Our First Official

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE is tomorrow at 9:35 with Mrs. Kennedy, Andrew's Pre K teacher.

We are not sure whether to be SCARED or NERVOUS as to what we will find out about or hear about our little guy.

I will report all when I get back to work tomorrow. Well maybe not all of it since those that know Mr. Andrew Paul Blankinship (Whip) know that there is not much you don't know and won't know after meeting him but that is why we love him so much.... ;)

Congrats Lil Brother

I heard this morning from Momma that you won the local competition on your welding...Way to go little brother knew that you could do it...And I know that you will do great in the next one coming up...

Love ya...Sis

Dangit

Ever had one of those days when you psych yourself up to go do something the night before and the few hours before you go do that and then when you go to do that one thing it falls apart?

Well that was me last night and this morning on giving blood and after I get there come to find out I can't give blood until July of this year due to the transfusion I had for my infection and hysterectomy. Dangit..And DAD you can't give unless you come off your meds for 7 days. That did state that in the paperwork you read but now where in there did it state that you can't give if you have not have transfusion.
I tried guys. When I left the Police were winning and they were not handing out tshirts they were handing out rulers with calculators on them.

Paul is up and running today and back at work he said he was okay until he ate breakfast at MOM's and now he is paying for it. He is still kinda weak but making it to work. It is over as fast as it starts 24 hours to be exact. And you feel like you have the flu that whole time with all the other extra yucks..

BIG NEWS FLASH...Madison took 4 steps last nite before anyone really realized what she was doing. She had a hold of my hand and the let go and I saw her take the 4 steps and then fall and realized that hey she just walked. Then of course she would never do it again for us all night long, go figure...STUBBORN she truly is..

Other then that not much else going on around our place at the moment. We will need to have a huge arse bon fire when it decides to flood to get out from under all the trash sacks piled outside in our junk jailer. And no I have not been burning since getting in told on by the neighbors to my father in law who gave me heck. I do not wish to go to jail or pay out the arse for the fines and even more then that do not want to burn down the country side.

Donate Blood Please..

The Annual "Boots and Badges" blood drive kicks off tomorrow from 9 am to 2 pm at the Stillwater Public Library on the second floor. This will continue until the end of February. After Wednesday you can go the American Red Cross Office at 114 W Eight street on Tuesday's from 12 to 6 pm and Fridays from 8 until 2.

When you go you get to choose who gets your donation the "BOOTS"-firefighters or the "BADGES"-police department. You get a commemorative T-shirt as well save up to three lives.

This will be my first time to donate and even talked Samantha in to giving as well. We both go tomorrow...Trying to convince her to say the police gets her donation instead of the firemen since her boyfriend is a volunteer firefighter, think I might have her switched over :)


For those that love me or heck even just like me a little :) please donate to the "BADGES" I would love to see the Police beat the Firemen this year..as well as up to three people's lives be saved this year

My Bad...

We have been going and going since before Christmas if you can't tell since not much has been updated on here but some pictures.... My bad ..

Kiddos are doing great growing and growing. Hard to believe that Madison will be a year old in May and Andrew will be 5 in July..Not so sure that I am ready for either of them to grow up at all. Andrew gets mad at me when I refer to him as my baby still. So have to go into that Mommy explanation of you were my first baby and will always be Mommy's baby and he just ignored me and he put on his man ears and let it stop before it got in there to sink in..

Paul is on weekends off and enjoying every minute of it. He went fishing with John Ray at Blackwell the other day and loved it. We are enjoying him being home as well. The kiddos got to visit both sets of granparents this weekend. Saturday our best friends from Chandler called and we went out with them for a couple of hours or so and then on Sunday we got to hit the dreaded Wally World for grocery shopping. Had to stock the pantry and get ready for super bowl.

Been busy busy busy at work so not much time for me to write too much and then when I get home not much slows down actually I think it speeds up to 4 times what I have during the day. And it is kinda bad to have to fight your 4 year old to get computer time :)

We had retakes of our family pictures over the break and they are good. I finally got them scanned today here at work and going to try to get them on here tonight at home if Andrew will give Mommy a turn on the computer and Ms. Maddie won't try to type and hide the mouse or unplug the stuff under the desk..

Happy Birthday to our sweetheart niece Hannah, she was 2 yesterday, hard to believe that she is that old. We sent her some birthday email cards and then also called the house and sang her happy birthday on the answering machine which her daddy said she just grinned and acted all shy when she listened to it...We have her big birthday bash on Saturday this week.

Happy late bday to Aunt Tammy, not gonna say your age..We had her party at Applebees a couple of weekends ago. We are all very grateful to hear that Austyn's test came back so good. We were thinking about him and Uncle Phil and Aunt Tammy.

The 24 hour bug has went through the family the last week guess it is running threw the daycare both kiddos had it and then I got it last week and then Paul has it today he is home in bed and not feeling well at all. My only prayer is that we don't keep passing it back and forth to each other. It is bad you start sick at one end and then either get both going at the same time or you have one then the other and kinda feels like the flu a little but ends as quick as it starts. Madison has a touch of pink that she came home last night so went to doctoring that eye and the other one as well..

Andrew is doing well in school or so we think anyway we have his first official parent teacher conference Friday, kinda nervous as to what we will hear about our son..He is loving his karate even though he will not talk to you about it or show you any moves have had to get sneaky to get him to show us moves. Madison is not walking but not sure whether she wants to or she is not going to until she is ready I kinda get the feeling it is the later part of that. Still no teeth she has been working on them though..

I am sure that I have forgotten something so if I think about it I will write it on here. This is the second time I have typed this today and the first time not sure where it went but had to retype it...
