Hooray for the video!!

Thanks for all your comments they make my day. Do you guys have your blog set up so that your comments are emailed to you also? that is how I make sure I get all the comments out there. I went through and posted some comments on old posts of yours so if it isn't linked to your email go back through and look them (Ashlee, Chris, and Sarah) Your posts are all so good I love the pictures.

I am so excited the video is playing, I was really running out of options of what to try next. I watch it over and over and love the way Lucas flops off the board it still makes me laugh, and then for Jacey to repeat what she has heard 1000 times, "Luk-y your o.k." and then they continue. They really are as tough as you make them, mine are anyways. Heres a current picture of Jacey on the guitar and an old video that we recorded back in February?, this really is unprompted, she likes to entertain us. And Lucas doing tricks with dad, now he jumps up and down trying to test his dad's strength and stability. They love it.

Lucas gets to go back to the Doctor for a consult on his NON-growth issues, HOORAY. I think he is growing, it's slow but growing. we'll see what they recommend. What do they expect from the poor boy? His parents are 5'8" and 5'3", chances are he's not going to be a giant, but if he could just be big enough to reach the pedals on a car that would be GREAT. we'll shoot for that. He is darn cute though.

(notice the plant behind her has slowly died.) I just noticed that.

Video not playing along.

ok, video is not responding. any suggestions? I have them on youtube but cant get them all together as my channel so we can see the couple that I have all at once. live and learn, I guess I will fiddle with it somemore another day.

Back to 30 weeks and a project done!!

Here are some before and afters of the curbing. The circle around the meter was a landscaping issue but now it is small enough that I'll put a couple bush there and call it good. They reduced it by half! no reason for it to have been that big.

This is the move in picture, the temporary brick wall, and the lawn moved back where I want it, plus a bonus of the garden box I made. I planted raspberries, strawberries, and have two tomato plants. I need another roll of sod for the end and need to take out the azaleas to plant my dahlias and gladiolas. Making progress.

Well I must sound like I complain a lot!! On the good side the Drs. visit was the quickest one in the world and baby is healthy. And according to the ultrasound that I had back at 18 weeks they ARE pushing my due date back to July 26th instead of the 15th. Remember how I was 18 weeks along for 5 weeks? Well now that I am supposed to be 32 weeks they want to push me back to 30. I have been 30 weeks already so I am not playing along. I vote that I AM 32 weeks AND I am going to deliver early!! Why do they want to push my delivery date til August??? they are going to make me cry. I took Lucas in today also for a height and weight check to see if he is still on the charts, he is just a wee bitty guy and we want to monitor his growth to make sure he is actually growing. I think he is it is just a matter of how much.
The kids are doing better as am I, thanks for your responses it is good just to hear feed back. I've decided quicker consequences for bad behavior, I am responding while I am still calm rather then talking so much and giving countless chances. They are going to their room more and faster while I am doing less yelling and less negotiating. Luckily Justin is the best help a girl could ask for. I am not kidding I am really lucky to have a man that participates in all areas of our home. He does chores in and out of the house, laundry, discipline, baths, bedtime, vaccuming, you name it. He is my biggest blessing.

Here is the video I promised in the last post, I hope it plays. I think it's funny you can hear me laughing.

The Effects of Naughty Children

This is the picture I was going to post with "why are my kids so naughty" but the camera was down, so I am posting it now so you know how NOT dramatic I was being. this was taken later in the day after Lucas bit Jacey on her back. Notice you can see every single tooth he has. you can still see it a week and a half later.
I am putting a new video of Jacey and Lucas playing outside being pretty inventive with what they have to play with. the video gets a little shaky in the middle because I am laughing, when I showed Justin we both laughed and watched it 4 or 5 times maybe because they're our kids we thought it was worth a giggle.

OF COURSE!!

So I got all duded up to get my picture taken for my drivers lisence because you have the darn thing for so long why should it have to be scary right? I have a friend who was gracious enough to take the kids so I wouldn't have to put them through the DOL fiasco and wouldn't you know it they were closed!! frustrated with the complete waste of gas I took the opportunity to go to home depot and buy some flowers and then to costco to buy some bulbs cause dag nab it I wasn't going to waste the trip to town. so here are the pretty pots Jacey and I planted this afternoon.

Prego!!

I finally called SONY support this morning to figure out what is the deal-yo on my camera and computer not communicating and we got it fixed but the support guy was sooooo slow. The pink sweater is 27 weeks. Here is a belly picture from May 4th (in stripes) that makes me 30 weeks I believe. Please disregard the casual unmatching evening attire, I did brush my hair because I new I would be posting this. I want to see the rest of you prego's now!! :)

I am in a hurry because I have to go get my WA drivers license since I have been here a year and a half.... sshhhhh....don't tell, I think my 30 days is up. I did just transfer my insurance from Idaho to washington which is why I HAVE to do it now and my license expires in June and if I don't get it before it expires I have to do the exam and to be perfectly honest I am not sure I could pass it at this point. Hahah Wish me luck!!

WHY...WHY...WHY... Are my children soooo Naughty?

I am not being funny, any ideas on what to do with blood curdling screaming, hitting, kicking, flailing, throwing, snatching, pinching, punching, pulling hair, and this morning biting!!!??? I am at my wits end, we were all in tears this morning after a biting, a severe spanking, and a melt down. AT&T, who I was on the phone with when all the biting happened is probably referring me to child services right now, it was all pretty embarrassing. I understand these are hard ages but are you kidding me??? Give me a break, this is ridiculous. Here is a post about a real issue nothing flowery happy or otherwise. Consider this my cry for help, before there are shaken babies at my house!! (I wouldn't shake them, but lets be serious this is getting a little bit scary over here!) For those of you close enough to have witness this scene over and over you can testify to the severity of their passionate tantrums. Thanks for allowing me to vent.

some good news.

So the rest of the good news is I just sold the fifthwheel hitch that has been sitting in our garage for the last year!! Also from craigslist. The blessings of paying your tithing I say! this is also good news for Justins garage space, and 400$ in my pocket. I think Justin is taking me on a date tonight so the good news just keeps coming. OH YEAH!!!

I logged into my blog today to write this snippet and the theme song to Macguyver came on and it made me smile...I just wanted to let you know I sold the tires to my mazda yesterday on craigslist, the mazda that i sold last fall, I got 100 bucks for the spare set of tires that I had for it. That made my day and Justins since they were "a waste of space" in his garage. HOORAY!!!
I went to the dentist this morning and my teeth are sparkly clean now. I made the kids go too and they were cooperative and everyone was impressed at how nice they opened their mouths for strangers. Jacey went to her own chair all by herself and had an exam and flouride (varnish) treatment, she picked a treat and went to the lobby to watch a movie while I was being worked on. Can you believe that? Lucas sat on my lap after they finished my teeth and he was equally good. He too got varnish- which they paint on their teeth to protect them from getting cavities. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!! I have seen the truth of that statement, which is why I don't mess around when it comes to our toofers. I was amazed they didn't scream and cry. What brave babies I have! All good news today!! i am wating on somemore good news i will know within the hour. so I will report on that when I know. thanks for your comments I lOVE getting them!!

Not much new to report we are finally getting some sun here and there, which means I have no excuse not to walk. I have been saying I will start walking when the weather gets nice and so I have begun. Now to keep it up, if I am able to get out today that will be 3 days in row, wahoo!! We have got some bids on some curbing for the front of our house and will be having that project done in the next couple weeks, which should make the front of our house look really clean and beautiful.
If I can get my camera to cooperate with my computer I will get some new pictures loaded up, otherwise you will have boring scripts with nothing to feast your eyes on. sorry!! I will see if I can get you a before and after when they finish. sorry we are boring. More Later!!
