The week is finally over, and I have to say that this was a hard week for me. Not only with work, but with multiple things. I have never been more thankful to say T.G.I.F.. Except, today I am feeling VERY under the weather, and I have so much to get done today. Maybe I'll feel better later on in the day. But here is my 5!
1. Sleep: Not for me, but for Carter. I think he read my previous blog, because I layed him down at 6:30 last night, and he slept until 12 to eat, then again at 3:30. He was VERY tired. He was able to play with his cousin Whit yesterday and I guess all that estrogen just wore him out!!
2.3 am talks: With me not feeling good, Carter being hungry, and Akira pooping all over my kitchen floor, I was pretty awake at 3am. So was Carter for a little while, so I was able to sit and rock him, and just listen to him coo in my ear! I love the sound of his voice, and it definatly took my mind off the mess that I just had to clean up in my kitchen!
3. Fridays. Its the end of the week, but its also a day to reflect on the days before, and come up with thankful thoughts, instead on dwelling on the "poopy" stuff. (No pun intended)
4. Pledge: I dusted our home yesterday! It was long overdue, but I love how pledge just make the job easier, and it makes everything so shinny, and makes the air smell good!
5. Coupons and discounts: I have a 50% off coupon for Chadwicks, and Im using it to get 2 new dresses for the summer. my total for both is the cost of what one would be alone! I can;t pass up a bargin, and a chance to get new clothes, which I need badly!
Theres my 5! hope everyone has a great week!

Whats Sleep?
Well I think I was spoiled the first 5 months of Carter's life. He has always been a wonderful sleeper, a total opposite from his sister. I thought I was in the clear, beacuse usually around 6 months, is when most babies sleep through regardless.. Not for me... for the past week, I have been up almost every hour and a half to 2 hours, with a SCREAMING baby.. Not crying, or fussy, but litterally screaming..he wouldn't eat, and he wouldnt eventually cry himself to sleep. Thusly I was at a loss. I would whip up a 4oz bottle of formula and pray he would eat it.. Sometimes he would and fall asleep for a little while. An already long story short, I think my baby boy is starting to teeth. I am going to miss that toothless smile, but Im ready for the process to be over.. Last night was the firt night he only woke up once, but just when I thought I was going to get some sleep, Crysta crawled into bed with me. She got in trouble earlier in the day, and usually when that happens, she wants to sleep with me the night after. So I let her for a while, until I wanted to roll over, and had to put her in her own bed. I enjoy the cuddle time with her, but I also cherish my sleep at night time. I desperatly need my sleep!
A few more updates, we are looking at some preschools for Crysta to attend this fall. There aren't many choices, but I think we are just going to have to be on a waiting list, and just enroll her somewhere, and pray we get into the places we want.. Im trying to prepare myself for preschool, I will most likley be that blubbering mom outside the door, waving good-bye for 20 minuets long after she has forgotten about me. ut pre-school is only part time, kindergarden is whats going to kill me. She will start kindergarden when it switches to all day. Im just not sure how I feel about that. I guess we will see when the time comes, but I know it has to happen, I just never thought I would be going through this process so soon. It makes me cherish my time with her that much more.
Terrance and I bought me a new softball mit yesterday. Since we are starting a co-ed team for the summer, we thought I'd better get a glove. Ans dince it was nice yesterday he took me to the park and helped me practice. It was fun just getting out and playing around with the family. Crysta has her own mit too, so we all played, but Carter just slept in the car! Playing though made me realize how rusty I am, and what hard work it is. I was wore out! But I love it! I can't wait to play!!
I will just leave you with a few pictures! Have a great hump day!
Check out Carter's Post Bath hair!! its on the verge of a mowhawk!
The true personality of my kiddos. I love Carters face!

What Love Means.
Leslie had forwarded an email to me that as just too cute. We forget the children see things in such a diffrent light. Sometimes we need to have the mindset of a child. Instead of saying, "you can show me you love me, by buying me all these things", we should count all the little things.. Here is what some childrens answers were to " What does Love Mean?"
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6
"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."
Jessica - age 8
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"
Here is Crystas answer.. " Love means I LOVE YOU!"

Five for Friday
I haven't posted a 5 for Friday in a long time, and thought today I would.
1. Crysta and Carter. I love the fact that no matter what is happening around them, they are always so joyful and stress free. It makes me take a step back and look at myself. I need to strive to be like them in my attitude twards certian situations. Plus they always brighten me up when I see them. Not a moment goes by that they don't make me laugh or just enjoy their company!
2. Sister Time. I was so excited when Tawn told me that she was going to stay home with Whitney. I love being able to spend time with the both of them. Tawn uplifts me, even when she doesn't realize shes doing anything. I am so thankful that I have such a wonderful sister to share my thoughts with, and now someone who will sit with me at the mall, while Crysta plays! Thanks Tawn!
3. The Bible. I never really appreciated the Bible until recently. One day I was driving home, and ran inside for a minuet and when I came out, Crysta was reading her childrens bible, and she knew what story it was. I find her doing this often and I thought to myself that everyone should find joy and inspriation from reading the Bible, and decided that I was going to have a moment in the morning to myself with my Bible and just study. I really enjoy it, and I have never done it before, its really refreshing.
4. Pictures. I LOVE looking at pictures, and I love to scrapbook them too. They are just great reminders of the past and present. I take as many as I can and try to look back on them often.
5. Terrance. He pushes me to step out of the limits. He is trying to get me to start a co-ed softball team. I am really looking forward to playing, and just another night out of the week that I can spend time with great friends and family. I also just love having something like this, that Terrance and I can share. Although I love cheering him on while watching him play sports, I enjoy it more when we cheer on eachother while playing together!
What are you thankful for?

Everyone else is doing it!
OK, so I'm the last one to blog about Les's great idea of 5 things I have learned. Now, Im not sure the time frame we are talking about, becuase I have learned ALOT!! hehe. But I thought today would be a great day to do it, becuase its turning out to be a testing day..
1. That my marrige will never be a fairy tale, and I shouldn't hold my expectations to a impossibly high level. It takes so much work, love, communication, and understanding on both sides to make one work, I can't always expect things to be easy or handled for me.
1a. That I love being married to Terrance. He challenges me in so many ways (not always good) but thats what makes him him, me me, and our marrige the way it is. And I wouldnt trade any of it for anything diffrent.
2. That patience is a constant need in my daily life. With 2 little ones, and the days when they are both screaming at the same time, or when Carter is especially fussy, or when Crysta just loves to push my buttons, patience is what gets me through,although it is something that I need more of.
3. That being a Mommy is the best job in the whole world. I was very close to my Mom growing up, and I want to be that for my children. I enjoy every minuet I get with them, and try to never miss a second of anything. It also gives me a great excuse to watch cartoons, and color withouth looking weird!
4. To hold your friends and family dear. Since moving to Jeff City, I have made some great friends, and inherited some wonderful family. I am so blessed to be able to spend all the time with them (you all) that I can. However, since moving here, I have also learned to hold your family that is living away from you, just as close. I miss my family in Colorado. My brothers, my Dad, and even my Mom. Its a rare thing for both sides of the family to live in one place, but no matter the distance always show your friends and family how much they mean to you.
5. The 5th thing that I have learned that I will write about today is I love food way to much. In high school I tried to be annorexic. Not sure how many of you know that. I didnt eat for about 3 weeks, then one day at track practice I fainted, and realized how stupid I was. But Im always trying the latest diet or eating program. Always trying to fix myself. but I have come to realize that I just love food way to much to not eat it. It makes me happy and I enjoy eating it!
5a. That I need to stop focusing on my physical being, and put my energy in more prductve areas. I will never be a model, and I dont want to be. But I need to stop trying to always loose weight, or fix my face. Deep down I am happy with myself, I just need to learn to accept that.
Enough of that. I think I spilled to many beans this time! Hope everyone is having a great day of LOVE!! Happy Valentines Day!! I love you all!!

Our week N weekend
I took a Part Time temporary job at Terrill's work, Data Comm scanning medical documents into the office's data base. They are letting me come in in the evenings, which is nice, but its cutting into my family time. Granted Terrance plays basketbal 3 out of the 5 nights of the week, but its only for 2-3 hours tops. The extra money will be nice, especially since we are hoping to buy a second car by the summer. So needless to say I am busy with the church, and taking care of my 2 lovelys on top of it. I do enjoy having something out of the house to do though. And as crazy as it sounds I like the office work. Scanning documents is no trip to Disney land, but I guess just the repeditaveness of the work, in a room by myself is almost relaxing. Almost like meditation. I can quite discribe it right, but in short, I couldnt do it 24/7 for the rest of my life but for now, I am enjoying it.
Now for the pictures.. I usually take Mondays off from the church, so last monday I had a movie in for Crysta while I got ready to go into Data Comm and when I came out, she was laying next to Carter.. Too cute that she loves her time with her brother, even when no one askes her to get near him for a picture.
Then I took wednsday night off of scanning for some family time, plus I had planned on going in all day thursday, so I needed to get some sleep. so to cut back on water and time, Crysta shared part of her bath time with her brother. She really enjoyed having him in the tub with her. She likes to help me wash him and get him dressed, so having him in the bath WITH her, almost gave her the responsibility. I was only allowed to hold him, and she was the one who washed him up. If only he could sit up alone, I think she would play with him for hours! Again, I am so thankful that she loves him so much, and wants to spend time with him.
Then Saturday, to catch up on lost family time, and because it was like 54 degrees outside, we decided to picnic at the park. We loaded up, and the minuet we got to the table the wind decided to pick up. after chilling us to the bones, and blowing all of our napkins to Florida, we decided to eat in the car. Not as easy, but a lot warmer. After our car-nic, we went out to play. The wind really picked up then, and even though Carter was well coverd and bundled, it started to wake him up and make him mad, so Terrance took him and Akira to the car. So while Terrance, Akira, and Carter sat in the car, Crysta and I played on the playground. Then We got really cold, and I felt bad for Terrance, so we went home.
All week, all Crysta could talk about was making Valentines. So yesterday after lunch thats what we did. I wanted them to be totally from her, so all I did was cut out the hearts. She had glitter, crayons, stickers, glue, whatever she wanted. I helped her with 2, then after that she flew solo. Since she is getting a cold, she has been sniffling a lot and rubbing her eyes. So after she would glitter a card, she would rub her eyes and say (in a stuffed up voice) " Momma, I need to blow my nose", and when I would turn to help her, she would have glitter all over her face from rubbing her eyes, I couldn't help but laugh. I kept asking her if she wanted to rest and finish her valentines later, but she was determined. But after a dose of Ibuprofen, and 10 cards later, she was passed out on the couch. She needed the sleep. It was so fun to watch her make her cards, she loves making things for and giving them to people.
I hope this week I can knock out a lot of the job, so I might be pulling some really late nights. It will be a hard and busy week, but its only temporary. But all this has made me realize that I could never work away from my kiddos. Have a great week everyone!

My A,B,C's of Thanks.
Happy monday everyone. I was thinking last night, that there is a whole lot in my life that I am thankful for, so instead of listing them in numberd lines, I thought I would make it interesting, and use the A,B,C's.
A.Astringent: it just makes my face feel so cool and comfortablt after I wash it.
B.Blake and Austin: I don't get to play with those boys as much as I want to, but I really enjoyed time with them last night. Trust me, they will get to know me, and learn to LOVE me! haha.
C. Crysta and Carter: Surprise? I love my babies. There is no greater joy than recieveing the love of my own two children! I can't picture my life without them.
D. Drumsticks: the ice cream. I love them, and I can eat the whole box. But they seem to be just enough after a dinner that you don't feel like you over-stufed yourself.
E. Eternal Salvation: What an amazing feeling to know that in Christ we have an everlasting life in Heaven.
F. Friends and Family: Last night getting to spend time with all my best buds made me realize how much I miss hanging out with them. But we are working on a plan to get together more often! And I have the most wonderful family, here and in Colorado, I am truly blessed with the people in my life.
G. Godly Friends: It is so wonderful to be surrounded by inspiring friends (and Family). To have people who will hold you accountable, pray with you, and keep you motivated.
H. Hands: I love having hands that can tickle my kiddos so my ears can hear them giggle.
I. Internet: Its a burden and a blessing, but without it, I would be in the dark on a lot of things. I like to research and browse to much.
J. June: This June I am in 2 weddings. I am inheriting a new sister, and I get to stand up next to one of my best friends as she gets married. What a great privalige.
K. Kind Words: They are always nice to recieve, and can last with you for a long time. Never let a moment pass without passing some kind words to people you know, it could brighten their day.
L. LOVE: February is supposedly the month of Love, but why do we need just one month? Why can't we spread the love every month?? but I am thankful that I am surrounded by people who love me.. Thanks for that.
M. Mommas: Without them, where would we turn? Never under estimate what Mothers are capable of.
