A warning about head bands and a trip to the dentist!

I think that this is a new record! Two post in only two days! WOW! SO Luke had quite the couple of days. So yesterday morning I was getting the kids read for church by myself because Dave was at a meeting, so things were a little hectic already. So we were doing Jenna's hair and Luke was playing in the bathroom with Jenna's plastic hairband. He was being awfully cute and funny too. Too bad that moment didn't last. All of the sudden I hear him screaming like he had lost an eye! He is covering his face and just screaming bloody murder. He Had snapped the head band in half and it smacked him in the face and scratched his eye! It was so sad! IT took quite a while to get him calmed down. I put a cold wet wash cloth on his eye and he thought that felt good. So Dave stayed home with him from church so that he could rest because he was in so much pain. Fortunately we didn't have to take him to the doctor and today he is doing much better and you can only see a small scratch in the white part of his eye. He was very lucky, eye injuries can be very scary! So be careful with those head bands!

Luke also had his first dentist appointment today. He was so excited and couldn't wait until his turn. He must take after Dave because to say that I am not a fan of the dentist is saying it very nicely! ( right Mom?) Anyway, he did so well and let them clean and polish his teeth and let the dentist look at them too. He loved the chair that went up and down too, I think that is is favorite part. He was so excited by his new toothbrush that he has already brushed his teeth twice since we have been home! Hopefully he will always be excited about the dentist! I was very proud of him!

pictures, wicked and ahhh life!

A few weeks ago Jon took the kids pictures. We had a lot of fun! i tried to take one of all three kids together, however Kira would have nothing to do with it! She was so done! She screamed in all of them. So after a few of them I took Kira and we took pictures of just Jenna and Luke. They turned out so cute! It really captures their relationship, that they are such good friend and have so much fun together! I love it when they are the best of friends. Luke is really going to miss Jenna when she goes to first grade.

So I told the kids that they could have their favorite toy in their pictures. Jenna wanted to have her Build-a-Bear, Susan Dorthy, in her picture. She had a blast, very photogenic!

Luke Chose his Geo-tracks train Aero. He was being very silly in most of his pictures. But he also had fun and did well.

Kira was a little more difficult, because she can't sit up all by herself yet. So I layed on the ground and was covered in a curtain and Kira sat on me. This helped quite a bit but then she had the problem of looking down at me. But we still got some way cute pictures!

So here is the latest in our family: My dad had his kidney transplant about three weeks ago. Cleadus gave him his kidney, (he is totally my hero!). My dad had quite a few complications but I think is finally on the mend. Cleadus is doing fantastic! So that has been a little stressful .

Our house has been on the market for about 60 days now, not long for todays market. That is totally crazy trying to keep the house clean and smelling fresh with three kids! I break down and cray about once a week and then I regroup and start over feeling better, I guess crying is one way that I relieve my stress ( sorry Dave!). BUt I am trying to be patent and believe that whatever is suppossed to happen will. We don't know where we are moving yet. We just want a bigger house and not some many dang flower beds to weed! I curse that day we put in all that curbing! We are not yardwork people! I can handle a little bit, and even enjoy a flower bed here and there but man!, we have too many! So in my dream house I will have one little flower bed and a small garden AHHHH that would be nice.

So life is busy and stressful and good, just like everyone else I am sure! Jenna has been off track so I am trying to think of fun things to do, however I just like it because she keeps Luke so entertained! She also is such a great helper for Kira too!

Oh, one more thing..I went to WICKED last night! I was smiling the whole time! Anyone who knows me, knows that I have been longing to see that for years! It was the perfect evening! It was just amazing! A much deserved night out for Dave and me. So thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for watching the kiddos.

Well, I think that I have used up my alotted time for blogging. Until next time....
