He's Finally Here

Cheyenne had Stratton on May 26th at 5:24am. He was 7lbs 8oz and 19" long and soooo cute. It was a long road for her. She went in at 11:30pm. She did so good. She took the pain much better than any of us thought she would. She eneded up having to have an emergancy c-section but both Mom, Dad and baby are doing great. Can't wait to watch him grow up.

Week 9

Finally some good weather. Bring on the summer.

Monday, May 10th - After having the day pass me by without taking a picture I looked on my nightstand and saw the box that Kenzie made me in wood shop this year. Well she actually told me that she made it for her but she surprised me on my birthday this year and gave it to me.



Tuesday, May 11th - Finally some flip flop weather. I really need some new ones but I got these a couple of years ago with the girls at work and and I absolutely love them. They are my favorite.



Wednesday, May 12th - I have been wanting to see this movie but I really wanted to read the book first. So I broke down and bought it. I have a couple more pages in the book I am reading now and then I can start!



Thursday, May 13th - I got a call from the school today and Kenzie had stepped on a nail while they were planting out by the creek. My first question to her was why were you wearing flip flops? But they were cool I guess. Anyway just a small nail but it was a bit rusty so I had to make sure she didn't need a shot. She didn't, but I still think a shot would have made her think twice about wearing the right shoes to plant. Silly girl.



Friday, May 14th - We went to the cooler for a surprise birthday party for one of my friends. It was a lot lot of fun. My Sister Brandy came by to visit for a bit. JJ looks like a bit of a creep in this picture but it was funny so I had to post.



Saturday, May 15th - Had a golf tournament today. Golfed ok as a group. I had a few good shots but for the most part we just had a good time. The weather was wonderful. I even got a little burnt. Anyway after the tournament JJ's Aunt Carol Ann brought Kenzie and I some golf balls. I wonder if I have enough to play a round at meadow lakes?



Sunday, May 16th - We got a ton of work done around the house this weekend. I got my housework all caught up and then helped JJ put together the garden shed we bought. Just have to finish it up tomorrow.

Mother's Day

So this year I really did not want anything for Mother's Day. I just wanted to be with JJ and the kids. Saturday was dinner at my Sister's house. JJ ended up getting back to town early from bear hunting and met us there. I didn't think he was going to make it so that was a nice surprise. Sunday we got up and JJ said he would take us to breakfast. By the time we actually found a place to eat with less than an hour line it was lunch time so we settled for Izzy's. No line there. Hehe. Then we went to see a movie. Now being the great Mom that I am, I could have picked Iron Man 2 but instead I chose the Back-Up Plan. JJ, Kenzie and I thought it was hilarious. I think however I might have needed to research the movie just a little more before taking my 8 year old boy to see it. Let's just say that he got a lesson in sex and babies. Oh goodness. I had to cover is eyes and ears at one point. Oh well, I guess he had to learn sometime hu. Lucky for me he's only 8 and probably didn't take in half as much as I thought he did. Good thing. All in all it was a wonderful Mother's Day and I have the greatest kids a Mom could ever ask for.

Week 8

This week was a busy one. JJ went out of town from Wednesday to Saturday and I thought that I was going to get some things done and relax but....that did not happen. I got home late every night and didn't manage to get anything done. Better luck next week.




Monday, May 3rd - I find that after 8:00pm on Monday night I am absolutely worthless. I love DWTS. I know, pathetic but what can I say, it's me.







Tuesday, May 4th - After thinking that I needed to quit eating so bad, look what I picked up at Target for the times that I wanted a sweet but knew I should not have one. They can't be that bad for you right? I wonder if it is still ok if you have 10 of them to cure they sweet craving?







Wednesday, May 5th - I am obsessed. I can't help it. I need to log on a couple times and day and see what everyone is up to and play games. I need help.







Thursday, May 6th - The kids both made their beds and cleaned their rooms. They usually do pretty good but I thought it was worth documenting. After all it may be a while before anyone sees this again.













Friday, May 7th - The cats were enjoying the sun. They are so good, plus they are the only cats that have stuck around.



Saturday, May 8th - Kenzie and I got our hair done. I just dyed the gray out of mine but Kenzie really cut hers. I love it although it does make her look about 15.



Sunday, May 9th - This is a picture of the tree the kids and JJ got me last year for Mother's Day. It is so pretty when it is in bloom.

Week 7

Monday, April 26th - I got this card from Stacy a while ago. It's hanging in my cubicle and I look at it from time to time and crack up. It resembles Stacy, Pam and myself. Pam is on the left, I am in the middle and Stacy is to the right.



Tuesday, April 27th - Listening to Kidd Kraddick in the morning before work. Do you think I can make it into the building before 8? Hmmm



Wednesday, April 28th - I should rethink this screen saver.



Thursday, April 29th - Apparently this is what I look like while working. Nothing else to really say about that.



Friday, April 30th - Family movie night.



Saturday, May 1st - I am not sure but do you think this one will come back from winter?



Sunday, May 2nd - What can I say, we didn't want to cook.


Week 6

OK so as my dear friend Stacy pointed out, it is not Monday. I did however catch up. So here goes another week.

Monday, April 19th - Kenzie painted her nails. Nice color hu?



Tuesday, April 20th - My new necklace. I got this at the rock shop for $6 bucks. I love it. Just between you and I, I brought two other ones too. Hehe



Wednesday, April 21st - When I got to my office I had these on my desk from my boss for Administrative Day. A nice surprise for sure.



Thursday, April 22nd - It was freezing in my cubicle so I had to break out my blanket. Of course it was the only day this week that I chose to wear a short sleeve shirt because I thought it might be warm. Note to self, actually look at the news to see what the weather will be. I think it might have snowed a little today.



Friday, April 23rd - Pay day. Translation, give everyone else your money. So sad.



Saturday, April 24th - Helped my sister paint Stratton's room. Can't wait for that little one to get here. Not long now.



Sunday, April 25th - My new favorite song, Miranda Lambert, The House that Built Me. Love it, no fear, next week I will probably have a new favorite.
