Last Friday I had a doctor's appointment so my mom kept the kids for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been meaning to upload this video for a while now and I tried while I was bored out of my mind waiting on the doctor, to only realize I can't upload videos on my mobile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's from last week when Jaycelyn spontaneously brought to my attention that she knows how to spell her name. She is such a smart girl and eager to learn anything and everything! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She does have some funny little voice she's talking in for this video. Probably because she's "acting" and I put her on the spot. And me...ugh, I hate hearing my voice on camera! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Since then, Noah has learned to spell his name too! I'm so proud of him! He was having a hard time because A and H sound so much alike. He kept saying N.O.H.H so I wrote each letter on a separate piece of paper and taped them side by side on the wall. Visually seeing that the letters were different made a world of difference. In less than an hour he had it down! <br />

While I was gone to the doctor on Friday, my mom let the kids have some messy fun. She made colored cool whip and let them play with it like finger paint. They made a huge mess, but had a blast! Here are some pictures she took.</div>

I plan to make the chocolate covered pretzels tomorrow, but my Noah Reid has been sick all day today so there may be a trip to the doctor in our near future. Bless his heart, you can tell he doesn't feel good. Please keep him your prayers! <br />

I was really bummed a couple years ago when I lost over 6,000 photos that were on my computer when it crashed. I found some pictures the other day that seem like ages ago. I'm glad to have some back, even if it is a few.<br />

Thursday afternoon, Eli had his 15 month check up along with his 12 month that I missed. To be fair, he was running a fever the week I was supposed to take him and by the time I called to make an appointment, they scheduled it for a month out. Sooo, I'm not that bad right!? I did feel really terrible though when he had to get 6 shots! It kind of pissed me off that the nurse was SO slow and my baby had to be held down screaming in pain while she took her sweet time. That's definitely one of the hardest things about being a parent. Seeing your baby in pain for something that has to be done and there's nothing you can do. It's probably actually harder on us than it is them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we were there, even before the shots, Eli screamed almost the entire time throwing a tantrum. So loud and constant that I couldn't even hear what the doctor was saying. This child has a temper and he does not give up easy. He's starting to realize that he doesn't get everything he wants. I wound up feeding him two suckers and a whole bag of fruit loops just to try and keep him happy. Here are a couple of pics I took before he started throwing his fits.</div>

Thursday night, the kids and I went to the Christmas parade in town. I don't guess I have much to say about it except it was way better than I expected. The kids had a great time seeing and playing with their friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't take many pictures because I was too busy talking and trying to catch up with friends from high school. Here are a few I did get though. </div>

This week I'm saying SO WHAT if...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>I've already stolen a bag of chocolates out of Jason's stocking stuff </li>
<li>I talked him into picking up pizza for dinner so I didn't have to cook</li>
<li>I might have eaten four pieces of that pizza</li>
<li>I usually let Eli finish out his nap when he passes out in his highchair </li>
<li>I quit doing everything after Jason got home and watched Duck Dynasty for 4 hours</li>
<li>I got cut off from the checking account because I'm a shopaholic </li>
<li>I'm taking Eli for his 12 month appointment tomorrow and he's almost 16 months old</li>
<li>I'm already looking at other kinds of pets even though I know it's not gonna happen </li>
<li>I want new wrapping paper because what I have doesn't match my Christmas decor</li>
<li>I constantly check my door step for packages</li>
<li>I have to email my husband to get his full attention, including my ridiculous Christmas list!</li>
<li>Jason is a better homemaker than I am</li>
<li>I'm trying to unwind with a glass of wine so I can go to sleep sometime tonight</li>
</ul>

I put together a list of 200+ stocking stuffer ideas (with a little help from others) divided into age categories, ranging from free to a little over $100. Some people choose to do larger amount gifts in the stockings so <i>Hey, you might find something</i>! :) </div>

A while back I bought some magic model clay so that I could add the kids hand prints to my tree this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last weekend my sister and Conner were over so we decided to make them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason decided he needed to help us, so he started rolling out and forming the clay (redneck style). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One tradition that I started with the kids is for them to pick out their very own new ornament to add to the tree every year. I write their name and age on the back of it. When they are grown, they will already have a collection of ornaments for their tree and will also have some special meaning to them. If not, then I will just continue to put them on mine! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What new ornaments or priceless treasures are you adding to your tree this year? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What traditions have you've started with your children? </div>

Wow have I been busy over the past week! Clearly because I'm posting about Thanksgiving over a week late!<br />
After what happened with Bella on Wednesday, Thanksgiving with family and friends and the long weekend helped us feel better. The kids still talk about her at least once a day and say they miss her often. I think about her often too. Like yesterday when I saw some squirrels on our back porch, and thought how happy they must be. I know they're not missing her. And I had a mini breakdown the other day when I finally made myself wash her food and water bowls and put them away.<br />
I think we are done with the pets for a while. I have enough things to worry about and care for. I guess we'll just see how it goes. <br />
<br />
<br />
On Thanksgiving, we had lunch at my grandmothers house. It was a good day and good food! We stayed most of the day talking and looking at Black Friday ads. We left around 7:00 and headed home. I put the kids in bed and headed out to meet my mom and sister for some shopping.<br />
Here are some of the very few pics my sister and I took on Thanksgiving :)<br />

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I've been decorating for a week now and I'm finally finished. I changed my Christmas tree up this year and I love how it came together. I'll share soon. Have a great weekend! :)<br />

<i> </i>Let me just be honest and say today sucked!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It. Totally. Sucked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a pretty big agenda today and of course was feeling really excited about Thanksgiving tomorrow and the upcoming weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather was beautiful so I kept the front door open and let the kids play in the garage and the carport while I cleaned. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were waiting on Brandy, a friend of my cousins, to come and pick up a train table I had for sale. This was the first time we would meet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When she got here, the kids and I walked out to her van with her to load the table and we continued to stand there and talk for a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quickly, I saw the UPS truck coming past our house. The sound of that truck is so familiar to me that I barely even recognize it anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, as I sit here, I could care less if I ever hear it again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know what it was with Bella and that truck but she hated it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She wasn't one to chase cars or bother people, but she hated that truck and she was very protective. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess she felt like she needed to protect us this particular time because she didn't even let up when I yelled at her to stop.<br />
Our Bella wasn't so lucky when she reached it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully she didn't suffer, and it killed her instantly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart is deeply hurting right now. She was a part of our family and such a great dog. I wish I didn't have to see that...and my kids...my poor kids. How do you make them understand something like that? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a while after, my neighbor Pam, took the kids over to her house to play and take their minds off of everything. It was a huge help!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that God intended Brandy to be there at that time because she was also a huge help! It's crazy how someone that you've just met can be so compassionate and caring to someone they don't even know. I learned a lot about her today and she is truly a wonderful genuine person. That is so hard to come by these days. I have a feeling that we'll be great friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason. This was God's will. I am soo Thankful that it wasn't something worse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something good will eventually come out of this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids are having a really hard time with it right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jaycelyn has been crying all afternoon and talking about her non stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Noah doesn't really understand like Jaycelyn does. He doesn't understand that she's not coming back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He'll say she's in heaven one minute and ask where she is the next. Then he tells me to wipe the blood off of her and make her stay in the house so she can't get ran over again. Poor baby :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some people may think that it's a little too early for them to be told about death, but in this situation I didn't really have a choice, but I'm also kind of glad. Even though they can't understand to the the full extent right now, I hope that it instills something in them that I try to make them understand on a daily basis. Like, not going near the road, and how dangerous parking lots or moving cars are, or staying right beside me in the store. I don't want them to be full of fear, but to know that there can be serious consequences for not listening and that we tell them these things because we love them and want to protect them.<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was one of my devotionals today. I get them on my phone twice daily and I love them because I feel like they relate to my situation or what I'm going through every single day.<br />
<br />
<b><i>For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1</i></b><br />
<i>Sometimes bad things happen to good people. But how do you make peace with this thought, especially when you are fighting back anger, hurt, betrayal, or loneliness? It's important to realize that God has perfect timing, even when we can't understand it. Without placing your faith in His timing, you leave room for resentment, despair, and rebellion. When you can't see the work God is doing through tragedy, remain faithful in knowing God's timing is perfect. </i> <br />
<br />
In the meantime, I will trust in God and lean on him for peace and understanding. <br />
<br />
Bella sure was a wonderful part of our family and she will be greatly missed.<br />
<br />
There are so many things we all will miss about her but here are a few I will definitely miss:<br />
Tagging along with us in the kids bedrooms while we tuck them in and put them to bed, talking to me when she needed me to pay attention to something or feed her, her thinking she's a 5lb lap dog, rides in the car, helping me clean up after the kids when they eat, snoring so loud that you can't hear the tv, her big beautiful brown eyes, her love and patience for my kids, and her loyalty to our family.<br />

Today seems like one of the longest days I've had in a while. Even though I don't really have much to show for, I've been going non stop all day! The laundry is caught up (for the most part), my kids are alive, fed, worn out, and tucked in their beds. I consider that an accomplishment! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Anyway..</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yeah, I did laundry all day because I was a slacker over the weekend and needed to play catch up. Seven loads to be exact and I still have a few here and there things to throw in the wash. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad was in the neighborhood and dropped by for a visit today. I really enjoyed spending time and talking with him. I love him dearly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Dinner, I cooked this Cheesy Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole from Pinterest that I previously blogged about <a href="http://thedunnaways.blogspot.com/2012/06/pinterest-food-finds.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm still not too thrilled about the preparation for this meal and it takes what seems like forever! I think next time I make it I will start preparing a few days ahead. Jason loves it too and I like to keep my man full and happy so I know I'll be making it again. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday, My sister took some some pictures of the kids and they are precious! They had so much fun! Here are a couple that I really adore! </div>

Our weekend was pretty laid back. Actually, I don't think we even left the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Thursday Noah woke up with an upset stomach and by noon he had a fever that wouldn't subside. Finally, by that evening it was gone and hasn't returned. His tummy ache continued on through Saturday but wasn't anything serious. He's just fine now and back to his normal self. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eli has been dealing with the same thing, only worse in the bottom department because he wears a diaper. I couldn't keep that poor baby's butt cleared up. He ran around naked for most of the weekend so things could air out. The brat I'm referring to is him, just kidding, he is one of those, but I'm talking about the BRAT diet. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
And just for a need to know basis...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The BRAT diet can help you recover from an upset stomach or diarrhea for the following reasons:
</div>
<ul>
<li>It includes “binding” foods. These are low-fiber foods that can help make your stools firmer.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It includes bananas, which are high in potassium and help replace nutrients your body has lost because of vomiting or diarrhea.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to follow the diet the best I could but if you know my boys, you know they both LOVE to eat! I'm really not sure if Eli's was a virus or from teething. He's cutting two molars right now so I'm thinking it's more from that. I don't know why my kids get so many teeth all at once!? It was okay with J & N because they were so good while teething but it seems like Eli has been teething for more than half of his life. Like every day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If it was a virus, I'm so thankful that it was quick and didn't do too much damage! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll leave you with a few pictures of Eli that I took yesterday...</div>

This past weekend, Jason and I had uno child and it was sooo nice! I know that sounds terrible, but it was so nice to get a break for a change! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday evening, I took Jaycelyn and Noah to my Grandmother and Aunts house to spend the weekend. I wasn't expecting Jason home until around his usual time of 7-8 pm, but much to my surprise he got off of work early. I was just about to get Eli something to eat when he called to let me know he was on his way home. He was too tired to meet us somewhere to eat so I picked up some O'Charleys To-Go and him a Sanpeggios Greek Chicken Salad (he's obsessed with the things, he could eat them daily). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got home, daddy had us a nice fire going in the fireplace. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Eli kept pointing and saying "HOT" and jumping up and down. The first time we started one, he looked at me almost in tears, pointing to it and mumbling. He knew something wasn't right about it. He's been really good though about not going near it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we got settled in and were deciding on what movie we wanted to watch, Eli and I played around on instagram for a minute...</div>

Saturday, I let Jason catch up on rest and Eli and I headed out to Toy's R Us to do a little Christmas shopping. I don't know what in the world I was thinking going to that crazy house on a Saturday!<br />
Oh wait, that's right I only had one kid! I knew it was now or never!<br />
I can't even begin to imagine what that place is like on Black Friday or right before Christmas!!<br />
I'll just be happy when it's all over with! Can you agree!?</div>

Noah is my hardest child to buy for. Jaycelyn doesn't mind telling you everything she wants. Like this ridiculous pony that costs way too much that yes I bought anyway! I'm still debating on keeping it or not. That is all she keeps talking about and told me, "I totally want one". Ha</div>

Can I just say that I love Pinterest! Kudos to whoever thought of it, You are brilliant! :) I am always cooking new recipes that I pin but this past week I cooked several new recipes that I found. I wanted to share a couple of them with you that we really enjoyed...and trust me when I say, it's pretty hard to please everyone in a family of five! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up is... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cheesy-Chicken-and-Wild-Rice-Casserole-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8455" height="400" src="http://picky-palate.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Cheesy-Chicken-and-Wild-Rice-Casserole-1.jpg" title="Cheesy Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole 1" width="303" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find this recipe <a href="http://picky-palate.com/2010/09/13/cheesy-chicken-and-wild-rice-casserole/" target="_blank">here</a>! This was a very filling hearty meal. A little goes a long way and it serves 8-10 people. I wasn't too fond of the preparation for this meal because it felt like what took forever and there was a good bit of cleanup involved. It was worth it though. I would definitely give it a try! A word of advice though: FIND PREPARED WILD RICE! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up is....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BLT Pasta Salad</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBPF2eYvuvVhPZb6YvNYzSuxd1NlmhKIoDIc9vPvcOPXvA4SQs-94i4OZbxLy2MeTFgwxUaFm68elMTONDR0eddSIu44LYKGbAiJCQb58fWhd_I1b3vH5-24YTy92E9pYSiwNedCwxiM/s400/DSC_5201.JPG" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.abirdandabean.com/2011/06/blt-pasta-salad.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is the recipe, just go ahead and click it, you know you want to! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made this for lunch one day and every bit of it was gone! If you love a good BLT sandwich then you'll love this! It's not really like other pasta salads that taste like pure mayo but it's much smoother and subtle. It calls for sour cream and you know anything with sour cream is pretty much heavenly! The preparation of this meal was very efficient as well and super easy! The only thing I will do different next time is use two packages of bacon instead of one!</div>

And the <a href="http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/2008/02/end-of-chicken-parmesan-as-you-know-it.html" target="_blank">recipe</a>! Let me just say SUPER EASY! I love easy, I mean who doesn't when you live in chaos! This literally consists of putting a few ingredients in a baking dish and putting it in the oven! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason is my go to critic and he decides whether a recipe goes into the book or not. The only thing he said about this was that the chicken was a little bland. Although this IS coming from the King of salt and garlic on everything. I kind of did agree but the chicken was very tender. Next time I think I will cut a few slits into the chicken and marinade it throughout the day before I cook it! </div>

So I've been thinking... I come here to write so that I can clear my head or to reminisce on good times, holidays, or milestones. The thing is...what I need to write about most is what is real. I've decided that from here on out, I will write exactly what I think or feel. I will not sugar coat anything and pretend that every day around here is a walk in the park or give you any false indication that I have everything together because I most certainly don't. I am a Christian, I was raised in church, I believe in what is right and I stand firm on my morals and beliefs but I so need to work on my relationship with God and rely on him more for his guidance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just something I've been thinking about...Probably every time I leave this house I get so many compliments about how beautiful my children are and "how do you do it"? I'm told by so many that I am so blessed and I do know this but why can I see it but not always feel it? Why do I sometimes get down and feel like being a mother is not an important role. I will tell you honestly that I often feel like I am trapped in this role as a wife and mother and I hate it. Like it happened so quickly that I want to blame others (Jason). Like my life was chosen for me. "I have three kids and no life", says the selfish part of me. But by the grace of God and his beautiful creations and a random "I miss you", or hug and kiss from Noah and a sweet soft little "I love you Mommy" from my sweet girl as she curls up in the bed with me early in the mornings and scratches by back for no reason at all. Or my adorable little Eli who just crawls around entertaining himself and gives me the biggest grin with those cute little four teeth he has, I am reminded that to those kids, I am everything and for whatever reason God gave me those beautiful babies to raise and mother. I need to learn to love it because one day it will be gone. I will look back as if I was holding a handful of sand on a windy day. I won't ever get it back. Ever. I can't bottle it up and let it loose after I get my crap together. They will never be this little again. I do not want to live my life with regrets. The choices that I make now will affect me and them forever. The people that they will become, the lifestyle they will live, the choices that they will make, and the way they choose to uphold their own families. When I say that, I think Wow, how can I think my role is not important? I am in charge of three little lives. Not only providing for them and watching over them but teaching them and guiding them in their daily life and the decisions they will make. That is definitely an achievement that will be greatly rewarded by God himself one day and a legacy honored by many. I'm so thankful that I can see and admit what I need to work on. I realize where I fail and what I need to work toward. If there is anything I know I'm doing right, it's that I pray for my children daily. I ask that God will bless them in every aspect of their life. </div>

Since Eli turned 9 months yesterday I wanted to do an update on him. Since the last post I did about him <a href="http://thedunnaways.blogspot.com/2012/05/elis-sitting-up.html" target="_blank">here</a>, he has been all over the place! He started crawling almost immediately after he started sitting up. He loves being able to follow J & N around the house to see what they're getting into. And me too of course!<br />
He doesn't like his jumperoo too much anymore but he is so happy and content sitting on the floor for hours playing with toys. He will even crawl in his room and play by himself, with me secretly observing from a distance of course. <br />
<br />
FYI: Yes I am aware that his shirt is filthy.</div>

Remember that top tooth I was complaining about before? Well here are those better pics I was going to try and get. Only thing now is his twin decided to make it's appearance this week and let's just say I will be so happy when Eli and I can sleep through the night again because he has been miserable and I have been exhausted! Poor baby has been up every hour and just tosses and turns all night. Hopefully things will be better tonight or very soon. I'll get a pic of both of those monster munchers soon. </div>

I also finally bought him a Nuk beginners cup and gave him some juice in it for the first time today. He took right to it with no problem! I didn't have a problem taking the other two off of the bottle but I'm not so sure about this little turd. :) <br />

I've been so busy the last week. I would like to update more often but honestly I'm usually too tired to even upload pictures to my computer. That would explain why I'm uploading 315 pictures at the moment. Then when I do, blogger takes FOREVER to upload the pictures on my blog so I usually have to upload the pictures in advance (because you know, I usually have more pictures than words) and then can't seem to find the time to get back to it soon enough. Anyone on blogger know if I'm doing something wrong or is it like that for everyone?</div>

I'll probably do a few separate posts but I'll start with some of last week...</div>

I was put in charge of doing the get together afterwards. After she walked and received her diploma, I left so that I could get started on setting everything up. </div>

I'm so thankful I had some other help because I never could've pulled it off by myself. I'm too OCD when things don't go as I have it laid out in my head & I really stress out too much about detail and honestly I'm probably the only one who even notices.</div>

Okay, I know you're probably thinking why in the world is she posting a recipe about fried potatoes!? Well the reason I'm posting it is because in my case, it wasn't something that I could just guess on. (maybe that's just me) After cooking them a couple times and they were seriously pathetic, I finally called my mom up and asked her how in the crap to make the things! This I should've done to begin with because I usually do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, that brings me to say, if you're in the same boat that I was, or maybe you've never made them, which I highly doubt, here is the recipe for my mom's fried potatoes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First put 1/2 cup of oil in your iron skillet or non stick pan. I heated the oil on medium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next you cut and wash your potatoes, this is the size that I cut them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then, cut up half of an onion and add to the potatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add your seasonings (salt, pepper, & I added garlic salt). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lightly coat your potatoes with flour. This will help big time if you do not have a non stick pan. </div>

When your oil is hot enough, add your potatoes but try not to add more than a single layer.</div>

I've had this post written since Monday, I just haven't had time to publish it so that's why it's a little late! :)<br />
Our Mother's day plans didn't actually happen on Mother's Day but it was nice because I didn't have to do anything on Sunday. I did help Jason clean the carpets in his truck for a little while but other than that and feeding and changing the kids, I did Nothing! I didn't even make any tea until it was time to eat dinner...and actually I didn't make dinner either, thanks to my mom who cooked chicken and dumplings that Jason went and picked up. Oh, how I love her!<br />
<br />
Saturday we had our mothers, grandmothers, brothers and sisters, etc. over for lunch. Well...let me rephrase that, I had them over. I didn't know that Jason and my dad had other plans to put a transmission in the truck that Jason will be driving back and forth to work now. So...he did that but we all had a good day visiting with one another and they finished up and got to enjoy our company too.<br />
<br />
Well that about sums it up for our Mother's Day! I got a smarty pants card from Jason which was cute and just like him to give me but I know he loves me! It went something like this...<br />
<br />
<b><i>On the front </i></b><br />
The Mother's Day fairy heard that you wanted a day of rest & relaxation, no cooking, cleaning, no errands to run.<br />
<br />
<i><b>On the inside </b></i><br />
She said she does wishes, not miracles!<br />
<i><br /></i><br />
I think<i> </i>that's the best card I've ever gotten! Ha! Can you hear the sarcasm?<br />
I can laugh about it though because I know it's the truth! <br />
I actually got a new camera and computer about two months ago so that was my early Mother's Day gift!<br />
<br />
BUT... <br />
I celebrate Mother's Day every day when I wake up to those three little darlings that call me Mommy! <br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from Saturday....<br />

Since last week or so, we have been in teething HELL! If you've been there then you know why I gave it that glorious description. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eli just had two different antibiotics and a steroid for the croup and an ear infection but has only acted worse since. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is such a happy content baby that it was quite obvious that he wasn't feeling better. I just wasn't exactly sure if his ear was still infected or if he was teething? Even after alternating Tylenol and Advil, he was still waking up every hour to two hours through the night. Even sleeping with us, (which I usually only do when I'm really exhausted and need some sleep, so that I don't have to get up with him all night) he tossed and turned, whined and cried in his sleep, and woke up screaming a few times. :( After last night, the worst by far, I knew this poor baby was just not feeling good at all!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had Jason pick up some teething tablets today because I was pretty sure that's what it was, but then tonight I was assured when I saw this...<br />

It is hard to see, but that is definitely a tooth coming through on his top left. That little white dot is it! I'm so glad because he is already sleeping so much better tonight! I can go to sleep with ease knowing my baby boy is feeling better! I'll try to get some better pictures tomorrow. <br />

The other day, the kids and I went for a very LONG walk through our neighborhood. We started out one way toward the horse farm so the kids could see if any of the horses were out of the stables, since it was a pretty, yet muggy humid day. Our neighborhood makes a big loop, but it is always longer than I remember! Like 2 miles longer! For me, I can handle it! Two toddlers, not so much! Oh, and I was hoping to get some good pictures while we were out and about. Yeah, about that... Someone please tell me exactly what in the world I was thinking!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We saw a turtle first... The kids kept saying it was a snapping turtle but I am most certain that it was not.</div>

We finally made it around to the boat launch and we sat in the shade and cooled off. There was a nice little breeze blowing. It helped, because we were hot and sweaty by this point! </div>

Something else I "thought" I remembered was that the roads were shaded and they definitely were not!<br />

Bella was fixing to stroke out so she stood in the water forever trying to cool off.</div>

Today Jason started a new job! A wonderful job! Something that we have prayed for, for nearly three years. Jason started his previous job a few months before Jaycelyn was born. It was a blessing for us at that time because he was having to change jobs. The problem came when Jaycelyn was a couple of weeks old, he had to start working out of town. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Noah was born 11 months later, he had to leave when he was a week old. Jason's grandmother had also just passed away 3 days after his birth. I had an 11 month old and a newborn. I couldn't even talk to him on the phone because I couldn't get any words out through all of the crying. I was a complete. emotional. wreck! It was a very hard time for us both! My parents did stay with me for a couple of weeks, I don't know what I would've done without them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long story short, it started to become a regular thing and it caused him
to miss Jaycelyn's first birthday, New Year's, his first two Father's
Days, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the kids got older, it was very hard on them, especially Jaycelyn! They couldn't understand why Daddy always had to leave and if they did see him, why it was only for a day or two. There were several mornings when Jason left before dark and I could hear a bloodcurdling scream from Jaycelyn's room as she watched him leave without getting to tell him bye. And I remember the time when she ran to my room screaming and holding his picture saying, daddy loves me so much and he can't give me a hug and kiss when he's at work. Which of course brought me to tears so many times. It's hard to see your children upset and you can't do anything to make them feel better because you feel the same way. Only I was a little better at holding my emotions in but they just brought them out because they acted the way I was feeling on the inside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason continuously looked for another job but nothing ever came through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Eli was born this past August, it was the same thing all over again, except I had a 2 and 3 year old and a newborn! :) Eli was 6 days old when Jason had to leave again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just continued to pray for God to open up a job for him, the right job, somewhere close to home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was six weeks later when we faced another hard decision that we had to put our full faith in God. It was time for me to return back to work but things just weren't adding up. How was I going to work on Saturdays, and find childcare for three kids that was even affordable? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was then that we made the decision that I would not return to work. This was a very hard decision. I had worked this job for seven years. I couldn't help but think, what if Jason doesn't find a new job and work gets slow? We'll have no income at all, with three kids, what will we do!? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well that was in October and around January, work did get slow. Jason has worked very little since then and almost none in the past two months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it is so hard to turn everything over to God. We think that that we have everything figured out but don't realize that God has a bigger and better plan then we could ever dream of! Even though I was so worried about what was going to happen, God never failed us. My kids got to be with their Daddy at home for the past few months and even though he wasn't working, we haven't gone without. God has met every need we've had and even some wants. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago, Jason received an email about a job he had applied for months ago. It was the only response he has gotten from the hundreds of jobs he has applied for. <br />
He went in for an interview, we prayed about it and he got the job! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God didn't answer our prayers right away. It was on his time but my faith is stronger and I fully trust that this is where he wants us to be!</div>

If you follow me on Instagram then you may want to go ahead and close this post because it will probably seriously bore you. I'm a little obsessed, okay maybe a lot obsessed. I usually always have my phone on me so I can always get a good picture at the moment rather than trying to run for the camera. I'm sure you can guess that most of all the pictures I take are of my kids because basically that's all that my life consists of. And more of Eli because he is glued to my hip all day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instagram is a way for me to capture those random little moments in our day to day life through pictures. I thought I'd show you a little bit of what we've been up to.<br />
<br />
I started this post earlier today and I'm just now getting around to finishing it. Eli was trying to eat my computer then. He is teething and putting everything in his mouth at the moment. </div>

Including food, of course! I let him feed himself quite often so that he can get the hang of it. Hopefully earlier than J & N because they both eat like pigs! We've been working on their table manners for quite a while now. I think I might have waited too long to let them start feeding themselves. :-/ What do you think? Would this make a difference or am I just doomed with little piglets forever?<br />
<br />
Eli has tried several new things here recently, the boy loves to eat...if you couldn't already tell? Did I mention he weighs 23 pounds?<br />
Here's his first time eating grits...<br />

Noah has been fully potty trained for a few weeks now and he's doing great with it. The first couple of days we had some accidents but since then we've had only one that is even worth counting. The problem though is the boy doesn't like to wear clothes. It's a constant battle to make him keep his clothes on and to put his underwear back on after he goes to the potty. Although, when he does wear underwear, his crack is usually always hanging out. :/ Oh well you can't win them all right? </div>

Eli hasn't been feeling good for about two weeks now. I called the nurse a couple of times to see if I needed to bring him in, but she didn't really act like it was urgent. I finally took him to the doctor yesterday because I knew this was more than a cold. He wasn't getting better and this had been going on for too long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the doctor checked him out, he said that he had croup and an ear infection. I've been running the vaporizer on full blast at night, rubbing vick's baby rub on him, and giving him cough medicine and tylenol this whole time because at first I thought it was a cold and I was trying to get rid of it quick. I think that's what really helped so much. I would hate to know what he sounded like if I hadn't been doing that. It was also hard to tell if he even had croup because none of my children have ever had it, so I didn't know what it was like and Eli didn't even act sick. He is such a wonderful baby. You wouldn't think he had anything more than a tooth coming through. </div>
