Stetson wanted a scope for his birthday to go on the 22 cricket rifle he got for Christmas. We found one on Friday and surprised him. He was so excited he could not sleep that night because Ron was taking him shooting on Saturday. He saved his targets to show me and I was impressed he is a good shot. He was pretty proud of his gun and his shooting. Good job babe!
They always have the reflections contests at school and usually we never do them. But this year the boys wanted to so I said ok I think photography would be a good thing to do. So they took the camera and set about taking pictures outside. We then picked their favorite and printed and matted it and they turned it in to school. Yesterday they came home and Tanner had a certificate of excellence and a $5.00 gift card from wal-mart. Stetson told me I could not mention him on here and would not let me take a picture of him. He won 50 cents to spend at the school snake bait shop. I mention it anyways because I am equally proud of them. I think they both did a great job and it takes alot of courage to enter something into contests.
We had a friend party on wed. for stetson. I think he had a good time. He wanted a red velvet cake but he wanted stuff on it like when you buy it at Lin's so I told him I would do my best. Later that night we had stetson's favorite dinner and cake.
Happy 9Th Birthday Stetson. I have not scanned all of my old pictures into the computer so I don't have any of stetson as a baby. But on Feb. 11th 2009 my little boy will be nine years old. That is so crazy to me it seems like just yesterday I was headed to the hospital to have him. I was in labor for about an hour at the hospital before he came into the world and he was beautiful. Times have sure changed with my girls they layed them on me before they were even cleaned up. With stetson I never got to hold him until he was over an hour old. They took him right away to bathe and do vitals and I thought they would never bring him to me. Stetson has been such a joy to us. He is full of stories he never stops telling them and they last for hours some times. I think he is going to write wonderful stories one day. He is so caring and loving . While very demanding he has a very tender heart and cares about everyone. He is always wanting to help anyone on the streets.
Thursday January 22ND was Lainee's 4Th birthday. We had her favorite food (macaroni and cheese and breadsticks) for dinner and some of her grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles came over. She had good time all day she kept telling me mom its my bertday. (she has a south Bronx accent) I was thrilled when I found out I was pregnant with lainee. We had been trying for about 5 or 6 months and so when it happened we were so excited. When I was about 16 weeks along I was getting ready for work and started spotting. The doctors said I had a linear band and told me all sorts of horrifying things that it would cause. We went up to a specialist in salt lake a few days later and found out that not only was everything fine and there was no band, but that we were going to have a girl. I did not actually believe this until she was born. We have so loved her and enjoy her so much. She is her mommy's girl. She follows me everywhere and does exactly what I am doing. She is just a joy to have around and I am so thankful that she is in my life.
Her first Birthday
well my first week of the diet has been a long one of ups and downs. But I am happier to say I am 5 pounds lighter. only 25 more to go for my goal that good news. It has been a long week however of sick children stetson stared with fever and sore throat on Thursday and Friday we went to the doctor for meds and Friday night lainee started and had to suffer through the weekend until today. we headed to the doctor again for more meds.I hope no one else gets it. so since lainee has been sick I cant move from her her side so the really bad news is this is all the movement my treadmill got!
Well we are off. The diet has begun as some of you know Josie and Trish have been setting up a web site where we can post out goals and our weekly loss every Monday. it is www.bloggingourprogress.blogspot.com If you have not let Trish or Josie know that you want to be able to post on it do so. if you don't have their info let me know and I will pass it on. Good luck to everyone.
