Life

Things have been crazy busy here since I last posted on the 22nd. Kris started in 3-midnight schedule this week which is his 4th week of work. So far he likes it...I however do not! It feels like I never see him :( He gets home at midnight and I am sleeping and then he gets up around 11 and has to leave by 1:15. I have also not been home a lot this week because Grandma BJ passed away so I am helping DaNene and everyone go through stuff before Mom and Bob have to go back to work. The graveside service for BJ is tomorrow at 5:30 followed by a memorial dinner at 6:00 at Athena Christian Church. Things are starting to slow down so next week shouldn't be so hectic.

We went to Vancouver this past weekend to see my Grandma and Grandpa up there because they were both sick. It was a GREAT visit! Sadly it wasn't long enough but we will be going back up soon. We took Whitney with us so she didn't have to deal with what was going on here. We took the kids to OMSI which was fun for them but in my opinion to expensive and not enough to do.

The boys were supposed to start track practice last night but the weather was bad so they are hoping to start tomorrow. They are glad for practice because they don't have to go to the funeral. Other than all the chaos going on here we are doing good and keeping busy.

One funny thing last night, again bedtime with Kamryn, he went running through the house screaming "I'm a moron!" I have no idea why he said that or if anything prompted him to say it...lol. I was in my room watching a movie and Kristopher was in the shower...just goes to show just how random Kamryn can be :)

Spring Break

I haven't posted in awhile because things have been slow...lol. The boys haven't said or done anything funny enough to have to write it down. They are excited that they are out of school for a week only because they are under the impression that they get to play video games ALL week long. Little do they know that they will be spending a lot of time outside if the weather stays nice :) I was suprised that today they wanted to stop playing and go outside and ride bikes...maybe this won't be so hard after all :)

I have not been feeling well, not really sick but not up to par. Dragging and it is killing me knowing that I am doing nothing. I am currently doing laundry which is taking all the motivation I have to get it done because I would rather just lay around and read or watch a movie...but life calls and I have to answer :) Kristopher woke up Sunday morning at 3:45 saying he couldn't breathe, that his stomach hurt and his throat hurt. He had a fever and was still sick until today...some little bug going around but we are thankful that it hasn't stuck around and that he is back to himself.

Kris works 10-7 this week :( Kind of sucks him not being home...but at least we see him before he goes to work and when he gets home :)

We aren't doing anything exciting this week just hangin out at home and maybe going to a park or two. Someday we will make it back down to the beach :) Someday...

MEGATRON!

I became a fan of a page on facebook called "My sister said that if I get 1 million fans, she will name the baby MEGATRON!" Well, Rachelle posted on my wall and said "HA HA HA! I am NOT naming it MEGATRON!" When I became a fan of the page I wasn't even thinking about Rachelle being pregnant. I couldn't stop laughing. I told her it wasn't about her and that I hadn't even put two and two together about her being pregnant and the page I became a fan of...lol. I am STILL laughing about it! I love you Rachelle and I wouldn't let you name the baby MEGATRON...although I became a fan because I think it would be hilarious if the person did actually have to name her kid MEGATRON! Good times, Good times!!

Checking in

I haven't blogged in a couple of days...but nothing "clever" has come out of the mouths of my children :) Until tonight...Kamryn got out of the shower and said "I found a chain which is evidence and Kristopher peed on the toilet seat!" That was totally random...how does a chain prove that Kristopher peed on the seat? :)

Other than that little line they haven't said anything else :( Kind of boring. we got a Wii and the boys are looking forward to playing that this weekend. have been busy getting ready for Anne's bridal shower which is Saturday at 10:30 at the church. Busy, busy, busy.

Tomorrow I have to meet with Mr. Copeland and talk about the Music Teacher job that will be for the next school year. Praying things go good there although it is not an interview he just wants to get to know me, what my education background is and fill me in on the job.

Now we are going to watch Planet 51...have a goodnight everyone. :)

Dinner with Kristopher and Kamryn

Earlier today Kris went to get propane in the tank and the only place that is open on Sundays their propane was out of order so he didn't get any. We had enough in the tank to cook dinner so we did. We sat down to eat dinner and Kristopher said to Kris "where did you get propane Dad?" Kristopher had gone with him earlier so he knew he didn't get any. Kris said "I didn't get any" and Kristopher said "So how did you cook the meat did you have some propane left?" and before Kris could respond Kamryn said "No Kris, he put them on the grill and let the sun burn them."

Where in the world does he get this stuff from...lol.

Lunch and the many hats of Kamryn :)

Had a good day at church and lunch with family and friends were there. Sean Robert (my nephew) was poking his cheesburger with a toothpick and counting as he did it...then he would stick the toothpick in the side and then start poking and counting all over again. The boys sat at a table with a friend and they talked it was nice to not hear them fighting :) My boys are growing up so fast.

Now I am home sitting on the couch below the window enjoying the sunshine :) Kamryn is at the basketball courts and Kristopher is stuck inside (he's grounded)

Here's a Kamryn story...last night there was an empty Dr. Pepper box on the kitchen floor and kamryn decided he wanted to make a good use of it. He tore the end flaps off and tried to put it on his head and said he was Slim Jim Man. Well, because his head is bigger than the box it would rip. Then he would tear that part off and try again, in the process calling himself Dr. Pepper Hobo man. Finally he gave up trying to get it to stay without ripping so he just let it rip the rest of the way and put it all the way on his head....he said he was Knight :) Kind of looked like a helmet. Silly, silly boy! Kamryn is known for putting things on as hats :)

Beautiful Day!!

We went grocery shopping today, which surprisingly went very well. Came home and put groceries away and now we are sitting outside enjoying the sunshine :) Sadly, Kris is at work until 6 then he comes home for about an hour and a half and then has to go do a paper route. Thankfully tonight is his last night doing that.

Kristopher is grounded but I am allowing him to sit outside with us so he can get some sun :) Getting ready to have a "girls night" with Rachelle and Anne...ok not really a girls night when we have all of our kids :) But hey...can't complain, I get to hang out with two people who are AWESOME!! :)

Dinner and a quick funny story

We just got home from a celebration dinner with Mom, Bob and Jen for Kris getting his full-time job. Mmmm Mmmm Good, Mongolian BBQ!! It was nice visiting with the rents and sibling :) We are still really wound up from the news and can't thank God enough for this wonderful opportunity :)

Compliments of Mrs. Wenzel (the boys music teacher) a funny story about Kristopher today. As you all know I have a Bachelors in Music....

Mrs. Wenzel wrote me on facebook and told me that she announced that the 5th graders will be playing their recorders on May 18th in the concert and that this was a mandatory assignment and it will only be excused with a signed note from their parents. She said there was the usual complaining and grumbling but there was one student who said loud and clear "I'm not gonna go!" and that student was none other than MY Kristopher! She had to keep from laughing because she knows I would not allow Kristopher to miss the concert.

So I just asked Kristopher about it and he started laughing and said "I'm not gonna go" and I said "Yes, you are" and he said "Fine, I'm wearing shorts!" LOL at least if he is going to rebel it will be by wearing shorts :)

Whoopi Cushions!

I got the boys whoopi cushions yesterday and they are playing with them right now. Kristopher blows his up and then puts it on the couch and sits on it. Well, if he doesn't put some force behind it, it won't go off. So he grips the couch cushion and the arm of the couch and pushes. He did this a coupld of times and the last time he did it he made grunting sounds...lol. It finally went off and it sounded so realistic and it fit with his grunting.! Boys will be boys :)

Kris' Job!!

Kris went in for orientation today at Home Depot and he was supposed to only be working temp for 90 days. He texted me around noon and said he had good news so I had to wait until 1:45 to hear the news.

He was offered a full-time position! He took it! So now he has a full-time job with LOTS of potential...our opportunities are endless! I am sooooo excited...and employee discount! SWEET!! God is so good!

Visiting with Anne

I am at Anne's house and we are talking about kids :) The topic of our lives cause we have too many kids and nothing better to do. I originally came over to talk about the upcoming bridal shower and the wedding and we haven't talked about it at all. :)

River is currently sitting on the edge of the couch starring at what I am doing, easily amused. Soon we will be talking about plans and then I will go back home and do nothing...story of my life.

That's what's going on right now...random I know :)

Direct TV

For those of you that have Direct TV or any thing like it :)

We watch a bunch of shows and when they all started back up again in September we were so busy that we decided to record them. We figured we would watch them the next night or before the next one came on. Well.....one episode turned into 2 and then 3 and so on all the way up to 14!! So over Christmas break we watched all of the House episodes and some of Ghost Whisperer and thought we had done pretty good. Then we fell behind again and now have 4 or 5 House to watch and back up to 9 Ghost Whisperer.

I finally decided that I would delete Fringe because it wasn't one of those that I HAD to see (there were 14 of them) and we had also recorded Three Rivers(13 of those)....well come to find out that show isn't on anymore...again, one season and then it is off. The main character in that show was in a show called Moonlight which was only on for one season and then never came back...so is it his acting or are they just putting him in shows that nobody wants to watch...although Moonlight was a dang good show! Ok back on track.....I didn't want to get hooked on a show that wasn't coming back on.

So over the past 3 days we watched about 3 Bones episodes, and all 14 of the CSI:Miami episodes we have missed. After getting through all of those I told Kris...we will watch them before the next one airs....we will see how long that lasts.

My advice to anyone who records their shows....don't let them pile up it takes forever to watch them. Although it is nice because you can watch them when you want, it is a pain if you don't stay on top of them :)

On another note....I'm hungry :)

First blog EVER :)

So, I am a regular status poster on facebook and a friend of mine told me I should blog so here goes nothin'. :)

I will start by saying I am happily married to my wonderful Husband Kris and we have two boys Kristopher and Kamryn. Most of my blogs will be about the funny things my children say and do and how I feel about things. I don't hold back when I am facebooking, tweeting or now this blogging :) When I feel strongly about something I voice my opinion :)....and I am VERY random as well :) I hope you all enjoy my blog!

So since most of you will have seen this on facebook I will just put this up quickly and go a little more into detail :)

Kamryn was in our room last night avoiding going to bed by trying to get on our bed. He had jumped on it three or four times and the last time Kris and I both said at the same time "Get off the bed!" Kamryn got this sad look on his face and said "you don't have to yell at me." Half way through that he started smiling. After he said that he walked towards our closet and opened the door. He stepped inside and said "I'm going to Narnia!" then shut the door. We just looked at each other and started laughing. While Kamryn was in the closet he said "I found it!" Again, all we could do was laugh :) Kamryn, is the commedian in this family and he does a fine job of it!

Ok, so that's the detailed version and I will hopefully have another funny story soon, or something just random and out of the blue :)
