Poor sweet Tyler

Poor little guy is home from school today because he was up half the night with an ear ache. A quick trip to the doctors confirmed what I thought, he has an ear infection. I feel so bad for him, I hate it when my kids are sick. Jason is on his way to pick up his medicines for him right now because when i went to drop them off they said an hour for pick up and Tyler just wanted to go home. Heres my little guy sooooooo tired.

Parade Fun

We took the kids to a parade over the weekend which they had lots of fun at. I asked Jason what was the reason they where having a parade and he said just because every town around here does a parade every year. So here is some Mardi Gras parade pictures from the weekend.

Hello AGAIN!! I am back :)

Wow I cant believe its been a whole month since the last time I posted anything. I do have some good excuses though........ First and foremost the last few times I tried to get on here my computer hasn't liked me and would not let me log into here. I tried quite a few times and was just about to give up when it let me this morning YEAH! The family has been keeping me quite busy. I turned 28 two weeks ago and I cant quite believe it. I feel like the years are just flying by, maybe it just seems that way when you have kids? Both boys are loving every minute of school but come home with loads of home work and reading which keeps me very busy. I swear who knew second grade math could be so hard. The boys have been playing soccer too so between practices and games during the week and weekends there hasnt been much time. Emily is doing great but as of right now where dealing with some skin issues. We have been to the doctor several times and she has been on several different meds and creams for the last 6 weeks trying to figure this out. As of right now the current meds seem to be working so please keep your fingers crossed that it clears it up and it dont return. Fall is here and the weather is changing so my current chore is trying to switch out the summer clothes to fall clothes. I will try and get on here more often but for now I will leave some pictures of my little ones.

Sticker Monster

Beware: If you leave stickers out she will find them and she will put them somewhere/anywhere! Poor boys, they have learned the hard way!

Sad/Sick Kitty

Awww our poor sweet Bella is sick. Last week we took her to get fixed (which she was not happy about). Once we brought her home she looked fine and we just let her relax for the first few days. Well Monday when I woke up she was have a hard time breathing and was having 'kitty' sneezes and coughing. A quick couple calls to the vet and they said that sometimes when animals go under the knife they can develop a respitory infection. Jason went down and bought Bella her kitty meds. Once we got home I read the bottle and its amoxicillan, who knew that they got the same meds that we get when we are sick. Where on day 4 of the meds and they seem to be working. Shes not breathing bad anymore but shes still has a little cough and sneeze. She finally started eating more too which is so good.

Chilli's Anyone?

Every year in August/September we buy these chilli's when they are in season. They come from New Mexico and they are so good. This year we bought 30 pounds worth, which should last us at least 6-8 months. If you need some chilli you know where to come! After all was said and done we ended up with 150 chilli's in the freezer, not bad!

Here is what we spent our day doing. First here are the chilli's.
Soaking in water.

On the grill.

After they are all cooked.In baggies ready for the freezer.

We survived :)

Hurricane Gustav has come and gone and I could not be happier! On September 1st we had a visit from him in which we got LOTS of wind and rain. Once he was gone we where left with no power for 5 1/2 days. Let me first say that it is not very fun being without power and its even harder when you have three kids who love to have power for there games and tv. We had several trees fall all around the house. Our cable line fell and then was ripped off by some nice truck driving down our street. Where not sure when they will be able to come out and repair it so for now we have no cable/internet or phone. We lived for 5 days out of an ice chest and could not be anymore happier then when the power came on. Heres some pictures of what hurricane Gustav left behind.
