Sorry about that but it's been a busy few weeks. As in my previous blog Billy was gone until the 18th, then was on vacation last week. Last week we did a lot of short trips here and there, nothing super fancy or anything. I took Miranda to the Childrens museum in Richmond Tuesday, billy took the girls to walle wed, thurs we went to visit my mom, friday we attempted to clean some and i went grocery shopping, sat we went swimming at my sisters and got home super late and sunday (yesterday) an old friend Leah and her mom came down to visit and we had a great day! So it's back to work for billy today fun fun, okay not so much.
The girls did so great swimming, lore had water wings on and was attempting to swim paddling and kicking it was great! and Miranda was jumping off the side of the pool and going under water. Tripp played in his floatie for hours in the water...and then ate and slept for a couple hours....it was a great swimming trip. Lore told her uncle horst "your boob hair is CRAZY!" to which we all got a huge laugh as he didn't understand her so she said it slower and louder while pointing "the hair on your boobies is crazy!" haahhahaha kids are soooo funny!
okay so that's all for now! I'll blog again soon i'm sure!!!

Hanging out just the kids and me
That's what we are doing. Billy's in Dallas, and the first few days have went really well. Yesterday was my birthday, I turned 32 and for some reason 32 seems older to me than when I was turning 31. I know it sounds wierd but turning 31 was okay but 32 I'm thinking good lord I'm getting old and that sucks! Well my birthday was pretty good. I got lots of birthday wishes, Billy sent me some flowers, my dad got me a cake so the girls were thrilled, they don't believe it's a birthday unless there's cake.
Tripps 6 mth appointment went well. He's a big boy. 21lbs 6ozs and 27.5 inches tall. He got his shots and all checked out and he's doing great. Miranda went with me as Lore got to stay at her papaws and play with her cousins and her aunt and uncle. Granted her cousins are 15-17 but they all had such a great time. When we went back to pick her up we stayed for a while and Miranda got to join in on the fun. I'm so happy with how much Miranda has stepped out of her shell. She is still really shy but she doesn't cry anymore when someone tries to pick her up.
So there's a little update, things are going well so far with it just being the kids and me. I hope it continues to go so well. I'll try to chat more with ya'll later. and thanks for all the birthday wishes!!! take care!

Happy 4th of July!
Hey there everyone! It's the 4th of july and i hope everyone is enjoying a great day with their families! I'm sitting here watching clean house as Tripp plays on the floor, what are my plans for the day you might ask? nothing but cleaning my house probably because Billy is working on a job that he couldn't turn down due to the bonus and double time paid. Does it irritate me? Yes! However we aren't rich so we can't turn down the opportunity to make the money. Oh well. So what else is going on? not much Billy leaves monday for 2 weeks, that sucks. My house is a mess and I can't catch up. The girls are doing pretty good, tripp right now isn't very happy. He's a little grouchy. Well I hope everyone has a great day! take care!

It's been awhile....
since I've been able to blog. So here I am trying to get one in really quick. So what's been going on with me you ask? Well, I've been being an ass because I'm pissed Billy's got to go to training for two weeks (over my birthday). We tried to find a cheap flight so he could come home over the weekend but no finding a cheap fare for us! This is one of the times I wished we still lived in Wichita, as we (the kids and I) could just drive down there for the weekend. I don't know why I get so mad or upset about something he has to do. I guess i'm just a butt? who knows?
What's been going on with the kids, well tripp now has two teeth, sits up and plays without falling over, scoots all around the place, and interacts/plays more with you (kinda like a mocking game, he sighs you sigh, he sighs etc...it could go on forever). He goes in on the 3rd for his 6 mth appt. Wth 6 mths where did the freaking time go? man it goes by way too fast!!!! before I know it he'll be walking, then running then off to college for him. lol.
Miranda hmmmmm she hasn't really been doing much but being her typical diva self. She is more rotten than I could have ever imagined. She is in that no stage, she'll say no to just about everything (however she ends up doing whatever you ask even though she says no). She went to the ortho and she is good, apparently she's gonna be an olympic runner. Ha he hasn't see her run, if anyone has watched the friends episode where phoebe is running, that's my child except she falls down a lot. No seriously the appointment went well. She has really loose joints which causes a turn in at her feet, but he says if you look at most olympic sprinters they have a slight turn in like hers. He bones are straight and everything else looks good. The loose joints give her what's called a nurse maids elbow, which is where it kinda get's wrenched really easy (just about pops out) and it hurts her really bad to the point she won't use it. what's the remedy for that, don't hold that hand when she's walking cause when she falls and you try to catch her, she almost always messes that elbow up. So that was a pretty good appt.
Loralie she is so much like me it's pretty sad and I wish she wasn't. She get's so flustrated if she's trying to (lets say) put a puzzle together for the first time and can't get it as fast as she'd like. I mean to the point of crying mad/flustrated. I hate that she gets that from me. I hate that I'm like that, I just like to be able to do shit right and not have it take long the first time. So she's smart as can be and I'm excited for her to start preschool but also sad about it. I'm gonna miss her, she's usually such a helper around here with Tripp, and she's Miranda's playmate. I wonder how miranda is gonna take her being gone. She's excited she get's to change her earrings soon. I wonder how excited she will be when the time comes lol.
So for me, nothing going on here, me just being pissed I'm gonna be parenting by myself for the next two weeks. The girls will most likely drive me crazy as they like to fight nonstop, well most of the time. Tripp is pretty happy usually unless he is one of his moods that he wants everyones undivided attention. Oh well such is life...I guess I'll blog again when i have time. I'm sure I'll make some time, especially because I know I'll have to have a place to vent out my daily crap over the next two weeks. Anyone have a big ass margarita machine, maybe I'll turn to drinking for a couple weeks...lol

Well it's Saturday
It's Saturday, I'm exhausted, what's new. Well I'll catch you up on my week since tuesday. Tuesday, i was having a pretty bad day, I was just burnt out on everything. Well my dad stopped by, it was awesome all the kids were napping (I had just gotten tripp down) and he had brought a bbq for us and one for billy incase he was in route home. Well it was so nice to just be able to sit there and talk to dad without the kids being loud and jumping around. We had a great conversation, I think it was the first time we've been able to chat by ourselves in years. So that made my day much better. Wednesday came with bad news of one of my uncles on my moms side dying. Thursday was my dad's birthday so we met him for dinner with his brother and sisters (my aunts and uncles). The girls were absoutely wonderful! They met a lot more family most that they had never seen. Tripp was wonderful as well, he got passed around the table and all of the aunts ohhhhhed and awwwwwwed over him. Lore and Ran sang Happy Birthday to dad several times and I mean several times. The girls really listened well and ate really good, I was so proud. on the way home Lore stated "that was unbelievable" "that dinner time was unbelievable". I thought that was so great that she had such a great time and thought it was unbelievable and expressed it to us in such a cute way.
So after dinner Dad and josephine came over for cake and coffee, a cake that I made (chocolate cake, white chocolate buttercream between the layers, ganache over the top and sides) and let the girls decorate. Oh my lord my cake was beautiful on it's own but I figured why not let the girls make his cake super special and boy did they. It looked like a sprinkle factory exploded on it. Dad loved it of course and the girls sang happy birthday to him once again as he blew out his candles. Tripp got more attention as usual (I swear he's gonna be a spoiled rotten boy).
Friday nothing big happened same ole stuff, except I found out that my step dad is in the hospital due to some issues wth potassium. He was paralyzed from the waist down for almost a day. Very scary stuff. but seems to be doing better.
Today, I've been in just a horrible mood. I'm tired, grumpy and irritated. I was that way all day, however I invited dad and josephine over for dinner, which was nice and so they could help us eat some more of the birthday cake of dads. So the kids played while we finished cooking dinner, we ate, the kids swung some more, we came in and ate cake and had coffee, and dad and josephine left. We came inside and started watching gymnastic, i called a few people, put the kids and bed, just so I could have some time to catch up on here. So there's my week...lol exciting huh? So now I'm still tired and exhausted so I'm going to bed. I'll blog again soon and hopefully I'll be in a better mood...lol

Another milestone, another memory
Okay so Fathers day was great even for me! I got to watch billy love his gifts we got him, fishing poles for the whole family and a tackle box for him, and I also got to spend fathers day evening with my dad which is something I hadn't been able to do in a few years. So we grilled some chicken and had a great dinner! We topped it off by cutting an awesome tasting watermelon! Then we played with the girls as tripp napped. We were running all around spinning the girls around, the girls were racing each other, getting rides on daddy's and papaws shoulders, being swung around like monkeys by daddy and papaw! they loved it. Miranda even loved it when papaw toted her around like a sack of potatoes! it was great. Then the darkness came and on with the light show, tons of lightening bugs (fireflies) came out and the girls thought it was awesome! Lore even held one until, miranda kept saying ewww gross, yucky! soooo funny! It was a great evening! Tripp was awesome, he played and laughed and was a great baby as usual! Wonderful memories we are making for these kiddos!
Now for the milestones, Tripp has his first tooth! and another one right beside it almost through. he's gonna have his bottom teeth first...awwwww! He is also babbling up a storm but in those babbles he's saying Da Da, over and over and over! So I guess one child had to say dada first! Oh well I know he's momma's boy anyway! So he's got a tooth and he's saying dada he'll be running anyday now! He's rolling everywhere, and growing like a weed!
Miranda is doing much better with some people, sunday she gave dad a high five with a right on, instead of the normal wave from a distance! woo hooo what a huge step for her! Loralie is doing great she's too smart for her own good most of the time, and it drives me crazy but she is an awesome helper most of the time.
So a blog I wrote about earlier, how time flies by, well trace atkins wrote a song that explains so well what my blog is basically about. the song is called "you're gonna miss this" oh my goodness this song is so great you'll have to look it up and listen to it sometime soon!
okay I'm off to hang with the kiddos, i'll blog again soon!

and It's Friday the 13th
So it's friday the 13th and it's been over a week since I blogged. Sorry! Anyway we've been busy. Still trying to get the house set up, we had my nieces graduation(which was awesome). We are planning on having my dad and josephine over sunday so we can cook dinner for him for fathers day. We are gonna grill some chicken. yummy. The kids are growing like weeds, I can't believe how big they are. Miranda has an appt with an orthopedist on the 23rd so hopefully we'll get more answers about her legs, we did find out one is about half and inch shorter than the other. Poor girl. She's so smart and such a pain all at the same time. She gives diva a whole new definition. So they are coloring which is giving me the 5 mins I needed to be able to catch everyone up. I got a new camera, yet another wonderful surprise from billy. he's awesome! i love it so far! the pics seem to come out really great! Okay so that's what we've been doing, I'll catch up more later when I have a few more minutes!
blog at ya later!
