Comming back slowly

I don't think I can remember the last time I was sick for so long.I can't believe how long it's taking to feel better. I think if I could hear something in my right ear I wouldn't feel so off balance. Having an ear infection and busting my ear drum, made me think of the little kids.
Jillian has had so many,and she just had one bust her ear drum too.
Poor baby how can she say I can't hear or after a week with antibiotics it still hurts.
So much for feeling better after one day of treatment. I have always wondered how the doctors knew it wouldn't hurt after just a couple doses ,"they'll feel better tomorrow"
I'm still waiting for my tomorrow.
I consider my self having a high pain tolerance,after all I had dental work with no Novocain, and natural child birth!
Okay never mind to many memories with pain...
okay now my ear really hurts.
Glad its Friday!
I'm not getting out of bed all weekend!

After hearing the train whistle, she realized something wasn't right she ran around the corner and saw . It was the worst case of drinking and driving she had ever seen..

Dylan dresses himself !

At home sick

After Grace built herself this little nest, I got the face for disturbing her peace, Gracie just felt my temperature,I'm hot Gracie said. I don't know how I'll make it to the end of the day. But Grace said "I'll take care of the babies" so I guess I'll just rest.

SNOW

I will take you home and love you and pet you and squeeze you......
well..I think I'm cold and want to go in. Maybe we won't have School !
I'm loven it!!

Where is that yellow piece?

Getting ready for Valentines day

I was explaining Valentines day,I said you give a card or candy or maybe flowers to someone you love,like your Dad might give something to your Mom,Colton said ooh, I said whats the matter? he said I want it, Brendan said I want it too,I told them they were getting cards in their boxes. But I think they wanted the candy.Especially since Dylan said, I want Mommas candy.And the rest agreed with him. I love the look on Braydens face! You gotta love them!!

A picture of Heather at 18 months,

Tuesday

Brayden and Mommy playing ,I wish I hadn't cut his head out.

Colton saying goodbye to Mommy

Brayden painting his box.

We played outside till every one said I'm hungry!

What a nice day

We got to go out side and play today,I have a lot of leaf cleaning to do and I did get a big bag out.
I can't wait to go out and play when it's really warm.Everybody had a great time.

HELLO

Well Social Service came to day, and I passed I guess, I didn’t sign papers because her computer was down.
What I COULD have gotten wrote up for.
The kids were eating and Brayden (not buckled) laid across the table (just half his body and one leg!) and kept rolling his cup across her notebook, and every time grape juice would drip on her paper.
Or maybe when we went up stairs to go to bed and Brendan told her “JD was stuck in the floor and we couldn't get her out, we kept hollering get out of the floor! I’ll help you!” and of course Brendan was very animated and yelled it at the same time.
And while he was getting in bed he kept sliding back to the floor, I said Looks like I’m going to have to get somebody’s hinny ,and in all my smartness added “I can’t beat you cause she’s here” yep I said that, Brendan still laughing was now in bed. I said Brendan have I ever whipped your hinny? He didn’t answer, But she said that’s all right I can tell he’s really worried.
Colton pooped his pants, no problem there,, it just put her alone with the other ones and I worried what Brendan was going to say!
To explain the stuck in the floor, All right some times I do things...different. I went up stairs a couple of times. I’ll lie on the floor and talk thru the vents on the floor, I’ll say help I’m stuck in the floor Brendan was saying JD how did you get in there? Then he told me to jump he would catch me, Dylan said I’ll get the gate, (I guess to let me out)
I heard him shaking the gate and then he came back and told Brendan. I can’t open the gate! I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't get off the floor (which is hard enough.)
The next time(one day this week) I went up and took the vent cover off and stuck my hand thru ,I told them to look up, Then it was on, Colton kept walking around saying where are you, I never could get him to look up.
I can see them and finally Brayden and Dylan spotted me Brayden was trying to say something, and Dylan started yelling I see her I see her! Brendan came over and saw me and said grown up like (with his hands on his hips) JD what have you done.
Brayden was already standing on the sofa still talking, Brendan and Dylan stood on the couch reaching up saying I can’t reach you I’ll pull you out! I was laughing so hard. When I heard Brendan say okay guys what do we gonna do now, I came down stairs. When I did Brendan and Dylan ran over Brendan said JD you were stuck in the floor and I couldn't reach you.
To funny!!That’s what I do to your kids while you’re working. But man its fun.

One last tater tot

Going.......... Going......................

just one last................

Your Out !!

SNOW ! YES!!

DON'T YOU DARE ! Mitchell and Gracie caught in the start of a snowball fight,this can't be good.

OH NO, Gracie got the first shot!A good babysitter would have put their hats on, I really didn't think about it till I looked at the pics. But it wasn't windy or really cold, they just don't have a lot of hair!Building little snowmen.

It's a very good packing snow, to bad there isn't more of it. Mason the snowman squashier .No snowman could stand up to his hammer. Jacob was trying to save his, sadly no trace remains of our "little friends." Braydens trying to decide if he likes it,Brendans figured out" it's cold!!!" All the little ones liked it outside,but were ready to come in. Especially Brayden who was upset about getting his hand cold. once we got in side he was fine. Mason trying to warm his hands.

Hey I can't belive it !

I finally downloaded pictures with no problem,
This is grace playing her DS. She is taking care of her baby.Gracie made a basket at her basketball game, Good going Grace!!!

Just playing around with Mitchell, I almost got a smile, If I had known I was going to take a picture of myself I would have put on makeup!!

Brayden tackling Brendan,It reminds me of Mitchell and Mason wrestling like that.

ATTACK !!!!

That looks like a good sucker! was it blue !!

They got together and asked me to take their picture .They're getting so big!
