Too much fun!

So we took Coleman to the Instacare with a broken wrist on wednesday night. Had to let the swelling go down and then get it casted today. Long story short, three dr.'s and 5 hours later he has a cast. No it didn't take three dr.'s to do it...the first put splint on it wednesday and said go to our family dr. on friday. I did as told. Got to family dr. today, waited an hour, then he said he could not cast this type of break because it needed to be set or re-angled, so off I went to an orthapedic specialist. He comes in, looks at it and starts casting. I said, don't you need to set it? He said, no, not for a three year old, he has a lot of growth left to do so it will correct itself, if he'd been 14, then yes. So Brad and I were very frustrated. We think they all just sent us around on a goose chase so that they could ALL make money instead of just one. Totally lame! Anyway, it is done and he is a lot happier, it can't twist so it doesn't hurt him much.

We are off to the park fr the primary activity - Olympics. We have taken D to the park the last few nights because he insisted on practicing for it. So, off we go. I feel like a walking zombie today!

DEATH by Weeds!!!

So today i spent three hours outside, pulling weeds taller than I am. With Itchy, buring eyes and sneezing every 5 seconds to boot! I only got the portion right in front of the house done, all these pics above, those areas are still untouched! I decided that all of this weed pulling and up-keep is going to cause an early death!!!

On the first pic, can you tell which is my neighbors corn patch and which is our weeds?!? That is terrible. Our poor neighbor!

The kids had fun, or course, I kept saying I was going to pass out, they'd bring me water and squirt me with the hose. So, glad someone had fun during all of this! Brad and I are not so sure about this 1/2-acre deal...Once it is actually landscaped, then yeah, it might be more manageable, still a lot of work, but not out of control like this. The way things are going though, it's gonna be 10 years before we get this landscaped!!!


I should have taken a before of this area, but i didn't think of taking pics and posting all of this until after I decided I was going to die! ;) So these are the two piles i pulled. These don't look like much, but it was, believe me. And trying to pull these suckers out of our rock hard dirt?!? I've got blisters all over my hands. One of the weeds I pulled, well, more like chopped down, the stalk to the thing was seriously at least 3" across. We're not growing weeds, they are TREES! With lots of sticker burrs in them!

Here is what it is supposed to look like, but doesn't very often, due to weed overload!!!

Finally Got Pics Downloaded

So I was deep cleaning my bedroom the other day, good thing huh? My door is almost always open as shown above, I closed it while I was cleaning and about died! It's not all dust at least, are door hinges sluff off some type of black powder, so it is that along with a lot of dust. I was totally disgusted with myself, what a slacker!!!

I was giving Jeric a tub and the two boys wanted to help. Now that Jeric wants to sit up, they thought it was cool to hold him in the tub. The other pic is just him sitting up, it is so weird to walk in the room and see him actually SITTING! Growing up too fast!
D not too happy, just got his tonsils and adnoids out, he would only stay occupied with one thing for oh, 1 minute. It was really hard, he definately had a harder time that Coleman. O-well, it's done and they are both sleeping wonderfully the last two nights!!!

Jeric's first time in johnny jump up and he loved it. Note...always watch older boys, I came in and D was standing in my bathroom and C in my bedroom, swinging him back and forth as hard as they could!!! I about died.

Jeric is my little sleeper. Anything i put him in, he just falls asleep. He doesn't make too much noise so i figure he is okay then i walk in and this is what i see!

Coleman got this dump truck for his bday two years ago and they don't play with it outside, they take turns pushing each around the house in it. Their favorite thing to do is push it from the front right into the love sac and they torpedo into the love sac.

I swore i would never buy wranglers for my boys, but these were hand-me-downs from cousin KAlan and they would not take them off. I will admit, they did look cute running around in these. They are all excited to go to the rodeo in sept. It's so funny cause neither brad or I are cowboys, but there's something about 2-5 yr old boys being fascinated with the idea!
Dalton embarred about the hospital gown he had to wear. He said, "Mom, I suggest you take this off me, the dr. will laugh at me, it is a dress with scary cats on it. I am not wearing this to surgery. He wasn't nervous for the surgery, but worried about being embarrased in his get-up!
