Here are a few pics from us going to the "Trunk or Treat" last Saturday. The kids had so much fun. Mahna as you will see, decided to be a racecar driver, after looking over the Party City ads. She stuck with it and it really is the perfect outfit, cuz she can wear comfy clothes underneath, and there is no 'headgear' to the costume. I will never understand why costume makers would think that

I am so sorry to all the people I didn't get to see at all or didn't spend a lot of time with. I only get to see Gold once a year and I really have to make the most of it. I rarely get a picture of him for an entire year and talking on the phone just is not that awesome when he is 10 and a boy and I am 29! So I am sorry, and please don't feel blown off. I feel very strongly about making a

My lovely friend CinCin got me this journal that is a 10 yr journal. I haven't been keeping up w/ it but I have sorta been keeping up w myspace. Seems like I can only do one or the other.Mahna and I have been reading lots o' books lately, which makes me really excited and hopeful for her educational future. She will sit thru entire books and chooses them over TV a lot lately. Cole is talking

I am sooooooo happy cuz I got my van today!!!!!!!!! It is so perfect, I love it. I will try to find time to post the pic tomorrow! Thank you Mommy and Daddy for the loan. :)I had a great day cuz my sissy poo Anna stayed w/ me last night and today (of her own free will) helped me clean my house and played w/ my kids and helped me grocery shop and water for Miss Di. It was such an enjoyable

Today my mama came and picked us up and let me use Anna's car cuz Jarrod was using the Altima, and watched the kids while I watered at Diane's and then visited Anna at the place she's at. We had a great time talking and I just love my sister so much. I felt the need to say that publicly. She is a super cool person, 10 yrs younger than I. I feel really blessed that with such an age gap, she is

Brent had to remind me how much I have changed in a few years. I swore a couple years ago how I would NEVER drive a van. I was determined to drive a 2 door mustang no matter WHAT! I had two carseats in one at one time. LOL. Okay, well now I like to tote around my nieces and their friends. Or I like to take my friend and her two kids places like the arboretum which is 40 min away. It is

Jarrod bought me a van!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been wanting one for sooooooo long, so I can take my nieces and their friends and mahna and her friends etc........ around here and there. Now I can! Plus I haven't had my own vehicle for like two years! I finally will! I can give my parents car back and have A/C that works!!! I am so excited I can't stop smiling! Mahna kept saying "I wish we had

Babies are offering free botox you know. Any baby or kid will be happy to sling their head back and whack you in the lip to create that lovely puffy lip thing many women pay high bucks for. Happened to me today. Wow do I look great!And I was laying down with Cole tonight to put him to sleep and I realized that although I am tied down at these times, I feel quite free. Why, do you ask?

we went to lara's wedding yesterday and it was very purdy. i saw a lady there who fired me a while back. she was a devilish psycho, so i am glad she canned me. i have only gotten fired from her I think..... anyway it was a very purdy wedding. I was smiling the whole time. Jarrod and Mahna came, too, which was great lovey fun. It was cool to hear the vows in a different way (they were worded

I am ready to feel 'great' again. I am still deadish feeling and sweaty even tho, no fever. Got the results of my test back today and it was a raging "YES" you had a severe kidney infection. I had pretty much realized that by now, but tests are good. Especially when you pay cash money for them. LOL. Jarrod and I are both getting sore throats and Mahna has had a cough so it's like oh here is

My body temperature returned to a normal numeric digital read out last night. The first time in SIX days! It felt like I could do anything all of a sudden. Ugh, except I jump up to do something and have this hella pain in my ribs and side. And a wierd thing, too. My fever went away and I had like a sweep of anxiety that lasted a couple of hours. I sort of felt like I just came out of a coma

(this was written Tuesday)I have had a fever of 102.7 since thurs night and its crazy horrid having a fever. I can’t even remember the last time I did. It breaks at least once a day and I sweat buckets and it goes down to about 100.7 then inches back up. I also have a headache that feels like an exploding mushroom helmet. This morning it was 103.4 so I started calling my OB because I also

I think that one day I will be at Walmart getting groceries alone, and think, "this cashier doesn't even know I have kids". Seems funny, but I rarely, if ever go to the store alone. And it usually starts out as a peaceful jaunt. Of course I have to mentally insist on always going to Walmart, so I can pick up some socks or get the babyfood for 10 cents less, the laundry soap for a dollar less..

Jeez it is one a.m. and I should be tired but I drank coffee at 10 pm like I knew I shouldn't. I took a shower at midnight and really don't want to blowdry my hair nor do I want to go to bed w/ it wet. I did a couple loads of laundry and need to do three more. I visited the dentist this past week and found out my TMJ is worse than I thought and I have worn enamel off two of my molars.

Anyone remember that Baz Luhrman "song" that came out like 10 or less yrs ago. "Wear Sunscreen". They seem to replay it around graduation time but I heard it today. It is cool to hear like once a year because different parts of it strike me in a different way. This time when I heard it, I noticed the part that says "don't depend on anyone to support you, you may have a trust fund, you may

I can't believe how buzy I stay. It is wierd, when I stop and think about it. The computer is my outlet, my vice, and I barely have had more than once a week to check it. Right now I am risking it cuz the kids are running free playing or fighting together in the living room while I take two seconds to blog in my bedroom. I miss my laptop, having the freedom of it ya know. But it got fried

I love Cops Ok not all cops, but today I was leaving my gma's apartment, I called Jarrod to excitedly tell him some good news (remind me to mention that later) and I pull to a 4 way stop and see a cop which triggers my memory of not yet putting on my seatbelt. I jerk it on, and of course he saw me and pulled me over. He says I am pulling you over for no seatbelt, I said yes I know I just left

My grandma is turning 80 on Sunday and my mom is throwing a party for her. We sent out 150 invites and so far 85 are coming. In the invites we asked people to send in a memory of my grandma to me or my mom for a scrapbook. We had no idea what it would become. It is the largest scrapbook I have ever seen. It is about 100 pages of notes, cards, poems, pictures and letters saying thank you or I

I read Frankys last two blogs this morning and it inspired me to write something. Some days I open up blogger.com and just look at this blank slate thinking "what do I say?". At one time it came so naturally. I woke up this morning at 4:55 a.m. and could not go back to sleep. I thought about working out, cleaning the house, catching up on blog reading.

Thanks to my tiny little sister, I finally know how to put links and pictures on my blog.... Don't be offended that your link is not there yet, I am still collecting web addresses and just doing a lil bit here and there. My time is spread thin. Cole is doing fine, his hemotoma is almost gone. The DR said it could take up to 6 mos to dissolve completely. I am just relieved it was no big deal.

Thursday we went to the mall to get Cole's pic taken. He is 6 mo. old now. We rented one of those $5 strollers that looks like a car, b/c I forgot Cole's stroller and Mahna has always wanted one. Well he can't sit up all the way and was really doing well leaning back in one corner of it, but along the way somewhere he pulled himself forward and must have bonked the side of his head. I didn't

The kids were great and it was a really peaceful time with my gma and her friend and my parents. Mahna and "grandad" are so cute together.

Lucky us it was overcast and we got to stay several hours. There were sooooo many ducks and some of them are unbelievably huge! We fed them a whole box of crackers and they were still hungry. There were a lot of other cool

I sometimes like to brag about how hot my huz is. I like this pic of he and his momma at the 'family reunion' a few weeks back. Can you believe that woman is over 50 and has 4 kids?

Happy Anniversary to Jarrod and I. At 3 pm. today it will be the end of our 7th year married. I won't gush on here about the things I think and feel, for those are better said to him today.Anything to share? (comment!) I have heard a few wives tales of the 7 year itch and 'if u can make it past 7 you can make it'........

Ugh, it is too early. I went to bed after 2 a.m. Mahna went to bed around 1:00 as did my nieces who stayed the night. I was expecting to sleep in til the last second before church this morning. So much for that! Mahna was up a little before 8. I guess that means she will take a good nap today but man I really wanted to sleep this morning. I did get some sugar free french vanilla creamer

Ok, well the meeting went very well. I amjust horribly impatient, and he will not start being this bank's courier service until AUGUST!!!! That is two months, becuz they have to give their current service two month cancellation notice. Bummer, but ok. It will be awesome once it starts.

Kendra is moving to Colorado tomorrow. She will be here for this evening, but no longer a "temporary Texan". So sad that I won't get to see you play with my kiddos as much or do fun crafty stuff with you on your weekend visits. Good luck, though! You will love Fort Collins, I bet.

Saturday we took Mahna to her first baseball game. Granted she is little young...only 2 1/2 but she had a ball. She clapped when everyone clapped. She got to eat ice cream out of mini baseball cap and tried cotton candy for the first time. I wish I could have captured a picture of her face after that first bite. It was like total suprise that such a wierd thing would taste so yummy! We

Mahna got an easel from grandma yesterday, so first thing when she wakes up this morning she wants to "paint a picture for grandma". I was nervous at first thinking what a mess I was about to have on my hands. I held my tongue giving her the paintbrush. I suppressed my control issues and decided to just let her figure out "how to paint" by herself. She did awesome! Of course every parent

For anyone who doesn't know, Jarrod got fired a couple of weeks ago from his job. We immediately started researching starting our own courier business. I would like to happily announce we now own an LLC (limited liability corporation) called "Able Couriers" and have secured our first (and almost second) customer. We are both really excited and optimistic about a future that once seemed bleak (

We watched Happy Feet and that is the happiest movie I have ever seen! If you need to be cheered up you should check it out. I would have never watched it if my mom hadn't bought it for Mahna.To sum it up: A dancing penquin makes a difference.

I love the pic of my mom and gma together. They look so purdy! The reason for the van pic is to say, "so long, farewell.....I will miss you black minivan, and Mahna will miss watching her videos". Mahna and Jarrod on the tricycles is two nights ago when Mahna learned to ride the bike!!! She is 2 1/2 yrs old! I am quite impressed by her. And we are quite proud of the gift we got for Cole....

We went to the Dallas Arboretum on Sunday. If you haven't ever been, it is something you really have to experience. It is so beautiful there. It is a really peaceful way to hang out with friends or family or show a visitor something outdoors` in Dallas. Hope u like our pics!

Thanks Joye for the compliment. I feel silly now that I realize I posted a bunch of pictures of myself! I just thought I should post something so I grabbed a few pics. I guess subconsciously I am quite self centered haha. (Maybe not so subconsciously)The pic of the girl hugging me is my friend Jana after her wedding. I wish I had a pic of Jarrod and I at the wedding cuz he looked veryyyy

Okay I actually sat down and watched the last two quarters of the Mavericks vs Suns game last night on the couch with Jarrod. Mahna had already fell asleep watching the "newer" version of Annie. Cole and I were playing on the couch and I started getting really into the dumb game. It went into DOUBLE overtime. Then the Suns won at the last minute. All those players must get so tired after

Ok I am tired of looking at that same dumb blog about me getting shnockered. HAHA. I have been keeping my neices the last few days after school and its been lots o fun. Mahna's friend Lexi came over today and tomorrow we are suppose to meet another friend at the park. I like getting her to socialize a little bit cuz she is still in a phaze of not sharing or playing too well with others.I

I went to my friend's wedding/reception tonight. It was so much fun and I met some fun new people. My dearest most lovely mom and grandma watched the kiddos. It was a LONG babysitting stint and I really know that all moments of it were not the most fun with Cole, so I greatly appreciate it. I promised Jarrod I wouldn't get too intoxicated, so limit it to two drinks. I had two glasses of

When Mahna pees her pants KNOWING she is not suppose to she will say "Mommy, you so happy?" and I instantly know what she has done. So far, telling her that it makes me sad when she pottys in her pants doesn't really seem to affect her. But I think it is so cute how she says "you so happy?"I got a haircut and I don't really like it but it was sort of drastic, I got bangs, so I am hoping I need

Okay, I think I might be over this depression hump that was driving me bonkers. I guess the truth is if you just get out of the house for a few hours you can feel 100 times better. I never thought it could be that "easy". Of course Jarrod had to be bribed, but he agreed to watch both kids (gma and GG weren't available) for a few hours on Saturday. Well I left at 10:30 and didn't get back until

But I am unable to speak at the moment. As much as I wish this blog was a "journal" I can't really just spill it all out here. I am too afraid of the reaction to my real thoughts. So maybe I just blab about something here and there but I'm feeling depressed these days. I will just leave it at that.

Wow, what a whirlwind week we had. Jarrod had a 3 day weekend so that was cool (last wknd) then my long lost cuzin Ryan and his g/f came Monday, left Tuesday to go see the ocean. Tuesday, Mahna, Cole, Me, Mom and Anna drove to Austin to see Kendra. Cole screamed most of the way there and well although it was fun to 'be' in Austin and to see Kendra's new apartment and her jobby job, I found out

I just think that guilt trips are the worst way of communication. Granted, you can get things accomplished a lot of times with guilt, but really truly it just makes the giver and taker feel like crap. I intend to make a very conscious effort to not use guilt and avoid people who do.Just come out and say what your thinking, dammit. Shock me! Today I really need it.

All of our wedding pics kinda sucked except for this one. We had a great photographer, but we were both just nervous wrecks I guess. Shoulda had a drink before the wedding. This is the only one I like and it sort of represents us now, too. If we are in sync the world couldn't be better and it's like we already knew that is how it would always be....... way back then.

HAPPY FRIDAY! I guess each person celebrates Friday for a different reason. To some it is knowing they are about to have a break from their jobs for a couple of days. As a mom I don't see it that way. I see it as we are about to have Jarrod here with us all weekend which means a totally different daily schedule. Sometimes lots of sleeping in and staying up late, sometimes big yummy Saturday

The first picture I call HOT STUFF! :) The second one represents Mahna's dear attitude toward her brother. He screams all the time, he hates breathing treatments and he is colicky. She never minds his crying and is always saying "i love u so much Cole". She is a precious child. I am thankful today becuz...... My taxes are finished! We are getting money back!

You know I don't really think that TV makes kids less intelligent. There are so many educational preschool shows on tv. I feel like Mahna has gotten a lot of different play ideas from the shows she has watched. I mean, I do think it needs to be limited, cuz Mahna would pretty much sit on the couch all day somedays if I let her. But she also has a cute Little Tykes slide (good idea mom) in the

I am bummed cuz I had to miss Tivany's going away dinner last night. I can't take Cole in public places yet and it really just doesn't work to leave him with a babysitter (family of course) even for a couple hours. He eats sometimes every hour and is still a little young for getting used to bottle and breast. Now I am afraid we are going to have to miss the super bowl party next weekend too.

But I do wish I could get online more without cutting into my sleep time haha.Today lots of loads of laundry, breathing treatments for Cole, still trying to get Cole's insurance situated, Call the DR for more samples of steroid for breathing machine, Bake a cake for Jarrod, pick up mahnas toys,

Thanks for all the prayers. I sat in the hospital thinking that it would be all the prayers that would make the difference. It's so scary having a two week old baby hooked to machines, and breathing oxegyn. It's wierd, looking back, because the day of my c section I was having major major anxiety. So bad I turned white, almost puked, almost passed out... Anyway I am not a person prone to

Home, sweet home. I couldn't have been happier when we drove up at 6 pm last night. There couldn't be a warmer feeling than having both of my babies and Jarrod all of us home together again. I am so thankful that Cole finally got better enough to leave the hospital after a 7 day stay. I had my moments during this week of crying out of frustration that he just was not improving. I had to

It pours. Cole was diagnosed with RSV on Tuesday afternoon, at the emergency room. This is a virus which can be mild to severe and require hospitalization. So far he is on the line. We are going again to the DR this morning to have his oxegyn saturation levels checked to see if he needs hospitalized. Please pray for him.Our heater went out or locked up yesterday. I am calling our home

I don't know what to write. It's not like there is "nothing" going on in my life. I just don't know what to say or how to say it. If I start in about my incision issue I will sit here and whine about it, and that is pretty much on my mind all the time, so what else can I say? Cole is awesome. He is so adorable and I am truly treasuring every minute with him as I know he will grow very fast.

Howdy readers. Thanks for the comments. My sweet little babykins is one week old now. And what a crazy week it has been..... He was born Thursday, we came home Saturday. Could have stayed til Monday but it was lonely and HOSPITALS SUCK. By the time we got home Mahna was pretty sick with fever and a bad cough. Lots of crying and not a lot of sleeping. Holiday weekend so we couldn't take her to the

I have never been able to spell that word right (tomorrow). Did I? I can't remember if I ever got it down correctly in my head or not.Well I am madly crazily cleaning my house (in between many sitting breaks) and doing all the laundry that has acquired. I am a nervous wreck about my c section tomorrow (that word again). All normal worries that any woman has, will my baby be ok? will everyone

Jarrod and I did a rare thing last night. We went to a MOVIE at a THEATER. Oh and we realized why we never do this...... 2 tickets, small popcorn and a coke $26. THAT IS NUTS!!!!!!! The tickets at Grapevine Mills mall are $9 now. Jeez! Well anyway it was truly nice to get out with him. I can't tell if he realizes it as much as I do, but we really hardly get time just to ourselves, but

Time is flying by! Oh my gosh only 9 days (well less than that) until Cole is born! Mahna and I have been making the most of our days together. Although I get grumpy with her here and there I think we are really making the most of our few moments left alone together. Yesterday we spent the day with my mom which was fun and today we spent the day with Jarrod's mom, which is a very rare treat.

I was just re-reading my posts from a few days before Mahna was born. It is funny how I was feeling a lot of the same things then that I am now. And this time I keep thinking that everything is sooo much more uncomfortable this time etc etc. I do think well know that I am bigger this time so I am hoping that means a bigger baby (Mahna weighed 7 lbs) and not just that I am more of a heffer this

Well I still haven't called my long lost friend. It is just nice to know that I "can" now, I guess.Mahna and I went to Southlake town square w/ my mom and gma last night. It is a really pretty peaceful place. All the lights and the fountain were really cool. We also went to a groovacious toy store called The Owl's Nest which I could have dropped a couple hundred bucks in last night easily. I

Okay something strange is going on. I am 37 weeks pregnant, 2 wks and 2 days from Cole being born and I am feeling really great.... physically. This seems very strange. My back is not hurting, I don't feel nausous, etc... Now mentally I am a little SNAPPY here and there but even that is better than I seem to remember before. How wierd! But I am glad!My neices and mother in law came over for
