IT HAS BEEN SO LONG!!

SORRY, IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAVE UPDATED. SO MUCH HAS BEEN GOING ON. LAST WEDNESDAY WE WENT TO RUIDOSO TO WORK ON MOM AND DAD'S NEW HOUSE. IT IS GOING TO BE SO GREAT TO GO BACK AND ENJOY IT NEXT TIME. THIS TIME WAS ALL WORK! YOU CAN CLICK ON THE LINK TO PRATT AND HALLE'S BLOG TO SEE MORE. WHEN WE GOT BACK ON SUNDAY NIGHT I ALMOST WENT TO BED BEFORE I REALIZED GUS HAD SCHOOL ON MONDAY. IT WAS HARD FOR HIM TO GET USED TO GETTING UP AGAIN WITH THE TIME CHANGE AND A WEEK OF VACATION. WE ARE STILL ADJUSTING, PRAY THAT NEXT WEEK'S MORNINGS WILL GO BETTER. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE GOTTEN MUCH DONE THIS WEEK, BUT WE HAVE BEEN BUSY EVERYDAY. ON WEDNESDAY WE WENT TO GRUVER 3 TIMES, AND ON THURSDAY WE WENT TO SPEARMAN 3 TIMES. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST TO DRIVE THAT MANY MILES WITH GAS HIGH!! TODAY PRATT AND HALLE CAME OVER TO STAY WHILE HOLLY AND BUSTER WENT TO AMARILLO. PRATT AND SAGE PLAYED SO HARD. RIGHT KNOW GUS IS DRESSED UP AS A POLICEMAN AND SAGE IS A PRINCESS. I JUST HEARD HER SCREAMING AND HIM SAYING, BUT I HAD TO SHOOT YOU, YOU WERE DRIVING TOO FAST. THANK GOODNESS THE POLICEMEN AROUND HERE DON'T DO THAT!

I EMBARESS HIM?

WE WENT TO EAT PIZZA IN BORGER SUNDAY NIGHT. FAMILY FUN RIGHT!! WELL MY CARPEL TUNNEL HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME SINCE I PAINTED THE LIVING ROOM 2 WEEKS AGO, SO I HAVE BEEN WEARING MY BRACE. I MAINLY JUST WEAR IT AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT IS UGLY AND UNCOMFORTABLE. BUT SUNDAY I PUT IT ON AFTER CHURCH AND WORE IT ALL DAY. ANYWAY, WE GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE AND I TURNED AROUND TO TELL THE KIDS SOMETHING, AND GUS SAID, "YOUR NOT GOING TO WEAR THAT THING ON YOU ARM TO EAT PIZZA ARE YOU?" I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM ALREADY EMBARESSING HIM!! IT IS TOO EARLY!!

BIKE RIDER

GUESS WHO CAN RIDE THEIR BIKE WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS!!



HE TOOK OFF AND HAS NEVER LOOKED BACK. ONLY ONE BAD WRECK SO FAR!!

PRE K EASTER EGG HUNT

WE WENT TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY FOR THE EASTER EGG HUNT. IT WAS A NICE MORNING AND THE KIDS HAD FUN. SAGE GOT TO HUNT TOO. SHE IS NOT REALLY AGRESSIVE. IT WAS MORE ABOUT HOW CUTE SHE LOOKED. ENJOY THE PICTURES

FUTURE SWIMSUIT STYLES

I KNOW THIS PICTURE IS FUZZY, BUT IF YOU CAN TELL SAGE HAS STICKERS ON HER NIPPLES. SHE DID NOT HAVE CLOTHES ON FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON, AND THEN SHE GOT INTO THE STICKERS TO DECORATE HER EASTER EGGS. THE RESULTS WAS STICKERS ON HER NIPPLES. I HOPE SHE DOES NOT PLAN ON MAKING THIS A NEW STYLE.

EGG HUNTING PRACTICE, ETC.

WE HAVE ENJOYED 3 BEAUTIFUL DAYS IN A ROW. THANKS GOODNESS WE DID BECAUSE THEY SAY THE WIND IS GOING TO BLOW 50 MPH TOMORROW. YUCK!!


I TOOK SOME PICTURES TODAY, BECAUSE I HADN'T IN ABOUT A WEEK. THIS FIRST ONE IS OF SAGE'S MORNING HAIR. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS EVERY MORNING. THIS MORNING SHE SAID SHE WANTED TO WATCH TV. I TOLD HER SHE HAD TO GET HER HAIR BRUSHED, GET DRESSED AND EAT BREAKFAST FIRST. SHE CAME BACK IN A FEW MINUTES AND SAID I BRUSHED MY HAIR. SHE HAD DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THE PART SHE COULD SEE. THE PICTURE AT THE TOP WAS OF HER A FEW MINUTES LATER, WHEN SHE HAD PUT ON THE STATUE OF LIBERTY SUNGLASSES, AUNT GIGI BROUGHT BACK FROM NYC A FEW YEARS AGO. IT WAS TOO CUTE.

SOME FRIENDS CAME OVER THIS AFTERNOON TO PLAY, AND WE DECIDED TO PRACTICE EASTER EGG HUNTING SINCE GUS AND SAGE WILL BE DOING IT TOMORROW AT SCHOOL. GUS SAID HE DIDN'T NEED TO PRACTICE, BUT I WAS PRETTY SURE SAGE DID. IT WAS FUN. GUS GIFFORD CAME OVER TO PLAY TODAY. GUS HAS ONLY SEEN HIM A FEW TIMES, BUT HE THINKS IT IS AWESOME THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME. THEY ARE ONLY A MONTH APART AND THE SAME SIZE SO THEY HAD A GOOD TIME TOGETHER.

BIG BOY/BIG GIRL

I WAS TALKING TO HOLLY THIS MORNING, AND SHE SAID PRATT HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT HOW HE WAS A BIG GIRL LIKE SAGE. SAGE HAS ALSO BEEN TELLING ME SHE IS GOING TO BE A BIG BOY LIKE GUS. THANK GOODNESS GUS KNOWS WHAT HE IS!!

--THE BIG GIRL WAS BIG HELP TODAY--
I HAVE REALLY PRETTY DAFFODILS BEGINNING TO BLOOM IN THE FLOWER BED. SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE SO PRETTY, THAT SHE PICKED OFF ALL OF THE BLOOMS. SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM TO DUKE (THE DOG). HOPEFULLY A FREEZE WON'T GET THE REST OF THE BLOOMS, SO WE CAN ENJOY SOME OF THEM STILL IN THE FLOWERBED.

CUTE SAYINGS

JUST A FEW CUTE THINGS TO START OUT THE WEEK. WE HAVE HAD A BUSY WEEKEND! WE WENT TO TEXHOMA TO WATCH WILL PLAY BASKETBALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. THEN WE CAME HOME AND TOOK A MUCH NEEDED NAP SATURDAY AFTERNOON. SATURDAY NIGHT WE WENT TO EAT AND BOWLING WITH JANA AND JIM, CELIE, & LETTIE LOCKE. THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN. THIS MORNING CAME VERY EARLY SINCE THE TIME HAD CHANGED. WE WEREN'T READY FOR THAT. WE WENT TO CHURCH THIS MORNING AND THEN THE KIDS PLAYED WITH WYATT AND TATUM THIS AFTERNOON. I TOLD THEM SINCE THE TIME CHANGED WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO START GOING TO BED BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN.

ON TO THE FUNNY THINGS!
--FRIDAY NIGHT SAGE SLEPT IN THE SAME BED AS I DID IN TEXHOMA. SATURDAY MORNING WHEN WE WOKE UP, I ASKED HER HOW MUCH SHE LOVED ME AND SHE SAID "FASTER."
-- IF YOU REMEMBER A PREVIOUS POST WHEN I SAID GUS WAS A WALKING INFOMERCIAL, THIS BACKS UP THAT STORY. SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN WE WERE LEAVING BORGER WE DROVE BY A SUBWAY AND GUS AND JANA WERE TALKING ABOUT IT. GUS SAID, "NANA, DID YOU KNOW AT SUBWAY YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT."

HAVE A GOOD WEEK.
SAHALA

NEGLECTED!!

MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED THE PAST 3 DAYS. ON TUESDAY MORNING, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO PAINT MY LIVING ROOM. 3 DAYS AND 3 COLORS OF PAINT LATER IT IS DONE. I ACTUALLY PAINTED THE WALLS 4 TIMES IF YOU COUNT THE KILZ THAT I STARTED WITH. THE FIRST 2 COLORS WERE WAY WRONG, AND THE THIRD WAS PERFECT. THE GLAZE WENT ON FAST, AND I AM SO GLAD THAT IT IS DONE. I FINALLY GOT EVERYTHING PUT BACK IN PLACE AND LIKE THE RESULTS. THANKS TO MY FRIED SHELLEY FOR HELPING AND BRINGING SUPPLIES FROM TOWN. SAGE DIDN'T MIND BEING NEGLECTED TOO MUCH BECAUSE HER FRIEND TATUM GOT TO COME OUT AND PLAY. GUS IN THE TYPICAL KID; I WAS PUTTING THE FINAL PICTURES ON THE COMPUTER TO POST JUST KNOW AND HE SAID "WHOA MOM OUR WALLS LOOK REALLY DIRTY." I AM REALLY EXCITED SO, IF YOU THINK IT LOOKS DIRTY LIKE GUS I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!

BARNEY REMIX

AFTER GUS WENT TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING, I MADE SAGE OATMEAL AND GAVE HER A CUP OF JUICE. NOT EVEN PAYING ATTENTION, I PUT THEM IN A BLUE CUP AND BLUE BOWL. SHE WAS SO EXCITED BECAUSE WHEN GUS IS HERE HE ALWAYS DEMANDS BLUE EVERYTHING. SHE STARTED SINGING, "YOU GAVE ME BLUE, YOU LOVE ME, WE'RE A HAPPY FAMILY..." IT WAS SO SWEET.
