Okay I have gotten the hint that I need to update this a little better...But here is the deal...Mom does not have much time to sit down on the computer by herself at home without the help of "Tinkerbell" coming along and either talking to her Papa on the phone or typing and locking up the computer..And then the fact that I don't really get to sit down period is another thing when at home with them..But anyways..I have a break at work so thought I would write a little short update...
Our holidays were great..got to see all the family on both sides and eat and eat and eat...Happy late bday to my mom she turned the big 60 on the 31st of December and we had a party for her...My friend Tawni made her the most beautiful cake and we took lots of pictures and my family says the are the best cakes in the world...So needless to say she is hired to make Jake and Trish's wedding cake and the kids cakes from now on, now I guess I better tell her huh??? We had a good new years had mom's bday and then went to some of our friends house to ring in the new year. Hard to believe it is 2007 already..
Paul has been duck hunting for about the last month, we have eaten lots of good duck and he has really enjoyed hunting them even if it is freezing outside...He gets a new shift this week he will be working the weekends which he is not happy about but that is how the shift bids fell this year. Told him we would have parties in the evenings for him so he does not feel like he is being left out..he will have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off and he will still be working days...He enjoys coming home to all of us (even though he might gripe and complain about us driving him nuts) hehe :) He has even went goose hunting a couple of times...He is trying to decide right now if he will maybe be an assistant coach on Andrew's tball team. We are suppose to sign him up this month before too long. He is ready to play so much that at Walmart the other day we had to look at batting gloves and told him we would wait to see what color his team would be and he even wanted to buy a new bat (he has two already) We are not sure if we are playing softball this year we have not heard yet on if there will be a team or not..
Andrew is doing good he just got over strep last week and got the doctor to pretreat Madison so that they both will stay well..We have been in and out of the doctors office with Maddie with tonsillitis and sinus infections for about a month and so did not want her to get strep during the ice storm and be miserable. Andrew is enjoying this week due to the ice storm he has been out of school since Friday and been playing at daycare with his friends and his sister...he and Maddie are becoming the sister/brother nightmare at times...the fighting, biting, screaming, hitting, kicking and tattling has began even at the young age of 1 for her. She picks on him he picks back and she tattles when does it end??? My mom and dad would tell you that it never does just watch me and my brothers...
As for me I stay trucking along...Been busy with work since being out at Christmas time and finally got all that caught up..then heard that we might be in for more ice this weekend which would throw me back on my work as well...Oh well the life of a supermom, as Andrew calls me... Very hard for me to believe that Madison will be 2 this year...And Andrew will be 6..Time seems to just fly by anymore not sure I am real happy about that but will make the most of it...The goats are doing well they are all due about February, let's see 20 plus goats times 1 to 2 babies when they kid you do the math...And for those that know me I am serious when I say you do the math and give me the answer...We are also feeding out 4 pigs this year again for meat..We need to try to find us a cow or two for beef plus we would like to get our fence done and get some cattle to feed and take care of, we both miss that...We had a leak in the kids bathroom ceiling that Olivers came out and fixed all is good now I think..Things at work keep me busy busy...I will be doing some traveling this year for my job, looks like Broken Arrow, Enid, Massachusetts again and possibly North Carolina not real sure on that one...
We found out we are going to be an uncle and aunt again, Chris and Jen and Hannah are expecting in August this year and I know how she is going to feel threw the summer months with Andrew being a July baby...They are also trying to buy a house out by us...That would be great for the kiddos..
We have a kinda busy weekend if the weather will let us...Hannah will be turning the big 3 and have a bday party on Saturday in Cushing and then I figure that we might be having a party for my sister in law Tammy sometime as well she had her bday on Monday of this week...Plus this will be the first weekend with out Daddy home both days...Andrew has been asking him about it for a couple of weeks now..Will take some getting use to but we just keep telling the kids that he will be home that night after work...Gonna miss him..
Just wanted to update all and if you have a chance take a look at the Christmas pictures on my photo album..
