Hmph!

I love those summer weeks when you have no doctor appointments, no errands to run and really nothing planned. I love how I can wake up and take all day to clean my house and hang out in the back yard soaking up the sun with the kids with absolutely nothing to do. Well, Nothing to do has taken on a new form in my life! I am now forced to DO NOTHING because my van is on week number 3 of not being fixed :( BOOOOO! For those that have wondered what exactly is goin on, here's a brief (as brief as I can make it) story about what I used to refer to as my "vacation" a.k.a= the van, now known and renamed as my own personal hell!! We got the van to the mechanic to learn the computer had gone out, replaced it with a new one and that one just happens to be bad, soooo we wait til the other new one comes in and hopefully it will be fixed. I don't want to talk about it any more, FRANKLY I DONT CARE. Just a lil aggaravated about the whole situation. Hmph!
Hannah Montana ROCKS @ our house these days:

Can I put a rock on her head??

They do love some snuggle time.....

B-E-A-utiful pic of Reese! Had to share!!


All this beauty is really killin me folks, S-A-weet!!

The summer is going fantastic with the kids and we have been spending some quality time together in the yard soaking up the hot, hot sun!
Thank goodness to the invention of the inflatable pool :) My own lil paradise in my backyard! I have set up a sandbox in the back yard also and the kids can't get enough of it! Here are some pictures from this week of all of our ventures and visitors that have graced us with our NON van selves:

Patience, My grasshopper.

Patience....That's what I'm learning through this last week. As if having three girls wouldn't be enough for me to learn some patience by, "Life", keeps throwing things my way to make me understand that one day I will learn how to have patience, and that by golly, I will learn to take the good things away from every life circumstance! Take this for instance:
THIS is what seems to be the "thing" to do these days with the girls! EATING is all they do, I find at least one child in the kitchen eating*btw* trying to leave the kitchen with food about every 3.5 seconds. As if I don't have enough to do, I am now security guard over the food now too!
Fathers day was a good one! Reese and Presleigh were giggly and stealing yet more food as we made Jeffery his Fathers day Breakfast while he slept, (BTW: Alexa wasn't home Fathers day morning, she chose to stay the night away, that's why she's not in any of the pics(in case you were wondering). This makes my heart happy when I look at these pictures to know that My girls have an awesome man to call Daddy!
Update on the Van, there is no update! Jeffery drove it to a mechanic today and we are waiting on the word from him! Everyone hope and pray its not nothing serious and that we will once again have transportation!! What did people do back in the day with no vehicle?? With that being said...this is how me and the girls have been spending our days, PATIENTLY waiting on the van to be fixed:
Don't get me wrong people, I have many things to be thankful for, I mean did you see my beautiful lil faces I created?! I would just really like for the man upstairs to remember that I am a work in progress and YES! I see his point and I am trying super hard to be a patient person! Maybe next week me and the kiddos can venture out to find something to get into! Until then.....we sit and become More Patient People ;)
BTW: For those wondering where I found my keys, they were under my van, must have fallen out of my purse when I thought I had placed them in there! YEAH, I felt like Mother of the year yellin at the kids for playing with my keys when all along, it was ME who lost them. Not going there anymore about that, the guilt has been enough punishment on me! Til then, Life will resume in its chaotic entirety.............

Let the Craziness resume!

















Well? Where do you start when its your very first post?! I'm new at this and hopes everyone bears with me on this journey aka a great way to vent, while I get used to this.
First things first, Me and Jeffery finally were able to go on a much needed vacation, just the two of us! No children( whom we did miss believe it or not). What an incredible experience it was! Being able to experience just us again really brought back feelings from the olden days of no responsibilities and just livin on pure love.
What an incredibly lucky girl I am to actually have my first love still in my life and even with all the craziness we have endured, we are still coming out fighting for each other. I gotta tell ya, the odds have definately been against us from day one!
When we returned home from vacation we learned our van and only mode of transportation decided to take a break, and by that I mean it BROKE DOWN!!
We have spent this whole week back from paradise, actually living in our everyday "paradise" trying to fix the van. "It will be fixed, it will be fixed!" is the only thing keeping my sanity together right about now. oh well! Life still keeps moving on regardless of wether or not I have a vehicle!
Now on to some more updates:
I have made it through all the birthdays of the girls! woohoo! All thats left is mine and Jefferys, but whose counting ours anyways, we're just the parents! School is out and I am happy and very proud to announce that Alexa made all A's and B's this school year! She is growing into such a fantastic lil lady, whom by the way is the only child in my house that keeps her room clean these days. On to Reese, I don't know how many of you know that back about six months ago my lovely lil tornado was diagnosed with ADHD! She is doing great on her medicine and we struck gold with the very first medicine they put her on. She gets to go to first grade this coming up school year, hope she gets a very patient teacher like last year!
Update on Presleigh is she starts 3yr pre k this fall and its very bitter sweet. She is super excited and can't wait, parts of me can't either, LOL! That's it for my first blog, hope you enjoyed. There are lots more updates to come, my head is full of stuff that I want to blog about! If this or any other blogs seem kinda all over the place, just remember, that's how my head works and this is how its gonna be :)
