Someone Help, Please!!!



Well, my back is still hurting, I sprained it and I have no idea how. I was given some pain killers and muscle relaxers, but they only help so much.


Anyway, on Friday we took the kids to the doctor. Jackson now weighs 15.2 pounds and is 26 1/2 inches tall. Sierra-Lynn is back up to 39 lbs and is almost 45 inches tall (she is a little more than 44 1/2 inches). I went to Urgent care on Saturday, that's how I know what is wrong with my back.


I need to get Mark's ears checked, I have been telling him for the last two weeks that I want to get my lisecnse back before Sierra-Lynn's investiture ceremony (this upcoming Monday) and my last opportunity to do so is tomorrow. He starts yelling at me this morning for not telling him that I want to go take the driving test. I told him fine I won't do and he can continue to control everything by being the only driver in the house. Thus starting WW18. What's a person to do?


Anyway, we took the kids back to the doctor yesterday and my sweet baby has an ear infection and a cold, and Sierra-Lynn has a cold and is miserable. She is currently sitting on the kitchen floor making a picture for her Hannah, as she calls her, for her birthday. I am trying to make her an adorable 1950's style dress, though she may not be able to wear it for a while. I made one for Sierra-Lynn 2 years ago and had to make it longer, because it showed her booty, so who knows. I just hope that I can get it done by Friday along with reading the MO drivers book.
Wish me luck.

Our Day At The Park!!!



I am tired, but extremely sore. We started our day by going to Agape's yard sale, then spent a few hours at the park. We had lunch and just enjoyed our day. Jackson got to play in the rocks and swing and play on the bouncy, 4 way see saw thingy. I even got Mark to keep an eye on Jackson while Sierra-Lynn and I planted her vegetable and flower gardens. This explains the sore back (two 40 pound bags of soil and a 40 pound bag of rock carried across the yard). I almost couldn't get up off of the ground. Here's hoping that the Backaid kicks in SOON (five minutes ago would be nice). ;)

I am hoping that the pictures actually down load this time, I have been trying to put some on here for a while but have had no luck. I think this thing hates me, but whatever.

In less than 2 weeks my baby girl will be graduating from Kindergarten. Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday, she was wearing diapers and chasing me around the circle at her grandparents house. Wait, sorry it was just a few days ago that I was watching home videos of her with her Nana and Papa. She has grown up so much. She has pen pals, one that writes and one that is way too busy for much of anything except work and collapsing into bed at the end of the day. We still love you Becky, we all know how hectic life can be.
I should be back tomorrow with updates on my babies. They both have doctor's appointments at 2:30, so until then, good night.

I'm Back.

Sorry it's been so long, we rearranged the living room and for almost a week I didn't have the net hooked up.

I wanted to give an update on my sweet (sometimes) babies. Sierra-Lynn wants to be an architect when she gets older. She has already designed a house that is shaped like a foot. (Don't ask.) She is excited about her Girl Scout meeting tonight. On April 28, we will be having the investiture ceremony, she is pretty excited about that too. And sometime on the 9th of May she will be graduating from Kindergarten. I am so excited.

Jackson is still working on getting his teeth, they are being stubborn. This past week his gums have been hurting so bad that he has been having trouble eating. That is if we don't give him Tylenol, teething tablets or Ambesol, I haven't been doing it every bottle just one or two a day.

One day I will post some photos, this blasted thing won't let me for some reason.

Welcome Loved Ones!

Welcome to the first post of my private blog, I hope this works better for everyone.

I know that all of you are wanting to know how we are doing. Aside from being tired all of the time (not able to get any sleep), I'm just a little stressed. Mark was going to get up with Jackson this morning, but apparently he got up on the wrong side of the bed and the first thing that he did was yell at Jackson for trying to throw himself out of daddy's arms, along with a spanking. This set Jackson screaming and woke up the whole house.

On top of this, I had to deal with a complete moron yesterday. We went to pick up our pictures and (not only did we have to make an extra trip), but then we had to wait for her to finish stuffing her face (repeatedly) and goof off for more than an hour. Then she was completely rude, and kept interrupting Mark. So I gave the B**** a piece of my mind. She didn't like it. Oh well, not my problem, but I won't be recommending her to any of my friends.

Mark is grumpy, but what else is new. I love him to death, but he needs to work on his attitude, he'd be much happier. He is doing much better at spending time with Sierra-Lynn one on one and she is much happier.

Sierra-Lynn went to the dentist yesterday and she has no cavities (YEAH). She has one heck of a green thumb, you should see the veggies she planted. Her green bean plant is well over a foot tall. She is writing up a storm, but we are looking for a new pen pal, her current one has yet to write back. If interested let me know, K?

Jackson was taken to the doctor yesterday. Don't worry he is fine. He has just been very irritable this past week and had major wax build up in his ears. They cleaned his ears and looked at his gum line, there are several buds, but as of yet no teeth. He is now 14.6 pounds and cuter everyday.

Oh, I almost forgot, he is military crawling. Usually trying to get me while I'm making dinner.
