Weekend away...

Not much to be said besides this was far overdue! Beautiful beaches! & great time with great friends!

 Sorry all fuzzy, I did not carry around my good camera- all pictures came straight from the iphone! :P

Warning::::: graphic pictures

The day started off dreary, & rushed as josh rushed out the door to get to work. He was so anxious to see if he'd passed E-6 exam....((sadly, he just fell short! But that's ok....Next time!))

Only after drinking one cup of coffee and feeding the boys did he call to request I bring him his pt gear he'd forgot at home during the mad dash out the door. Anddddd of course the sky was about to cave in so I went ahead & packed the kids up & figured I may as well go now. No sooner I walk out the house, the sky fell & we all were drenched. 

After bringing josh his gear, we got home,poor jai was sleepy, so he went down to nap & I thought Julian and myself would watch skins toons. 

Yup that's when my tummy growled. I'm back on weight watchers so I knew I should meal prep while jai slept, to keep me from eating junk. Before I knew it I not only was meal prepping... But throwing dinner into the crockpot! Timing. Throwing dinner into the crock pot, just in time for my can opener to stop working mid can. Gr. I thought it was open enough to just bend the top back slightly so my goods could escape the can..., yet I was horribly wrong. I knew right away I did damage & called josh to come home. I was a hysterical mess... Sweating, still wet from rain, bloody, crying, nauseous from pain..mess.

The base hospital is amazing & got us in pretty quickly. My friend works above the ER & so sweetly came to see me & boys.  I got 10 stitches, a tetanus shot, & oral antibiotics. Pretty rough day... It was suppose to be as simple as waiting on fluff mail ( which I didn't get) && watching toons. :( but I must admit.... Lesson learned the hard, painful as he way.

Please excuse my hot mess self. Lol seriously looking ratchet. 

Happy Happy Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day Weekend...went something like this...

 

Saturday- Lots & Lots of yard work( after the rain subsided that is). No need for the ground to wait & dry, as we live on a sand bar, and the ground is dry 20 minutes after a torrential down pour. We raked leaves, bagged them up, moved logs, deweeded gardens, weedeated, and mowed. When I say we, I do mean 80% Josh 10% Me. Haha. I helped with the leaves, but other than that i supplied water, and food..and kept the kids entertained.

 

Sunday, we had every intention on making the 11 oclock service.. but since mommy slept in til 945.. that sorta knocked us off schedule. Once waking, Josh had breakfast served on the back patio, let me not forget to mention that absolutely amazing weather. We had breakfast & got our day back on track after Jai's first nap. Julian got his pool blown up, and filled, and we popped up the pack & play & played some games. Julian also decided on his own, that today was the day he was going to be a big boy and kick the training wheels to the curve. His exact words were, " Let's Do this Dad!"

here are a few pictures from our wonderfully well spent day!

 

Yes. This was a bad hair day for this momma, but who cares. Look at my big boy riding with out training wheels!! he would ride for a while, then stop pedaling, leaving him to sway until he tipped over! After a few times he learned to put his feet down to prevent a nasty fall.

better late, than never... right?

This was only suppose to be posted.. like, a 3 weeks ago... I'm sorry. Life got away from me again.

Mom, Melissa, Big & boys came to spend a beautiful Saturday with us! They also took home Julian's full size bed, since we got the boys Jake & Josh's old barn door bunk beds( that are being used as twins until they are old enough for bunks).

We had such a good day, I cooked a big pot of skettie, and we played games, drank a little, but most of all, spent quality time together. It was one by far one of our best ' family' days, yet to date.

Playing games...

                                                         My mom & her girls...(minus Mindy)

                                                                     My  momma

                                   Alex sure did get the hang of the game, he started whipping some butt

We also broke out the sprinkler, and let alex & ju go at it in the water.. the day warmed up nicely.

                                 I have not a clue. Perhaps being a perv.... (blue balls?)

                                                          Mawmaw lovingon sleepy Jai'

Like I said, one of the best days we've spent as a family. I know that sounds insane, but we have a very large, loud family. Drama always seems to find it's way to our get togethers. So glad to say that was not the case on this beautiful, family filled Saturday!
