Bwoke Ahm

Yes, I know how to spell, but that is the closest I can get to "Isaac-speak" for his ailment. Poor little Isaac fell off the end of his bed and broke his left arm just above the elbow. And, when Isaac does something he really does it, cause he snapped the bone right in two.

So, to make a long story short, we spent the night in 2 ERs, got a room at the children's hospital at 3am, and he went to surgery at 730am. He has 2 pins in his arm that will come out in 2 more weeks, which the doctor told me yesterday. And boy, do I have a story about our appt.


Ok, I will tell you all about it. His appt. was at 1030. I got out to start the van at 845. Yup, won't start. So, I call Matt. And I call him again and again and again and again. You get the picture. No one would answer the underground mine phone either. GREAT! So, by now it is 930 and there is no way I will make it there in time. I call the dr's office and reschedule for 1:15.

I finally get ahold of Matt and tell him what is going on. He is going to leave work at 11, come home and get us, and then we will go to the appt. We finally get there and I sign Isaac in. The receptionist tells me she will call me up for paperwork. We sit for 20 minutes. I go back up to the window and ask about paperwork. "Ummm, Ma'am, his appt. was for 1030. I skipped over him." I think my eyes were about to bug out of my head. I told her we rescheduled for 1:15, and I still had not filled out paperwork. "Ok, well I will try and fit you in sometime." FIT ME IN?!? I had an appt. So, needless to say, we sit for another hour and a half. Once we are finally called back they take 2 x-rays, tell me everything looks great, and they will see me next week. I was about to see red. I don't want to go back next week. :(

Since you made it through that epic story, here is a pic of my little bwoke ahm man.

Yes, it is blurry, because even a broken arm doesn't slow Isaac down. And, he is wearing his new pjs from his Aunt Ree that I have to wash EVERYDAY so he can wear them again.

Here is a few pictures also from Isaac and Luke playing in the snow earlier this week. Isaac loved it, of course, Luke was ready to come in after 5 minutes. As soon as I had his snow suit off though he was crying at the door wanting to go back out.

Decisions, decisions.

I cannot make a decision to save my life. It doesn't matter what it is I have to have someone else's opinion. However, I know one thing. I want my children to go to the right school. Last night at our church (We finally joined last Sunday YAY!!!), there was a meeting about the school the church is going to be starting. Isaac would start in the fall of '09. The tuition is not bad at all. However, gas will kill us. We will have to spend 3 times the amount of tuition on gas each month. We are going to start praying now that somehow the Lord will give us what we need in order to send the boys to school here. Otherwise, I will be home-schooling. And, Lord knows I would need LOTS more patience for that.

Life is normal again.

Well, I finally have my computer back. Actually, I have had it back since Saturday, but I haven't had time to sit down and post since then. When all the storms went through Kentucky my modem was fried by lightning and somehow that messed up a network adaptor card on my computer. Yeah, whatever that is. Lucky for me, Vanya's husband, Keith, volunteered to fix it for me. Yeah, I love him. And Vanya knows it too. ;) So, I took the computer to Vanya in Lexington and I had to wait ONE WHOLE WEEK to get it back. Matt and I went Saturday night to get it. Can I just say how nice it was to go out with my husband for one night and not have to worry about the boys? Thanks, Mom for coming to stay with them. And, Matt was like a worried Mommy about them. Always saying, "Do you think we have been gone too long?" No, now shut up and let me enjoy my 5 hours away from them. LOL. We went to Longhorn for dinner and to Dress Barn so I could exchange a dress. I did get my Easter dress. I can't wait to wear it. And, I even know another dress I am going to somehow talk Matt into.

Sunday we still didn't join Lincoln Trail. Bro. Harris had a sick little girl so his family wasn't at church. So, next Sunday I guess. Isaac started PeeWee Club. He loved it and the little sailor hat they gave him to wear.

And, can I just say that even though I had no computer for a whole week, I did not get any scrapping done or any cards made?!? Sad, I know. My house was a little neater though. I was so bored I did some deep cleaning.

Happy Birthday Luke

Today is my baby's first birthday. I just can't believe it is here already. What a year it has been too. I thank the Lord for giving me such sweet boys. They can be a handful, but I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Tomorrow we are having a small family birthday party for him. The inlaws are coming tonight and the rest of the family will be here tomorrow.

Isaac and I sang Happy Birthday to him this morning and he thought we were crazy.

Happy Birthday Luke. Mommy loves you!!

Here is a pic of one year ago today and then him now:

New Background

Everyone that knows me knows that I love purple. So, when I saw this template, I had to have it. Then, I felt like I needed to post something. Too bad, I have nothing to say. Slow day around here today. Straightened up the house and went to the grocery store. Same ole stuff.

I tried to make a few cards tonight but I just didn't have it in me. Could be because Luke was crying at my feet and Isaac was trying to sit on top of me.

I didn't go to church tonight because Isaac doesn't feel good. When that boy lays on the couch with a blanket of his own accord, you know he doesn't feel right. So, Matt went and I stayed with the boys.

Hopefully tomorrow Isaac will feel better. Better be off to bed in case he is sick tonight.

Home Again

I am home again after visiting family and friends in Indy. It was nice to go back and see everyone. Really good to be back at Faith for church. I need to make the effort to go back more often. Hard to do though with Isaac in preschool now. It felt good to be able to talk to friends in person instead of on the phone or internet. I loved being able to spend time with my mom. I miss everyone. : (

We celebrated Luke's birthday. Kelly was nice enough to let me book her house. Man, did he love cake. Risa got this pic of him:
But, what doesn't the boy love food wise? I can't believe he will be one. Time just flies by. Makes me realize how much I need to cherish every single day with my boys. I am so lucky to be able to be at home with them now.

OH, Hi to Cheurie and Jon if you remember the name of my blog. Since you drug it out of me.

Name Frame

Nothing interesting happening here today. Isaac went back to school. Why they had the preschool go back to school for one day and then get 3 days off is beyond me. He didn't want to listen today. Big shocker. Hopefully, someday soon, it will click somewhere in him that he needs to listen at school. Oh, and with potty-training too. Anyway, I am itching to scrapbook. However, I just can't take Luke down in the basement with me. It is way too cold down there. So, I dug around on my computer and found something I made a while ago.

June is a big month for us. There is my mom's birthday, Matt's mom's birthday, my parent's anniversary, our anniversary, and a few friends birthdays also. Anyway, for our moms' birthdays I decided to make name frames for them.



I bought the frames at Walmart. The cardstock and stamps are all SU. It is amazing how their hands have grown just since June. : (
