A surprise from my hubby :-)

2007-02-27T18:52:00.000-08:00

Today I was sitting watching t.v. with my children, when there was a knock at the door. There was a man standing there with some flowers. The card read: I love you sweetheart. I hope you have a great day! Love, Theo. He did this for nothing at all, no anniversary or anything just because. I was very surprised at the flowers, I never had flowers delivered to me before. It was so great. And it put me in a good mood for the rest of the day.

What a gal has to do to do the laundry!

2007-01-26T07:12:00.000-08:00

For the past couple of days our dry hasn't been working, the dryer door keeps opening when I turn on the dryer. I later found out that one of my children was standing on the dryer door and bent the hinges. Theological Universe suggested that I use some duck tape to keep the dryer door from opening, it worked for awhile, but after awhile the duck tape stopped working. Now while I wait for new hinges from Total Appliance (were Theological Universe works)I'm stuck using a chair to keep the door shut. But hey, it works and now I can get the mountain of laundry done.

Kodak moment

2007-01-14T13:03:00.000-08:00

I came into the kitchen this morning and this is what I saw, Monkey boy just sitting there. I thought this is to good to pass up. This is something out of a gap catalog, don't you think?

Attack of the camera snatchers!!

2006-12-15T06:43:00.000-08:00

Take a look at these pictures. The kids decided to take my camera down in the basement with out my knowing. Thankfully, they returned the camera unharmed. I didn't know they took it until I was going through my camera and said, "I don't remember taking any of these pictures."

I guess Blondie likes posing for the camera.

Let's take a picture of the of the food pantry.

Hey Monkey boy, I have the camera. Smile!

Doesn't the wall look totally fabulous?

Darn it! Sorry LL! Camera was out of focus.

Cool pants!?!

I like the color of this basement floor.

Hey, I can take a picture of a letter.

Hey, but I had the camera first!!

My sons are tree huggers --GASP!--

Chocolate or Dirt?

A child's imagination

2006-11-10T16:45:00.000-08:00

Look closely -- what do you see?

You would say "stairs DUH." Well to a 2 yr old(BigBoy) this stair way is a mountain to the great beyond.
BigBoy would grab onto the railing with both hands and skip a step while grunting. He did this before he took a nap earler today. I thought what in the world are you doing? OH, oh, your climbing a mountain. I thought what a great thing to put on my blog.

captions anyone?

2006-11-08T13:55:00.000-08:00

Guess what I got for my birthday?

2006-11-06T16:03:00.000-08:00

You guessed it a digital camera.(thanks mom&dad). It has alot of neat features. I can even record, and I can also plug it into the T.V. Way cool. Here are some of the pictures I took.

The girls posed for my first picture, aren't they cute?

Here I am with the scarf I got for my birthday from my husband made.
He did a wonderful job, thank you honey.

Here is my honey and I with the cake my mother in law
bought.

This is me and Waltrud - we also were celebrating her
birthday, which birthday is the day after mine.
Nov.5th 2006 was the hymn sing at Christ Luthren Church, here are some are the
singers.
Aren't Theological Thug and Die Schreiben von Schreiber cute?
Anxious Contentment looks at the music up front.

Here is Monkey boy and BigBoy hangin out.

Out With The Old And In With The New!

2006-10-16T08:05:00.001-07:00

There are a few new thing going on in our home, that I would love to share with you all.

BigBoy is now 2 years old, we got out his toddler bed and got rid of his crib. I decided if he can climb out of his crib he must be ready for a bed. He really loves it, he loves the idea he can get out of his bed and walk around when he is suppose to be in bed, he also likes the idea that he can get out of bed and sleep on the floor in front of the door(so mommy can't get in). But other than getting out of bed, he just loves the feedom.

The monkey is now 3 years old, he is now fully potty trained, as of 3 weeks ago. Even though he has a few accidents during the night(because mommy forgets to wake him up) he's on his way.

My little men are growing up in many ways.

I resently got my hair cut, as some of you saw on Sunday. I thought it was time for a change. My long locks of hair was getting on my nerves, it was always in my face and all I could do with it was put it up in a boring ponytail. So I thought bye bye long hair, we've had some good times, but it's time to bid you good bye. I picked the layered look because Die hard Equestrian inspired me, I thought I like that hair style so I thought I would go along with trend.

So out with the old and in with the new.

I'm back!!

2006-09-01T06:13:00.002-07:00

Well I'm back from my great vacation. The vacation was fun, but the train rides were a diffrent story.

I know now that train rides and 2 year olds don't mix. The first several hours were ok. Dean had a good time, but after the hour and a half delay near Kansas City in the middle of nowhere (because of a freight train), he'd had enough. He would not stop crying. Nothing I did would work. He did, however, make alot of friends of all ages. He also slept well on the train even though he gave me trouble about laying down. And after a 34 hour ride both Dean and I were excited to get off the train. We met my parents and Lily; it was great! We were all crying tears of joy,(except my dad he was just happy.)

Prescott, Arizona was GREAT. Warm during the day cool at night -- the ideal weather for me. We spent several hours outside on the porch talking and catching up, while Scrub Jays came right up on the porch to take some peanuts from a cup that my parents left for them. I went to work with my dad which was fun; he owns some of those claw machines you see in restaurants. He fills the claw machine with toys and checks to see how it is doing on money. At the end of his work day we met my Uncle Frank who is buffer than ever. He is 75 and lifts weights and has won many awards. We also went to a place called The Fun Station. It is like Chucky Cheese with a little more. The kids had a good time.

My mom and I decided to go to downtown Prescott with the kids were my Aunt Diane has her own shop called Tickled Pink. There were a few things I wanted to get my mother in law put had to settle on one. There were alot of shops and resturants but we went in only a few to look around. I also got to go to my mom's church which was diffrent from what I'm used to. After church we went out to breakfast with my dad. And to finish our vacation off the kids, my mom and I went to the YMCA to go swimming -- we had so much fun!

After all that fun we had to say good-bye, which was really sad. The train ride back was even worse then the ride there, I thought I was having a nervous break down! I was so tired and stressed that I could not stop crying. But things got better when I got some sleep. We finally met Theo in Elyria at 1:30 in the morning and were oh so thankful to be home!

Bye-bye so long

2006-08-23T04:49:00.000-07:00

So long,fair well. As of 8:00 today Little Dean and I are off to Arizona, to visit and to pick up Lily. We will be back on the 30th of August. Please pray that we have a safe trip there and back. See you all when we get back. :-)

Mini Monk Syndrome

2006-08-11T11:51:00.000-07:00

You all know the popular T.V. show Monk right, well my boys are showing signs of what I like to call "Mini Monk syndrome", when something is dirty or out of the place you can leave it to my boys to point things out.

I thought I would share something funny with you guys. I usually vacuum and mop the kitchen on Monday and Friday, well today is Friday and I was getting out the vacuum cleaner when "Mini Monk" (Theodore) informed me that I should vacuum under the refrigerator because it was dusty. "Mommy hurry up come here, hurry up, hurry up, look it's dirty under there, you have to vacuum under the refrigerator its dusty." So I did vacuum under the refrigerator and behind the stove to make Mini Monk happy. I said " If you want under the refrigerator clean then you help mommy." So he did with a smile on his face. I guess I don't have to worry about the house being dirty when he gets older. Dean is also showing early signs of "Mini Monk" syndrome. Dean will say " Uh oh" if he sees some garbage on the floor, or a pieces of clothing, and he also puts his own dirty clothes in the hamper. What do you think of that? Life can't get any better than this.

Great Motivation

2006-08-07T13:07:00.003-07:00

A few weeks ago I started working out, I get up at 6:30 in the morning just to make sure I'm awake enough to know what I'm doing. My work out starts at 7 or 7:30 depending on the work out I want to do. I work out with Denise Austin on channel 27, she is very good at what she does. Well a couple days ago I decided I wanted to work out at 7:00 so I can get done with it. Well I was in the middle of my work out when Theodore comes down stairs and sits on the chair and is watching me now. Denise is doing a work out move that I'm having a hard time doing, and Theodore see's I'm having a hard time and he says to me. "Come on mommy you can do it,I know you can." That little bit of motivation from Theodore went along way.

FED UP!!!

2006-07-13T14:15:00.002-07:00

I let my children watch Nickelodeon it has good cartoons on it, like Spongebob SquarePants, Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom etc.etc. And then the commercials start. They have this kids worship CD crap(you know feel good music -- oops I said the F word. Sorry Dad.) A bunch of kids no less singing crap. And guess what? I can't do anything about it. Well, except turn the mute button on, shut the T.V off or put my fingers in my ears and sing "lalalalala I can't hear you" at the top of my lungs. Its bad enough the adults listen to this crap, now their children are getting in on the action. I've had enough of this crap, how about you? I guess I've grown in my understanding because before I met Theological Thug I would have listened to this crap.

A Special Poem

2006-07-12T09:00:00.000-07:00

Today I would like to share a very special poem with you. This poem was recited to me before I went to bed and when I asked my mom to recite it. It also was recited at family get togethers when it was dark, we would turn out the lights and lit a candle and my grandmother would recite it. It is very special because my grandmother was an orphan and she liked this poem because it reminded her of herself. So I'm sharing this poem with you today in remembrance of my Grandmother Helen Daum.

The guy who wrote this was either Irish or Scottish not sure. And I was told this is how they wrote their words. So if your wondering or having a hard time reading sorry.

Enjoy.

1 Little Orphant Annie's come to our house to stay,
2 An' wash the cups an' saucers up, an' brush the crumbs away,
3 An' shoo the chickens off the porch, an' dust the hearth, an' sweep,
4 An' make the fire, an' bake the bread, an' earn her board-an'-keep;
5 An' all us other childern, when the supper-things is done,
6 We set around the kitchen fire an' has the mostest fun
7 A-list'nin' to the witch-tales 'at Annie tells about,
8 An' the Gobble-uns 'at gits you
9 Ef you

13 Wunst they wuz a little boy wouldn't say his prayers, --
14 An' when he went to bed at night, away up-stairs,
15 His Mammy heerd him holler, an' his Daddy heerd him bawl,
16 An' when they turn't the kivvers down, he wuzn't there at all!
17 An' they seeked him in the rafter-room, an' cubby-hole, an' press,
18 An' seeked him up the chimbly-flue, an' ever'-wheres, I guess;
19 But all they ever found wuz thist his pants an' roundabout: --
20 An' the Gobble-uns 'll git you
21 Ef you
22 Don't
23 Watch
24 Out!

25 An' one time a little girl 'ud allus laugh an' grin,
26 An' make fun of ever' one, an' all her blood-an'-kin;
27 An' wunst, when they was "company," an' ole folks wuz there,
28 She mocked 'em an' shocked 'em, an' said she didn't care!
29 An' thist as she kicked her heels, an' turn't to run an' hide,
30 They wuz two great big Black Things a-standin' by her side,
31 An' they snatched her through the ceilin' 'fore she knowed what she's about!
32 An' the Gobble-uns 'll git you
33 Ef you
34 Don't
35 Watch
36 Out!

37 An' little Orphant Annie says, when the blaze is blue,
38 An' the lamp-wick sputters, an' the wind goes woo-oo!
39 An' you hear the crickets quit, an' the moon is gray,
40 An' the lightnin'-bugs in dew is all squenched away, --
41 You better mind yer parunts, an' yer teachurs fond an' dear,
42 An' churish them 'at loves you, an' dry the orphant's tear,
43 An' he'p the pore an' needy ones 'at clusters all about,
44 Er the Gobble-uns 'll git you
45 Ef you
46 Don't
47 Watch
48 Out!

Rain,Rain Go away!

2006-07-10T08:33:00.000-07:00

Today it is pretty yucky outside, but that doesn't stop the boys. I went outside on the front porch to watch the rain and just like always Theodore and Dean had to come along. They didn't stay on the porch they decided to venture out into the rain, they had alot of fun splashing in the puddles. And that took me back to the time when my cousin Jenny and I would run in the rain and splash around. It is great fun.

My Wonderful Husband :-)

2006-07-01T17:57:00.001-07:00

Ok ok......I guess you guys got me into this blog thing. I think it fall under that catagory of everybody's doin' it.

So here it is:
Reminder: This is my first blog so go gentle with the comments.

As you all know we moved into a great neighborhood. The house is beautiful beyond my wildest dreams. Ok ok I'll stop rambling on and tell you the story of My Wonderful Husband. Ok were was I, oh yeah wildest dreams...... but one little problem, in the upstairs bathroom there was one switch for the light and the fan. What to do what to do. You all know that my husband is an electirian by trade, he took on look at that and said "I can fix that". So last night with his two supervisors(Marina and Theodore) watching every move, he put a switch, on for the fan and one for the light. Now he can sleep better at night. LOL Just kidding honey. You know I love you!!!
