Needing racers!!!!!

Ok, well the time has come for Race for the Cure! This is a big deal in our family, for my MOM is a SURVIVOR, my friend and co-teacher is a SURVIVOR, and in MEMORY of my Aunt and my Friend Melinda(I have her son in my class this year, Yipee), whose blog is on my list.

We race for a cure for me, my kids, my friends and for everyone else. I will be setting up a team in the next few days and would love to have others join. It is a special time, and it's a special feeling to participate. If you haven't done it, then you should give it a try. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I will have a link soon to the team page, you would be able to sign up there too. I would love to have at least 20 people on the team.

As always don't forget your monthly exam, for that is how my mom found hers!

Swing of things!

Well I'm getting into the swing of things. The worst is getting up early in the morning. My body isn't quite there. Today my dad took Ellarie to school. It was nice to not have to get 3 kids and me ready, tomorrow I have to though.
Ellarie is really enjoying school, other than the second day when she got in trouble. I figured she wouldn't stop talking, nope, she wouldn't stay seated. I asked her if she needed duct tape? We'll see, she says! Oh, that girl can make me laugh. Today she did great, she was excited. Later I found out the deal my dad has made with her. He told me that if she gets a yellow card she has to pay him 2 nickles, if she is good then she gets a nickle. I'm thinking way to go dad, already bribing the kid.

This Sunday was promotion day, Ellarie was happy to be in a new room. I forgot I had to go get her after sunday school, OOPS! I teach so it's hard for me to go get her till someone else is in my class. I think Attikus gets spoiled in his sunday school. He is so little, they think he is younger then he is. Ellarie also started back to Awana's, her teachers are friends of my family. My dad and Rocky went to school together, then Rocky and his kids went to school with my brother and I. I decorated my sunday school class that evening. It turned out really cute! I went with Noah's Ark for the theme. I thought animals was perfect for wobblers. I also found out I will be helping in the child care in the evening. I'm excited to be doing more in the church. I worked at another church all the time and felt like I was never at my church. Now that my kids are getting older and more into things at church, it was perfect for me to cut back at the other church and help out the church I'm raising my kids in.

Well we leave in less then 3wks, and I'm scared to pack! I haven't packed for 3 kids before. The last time was just 2 kids and me and I thought we had a lot of bags then. I keep telling my dad that we need a (Big O Rolling Terd) I know that sounds bad, but if you've seen RV, then you would be laughing at that saying. Anyways, my mom makes custom outfits for the girls to wear to Disney. Some are even for dining with characters. Here are a couple of outfits that she got done.

















This is what they will be wearing when they eat with Winnie the Pooh.














Can't forget the twirl factor!
























Here are some snap shots from Saturday!





















Here are the girls helping my mom sew the curtains for my sunday school class. They were having fun!



















That's about it for now. Oh Yea! Araeyah peepeed in the potty today. YEAH!!!!!

First Day of School

Well Ellarie had her first day of school. I can't believe it's here already. She was really excited about going. My mom made her nap mat, and her first day of school outfit.





I think she was ready for me to leave.


everyone asked if I cried! Well first off, I really should have a film crew follow me. Because with my 2yr old in tow, there is no telling what is going to happen!!!!
That kid can move, for a short legged 2yr old. I go and drop Ellarie off, then I lost Araeyah; found Araeyah. Take Pic. of Ellarie, lost RaeRae again! This time bathroom. I go Potty she says, OK! Well as you may guess the potty issue is a battle of the WILLS, and GUESS WHO IS WINNING! I go and get the baby, and start leaving.
WAIT! I didn't even kiss Ellarie Bye! I ran back in and gave her a kiss.
So to those who want to know if I cried! NO! Araeyah made sure of that. I thought about crying because Araeyah couldn't stay,lol but that's another story! I went and got her this afternoon, and good NEWS! I just have to pull up and drop off and pick up at the door, WOO HOO!!!!! She had alot of fun and was ready to go back there. I'm really excited for her. I did ask who she played with, she told me 2 names, but they aren't even in her class. Who Knows!

I felt bad for a first day of school, the girls had to go to the dentist. I didn't know that it was first day when I booked it 6mos. earlier. Poor Ellarie, she even has 2 cavaties. So fall break we will be back at the dentist!

Here are some fun pictures of the week. We went out ot eat before Ellarie couldn't go again. The pics. of Ellarie waking up, is from the first day of school.



I had to put some pics. of A.J.

Open House

Well today was Ellarie's open house. She was a little confused about it, she kept asking if we were going to her teachers house. I could understand that. It was really cute, she saw her teacher and goes we aren't at your house! (Shrugged her shoulders) I was glad to see that she knew a few of her friends. She even had one from church, even better. I can't believe school starts Thursday, she is really excited. Here is a picture of her after open house.

Back to work

Well I started back to work today. I'm tired but excited, I have to get my schedule going with 3 kiddos. Plus 2 kiddos aren't sleeping really good, so lack of sleep is getting to me. It was a fun day, and I really like my co-teacher. We are going to have a fun yr. Poor kids have a Ms Ginny and a Ms Jennifer, won't that be fun.

Attikus was suppose to go to the nursery today, but I went to drop him off and the youngest was around 1, so I said never mind. He was really good through the meeting all day. He is such a good baby, who is rolling over all the time. He has got to stop growing so fast.

On top of going back to school this week, I thought I would put Ellarie in a cheerleading camp at the little gym http://www.thelittlegym.com/gym/default.aspx?gymid=362 She is having so much fun. I can't decide if Araeyah is going to start dance or if I should put her in gymnastics. You know Araeyah, my little MONKEY! Poor kid has so many bumps on her, and again she fell going into mazzios for dinner. I think it is becoming a daily habit of falling. I'll have to take pictures of her head, she was the right height at Ellarie's gymnastics and she creamed into the bleachers. Poor baby, through a fit for a bout 2 seconds and was ready to go at it again. I think maybe Football is her calling. lol

Speaking of Ms Araeyah, we are going to be going back to the gastro Dr. She is fine on the weight, but there is still something bothering her tummy. Good news, she can finally eat peanut butter! My poor kiddos, I wish I knew what is wrong with them. I think we may see if Ellarie has a lactose problem, then we are checking into Wheat. We may be doing both girls with the wheat. I have to wait till I see the gastro, I just may not put Attikus on food. I don't know what I'm going to do if he has problems. He is still very tiny for his age, tall though. YEAH!

My niece is better, but my brother now has it. I'm staying clear of that family. Just keep them in your prayers still.
We are heading to the lake one last time. The girls are excited, and it let's them see their Great Grandparents.

Well I have 4 more weeks till we head to the World again. I'm not even prepared for this trip, but the girls are excited. I am too, just not READY! I haven't packed for 3 kids yet. My mom is finishing up their outfits for this trip. Even A.J. will have cute little Disney Rompers to wear. She is finishing this outfit as I'm typing right now. I'll have to get some pictures of the girls in their outfits.
They will be wearing this one when they eat with winnie the pooh. Brooklyn we need to talk to see where and if we can eat together in Feb. I told Cheryl she needed to come that week too. That would be so much fun. Let me know when you want to discuss some things about Feb. I have an idea, but you have to plan some of them in advance. Can you tell I'm excited about the trip. Got to have fun while I'm turning 30, ouch! I don't know if I'm ready for that. Actually, I think it's worse thinking of the kids birthday!
