Kindof funny. I've so learned not to take his inability to come to bed personally. Doesn't mean I don't like it though ... just means I understand him.

Speaking of Kyle ... he fell off a ladder. First it was a tree last month. Now it was a ladder. His foot and ankle are sooo bruised. You should see them. AND he's limping. He has bruises on his butt too ... not that anyone needs to really know that. He probably should see Dr. Lischwe about it all ... he has an appointment on Tuesday ... I wonder if that's too long to wait. Hmmm.....

Tonight we had a bad storm come through around 7 p.m. The tornado sirens were going off and the TV went out ... we have satellite. The sky turned green, so the kids and I headed downstairs. Marty called, and I told him our TV was out and to please call if the news said anything about a Tornado. Keenan was trying to analyze the situation. Explaining how to act in a tornado and etc ... like I don't know .... sheesh ... grew up in Tornado alley! But, he's only 8 ... doesn't know that! Here's where I'm smiling as I write this. Kennedy was a wreck. She was very scared. I did my best to calm her and tell her we were just in the basement while the storm passed. No big deal. Marty called and said on the news there were cloud rotations sighted so I should keep the kids in the basement. About then my Satellite started working again ... all was well a few minutes later ... atleast for us ... lots of storm damage all over in other places. Kyle was out driving in the weather ... silly man! I didn't try to call him ... he needed to concentrate in that weather!


Heard that song "Red Neck Woman" ... I like it ... lots.

I'm patiently waiting for Koel to fall asleep ... his playpen is now in my room ... so I'm sitting here so I can continually say "lay down". Poor guy. He looks so sad, but he's soooo tired.

Okay ... so ....next week Jenny will be home! Yippee-Ki-O!! That's how an Oklahoma girl expresses excitement! ... I guess ... I really am just making that up. Not the being excited part ... that's real!! Excited to have Joe 'home' too.

The rain....O ... The rain ... PTL we haven't been hit by the hail that Creve Couer, Ladue and Kirkwood were ... on the news it looks like it snowed! Bizarre! We've just had the rain. Blessings! One of Kyle's clients though, Anne Rothschild, wasn't so fortunate. Her yard looks like a demolition crew came through she says. Kyle just did some work there last week. Goodness ...

Okay, so Koel is now just laying still ... not asleep, but almost ....

Here is a statement that many people will not believe ....

I think I'm done with Ebay. I have a few auctions closing this week ... but really it exhausts me ...

Did I mention that when Koel is asleep ... Kadi, Lindsay and I are going to have Belgium Chocolate Ice Cream Cones !!!!! Mmmmmm .....

Keenan got his name on the board for the very first time yesterday. He couldn't really explain to us why. Oh how he cried though. My heart hurt for him. I reminded him that Tyler gets his name on the board practically everyday ... but that was no excuse for Keenan to do it more often. I said, just shake it off and do better tomorrow. It's only one time.

Kennedy is having a special lunch with the Principal today. All the kids who collected 100 Buder Bee's this year get to have a Happy Meal with Mrs. Taylor. Kennedy was soooo excited about her chicken nugget meal! Buder Bee's are what you get when you do something nice/special/good.... I think. They're a reward for behavior/achievements ... I do know that much! I'm proud of her.

I found this most interesting plant today! It is called Ornamental Pepper Explosive Ember ... In other words ... Purple Pepper Plant. Say that three times fast. Apparently it is a recent cultivar grown especially for its color ... purple and red fruit AND grown for its HOT flavor. Apparently it is part of the hispanic influence coming into our lives. Fine with me. I'm very excited about it. I bought one for me and one for Lauren. She was just as excited as I was ... it is strikingly beautiful up close. Purple-tinted leaves and purple flowers AND purple peppers that will turn red when ready ... FABULOUS! 

Okay, so it's bedtime and I'm not looking forward to putting Koel down. Last night he got out of his playpen 10 times. Each time he was swatted and put back in bed. He just kept getting out ... he is impervious to pain! That boy! SO ... Kyle and I were both tired, so we turned off all the lights, and got into bed ... here came Koel padding around the house .... he looked at us, but of course, we were "asleep". So he climbed up to the computer and banged his heart out. It was off .... fortunately. Then he wandered around the house. It was all I could do to keep from giggling. Finally I had had enough, so I moved his playpen beside my side of the bed ... from the other room ... I laid him in it ... and he went right to sleep. Kyle and I figure we're in for a while of him wanting to sleep near us. That's okay. Each child has gone through that at different times in their lives ... this is just a bit early.
It is 10:35 ... I probably should go get him and put him to bed in here. What a mess pot. A cute one though.
OH ... and today at naptime, I had to drive him around to get him to sleep. ARGH! I think tomorrow I will lay down with him. That's gotta be the way ... for now.
Good night to all ....

I"m really exhausted, but I must write about my evening. Lauren and I took Kelsey, Justin, Kennedy and Kadi to the Magic House. What fun! I had never been there. So, for a couple of hours we wandered around and played. The children were all very good. It was really a very pleasant evening ... topped off by icecream cones at McDonalds. Fabulous.
Really ... icecream cones at McDonald's are the best. They're low in fat, they taste good, and they're like $.79. You can't beat feeding 6 people for $5 on icecream! The perfect end to a perfect time.
And that drive down Lindbergh in a van with the windows all rolled down ... plus runner lights on inside the van ... good stuff. I feel very peaceful about my evening.
After we got back to my house, Lauren and the kids hung out for a bit. I've never seen Justin, Kadi and Keenan have so much fun together! They wrestled and chased. Good stuff.
AND ... Keenan and Kelsey ... now this is weird ... played gameboy together tonight. Like they totally shared! They never even get along really. AND they did a workbook page together! Bizarre ... but very acceptable! I like this getting along thing!
Kennedy passed out on the couch in the midst of all the hoop-la.
Koel passed out kisses or sugar to Kadi and Justin back and forth for a while too. That was pretty funny! He's such a doll baby.
AND ... I found out today that Keenan wrote Raina another little 'love' note about a month ago. Her mom overheard her tell someone, so she asked her about it. Raina said she had been hiding it ... she's very shy. Hilarious! Kristen said it read like a Hallmark card ... "From my heart to yours ... " and I don't remember what else... I was stuck on that first part! Keenan! Hilarious! And oh, Raina is a cutie! They just kindof smile at each other but never really talk. Too funny!
It has been one long but very fun day.
Field day was wonderful. Very well planned. I took lots of pictures for Mrs. Resimius and at 11:30 came home so Koel could nap ... so I printed the pics off and took them back up there at 3:00 ... the kids in Kennedy's class were soooo excited. What fun!
I have to say that being there at the school sometimes really affirms that I don't want to be a classroom teacher ... ever. I enjoy helping out ... but being in charge of all those kids ... nope. Nada. No way.
Tomorrow my goal is to clean clean clean this pig sty home of mine. I really need to figure out how to teach my kids to clean up after themselves. If I only lived here, this place would be CLEAN ... however, there are several other people who like to throw stuff everywhere. The prospect of tomorrow ... I'm just sleepy thinking about it!
OH ... another thing ... Koel put an entire roll of toilet paper in the toilet tonight! Kadi and Justine stood there laughing. Argh! I had to clean it out ... you can't flush that much t.p. ... and it wasn't exactly a clean bowl of water ......
AND ... when Kadi went to the potty before bed, she lifted the back off the tank of the toilet and set it back down really hard ... yep, a chunk fell off. I mean a triangular piece about 4" x 4" x 5". A chunk! Great ... now not only do I have broken appliances, I have a broken toilet tank lid. I'm becoming desperate! HELP ME!!!!!
Did I mention the good news I got from Dr. Hermann yesterday .... nope, not pregnant! But that's not the good news! .... New studies have shown that you can wear the Patch for 6 weeks in a row and skip half your periods!!!!!! Yippee!!!! I was stunned. So, we're gonna try it. I'll let ya know how it turns out ... ooo gross I know .. but hey ... good info for someone I'm sure.
I also don't even need to go in for appointments to get my Welbutrin. He'll send it home with one of my many pregnant friends who go there also. Isn't that just smashing???? It's a good thing having a good OB/GYN ... course having four babies is what will get you that status that I have with them too! He,he.
Okay, I keep thinking I'm going to quit writing ... I'm soooo tired.
So .... good night ....

Here is Keenan and Tristian ... now behind Keenan ... that's Raina ... Keenan's little crush! She's too cute and very sweet. I thought it was cute that she is standing with him. They had to be in rows of two. She stood behind Keenan! He,he. I know he was happy! 

Field Day @ Buder! Here's Kennedy all ready for the fun!
