Misc.

Here are the pictures of Emma's glasses as promised. Emma is always telling everyone, "don't you think I look 7 or 10?"

This picture is of her in the car on the way home from her eye docter. Doesn't she look excited?

And when I was taking Emma's picture, I hear "Chheeeessssseee" from the backseat, so I took this picture too! Isn't she cute here!

Poor Boog has such a bad reaction to bug bites! They usually get HUGE and ooze for a couple of days. This was taken friday morning. She had two bites that were actually on her temple but swelled her eye. She got the bites on weds night and she actually had a hard time opening her eye when she woke up on friday.

Cassidy is becoming just about as chipper in the mornings as Emma is, Can't you tell in this picture! Thats just what I need, two grouchy kids in the mornings!

Its that time again!

Happy Birthday toooo youuuuu...

Erin Robinson

Ellen Fryburger

and any one else out there with a birthday today!

I have a really hard time being in a good mood on my birthday! Not sure why, the age factor doesnt really depress me. I still feel really young compared to everyone else I hang out with. At least Myles remembered today, one less mark on his list. I had forgetten until he told me this morning!

I guess I just feel like its just another long day! I think once you have kids, its easier to just pretend like they are the only ones with birthdays.

My following...

I just wondered if I have a following? Anybody read this thing? Leave me a comment and let me know you are there!

C'mon now, its not that hard!

Just a little hello!

Please?

Four Eyes

I took Emma to the eye dr. yesterday. She has been getting headaches more than (I think) a little kid should get them. So they did a routine check, She did really good at first. She wasnt scared, but she began to get bored very quickly. He kept asking her if one or the other was better and she would just start reading the line. This one?...A O E N F...or This one? A O... No, just tell me if its better or not! I told him that at least not ALL of his patients are 5 years old! Luckily they have a machine that reads the eye and tells the prescription.



Turns out she is a little far sighted. He said that it wasnt too bad but it was bad enough that she would have to strain her eyes to focus. And *DING DING DING* that would cause headaches! She also has a slight astigmatism in one eye. He mentioned that her eyes could correct in couple years or she could become near sighted, but they would change.



I wish I would have taken her picture trying on the glasses, she looks so cute in them. She was very excited to get glasses. They didnt have anything to choose from that was even remotely girly other than purple...so Purple it is! We should have them within a week. I'll post a picture of her then.

Ellen's Horses (well, some of them)

Hulllooooo There Friend!

This is Sparky (which I think is SUCH an odd name for a hoss). He wants his picture to be taken very badly! In fact, he was posing quite nicely until ol' Lenroy (I think that is which one it is, Emma told me) stuck his arse in the way. Lenroy would step in front of Sparky every time I tried to take his picture. And really...Sparky just wants some love tooooo (that and a nice set of beard trimmers)

Ahhh yes....this is my good side!

Sugar Rush!

Here is a picture of Emma and Rayne at the fair. If you notice they couldn't even sit still long enough to take a decent picture. And Kaden...? He was a few rows up bouncing around, he couldnt be bothered with a picture! Now, we have hyper kids but last night at the fair, they were just plain NUTS. I mean we tried getting them stuff to eat, so that they would sit still, drinks because they were hot and thirsty from running around!

After a lot of eye-rolling and hollering and wondering what in the heck was the deal....Ellen, genius that she is, realizes...We have just fed our normally active children cotten candy, mt. dew and funnel cakes and then told them to sit down and shut up! HA, No wonder they were crazy.

I give us 5 stars as parents!

Gearing up

Well, its official. Myles and I bought a camper. It needs some TLC...and soap. Myles thinks we can have EVERYTHING ready to go by tonight....

Yeah anyways, that's probably not going to happen. I've got half of it cleaned and Myles and his dad put a new floor in under the couch (it was falling through the bottom of the camper, not good) Myles said he would go "clean" the rest of it while I was packing our stuff, or he could pack while I clean. Not sure which is scarier. Myles "getting all of the dirt, bugs, spiderwebs, miscellaneous crap" while he cleans, or him packing the appropriate items for Me, Him, Emma, and Cassidy for 3 days... I'm not really confident in either situation. But hey, its the thought that counts. I'm going to take some bleach, and pine sol, with me this weekend, that way maybe we can clean while we have spare time. I guess this way I can catch all of the spots he missed.

Anywhoo, I'm married to Mr. Right Now, so I'm sure the camper will end up at the river tomorrow.

I was thinking, It's no wonder some of our stuff looks the way it does...Mr. Right Now is married to the daughter of the King of Nigger Rigging....that must make me, Mrs. Half-Ass and Get It Over With!

Hey, at least I have a title!
