pic one of a billion

Here are two pics of Mahna holding her brother Cole who she asks to hold at least 3 times a day. They love eachother sooooooo much and it is amazing to watch. She is not jealous acting of him whatsoever. It is so cute to watch her make him smile.


OK the last post I wrote in this series u are about to start reading was really the first one but i forgot they would post backward. SO here is post one of a bunch of pics, so scroll down and check out my shtuff.

Summer Swimmin' at the folks

Swimming time!!!!! Mahna and Cole are so blessed to have their great Grandma youthful enough to go swimmin with 'em!

Dallas Arboretum

Here are our pictures from visiting the Dallas Arboretum Saturday. It was so beautiful and practically vacant. The kids were great and it was a really peaceful time with my gma and her friend and my parents. Mahna and "grandad" are so cute together. She bugs him constantly to do things with her and he is very silly/cute about it. There is a pond of coi in one section of the arboretum that we were throwing pretzels to and they were crazy hungry! These huge fish were jumping over eachother fighting for the pretzels......like over the top of the water!

Rhuedasil Park

Here is a couple of pics from our awesome day at Rhuedasil park last week. We got up at the crack of dawn (8 a.m haha) to go feed the ducks before it got too hot outside. Lucky us it was overcast and we got to stay several hours. There were sooooo many ducks and some of them are unbelievably huge! We fed them a whole box of crackers and they were still hungry. There were a lot of other cool kids there and Cole was sooooooo good the whole time. Mahna had fun pushing him in his little stroller. The older girl is my niece Tina, in case u didn't already know her. She is spending a lotta time with us this summer.

Jarrod with his kiddos on Mahna's little bed that is next to our bed.
And Cole N jarrod on the couch.......I love those cute girraffe jammies Cole has on. THey are size 12 months!!! (he is 6 mo)

huz and ma in law

I sometimes like to brag about how hot my huz is. I like this pic of he and his momma at the 'family reunion' a few weeks back. Can you believe that woman is over 50 and has 4 kids?

if mom is annoyed everyone must be!

Sorry for my non blogging........ i need someone to ask me questions cuz i have no idea lately of what people want to know about me or my life..... SO here are some pics. And ya'll that want to know anything ask me something in my comment bar.



Here is pic one of a million (so keep scrolling) This is Mahna and Cole in their cute matching shirts and hottie sunglasses on my living room floor.

Seven

Happy Anniversary to Jarrod and I. At 3 pm. today it will be the end of our 7th year married. I won't gush on here about the things I think and feel, for those are better said to him today.

Anything to share? (comment!) I have heard a few wives tales of the 7 year itch and 'if u can make it past 7 you can make it'........

for Sunday readers

Ugh, it is too early. I went to bed after 2 a.m. Mahna went to bed around 1:00 as did my nieces who stayed the night. I was expecting to sleep in til the last second before church this morning. So much for that! Mahna was up a little before 8. I guess that means she will take a good nap today but man I really wanted to sleep this morning. I did get some sugar free french vanilla creamer this week. It only came in a big huge size, so I have plenty. I actually started drinking coffee without sugar/splenda in it cuz this creamer is so yummy. I have been trying to lose weight this week. Dieting sucks. As if everyone didn't know. So I guess I wll drink a pot o' coffee this morning before church at 10:30. I signed up to help with cutting out VBS stuff and filling in letters for decorations and today is the day to turn it all in, so I really should be finishing all that right now instead of blogging. My nieces are going to disney world w/ their other auntie and their dad for a few days, then on to Canada for a couple weeks and Virginia for a week to see their other other aunt and cousins. I am gonna miss them. My parents are gone so I gotta go check on the house and get Elliott, who thankfully got over his stomach problem, so I don't have to worry more than usual over my carpet while he's here. I just hope my brother doesn't show up at the house anytime while I am there, so I don't have to deal with any confrontation. Then again I wish I could see that he is "ok", too. Blah blah blah. Jarrod and I have been having a lot of laughs together lately which is really cool. Makes life more enjoyable for sure. Our 7th anniversary is on Father's day and I truly can't believe 7 years have gone by. This year seems like a "big one", to both of us. I can remember things that happened at our first apartment and it seems like just a couple months ago. Well I better get some stuff done, like making that pot o' coffee. Oh by the way THANKS MOM for telling me how to use my iced tea maker. 7 years later, I finally made a decent pitcher of tea for Jarrod. HOORAY!

favor to ask

The last few posts I have made, no one commented on. I am just wondering if my blog has dropped off the radar. Would you mind leaving me a message/comment saying u read it. If you want to remain anonymous that is all good w/ me.

promised afternoon update

Ok, well the meeting went very well. I amjust horribly impatient, and he will not start being this bank's courier service until AUGUST!!!! That is two months, becuz they have to give their current service two month cancellation notice. Bummer, but ok. It will be awesome once it starts. He loves those people and they love him, so it will be much better than the guy TONY he was working for before. That guy was such an ass. N E WAYS.....

Nikki, good idea about healthy snacks!

Cin...money tree doing good and so far the 'universe' has provided all we have needed to make it thus far, jobless.

OH! Something bad happened, though. Lexy (3 yrs old) was getting in Penny (dog)'s face and I was off with the other kiddos and Penny bit her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so pissed off, I am leaving Penny outside and thinking of getting rid of her. I know she was cornered, but she bit Lexy's LIP! It was bleeding and you know that Lexy will possibly be frightened by dogs now! I can't call her mom at work, and Lexy is ok now but I will have to explain this later and if it happened to my kid i would be pretty PISSED.

Jessica.......Thanks for always reading! I wish I could post pics, I have a million new and good ones, but this isn't my computer so I can't download the pics. Hopefully soon!

Hugs to all.

howdy loyal friends!

i am not a dumdum
ok i really do know how to spell 'computer'

mine is fixed but missing drivers for the wireless card. you can download them on the internet, but duh.... no wireless card NO INTERNET

So Tivany was nice enuf to bring over her dad-e-o's computer to calm my withdrawl symptoms from MYSPACE

Today is my fourth day of babysitting two little kiddos from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. It has been mostly good, and fun. There are stressful moments here and there, but It hink mostly it is fun having kids for Mahna to play with and learn how to share with. The sucky part is that I have been getting up at 5:45 a.m. and going to bed after midnight. I really want a nap!!!! :) But when I get free time I do not use it for sleeping. Also, I see how being a babysitter or housewife could really fatten you up. I have been munching on whatever they eat, like donuts, hotdogs, nuggets and french toast sticks.

Jarrod's big meeting with the main customer he wants is this very moment!!!!! (9 a.m.) and I am so excited to see how it goes. Much of our immediate future depends on today. He looked great when he left and seemed very relaxed. If I get a minute later I will update with what happens!

Cole turned 5 mo. old on Monday. He rolls over, plays with toys a little, sucks on his whole fist, likes a pacifier, smiles a lot and giggles a lot. He is so much fun, he totally lights up my world. Of course, Mahna lights up my world as well, but in different ways. Cole is a smiling face with simple needs. Mahna is fun to play with and have amazing conversations with. I never thought I would be able to equally love two kids, but I so totally do. I think it is an indescribable feeling you don't know until you 'know'.

moosh moosh

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!
