My new job

I am so happy that I am able to have a real friend with Rossi to play with now. Here Jacob and him were taking turns being a dog. Take note they are drinking from bowls.
This was a nice sensory activity gone in a major different direction. See how they are playing so nicely, just look a few more pictures down and see what happens.
Yes, only my son would be the one dumping it on his head.
Look at the smile how could I get upset. It is all about the process!

Or the car.

Ross dumped sand all over Baxter, I had to vacuum him off.
After all that Ross was thirsty.

All I can say is how cute is she? I had so much fun doing these pictures, she is such an easy baby.

I am not dead, just busy

So my life has been very busy these past couple of weeks. I have taken on a new old challenge and that is taking back one of the kids I watched when I was pregnant with Annie. Let's just say things are so much better this time around. The little boy I have now has since been diagnosed and I now know what to do to help him. The crazy thing is he is actually helping little Ross with many things. I have learned it takes a lot of patient with these little guys. They are getting turn taking down and I have also come to the conclusion that they need to keep on moving. My first day I thought I was going to die of exhausting but I got through. While, taking care of Jacob, we have managed a trip to the zoo, a trip to Sam's Club, a trip to the vet and the doctors. Wow, now I can see kind of what mothers of multiples go through. Another challenge is if one person has an off day the whole group does. I am just happy that I am able to help this little guy out. It is challenging because I know I have to always be on my toes around him, but it beats going back to work. It is definitely a full time job. Once Ross gets a chance I will post all the fun pictures of my new adventures.

Happy 1st Birthday LOGAN JAMES

Sweet Baby Logan came into the world only weighing 1lb 2oz. He was the third triplet born to my cousin Lindsey. Jacob Allen and Katie Maye were is older siblings. Jacob lived for only an hour after he was born and Katie lived for three hours. They were to little to be helped. This was a moment in my life that I don't think I ever cried so much in my life. We got to hold them and love them for the very short period of their lives. They were a true blessing from Heaven. They will never be forgotten.

Logan had a long and trying journey ahead of him. He fought many near death situations. There was even a time when they called in the family to say their goodbyes to him. This was a week after he was born and I will never forget the feeling that came over me when, I was comforted by the Spirit and I was told that he was going to be all right. Thank Heavens for the doctor that came to his rescue and said lets try this drug to see if it works. Well it worked. Logan still had many trials ahead of him and he beat them all.

Logan you truly are a miracle and you are so loved. You are a testimony of prayer!! Happy Birthday my sweet little 2nd cousin.




The day after he was born

This is his daddy, Kenton.

Happy 27th Amber

I just want to introduce to everyone my best friend Amber. She is turning 27 today and I thought she would like everyone in the world to know that. I just wanted to share my thoughts about her with everyone. She is the type of person people are just natural drawn to. She is one of the most caring and devoted friends I could ever ask for.

She moved into our small town in seventh grade and I instantly became her friend. I knew I wanted to be her friend little did she know that she would be stuck with me for the rest of her life. We have been through many of lives many trials together. I remember being there to listen to this sweet hearted eighth grade girl tell me about her mom fighting cancer. Heck I even remember being there or not when she needed a place to stay when her Dad was a way. I say this because when we were in high school there would be days that Amber would stay at my house even if I wasn't there. I think that is just a little hint of how well she was welcomed and loved in my home.

Even though we lost contact for a few years after high school, when we reunited it was like we didn't even miss a beat. I am so thankful to still have her in my life. She is my link to the past and I think she understands and knows me the best. Anyway, happy birthday Amber, you truly know the true meaning of friendship. Thanks for always being positive and there for me when I needed an ear to talk into. I love ya!!!
Good old high school picture.

Little did I know but I was pregnant in this picture with Annie.
She was even in the room when Annie came.

How Cheap Are You?

Okay, so yesterday I got to practice how cheap I was. We ventured out to the zoo with the new little boy I am watching and afterwards big Ross was starving. He didn't feel like eating my packed lunch of good old PB and J's. So I mentioned that there was a Culver's near by. He thought that sounded good because they have the BEST burgers. I told him he was getting a kids meal, he thought I was talking about little Ross. I said "No, because the kids meals are really big, plus you get custard with it all for under $5. So when I pulled up to the window I order a kids cheeseburger with everything on it with a Mt. Dew to drink ( I swear these people probably thought I was the worst parent) then I asked for an extra cup to divided the custard because it was for two boys, then to end the order I asked for two free waters." They were even kind enough to split the custard up for me. Now that is what I call a deal, Big Ross got the drink and burger, the boys got their treat, and I got the fries and water. I know I have managed to do cheaper things in my past but I thought this one was pretty good.

Just Annie

I feel like my blogs are mostly of Ross, but I do take pictures of Annie. I love her in this outfit, so I needed to get pictures of her in it.

Look at those big old eyes!!! I could just eat her up.
