Christmas Pictures
We had our pictures made Saturday before last, dec 1st. Even with Austin under the weather we still got some really good shots, she took over 250 pics. Adam and I agreed that we thought this was our (Adam and I) best pics in a long time, but the kids have done better before (besides Alexis). It was hard to get all 3 kids to look at the camera at the same time. here are some shots to look at, you will see more later too
ahh sickness
These past two weeks have been CRAZY! all three kids were sick.
lets recap shall we
last Friday Austin started with the sniffles and a low grade fever, Madison and Alexis also started with the congestion.
Saturday Austin was looking pitiful when he did not have medication in his system. he was sneezing, coughing, running nose all the time.
Sunday they all three had it. only Austin had a fever higher than 99.
Then Monday! I needed to take them for flu shots Alexis needed her second round so i was going to get the other two's done that day. So i called and got three appointments at 1:45, 2:00 and 2:45p because Alexis woke up with a 102 fever.
We get there and they check out Austin first, he had one ear infection and that's all. Madison NOTHING only a head cold. Now to Alexis, poor baby had two BAD ear infections and upper respiratory infection. So we got a prescription for an antibiotic, and breathing treatment meds. Austin got an antibiotic.
Oh and Alexis weighs 15 lbs 8 oz, Madison 30lbs, Austin 33lbs.
so we go home
Thursday comes Alexis's fever still has not gone away. the other two are doing better. so I call the dr we get an apt to come in.
Alexis has one ear infection gone and one that is still BAD and she is sounds really bad, so they decide that she needs a stronger antibiotic via a shot and now have diagnosed her with pneumonia. We also have to come back tomorrow for another shot of the antibiotic shot and let them listen to her.
Friday back to dr for shot of antibiotic and a steroid shot.
Come back Saturday to listen to her.
We go back sat but waited a little bit but it was a long wait and we left because she was sounding better.
Only issue is that she was throwing up her solid foods when she would cough hard to get the phlem up. so Friday night she threw up at night, Saturday threw up at night, Sunday at night, and Monday night.
finally Tuesday she started getting better, only has a small cough.
PLus on top of this she just cut three teeth at one time!! Poor child!
I hope this is the last cold we have for the winter!

Thanksgiving
I forgot to post about our Thanksgiving. We stayed here (even though we wanted to go to GA too) but with money shortages and gas prices it was too hard plus we wanted to spend it with Meemaw too.
We had my mom, Jared, his parents and Matt over. Mom cooked turkey,Gravy, dressing, cake, cole slaw, and green beans. I made a ham, mash potatoes, mac and cheese, rolls, pie,deviled eggs, and squash casserole (first time ever and it was great!). It was a good day.
after our meal we went to visit Meemaw. After meemaw I stopped by to see daddy and pat. It was fun! the kids are finally not shy with him and I love that! Alexis will sit with him too.
I went Xmas shopping the day after on Black Friday at 3AM! I went Kohl's, Target, Belks, the mall, Gymboree, Carters, the children's place, toys r us.
I only got 2 or 3 things. I got a great deal on our xmas outfits. all three kids for 60 dollars! i was shocked! i got some shopping for my mom she did not go so i picked up stuff for her.

We had our xmas pics done at the Gaylord on Saturday. We got 250 plus pics taken. I know there are going to be some real cute pics there. Even though Austin was in the beginning of being sick, between him yawning, sneezing, coughing and not looking i know we were bound to get a couple good ones. Alexis did great!
after we went to cracker barrel for lunch/dinner.
Pics to come!

Yeah for Santa! and MORE
Friday I had a big day planned.
We started with our 6 mo check up at the dentist. It went well, even Austin did good for him!
We then head to the Jump Zone for a play date with a moms group we are in. WE had a BLAST! the slides were so fast!!
Afterwards we head to the Mall to get my car aligned. So while waiting we ate lunch, looked around, shopped and SAW Santa!
Oh Santa baby!
The twins sat on his lap with no issues and told him what they wanted and all! I was testing them for Saturday because we have breakfast with Santa for POTATO.
We leave head to Snip its for our hair cuts! Even Austin did ok for him!
Madison got the best CUT ever! She looks so much older and her hair looks like it is 10 times thicker than before. Reason is her hair was so dead on top you could see through it (now we have had reg cuts but not by the right person) so she cut some length off so we could get it to grow thick and long and healthy. SO she got a cute little bob and even bows stay in !!!! I will post a pic soon!
then we stopped at Nana's to show off and I met daddy there.
I then we to shop for an outfit for pics and Adams work xmas party.

More Car Woes!
Yes again my VAN! now after having new tires, a 100 point serious inspection from Nissan a month ago or less...this happens
I went Friday to get an alignment (free) at sears and they say there is no point in doing it because i have a right front outer tire rod that is BAD! on top of that the only place you can get the part is from Nissan. You can not buy it only mechanics places can buy them. SO it will cost over 200 for Nissan to do it! This is a safety thing! What if i never would have went to get this alignment how would i have known, Nissan said my van was good!
Plus my power driver window is bad AGAIN! even worse! 90 plus tax to RESET the motor, not replace! GRRR I have only done this 2 times before!
So we are exploring options of getting the Honda Odyssey now vs later.
Our thing is if we fix this what is next??

happenings...
Well I know it has been a little while since I have updated. I will post several post as they deserve a separate post.
Madison is doing great 99 percent of the time in going potty.
Austin still has no care to when you ask him to go he will say "i went potty last night" or "I have elmo diappy on"
Alexis is tolerating her belly a little better. I believe she is gaining weight a lot now. We will see when we go back for our second Flu shot.
We will close on our home (refinance) dec 5th or 7th. AMEN!
Madison said to Austin yesterday as she laid on the couch with her pillow, "Austin, Do me a favor"
Austin: "what sissy"
Madison: "Can you please get my doll of the counter in the kitchen?"
Austin: "Sure sissy"
it was so funny!
In the car the other day We started singing the muffin man and all of a sudden Austin started quoting shrek "Do you know the Muffin Man?, the Muffin man, yes the Muffin man"
We put up our Christmas tree. The kids still are so excited about it!

Updates
We are still doing so well with potty training. She is going everything in the potty 98 percent of the time.
Austin can draw a spider, all on his own I do not know how he knew how to because it is not one of the things he asks us to draw all the time. but i need to take pics of it because it is so CUTE!
Nana got them both guitars could not find a "boy" piano at this time.
We went to the Discovery center last saturday and saw the new area they built onto the exsisting building we had so much fun there. Austin loved the extra extra LARGE train table. Madison loved the grocery store!
We are refinancing our home so some light in the money area coming THANK you LORD!
We are now doing thier bday party at Steve's Fantastic Fun Zone in M'boro. Because Dec 15th is booked at the discovery center. It costs a tad more but way less than others.
Alexis is loving all her new foods she is getting! She still does not like her tummy time.

Misc that has been going on
Today we went to costco, and wild oats for some veggies.
Madison is doing so well with no accidents! Although we have to take our potty with us everywhere we go...LOL
Madison is telling Nana she wants a Guitar today and Austin he was a Pino(piano).
Austin is into his Taggy Blanket that meemaw made for him when he was a baby. I gave it back to him when i noticed he was playing with the tag on his shrek blanket he slept with and was asking for it.
We are in a financial (well some what Crisis) I have no kids right now! The little boy i have watched for almost 2 years his dad quit his job and is staying home at the moment. the 2 girls we were watching the moms job asked her to go PT from 5-9pm temporally so no need for childcare. I was going to wait tables only a couple night a week through the holidays for extra money for xmas but now if i get hired i will be working more than 2 nights until i get more kids or Adam gets a better job. I got a job offer for a full time job during the day but even having my friend giving me a great child care discount i would just about only make what i was keeping 2 kids a month. so it is not worth it plus Alexis screams with others!! My mom would but she has to stay and take care of meemaw right now.
Come Jan. the twins may be in school (free) if we get in. It will be Monday-Friday from 8:45 to 12:45p I will have to go pick them up and drop them off.
This is not good considering the twins bday is coming and Christmas.
Adams interviewing for jobs is still going.. he has been told he is over qualified several times, over confidant, or they are not paying enough. he is waiting to hear from several. So pray for that!
Austin can draw a smiley face!!
Last Sat we did grocery shopping and Sams shopping (we have not been in FOREVER ...NO MONEY)
Alexis is almost sitting up on her own, but we have some more to work on to get there.
Its getting Cold now!!
We plan on going to GA the weekend after Thanksgiving (if we have Money)
I think that is all.

9 month Check up
We went Tuesday to Alexis's 9 month check up (a little early). She only weighed 14lbs and 11 oz and 26 in. She is small like Madison but she has the chunky rolls. The dr could not believe she was that small after looking at her Rolls!! She is eating good. But since she is breastfed exclusively she said that breast milk's fat content drops between 6 mo and 9 mo so she needs whole milk in her diet like yogurt (which I give her) but she wants it once a day. Also give her milk in her oatmeal and give her Mac n cheese, butter and such. She checked her iron level and it was great. so no need for vitamins. She also said to cont giving her the iron oatmeal twice a day even if it is mixed in the fruits. She also said that the fruits and veggies she as eating does not have a lot a fat that is why she needs the stuff with milk in it. of course cont breastfeeding because it is still the best for her and her primary food source. She was not too concerned with the weight yet. she is short like her mom and well family! Thanks Mom and Dad!! As far as developmental milestones, she said she seems to be a very content baby to just lay, or sit. She is she has no care to roll around to get other places. She likes playing with her toys and watching the others. Also she said the third child tends to get shuffled around either off the floor out of the line of fire of others (the twins!) and sitting in bouncys, exersaucers, bumbos, swings, or on someones lap. And this so true! Plus she HATES her belly. We give her tummy time but she Hates it after like 10 min or less. So I will most likely get her evaluated by TEIS to give her extra boosts, plus cont her tummy time. The dr said i can call TEIS if i want but she thinks in the next few weeks I will see a change.
She got her first part of the FLU shot and the 3rd polio shot. I asked about themosol in the shots and she said that they pay more for the separated thermosol free ones so that no parent will turn down a flu shot or any shot. I was happy to hear that. We go back in one month for second part and to get the Twins flu shot.
I will add her 9 mo pic here soon!

Carters Party and Visit to Meemaw
We went to Carter's Birthday party sat 27th. We had fun! Aunt Lenis (Carters Nana) rented a bouncy thing. Weather was great! The kids had fun jumping. Madison stayed in her panties and Dry all the way there in the car! and on the way home!
She pottyed there and was AWESOME!
We went to see Meemaw after. The kids were so happy to see her and Alexis sat with meemaw a while. In the pics it looks like Meemaw is asleep but I had to use the flash and she blinked every time!
I took my mini books i made about her for her to answer some questions. I had fun with that!
After meemaws we picked up my dad and went to eat Mexican for dinner. the kids did great with him. Which I know made him smile and happy. because they usually are shy and do not talk or go up to him

Halloween Hoedown 2007
We had our annual church Hoedown. We had fun! It was Sunday 28th. here are some pics!We were hyped up on cotton candy, popcorn,and candy
Halloween things!
We had a good Halloween. That Wednesday was so BUSY. We started our morning at Opry Mill Mall with some twins club members for a stroll through the mall in our costumes before the mall opened and then lunch at Rain Forest Cafe for 99 cent kids meals! We had fun. Madison was a little scared that the Monkey above our table was going to take her balloon, she was crying and all! I had to attach it to Alexis's stroller so she would be ok.
After we left there we went to Adam's work to show off our costumes and of course ended up trick or treating around the office since everyone there and candy from their party they had earlier.
After that we went to the Murfreeboro Square for trick or treating on the square. IT WAS PACKED! we had already had a bag full from Adams work so we added more there. Lots of fun!
We went home took pics in the yard in our costumes. We ate a snack. Daddy came home and then Nana and pawpaw came over to go trick or treating with us in the neighborhood. We went on several streets. The kids were so cute saying trick or treat and thank you. Madison was chatting with everyone telling them she was Sleeping beauty and of course getting more more candy. Austin got his and was ready for the next house leaving Madison behind a lot...LOL. Alexis slept in the stroller. we waited for her.
After we went to eat at chick fila for dinner.
Here are some pics!
Madison is Sleeping Beauty, Austin is a Pirate, and Alexis is a Fairy

Still going strong
The potty training with Madison is still going good. The only accidents we have now is Poopy ones but it is wierd because that was the first thing she could reconize to go in the potty before she ever did the pee. So hopefully she will be getting better at it. After that we can work on night time and nap time. She is so proud of herself!

One almost down!
Madison is almost POTTY trained! She has been so GOOD. She has been some what ready for sometime here and there. It was not until she saw the new kids i started watching who is about 2 weeks older than her and she is potty trained except naps. So Madison wanted to be in Panties too!
We made a special trip just me and her to the store to get Big Girl "Princess" Panties and she saw the Hello Kitty "pink" ones and we got those.
day one: 1 accident
day two: 1 accident
day 3: (mostly in diapers since we were at the dealership) but no accidents!
If she has an accident it is mostly because she gets in a hurry and does not pull her panties down and just sits on the potty with them up.
She has pooped and peed!!!
She will also will just go on her own without you telling her to as well! You have to ask her most of the time to go.
She wants them on at nap but right now no...But she is dry during nap time!
Now Austin, he has no care, he will clap, cheer madison on, ask her if she needs to go potty, tell her to pull down her panties first, tell her "good job sissy you go pee pee in the potty"
But you ask him he says "tomorrow morning" everytime!
So we will get madison first!

MY VAN!
Oh so many of you know my issues with my van. Well I have had it!
background: I have an 2005 Nissan Quest. I got it NEW in 05. We have had so many many problems, I have pursued the Lemon law, Nissan, BBB Autoline. you name it! The first chance I get to get out of it in a way that i am happy with I am going to get rid of it and get back into a HONDA! (Odyssey).
My new issue is I had a check engine light come one and i took to Auto Zone and it was the Catalytic Converter! (cost about 1500 it is Welded on) So I called Nissan hoping it was covered under the the longer warranty that the 36k one. THANK GOD it was covered under the 80k/8 year because of emissions. If i was going to have to pay i would get rid of it! So i take 4 kids to a dealership to get it LOOKED at. only to have to come back after they order the part.
I get a call and schedule a service apt for today at 10:30am. Since i only had my 3 today. I get there a little after 10:30 they are putting me in a rental since it will be 24 hours to repair. I reminded the guy that i will have 3 kids with me and 3 carseats to transfer so the vehicle must be big enough. I get there and the rental co they have there on hand in the dealership offers me the only car he has a CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK! Are you kidding me a TRUCK! 3 kids ! Carseats!
I said oh no! So then he brings a Dodge Durango, ok this may work it has 3 rows. I get all kids out ready to switch car seats in the other. NOPE! the American made car that it is the back seats seat belt system does not lock unless on impact or breaking hard! and no LATCH system in the 3rd row. AND the infant seat can not go in the rear at all. ok so we try all 3 in the 2nd row, wont fit. the tether system is missing the plate it is needed for the 3rd row!
You still with me!
Kids are hungry, flipping every switch in the cars, going crazy, Alexis is crying hungry. it is past time to eat. I am hungry! HOT! So i give up take all of them inside in the kiddy room (well what they call kiddy room) feed Alexis. I called Adam and he is trying to tell me it will work he is looking online at the manual, i looked at too and the car! So I get him to come there and help! FINALLY I show him it wont he shows the dealer and the rental guy. So they some how magically get a Pathfinder. i know it will work it has 3 rows, its not an American car. YES IT WORKS!
now it is 2:20 and we leave!
I go get food to take home to eat and get them down for a nap! NOPE! more Drama!
I have no house key (at the dealer with my keys), No garage opener same as keys! Now i am locked out! My mom has one but she is at my grandmothers house!
I take the kids to my Friends house to eat and then we are going to go get Adam's key. Well we leave her House at 4:30, so Adam leaves in an hour. So i drive around to kill time let them sleep in the car. 6:30 I am in my house!
This all would not happen if i had a HONDA!

If i was going to have to pay i would get rid of it! So i take 4 kids to a dealership to get it LOOKED at. only to have to come back after they order the part.
I get a call and schedule a service apt for today at 10:30am. Since i only had my 3 today. I get there a little after 10:30 they are putting me in a rental since it will be 24 hours to repair. I reminded the guy that i will have 3 kids with me and 3 carseats to transfer so the vehicle must be big enough. I get there and the rental co they have there on hand in the dealership offers me the only car he has a CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK! Are you kidding me a TRUCK! 3 kids ! Carseats!
I said oh no! So then he brings a Dodge Durango, ok this may work it has 3 rows. I get all kids out ready to switch car seats in the other. NOPE! the American made car that it is the back seats seat belt system does not lock unless on impact or breaking hard! and no LATCH system in the 3rd row. AND the infant seat can not go in the rear at all. ok so we try all 3 in the 2nd row, wont fit. the tether system is missing the plate it is needed for the 3rd row!
You still with me!
Kids are hungry, flipping every switch in the cars, going crazy, Alexis is crying hungry. it is past time to eat. I am hungry! HOT! So i give up take all of them inside in the kiddy room (well what they call kiddy room) feed Alexis. I called Adam and he is trying to tell me it will work he is looking online at the manual, i looked at too and the car! So I get him to come there and help! FINALLY I show him it wont he shows the dealer and the rental guy. So they some how magically get a Pathfinder. i know it will work it has 3 rows, its not an American car. YES IT WORKS!
now it is 2:20 and we leave!
I go get food to take home to eat and get them down for a nap! NOPE! more Drama!
I have no house key (at the dealer with my keys), No garage opener same as keys! Now i am locked out! My mom has one but she is at my grandmothers house!
I take the kids to my Friends house to eat and then we are going to go get Adam's key. Well we leave her House at 4:30, so Adam leaves in an hour. So i drive around to kill time let them sleep in the car. 6:30 I am in my house!
This all would not happen if i had a HONDA!
