Happy Birthday lovebug

A little late but better late than never!

Happy 6th Birthday Kamryn!  I hope you had a great birthday and got everything you asked for!

I am so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy, smart, outgoing, artistic, sweet daughter.  Our family would not be complete with out you. You brighten up my world more than you will ever know! You are my miracle baby, My Pride & Joy! I love you!

Thanks to everyone who acknowledged Kamryn’s birthday by either sending a card, calling, sending a present, or sharing her special day with her! It’s nice to know that she has family & friends who love , care and think of her like Mike & I do.

Family

Family is the essence that helps define our very identity, it shapes who we are; what we are to become; how we hand down our beliefs to our children. They follow our lead as how to react and act to our family members.

Family means believing , loving, and supporting each other through bad times and through prospariety.

Devotion–Sharing–love–laughter–carring–crying–warmth–smiles–memories:

these emotions shape up our very exsistence. The family unit is forever being torn apart by events and emotions. How very sad that families can be broke apart by misunderstandings.

If families are not worth your fighting for to keep intact—is your life worth more with out your family?

Think about it.

I got this from my Mother In Law.  I decided to post it because well I liked it and want to share it with my family and whoever else reads my blog.

Summer 2009 recap

We had a really great summer this year .. We spent alot of time with all the kids and got a few days/nights in for ourselves. I would have to say it has been one of the best summers we’ve had in a while.  We went to alot of bbq’s , went to the beach & my moms pool alot this summer we took the kids (Maia & Jaden) places they hadn’t been like to the Cove  & Coco’s ..They loved both places. Maia said that she really like the cove because she could go out really far and It still not be that deep. I really enjoyed having Maia & Jaden here every other week this summer. Maia liked staying over alot while Jaden wanted his momma.. He is a mommas boy thats for sure.  Maia liked staying & spending time with her dad & me after the kids went to bed..she got spoiled by daddy. witch was nice..she deserves it.  

In July we didn’t do much, For the 4th we went over Adam & Meghan’s for a bbq & set off fireworks ..Will does NOT like the fireworks..never has but this year he let everyone know how much he dislikes the noise. It was a good time besides Will tripping over having to sit and watch the fireworks.  I had a girls night out ..the first in a really, really long time while Mike had a guys night.. It was great..Me & 2 of my friends went out to Seacrets & had a good time we ran into some old friends from school & met some new friends ..We went out to Denny’s afterwards with some friends .. I didn’t get home until 5am ..I hadn’t stayed out that long since before I had kids and usually Mike was with me..When I got home Mike & his buddy Aaron were sitting on the steps talking ..We sat out there watched the sunrise talking and laughing about what we had done that night. 

We started August off by going to Six Flags with my SIL Christina & her hubby for her birthday.. She didn’t know what we had planned for her..not until we got on the road that leads into Six Flags. All she knew was we were going outta town. It was a nice surprise for her. We knew she’d love going to the Amusement Park without kids. We had a blast.  Christina’s & My favorite was the Joker.  I’ll never ride the Superman again. I  do not like my butt leaving the seat and Im pretty sure it left the seat at least 4 or 5 times. Im petite and always feel like the harnesses aren’t tight enough.. makes me feel like I could slip right out ..Im pretty sure I wouldn’t but still makes me nervous. lol.  Most people who know me know Im terrified of big bridges like the Bay Bridge.. so when we were going over it the first time they knew I wasn’t happy about construction going on, on the bridge.  And all the traffic didn’t help. I figured on the way back since it was late there wouldn’t be so much traffic… I was wrong. so much traffic that the one lane that was open came to a complete stop at the peak of the bridge …I was tripping on the inside. I could feel my chest getting tight..and Mike & Rob didn’t help by thinking it was funny that we came to a complete stop at the peak and could feel the bridge swaying back and forth..not cool!! We were only up there for 5-10 mins but to me it feel like an hour!  We ended the month with a Family BBQ at my Aunts and Family I hadn’t seen in a year or two came .. It was really nice seeing them. Ive missed them. 

Sept started off with another bbq at my moms some friends & family came..it was raining when I woke up but luckily stopped in time for the bbq.   The kids got in the pool for the last time of the year.. It was to chilly for me to get in.  Kamryn started Kindergarden & Will started Pre-k .. that was an adventure all in its self. My boy is a Mommas boy and at the beginning of the summer had started flipping out everytime I tried to leave without him. Even if I was going to the store it was a fight to get out the door.. He would scream & kick and try to get out of the house with me.. holding on to my legs and all. I had to start  getting Mike to hold him down so I could get out. It was a mess..so when school started I knew it was going to a fight. I warned the teacher..I told her that he would flip out and I would have to put him down and run out the door and for her to make sure she was by the door to shut it behind me because he would come running out. and he did. The first day alot of parents were in there and he was doing great put his bookbag up and sat at a table with no problems and then I tried to sneak out and there were some parents in the way and Will caught me and it was all she wrote. He started flipping out ran out the door I had to catch him wait for the parents to leave put him down in a chair and made a  dash for the door I could hear him crying all the way outside ..poor guy..His teacher told me that he crawled under his table and cried for 2 mins and once the class left with the assistance teacher  Mrs Rusch , Will finally came out from under the table and walked to lunch with Ms. S . The Next day was even funnier lol.. He started kicking and screaming before we even got in the school. I got him in the classroom and was helping him take his folder out of his bookbag and he made a dash for the door ..took off running down the hallway I had to run after him..While I was chasing him Kamryn’s class which is two doors down from Will’s was coming out of the classroom heading to lunch and I heard a little voice say hehehe thats my little brother trying to escape…I turned around and Kamryn was standing there with her new little friends laughing…I have to admit it was pretty funny now that I look back on it.. even though it broke my heart knowing he was scared & upset.  He does great now though..well he has his moments but Ms. S says as soon as she walks in the classroom he’s fine.   She says that Will is very smart (witch I already knew ;) ) and that he is complete opposite of Kamryn.. again I already knew.. She says that I prob wont ever have any problems with him talking in class. because everytime a kid tries to talk to him..he cuts his eyes at them and let them know not to mess with him. She says he is more focused than Kamryn. Witch is kinda surprising because when I was working with Kamryn before she started school I never had any problems and with Will he wouldn’t do any of it. He wouldn’t say his abc’s his name birthdate nothing.. I thought for sure I was going to have problems with him in school.  So far both of the kids are doing awesome in school and hopefully it stays that way. 

My brother is getting married Oct 10th and thats been stressful for me anyway..I don’t think its been that stressful for Lauren …She will def. be having her dream wedding down to every detail.  Me & both the little kids are in the wedding… They will be the only kids other than Kresen that will be there. It’s a no kids wedding and NO kids at the reception. I can’t see Will walking down in front of 200+ people. He didn’t want to walk down at my moms wedding and there was maybe 40-50 people there..all of which he knows and has been around his whole life.  Should be fun. 

My little sister is pregnant..Its a total mess! She’s having a girl. She is due in mid Jan.  I hope and Pray that everything goes well and that she grows up the moment the child is born..if not than it will be a bigger mess than it already is. for my niece’s sake I hope everything works out for the best.

Halloween is coming ..its one of my favorite times of the year .. We already got the kids costumes..well I’m not so sure about Will’s. I plan on taking them to Trappe Pond before halloween for some fun.. maybe I’ll be able to take Maia & Jaden too..depends on when it is.  I’m sure the older 3 will love it.. Will idk about lol.

Thanksgiving & Christmas are right around the corner and Im so not prepare..which is nothing new but Its a  very stressful time of the year with Kamryns birthday & buying for 4 kids and trying to fit some family presents in too . Is  stressful.  I already have one big present for the kids lined up..They are going to love it!   I love watching the kids faces when they open their presents ..just dont love all the running around & stress of spending money while trying to pay all the bills on time too.. ugh. that is the part I hate most.

Ill post pics from the summer later. Before I take the computer apart & ship it off to be fixed.

While

Mike was checking his email..He came across this email from AOL telling him it was his last chance to save pictures from his phone & email. Some of these photos neither of have seen before , don’t know where they are taken or how they got in his email. Mike said he doesn’t even remember having these photos taken. Its really weird although we are glad and greatful to have the photos. So maybe those of you who actually look at my blog and see them can fill us in on at least where the pics were taken. I guess I could use this as my Memory Lane Monday…a day late =)

I’m thinking @ Elise’s but Mike says he’s not sure..but reconizes the blanket 

He doesn’t remember taking this photo. Glad it was taken though..Maia was so little and such a little cutie.

1. What are your feelings about milk? I gotta be in the mood for it and it has to be really cold. love milkshakes but won’t drink anything alcoholic made with milk. Me and Will are the only Milk drinkers in the house ..Mike and Kamryn dont like milk…Kam, Jaden & Maia will only drink it if its chocolate or strawberry. 
2. What are your feelings about cheese? Love cheese..especially extra cheesy pizza
3. What are your feelings about yogurt? Love yogurt too.. can’t eat too much of it though.
4. How do you feel about soy milk? Gross! I’ll never drink it..prob because Kamryn had to drink it when she was little and it smelled horrible especially when she spit it up.  makes me gag just thinking about it.
5. How far are you from the nearest cow? about 10 mins

Thanks for participating, and have a moooooooving weekend!
