Wow!

So its been since September 09 since my last post.. Boy does time fly... Well needless to say this past year has been very eventful and busy... We moved in January.. We love our new place and I love that I have enough room to go and hide every once in a while.. ha! Ian started a new shift at work this year which sucks. I never get to see him anymore but the money is good.. Guess you have to sacrifice things to get what you want sometimes. For example I have sacrificed my independance to be a stay at home mother .. Actually I am sacrificing 2 things.. Independance AND my sanity... Seriously.. I love my kids dont get me wrong but OOOOO MMMM GGGG do they get on my nerves.. Went and seen Sex and The City 2 with one of my friends last month and this one part Charlotte locks herself in the pantry crying because her kids pushed her over her breaking point and I was like.. "YEAH see that.. That is my life".. lol.. Needless to say my friend who has no children at the moment isnt looking to having any soon.. Im a great method of BC.. Just hang out with me for a while.. lol.. Anyways back to the basics.. Austin gets to start Kindergarden this year.. He is VERY excited. I think I am more excited really but he is pretty stoked. We learned a good lesson this year also. We opened the pool up at the end of April cause we were so excited.. Now I know why people wait till the end of May.. Even though they are nice to look at it sucks looking at it but it being to cold to get in and on top of that the fact that it takes about $100 plus a month to keep the thing clean sucks when you cant use it for a month. Next year we will definatley wait till end of May.. It is nice though to have a pool. I can honestly say I "thought" I would use it every day but after the first month of being in it constantly it gets a little old. Its not so much fun anymore.. Oh.. as of June 19th we have a new addition to the family. His name is Ace and he is a Old English Mastiff.. He is going to be HUGE when he gets a little older but he is a sweetheart. He is so cute and has one heck of a personality. Rocky (Our Boston Terrier) loves having a friend in the house to play with. However when Ace sit on him he gets a little aggrivated.. lol.. Ill attempt to attach pics.. Here in a couple weeks my little man will be 5... Blows my mind that he is growing so fast.. Then in August Kenzie will be 3 which is also crazy... Sadly she cant start school for 3 more years.. Her birthday falls right after the deadline so looks like we will get some great quality time together for a while.. Well I realize why I never get to blog anymore.. I have 2 kids fighting and trying to kill each other and screaming bloody murder, a puppy biting my toes and a cell phone that wont quit.. Soooo im out for now.. Probably will blog again next year..

Love

Ang...

Yeah Yeah I know its been a WHILLLLEEE

Hey everyone... I know what your thinkin "Angie done fell off the face of the earth!" LOL... no actually I havent but I have been busy. Lots going on in the summer... I have lots of stuff to tell you about including some reallllly funny stuff bout the kids.. OF COURSE...

Austin turned 4 in July, we had a "TRANFORMER" theme party at a friend of ours house.. POOL PARTAY!!! anywho, I would have never thought I would have a transformer party of all things cause those stupid things were around when I was a kid.. WIERD! Anyway, it was a sucess and Austin loved it.. Then in August Kenzie turned 2, we didnt have the luxury of a pool party for her, just a very small gathering at our house.. gifts, grilled burgers and hot dogs, and playing in the sprinkler.. yeah kids loved it..

Ian and I have been doing great, enjoying the summer and hanging out with the kids. We didnt get our vacation we wanted but maybe next year. WE WILL take a vacay soon, out of MO hopefully.. LOL.. I dont remember if I wrote since our anniversary but we celebrated our 10 years in June.. Yeah loooong time.. Cant believe it myself, SHOCKER... I cant believe he put up with me that long.. Know what Im sayin?? :)

Now to the fun stuff......

The other night I lay in bed reading a book and relaxing, Ian was in the living room playing his PS3 (usualy night at our house) The kids were in Austins room playing.. Ian went and checked on them cause any time our house is quiet there is SOMETHINg goin on.. You just dont understand my kids.. I mean... geeez they are something else.. Anywho, Ian runs into the bedroom and is laughing so hard he could hardley contain himself. So Im like "WHHHHAT, Im in a good part of my book!" So he motions for me to come into Austins room and be quiet.. So I play along thinking the whole time its probably something simple and Ian made a big deal out of nothing.. I WAS SOOOOOO wrong.. I walk in to find that Bonnie and Clyde had cardboard white tubes on all thier fingers (that would be 20) cardboard cylinders with strings on thier fingers.. They were enjoying these things.. Yeah so I freak out. Apppppaaarently, they found my box of tampons in the bathroom, took them to the bedroom and opened every one of them. They proceeded to put them on thier fingers like some kind of... ughh I dont even know.. I was furious. yes I was laughing but still.. Do you know how expensive those things are? I dont understand what would posess them to do that.. Grandma found it hillarous..

Sometimes I wonder how Im going to make it through raising a son.. McKenzie is easy, I know what to expect from her since Im a girl myself.. plus I never was around boys when I was little except Greg who was never around (aheemmm and still isnt) anyways, Austin is like a little puppet and if you laugh at something he says or does he will continue to make your life hell by re hashing it constantly.. For example... Im sitting on the couch watching TV a couple days ago and Austin is with me, being all sweet and stuff... then he looks at me VERY serious and says "Mommy you knwo hwo to scare a bee?" Well I should have seen it coming BUT he is 4, he wouldnt know something like this so I humor him and expect him to say something adorable and smart. "What scares a bee Austin?" Before I could finish my response he grabs my boobs and screams "BOOOOO BEEEE" and bursts into laughter.. I was SO shocked... I couldnt believe my 4 year old knew this little joke.. So immidietly I asked where he learned that from.. I expected for him to say my inlaws cause they sometimes dont catch on to the fact that there are things I DO NOT want my son to know.. (HE IS 4) anyways, he looks at me all proud and says "PAWPAW" ..... WHAT? my father is teaching my SON (who is 4) about boobs??? OMG, thought I was going to die!!! Having a son is something else, not to mention the fact that he is a flasher, When he starts school next year Im sure Ill be called to the school daily to pick him up.. Im SURE he will be the disruptive class clown.. *sigh* oh well he is precious.. I cant imagine however what kind of teenager this child is going to be...

McKenzie is my little princess, she likes pink, dolls, crowns, calls herself a "pwinthess" and loves to wear little dresses, then on the other side of things she is a messy child, loves to dig in the dirt, tear stuff apart, and is straight up tomboy.. She also will be the next American idol. granted it will be around season 25 but still.. lol.. she looooove to sing.. Everything from row row row your boat, to Lady Gagas Poker Face.. She is also a cheerleader, she has a nuber of cheers she says while jumping up and down.. For those who havent had the pleasure of getting to know this girl I cant wait till the christmas get together for you to meet her.. OMGsh, she is a mini me..

Well my fingers are starting to cramp up and Im exhausted and need sleep.. Hope all is well with everyone I will will try to get on here more often now that summer is coming to an end,,, love you all and see ya soon...

REFLECTION

Well tomorrow is mine and Ians 10 year wedding anniversary and after 10 years I have learned quite a few things.. Figured I would share...

No matter who you are when you get married and the whole "Your now united as one thing" is a little tricky.. In the beginning not a day went by that I didnt want to strangle my husband! The little simple things he would do would drive me mad and make me wonder why in the WORLD did I get married.... I mean seriously why would he do some of those annoying little things that he KNEW would drive me crazy??? I think he did it as a test... I remember we fought soooo much that everyone expected us not to last a year.. However, we were determined to not have a failed marriage and face it we were just kids.. I was only 17 and he was 19 so we didnt know crap when it came to being out on our own.. I remember how stressed out it was to try and figure out what a personal property tax was... Half was through our marriage we knew we were soul mates.. Since we had got to spend time together as a couple we knew it was time to start a family.. I found that once we had Austin I saw things in my husband that I never saw before. And having our first child made my love for him grow sooo much.. Even though we wanted to pull our hair out when we didnt get any sleep and we would beg one another to get up with him in the middle of the night (me usually loosing and having to do it).. At that point though my love for him turned into a type of love that is never ending.. For him to be such an amazing daddy and take care of our son soooo carefully.. Its amazing.. Well then we had little miss Kenzie.. And once again the love grew even more.. The little things he did and still does that use to drive me so crazy is really nothing anymore. I guess you learn to ignore the petty things and focus on the important things in life.. He works so hard to provide for the family and sometimes gets nothing in return.. He spends his weekends off with the kids while I work, not because he doesnt have a sitter because usually his mother offers to watch them. But because he loves our children so much he cant stand to be without them to long. He treats me like a princess and caters to me even though I can be soooo vicous at times. He tells me how beautiful I am every day even when I KNOW he is lying.. If you ever seen me wake up with my mascara smeared all over my face you would understand exactly what Im talking about.. LOL... He calls me a thousand times a day not to check up on me but just to talk to me because he would rather talk to me than anyone else. Even though I usually rush him off the phone because I HATE talking on the phone. I am the luckiest girl in the entire world to have found someone so caring, loving, determined, and faithful! Sometimes I think I forget how lucky I am.. I thank God every day for my family! I have the most precious gift in the world and even though I stress about the material things in life sometimes NOTHING is better than the love that my family shares. God had given me a gift and I pray that everyone in the world can experience the love I have in my life.. I can honestly and truly say The last 10 years have been the most exciting, amazing and happy years of my life. Thanks to my amazing husband Ian Haynes!!! I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH baby.. Im your #1 fan for the rest of our lives!

Back in the Saddle

Hey everyone

I know Im writing again so soon!! SHOCKER right?? Anyways, hope everyone is doing wonderful! Were all doing great.. Everyone in the family should be getting my letter if you havent already.. Hope you all enjoy it! We have been enjoying the weather here. All except the rain of course.. For some reason my son is obessed with thunderstorms.. He watches the weather channel by choice every night and tells us where there is a thunderstorm brewing. Such a sharp little guy! He cracks me up sometimes with the things he comes up with. McKenzie is just as amusing with her little comments..

Grandma wanted me to let everyone know about what she did the other day at the home. She is such a looney toon its not even funny. Apparently she decided to get up and dance.. Yeah I know, GRANDMA!!! They were playing music and the song "the twist" came on and she got up, and shook it! She had a blast! She even told me that she hasnt had that much fun in years.. Im so happy she is feeling good! She has lost alot of weight and that has helped her to get around and have more energy than she use to! She called me laughing and telling me allll about it! Be sure to call her, she is a hoot to listen to..

We bought a new toy the other day.. IF anyone hasnt played Rockband 2 yet, its AMAZING! Me and Ian play it all the time now.. Im the singer and he plays guitar! Were on tour right now.. Its alot of fun and I LOVE to sing!!

Well I cent think of anything else to write about right now... Im a little jealous of April and Amy for getting to spend the week on the beach but other than that... :) J/K... I would seriously love to go sometime though... Well TTYL Love you all

Its been a while

Hey everyone.. I know it has been forever since I posted. I have been enjoying spring/summer.. I love this weather! It makes you want to get out there and enjoy every day! The kids are at an age now where they enjoy the outdoors so we try to take them out and play. Which they cant play here at our house because our yard sucks but we go everywhere else.. Austin went out on the boat with Ian for the first time yesterday.. I didnt get to go cause we didnt have a sitter for Ms Kenzie and I dont trust her being out on the boat yet. She is toooo fearless.. We went to a friends house and took the kids in the pool Austin is still a little leary of the water and too scared to get all the way in but Kebzie would dive off the edge if I let her.. I gorra keep a tight rope on that girl.. The kids are doing great though.. They are getting soooo big and precious.. Kenzie has a little attitude which I Ian has been working looong hours and really seems to be exhausted at times. He has made the decision to go to line haul next year.. It will help us as far as in buying a house which is our #1 goal right now. I will be quitting Hastings next year also so that Ill be home more. Life is good and things are going great.. Grandma seems to be feeling really good latley! Now Ians Grandpa on the other hand isnt so good. They found out he has Prostate cancer and it has moved up into his back. They put him in the same nursing home with Grandma temporarily until this coming wed actually. He is in bad shape so please keep him in your prayers. I was on vacation last week and did my spring cleaning I have bags and bags of kids clothes for a yard sale. Im thing of a fall sale since most of the clothes I found was winter clothes. I hope everyone is doing great and I miss you all... Ill try to write more and not be such a stranger. Love you all

Ang!

Its been a while

I know... Its been forever since I posted but hey I have been super busy latley. Between work, kids and hubby its always a mad house around here anymore.. Since summer is coming up pretty quick I started tanning so that I dont blind people when Im out in the sun.. Im sooo pale! How is this possible when my father looks like he could be Mexican? Just sayin! Anyways, Im kinda burnt right now so that is VERY frustrating but it will turn tan soon enough.. Kids are good! Kenzie is going through a new stage! The DRESS up stage! I love this stage cause its sooo cute.. She got some of those plastic heels and so now she walks around in a tshirt, diaper, big pink sunglasses, huge necklaces, headband, and heels and carrys one of my purses. Its adorable! The problem is Austin sees the attention she gets from it and thinks he want to dress up too.. How do you explain drag queen to a 3 year old?? LOL.. I try to get him to wear his fireman hat or something so he dont feel left out! Last Friday when the storms hit Ian and I went to Cape and wasa t Best Buy.. Next thing you know its gets dark, winds blowing, pouring rain and hailing!! Electric goes off (which is reeeeeeeealllly scarry in an electronics store) so we all are told to come up front.. (you know by the big glass windows in fron of the store) Just when we get up there the Tornado (or as Austin says Tortano) sirens go off.. I FREAKED OUT! They told us to go to the safe zone which is by the bathrooms. I was proudly the very first one there even before the employees! I called Daddy and was FREAKIN OUT! He thought is was funny! How messed up is that? Anyways were alive.. Thats all good.. Well I just heard thunder so here some another storm TTYL

love
Ang

BTW CHRIS SHOULD HAVE WENT HOME NOT DANNY!!!!

wowzers

Oh where shall I begin???

First of all its been a crazy last couple of weeks.. I changed my hair again and workin towards being a blonde.. You know cause they have more fun and all.. LOL.. No really its summer so I like going lighter when its warm and sunny out! Well I also thought I would try this stuff called Dove natural tanner lotion stuff... OH BOY! At first I was loving it because it was making me look tanner since Im albino and all... Well I guess I went a little too crazy with it, now Im in the first stages of turning into an Umpa Lumpa like off Willy Wonka.. Im trying to let it go away now since I cant wear flip flops cause I look like I have been playing in red mud! I havent been working as much at Hastings cause I think I complained enough about working too many hours.. Now Im missing the money and OUCH thats hurts let me tell ya! Kids have been interesting the last 2 weeks. I think Kenzie has hit full blown terrible twos however when Austin turned 2 I dont remember him having such a little attitude.. My daughter is a diva drama queen let me tell ya! She has these facial expressions that you wouldnt normally see on a 2 year old.. She even bobbled her head and me the other day... I was like "OH I KNOW YOU DIDNT" Im having problems with her and Austin fighting but I know you guys think Im joking or being dramatic but they are going to serisouly kill each other. Like today she was eating a cocoa puff outta his bowl and he ran up to her, shoved her down and she got up and tried to bite him on the back. I told her no so she stopped trying to bite but then Austin hit her, so she smacked him upsode the head then he tried to hit her again... Sooooo I had to spank them and seperate them both... They are driving me insane! She doesnt bite ANYONE but him, and he annoys the living daylights out of her and makes her so made she tells him off and goes after him.. She isnt scared of anything. So if anyone has advise please let me know the secret to peace in my house! LOL... Well today I got crapped on, I was on my way into today and Kenzie told me she pooped but I thought oh ill change her when we get to the sitters I didnt know however she had a full blown BLOWOUT! When I got her out of the carseat it was running down her legs into her socks and alllllllll over my arm.. I had to take her in and hose her off.. That was gross.. If it had been Ian he would have lost it and probably been sick! I guess I have a little bit stronger stomach! I love this weather but I dont like the critters and creatures that come with it... I went out to my car the other day and almost stepped on a snake.. It was dark grey, wide flat head and was fixing to strike me but THANK GOD I seen it, I went back inside and wouldnt go back to the car till it was gone. I dont know what kind it was, Grandma said it sounds like a cottonmouth but I dont care its a snake! and I have killed like a million spiders over the last 3 days.. Like the wolf jumping big ones... OMG I HATE spiders.. I am thinking about making my own reality TV show.. I think I would have AWESOME ratings... What do you think?? LOL.. Well since its like 1 in the morning Im going to bed now.. I just wanted to update everyone on whats happenin in my world... Nobody has posted anything for a while so you all need to get on the ball already!! Well TTYL

Love
Ang...

Kids trivia questions...

Boy was this interesting to do with a 3 and 1 year old.. Thanks Aunt Kay.. LOL.. Of course since Austin doesnt watch Sesame Street I had to kinda tweak it a bit to get an answer of out him instead of a blank look on his face... I understand if those answers dont count..

Austin...

1) What color is big bird? He dont know who that is so I pointed at some peeps and asked what color they were? YELLOW!!! YAY!
2) Spongebob flat pants? Of course not! Austin loves Spongebob Squarepants he got this one right off the bat!
3) Do cars have 3 wheels? This one was easy.. He counted the wheels on one of his hotwheels and said "umm no, 4 wheels"
4) Whats the name of Elmos goldfish? I dont even know this one, LOL.. I made him at least guess and guess what he came up with "NEMO" LOL hey at least he tried!
5) Oscar the Grouch is blue? Yes or No? Well he dont know Oscar, sooo I asked if the grass was blue? he said no.. Thats as good as it gets folks..

McKenzie..

Yeah this was the real fun part.. She sure jabbers alot but 75 percent of what she says you cannot understand. The only words that are super clear are (No, Stop it, Brudder, Drink, Eat, Leave me alone etc..) So at one point I gave up..

1) ?
2) I sang "who lives in a pinapple under the sea???" and she said SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! YAY!!! Teamwork.. LOL
3) ?
4)?
5)?

Well hope this helps... ttyl

Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Here is a picture of my babies with thier Easter outfits on.. We went and had family pics taken yesterday which I am VERY excited about. We have NEVER had a actually family picture done of all of us.. There is also some of just the kids playing and holding REAL bunnies... Ian and Austin wanted to take one since they were free and they were giving them away. HOWEVER!! I dont think so! Church this morning was awesome.. The program was one of the best I think I have ever seen... Our church drama team is REALLLLY good.. Makes me want to be a part of it.. Then after church we headed to the inlaws for lunch!! YUMMY! Thats where the kids got thier Easter baskets from us, Austin stayed last night with mama and papa and I forgot to send the basket home with them sooooo thats how that went.. The kids really liked thie Easter baskets.. Kenzie of course wanted all of Austins stuff along with hers.. THAT was interesting.. Austin hunted Easter eggs inside this year cause it was too cold and rainy to hunt them outside.. Kenzie had no interest in finding eggs.. Just eating her candy!


This week has been a blur really.. Lots to do and I havent had time to think much... I was REALLY worried about grandma but she is recovering GREAT! She is already home which makes me feel 1000 percent better. So like I said this week has been nuts.. ..

Austin says hello.. He is on my lap asking me every 2 seconds of Im done yet... So im gonna cut this short. Im really tired and I got a ton of stuff to do... TTYL

Love Ang..

OH YEAH!!! Forgot to mention

Okay so if your a movie nut like I am here is the latest on the new movies I have seen..

Marley and Me.. GREAT movie... BUT I bawwwllled like a baby.. but good movie!

Seven Pounds.. Really good.. once again BAWLED!

Bedtime Stories.. ADORABLE!! Good movie for kids... Its really funny and clean!

A whole weeks worth...

Well its been an interesting week so I really didnt have time to write anything therefore I didnt.. Lets see where shall I begin...

Work.. I really am getting tired of the 2 job thing. Its wearing on me and not in a good kinda way.. I never get to sleep and I feel like Im going 100 mph every day..

example... Wake up, get kids dressed and shoes on, get myself dressed do hair and makeup.. Get Kenzies shoes on again since she took them off while I was getting ready.. Bundle them up and get them to the car.. Go to babysitters (whoever it is for that day) take them in to babysitters (not before putting Kenzies shoes on again becuase once she got in the truck she took them off again) drop off kids and go to salon.. work at salon till 5pm, leave salon and go straight to Hastings, work at hastings from 5:30 to closing at 10:30ish (Fri and Sat its 11:30ish).. Come home, try to wind down (everyone is sleeping unless Austin took his nap early and is wide awake coming into the living room every 2 seconds asking for something..) finally wind down about 1am, go to bed... Wake up at 8ish the next am and start all over again.. See what I mean?? Going nuts here. Luckily I dont have to work at Hastings EVERY night.. I am off Wed, Thur and Sun nights... whoohoo.. Tonight was a bad night.. I had some guy come in and talk to me like I was a dog.. Needless to say I told him I couldnt help him (with my great kiss my butt attitude!) I could tell I made him mad and he'll probably call in on me.. BUT I DONT CARE... Just because he talks to him wife like that doesnt mean he can talk to me that way.. I am NOT scared of any man!!! I will run over them and not think twice about it!!! Anyways... Cant wait till Salon gets going really good so I can quit.. I miss my babies.. :(

I am sooooo happy Megan got voted off American idol.. She got on my nerves SO bad.... GO GOKEY!

Austin is doing awesome with his potty training.. He has had a couple accidents but heck he loves underwear now.. Matter of fact my in laws tought him how to pee on tires and BOY does he think that is cool... LOL... Last night we came home from the in laws and Ian put him in our bed (my side of the bed) and let him nap.. WELL... When we were going to bed a little bit later Ian says "Oh crap I forgot to put a pull up on him while he was asleep" greeaatt... So I go in there and sure enough he peed the bed MY SIDE!!! So I clean him up, put him on a pull up and while Im stripping the sheet and such he yawns and said "I told you I needed a diaper!!" It was very cute ... I responded by saying "You told me nothing buddy, we were sleeping!" Then today I dropped the kids off at my babysitters house about 9:30ish.. she told me Amberlynn her 10 month old was at the dr office with her daddy cause she wasnt feelin good.. No fever or anything but whinney and she thought it was another ear infection.. She promised to call and let me know if it was anything serious becuase she knows that if her kids are sick then I will come get mine cause I cant deal with sickness... So about 10:30ish she calls me at work to tell me Amberlynn has RSV.. So I freak out.. She tells me not to worry cause her husbad wasnt going to bring her home till I picked up Austin and Kenzie... Whew... good thing.. So I had to go get them.. The thing was I had nobody else to watch them and I had a haircut scheduled for 11am.. Tawana said she would watch them while I did my appointment.. I was worried... I know how my children are! BUT they really suprised me, they were VERY good... Austin made best friends with Tawana, however Kenzie wasnt impressed,.. At one point Austin had to pee so Tawana took him to the bathroom and Kenzie went with them.. Kenzie got mad at Tawana for something, (I think Tawana told her to do something) anywho Kenzie slapped her and then she told her "stop it!" and rolled her eyes.... My little girl has an attitude... But anywho Tawana and Austin bonded anyway... LOL

This week Austin gets to go to the Circus on Thursday...
Stay the night with mama and papa on Saturday
Easter egg hunt on Sunday

Lots to do this week.. Matter of fact I havent had a chance to "talk" to the Easter bunny yet... Mommy is a slacker... Maybe Ill do that Wed night....

Well thats about all this past week... Lots of fun!!! I am however REALLLY looking forward to Saturday April 18th... Ian and I havent went out on a date and did ANYTHING with friends in years... SOOO I took off from Hastings the 18th.. Ian and I are going to dinner then some friends are going with us Cosmic Bowling... I CANT WAIT!!!! I even have a babysitter for BOTH.. not 1 but BOTH kids.... YAY!!!! I feel young again... LOL!!!!

TTYL

Here are some more pics of the kids over the past week. Arent they just precious???

Love
Ang

Im off tomorrow YAY!

Im soooo looking forward to tomorrow. Not becuase I can laze around and do nothing but I have so much housework etc to do. I am hoping to find someone to watch Bonnie and Clyde while I go through thier rooms and get rid of some toys. Thier rooms are overflowing!!! Also I HAVE to got through thier cloths and see where I stand on summer stuff.. Time to spring clean I guess. Ian has to fix our driveway cause since the ice storm, rain and all that there is a HUGE rut in the drive.. Luckily my SUV and his jacked up truck can handle it. I had a good day at the show which was well needed and a crazy busy night at Hastings. Im excited that Tuesday "Marley and Me" will be released. I gotta rent it, I think it will be really cute.

After a long day/night at work I came home, walked in the house and almost turned around because I thought I was at the wrong house LOL. My sweet hubby cleaned today! I was/am VERY excited. Granted he left the dirty work for me but who cares. Im very thankful..

It was a nasty day here today, it got cold after a week of 60-70 degree weather and it rained for the most part of the day.. I would have loved just another day of warmth before it turned cold again. No wonder why everyone is sick around here.

The kids really havent done anything out of the ordinary the last couple days. Just the same ol fighting, and funny stuff they do every day.

Well since nothing else has been going on Ill TTYL

Love
Angie

Peace and Quiet!!! Poor mom and dad.. LOL

Well today was Ians 29th birthday and he is feeling it. LOL Almost 30.. uhohh... Anywho we celebrated by going to his moms and eating cake. Then took Austin to mom and dads to stay the night. So its quiet in this house and thats wierd! I got to watch American idol all the way through without interuptions every 2 seconds.. Here is whats been going on in my wonderful crazy life the past week.

POOP???

We have been working with my stubborn son forever on potty training and even though the kid knows he is suppose to potty on the big boy potty he continued to make me crazy by going in his pull ups.. So finally I took moms advise (and yes she was right) I just stopped the pull ups and put him in underwear and told him he has to use the big potty or hell pee and poop all over himself. That was 3 days ago and he has used the potty every since. Not 1 accident, Im soooooo proud of him. Of course he wears a pull up to bed just in case but first thing in the morning he wants his big boy underwear on again.. The only down fall happened today. Now remember this is all new to us so we were not PREPARED for this.. Let me walk you through what happened. Austin is very independant and refuses help most of the time in everything he does. So he decides he has to go potty, so he goes in there by himself, goes potty comes out and we realize he didnt "wipe" very good.. So after taking care of that issue I go to the bathroom to make sure he didnt make a mess and oh boy!!! He had apparently thought he needed to use a roll of toilet paper and put it in the toilet. He did however flush which would have been great besides the fact there was ton of toilet paper in the toilet. So therefore when I go in there the toilet is running over.. LITERALLY.. Ian had to turn the water off, had to mop up the water and plunge the toilet. After that crazyness Austin says "otay its not runnin over anymore, were good" So without scolding him, in a very nice way we told him if he has to go #2 tell us so we can take care of the wiping and flushing... Hopefully we dont have to go through that again.

Boogers???

Okay so the other night Austin and Ian were in bed (I was on here) anyways Austin picked a booger and said "Daddy get this booger" so Ian goes and gets a tissue and asks Austin where it is.. Austin said "I sorry dada I dropped it in the covers" YEAH the covers.. So my husband who can handle blood and gore cant deal with boogers at ALL. I think he about lost it!

Psyco???

McKenzie has turned pysco on Austin this week. She is constantly slapping him or punching him for no reason whatsoever and of course Austin is a tattle tail. He will provoke her just to get her in trouble. She has gotten lots of whoopins over the past couple days let me tell ya.. She is so precious though! She is the prettiest little thing and she knows it.. I cant wait for the family to meet her!

Rested!!!!

As far as I go, I only had/have to work 3 nights this week so I am finially getting some sleep... The dark puffy circles under my eyes that my Arbonne eye cream wouldnt take care of are finally disappearing!!! YAY! Im starting to feel like a human again. I made a joke to my co workers Monday night that I dressed up like a vampire for 1 night last Friday and now I really look like one!

Here are another pic that I took today of Kenzie.. Her hair is getting so long and pretty.. If she can just keep the food out of it long enough that is..





































Luv yuns

Pics

Here are a couple more pics... Mom is going to kill me but here is one of Kenzie.. Mom looks rough but Kenzers is adorable!!!

A loooooong week!

Boy has it been a crazy week!!! After the hairshow I came home andworked my butt off! The Twilight party was a huge success!!! There was about 600 people in the store, some dressed up (including me) I did vampire makeup for about 2 hours then handed out the movies and checked out a the front of the store... Here are some pics!!

Here I am dressed as Alice with Edward and Bella!!!

Here I am running from the vampires... LOL

It was a great night but I was VERY sleepy... Didnt leave work till about 2:30 AM... Then had to get up go to work at the Salon and back to Hastings at 5:30 till 11:30... Today is my blah day!!! Grannny is in the hospital so I got up and went to see her and dropped the kids off at my in laws for the day!!! So I am relaxing at last!!!

Bonnie and Clyde...... Oh boy!

Ian said yesterday they got in thier first actualy fist fight... Kenzie started it!! NOT SUPRISED!!! They are somethin else.. Austin is learning how to write his numbers and letters and doing an awesome job.. At first Ian thought I drew them for him but I really didnt even help him... I wrote them down so he knew what they looked like and that was it... He is so smart....

Well not a whole lot has happened so I guess Ill end this here. Going to post more pics in a sec in a new blog entry.. TTYL

Love

Here is Austins first snowman from this past January.. He is bundled up and warm but I didnt have gloves to fit him (he had to wear Nina's) so he looks like he has alien hands... Didnt matter anyway I actually made the stupid snowman with his supervision.. He told me exactly what to do!!!

Here is my favorite picture of Kenzie!!! Its a little older but those eyes are beautiful arent they??

PICS from the hairshow and stuff!!!

Here are just a couple pics from the hairshow!!!

Theres no place like home "Click-Click"

Well I am back and VERY happy that I am.. Oh do I have some stories from the weekend.. Let me begin.

Saturday-

After a long day of appointments back to back I was VERY tired. The good news was that I took off Saturday night from Hastings so I could spend time with the fam before my trip! So after work I had to do the usual "before a trip" duties.. Go to bank, fill up the gas tank, go to Kmart and buy little shampoo and toothbrush holders etc.. When I got home my baby girl was already asleep! I thought for sure she would wake up before I went to bed but nope, she was out so I didnt even get to see her before I left :-(
When I got home I had to do laundry, pack and all that so I didnt end up going to bed till like 2am after it was all said and done..

Sunday

After not hearing the alarm cloack I woke up to my husband telling me the girls would be here in like 20 minutes.. I was like OH CRAP! So I jumped up got ready in a hurry and waiting outside for them.. Then about 6am we were off to the LU! I drove till we got to Festus becuase I wont go past that point! Even though I was tired I made it thank goodness.. We didnt get lost till the exit to the Arch! We were in the wrong lane so we came in from behind downtown! But my great internal GPS got us to the hotel, even though we took a couple one ways the wrong way to get there.. LOL.. Went to the show and hit the bargain barn which is our term for "discount/clearance shopping" Lots of GREAT deals and bought alot of products I needed.. My buy of the day was my Affirm relaxers for $1.00 a piece.. HECK YEAH!! After spending 3 hours in line for the bargain barn and finishing up our shopping we had a TON of really heavy bags so we took them to the car and decided to go ahead and check into our hotel... Okay so HERE is where things went to crap!!!! We go to check in at the hotel and check in time is 4:00pm! REALLY??? since when? so we had the hotel hold our bags and decided since we were starving we would eat at the Bar and grill inside the hotel... OMG! Has anyone every watched Boiling Point?? I seriously thought I was on the show... Let me give you a play by play..

12:15pm- In line waiting to be seated at the resturant that only has about 3 tables that have customers sitting at them... Fairly empty place...

12:35pm- Still waiting to be seated, Oh wait a minute here comes the waiter guy.. "sit anywhere you want" he says... SERIOUSLY??? 25 minutes for that???

12:36pm- 1 table that didnt have plates with half eaten food on them that wasnt yet cleared off. This one particuar table only had a tray with 6 glasses for full drinks that were watered down and sticky stuff on the table and no silverware or ashtray.. So we stand there waiting for it to be cleaned...

12:46pm- Still standing... Angie VERY upset by this time... Angie cleans table herself and goes to bar to retrieve ashtray... Complaining very loudly about the service...

1:00pm- Ladies behind us give us extra silverware not used from thier table and wish us luck on the service.. Where is the waiter??????

1:15pm- Waiter comes by and asks if we need a menu... REALLY???

1:25pm- We get the menu

1:40pm- Waiter comes to take order.. (I wanted onion straws and toasted ravioli)

1:45pm- Angies out of cigarettes so Angie and Danielle decide to walk across the street to the car to get my new pack.. When walk outside there are a bunch of scottish people in kilts singing and chanting stuff like leprachans, all dressed in green.. WIERD I though.. So when were crossing back across the street this stupid little BMW that looked JUST like Austin powers (blue with the white X thing on it) flys around the corner going like 45mph and almost ran over us!!! The leprachans were laughing at us!!! GRRRRRRRRR.


2:00pm- Still nothing... Angie gets madder and goes to bar agin to ask for our drinks... Gets them and brings them back to the table..

2:15pm- Whitney gets her food, no potatoes but extra onion rings.. This was after the waiter took it to 2 other tables thinking it was thier food... He asks us all again what did you order? I told him again "I wanted onion straws and toasted ravioli"

2:35pm- Danielle gets her food, Tawana gets hers but needs sourcream and its actually wrong becuase she wanted chicken NOT beef but we dont have ALL day.. then he asks me again "what did you order ma'am?" So I tell him again for the 3rd time now "I wanted onion straws and toasted ravioli"

2:40pm- Bar tender comes and says "so everything is okay and you all have everything??" Now dont forget IM sitting here with NO food... hmmm does it really take a genius? so I respond. "NO, everything is NOT good... I STILL do not have my food!" so guess what she asks.... any guesses??? "What did you order ma'am?" I roll my eyes and reply again in a (12 days of christmas tune) "I wanted onion straws and toasted ravioli" she leaves for whatever reason...

2:50pm- The waiter comes by and I stop him to ask about my food... "what did you order again??" he asks... "I wanted onion straws and toasted ravioli" I swear if I get asked again Im going to kill someone!!!!

3:00pm- Here comes the waiter guy with guess what???????????? MY TOASTED RAVIOLI!!!!!!! but guess what was missing??? So he says "was there someone else? I think I missed something" I responded with "NOPE! this is fine, I dont want the stupid onion straws!!!" At this point Im SOOOOO furious I am not even hungry.. So I guess he got the idea we were all a little mad so he says "Ladies everyones meal is on me, there wont be any charge!" Were all like well no crap even if you all tried you werent getting any money from us!

Im am NOT kidding about this in any way shape or form!!! Could you IMAGINE??? OMG we seriously thought we were on a TV show! If we were so tired and didnt care to pay $15 to park again we would have just went someone else but there wasnt a whole lotta options unless we wanted to go down by the arch which I wasnt crazy for the idea!!! Anywho, this was just the start of it all... Then when we went back to check into our hotel they tried to give us the wrong room.... Our remote didnt work so we called room service and it took them 3 hours to get us a new remote.. The elevater got stuck.... Its was INSANE! Needless to say about 6ish we ordered Imos, ate, and went to bed... We were the livley bunch let me tell ya!


Monday

Woke up around 8:30, well thats when I GOT up I got woke up alot through the night from Whitneys snoring LOL! anywho, got ready and Tawana and I went to the hairshow. Danielle and Whitney stayed at the hotel becuase Danielle wasnt ready yet.. We got lots of good deals at the hairshow.. My buy of the day was at Matrix! (It was Biolage Hydra Therapie Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave in Creme, and styling gel in a really cute bag for $16.20) Anywho, we watched a couple shows and when we were at the Big Sexy show we got a call from Danielle telling us it was important we meet her at the escalators, so were like.. OK! Well here is the deal with part 2 of our sucky weekend...

Apparently, when Danielle was staying the night with Whitney Saturday night so we could leave early AM Sunday her house burned down... Her mother was trying to keep this from her till she got back today because she didnt want to ruin Danielles weekend.. (BTW-Danielle lives at home) Danielle found out because her little brothers school called her to try to find out how to get ahold of her mom to let her know they have some families who could help her... Danielle was like help?? for what? and the lady tells Danielle well since you all lost everything... Danielle again says WHAT? what are you talking about? The lady then says you know since you house burned down? Danielle was like My house didnt brun down.. At this point the lady realized she made a boo boo and said oh, well Im sorry I must have been mis informed... So now Danielle is confused and calls her mom and work and finds out the House caught on fire Saturday night, The dog woke up her parents, they had to jump out of thier bedroom window and the house burned to the ground.. She lost EVERYTHING... So she was a total basket case on the way home.. I feel so bad for her and I dont know what to even say.. I cant imagine how that would feel... She is only 21 and has had a heck of alot of random stuff happen to her in her life... So anyways that was about it, we went ahead and left the hairshow, stopped at South County mall so she could buy her a couple outfits the with money she DID have and came home...

Okay so there was my GREAT weekend... Now lets get back to the basics..

Bonnie and Clyde... hmmmm.. I got a good one!

Mom kept Kenzie and Austin last night so Ian could go to work at 4am this morning since I was outta town.. Well today I got a call that Austin was crying, broke out in a cold sweat and his back was hurting... So mom took Kenzie to Ians grandmas house and she went ahead and took Austin to Kneibert Clinic.. Ok so I owe Kneibert money from the car accident 2 years ago which I refuse to pay becuase that is NOT my problem... anyways, Mom took him and they made her pay $100 to see him "since I owe them money" the doctor looks at his ears and nose and that was it... Mom was like.. "No, he needs to be checked out" so even though the doctor was a butt head about it he did X rays and a urine test.. Austin apparently didnt like the x-rays at all... When the did the urine tes they had to tape a bag to his pee pee to collect the urine. He couldnt go at first so he told them "I cant betause its broken" (My son thinks if something doenst work then it broken or needs batteries!) in this case since he couldnt pee he thought his pee pee was broken... Anyways, he finially started to pee and told mom "I think its workin" he is so funny!!! Anyways, after going through ALL of that they proceed to tell mom they cant actually give the results to the test till she pays another $150.00... So mom got a little angry and went off on them.. Needless to say she didnt pay them anything else and I have a appointment with his pedi next week... Soo now Im out ANOTHER $100 for NOTHING!!!!! not counting what Ill have to pay the Pedi next week...

Mckenzie... Bonnie.... hmmmm

What can I say about my little sweet girl??? she was SO excited to see me! I woke her up and she opened her eyes and said! HI MOMMY! then wrapped her arms around my next as tight as she could... Ian said yesterday Austin pushed her down and she had enough.. So she got his foam baseball bat (which isnt TOOO hard) and whopped Austin in the nose with it.. She thought it was halarious, but Austin was VERY upset... I have told Austin a thousand times one day Sissy is gonna get him back... I think he is starting to figure that out! She gives him warnings.. "Bruder, top it!!!!"

Well since I wrote a book Ill let you go! Im posting some hairshow pics here soon.. Love you all and happy ST PATTYS, just dont dress like leprachans and sing on the street... LOL
