Well... Syler's dirtbike experienced it's first wreck tonight and it wasn't by Syler. I decided to give it a try. Got on with full confidence. Got it started. Let off the clutch... pulled back the throttle... and ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I popped TWO wheelies... that's right, not just one, TWO! Then proceeded straight towards a barbed wire fence where i then decided it would be a good place to park it. lol on it's side. Ok so maybe it crashed not parked. I couldn't let go of the throttle... i don't know why, but i couldn't and attempted to jump off when i realized i was going into the fence. I didn't make it off all of the way and quickly crawled out from underneath. I then realized what actually happened and died laughing hysterically along with everyone else that was watching me. Unfortunately we had company :/ I walked away with minor bruises and only bent the clutch. So all in all it was a good day! Syler is still cracking up. Glad we can all laugh at it now! From what i hear my legs were flailing and i was flying, just to give you a visual. Happy Friday!

Whew! Been a busy last 2 days! Yesterday was Syler, my stepson's 11th birthday. I can hardly believe how fast time as flown! He was about 15 months old when me and his father started dating. Just a baby! Now he is turning into a little man! My camera was being weird yesterday so i don't have the greatest pics but here are a few of him on his special day. :)
This afternoon was spent in the Dr's office with my Chas. She has been having stomach issues for while now. Started with a UA which came back OK, not 100% what it should be, but not enough for antibiotics. So now we get to do stool sampling :) She is just thrilled about that. If that comes but with nothing then her Dr. said he has some other testing that he will want to do. We are also cutting dairy products out of her diet for the next 2 weeks to see if that might have something to do with it. Ready to get her past this. My poor baby girl.
When we got home i made dinner then we snarfed it down and headed to the Variety show at the middle school. Watching all of the jr highers goof off brings back memories of my middle school days. I loved middle school. I have such great memories!! Seems like forever ago though.
The variety show was alot of fun to watch. There were some really creative ones!
After a long day i don't look or feel so hot!
I will be spending the rest of my time awake right here!

There is just something about Sundays that just make me feel good. We start out the day by going to church. I would be lying if i said i was always chipper and ready to go to church. I am usually the most tired on Sunday mornings. And it is the one day that i have to wake up the kids. I don't get it. I think the devil is trying to get me down. But once i get to church my morning usually turns out great. I love worshiping God and though i wish i could say i give God alot of my time during the week i often find myself leaving him out of my week. This is something i am working on. I love him so much and long for more time with him. But it does take work. But i am willing to work for it :) Anyways, once i get past all of the anxiety of getting myself and four kids ready and change my mindset to surrender everything to God for at least one morning my mood quickly changes. Not that i have never been crabby at church, i have had my days!
After church we usually come home and eat lunch and then RELAX for the rest of the afternoon. This is one day i try to make myself not work. It is very hard for me because i feel that i always have to be doing something. I actually get anxious and nervous feeling if i don't have something to do. I do struggle with anxiety anyways and actually take some medication to help me with this. I am really trying to find balance in my life and not feel like i always have to be doing something. It is the hardest thing for me to sit and watch TV or read a book. Both things i enjoy doing but i am a go go go all the time type of person.
Yesterday my hubby was scheduled to preach at a nursing home after church and normally we would have gone with him. I love seeing the sweet elderly and they enjoy the kids so much. But yesterday i told myself that i was going to lay down and enjoy a nice quiet afternoon while Cici slept and the girls played. Syler went to a friends house and Chasley had a friend over but i laid in bed and watched TV all afternoon. I felt great. Then we had the youth group over and spent the evening outside acting like little kids :) All adults need to do this every once in a while. Our driveway is attached to the parking lot and i rode around on a scooter and let me tell ya it is a GREAT workout for your legs. Might have to do that more often! Nothing like killing two birds with one stone. Playing with the kids/ working out. And Syler rode his dirt bike that he got for Christmas. He is just finally getting to enjoy it and I can tell he is going to get a lot of use out of this summer. He keeps begging me to try and ride it... he says he just knows that it will be hilarious. Who knows i might be a pro! I will get on it but it will either end badly or he will never get it back ;) Here are some pics of our evening.

I have been in this ongoing battle with my living room since we moved here. I had red curtains at our old house and thought i would reuse those at this house. I picked a honey yellow color and really liked the color... until now. The room just wasn't doing it for me so i tried to dress up the curtains by adding some stripes. I am just not feelin it.
Today i was looking on fabricguru.com and found this gem :) For only... wait for it...$3.95 per yard!!!! I didn't know the look i wanted but knew i wanted this for the curtains.
I am thinking a greyish brown color would look great on the walls. I want something that black and white photos will really look good on. These are some colors that i thought would look good.

I have black leather furniture. So it would go good with these colors too.
In other news. Syler had a music program last night. I didn't find out that he had a music program until he walked in the door at 4:30 and told me he had to be there at 6:45. After i whined like a baby for a few mins we moved quickly along to get dinner and get out the door. Here are some snapshots of our night.

I really do love Mondays. They are kind of refreshing to me. Especially now that it is getting warm outside. I work from home so i am busy on Monday's but i get some time to myself when Cici is sleeping. (I also like when she is awake too, she is in great mood on Mondays. But now that the weather is getting nicer i have had the windows open and my house smells AMAZING!
Doesn't she have the most beautiful lashes???
I have a great lunch date every day :)

Have you ever just eves dropped on your children playing? Normally they are fighting but there are those sweet moments that just melt my heart! Tonight Elena (5) started playing with Cici (22 mo) in her room. She got her dressed up in her "baking" gear. She was being such a little mommy to her asking her "do you want to bake a cake?" in the sweetest voice. I just LOVE them.
