Cheyenne turns 10!!!!!!!!!!!

Today Cheyenne had some of her friends over to celebrate her b-day. They played a couple of games, decorated cookies, watched a little HSM3, and enjoyed being girls. Cheyenne has some great friends and I'm grateful for them all.

I love my baby girl!

Staple Removal

Joe took out Doug's staples on Thursday night. It was a quick 1 min. ordeal, but Doug was freaked out and probably thought he was going to die. I saw it as a great picture moment! Thank goodness Joe did the neuro rounds at St. John's or we would have to go to the office for the staple removal! :P HaHa!

Ken

Kenny is such a sweet boy. He knows exactly when I need a big hug or kiss on the cheek. He is so helpful and does his part to help around the house. He is extremely smart and always does his best in school. I'm so grateful he was sent to me.

One Tough Weekend

It all started 2 Saturdays ago. Joe was at a screening and we were getting ready to for a play date with our friends. We were only going to be home for 20 min to eat lunch. The girl's were inside helping me cook and the boys were outside playing with some other boys in the neighborhood. Not 2 min outside and Douglas comes in screaming bloody murder, I was at that moment frustrated. Then Kenneth comes in another door not talking but very scared looking. I asked a couple of times what happened but no one would say anything, I then lost my temper and the screaming started. Kenneth finally got it out that he accidentally hit Doug in the head with a hockey stick, so I looked at his head and blood was everywhere. I got a towel and wiped it off and it was wide open. Kenneth got in more trouble then he needed to and I could have handled the whole situation better and I apologized for totally loosing my cool. We finished lunch and dropped everyone off at the play date, except for Doug, and then I was off to the E.R. 3 hours, 2 staples, a Tetanus shot, and a sonic sunday later we were home from our adventure. The next day, Sunday, we went to our friends house, Jen and Jared, for dinner and rock band. The kids were all playing in the play room and we were rocking out, then I heard that all to familiar scream from one of my kids. This time it was Abby. I looked away from my awesome bass playing and saw a big swollen eyelid on my Abbalicious. Doug had jumped right into her face with his head. HOLY CRAP!!!! Just a little harder and we would of made another trip to the E.R. to sow up her eyelid. The next morning Abby came to my room and woke me up. Her eye looked horrible and she couldn't open it. She said she wanted to go to the store to get a pirate patch so no one would see her eye. I laughed inside and felt super bad for her. So for a whole week she had some interesting color changes on her eyelid.

Destruction

Sam has a destructive side to him. The other day he wanted Joe to get all of our buckets down so he could play with them. So Joe did and Sam arranged them on the floor and then started kicking practice. It was really funny to watch him set it all up and then destroy. He also liked the bucket as a hat. :)
