So long!....for a week

We are heading to Garden City, SC, for a week! I am so excited! I personally haven't been to the beach since I was pregnant w/ Ben, which was....gosh....5 years ago! I can't wait to see the kids playing on the beach and watching Lukey's first beach experience! I so need a vacay from work and just everyday life it's not even funny!
We'll be back next Sat. and hopefully I'll have lots of cute pictures to post!
Have a great week!

Benisms


Ben is funny, he just says funny, random things. I want to start writing down funny stuff he is saying or else I will forget. I actually want to start writing down funny stuff all my kids say. I know Madeline has said plenty of stuff that I just knew I would remember and of course I have forgotten. So here are some things Ben has been saying lately....

We had some whipped cream left over from sundaes we made for Father's Day and he had some pudding for dessert last night and told me he wanted to put some "wooden" cream on his pudding.

Also last night he had taken his shirt off and I asked him what he did with it and he said "I put it in my dirty cloths "hamster".

One last thing that stands out is he has a shirt with a guy on a surfboard and at first he really thought and would argue with you that it was a snail on a pickle. What a funny little guy!

Little Fishes
















We headed to Austin, Tx late last week and over the weekend, for Matt's brothers high school graduation. We had a great visit and Madeline and Ben had a blast swimming almost the entire time!





We didn't take Lukey along for the this trip, he stayed with my parents, but he will definitley be joining us the next visit.

One day little guy, one day!

Sicky

Well, Ben is still sick. This is going on day 5 for him. I can't recall him ever being this sick before. Thursday night it started with the vomiting and continued that night and into the next day. Then the diarrhea kicked in. Then the fever. The whole time he has been lying around doing nothing. Totally unlike him. He has been drinking and has had a few nibbles of food here and there. Yesterday morning he perked up and ate some breakfest, but then he was back on the couch complaining of his tummy hurting and the diarrhea started back up. Guess were he is now, yep on the couch asleep. He is a sick little boy, I tell ya! Thankfully no one else has gotten sick(yet)!
Not being able to get out of the house for the last few days, is not good for mama either. I get depressed. I have a tendancy towards depression anyway, but being cooped up is not good for me mentally. By the 5th day I don't want to shower or clean or cook or do much of anything but lay on the couch.
Most importantly though I just want my boy to get better! If he's not better by tomorrow, we may have to make a trip to the doctor, which I have been putting off cause I know I will just get the "It's a virus" and be out $25 for the copay. I'm hoping he will be a new boy tomorrow and we won't have to even worry about it!
If you think about it, just say a prayer for my little guy!

Friday night after work I went grocery shopping because we were in a bad way. I usually have to go twice since we run out of something or another. Saturday morning Ben woke up and wanted some cereal for breakfest and looked in the frig and goes,
"Mama you got milk, I'm so proud of you!!"

Ahh, it's so nice when you can make your kids proud huh?

Here is my boy. My funny, adorable little man, who loves to laugh and watch his big sister and brother. Who loves balls and shoes. Who is starting to babble and to dance. Who loves to eat and loves his daddy! He has completed our family and I can not imagine or remember our life without him in it!




I love you Lukey-Boo.

I'm waaaay behind the times.

Well, I did it. This morning I joined ebay. Yes, I am very behind. I was looking for a certain pair of shoes for Lukey and I couldn't find them at the mall in his size or on any of the usual websites I would go to to find these shoes, so I broke down and signed up for ebay. They are not the exact shoes I wanted but for less than 15 bucks, I ain't complaining! They are still cute and pretty much what I was looking for. I hope I win. I wanted them in time for his birthday, but seeing as that is this Saturday I don't know if that will be happening.

What is wrong with my child??


I think it was last week, Madeline got this crazy idea to cut a big huge bald spot in the middle of her right eyebrow. Yep, that's right. Apparently she decided to forgo tweezers and instead use our lovely house scissors. She's somethin' I tell ya! Anyway I leave you with a picture of her lovely work.

I love shoes...


I went shopping yesterday with my mom and Madeline and Luke to get a gift for a bday party that Madeline will be going to today. She picked up some cute little earrings for her friend and I got an awesome pair of shoes! In my pre kid days I was a shoe addict and thought nothing of spending a fortune on a pair of shoes. I haven't spent over $25 on a pair of shoes in ages. This pair was over $25, not ridiculously so, but definitly more than I usually pay.

I love them! They're not practical at all, but they are so cute! I thought I'd show them off.

It's that time...

Need....to.....do.....laundry.....today. I've got moutains and mountains of the stuff all over my house. I still don't understand how that much laundry can accumulate over just a few days, but I guess with 5 people in the same house it's inevitable. So.....I need to get on that.

Hello from us...







I thought I would post some pics since it has been so long.. Enjoy

Long time no post

Well, internet it has been forever since I've even logged on to blogger. I haven't even thought of posting. With work and kids and just life I just didn't feel like I had anything to write about. I'm feeling motivated and so I'm gonna try to post more and comment more to the blogs I read regularly.
Lots and lots has been going on since I last wrote.
We moved to a bigger and better house in Sept. We're still unpacking and fixing stuff. Right now Matt is working on the kid's bathroom.
Currently I'm not working, but will start working next Thurs. doing an as needed position. I'm excited.
The kids are growing up too fast. The baby is crawling and pulling up. We're betting he's gonna be walking soon. Didn't seem like he was a baby long at all!
The two big kids have both had birthdays, in fact B is having his party today. Spiderman, 5 crazy little boys, cake, should be loads of fun! I'm definitley gonnna need my glass of wine afterwards.
M is doing great in 1st grade, although I think she tends to get bored. She is loving dance and wants to take horseback riding, we'll see about it this spring.
Well, internet I'm gonna really try to do better about posting from now on.
