More pics to come~

WOW

I am so sorry I have been MIA! I will recap the last 2 months after I get my Pics uploaded tonight!

First Soccer Game

We had our first soccer game Saturday and it was so cute to watch. I think they thought it was just going to be like practice except in uniform! LOL After getting used to it they started picking up on it. we won 8-0! Only because we have an older kid (almost 6 he missed cut off for 6yr old team by a month) and his mom is a pro soccer/college player. he scored 7 out 8 goals and only played half the game.

Austin gets frustrated that he cant get the ball to kick it in the net. The other kid is always with the ball. But you cant take his glory from him either.

Austin is a left footed kicker and the coach wants us to keep encouraging that and says he has a Strong kick with that left foot.
We have thought for a while now he was left handed, but he will still flip flop when writing.
madison is her crazy leg self kicking, soccer will not be her strong point...LOL but she gives it her 110%!~

Alexis's progress

We have a successful surgery for her Tubes Wednesday. She did great only thing she did was get sick after waking up and drinking to get ready to go home. it was a very fast procedure. It took longer for pre op on Monday and registration on wed that the procedure and recovery.

We have already started seeing progress. you can tell she is hearing things differently from the way she reacts to things.

She will mock you now. she said diaper today, momma is clearer, she says bubba.
She is walking BETTER! Balance is BETTER!

Alexis, Poor baby

My baby is getting Ear tubes April 1st at 12p she has to be there at 9a. She has pre Op on the 30th. I hope this will help her in the way she needs it. I am so tired of her feeling bad, plus we think her ears are a part of her balance issue and her speech issue.
I hate we have to do this but I know she needs it. Please just pray all goes well and that this will help her!

I can not believe that My baby girl is 2! I am a little late posting this but anyway. she turned 2 on the 18th.
We are having a "wow wow Wubzy party" Sunday.
We did a little thing here Thursday at the house, we had cupcakes a dinner. We went to Birthday lunch with daddy since i was suppose to work that night but I was an extra so I did not go in plus my stomach was a little upset as well so it worked out.

I will post recent pics after the party on Sunday!

We gave her one of her presents tonight as it came by UPS today. She loves these buckets that Ms Kim has and so we found a set online and got them for her. She was so happy with them!

I think that is all for now. I got a lot done this weekend with the great weather!

A new Day

After I posted my other post I want to clarify a few things.

First of all if anyone wants to know if I was talking about one group of people in general or one person in general, please just email me or call me and ask like a big person!

I was talking about a lot of different people in my life now and in the past. I was just frustrated and PMSing and wanted to "Vent".

I feel that the real thing to do is just Pray for those people. Pray that they will one day realize there is only one Judge at that is God. Pray that they will eventually start treating those as they want to be treated.

We are all adults and all I ask is if you want to know what or who I am talking about please ask me before talking about it to other people or having others do the dirty work for you. I am an adult and I can handle a conversation about it if I am approached.

There is not a person on this earth that I hate or can not forgive. I may not like your actions or how you handle yourself but I will never do anything to be cruel to a person or intentionally hurt someone. that is just not who I am. If I have ever offended or hurt you please come to me and talk to me about it. If I have I will apologize for it.

Frusterated!

Either its just that time of month that is making me so frustrated easier or its totally the situation.

I can not name names nor the actual situation but i will go around about it. This is my personal blog to write what I want right?

There is a situation that has just come up that has me so over the "volunteering", non paid position i hold!

I can not STAND a controlling person when I am hired or appointed to do a job! just let me do the job i was asked or hired to do with out someone telling me EXACTLY what words to use or actions to take.
If you want to control that bad do the job yourself!

Another thing I can not take is CADDY women and "Cliques".

I try to get along with everyone, but when I try to talk to certain people even though some of them I may not be "BFF's" with they ask as if I am not as good as they are, or like they are too good to have a civil conversation with me or someone that is not in their little "snob" clique.

I am sorry if I don't dress in designer clothes (i don't like buying clothes for me I am a plain jane jeans and tshirt gal), or I don't drive a "luxury" vehicle, wear loads of makeup, make my hair all "foo fooey", or talk your talk.

I am a down to earth person who does dress my kids in NICE clothes, drives a Mini van, will do anything for a friend, "plain jane", I don't like to wear makeup, but I am a good friend!

I hate phoney people, 2faced, gossiping caddy women!

when I have an idea or thought these "women" brush it off but when the "cliquey" ones say the same idea it is all of a sudden a MAGICAL best idea they have ever heard!

I am sorry but MY FAMILY comes first! I will put them before anyone or anything!

I am thankful for those friends I do have that understand this crazy post! you know who you are! I will DO anything for a loyal friend!

Writing this makes me so emotional because I feel I have never befriended anyone, I have never not talked to someone or acted stuck up because the other person has less money, drives a different vehicle than me, or is just different than I am.

This is what's wrong with some of the kids these days is that some adults are too quick to "judge" the outside before looking inside of the person or even trying to get to know the person first!

Belated Christmas update and pics!

We had a great Christmas. The twins really understand it all. They loved turning on the lights each day and unplugging them. they even cried when we had to take the tree down.
they understand why we have Christmas! AMAZING!

Christmas eve we went to Church that night came home put our Christmas cookies and milk out. they sprinkled reindeer food in the yard.
Christmas Morning we woke up. Nana and Pawpaw came over brought the gifts.
When Madison opened her Nintendo DS she screamed "A DS" she and Austin were so excited with them.
Madison opened her American girl Bity baby and was so excited she said "A BABY!" and loved the stroller too!
Austin loved his Batman Cave and super man game for the V motion.
He also loved his Vtech digital art studio.
The other Fave is the COOL SCHOOL! that thing is so cool, now we have to get another one!

Alexis did not want to open anything at first. finally she did she got a shopping cart, stroller with baby, ride on pony.

We later left and went to my dad's side for xmas lunch there. kids had fun playing. after that went to xmas with Poppy, and my aunts xmas. such fun playing!

The next day we got up and left for GA, for xmas there. we did not return until Monday evening.
The twins got clothes, pianos, laptop (play ones), Madison got earrings and Austin got a Cars racetrack, a little electronic drum set thing, movies, art stuff, games, DVD games, pirate stuff, princess stuff.
Of course all got money too.

Alexis got stuffed animals (which she does not like things fuzzy, OT is working on that), clothes, a ride on toy, Books, music toy, and music CD.

If i forgot something which I am sure I did with all the stuff we got.

nana also got the twins these talking things like Furbys but different. they got PJ's from Tta/Caroline. Aunt lenis got them a marker set and art pads. Amy/tj got them a barbie and something cars (can not remember). Alexis got a Movie. they also got some other stuff like cars, princess stuff.

Adam got GA shirt, Mug from me. From his family side he got a GA wind sock for outside, tools, hand sander, gym pants, money, and a grill set.

I got Money, a griddle (for pancakes and what not), a steam mop!!!

She is walking!!

Finally my stubborn one is Walking! after Christmas she would walk about 5 feet. then during PT on one Thursday she would do about 10 ft, well the next Monday she just took off and I called to tell Adam that all morning she has not crawled she was walking all over the play room! that wed she started opening and closing doors! PT came that Thursday and was amazed that she started walking everywhere, even though her arms were up high but she was walking. She even walked backwards 5 steps for the PT and she turns around, walks in a circle, carries items while walking. such an amazing turn around in a short time! you just could not make her do it she had to do it on her own time. I will post a pic soon.

I am back!

I feel like it has been forever since i have posted on here.
again I will give a little update here and those that need thier own seperate post I will do so.

Right now we are dealing with lots of illness! First alexis at the beginning of Jan gets a double ear infection and croup!
then Jan 16th the twins had a 4 year check up. She checked alexis to be sure she had gotten better. even though the night before we had a high temp. she was fine there! Madison had some fluid on her rt ear saw during her ear test, it was clear so she siad just watch for temp and she would call in a med if need be.

Saturday night she gets HIGH temps and ends up in our bed with a 104 temp I called the dr and he said come in Monday.
Monday we go in and she has an ear infection.
Tuesday Madison Starts her temp, i wait until wed to call the dr to make sure in fact she was keeping the temp. so they say call back thursday when dr willams is in and they will get the med. well Wed night madison is up with a 105 temp and it took me forever to get it down to 102! finally we are at 100. now Austin also has a temp of 102-103. Thwey both are complianing of throat hurts, head hurts. So i just call thursday AM and get an apt.
the nurse calls me back to tell me to bring Alexis to see if the meds were working. if not they would do a rocefin(sp?) shot.

We get there Madison has a 102 temp, austin none, alexis none.
Strep swab and flu swap on twins. Dr comes in checks ears on alexis both ears are yucky she says! great now we get the shot!
Austin ears ,throat great, and the flu nad strep negative. so he just has a viral cough, the crud!
Madison has a flaming ear infection on the Rt side! as we knew. she had neg strep and flu. her throat looks fine. so just ear infection.

alexis gets her shot and we have to come back Friday (tomorrow) and sat for the rest of the shot process.
if she gets another back to back ear infection after this we will have to be considerd for Tubes.

We are 4!

We had a Bounce U birthday party on their actual birthday this year Dec 20. They had so much fun! Madison wanted a Mermaid Birthday cake and Austin wanted Pirate cake. We did cupcake pull apart cakes.

The Bucs Game in Atlanta

We got the chance to get great tickets in JULY to see the Bucs play in Atlanta against the Falcons. It was a crucial game and unfortunately we did not win in Overtime! 10-13! We were short our starter QB and some other players. Despite the loss we had a blast!

BEFORE the game we went to a tailgating party that Adam heard about online sponsored by ATLBUCS.COM. it was a GREAT tailgating party. We had free food sponsored by the Ale house in Alpharetta. we had fried turkeys, hamburgers, hot dogs, Cubans, beer, water, chips and cake! it was great!
But guess who showed up at our PARTY!! MIKE ALSTOTT he was so nice and Much hotter in person than on the field! LOL

he signed Adam's jersey and I got my pic with him!

Breakfast with Santa

We had the annual breakfast with Santa with our POTATO (twins Group) friends.

Alexis is so not fond of strangers or people she does not see everyday anyway, much less things in Costume or men with facial hair!
She freaked out! We had to later trick her into sitting on the bench later and then Santa snuck around behind her and we took the pic before she realized he was behind her.

also Rudolph showed up too. Unfortunately my camera was in Manual mode and Adam forgot when he was snapping the pic with the Rudolph so its a little blurry.

The twins will be 4!!

Since they are turning 4 Saturday I thought I would write here some things that they are doing and document some things they have said to me that have made me laugh or realize how grown up they are getting.

Austin: He is getting much better (behavior) and coming out of those horrible 3's. he Loves to draw, color, pretend, loves gymnastics. he says he has a girlfriend, it is this little girl at Gymnastics named Morgan. He has a great memory! He can draw all kinds of things, he can write a lot of the letters, numbers, he recognizes all the letters, numbers, colors, shapes (even hard ones!).
He loves to show his muscles to you. He will randomly tell you he loves you and give you a kiss or hug. he does not like to cuddle like Madison does.

he says he wants a skateboard from Santa (but he is not...no ER bills here) he also wants cars, trains
here are some things he has said recently



Mom: Hurry get in the Car, its sleeting Ice is falling on us.
Austin: ok i will I don't want to turn in to a Popsicle.
Mom: yup that rights no Popsicles.

Austin: mom what does purple make?
mom: what do you mean?
Austin: how do you make purple?
Mom: red and blue make purple
austin: and orange?
Mom: red and yellow
Austin: Yellow?
mOm: yellow
Austin: i can't make orange because I can't make yellow .

Madison: I want lots of babies for xmas
austin: no sissy you cant have lots of babies only one baby because lots of babies makes a mess!



madison:
she is my little drama queen, attitude. but is a very sweet "little mommy", big helper.
She loves her babies and has only asked Santa for a baby doll and a stroller.
She loves dance! Princesses are still the thing.
She is not a big of a artist that Austin is but she can write letters, numbers, she colors in the lines, she can recognize colors, shapes, letters, numbers.
She is a very loving and sweet child, loves kisses, hugs and to cuddle with you.
Oh she wants to be a Dr so she can take care of Nana and Pawpaw Dodge!

Sharing is getting better, the whining is a little better. The stuff they are learning about God, Jesus and the Bible in school and church is amazing!

I know there are a ton of more things they are saying and doing but it is hard to think of it all. this is why i like to update more often...LOL

Has it really been that long

I did not realize until tonight that I had not posted a post in DECEMBER!! that is how crazy this month has been! I will do a catch up post and hopefully get a couple more in this month.


We went to GA for thanksgiving. Will show some pics.

Adam and I went to Atlanta last weekend to see the Bucs play Atlanta. We stayed with his aunt Cindy and My mom keep the kids at my house sat night and sunday. We also picked up loft bunkbeds that Cindy, oh so graciouly gave us! Thank you a million cindy!!
I will do a seperate post of the game details since i have pics to go with that. We got there last Sat night and left sunday evening.

Before leaving for Atlanta we we to Whitney's (my cousins) birthday party.
That friday the twins woke up throwing up. only friday thats it, then just would not eat well until Monday. Well then Tuesday night Madison's Eye was bloodshot looking. but thats it. She went to school tuesday and then I got called so I took her to the Dr and she has an ear infection and pink eye (which was caused by the viral stomach bug she had) then the eye caused ear infection. Fun stuff! So far austin is fine.

Alexis signs eat, please, more, milk, want, all done and says mama, dada, nana, outside, hot, ava. she kinda says thank you, ho ho ho. She is so close to walking by herself. she needs to just let go!
She climbs a lot. She loves Wow Wow Wubzy and yo gabba gabba.

We have the twins birthday party coming up on Saturday. Wow I can not believe they will be 4 ! holy Cow! We are having it at the bouncy place in Murfreesboro. Bounce U. That morning we will see Miss Pattycake at church! so exciting!!!!

We are going to Ga for Xmas the day after Xmas day.

walking....

Alexis is almost walking. Of course she wanted to do it on her own and not you "trying" to get her to.
On Saturday she was sitting in this booster seat in the living room that Lori brought over and she just stood up and took 4 steps right there.
She now is trying so hard to walk, the PT was so amazed that in less than a week what she has accomplished.

She also has said "mama" on last Thursday. She will also snap her fingers while dancing!! so cute!

She also started clicking her tongue which is so good for her speech!

I am so excited at all the progress she is making!

I hope she is fully walking by Christmas!

Oh and I never knew how much of a thumb sucker she is until watching her at school today she kept going for her thumb in between activities and such. now i see her do it all the time!
