Long time no see!
It seems like i haven't blogged in a life time. I have been meaning to blog but things have just been so hectic with work and kids and home life. I am afraid i am addicted to facebook thats for sure. I forget everyday to read all my blogs i follow, it just seems like i never have the time lately.
i also have been doing some redecorating around the house too, i will definitly have to post pictures when i am done, right now i am working on my bedroom.
Bryers first day of kindergarden was thursday. The picture above is him in the car, we were running late so i took a quick snap of him in the car.
Well gotta run hope you all have a great weekend!

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!
These were the zoo animals i took with me. We got there about 9:30 and stayed till about 3. It was a very long day with lots of walking.
We went and saw the elefphant demonstration. The other one that was there could make different noises on command. The one shown in the pic is Gunda, she is 59 human years old. They say she is in very good shape for being as old as she is.

Job update and request!
It feels like i have not blogged in awhile but i have been readin up on everyone elses.
I have started my new job on the ambulance and have got to go on several calls. Last week i worked 60 hours and can you believe that i only did that in 4 days. Thats not that bad at all especially if it is something you love to do. We have had some slow times, so i get to catch up on blogs, facebook, and myspace and all my twilight sites i read. It seems like i have been goin and going constantly since i started back working. i love bein a working mom again. It really makes me feel good, i don't feel like i am stuck in the house all the time. The cool thing is hubby and the kids can come to work with me anytime and hang out they can even stay the night with me when i am workin night shift. It was scary my first call bein by myself in the back but it was like it all came back to me. Although i don't like all the paper work i have just like workin in the doctors office.
Well i have decided to start doing a little revampin to my house, especially my bedroom. i have went through the last couple of days and cleaned out all the clutter and furniture that was unnessary in there. Changed the bedding to brown and tan zebra print which looks great and got new curtains. I am trying to put some romance back in there. making it like our own little retreat where only we are allowed to be in there. and so far it feels all the same. sometimes i feel that there is just somethin missing, i don't know how to explain it though but i am sure it will get better.
My friend Jana had her baby on saturday. Last summer she had a little girl at 20 some weeks and lost her. She is 41 years old and has been trying forever to have a baby and has had no luck. She has a beautiful baby boy name Jackson. I am so happy for her cause she deserved it. So please pray her and her family that everything goes well for them.
My second request is about my father in law. Remember back in Febuary i told you he had a heart attack and all that, well now he has just taken a turn for the worse. He can't be left by himself and needs 24 hour care. He only 15% of his heart left and has to be on oxygen all the time. Well it looks like we will be putting him in a nursing home within a few days maybe if his social security will pay for it. It cost like $134 A DAY yes thats right i said a day! I know it will all work out. We thought about moving him into the house but with 2 kids i just don't think we will be able to handle it. I have faith that it will all work out.
Can you believe that it will be the fourth of july already. This year i am not playing softball, we have been playing church league softball all summer everyweek so we decided not to play this year. Plus last thursday at one our games i was running to second base and some reason fell on my left knee. I should have went to the doctor but didn't. I blacked out so all i remember is falling and then next thing i know it is hubby was picking me up and i was in tears. It hurts to bend my knee and i can't lean on that knee at all and it is bruised and swollen still alittle. It really hurts trying to get in and out of the ambulance. I hope everyone has a great 4th. Hopefully this weekend i will get a battery for my camera so i can take pics this saturday.
Have a great Holiday Everyone!

They are out!!!!
Yeah they are out but guess what? THEY STOLE ALL MY MONEY!!!!!!! YES I SAID STOLE ALL MY MONEY. i am so sooo soo mad right now, especially at myself for letting them do this to me. i should have listened to everyone when they said to make them leave. but i am such a nice person i tried helping. i will be damn if i ever do it again(excuse my language dana lol!) but what the heck, i keep asking myself why why did they do that. i have cried, thought of doing mean things to them but that is the old me. and as my son says "you don't trust in god if you do mean things". and that is right, it WILL come back to them and they WILL pay for it, not from me but from the big man upstairs. They stole money from me last week and stole from bryer and stole from my daughter. i am done, and i know it sounds mean very mean, but as long as i live i don't think i can ever talk to them and forgive them. you should always forgive and forget but some times it is just to dang hard. I know everything will work out till next payday, it always does. and what happens to you just makes you stronger of a person and you learn from your mistakes. I will just keep praying like i have done all day, i know i have yelled at god and i shouldn't but i guess sometimes i just think why why did it happen to me, i am a good person. and it is not gods fault, he doesn't make them do that. So i did ask for forgiveness. But i have calmed down now and going to start cleaning for our family cookout tommarrow.
thanks for listening yall

Show Us Where You Live Fridays-Living Room Edition
have you ever checked out Kelly,
well she is having a home tour, so i thought i would join in. make sure you go check out her blog

this is looking in from my hall way, i have a ugly looking tv stang and then a shelf next to it, we bought our tv last year when we bought our house and just never have had the money to get a stand.
Our furniture is the kind that you can spill stuff on it and it cleans up great, keeps the stains away. as you can tell i don't have that much decor. i like to go to yard sales and find stuff instead of having to spend tons of money at department stores. my rug i got from kmart, it was my mothers day present to myself!

i love this little cabnit, its great to hold blankets and games that kennedy can play with, i love the old antique look.

this is looking in from my dining room, on each side of the big window i have a collage frame for each of the kids, when i repainted the living room and hall way i said i wasn't going to put curtains up just the blinds, but i think i am going to get some fabric and make some light colored tan maybe floral type of curtains, something that will make the window stand out.
y

i absolutly love this food placemat for dogs, i bought it at petsmart

my new sweet edition to our family, our maltese name Maddie, she was rescued from a puppy mill that was horrible to her, when the family i got her from brought her home she could barely walk.

i bought this thing at kmart and took all the pictures that is in it, i still need to add a bunch

my little wall mural of my man

this is our hallway, i have all of kennedys toys in it because having an extra dresser in her bedroom along with a toddler bed plus a full size bed, there is barely any room. her room was crammed full of toys and i got them down to just a few bins

Love this lamp? I bought it at a yard sale for $2!!!

this is our messy area, sorry for the bright jacket, i took these pictures this morning after i went on a call.

my hubbys hole, he absolutly loves this chair, it is like the size of a love seat, as you can see my little shelf to the left is bare, i really just don't know what to put on it

if you don't have a potato box, you odd to get one they are so great, i bought my at a yard sale for just $5. can you tell i love to garage sale
Since i forgot about the home tour last week i thought i would throw in a few pictures of my kitchen.

2 of my fave little ones, i have this sweet picture hanging on my fridge

my china cabnit that was my grandparents with all my different collectiables

looking into the dining room from the kitchen

this is one view of my kitchen, it is very small

i love the color, this is one of the only rooms we did not repaint, on top of my cabnits it have baskets with fake vine, it looks so pretty
if you guys have any ideas for me please let me know, i know the paint is really dark, but we had painted it a tan color and it got so dirty it looked horrible, i love this deep brown, it really makes it feel warm i just need to put alittle color in it

Just had to share something special
I was actually going to post this last night but never was able to get around to it.
Last night we had the easter egg hunt at church and bryer was more than happy to go to the age group above his class on accident, but he didn't want to leave.
Well last night we talked about when Jesus washed his disciples feet. How he served them. The preacher talked about how now it only takes a person with something very special in there heart. Most people think that is dirty, ugly to go and wash peoples feet in honor.
Sitting there i thought back to Falls Creek about 15 years ago when Brother John White was still alive. You may all have heard of him because his Wife and the youngest of 5 of his 10 kids were on Extreme makeover home edition in Dewey Oklahoma. He died in 2005 from a massive heart attack at the First Baptist Church Family Workout Center. He was a amazing man, i could listen to him talk all day.
Well back around 15 years ago or so we were at Falls Creek and they were talking about the same thing as The Preacher was talking about last night. Brother John washed everyones feet. He did not think it was ugly or dirty. He did it just as a servant for his lord. It didn't matter that some of the kids feet smelled horrible, he did it just as Jesus did. Isn't that amazing.
"Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded himself." JOHN 13:3
"After that, He poured water into a basin and began to was the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded." JOHN 13:5
Simon Peter wondered why Jesus would wash his feet. And he asked him
"Lord why are you washing my feet?" john 13:6
"Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this." john 13:7
Jesus did this so that we would be apart of him. He knew after this last supper he was going to be with his father.
Bryer dale is so stinkin smart. On the way home last night this was our conversation.
Bryer: "mom you know why Jesus died?"
Me:"Yeah, why do you think he died?"
Bryer:"He died for you, me and everyone in the whole wide world. Because of our sins"
Me: "do you know what sins are?"
Bryer:" Yeah they are some bad stuff, Jesus and God are really powerful and control everything in the world. He even controls lighting, "
Me:"You know he heals sick people just like he healed your papa and Cousin Reni"
Bryer:" How did he heal them, i never saw them heal them"
Me:"Well you really can't see him heal them"
Bryer:" No we can see him, he is everywhere, the clouds the sky and even the clouds when they are all broken up"
It is so amazing how kids just listen and know all these things. I am still learning and trying to understand all of it.

WHAT A HOUSE FULL!
Yes we have a house full. And i have quickly realized my house is small, small kitchen, small dining room, small everything. Trying to make extra room for everything that i possibly can. My sister, daughter and her boyfriend have come to live with us and get on there feet. So having 7 people in my little 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath house. So i have been soo soo soo tired everyday to blog or do anything. I have not got most of my spring cleaning done.
Well little miss kennedy will be starting cheer and tumbling hopefully by the end of the month. We are just waiting to hear when the class will start. They have to wait till they get enough to do a class. So i am so excited, then yesterday i went to a garage sale and found about 5 leotards just her size. She is going to be ready for it all.
We have also started the whole potty training thing, and it is going somewhat okay.
Bryer has also started baseball again and michael is coaching. We moved him up to 8 and under coach pitch baseball.
This is my little niece and kennedy
Here are just a few pic i took of her
Also check out the items i have put in my shop. hopefully i will be adding all these items that i have made soon
