a quick update

well let me start off my saying that Iam sorry that it has been two months since I have posted. I have been very busy. Life if great and the kids are doing wonderful. I took Brandon to try out lil kickers yesterday and he did not want anything to do with that so we left and came back home and just hung around until we had to leave to go Assasteague to get our family pics done and I learned something new while we were there Brandon is afraid of the Ocean. That shocked me because that lil boy of mine LOVES the water. Here is the website to go to see a sneak peek at the photo session and leave a comment while you are there please. www.bluebugphotography.com and you want to view her blog and we are the first posting there. Well Iam sitting here doing nothing but listening to CMT and once everyone gets up it will be time to get things done around here. Sunday morning is the only morning that I cook a huge breakfast so I will be doing that and since it is supposed to be nice here today we are going to take the kids to the zoo and Brandon fishing for what will probably the one last time for this year because Fall is right around the corner. I will try to post on a weekly basis from now on I promise:)

bits and pieces

well I really don't have much news. But things are good no make them great... Brandon's speech is improving a little w/ the help from us and Haleigh is walking all over the place and I love watching her walk around. As for our pet family that has grown a little bit we have a beta fish, two cats, two hamster and two turtles. My dad is doing great also and so are Kim and Keith and Ryan, Ryan is quiet the racer Iam hoping to go and see him race this coming Friday night if I have a sitter for the kids. Oh and Ryan made the honor roll !!!! I can't believe that summer is almost over and the kids will be going to school soon and before you know it Christmas will be here and I know that this year is going to be fun b/c Brandon loves opening presents and Haleigh will be almost two years old so this Christmas will be alot of fun. I know that it is a long way off still but I can't wait for it to get here.

Brandon's three year well-check and Haleigh's ear recheck

He did great and he is one healthy boy and for now his Iron levels are good. So the bad news his speech is a little delayed which I knew it was so he will be getting some speech therapy and he has to go see an audiologist. So once he starts speaking more clearly and pronouncing the words correctly I will feel better and I know that I made the right decison here. I hope that the therapy will be fun for him and Iam going to do some fun things at home for him as well. As for Haleigh her ears look great so no tubes for now and we will just hope for the best there that she does not get any more ear infections.

Sorry that I have not posted anything in a while but life has been hectic as usual. Brandon is doing great and he started VBS this week at Allen Memorial Baptist Church. I have been working and making sure that things get done around the house. Iam applying for the GNA?CNA program through Genesis Elder Care. Iam hoping that I get accepted for one it is more money than what Iam currently making and two they have tution assistance for that way I can go back to school and get my nursing degree. As for Haleigh is still having some issues with walking but she talks up a storm she is learing a new word or two on a weekly basis now. Micah is working sometimes six or seven day's a week so we don't have much family time but this is his busy season. So at least it is short term. My dad and my Sister and her family are doing well. Ryan made the honor roll and he is doing great in his go-kart racing. Well that sums it all up and I promise that I will "try" to start posting on a weekly basis again.

three years ago today

I was in labor with my first child Brandon. My labor started at 3:15a.m. and when we got to the hospital they had me walk for a while and I had lot of friends and family coming in and out of my room and it was a long day I ended up having to have an emergency c-section and Brandon made is apperance at 6:32 p.m. and he weighed in at 7 pounds 13 ounces and he was 21 inches long. I can't believe that my lil man is three today.

my kids are totally diffrent from one another

here are some diffrences between the two.

Brandon was the best baby any first time mom could ask for Haleigh one the other had as much as I love her is the difficult one she had colic and she is just so needy and it gets on my nerves at times.

Brandon is fair skinned and he has the lighter hair but dark eyes, Haleigh has a darker skin tone and darker hair and blue eyes. He takes after me and she takes after her daddy.

He never was and still is not a hitter or a biter and Haleigh is the bully out of the two.I can see her causing me alot of headaches in years to come.

One thing that they do have in common is that they are both very loving kids and they are both very senstive.

Tell me a little bit about you children or if you just have one tell me a little about him or her.

Finally

Brandon is sleeping in his own bed. See when he was about nine mths old I would let him sleep with me if he would get up in the night well than he would only go to sleep if he was in bed with us and it continued for well almost two more years and now that Micah is working during the day's I knew that I needed Brandon to sleep in his own bed. Well that was easier said than done until we moved here and he is doing great and I don't here a peep out of him until he wakes up in the morning. I sleep better as well b/c there is not a little boy in the middle of the bed that is a bed hog.
