Weekend fun

This weekend we changed things up a little. Friday night we went to my dad's game, as I said in the previous post. It was truly amazing...there is nothing greater than Friday Night Football in the great state of Texas! I am happy to say that Landry's schedule was not impaired...she went right back to it! Whew!
Saturday was pretty normal, JR had to work all day, so it was just me and the kids. I did a little cleaning and caught up on some shows on the DVR. I also played a lot of onine poker! LOL
Sunday, JR actually had the day off! Woohoo! We spent the morning and early afternoon just relaxing. In fact we spent about an hour in bed with both kids just cuddling, reading the Lion King, and playing...it was so nice. ONe big happy family all in one bed! LOL It was a little crowded, but those are my favorite moments. Then, we decided to head off to Wimberley to meet up with my sister and her kids. There is this wonderful place in Wimberely called 7A ranch...it is amazing and I haven't been there since I was a child. There is a place called Pioneer Tow that is on the 7A property and I decided that is where I wanted to take Landry's one year pictures, but I wanted to take some test shots to see if I liked it...and to see what Landry would look like in her dress so I could make any alterations needed before the professional pics are taken! Before taking the pictures we spent a few hours at the river...Not the river, river...not where you float, but a place really meant for relaxing and swimming, also I place I haven't been to since I was a child! I have such fond memories of this place...it is right across from 7A. We had such a wonderful time!
Afterwards we headed to dinner at Inoz and that was pretty great too! Then we headed home, I stayed up too late, but all is well in the world! I am just loving life right now!

This week

Wow...I haven't posted in a week....Geez! I have been so busy and this week seems to have just flown by. Pretty much I have just been busy with the kids. We went to the park 3 times this week. We went to the pool twice. In between all that we were running errands, and playing at the house. Friday we went to my dad's football game in Cuero. I was really nervous for the team because Cuero had a 68 game winning streak at home...well the Texans broke that streak with a 49-42 win over the Cuero Gobblers!!! It was such a good game! The entire thing was exciting and I was so happy to get Friday night football underway!!! I was also nervous because the game started at 7:30 and was an 1.5 hour drive...yikes! She slept the entire way there, and was a perfect angel through the entire game. There was 52 seconds left on the clock when she started fussing! She slept the whole way home and when I got her in the house, I gave her a bottle, changed her diaper, and put her in her bed...she slept all night! Whew....Then I was nervous about what today would hold...would she take her naps? Will she go to bed on time, or is she going to be off her schedule? Whatever happens, we have to figure this out because we will be doing this every Friday for the next 10 weeks AT LEAST...Longer if we make the playoffs!!!
Anyway - Its been a fun filled week, now time to start dinner!

not so much

Well, there isn't really too much to say. It's Saturday and JR is working - Blah! Logan seems to have recovered from the upper respiratory infection. I am on the brink of recovery, and Landry shouldn't be too far behind. Her fever is gone, which is a sign of success, but her nose is still running like crazy and she has a horribly raspy voice and a cough. :( Her poor little legs have three bruises from where she got her shots:( So incredibly sad.
Last night, JR went to play poker with a group of friends, while I stayed home with the kids. He said he had a really good time, and that next time we will get a babysitter and both go. YAY I seriously love poker - which kind of sucks because when JR gets invited to play a game its usually just for the boys...but apparently several of the wives were there last night, so it looks like I will get to join in next time! Woohoo! While I was home last night, I finished Landry's dress...well pretty much, I just have to get the flowers on it, but that wont take anytime at all. I made her a big fluffy, toule dress for her one year pictures. We are taking them in just over two weeks so that I can put one or two on the invitations to her party. I am so excited to get her pictures taken. But I really need to get on the ball, I am supposed to be looking for a place to take them. I have the photographer, but I wanted some on-site photos instead of studio photos. I really need to drive down to Wimberley and look around. I kind of want to find something country....Logan's one years photos were so cute. We did them at the Picture People and he took some on a bale of hay with a saddle on top. In some he even wore a cowboy hat, so I thought it would be cute to kind of replicate the idea. I dont know how it will work out though...I still need to buy her some birthday clothes, for the photo shoot and because I want to get a few of the kids together, I will need to get something for Logan AND I am going to try to get a good family photo (maybe even use it for Christmas photos) so I want to find something for JR and I as well. I am trying to take advantage of this photo shoot because it costs $175 for the photo shoot, and I just want to get the most out of it, so that I dont have to pay another $175 in a couple of months for Christmas photos! LOL Not that I would, but hey...like I said, I am just going to get as many photos as possible. After all is said and done I will still have to pay to get the pictures printed....but at least I get the disc and I dont have to worry about copy rights! Whew!
Anyway, I am really excited...really, really, really excited! I can't wait for people to see the dress!

Dr. Visits

Well, Miss Landry Bell went to the doctor yesterday! FINALLY! You will not believe the HELL I went through in order to get her an appointment. I finally got all the insurance settled, and got her the appointment - only a month late! My baby girl weighed 18 pounds 1 ounce and is 27 inches long! She has gained 11 pounds and 6.5 inches since birth! She is in the 25th percentile for her weight and the 65th percentile for her height! I am so impressed! She is completely healthy and I couln't be more proud of my baby girl!
She still shows no interest in letting go of whatever it is she is using to hold herself upright. She is perfectly content with cruising and crawling, however; yesterday and today she started to bear crawl...she was using her hands and feet instead of her hands and knees - then while she was on her hands and feet...she looked as if she was going to try to get her balance and try to stand - but....it didn't happen. Not to mention, I didn't think that was the best way to try standing on her first time. LOL My daughter is an angel! She is also sick...I was so scared they wouldn't see her yesterday due to the fact that we all have upper respiratory infections and she had a little bit of a fever...but luckily, they still went through with the visit! Whew! To top it all over Landry is getting 4 more teeth ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Yikes! I am soooo very lucky that neither of my kids have had adverse effects from teething!
Speaking of teeth, Logan went to the dentist on Wednesday...I am so proud of my little boy as well. The dentist said he was impressed with Logan's teeth and asked if he ever drank juice, or had candy. I told him the truth, which is that Logan eats a little more candy than I would like, but that we are dilligent in brushing...and as for juice, he drinks Capri Sun's but they are the flavored water kind, and he is limited on the amount he drinks. He still drinks plenty of milk and I really try to limit the sugar intake.
I can't believe my little babies are growing up so fast!

Night from Hell...

Well, here we are. It's 11:09, and I am sitting here drinking, more like GULPING, down Starbucks frappuccino. When I am finished with this one, you can most likely count on me going to get another one. Last night, Isabella and Isaiah came to stay the night. Randi and my mom both work overnight shifts. I think my mom gets off at 7:00 and Randi gets off at 9:00, but my dad usually leaves for work about 6:30 or 7:00, so there would be no one home to take care of them....thus, they came to stay with me. I have no idea what they plan on doing when school starts, NEXT WEEK, but I can tell you that I WILL NOT be driving them 30 minutes to Wimberley to take them to school. Not going to happen. Anyway, they have been at their dads for 2 weeks so Logan was so excited to see them...and they played and played. However, we have been doing really well with Logan sleeping in his own room - but it went down the drain last night. He was in bed with us...I couldn't sleep - ughhh! It was awful. First of all, we had a storm come through last night, and for those of you that dont know, I have arthritis in most of my joints. Fingers, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. My lower extremities are the ones mostly affected. The slightest changes in weather send me over the edge. So last night, I laid in bed (with only a VERY small space to try to stretch out my legs), I could not get comfortable. I tossed, I turned, I huffed and I puffed, but the pain only got worse and worse. On top of this I was burning up. Logan is like a little radiator, he puts off so much heat. At 12:15 in the morning, I couldn't take it any longer...I just wanted to fall asleep, so I picked him up and took him to his bed with the kids. Although, once he was gone, I cooled down considerably, I still could not go to sleep. I laid there and laid there and laid there, writhing in pain. At 1:30 I went downstairs to take some pain medicine. I stayed down to drink some water, and headed back, each movement, each stair agonizingly painful. As, I neared the top of the stairs, I promised myself to get to the doctor and get some prescription medicine. Maybe they can give me something to slow the progress of the disease, who knows. I have pretty much accepted the fact that I will one day have to have both hips and knees replaced, but last night, I was ready to just cut them off. When I reached the top of the stairs and climbed back into bed, I quickly realized that Logan had found his way back...I laid ther for about 15 minutes. I was crying, I was soooo tired, I just wanted to sleep, Logan was making me burn up, and they pain was keeping me awake. I couldn't even fall asleep....not even for just a few minutes. Ughhh! At 3:00 JR woke up and asked what was wrong with me...at that point I had gotten out of bed all together and was on the floor reading on my phone, while trying to stretch my painful joints and surrounding muscles. Apparently he was extremely hot as well, and Logan was laying sideways digging his feet into JR's ribs. I moved Logan over to my side and went back down those wretched stairs and slept on the couch. Well, really I laid on the couch, decided the medicine wasn't working so I took an aleve. The last time I looked at the clock it was 4:07. I woke up at 6:45, still in pain, but it was better. The reason I woke up, was because I was bitten about 45 times by mosquitos last weekend....I have 17 bites on one foot....in between the toes, on the top, on the heel, on the arch...and I guess I had been scratching in my sleep, but I guess it got out of control ad the scratching woke me up. REALLY??? I went to check on JR to make sure he wouldn't be late for work. Then I went back down stairs and promptly fell back asleep. I woke up at 8:00 with the kids. So now, I am just praying that the rest of the day can somehow go by at super human speed, because I am soooo tired, and to make matters worse, JR has a 2:00 am job tomorrow! Yipppppeeeee!

Weekend Fun

Oh man - We went to Happy hour on Friday night...It was so nice. We just hung out....and let me just say the place that we went was SOOOO AUSTIN! LOL I can't really explain that statement, You kind of have to spend a good amount of time in or around Austin to get it. I had a really good time, and was so thankful to my sister for watching the kids.
Saturday we were on the road about 9:00...about an hour later than we wanted, but oh well. The trip started off well, the first hour was great, the second hour started to go downhill, the third hour was like the kids were taking turns screaming without a break in between. Then we got to Katy and all hell broke loose. Logan started acting really strange and all of a sudden started yelling, "Mommy, I need help, I need help!!!" This was followed by him twisting into a very awkward position is his seat...I am trying to figure out what happened, he is crying, I am yelling at JR to pull over, Landry is now screaming bloody murder, JR is frustrated telling me to get the kids quiet so he can focus. He finally exits and pulls over I get out and run around the car which is where I find out that Logan has diarhea and it is EVERYWHERE. I put a diaper on him after cleaning everything up, but about every 15 minutes he is crying saying he needs a new diaper. So there we are, pulling over just about every 20 minutes in downtown Houston!!! Then we get to Wal-mart, it was horrible. We finally get to the birthday party and I am constantly changing Logan, I gave him some medicine, but it was just BAD. He was still acting fine, still playing and having a grand ole time...but then there was the poo. Geez. He finally started having solid poops and it just disappeared later that evening...so I dont know what the deal was.
The party was AWESOME!!! They had the same 16 foot slide that they had last year, only this year, I felt comfortable allowing Logan to participate. Plus, I joined in too! It was a blast. Then I woke up the next day and felt like I had been in a car accident. I have some serious whip lash...My entire neck is in so much pain. My abs feel as though I did about 100,000 sit ups in an hour! My neck is still in some pain, but I have to say that it was well worth all the fun we had!
We drove home on Sunday, and it was a much better trip...but I wish they would have just slept the whole way, LOL!
Let's just say, I am in no way shape or form looking forward to another road trip!!

Getting rid of JUNK!

This past weekend JR went out to clean the garage....whew! It was A LOT. We had all this baby stuff that we no longer use, plus our old above ground pool....basically, we had a bunch of stuff that is just wasting space, and collecting dust. So I went out on Monday and took pictures of everything and posted it all on craigslist! I am shocked at how fast it all is going so far I have sold a huge bulk of it...and made $125 in the process! WooHoo! Anyway, I have spent the last couple of days driving to meet up places, I am hoping to get a few more items sold, but for now...sitting and resting is good enough for me! LOL
We leave Saturday morning for Houston...we will leave around 8, and get there around noon. The party starts at 1:00 and Logan couldn't be more excited! I told him we were going to see Davin for his birthday party and since telling him, I am questioned 20 times a day about when we are leaving to see Davin!!! LOL Unfortunately he doesn't really grasp the idea of time, nor is his memory as short as it used to be! LOL
Well, that's about it for today! Hopefully I will get more stuff sold - I put all my "earnings" into the floor fund, I am hoping to add more to it! (Can you tell how badly I want to get rid of the carpet?)
Oh...tomorrow night we have a babysitter...JR and I are going to dinner and happy hour with JR's company...woohoo! I am excited to do something outside of the house! Looks like its going to be a good weekend!

Celebrations

Today, my grandfather would have been 76 years old! I can't believe he has bee gone a over a year now. I thought that today might bring me tears, but instead I am filled with some of the most wonderful memories and I thank God for the time I had with him. I love you, Papa!
August 7, my memaw, my dad's mom, turned 75 - I can't believe all of my grandparent are in their mid 70's. I have both of my grandmothers still with me - My nanny will be 76 in January.
Yesterday was my older sister's 29th birthday....I seriously can not believe that next year she will be 30...No friggin way! I may not always get along with her or agree with the decisions she makes, but I love her and was happy to get to spend a little bit of time with her.
On Saturday we will head for Houston for Davin's 4th B-day party! These little boys are growing up so quickly! Geesh! I am so excited to see him and the rest of the family! I asked my sister-in-law for ideas on what to get him...I was told "an ipod, dsi, wii games, astros and texans gear" there was something else but I cant remember...My response was, "he's 4" I was like...well I guess I will find some astros or texans gear! Holy cow a wii game alone is $50 - the ipod and dsi are well above that...and not that I am trying to sound cheap...but I AM!!! I was thinking $20 range....I dont even spend $50 on just one toy for my kids...I might spend $50 but they are getting 5 or 6 toys out of it! LOL
Logan slept in his own room - ALL NIGHT last night! Now, that's a reason to celebrate. I couldn't sleep and didn't put away my book until 2:30...knowing that today would be hell...but the kids slept until 8:30. I couldn't believe it!!!
Anyway...happy hump day!

random things

Okay, #1, I dont know if you remember, but a while back I posted about a girl I went to school with who was shot in the arm and the leg. Well that was on April 20, she is doing great, but apparently the media has been trying to get permission to release the security videos of that night. Can you even possibly imagine?? I mean, seriously, first to just go through what she, and the others went through that horrible night is unthinkable, but then - to have it released on the local news, any media outlet, youtube....ughhhhh...I find it disgusting that they would WANT to put the victims through that trauma all over again and again and again...Luckily, Leann, posted today that she had received word from the Attorney General that he was agreed to not allow the videos to be release! Thank goodness!
#2 I applied for my first job today in over 4 years! Yikes...I applied at the La Quinta in town... to be honest - it was kind of more of a trial run that anything else...because I was so nervous! LOL It is a front desk position and only two days a week, so I dont really know how I feel about it at all really...I know that I want to rejoin the work force and save up to go to cosmetology school, but I am not sure what I want to do. Part-time is very practical for me...the kids in daycare only twice a week..I love that idea, but I was hoping to make enough money to pay the car payment, insurance, daycare, gas, and up the savings on the kids college accounts...and the floor fund and put money aside for cosmetology school. I would really like to own my shop...have a chain sometime in the future, be my own boss, make my own schedule....anyway, thats later down the road
#3 Landry is eating 4 containers of food per day! Jeepers Creepers!!! she has cereal (cheerios or puffs) for breakfast, the a vegetable and fruit for lunch and then another vegetable and fruit for dinner! It's funny because I weighed her this morning and she is up to 17.8 pounds!! (I did the math wrong about 2 weeks ago, and told a friend of mine - Nikki- that she weighed 23 pounds...oops!) When I weighed her last week she was 17.4 pounds and I about flipped out...I called JR and was like - she lost 6 pounds in a week! Oh my god, oh my god....I am taking her to the ER...He told me to calm down, explaining that she has been acting happy and healthy and it wasn't possible...saying maybe the scale was wrong..I was like...noooo it's not. So I went to wear I wrote down her weight and I read it to him, I was like it says I weighed 134.2 and then I weighed myself with her and it said 151.6...that's 23 pounds. He was like, ummmmm no that is 17 pounds...then I just felt stupid!LOL
#4 There is soooo much to do around my house - Gross! I dont want to do it
#5 Logan is still trying to sleep on his own....its still a work in progress, but I guess only time will tell!

A few days in...

Okay, we are 3 days in to Logan sleeping in his own room...whew! Last night was ROUGH! ***SPOILER ALERT*** Yes, I cheated again. Logan went to his room with his computer. He refused to watch a movie...he wanted to play a game! Ughhh, he can be so frustrating. So being the genius that I am, I talked him into playing Handy Manny...I went to his page and picked the Story book...hahaha! So I turned up the volume and let the computer read Logan a Handy Manny story. JR and I went to bed...well JR went to bed, and I lay there reading. I can hear Logan talking...he gets louder and LOUDER. That went on for a while, until he was REALLY loud. I went to his room and told him he had to be quiet and go to sleep, or I would take away the computer. I went back to bed to read again. At 11:00 my eyes were getting heavy so I went to check on him. HE was still awake. Ughhh. So I told him I was going to put on a movie....no more games, it was night night time. He threw a fit. I closed the computer, and told him either he watches a movie or no computer at all...he continued yelling. I laid down with him until he calmed down. Went back to my room. At 11:45 he came and said he wanted the movie. Geez, so I went to his room and put on Wall-E. At 12:15 he said he wanted to sleep with mommy. So, back to his room I went. I laid there for 15 minutes and I could no longer keep my eyes open so I told him goodnight and went back to my room...he was still awake when I left! at 12:45 he crawled in bed with us, waking me up. I promptly got up and carried him to his room. He cried and cried, breaking my heart by saying I want to sleep with you mommy...mommy, I sorry. I loves you mommy.....OH dear GOD! This went on until 2:15. I would put hime in his bed, and walk away...not saying anything to him. He would pretty much just follow me back to my room and get in bed...I dont think I even sat down but maybe twice. Just back and forth back and forth. At 2:15 I heard Landry stirring around, and I didn't want Logan's crying to wake her up, and I most certainly didn't want to have two kids on my hands at that time. So I let Logan get in bed with us. I laid down and listened. I wanted to make sure Landry was completely back asleep. It took about 10 minutes...and as soon as I thought I was going to drift off to sleep I stood up, picked up a sleeping Logan and took him to his room! He remained there until 6:30 this morning...once again, I let him stay. I am PRAYING that JR might have tomorrow off, and let him go through this process tonight so that I might get some sleep!!!! Maybe...Hopefully!
We are just beginning day 2 into the sippy cup with Landry. In my opinion, we have already made huge progress, and yet I dont want to get ahead of myself. LOL Yesterday I gave her some Juice water...I filled it to about 3/4 full, and I just gave it to her throughout the day. When she finished a meal, or an hour after a bottle...just whenever, she ended up drinking over half of it!!! So I put another 3/4 juice water in her vup today, and already she has begun drinking it!!! I plan to keep her on the juice water for an entire week. I want her to get used to it and next friday I will start putting formula in the sippy cup. She will still get her morning and evening bottles...and in all honesty I may ween her slowly. I think I might just take one bottle away every 3-4 days and let her keep the night time bottle until about a week before her 1st birthday. One thing is certain tough...the day she turns 1 will be the day she no longer has a bottle. I waited too long to take the bottle away from Logan, and I would rather not go through that torture again! LOL
ON a downward note, I just realized while writing this blog, that altough I have done SO MANY things differently with Landry than I did with Logan(The experiment), I may forsee a potential disaster....Okay, that is being a little dramatic...but here is the problem. It took FOREVER to get Landry to even take a bottle. The girl was over 7 months old! She will be 10 months in a few short days...but as you can see - she hasn't been on the bottle long, but I digress. THe problem is that she hasn't once taken the bottle while sitting up. I always lay her on the boppy so that she is at least proped up. While she has only had the sippy cup consistantly for two days, I am doing the same thing. She can hold her own bottle and all that, but not sitting up. She should probably start learning that soon..being able to sit, hold up a cup or bottle and tilt her head back...right? Am I delaying her muscle development by letting her do it the easy way? Oh gosh, if there is one thing I have learned about parenting, it's this....What is easy now, only leads to being harder, later...in other words...EASY doesn't equal CORRECT!! Well, I will start working on her holding a bottle and sitting up TODAY!
Now I have a massive migraine coming on from a lack of sleep...so I am going to eat, take some medicine, and rest, before I become debilitated!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Oh Happy Day!

Today has been truly wonderful! Two nights ago, I guess I had finally had enough..JR and I broke down and actually did it. We forced Logan to go to sleep in his own bed - the sad part is...I had to give back his bed, which is SOOOO comfortable! LOL The first night was great!! Okay, I cheated...he didn't take a nap during the day so he actually fell asleep on the couch and I moved him upstairs. Luckily, he never woke up and he stayed in his bed ALL NIGHT! Last night was night #2. It wasn't nearly as rough as I expected. At bed time I went upstairs with the computer so he could watch a movie...I need to get another DVD player, just haven't done it yet. Anywho, I turned on the movie, kissed him goodnight, said out I love yous, and left. He stayed in the bed until 4 this morning, at which time he came into the room crying because the computer had died and his movie was no longer on. So I went downstairs, got the computer charger and set up the movie again...he was asleep before I even hit play. I think it was just waking up in the middle of the night and not having it on that bothered him. He slept for the next few hours and then came into the room again at 6:00 this morning and climbed into bed with me. Yes I cheated AGAIN, because I let him stay. Tongiht, I am hoping he will make it the entire night and morning...we will see!!!Plus, I am going to try my hardest not to cheat!LOL
Now, on to today. We got up this morning and did the morning routine. Washed Logan's face...washed mine...then brushed our teeth. I always let Logan brush his while I brush mine...then I brush his again...just to help him out! Wink wink! Today, I brushed Landry's as well...I usually do the wash rag brush...but today was our first tooth brush brush!!!I just used water, but still, it was a "first". The girl only has four teeth...which still seems crazy to me..Logan had a mouth full by this age, but no matter...every baby is different! We went downstairs to have breakfast. I had a bowl of cereal, Logan had 2 bowls of cereal, and Landry had some cheerios and a handful of sweet potato puffs! The kids have been pretty good all day. For lunch I made so grilled chicked bites (my version of healthy chicken nuggets!) some green beans, dry cheerios, a glass of milk, and a fresh peach! Landry had two handfuls of Sweet potato puffs, two handfuls of cheerios, (baby) green beans...in which Logan took a bite! LOL, (baby) apple sauce...in which Logan also had a few bites!!! Hahaha I still haven't given her any meats yet...but that will come soon enough. Another big thing or transition is that I started Landry on the sippy cup today! She will still get a bottle throughout the day, at least for a while...but we are going to give the sippy cup a go! I can't believe how much she is growing..It almost makes me want to consider having another baby....ALMOST! LOL
Anyway, so much is happening...I was so proud of the meal that I made for Logan...HEALTHY!!! I feel like such a good mommy! hahah

Stop, Go, Go, Go

Well, I can honestly say that I have done NOTHING but play with the kids, watch tv, change diapers, play on the computer, and play with the kids some more. It has been nice and relaxing. But now it is time to get busy. I called the Car Dealership yesterday to make an appointment. When we bought the car I noticed that there was an area of chipped paint and they made up an invoice and told us to just bring it in and they would fix it...So that is tomorrow morning at 9:45. I SERIOUSLY need to go to the grocery store today. It just gets SO hot that I dont want to even go outside, but I HAVE to do it today...I have been putting it off! This weekend JR will be working, but I plan on taking the kids to the pool...maybe, I say THAT everyday as well, but it's SOOOO FREAKING HOT. Next week is more of the same, chores, paying bills, watching kids, and applying for jobs, looking for daycare....all that good stuff!! Anyway, that's all I am really up to right now!!!
Happy Hump Day

Weekend Fun

Wow....this weekend was FUN! JR's sister, Brittany, and another friend, Robyn her boyfriend and two kids came to stay with us. They got here Friday night. We stayed up talking for a while, and making jell-o shots, then retreated to bed to get plenty of rest for Saturday.
My sister, Randi, and her two kids met us at the house on Saturday and we all loaded up and headed to the river. My best friend, Dana, met up with us as well as my sister's friend, Evelynn, and her son. JR made a stereo cooler during the week, so that came with us and was AWESOME. We had 9 adults and 7 kids floating, and it was a blast. Robyn's kids are 13 and 9, Mason is 8, Isabella will be 8 next month, Isaiah will be 5 in a few months, Logan who is 3 and Landry at 9 months...so it was easy to keep up with them since most of the kids are just that, kids...as opposed to MY babies. We floated the river and tied off towards the end for several hours...the kids played on the rope swing and had a great time. We had such a wonderful time and people kept coming up to join us! LOL Probably one of m favorite river trips this summer! Landry got to make a few friends...we met a 6 month old baby girl and an 11 month old baby girl and although Logan was all about playing with Isaiah, he even made a new friend that was 3 as well.
We got off the river about 7:30 and headed to the Salt Lick....ummmm, seriously the best Bar B Que in the world. By the time we got home we all CRASHED. JR had to be at work at 6:30, and wasn't to thrilled about being in the sun and hungover, but he got to come home for a few hours between 10:30 and 12:30 before heading back. He got home around 5 and proceeded to go straight to sleep...LOL! Poor guy!
While all the kids were here, they played the Wii, and Logan started playing, Something he hasn't done in about 4 or 5 months...now, it's ALL he wants to do!
Today was a LAZY day..well, not for JR, but for the rest of us. Randi and the kids left the house around 1 to go back to the river with some of her friends. She invited me and the kids....and it would have been fun, but I just couldn't do it. The kids and myself needed to recover. ME, probably more so than the kids...but still!
Hope everyone else's weekend was as wonderful as mine! JR will be working this weekend and then we will head to Houston for our nephew's, Davin, 4th birthday! We can't wait to see him!
