So yesterday I said I was going to get this thing updated. Then I spent WAY TOO much time creating a (very cute I might say) collage of pictures from Callee's party for my last post. Just to upload it and it didn't work. It just very plainly placed my photos in a line. So I got frustrated and signed off. But now it 4:59am and I can't sleep so why not try to finish this thing, right??
Well for the past 6 days...yes I said 6 WHOLE DAYS my entire family has gotten the stomach virus. Thank the good Lord not all at once. Like Hynlee and I had it for the first two days, then Callee and Derick. So I thought ok by some miracle Grace didn't get it and we are done now. Boy was I wrong!! Then once again Callee got it. And did I mention the reason I'm up is Hynlee just got sick again! So I'm wondering how in the world are we ever going to get past this if we just continue to pass it back and forth? And how is Grace the only one who is immune to this?? Maybe her HUGE fear of bathrooms and germs have finally paid off?! So please say a special prayer for us that we may very soon see the end of the virus or you can come visit me at the mental hospital!!!

Worst Blogger Ever!

The reason I started this blog in the first place was for the girls. A scrapbook online if you will for my girls! Well turns out I as bad at this as real scrapbooking! I never have time to just sit and post. Kinda funny I want to do this for them..but because I have three kids age 6 and under I don't have the time!! So I'm not sure how to do this make one HUGE post to catch up on all I have missed or post ten mini post? ....The Big thing I haven't had time to blog about is Callee's 5th birthday. How can my baby girl be 5? She is growing and changing every day. She is still her wild crazy self but slowly she is changing from this tom-boy to another little princess. She is growing out of the batman stage and is starting playing with dolls, make-up, dresses..In a way I'm glad but it also makes me sad. She still gets hurt EVERYDAY doing something. Whether its trying to climb a tree or jumping off something way too high but does that stop my Callee? No Way! She just wipes it off and she's fine. She amazes me at how strong she is. But she does wear her feelings on her sleeve! The slightest little thing will send her crying and hiding. These past few days I have got to spend a lot of one on one time with her. She loves nothing better than playing in the dirt still and she has been helping me plant some flowers. Callee is an amazing little girl when you sit and really listen to her.I feel some times that she has gotten the bad end of the deal sort of. I had one on one time with Grace before Callee and now little Hynlee takes so much of my time I don't feel like I get to spend enough with her. I'm the middle child and if your not one you just don't understand how it feels. But I'm so very blessed that the Lord saw me fit to be called her mother. I love you Callee Bug:)

Broken Camera

So these past few days I have missed having my camera.
I know..me missing a camera seems strange.
I have never been one who likes taking pictures...
that's why I have my mom for right?! Just Kidding!
But something happened and it won't even turn on now and it's driving me crazy!
Like today little miss Hynlee thought she could sit at the table for breakfast instead of her highchair. It was too cute. She couldn't even see over the table. But that's where she sat eating her bacon and toast with the big girls:) And the weather has been perfect here these past few days and I have no photos of the girls playing outside. Grace and Hynlee picked EVERYONE of the daffodils. While Callee bug of course just occupied herself by digging in the dirt. So I guess until I purchase a new one.........ok this post will have to be finished later. Gracie and Callee were playing ball in the house and broke one of my dishes in the kitchen. I have a mess to clean up! Oh the joys of staying at home with three wilds ones!!

Outrageous Ones

Hynlee thinks she is a lot older than what she really is. Callee always did exactly what Grace did but I thought it was because there is only 17 months between the two. But that's not the case here. She watches EVERYTHING they do and then she trys her hardest to do the same. She has started wanting to do school when they do. Basically she tries to take their paper from their desk and then color it for them. So to make her feel like a big girl, we gave her my desk from when I was little. She loves it! She mastered it in one morning. She can climb right in and out just like a pro! Today she was sitting in it playing on her computer and Callee wanted to show her how to play a game on it. Callee is always trying to correct her or be the boss. I guess Grace has bossed her for so long. Now she has someone to boss around..or so she thought! Well Miss Hynlee wasn't gonna listen to that and so she climbs out and chases after her with her mouth wide open to bite. I said in my stern voice, Don't you even think about it. And she turns around and climbs back in her chair. Callee comes right back to try again. And Hynlee went after her again. What am I gonna do with this little girl. It's not funny but it is! She's so little but so full of attitude it's cute.

So I thought your trouble started at two's? She's completley different from Grace and Callee. She hits, bites, slaps, and screams if she doesn't get her way! I know she's the baby and we have all given her everything she's wanted for the past year. But seriously this has got to stop! Grace was just laying on the couch this morning and she walks up to her and slaps her right in the face!

Why, you might ask?

Did she want something Grace had?

NO! She just did it!

Then Callee was sitting in Hynlee's desk and she walked right up to her and slapped her and then kept walking. It was like she was saying..this is mine. I don't want it right now, but you NEED to get out!

Missing my Bailee!

Man I don't know if it's all this warm weather and sunshine but the past few days I have missed my Bailee Boy so very much. It has been exactly one year and three weeks since I have gotten to see his sweet face. I totally understand WHY I had to let him go

BUT that doesn't mean I will ever execpt that fact.

I know you read this blog mom and I'm still sorry for your cat. But with that being said I still don't believe MY baby could have done it. I would give my right arm to have him back. I have been begging Derick to go get him and let me have him back for just one day but he won't! I want to see him but I'm not sure what scares me the most.

FIRST...That he won't run to me and HUG(jump on me) me the way he always did or

SECOND..The fact that I will have to say goodbye again.

Bailee was my baby from the first moment our eyes met! He was in a way my best friend. He was there when I woke up. He was there when I went to sleep, or when I needed a break from the house and just took a walk..he was there! When Derick would get up off the couch to get a drink or whatever Bailee would steal his seat and curl up to me. When the girls were out to play I knew they were completly safe with their buddy right beside them. I miss go to McDonalds just to order him a double cheese burger. There will always be a place in my heart for my Bailee that will NEVER be filled again:(

Mri

Ok so today is the day..I have to have a brain MRI done this afternoon and I'm not at all ready. I'm ready to know why I have been feeling this way for so long but the test scares me to death. It may seem a little strange but I'm more worried about the actual test than the results. I'm so claustrophobic and the thought of laying still in a machine all around me making noise for so long just freaks me out to say the least. The doctor has given me medicine to help relax me, but I've never taken this so not sure how its gonna affect me. If you know me then you know I can't take medicine very well.
Tylenol PM or benadryl KNOCKS me out cold!
So in a way I'm hoping this does so I don't even know whats going on during the test but then there is my other problem.
MY KIDS!
Derick is gonna have Grace and Callee at softball practice. So they will be fine. Mom is going with me and she will be watching Hynlee.
My problem is IF the medicine knocks me out..how long will I be out of it? My test isn't until 5 this afternoon and it's gonna take 45 minutes IF it all goes good. Depending on how many times I hit the button and FREAK OUT!
So if the test starts at 5 then the earliest we will be done will probably be 6. Which means dinner at our house. So if I'm still drunk then what are my kids gonna think of Mommy sleeping all afternoon and night. I have tried to explain this to Grace and Callee. But who knows how much they really understand.
Then the BIG problem is Hynlee! She still nurses a few times during the night... I know she doesn't need too..But she does! I can't nurse with this medicine so she is gonna have to take a bottle or cup. Which is most likely not gonna happen. She is spoiled very bad to me during the night so not sure how much sleep the family is gonna get tonight. So please say a little prayer for me and my family today!

Stone Mountain

Sunday morning Derick was so very sweet and let me sleep in late. Hynlee hasn't been sleeping good at night lately so needless to say I haven't gotten any sleep lately either. But when he came to wake me for church he had the whole day planned out for us. He wanted to take us to Stone Mountain and spend some quality family time together! So we all jumped up and got dressed and off we took. The girls were so excited. Derick asked them if they wanted to hike up the mountain and of course they said YES! We have taken them a couple of times before but never up the mountain. I don't need to remind you how clumsy, wild, fast, and sometimes hyper Callee can be. She doesn't see the danger in ANYTHING! But we had the don't go to far ahead, and be careful, don't run, it's very dangerous talk down at the bottom. And surprisingly they all did very good. Hynlee rode about half way up in her carrier and then she wanted down. But Callee and Grace walked all the way up without any serious mishap! Of course when we finally made it up, we all wanted a little snack and everything was closed. I guess cause it's off season but you couldn't even get a bottled water. So down we went. Grace was a little scared of the hike down and Derick had to carry her down the steep parts but we did it! Then to make it a field trip(cause we still have so many to take before the end of the year) we walked through the museum. They were a little upset because the train wasn't running either. But we had a wonderful family filled day with memories to last forever:)
