CELEBRATEING AT GRANDMAS, I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF TEAGEN AND MY AUNT ANGIE

 

WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED THIS YEAR, WE HAVE HAD SOME HARD TIMES BUT WE ALWAYS LAND BACK ON OUR FEET THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. TEAGEN TOOK SWIMMING LESSONS IN THE SUMMER AND THEN STARTED GYMNASTICS AND JUST FINISHED WITH THAT. HE IS GOING TO PRESCHOOL TWICE A WEEK AND I JUST GOT A NEW JOB SO MY MOM BABYSITS TEAGEN TWICE A WEEK. IT HAS BEEN AN AJUSTMENT FOR HIM HE HAS DONE WELL. JESSE IS STILL WORKING HARD AT PREMIER AND WE ARE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO SPRING. WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS, IT WAS AWSOME TO BE WITH FAMILY, ALL THOUGH WE WISHED WE COULD HAVE BEEN WITH BOTH SIDES OF THE FAMILY.IT WAS SO FUN TO SEE TEAGEN OPEN ALL HIS GIFTS. I AM STARTING A NEW MUSICAL THIS WEEK FOR THE STAKE. I HAVE NEVER DONE A STAKE MUSICAL BEFORE SO WE WILL SEE HOW THAT GOES, SHOULD BE FUN. HOPE YOU GUYS ALL HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!

 

THIS IS WHAT THE CARPET AND WALL LOOKED LIKE AFTER ALL OF OUR CLEANING

 

 

 

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE OF THOSE CANDEL BURNERS? WELL LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE DONT DUMP THEM OVER. TEAGEN WAS PLAYING ON THE TABEL IN THE LIVING ROOM, I HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORK AND JESSE WAS STILL AT WORK. THE CANDEL WAS ON THE EDGE OF THE TABLE(GOOD ONE I KNOW) AND TEAGEN BUMPED IT AND ALL THE HOT LIQUID WAX SPILLED ON THE FLOOR AND DOWN THE VENT. I SERIOUSELY STARRED AT IT FOR FIVE MINUTES BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO.FINALLY AFTER I PULLED MYSELF OUT OF SHOCK I CALLED MY FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR. LICKLY SHE KNEW WHAT TO DO, WE SPENT THE NEXT TWO HOURS OR WAS THAT THREE IRONING NEWSPAPER ONTO THE FLOOR AND THE IRON AND THE NEWSPAPER PULLED OUT MOST OF THE WAX, IT WAS AWFULL BUT I AM THANKFULL MY GOOD FRIEND EDEE HELPED ME, THANKS YOU FRIEND!

K I KNOW I AM SLACKING BUT I PROMISE LATTER TODAY I WILL POST CHRISTMAS

 

 

 

 

MOM AND NETTA CAME TO VISIT AND TEAGEN HAD SO MUCH FUN, SO DID WE

WE SPENT THANKSGIVING AT THE LAWS THIS YEAR, IT WAS CRAZY BUSY BUT AS ALWAYS VERY FUN! IT WAS WAY TOO SHORT THOUGH SO I APOLOGIZE TO THOSE WHO WE DID NOT GET TO VISIT, WITH A FAMILY THAT BIG THERE WERE LOTS OF NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS.(ENGAGEMENTS, BABIES,BECOMING FOSTER PARENTS) MY BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW ARE GOING TO BE THE BEST PARENTS IN THE WORLD AND I JUST WANT TO TELL THEM HOW PROUD OF THEM WE ALL ARE! JAMIE AND JUSTIN YOU TWO ARE SO SPECIAL AND YOU WILL BE AMAZING. ANYWAY I WILL BLOG MORE LATTER

AT PRESCHOOL THE KIDS MADE A HUGE TURKEY TO CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING, IT WAS FUN !

THIS IS TEAGEN AFTER WE ATE THANKSGIVING AT THE LAWS, HE LOVES TO PLAY CARS

K EVERYONE WHO COMES TO OUR BLOG YOU HAVE TO CLICK ONTO JULIE AND RONS SITE, MY SISTER IN LAW JUST FOUND OUT WHAT SHE IS HAVEINNG, BOY OR GIRL, YOU HAVE TO LOG ON TO FIND OUT!

 

WELL I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE, I HAVE NOT UPDATED MY BLOG FOR A WHILE. TEAGEN DECIDED HE DID NOT WANT TO DO GYMNASTICS ANYMORE SO YESTERDAY WAS HIS LAST DAY, KIND OF SAD BU TI DON'T WANT TO FORCE HIM. OVER THE WEEKEND GRANDMA LAW AND JANETTA CAME TO VISIT, IT WAS FUN I WILL POST PICTURES LATTER. YESTERDAY WE WENT TO MY AUNT ANGIES HOUSE AND WE HAD A PARTY FOR MY MOMS BIRTHDAY, THAT WAS ALSO FUN, WELL MORE LATTER

DON'T CRY BECAUSE ITS OVER, LAUGH BECAUSE IT HAPPENED!

OH WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MY FAMILY AWAY FROM HOME. THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME KNOW THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN SHY. I LOVE TO BE ON STAGE. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THEN FEELING THAT EXCITEMENT WHEN THE AUDIENCE IS LAUGHING AND CLAPPING FOR THE JOB WELL DONE. YOU COME INTO THE MUSICAL STRANGERS BUT COME OUT AS FAMILY, WE ALL GET VERY CLOSE REGARDLESS IF YOU ARE SIX YEARS OLD OR SIXTY.THE ONLY HARD PART IS SAYING GOODBYE TELL NEXT YEAR.WE ALL CRY ON CLOSING NIGHT( ITS TRUE) WE HAVE THE MOST AMAZING DIRECTORS,AND AN INCREDIBLY TALENTED GROUP.I SOMETIMES WATCH THE REHEARSALS AND THINK I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS THIS MUCH TALENT IN OUR AREA.EVERY YEAR WE START TO PRACTICE IN APRIL AND THEN AT THE END OF JUNE WE PREFORM SIX NIGHTS. THE LAST TWO WEEKS WE HAVE NAMED HELL WEEKS, BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE BEST.YOU WORK HARD, I ONCE HAD SOMEONE ASK ME DO YOU GET PAYED TO DO THIS AND I SAID YES. THEY SAID REALLY HOW MUCH. MY RESPONSE WAS WE ARE PAYED BY THE SATISFACTION OF A NEW FAMILY EVERY YEAR, WHEN THE AUDIENCE LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND THE INCREDIBLE CLOSE FRIENDSHIPS YOU FORM. SHE JUST LOOKED AT ME KIND OF WEIRD AND I SAID I CANT EXPLAIN THE FEELING, YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO COME AND EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF.ONE NIGHT AFTER A PERFORMANCE WE WERE GREETING THE AUDIENCE AND A YOUNG MOTHER WALKED UP TO ME AND A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND JUST STARTED HUGGING US, SHE SAID THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS. MY THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER CANT WAIT TO DO THESE PLAYS, SHE IS MENTALLY DISABLED BUT IT IS SO WONDERFUL THAT SHE HAS HIGH HOPES FOR THE FUTURE. IF WE CAN MAKE JUST ONE PERSON HAPPY THEN WE HAVE DONE OUR JOBS. I CANT WAIT UN TILL NEXT YEAR! HERE ARE SOME PICTURES OF THIS YEARS PLAY.

I AM SO PROUD OF TEAGEN, HE IS GROWING AND LEARNING SO MUCH! THIS IS TEAGEN AT GYMNASTICS ON THE BAR ALL BY HIMSELF!

SORRY IM A LITTLE BEHIND ON HALOWEEN!!!!!

LAST NIGHT TEAGEN AND I WATCH THE WIZARD OF OZ, HE WAS SO FUNNY.HIS FAVORITE CHARACTER WAS THE LION. THE BEST PART WAS SNUGGLING! I TOLD TEAGEN THAT THE WIZARD OF OZ WAS THE VERY FIRST PLAY I WAS EVER IN. HE SAID HOW OLD WERE YOU, WHEN I TOLD HIM THREE HE LOOKED AT ME WITH BIG EYES AND SAID LIKE ME!

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE A SCRAPBOOK MOM!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

ALWAYS TOOK FOR GRANTED THAT TEAGEN WOULD STAY LITTLE AND MINE FOREVER, ONLY RECENTLY HAVE I DISCOVERED THAT IS NOT THE CASE, I JUST STARTED A NEW JOB, I LOVE IT HOWEVER BEING AWAY FROM TEAGEN WAS HARDER THEN I THOUGHT. AS I WATCHED HIM IN PRESCHOOL TODAY I HAD TO CHOKE BACK THE TEARS. THIS OVER WHELMING FEELING OF I NEED TO BE WITH TEAGEN EVERY SECOND OF HIS LIFE. I KNOW I DON'T BUT I WANT JESSE AND I TO SEE HIS FIRST EVERYTHING, I HAVE MISSED SOME OF HIS EXPERIENCES BUT BELIEVE ME IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE FOR PLAYING BALL BUT TODAY TEAGEN SAID AT RECESS MOMMY YOU WANT TO PLAY BALL. EXPECTING ME TO SAY NO OR I'M TOO TIRED I SAID I WOULD LOVE TOO TEAGEN HAD THIS PRICELESS LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT I WILL CARRY IN MY HEART FOREVER.I'M GLAD I REALIZED THIS. MY HUSBAND IS THE ONE THAT MADE ME REALIZE. I WILL BE GRATEFUL FOREVER.

FUN AT PRESCHOOL

MOMMY I FROWED UP !

WELL I CAN NO LONGER SAY I HAVE NEVER BEEN THROWN UP ON. TEAGEN STARTED GETTING SICK SO WE WENT TO THE DOCTOR, HE HAD AN UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION. WE WENT HOME AND HE TOOK THE COUGH MEDICINE THAT WAS PRESCRIBED. HE IS POTTY TRAINED SO HE WAS IN THE BATHROOM AND I STARTED TO HEAR HIM CRY, I RAN IN THERE AND HE SAID MOMMY MY TUMMY HURTS SO MUCH. I STOOD IN FRONT OF HIM TO COMFORT HIM AND HOLD HIS HANDS AND THEN IT HAPPENED, THROUGH UP ALL OVER ME ALL OVER HIM AND ALL OVER THE FLOOR.HE WAS SO UPSET HE KEPT SAYING MOMMY I'M SO SORRY I FREW UP ON MY POTTY, MY CHAIR, MY UNDERWEAR, AND YOU. I SAID DON'T BE SORRY I LOVE YOU POOR LITTLE GUY, THEN TWO DAYS LATTER I GOT SICK. I HOPE JESSE STAYS WELL. IT WAS SO AWFULL TO SEE HIM SICK I JUST WANTED TO TAKE IT FROM HIM, LITTLE DID I KNOW TWO DAYS LATTER I DID!

MY HUSBAND IS THE BEST!

JESSE IS THE MOST AMAZING EVER! WE GOT AN OUTSIDE CAT, JESSE DOES NOT REALLY LIKE CATS BUT HE HAS BEEN SO TOLERABEL. WE FOUND OUT TEAGEN IS ALLERGIC TO TAZZ SO HE HAD TO MOVE OUTSIDE PERMINITELY. WELL JESSE WORKED THREE HOURS ON A CAT HOUSE FOR TAZZ TO BE WARM . HE PUT INSALATION IN IT.HE SAYS HE DOES NOT LIKE TAZZ MUCH ( BUT YOU SHOULD SEE HIM WHEN IM NOT LOOKING) I WAS SICK YESTERDAY AND HE HELPED ME SO MUCH AND DID NOT COMPLAIN ONCE. TELL ME WHO ELSE WOULD SPEND THREE HOURS ON A CAT HOUSE JUST TO MAKE HIS WIFE HAPPY1
