Happy Birthday Joshua

Today my sweet boy is 8 years old. Wow has time flown by. It really seems like yesterday that he was just born.

Mardi Gras Fun

Its a little late but the kids where in our town parade two weeks ago for the Mardi Gras parade. They enjoyed it very much riding on the floats. Then last weekend we went to another parade where they had just as much fun.

I still dont get what all the hype is all about but people out here go crazy for Mardi Gras.

Dont you just love new appliances?

I sure do!! Aren't they pretty? It was so time for us to upgrade our *old* stuff and get some better. We a family of 5 where trying really hard to cram our stuff into our old small 14cft LITTLE frig. Now we have all this room and plenty of space awwwww!! Our washer was also going out so we upgraded and got us a new one too. Now I shouldnt have to complain anymore about the clothes not getting clean. I also shouldnt complain that I dont have room for food especially with a new frig, old frig and our other freezer. Hopefully I can keep up and keep them all stocked up!

Chuck E Cheese on a Saturday

Is NOT a good idea!! The kids had a birthday party to go to today at Chuck E Cheese and lets just say that it was a horriable!! Jason had to work so I had to take the kids by myself. We had to hike all the way to the door and then stand in line forever just to get inside to a party that was reserved. There was 500 people, 300 of them kids all running around in this little place. I didnt even get to see the birthday kid. The party was very rushed and I bet they payed a fortune for it. Emily ended up throwing up right before we where getting ready to leave. I am not sure if it was from the kiddy rides or the greasy pizza. Then the kids wanted to stand in line behind 20 people to cash in there big winnings (Joshua 26 tickets, Tyler 39 tickets) just so they could get a little airhead. I talked them in to just leaving and stopping at the liquor store for 2 candys paid for by mom. All in all I hope we never have to go back to Chuck E Cheese on a weekend again.

Nothing New Update

Not much is going on this month I suppose or nothing exciting I should say. The boys are back at school now. The weathers been crazy with a few warm days and then really cold days thrown in. We all have really bad colds right now that wont go away. Emily is still having her skin issues and its really depressing me not knowing whats going on. Shes starting to talk more which is really good. We love listening to her talk and tell us what she wants.

hmm lets see what else..... our neighbor got a horse so that means he gives the kids horse rides. Tyler and Emily love it and Joshua I dont think is sure yet if he likes it. Tyler's already asked for a horse for his birthday, sadly he will not be getting one LOL! The boys have also tried out there new fishing poles and love it. They have even already caught a few fish. I think thats about it on us.

Here is the birthday girl :)
