COMPUTER!!!

It came yesterday and I'm all hooked up and ready to go!!!!! The monitor is huge, Jesse's overkill. The wireless keyboard doesn't work though, so we have to send that in.

We're Disney bound again!

Kailey has changed her mind again and wants to go to Disney!! I'm so glad she changed her mind. lol I was really looking forward to our Princess Party!

Glad today is over!

Ashlyn didn't get to sleep last night until late because she's a night owl. Even thought I put her to bed at 8pm, she's still up until midnight or so. So she was so cranky today and didn't take much of a nap. I'm just going nuts and would really like a vacation or a night out with a drink. lol/ Ayden got his report card today. He's doing so well! I'm so glad he got Jesse's learning ability, unfortunately, I think Kailey got mine. I'm so proud of him and hope Kailey will be the same way.

WOOHOO!!

Jesse just bought me a computer!!! It's a desk top, but I guess it's really good though. I don't care, I just need a computer! I'm so excited and can't wait for it to get here. Now I need to find a desk.

My Thumb Sucker!

Isn't this so cute?!

Step 1 - install, Step 2 - download pictures!!!

I have tons of pictures on my camera that I haven't been able to download. Today I'm installing my camera software on Jesse's computer. So FINALLY I'll be able to post recent pictures of the kids.

Extream Makeover Home Edition

I was watching it for the first time tonight. The lady was telling Ty about how her husband died of cancer and how his last night went. Now I can't stop thinking about my Grandpa. He died 9 years ago on the 25th from cancer. I was hoping the day would pass this year without me noticing. No such luck...

Can I go back to sleep now?

Oh boy! The kids messed up Kailey's room which is incredible since most of the toys are down stairs. I was furious, but I just went down stairs and Jesse had the kids clean it up and then take nap. Now I just need to vacuum Ashlyn's room, our room, and Dylan's room. I think I'm going to be lazy for most of the day though.

A Clean House!

Last night we dropped the kids off at my mother in law's for the night. Well, except Dylan. ;) Jesse, Dylan, and I went to Olive Garden and IKEA. We got some storage totes for all the kids toys. They are going in the laundry room and they will have to "check" the toys out to play with them and they will have to return them to check something else out. The toys are getting out of hand and I can't keep my house clean because there are so many toys around here! And I got a new vacuum!! :D

Yup...

It's dead! Now I have to get a new one somehow.

Computer Woes still...

not sure how long this laptop is going to last. It took me forever to get it up and running this morning.

My computer

Finally works!!!!!!! YAY!!!! It was working for all of an hour last month but I put it in sleep mode and it got stuck there. lol

Today- NUTS!

Oh boy, today was nuts. Dylan and I finally slept well last night. Then we got up to take Heidi to school (Jen is sick again!) and then all craziness happened. Dylan would not go to sleep, just cried and cried. So after I picked up the kids from school, we went to get my mom so I could run into Rite Aid for some Hylands teething tablets. That didn't do anything, so I gave him some Tylenol and nursed him and he finally went to sleep. My poor little boy has cried most of the day.

I did somehow manage to get some work around the house. All the laundry is done, I hung the new shower rod and stripped the caulk from around the tub. Tomorrow after dance, we're taking the kids to Jesse moms and I think Jesse, Dylan, and I are going to see a movie...that Cloverfield movie. And then Saturday we're doing a picture retake of Dylan. The picture we ordered, didn't turn out, so they want to reshoot. Then Jesse and I are cleaning the crap out of the house. Ever since Dylan was born, it's been so hard for me to keep up on just keeping it clean. Laundry is always done for the most part, just the toys are getting out of hand!

Need a vacation!

I asked Jesse for a trip to FL for Valentines Day. I need some warmth and escape from Ayden, Kailey, and Ashlyn. lol

Oh today has been nuts! Dylan marathon nursed all night long and pulling at his ear. So he has a doctors appointment at 1:50 tomorrow. Hopefully I'm just being paronoid. I'm just ready for today to be over with. On a great note, Jen found a job!! I'm so excited for here.

OMGosh, I completely forgot!

I took Ayden and Dylan to a Red Wings game last month! It was so fun, we were playing the Hurricanes and we beat the crap out of them! It was an awesome game, Ayden got a little bored, and Dylan saw the Wings score 2 goals. So much fun! Jesse, Kailey, and Ashlyn stayed home. lol

The Homebirth of Dylan Andrew

Grocery Shopping

I know I shouldn't shop at Walmart, but I do. Not often though and I get a lot of grief for it. But one of the Walmarts is now a Super Center and Jesse gave me the ok to grocery shop there. Grocery shopping at Walmart hurts their bottom line, I guess.

So I go, and I bought a bunch of organic stuff, and quite a bit of meat, and spent the same as I would have at Kroger without the meat and organic items! I was shocked at the savings. Jesse was impressed too. I'm just so excited to be able to buy my family organic items and not break the bank! lol

Hopefully soon, we'll be buying into an CSA and an organic cattle farm.

Kailey's birthday trip...

Kailey and I were going to go to Disney for her birthday. But after Jon and Kate Plus 8 at Chocolate World, she decided she wanted to go there instead. So we're going to camp there in June and do Hershey Park and Chocolate World.

Dylan in his walker!

He's known how to move backwards, but today he started moving forward! He's such a smart little bugger! lol

LLL Conference in Grand Rapids!

Oh Dylan and I are so there! Dylan is crying, I'll be back!

Coming soon...

Picture of my kiddos!!! Well, some older ones because I have to upload all my new ones still.

Happy New Year!

Gosh, what a year! From trying for a baby to having a wonderful home waterbirth. It has been an amazing year! Ayden is in Kindergarten, Kailey is in preschool, tap, and ballet. Ashlyn is talking up a storm and telling on her brother and sister. Dylan just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

I can't wait to see what this year has in store.
