Susan gave me a blog award!

I feel so proud. I have never had an award before. A very sweet friend, Susan sent me this little "I love your blog" award. I am so happy! Thank you so much Susan! Your are so sweet. Susan is one of the most caring people on the web, she has a wonderful family who she adores. She is just great!

Thank you Susan!

Now I have to think of 7 people to award, I'll come back later with that.

Kitty being a mean boy (just playing) but he gets angry

Nevaeh getting off the bus

Here is a little video of my big girl getting off the school bus. The big kids think they must get on HER bus to get her off.

Nevaeh's preschool project

Nevaeh brought home this little project for our family to do. It was called "A Family Project" where they wanted the whole family to pitch in and create it. We all helped fix it up pretty (well except for Jarrid, he just doesn't like crafts) We put beads all over it, I made hair bows for its ears, the kids colored it and Nevaeh helped glue everything on. I pasted it to card board to make it more sturdy since it was just paper. I think it is so cute. Nevaeh can't wait to take it to school tomorrow to show it off.

We also had a conference with her teacher today. She said Nevaeh is doing great. She said that Nevaeh is very very shy which was hard for me to believe since she is such a talker here at home. They said they hardly ever hear her speak! Her little class room is so cute. When we went in.. there were little kids laying everywhere on their little mats asleep.

Here is her dragon (I think it is a dragon?)

Gross out post

Last night my boy cat stayed out all night. When we got up to get the kids to school we found that he had killed a huge pigeon and left it on the street. Jarrid was going to clean it up after he walked the kids to the bus stop. I had my front door open waiting on Nevaeh's little bus to come (it comes right to our house) Nevaeh and I were sitting in the rocker together when Sarafena comes flying in the house and up the stairs with this huge dead pigeon in her mouth!(she also had this sly look on her face, like to say "your not going to get me haha" Oh, YUCK! This is so gross, so stop reading now if you don't want to hear it. The poor bird was hollow in the middle! I start screaming because I can't believe my kitty girl has taken a huge dead bird up to our bedroom! So gross! Bad kitty! Jarrid gets home from walking the kids to the bus and has to go fetch the bird upstairs. Gross Gross Gross! I will never kiss those kitties again! EW!

Sarafena and Sebastian are growing!

My kitties are growing so big. They are so sweet. Sebastian is more silly and likes to play silly games. He enjoys climbing up on top of the fish tank and then falling in, well I don't know if he actually enjoys the falling in part, but he does it ALL the time. Sarafena is more serious. She doesn't joke around. She is a true friend who can sense when I feel sad or depressed.

Here they are

Nevaeh's first painting from school

Nevaeh LOVES school, she comes home everyday so happy and proud of herself. I am so glad she likes it. I feel very proud that she is going to learn so much this year. I never dreamed that I would send her. They are having a little halloween party in a few weeks and they are also having a little parade where all the little kids (all 90 of them) will march down our streets dressed up in their little halloween outfits.

Anyway, here is a picture of proud Nevaeh with her painting!

Just rambling

Today we took the kids to the park, they had a great time. We let them play for about two hours, we also let them play down by the river, but I didn't get any pictures of that. They had the best time. They love being out and running wild, lol. I am going to take them out more often since the weather is getting wonderful. I am also feeling a lot better (I was really bad with nerves for like two whole months) Here are some pictures from the park.

My silly Sebastian

My silly cat Sebastian enjoys playing the in/out game every morning. When I get up in the morning he is waiting by the door wailing to get out. I let him out, ten minutes later he wants back in. Then he wants out, then in. This goes on all day. Sometimes I let him outside and ignore him when he starts wanting back in because I know just as soon as I let him in he is going to want to go outside again. Silly kitty!! I let him out this morning and he wanted back in, then he wanted out again and just a few minutes ago he wanted back in. I ignored him. When I ignore him, this is what he does at the window. (BTW, the window is so nasty because he is constantly paw-ing the window with his wet and grimy little paws)



This cat thinks he is a human child! He is getting so big and of course is as cute as ever. He sleeps with me at night and gets up with me in the morning. I really love him to pieces, but he is so annoying sometimes!

Busy Weekend

I have had a very busy weekend. On Friday night my sister Crystal and I.. went out to do some fun little stuff that just made us laugh and laugh, so much fun. heheh Don't think I'll ever forget that. It all came to a crashing end though, so no more of that. On Saturday I spent the whole day cleaning the house and rearranging the living room. I got a new coffee table at a yard sale that I love and a new pair of dark curtains (black and gold) I love for my house to be really dark. I also bought a brand new in the box rice cooker for $2, but I brought it home and cooked up the rice and it all turned to nasty mush. Ew.I mean this was like pudding. If anyone out there knows what I am doing wrong.. feel free to let me know! I really wanted fluffy rice.

Makenzie went with her little friend to horse riding lessons on Saturday too, she had a great time. She loves her little friend so much and loves their whole family. She spent the night with them Saturday too.

Tomorrow is back to the grind stone with getting up early to get THREE kids off to school. I can't believe I am saying that, I am now sending three kids to school. Nevaeh needed a small blanket for nap time. My sister gave her a beautiful little thin blanket to take to school. She also needed a tiny pillow. We looked everywhere for a tiny pillow. All we could find was these little crib pillows that were like $15. Noway I was paying that. So I came home and found the supplies laying around to make her a little pillow. It didn't take me long at all and best of all.. I think it turned out pretty cute. It is deep pink corduroy material that my mom gave me awhile ago.

Here is a picture

Nevaeh started preschool !!!

Nevaeh started preschool on Wednesday. I am very excited about her starting. It is an all day preschool- 8 to 3. She went her first day on Wednesday and LOVED it. She did so well, she sat at her little desk/table and never tried to get up and run for me. She said she made a best friend and wants to go back really soon. I am excited for my baby, she is so happy! They do all kinds of fun stuff. They have a play area in her class room with a play kitchen area, dress up area, reading area, paint area and outside on the porch is water play and a huge table filled full of rice and beans for the kids to play in. They have a great outside play area. They also have a newly fixed up basement play area with foam floor padding, slides, tunnels and tons more stuff to play on. She is going to be SO happy to get to go to school like her sissy and bubby do everyday.

She will also learn to write her full name in the next few months, write all the letter of the alphabet by the end of the year.
School is out until Tuesday. On Tuesday she is even going to ride the bus like a big girl! I can't believe my baby girl is growing so big and smart and will now be going to school.
