our life right now

brielle is sassier than ever, a night owl (the child will not fall asleep at night! i now have to share my late night, kids(supposed to be) in bed, sweet tooth indulgence with a 3 year old) and she has started sucking her thumb. what's with that???

we can no longer spell out words in this house. kiley is right there telling us what we said when we do. not cool.

you know you need to go back to school when your 2nd grader is asking for help with something and you have to tell her to ask daddy when he gets home.

i have been lifting weights at the gym and running at night 3-4 times a week and i am still a lard butt, so i don't know why i even bother! (i guess i could try to cut out the late night sweet tooth indulgence too)

i am totally freaking out about my kids growing up. the 2 oldest have learned the word sex. they have learned this word at school so who knows what they have been told about it. it's time to have "the talk".

i got a new car! yay for me, no more driving the truck.

bri bri knocked on our bedroom door the other night at 4 in the morning. when jeremy opened the door she had her huggie in one hand and a bowl of chocolate chips in the other. i guess she has a late LATE night sweet tooth.

life is bittersweet.

Back To School

The girlies headed back to school yesterday. What an exciting day for all of us! (probably me the most) Brielle is going to preschool 3 days a week. It was really hard leaving her. She was nervous but excited. I really think she liked it. She was confused that she wasn't going today. "Ty Ty and Kiley Bug go today and I am big now like them and I go today too." I explained to her that she goes on Mon, Wed and Fri but she insisted she is big like them. Anyway, back in the swing of things, and I love it.

Please don't call CPS!

We had two burn accidents yesterday. Kiley was holding on to the ironing board and the iron fell on her neck. It was awful. She was screaming mommy! Ahhhh! mommy! Now I am not one those moms that calms her children, I am screaming too. I hate seeing my babies hurt and I get so upset. Jeremy is calm and rational. I am freaking out! She was feeling alot better by the eveing so I talked her into to taking a picture. Our second burn of the day was Brielle. Jeremy put one of those uncrustable pb&j sandwiches in the microwave to thaw and it obviously was burning hot. The jelly squirted out and somehow ended up just below her eye and on her hand. Can you say bad parents? We really do love our little girls so please don't report this to CPS.

back from the ROAD TRIP

this is our house in Georgia

this is the house in memphis that jeremy lived in

so we survived the road trip! we drove all day monday and tuesday, loaded wednesday and drove home thursday and friday. friday was not so good, we had a fight. i am to blame, i get a little carried away sometimes, but lucky for me he still loves me and i am so happy we got our stuff. well, SOME of our stuff. we were surprised to find our home unlocked and our belongings stolen. the refrigerator, bar stools and mirrors in the bathrooms were gone! i am so angry and sad that someone would do this. they were kind enough to leave my window treatments so i did get those also. the playground had weathered pretty bad and the neighbor next door actually wanted it so we sold it to them. the only sightseeing on this road trip was in memphis. jeremy was born there so we tracked down his family's old house and drove by. it was fun to see where he was born and his older siblings grew up. the south really is beautiful and the people are so nice(except for crazy people that stole my stuff!) i do miss it, but i love being back with our families again. and thanks thanks thanks to dawn and jared for letting us crash at their place!
