SPANISH AGAIN!
Soccer
McKinlee has finally joined a sport. First one ever, but it 
will NOT be his last. I am getting ready to sign him up for T-ball.
The Saturday before Easter he had his first game.
So I Have Been Told... I'm A Slacker!
I have recently been told I'm slacking on the updates. So here I am today to update you on my crazy life...
Let's see, my house, well my house is a house that I could potentially love one day when it is completely finished being remodeled, but for the time being I am completely miserable living in my house. I dream of a new one all the time -- how sad is that, at least I have a roof over my head, even if it leaks...
My job, that is going well, staying extremely busy, although no overtime is allowed, I miss that! But at least I have a job and a paycheck coming in...
My other half, he stays busy staying on the road 4-5 days of the week, he complains, he is over worked and under paid, but at least he has a job and a paycheck coming in...
My oldest, McKinlee, he loves school, he is reading like crazy now. That in itself is a wonderful thing. He joined soccer and wants to join T-ball in June. He's getting so big so fast and every day he reminds me more and more of his father, with his laziness and selective hearing, but at least he is healthy and happy...
My youngest, Maddock, he has become a real motor mouth. He will repeat anything and everything so WATCH what you say around him. For life of me I can not figure out what is going on with him lately, what I mean is when I go to drop him off at daycare he freaks and for the past week he will NOT stay a sleep in his crib. I'm gonna have to do some tough love with the sleep issue, as for the daycare issue, I eventually get out of there and they say he is fine seconds after I'm gone, but at least he is healthy and happy...
What's with all the "at least" you may be asking well, I've been reading YES can you imagine me READ, I know its gonna snow in Hawaii. Seriously, I've been flowing this blog www.mycharmingkids.com and this family is going through absolute torture right now. Their youngest child just turned 5 months old and has been hospitalized for the past two weeks with a fatal heart condition called SVT. As I read the blog and listen to the mother's words regarding her baby boy Stellan, I think to myself, I can't believe I yelled at McKinlee this morning for that or I worry to much about the small stuff. Here is this women who has 4 children but is sitting in a hospital watching her baby fight for his life, and she is helpless to him, who am I to complain about the weather, money, my house, my kids not listening - all I can say is, "AT LEAST"
At Least:

At Least:
I have my health
I have two healthy happy boys
I have a roof over our heads
I have a job
I have a car that gets me to my job
I have a boss that is understanding of unexpected family problems
I have a happy healthy family
I have happy healthy friends
most of all I have the will to pray when I need to and I pray for those that need
Do you have an "at least?" Share with me...
Me BAD...
I am here to say "I'm sorry!" I have been very consumed with life lately, and I just have not had the time nor the opportunity to blog as much as I would like to. So here I am, what do I need to tell you.
Let's start with McKinlee. McKinlee started soccer yesterday at the Y. He loved it. His first game is Saturday March 28th. He is part of the "Moo Cows" very cute. His first game is against the Giraffs, go figure "fat and friendly vs. tall and weird," haha! Any how I believe this will be really good for him, he will learn to be part of a team and also that he is not always first.
On to Maddock. Maddock is talking so much now, the stuff that comes out of this kids mouth amuzes me so much these days. However, he has become very clingy, he doesn't want to go to anyone. Screams when I leave him at daycare won't go to child watch at the Y but at least I know he loves me :) Daycare, that's another story, everyday this week I've had to sign an incident report for him being BIT!

The BIG 35 has arrived...
Okay so on Thursday, February 12, 2009, I turned the BIG 35! And you know something, the 35 wasn't the problem, the number did NOT make me feel old, but what did make me feel old was the fact that my oldest nephew Taylor is 18 and graduating from High School this year. That makes me feel OLD!
But anyhoot, my birthday started off GREAT, my brother Wayne, Carolyn, Casey and Nicole gave me a gift card to Starbucks (my favorite coffee store), and lottery tickets. When I scratched them off I won a total of $103.00 YEAH for me! One of the best presents one could hope for. Thank you again!
My co-workers decorated a little, gave me a really nice card and they got me a huge Carvel cake, so exciting. My friends at work really made me feel special. Carla, Kelly and Tracy took me out to lunch as well. THANK YOU LADIES!!!!
Next -- Mom and Dad came by, also bought me a little Carvel cake Yummie!!! and my gift, something I have wanted for a really really long time...
Yes, my cast iron pot with cermic inlay. So excited, I seasoned the edges this past weekend, gonna cook in it this coming weekend. I can't WAIT! Now all I need is the big frying pan to go with... hint hint!
Awards Day!
Friday, February 13th was Awards Day at Shadybrook Elementary, and YES once again McKinlee received an award. His award for this quarter was for Outstanding Student in Music.
YES, they spelt his name wrong. I'm not exactly sure which school the creative one graduated from but apparently reading was not their best subject.

This FACE just screams MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Giving Back...
Okay so most of you know I have a weak spot in my heart for dogs, and I have not been able to give to the ASPCA as much or as often as I would like to, so instead we decided to foster a puppy for a week to give her a loving and warm home to socialize with people, kids and other dogs. When Bobbie Socks first arrived at our house she was timid, then she developed 
some sort of eye gook and quit eating. After three days of NO eating Lee got her to eat some chicken broth. Well the next day she was a totally different puppy. She was eating, playing, barking... basically being a puppy. We took her back for adoption a week later, we told the people that if she did NOT get adopted we would like to foster her for another week. Guess what? They didn't call so Bobbie Socks hopefully has a permanent home. But I did take a few photos of the cute little fluff ball...

Gingerbread House
Okay call me stupid BUT back at Halloween time McKinlee and I made a Haunted Ginger Bread house. First time for the both us. Being that it was my first house I had no clue that you really eat those things so I tossed it after the holiday. However, Lee informed me that you are able to eat them, so needless to say the boys and I made one for Christmas too! I say the boys and I lightly, McKinlee and I made it... Maddock enjoyed the candy!
