Oh yes...that's right...she did it... *I told her no to eating yougurt the other day....BECAUSE she had just ate one like a hour before...and gavin comes in and says ' momma did you say brooklynn could eat more yougurt?' .... i said nope sure didn't..and there she was...alying under the coffee table..on her stomach eating it...! what a sight that was..b/c it had managed to get up in her hair at the same time.... *What about this one...classic... SHe wanted to play with some playdoh...not a probably..she had played with it before, and yes she had tried eating some, decieded that she didn't care for it, so out it came...BUT....she came in and was carrying some and I said go put that back on the table...and she turned and had a HUGE lump of it ..... IN HER BEAUTIFUL BLONDE HAIR!! At first I freaked for like 3 seconds..b/c I THought man her hair is gonna have to be cut..it took 2 yrs to get this long!! BUt then i started laughing and thought ok...need to do something and something soon...I got online and somebody had suggested just a warm bath...and shampoo..so in she went..got her hair wet... and soapy...and you know what....OUT IT CAME Just like it was nothing...!!!! SO YAY for that..!! Next month noah's sister is getting married and my kids are in it..gavin's the ringbearer and brooklynn is a flowergirl along with another one. WE found her dress last week and it's cute and fluffy!! Just am trying to get gavin measured for his lil tux..he's gonna be so handsome.. He has this thing where he wants to wear his sunglasses while he walks down and of course his aunt becca said he sure could..LOL..funny huh? Ok ...thoguht I'd post something it had been awhile and I don't know when's the next time I might be able to sit and do this!! hehe ~ Have a great week~~

this time last year...

2008-11-08T20:29:00.002-06:00

she had hives this day...first time in her life...but they was gone shortly after that...look how little jesse was?? :]

this is gavin last year on his 4th b-day.....i was just going through some old photos and thought....WOW how the kids have changed so much!!

Today i was able to go on a short trip for a ladies banquet!! It was awesome and I was VERY much needed for me... i'm so glad that we have such a godly christian pastors wife, and she makes sure that we are able to go to several throughout the year and we take ladies trips...it's just ablast!!

GIVING IT TO GOD"...... and being thankful.It weird how God knows just what we NEED at the right timing...and just learning to lean on God 100% and doing it all for God...something that every one of us ladies need to hear!! Especially the SAHM's!! :)

Also ...talking to each other when you have issues with one another, being thankful for you church family..we sure are blessed that's for sure!! Just letting how one another feel and not making hard feelings toward one another and then just deciding not to talk to a person!! Just being ladie like and mature about things....

anyways it was such a blessing to me!

have a GREAT day in the Lords house tomorrow!!

BRRRrrrrr!

He got to go on his very 1st field trip yesterday...To the firestation!! Which he only LOVED! so yay for him!

God has blessed us and him with his health turning around for the good! The kids and I went down to the pond down the block and stayed for about an hour. We feed the ducks, turtles, chased them, they just ran and ran around .It was nice to just take a afternoon and stop and spend it with the kids. Gavin, sitting sit and not talking...yes imagine that! We was watching this turtle that kept coming closer and closer to us! And of course My baby girl and I... She's such a mommy's girl and full of her own personality. I'm so thankful for a boy and a girl!

Quick post

2008-08-11T15:09:00.003-05:00

So I had to post some adorable girls!! Miss Kaytee is 2 1/2 wks old now And aunt becca get s the credit for this picture...we was at Mcalister's.. YUM

Hello friends...

Just to let you know Brooklynn DID come down with the chickenpox, but thankfully not but a handful of them. However she does have a few in her throat but seems to be eating/ drinking just fine.

Gavin came down with a fever in just like 15 minutes last nite, all the sudden, and is still running a low grade one today. As of right now, so sign of a chickenpox on him, but that doesn't mean he can't and won't get them.

They've both had the shot for them, so that proves to not work but it might of helped with them not getting them so badly... and it'll be gavin's 2nd time around if they appear on him. But he was 1 1/2 last time.

It's going around church real badly. Alot of the adults are getting them also. And my hives have been acting up something terrible... this weekend we didn't step foot out of the house...so porr brooklynn has been "jailed" for almost a week now..poor baby :( Shes fine though, up and playing... just a little tired..

Ok better get some rest for now...

Later girlies

just some stuff...

2008-08-07T22:04:00.002-05:00

This is our new yard furniture! which i just love....!! We have another chair and then a "loveseat" to go along with it.. but I've been looking for something for the front porch... and wanna guess where i got it?? for only $9.99??? GOODWILL my friends!! :) Now i just HAD to share these "sleeping" pictures with you.. i've done it in the past and just wanted to share with you guys...she still does it!! Isn't it just cute??? :P

More news... the Chickenpox are going around at church.... so as of right now, thursday nite. my kids don't have them and am praying they don't. Brooklynn is the only one i'm really worried about b/c we try to NOT add any more DRAMA in her world as it is! tehehe...........

Until later ...! ~ amber ~

Tennessee Aquaruim.....it was awesome to say the least! The kids could pet the sting-rays & sharks here. Actually I think Noah and I wasn't ready to leave this part! It was so neat to be able to touch em! Brooklynn LOVED touching them, gavin... um not so much! hehe Outside of the place.... Inside the gift shop, I thought this was really neat! Is this not awesome? I mean only GOD could make this :) And the butterfly garden. It was sooo pretty and they was just everywhere. Brooklynn was chasing them and I have some pic's of Noah holding them.

Hey there~ I haven't forgotten about the pictures from vacation, but this thing won't let me upload them at the moment for some reason...... But i'm trying!!! :] I kinda got side-tracked with my lil niece being born and all! hehe She's just so precious and I want to hold her all the time!!! I'll be trying to post throughout the day today though! until later............................ hopefully

She's HERE!! I'm a AUNT!!!

2008-07-25T22:19:00.001-05:00

~ KAYTEE JO~ has arrived!!! Now is that not the most precious thing you've ever seen? She's a doll and very good baby girl! She arrived thur. nite at 8:06p.m. and weighed 8lbs & 5 oz and was 20 1/2 in. long. She's doing good and mommy is doing good, just really sore right now. I was able to be there when she was born!!! so yaya for me!! "the Girls" :) Brooklynn can't get enough of her and wants to hold her ALL THE TIME! She looks just like her daddy! But has her momma's nose hehe

Can you say "proud daddy" when you see this picture?? hehe But who wouldn't be right? All three of mom's grandkids have been born at the same hospital, so that was kinda neat.

- Sorry about the delay on the vacation picture, but was just to excited about Kaytee being here now. we've all waited such a long time! haha

It's late and i'm tired so later girls! ~Amber ~

WE ARE BACK FROM VACATION FROM GEORGIA!!! On the way there... one of our few stops, I let the kids out to run around. (noah doesn't like to stop at all!) He always cracks me up with his silly faces. It stormed most of the day there. We left saturday afternoon. 9 hours and then we stopped for the nite. St. Loius Another cute smile from him :) I will be trying to post day by day of what we did. We had a BLAST, and it was so relaxing and we loved getting to spend time with noah's family. Gavin loved having his "cousins" around to play with often also.
