Day 3!!!!!!!

Its like I took "Xanga Fiber" and now I am all "Regular" with my posting!!! ROFL

Well today is Brian and I's 9th Anniversary.  This is a day that always gets looked over. I will never forget our 1st one.  Chase was 4 days old and it was about 2:30 AM.  We were up with the baby and since he was our first we were still writting down how long he ate on each side and if he pooped or peed.  My mom was also still staying with us.  So we were all up with Chase and I looked at the clock in my half asleepness and said ...."Oh look its our anniversary"  to which Brian said " Yep, sure is "  I can't remember if either of us wished each other "Happy Anniversary....but I think my mom did tell us. LOL

This is just always such a busy time of year. With all of our summer stuff going on and we are always just getting over celebrating Chases Birthday, Brians Birthday, Fathers Day ect.  Our anniversary has just always gotten overlooked. 

We did go to Fayetteville last night.  Chase was finally feeling good enough to eat.  He did take it real slow.  We ate at the mall so everyone could pick.  There is a restaurant that is nice that we like to eat at that has an "express" location in the mall.  So the kids had Chick-fil-A and we had Market Place.  Chase spent his Disney store gift cards.  Chase was very wise with his $20.00 and got a pair of flip flops , 2 shirts , and a cover for his ipod.  And Trey picked up an action figure and flip flops ( woo hoo clearance!!! ) Now trey did "pay" for his own stuff with his $2.00 follwed by dads sneaky real payment to the cashier!

Avery opted out of the Disney Store and headed to her little haven....CLAIRES.  With her $2.00 she got a necklace, a black headband, and some cute black leggings with little rhinestones.  She was fully aware that her $2.00 wasn't enough. But the sales were just so good!

I found my sales at Bath and Body.  Shampoo was on sale for $3.00 and 3 in 1 body wash was 75% off!  I picked up 3 of those 1 for me and 2 for the kids for camp.  Figured it was better that them trying to keep up with a slimy bar of soap and a bottle of shampoo. Chase would prob just throw it on top of his clothes.  Avery would prob leave hers in there for all the other campers to use..( nasty )  So I think this will work. I also got some wall flowers refils.  For some reason the sun ripened raspberry was on clearance.  Remember when that was "the" scent.  Bless its heart now its the clearance scent.

Brian got a $60.00 shirt for $16.00 so needless to say our night out had clearance written all over it!!!!  Oh yeah the restaurant we ate at we had a gift certificate for too so Brian and I's dinner was like five bucks!  Brians other purchase was the 2nd season of "Coach" the tv show.  I got him the first one for Fathers Day. So I guess I started something.  He couldn't sleep a couple of weeks ago and found out it comes on at 4:30 AM and realized how much he had liked it years ago.  He also got another cheap movie. So all in all it was a good night...and cheap!!!

We will prob go out just us after camp is over.  If we don't kill each other today!!   We are celebrating today by working together in this same building that it all began in 9 years ago.  Never thinking we would work in the building we got married in! haha I work at the church on Wednesdays which is very interesting....us working together in the same office. lol  So everytime he has given me a hard time today...he follows it by saying "Happy Anniversary" LOL

WOO HOO 2 Days in a Row!!!!

I just may be on to something here.....blogging regularly....it could happen!!!!

Thought I would tell you about a new word my 4 year old had introduced me to.

He finds butts very humerous.  The fact that he has a butt...I have a butt...you have a butt...everybody got a butt!!!  ( Makes me want to break out into song...you know the one... think big ones.... and Jr. High/ High School.....there you go ....now your singing it too!!! haha)

Anyway his word is........... "Buttoxy"

He loves to say it ....just outta nowhere....Buttoxy.  Last night he added a little umph to it and made it ...."Buttoxio" Kinda with and Italian flair..lol

So anyway thought I would expand your vocabulary too

So mabey I shouldn't blog daily because these are the kind of things my life involves!!

The blogging guilt has taken over....

Here I sit once again not knowing where to start.

It seems like I am still trying to get a handle on this summer thing.  With Chase and Avery being home things are def different.  They get bored and then all that sibling love just flows.....LOL

Avery had her Kindergarten graduation.  I was so proud of both of them.  Avery received the award for Highest grade point average overall for K-1st!!!  Chase received the highest grade point average in Science for 2nd - 4th!!!

The theme at our house lately has been sick sick sick.  I started it a week and a half ago with chills and fever and then Trey picked it up.  We went to the doctor and when he looked in my throat he made a not so nice face...then went on to ask which pharmacy we used... end of discussion....no more questions  just gave me the meds.    He said it could have been caused by streph, but he didn't do a streph test.  It took a long time to get over and made for a gloomy fathers day weekend. 

Chase turned 8 Saturday and Brian turned 30 on Saturday also!!!  Chase and Avery both woke up Saturday not feeling so great.  Chase tuffed it out to get to his party.  But after while we were cleaning up ( We had to move the party to the church because of the rain....which cleared up by party time....oh well) we found Chase outside on some cement steps laying down.  He later fell asleep on the steps.  So Saturday night meant vomiting for Chase and High fever for Avery.  So thats where we are today.

Brian and I were suppose to travel to Joplin tomorrow for our National denominational elections...but it doesn't look like I will be going.

Brian is speaking at our youth camps this year so he has been getting ready for that.  We are looking forward to that.  We are praying he stays well.  We will leave a week from tomorrow.  Chase and Avery are also going to kids camp ALL BY THEMSELVES!!!!  Please remember me on July 11th ....we have always gone with them so this will be interesting

So thats whats going on with me!  I haven't been online much.  Thankyou so much to those of you who have checked on me.  That is so sweet of you. (((hugs))) So much is going on inside right now .  I am going to try to catch up mabey something exciting will happen that I can blog about . Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hey everybody!!!

Well the media fast is over....It has actually been over.   But I am just now making myself  blog. Wow so much has gone on with everyone here since I have been gone. 

I couldn't begin to cover the last month of my life so I will just pick up here and ramble a bit!!!! 

We had our first girls weekend .....Choc and Chat!!!  I had so much fun with all the girls.  I know what the all "want" to talk about...(boys) but right now we are focusing on what God has for us first. We are covering a book called "Mean Girls"  ( There is also "Mean Girls Grown up" for women)   Making sure we now how God intends for us to deal with girls, before we start dealing with guys.  And first and foremost making sure WE are NOT the mean girl!!!

Our evening included Olive Garden, The Mall, Back to the church for WAY TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE and sleeping, all of the sponsors did such an amazing job at helping me prepare a lovely brunch for those sleepy headed angels , and then we finished it off with two sessions and a discussion time covering the first part of the book " Mean Girls"   I hope they enjoyed themselves as much as I loved doing it!!!  They seemed to....and it makes me feel so good to hear their parents tell me that their daughter had a good time....just something about it coming from them!!!   Just thinking that when they got home and their parents asked them what the did or what they talked about...they didn't ( or mabey I am dreaming ) say ......."Stuff????"   More than anything I hope they were open to the Lord speaking to each one of them specifically about their responsibility....and I believe they did .  I know He spoke to me.   TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

And major props to Super Hubby/Dad for keeping 3 children and  taking them to  Chases  8:30 A.M. Soccer game, breakfast, shopping for new shin guards , and then bringing them home to  be little soldiers making a spotless house for tired me to come home to!!!  MUWAH!!!  He was super.  I did joke though the night before with one of the ladies about how funny I thought it would have been to call him at midnight and tell him....

"OH NO I FORGOT ITS MY WEEK FOR TEAM SNACKS!!!!!  ....just to freak him out.......but seeing his super accomplishments he probably would have packed them up headed to the store and went all "Paula Deen" on some serious soccer snacks!!! LOL
