2010 Easter Special

Julie....you were wonderful! You looked so beautiful up there. I wanted to cry cuz you are growing up so fast! I love you my beautiful princess!

MY TOES

Jamie came over and did my toes for me today.......aren't they pretty?????? Now that it is summer I will need to do this alot more often! I have such a WONDERFUL daughter !!! Love you Jay!

My little Monkey Munch...

The kids love this!!!!! It will be gone within a couple days! We got the recipe from watching Jon and Kate plus Eight.........have to give my little monkeys a snack once in while! haha

Friends hanging out watching a movie..

I love the fact that the girls are comfortable enough to have their friends over to watch movies and just hang out. They are laughing and having a great time ! I am on the computer just trying to give them space and stay awake! haha

Easter egg coloring

The kids bugged me all morning to color their eggs......drove me crazy cuz all I wanted to do was get a shower first! Well, after they played outside for a while I gave in....my hair can wait. Lol They had a blast! They were so polite to one another and took turns dipping the eggs. Where did these kids come from?????? Lauren got all done decorating hers and then gave them to the other kids. She said she doesn't want to eat them. Oh well, she enjoyed herself.

Shelby even got in on the decorating. She would not turn around so I could take her pic though! She didn't have her make-up on! Really!!! Today was so much fun! I love these kids!

The Wilderness Family....

The kids had a BLAST playing outside today! They said they were playing ," The Wilderness Family." They watched the movie once and loved it! They really know how to use their imaginations.

The only one still awake....

Julie is the only one still going strong after the Easter Special practice tonight....the other kids could hardly hold their eyes open. Of course, Julie got up about 9:00 today and the kids got up at 6:30. Anyway, she is scanning the channels trying to find Hannah Montana! Between her and Lauren I cannot get away from that girl. Lol

TIRED CHILDREN

The kids are exhausted!!! They have an Easter Special they are doing on Sunday. They are soooooo excited!!!! I am too! They all look so cute and did such a wonderful job at all the practices. I am soooo proud of them!!! They practiced for 3 hours tonight!! We fed them pb&j, bananas and punch . We also played some games . They had such a GREAT time! Good job guys! By the way, they are WILD sleepers too!!!! I have to go in a couple times a night and cover them again so they don't wake up cold.

Luke is off in his own world......

Luke is just tuning everyone out and playing the Nintendo DS. He sure is concentrating because I had to ask him several times to go sit in the computer chair so I could get the table ready for dinner! Sometimes it is nice to just forget about the days events....children are no different than us adults .

They are all happy right now .........that makes me smile!

I think she is tired..........

Lauren didn't want to hang with the girls outside so she vegged out on the loveseat sucking that very tasteful thumb and watched Hannah Montana...Yah! That show drives me CRAZY!!! I sat with her for a few minutes and she cuddled with me but I

had to get dinner on. .............

My singers and dancers......

Layla and Julie decided they wanted to be singers, models and dancers so they set up these little stages. It was really cute to watch! They had a boom box .....listening to KSBJ and a CD of Mary Mary. They will be famous one day I am sure!!!!!! These 2 can put a smile on your face anytime of the day! They light up our world that's for sure.

Kids playing Nintendo Ds

You could hear a pin drop right now! Lauren's favorite spot is on the floor......she doesn't care that I have to step over her constantly! haha

What a beautiful day it is.........

Woke up this morning to sunshine!!!! It is so beautiful outside! We did some housework, dropped Jennifer off at Health Food Cottage and Shelby at Pizza Hut. Jamie came over to take a shower and just talk about anything and everything going on in her life. I miss her so much!!! Julie and I then had to leave for her doctor appointment as she has another sore throat/fever! This is really getting to her. Well, we got the wonderful news that she has a relapse of MONO! I purchased some vitamins to give her too. The doctor said there is a chance she might need her tonsils out. FUN! FUN! Anyway........we had soup and grilled cheese for dinner. The kids played chase outside for a little while and now they are playing their Nintendo DS at the kitchen table. I am posting a picture for all to see. After that, they will all take a bath and go to sleep in their nice warm beds. I really love these kids. They are such a blessing!!!!!

It has been a long time....

Hello everyone,
It has been such a long time! I just got busy with everything and forgot about blogging. shame on me!!!! I vow from this day forward I am going to blog my days, for the most part. LOl We have just been busy with life. Sometimes things just get put to the side. Anyway, the girls are getting ready to go eat at Pizza Hut as they both have the day off. OH yah, Jennifer works at Health Foood Cottage and Shelby at Pizza Hut. I am so proud of them! At 3:00 today Jen has a doctor appointment with Mrs. Julieanne. Hopefully they will give her something for this horrible cough she can't get rid of. Other than that, nothing else planned for the day. Have a very blessed day everyone!

Secret Keeper Girl Shopping Trip

We had such a wonderful time! Each girl had Appr. $50.00 to spend at Catos Clothing Store. They had some very cute clothes there too! Julie picked out a long dressy type shirt with black capris to wear under it, a pair of black dress shoes and a pink short sleeve hooded sweatshirt. She learned what it is to dress modestly. I am very proud of her for the clothing she chose! I really enjoyed shopping with her and that is saying a whole lot as I HATE clothes shopping! LOl She is such a joy to be with. It feels as though I am shopping with my best buddy instead of my 10 year old daughter. I love her so much! I am sad that SKG will be ending soon.

Friday Fun !!!!!!

Guess what???? We ended up going swimming again!! It was so hot today! We stayed for an hour and that was long enough for me. Julie, Luke and Lauren swim like fish! Layla just stays around the edges. Oh Well. She did let me carry her around a little though. Anyway, other than enjoying the pool and what housework I did get done that pretty much was our day. Tomorrow is another fun day......we have Malachi!! Yeah!! He is such a wonderful baby....I love having him around. Will try to post more tomorrow and maybe with some pictures.

Enjoying the summer

I could really get used to these summer days! We went to the pool this afternoon and then again this evening. I guess you could say we got a little sun. Tomorrow we won't get to swim....housework is calling my name! Also,the kids I babysit will be here at 12:00 so I will have a house full the rest of the day! My life is never boring.

It is 10:44 P.M. and Shelby & Julie are making some chicken & veggies for us to eat. We already ate dinner BUT swimming will make a person SOOO hungry!! Well, that pretty much was our day. We enjoyed just being with one another. Simple and Pleasant! Isn't life Wonderful.
