Snow Day!

2011-01-14T18:32:00.001-08:00

it started sunday night and into early monday morning...since we're in the south 2-4 inches of snow means no school or work :/ no one was gonna go sliding down the hill :P so here's some snow day pics :) kids loved it...i had enough for this year...i'm not a big snow person ...once a year for one day is enough...there's still some out there and i'm ready for it be leave ...and spring to come already ;) i don't care for cold temps at all :P

Kim took some Christmas Pics :)

2011-01-14T18:12:00.000-08:00

Kim came out and took some pics of the kids for Christmas picture...it was a nice day outside but the big boys really didn't want to have their pics taken :/ but she still managed to get a few of them...this was sunset :)

Merry Christmas!

We have power in the addition! (which is what they did on a snow day)
here's a few more pics...they're still taping and mudding the sheet rock...this is a very slow process :/ and illness and freezing weather isn't helping things get done :/ but Billy did get the floor insulation in :) yay! no freezing floor! for now they use space heaters till they get it open up to the main area :)

Progress from December

pics of the floor frame (i guess that's what it called) :) anyway that part is done...now the need to i think lay the floor and walls and all that fun stuff next ;)

daddy working on the floor frame :)

Pictures from the kids...

2010-08-14T11:20:00.001-07:00

some small children got my camera when daddy was in charge ;) and always fun to find pictures on my camera i didn't take...i think most of them were taken by Christian ...not sure (i really don't like them getting my camera >:( they always touch the lens) *sigh* i have now moved it to a safer spot...

progress :)

2010-08-14T11:08:00.000-07:00

look there are blocks and they're put together :P ...actually since taking these pictures (which it was so hot outside i took them from the deck) :P they have gotten more blocks done...today they're working on moving the fence since they'll have to move the deck and we'll be using the back door soon... they'd probably be further along but it's been way too hot outside for them to work ;)

dig that hole :P

2010-07-01T17:49:00.001-07:00

hehehe >:P

Flower girl Lily

2010-06-24T12:16:00.000-07:00

Lily got to be a flower girl in a wedding from ppl my husband use to work with before he went to his new job. They didn't know any little girls and thought Lily was cute so asked if we'd let her and of course we said yes....here's so pics of my baby girl being a flower girl...the pictures aren't great...it was dark in the building and my camera is getting old and it's not wanting to take clear pictures anymore and Billy forgot to charge his camera battery so we couldn't take his camera...

Still working :P

2010-06-24T12:00:00.000-07:00

I have dug more square holes :P and they have pour concrete in some of them...one is marked but can't dig that one yet...they might be the water line and the power plug to the well buried under there...so they have to unplug the cord first :) that would be bad to cut through plugged in :P ....i think if I counted right like 6 more holes to dig ....the fence still needs to be moved and they'll have to move the deck...dad said this is one of hardest parts to do...*sigh* i'm sore from digging and the 100 plus heat isn't helping us any :P if it's not raining i guess it's hot ...

Slowly we're starting....

2010-04-26T21:14:00.000-07:00

I have no clue what to call the wood things they've staked in the ground or what I'm digging square hole things.... ;) but here's some pics of the slow progress we've made for the addition...it's been either raining or we've been sick ... but one square hole out of many dug! ....Billy still has to get the back fence moved back so we can use the back door cause dad said the front will have to do without awhile while we're working ;) ...anyway here so pics ;P and you can even see how extremely white my legs are :P and why never wear shorts hehe

Christian's kindergarten program

2009-05-16T12:57:00.000-07:00

this is Christian's end of the year kindergarten program. It's a bit shaky cause Billy was trying to wave to him while taking it. He's the one on stage with the orange shirt and green hat.

new sofas!

2009-03-03T18:49:00.000-08:00

we got a new sofa and loveseat *soooo happy* the old ones were smelly and stained and had the stuffing coming out cause the seams got ripped open and no matter how many times i sewed them back up they tore open again. :/
here are some pics of the old (ugly blue) and the new (pretty brown) :)

old and ugly :P loveseat

old and ugly sofa

new and shiny loveseat

new and shiny sofa :)

feeling down

2009-02-17T18:07:00.000-08:00

I think I'm gonna be stuck in my cracker box that's falling apart around me forever...

cell phone!

2009-01-09T12:08:00.000-08:00

I now have my pretty new red cell phone!!!!! and i'm glad that red is a deep dark red not bright red (i wasn't sure when i order it...just didn't want "silver" which looked uh boring gray) now to figure out how it works...might post a pic later...it's the pantech duo (red of course) ;)

:/

2008-12-30T17:52:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling down today.... :( i guess being sick during Christmas and not getting to leave the cracker box of a small dinky trailer for awhile (cause i'm sick) and then right before Christmas getting news that we didn't get the bigger trailer and then our pump on our well is broke (still waiting for that to get fixed) *sigh* maybe i'll have a better day soon :( and i guess i should add that the inside parts to the toilet tank need replacing ...we have to turn off the water to the toilet or it won't start running. but at least for Christmas my parents gave me money so i can get my pretty red cell phone when it comes back in stock.

sigh having a blah day....

2008-12-23T14:28:00.000-08:00

so the stupid pump thing on the well is broken...so they bought a new tank...still broken so it might be something at the bottom of the well...been to freakN cold to work it...so today i'm still without water...billy was gonna hook up to my parents water hose next door so i could at least wash some dishes by hand and have running water for awhile but their was water frozen in the hose and he could get it thawed before he had to leave for work. So maybe tomorrow they might get me some water running in here while they try to figure out how to fix the well...and i woke up this morning with a headcold just in time for Christmas...have to carry on the tradition of being sick every Christmas. and I was excited that I was gonna get a nice new cell phone with some Christmas money that Billy's grandparents has so kindly sent us for Christmas but that money went to buy the new tank for the well. *sigh* now i'm bummed again. don't get a nice bigger place to live and no pretty new red cell phone. *tries to be happy* I know other ppl have it worse so I'm trying not to whine and be too bummed but I need a little pitty party for myself so I can at least enjoying watching my kids open their Christmas presents ...and maybe i'll be able to get the house cleaned up before then. :P

done waiting

2008-12-19T12:44:00.000-08:00

after all the crap the mortgage company put us through. They said NO :/ so no nice big trailer.

snuggle sleeping

2008-12-18T16:39:00.001-08:00

Special and Daisy

2008-12-16T18:42:00.000-08:00

This is Special and Daisy they've become best buddies :) and Daisy has made herself right at home.

sleet

2008-12-16T18:22:00.000-08:00

This is the yard it's all sleet no snow *sigh*

This is our ice covered road :/

and another look at the yard towards the road

snow...

2008-12-14T14:03:00.000-08:00

I don't have a picture as it was hard to see....but today it snow. I walked outside to toss out the kitty litter bag *eww* and the sun was shine through the clouds and you could see the snow fall. It was 56 F outside so it was melting before it ever hit the ground...It was a neat site and didn't last long either...Just long enough for me to yell at Billy and for him to see it.

kitty

2008-12-11T14:08:00.000-08:00

some stray kittens that my mom was feeding the momma cat next door have decided to get under my trailer....well one of them some how got in the fenced backyard with 5 dogs :( thankfully i was able to save him/her in time. Kitty bit me pretty good >:( on my fingers very very painful! and I have him/her in the bathtub right now cause i'm not sure what to do with a mean scared kitty. :/ but here's a pic of the dirty scared kitty.

We wait some more of course :P

2008-12-11T13:24:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we got our bankruptcy discharge papers in the mail. So dh took a copy to the trailer place today so they could fax them to the mortgage company. Maybe that will speed things up...who knows last we heard they were waiting for vanderbilt to clear it off that we owe 18k. :/ I'm trying to hope cause the mortgage company hasn't said no yet that it's a good thing?... *sigh* will post when we get a no or yes....well at least I have Christmas to take my mind off of it. ;)

feeling sad

2008-12-04T20:45:00.001-08:00

all this waiting to find out a yes or no about getting the bigger place has really got me down. :/ probably cause i want to be happy and hopeful but if think like that i'll be even more crushed if we get a no. :( which for some reason i think we'll get a no :( ....now off to soak in the hot tub maybe i'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

still waiting...

2008-12-04T14:24:00.000-08:00

we are now waiting it seems for vanderbilt to get the paper work from our trustee. then they have to process it and sent it to their legal department then somewhere along the line they sent out the title to us and the information to 21st century and then 21st will decide if they still want to loan my mother the money....I'm wondering how long this process is gonna take...my dad thinks a 2-3 weeks. Guess all we can do is continue to wait....

waiting

2008-11-25T12:17:00.000-08:00

we got our paperwork that states we've paid out of our bankruptcy and have dropped it off at the trailer place...since i didn't post about it i guess i should put on here why...well my mother (she has great credit rating) is doing trying to do a buy for loan to help us get a very nice used doublewide (5 bedroom/ 3bathroom) it's twice the size of what we live in now (2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom single wide). She was pre approved but seem when you do a buy for they want to know who's gonna live in and they get to run that person credit. well it showed up that we owed 18k to Vanderbilt *grumbles* well we don't that was what we settle in court to pay when we final for chapter 13 bankruptcy (this was a last result) which is now paid off. but it could take a while to clear off our credit according to the trustee we might have to go back to court again with them if they don't want to take it off...but anyway we didn't know they had any problems till after we thought we had the loan completely approved and then the mortgage company called and said this is a problem...So now it's up to them with this new info to decide if they want to loan my mother the money. *sigh* and since Thanksgiving is Thursday then we've been told we probably won't hear anything (good or bad) till next week....i guess they'll say No to lending the money (even if my mother could pay the payments...how stupid are they *grrr*) but when i find out it will either be a sad blog post or happy blog post update....but anyway Happy Thanksgiving :)
btw i didn't check my grammar or spelling :P *good luck trying to read it* **giggles**

Finally!!!!

2008-11-24T14:56:00.000-08:00

after paying for 5 years we're finally out of bankruptcy. :) this is very good news
we're just waiting for our paper work in the mail...

sad

2008-11-20T19:31:00.000-08:00

I am sad. :( Yesterday excited ...a phone call this morning while I was napping has made me sad. *sigh* Now we wait to see if the excitement can come back... :(

My Guitar Hero

2008-08-23T22:24:00.000-07:00

This is my baby girl playing Guitar Hero in Best Buy. My cousin took it with her cell phone. Which I'm glad she had or I wouldn't have this cute video and picture! :)

2008-08-22T21:14:00.000-07:00

I went out to check the dogs water outside and I found a huge frog (it was bigger than my hand).
I found something to help him out (I wasn't about to touch it) after I took it pic of course. It then very quickly hopped away. :) (and yes I know the water bowl needs to be cleaned...that's my hubby's job) ;)

Rash :/

2008-08-21T19:49:00.000-07:00

My baby got sick with a respiratory infection (again) this time he was put on omnicef ....well that didn't like him too well and now he's all spotty. I took these after we got home from the doctor sadly it looks worse now and has spread alot more. Anyway seems he's allergic to omnicef. He's now taking a different medicine.

Very cranky baby.

rash beginning to spread everywhere

trying to smile for the camera even if he feels awful

Just sharing some pictures

2008-08-07T21:42:00.001-07:00

I went outside to throw out some trash and ran back in to get my camera cause the moon was so pretty. :) I almost completely missed it ...but here's my moon pic :P

this one is a bit out of focus but it's really neat looking :P

If no one has shown you had to use the tripod so you can take a night picture...then just lay in the road and take a pic. :P too bad I missed getting the lightning.

My poor baby

2008-08-07T21:37:00.000-07:00

This is my poor baby Will...he was up fussy till 4am :/ and so were we...*sigh* he's teething and has a cold and seems to be going through a growth spurt. I hope he feels better soon.
(I warped the background quickly to get rid of me there ...wasn't a pretty sight) ;)

Yay! my baby boy!

2008-08-04T11:52:00.000-07:00

My baby boy Will took his first steps to his daddy today! So of course I'm sharing it here. I didn't get any pics. :/ but he's all snotty faced anyway ...he has another cold *sigh* Won't be long now till he's walking and getting into stuff.

ewww!

2008-07-30T16:18:00.000-07:00

This is what I just washed...chocolate and a pink carseat for a 2 year old is ewwy. Plus she had Mcdonalds this morning which made it worse...so greasy chocolate mess with I think might also have some mt.dew you can't really see on it and possibly some coke. :/ Now I have to figure out how to get the cover back on the carseat. That's the hard part. *sigh*

Yay!

2008-07-28T22:15:00.000-07:00

With some wonderful help I was able to have my blog page not so freakN bright. Now I really like purple but after a few days the pink was making me ill and the purple was hurting my eyes. I hope everyone likes it better not so bright. :)
and a special thanks to my cousin Kimberly and Mr. O for all their help. :)

Bees!

2008-07-27T18:59:00.000-07:00

Photo fun

2008-07-27T17:07:00.000-07:00

First I was going to go outside and take some pics of my daughter but she just wanted to run around. So we walked around and there was a butterfly on a flower bushy thing (have no clue what kind it is) then I was playing with photo editor *fun* and now I'm sharing :) I just added the sunflower i took a pic of in my dad's garden next door :)

Dragonfly!

Must watch tv!

2008-07-25T18:28:00.000-07:00

This is my youngest son Will who is suppose to be eating dinner....well dinner looks to be gone or mostly beside him in his chair...so he has turned around (twisted his entire body) just to see the tv. (I usually turn it off during dinner but I forgot.) He is defiantly his daddy son! :P

Lazy cat

2008-07-23T21:08:00.001-07:00

This is what my cat keeps doing tonight everytime I sit down at the computer :P lazy thing. Billy says since he likes his belly rubbed he must think he's a dog. :P

Explodey can....well almost

2008-07-23T19:42:00.000-07:00
