*Happy Birthday to you!!!*

It is Lovie's Birthday today and the kids and I just want to tell him just how much we love him and appreciate all that he does for our family!

Your the BEST Baby!

I hope you have a wonderful Birthday!!!

NOTHING!

Gosh it has been a week since I last posted...geez time sure does fly when your....ummm doing nothing! Really we have been doing nothing!

John and Linda had not seen the kids for awhile and since we have been so busy...doing nothing...we have not been over to see them, they came to see us!

We had a nice visit the kids always enjoy spending time with their grandparents!

Cash has found a new love for the game connect 4! But you must 1. be quick (he is not going to wait on you to take your turn before he goes again) and 2. it is ok if you win...he will keep going until he has won!

So like I said we have done nothing here lately...as you see Austin was a little stir crazy the other day...the coat he has on is Cash's! "Fat man in a little jacket" was the phrase that he and Johnny were using! Tommy Boy, gotta love that movie!!!

And my darling Princess...I am trying to talk her into getting her hair all cut off?! It is just so fine and string~y she never wants me to fix it and if you ask Austin you don't want her to fix it...LOL! Oh I remember the days when I fixed my own hair, I thought it was great! Only it was really NOT great! Well we will see...maybe I will let it go a little longer?!

And I actually got a picture of Cash w/o that crazy cute smile or that crazy mean look...

Gosh he is TOO cute!!!!!

Well maybe I will have some exciting news later this week...maybe we will get out of the house and do something...maybe it will turn spring really fast and I will be in a fantastic mood...or not! Maybe I will just stay in my beautiful house with my adorable little kids and my cute husband and be....BORED??????

game night....

Last night The Garrett's came over! We had cheese soup (not bad for the first time making it) Cheryl brought over some bread (very good) and we sat down to play some scattergories...game on! Cheryl was determined to beat Johnny this time...and she did!! You go girl! It was lots of fun!! Austin and Sam only made it about half way on their own and then decided that if they combined their score and put their brains together they would do better!

While we were playing the game we kept seeing the girls run by, in different clothes every time! And when we asked them to slow down this is what we saw....

They were trying to be evil (I don't think they needed the make-up for that!!) But they were trying to be evil to these adorable little faces.... Can you believe it?! The two that are always getting the bad rap were just as sweet as ever! and look at those faces...Oh My Goodness they are just too cute!!!! Anyways we had a great time and will be looking forward to the next game night!!! Today, Johnny went to work! I cleaned house! And the kids were lazy! They were so good today! For being out of school and home for the past 4 days they were great! We had dinner early and I even made.....drum roll please.... Blueberry bread! And I cut a piece right before I started this post and ummmm it was gone before the pictures uploaded...not all of it, just the piece I cut!!! So it was a success!!! Go me!! In other news it is still cold here it still continues to snow and I unfortunately think it may be hanging out for awhile...Oh well what are you gonna do....MOVE?! Probably not going to happen!

!!!!!C.O.L.D!!!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that yes, it is still bitter cold here!

Johnny and I went out on a "date" last night...actually a double date with his parents. We had a great time but who wouldn't have a great time when you are at the Rodney Carrington show! Wow he is a funny guy! And he can actually sing too!

So Thanks Mom and Dad we had a ton of fun!!!

On our way home I was watching the temperature drop and drop and drop some more!

Yes folks this is what the reader in my van said -26*F....Now that my friends is cold...bitter cold!

snow...

We are getting a lot of it! This week has been crazy with the snow and school! Yesterday Austin's bus was stuck in a ditch somewhere...Thank God he was not on it...Johnny was off to work so he took him. In the time he left I got 4 phone calls...Cheryl to tell us that school was cancelled...Mom to tell us that elementary ONLY was on a 2 hr delay...Angel to say that the roads were too bad she was keeping her kids home and the school...CONFUSION!!! I call J tell him to come back home and with in mins I call him back to say that is wrong go back....I think he was getting kinda mad. Anyways he took Austin off to school and we had decided to leave Allie home so I did not have to go out in the mess! Ends up ok because they cancel her school anyways...are you following me? Me neither!! Crazy I tell ya!! But that is not all no not all!!! Today, kids are off to school...yup every weather station in central Oh and surrounding areas are covering the snow storm we are going to get...BUT our little people are off. to. school!!! So at 1:00 I get a call to tell me they are sending the kids home early...ONLY middle and high school! At 1:02 I get a call to say not that early instead of 1 it will be 2:00...and @1:05 the call to say that elementary will stay in school until 3:30...are you with me...it's ok I am lost too!!! I am thinking the superintendent may want to take a break to gather his thoughts...I think his phone will blowing up and his inbox will be full!!!

Well all that aside.....

the kids are having a great time with all the snow we are getting!! Austin wanted to shovel the driveway...WANTED!!!! That is HUGE people my pre-teen wanted to do some work. Okay so it was just to build a bigger pile of snow to play in...hey we will take what we can get!!! Pooh Bear...lovin every bit of it!!!

and Cash was ever so happy to be out in this...and ever so ticked off when we made him come in!!!

I took this from my phone so it is not the best but this is St Rt 314 on my way to get the kiddos today...Seriously...could we get a snow plow out here?! And if not lets go ahead and keep these little people home...even if we do have to make up a day at the end of the year!!!

I will keep you all posted on how things go tomorrow!!! Wish me luck!!!!

Cole's Bday Party...

Hello from the Comfort Inn....This past weekend we went to the hotel that we do visit often (our get-a-way) This time we went for Cole's 9th Birthday! It is hard to believe that he is 9...that means my little Pooh Bear will be 9 before I know it!! Anyways, the kids had a great time playing in the pool, hanging out in the arcade (as you can see I had fun in the arcade too) and yes we jumped on the beds!! Doesn't everyone?! HA!! Austin is such a great big brother! I love that with all there was to do he still took some time to splash around with Cash!!

Allie was thrilled to be going and even better when we got there it just so happened that some of the girls from her school were there for a get-a-way too!

I could not think of a better way to spend a COLD SNOWY weekend!!!

Thanks for inviting us T & B! We had tons of fun!!

Updates....

I should first let you all know that Bible Man has been recovered! Thanks to Johnny! However I am sad to report that we have buried him! He will now RIP with Allied Waste.

Cash is still doing much better. He now just has an awful cold. But as you all know from the last post HE IS BACK!!

The kids had to go back to school today! Getting up was not as bad as I thought but as you can see from the pictures they were very tired!

Doing homework tonight was...not good to say the least! I think they will miss the OSU game tonight due to the fact that they will be in bed!

Today I officially started my diet...UGG! The food is not great but it makes me full, exercising is not a problem, BUT the fact that I have not had ANY pop is killing me! I am sure I will get used to it?! And on occasion I will have 1...but I think it is pointless to do all this work with the food and exercise if I am going to continue to drink 8...a day! We will see how long this lasts! It is helping that Johnny has been working out with me! Wish us luck!!! His goal is to lose 20 lbs mine is to lose 10-15 but if nothing else just to be more healthy!

Tonight as I said is the OSU game...I wish it was not on a Monday night! We have a place to have a party and everyone has to work...that stinks! Oh well....

GO BUCKS!!!!

Prince Charming...

has been sick for almost a week!

I must admit it has been nice not having to pick up after him and "no, no, no" him all the time BUT...this afternoon I sat down to pray that God would make my prince charming feel better. That he would take away all of his little aches and fever and snotty nose and cough even if he gave it to me. Just make my ornery rotten little man better...and guess what...ok your too smart. He is better! Not 100% better but better enough to do this...are you ready?? I decide that A and A need to be in bed by 8:30 tonight, they have been night owls for 2 wks and sleeping the day away so tonight I am getting them in bed and I walk down the hall "Cash Wilson where are you?" He comes bolting out of my room...

• me~ Cash, what were you doing in mommy's room?
• Cash~ my guy is swimming!!!
• me~ where is your guy swimming?
• Cash~ I flushed it!!!
• me~ you flushed your guy!!??
• Cash~ i say guy git back heere!!!
• me~ Cash, did your guy come back?! (praying that the little figure is just floating at the top of the toilet)
• Cash~ NOPE, him go bye bye mommy!!!

HE'S BACK!!!!!!!

And now Austin and Allie are peacefully sleeping while I blog, backyardigians are playing on the DVD and Johnny gets the dirty job of saving Bible Man from the septic tank!! Hang tough little Bible Man!!

Thank You God for making my Prince Charming the ornery rotten little boy he is....I swear I would not have it any other way!!!
