So Far Behind

Ok...Ok! I have been neglecting my blog! My husband even noticed. With our problems with our computer and not being able to upload pics, it's been hard. A lot has gone on since my last post. Drake is rolling over and gets excited when he sees toys in front of him. He is an awesome baby. He goes to sleep around 9 or 9:30 and sleeps until 7.

Stella had a Thanksgiving feast and program at school. It was soooo cute. I do have pics but as I said before, I can't upload yet. Her class dressed up as indians. Her Pappaw Mick & her Mammaw were able to come and see her perform. She has been doing really well in gymnastics. She is fearless!

Riley has been playing basketball. Two weekends ago he scored 18 points in his game and blocked 3 shots!!!! This week he jammed his finger in practice and it was pretty swollen and bruised. I ended up taking him to the doctor because he kept complaining how bad it hurt. It ended up just jammed but the doctor told him to sit out this weekends game so it could heal. We signed up for another round of basketball starting in January! He is a sports nut. When that ends in March he will start soccer and baseball. AAAWWWW!

Jason's 32nd birthday was Thursday, November 20th ( the same day Spencer & Heidi eloped!). We took him out for seafood and the kids and I got him a GPS. He was in love. He even uses it just to go to Walmart. Crazy Man. Then Friday we went out to Bruno's for pizza with Tom, Jen, & Jacob Rickman & Luci & Jack Ross. The Rickman's were back for the IU/Purdue game. Their son, Jacob, was one of Riley's best friends in Kindergarten. They moved to Pittsburg the summer before 1st grade. It was great to see them and see the boys having fun together again. I will skip the football game highlights~ since there were none. IU needs a new coach! Saturday night we went out to eat at Pepe's with all Jason's friends for his birthday. Then all the big boys went out for drinks afterwards and me and the kiddies went home and watched a movie.

I started running a couple of days ago and my legs are killing me. I think the last time I worked out I was 18. I have been having babies ever since then. Hopefully I can finally get some of my body back.

Hopefully soon I can catch up on photos. Until then, PeACE Out...Girl scoUt!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to my sister, Courtney, and her husband, Matt. They have so much to celebrate! 3 years of wedded bliss and pregnant with twins on the way! Congrats to you both on 3 years & 2 babies. I can't wait to meet the babies. I love you both!

2 months!

Oh yes, my baby is 2 months old as of Monday. I just can't believe how time flies. He is 10 lbs. 14 oz. and 22 1/4 inches long. He is doing everything he should be right now and more...smiling, laughing, cooing, holding his head up, following objects, or us with his eyes. He has also found his hands and stares at them constantly, opening and shutting them and putting them together. It's amazing to watch him every day learning something new about the world around him. The kids just adore him and he loves them too. He gets so excited when Riley gets home from school and when Stella FINALLY wakes up in the morning and gives him hugs and kisses. She even made him feel better after he got his shots. Life just doesn't get better then this. Jason & I are so lucky to have such beautiful, healthy, smart, articulate, athletic, funny, amazing kids.

Sorry I haven't updated pictures. I have a lot to show, including Halloween & my niece & nephew, Tori & Will's birthday party. Hopefully they will be up soon.

A Sad Day. If you get offended easily, Don't read this!

Yesterday, I believe marked a very sad day in America. Our counry made a very bad decision. I'm more disappointed in the state of Indiana. I thought our state held their beliefs and morals to a much higher standard. Change is what you want, well that is exactly what you are going to get. Not the kind of change you were hoping for I'm afraid. As a devout christian, I believe I know the difference between right and wrong. I don't believe just because a bunch of liberal celebrities say something is ok, then it is.

I have made my own mistakes in life. I got pregnant at the age of 18. Had my first child at 19. I don't think because I did that, that it makes it ok. My husband and I both believe that we made some wrong choices, but we owned up to them. I made a choice and now because of that choice I was going to be a mom and Jason was going to be a dad. It was time to grow UP! We had to be adults. I wouldn't trade that baby for anything. He is a gift from God. Jason worked hard to take care of me and our beautiful son. We didn't rely on taxpayers to give us free diapers and formula. I still went to college and worked hard. My husband (boyfriend at the time) didn't make all that much at the time but we made it work.

This new generation of voters, oh boy do they irritate me. They just don't want to be accountable for any of their actions. They want the government to take it all away for them. These young girls and guys want to have sex with whomever they choose, sometimes without protection and then say oops let's go get a pill to make sure I don't have to grow up just yet. Sorry kids that isn't how it works. Well, I guess now it can be that way with this new, hip, cool president you've elected.

And, whatever happened to the sanctity of marriage. First we are supposed to be ok with people choosing to be with the same sex. Now we have to watch it on TV programs and I have to explain, at a much to early age, to my children what homosexuality is and why we believe it is wrong. Now they will all be free to marry whoever they please. There is your change for ya! Maybe I can marry my dog by 2012.

Also, If my husband and I work our butts off and start making over $250,000 or whatever the exact number is he claims will get tax hikes. I don't think it's ok to give it to a bunch of people who don't pay taxes. My bad! Is that wrong of me to want to keep our hard earned money? By the way the reality of all that is his plan will really raise taxes for people who make something like $45,000 or more. Woo hoo, let's just give all our money to people who do absolutely nothing and don't pay a dime to the government.

And as far as The War on Terror. God Bless our troops. I will pray every day for you. I can only pray for the safety of our troops and us here at home. There is nothing else we can do.

So, it was change you wanted...well you're gonna get it!

Happy Birthday Jillingus!

Happy Birthday to one of my two Jills. Ms. Keys is 27 today. I have known Jill for about 21 years now and we are closer now then ever. Love you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
