who knows what

"LOOK AT ME!"

I have no idea what she is doing!

"HI MOM! ARE YOU WATCHING?"

The little boy in the red shorts tried to kiss Kaylin while they were sitting
on the bench.
She pushed him away!
Then he tried putting his arm around her and she got up and moved!
Thankfully it didnt bother him any he moved on to the next girl!

Kaylin's Toe

WARNING........
THE PICTURES YOU ARE ABOUT TO VIEW ARE VERY GRAPHIC.
IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH PLEASE GO ON TO THE NEXT POST
THANK YOU
:o)


















Kaylin had a small wart on her toe.
she was complaining that it was bothering her so I took her to the doctor to have it looked at.
She was seen by a PA here and the PA decided the best option was to freeze it off.
This is what her toes looked like the day after.
you can see the small wart in the middle of her foot.

Needless to say I was not happy about how this was handled. After doing some research online
I saw that it is normal for a blister like this to form
BUT
What is NOT normal is that they freeze a wart on a child so young because it is so painful!
She is doing better now, the blister has popped and is healing.
I flied a complaint at the hospital :)
that made me feel a little better.
Next time I will try a home remedy first!

Kaylin and poor sweet Charlie (must be said with Brittish accent LOL)
Charlie is such a sweet dog, a little too round to be a hot dog
so Tanner decided to call him Sausage.
Everyone loves Charlie including Kaylin,
by the look on his face I dont know if he feels the same about her.

Child of the 80's part 2

Cheri's pictures.
Ok I figured since Karen
didnt like my little comment about her 80's hair
I thought I would be fair and post my own 80's pics.
By the way Karen you have no idea how much I had to dig to find these oldies!


You know you were a child of the 80's when..........

you had a metal swing set in your back yard
that when you swung too high on the swing it almost tipped over
because no one thought to make sure it was stable.

You had an ET shirt or some kind of ET covered something

you had to hope that someone in your family could get a Cabbage Patch doll for you
because they were so hard to find.
You may have even settled for a fake until you could get a real one.

And who could possible forget
Strawberry Shortcake!!

if you ever had a stone washed denim jacket

Side pony tails, big bows, and big glasses!
Everything as big as possible!

Flouresecent clothes!!!
Yikes!

ok I just had to throw this one in :)
This is Tod and I.
His favorite picture of us when we were dating.

For Jillian

Some of you may know I love my yahoo groups :-D
I have met and made friends from all over the world just by
sitting at my desk reading email.
One of those sweet sisters has started
Chemo treatments for
Non Hodgkins lymphoma.
I made this desktop for her but I wanted to share it with
anyone else who wants it.
The lime green ribbon is the support ribbon for
her cause.
Please if you would like to use this desktop
as a reminder to keep her in your prayers
I know she would appreciate it.
Thank you.

You should be able to click on the image to get the correct size

You know you grew up in the 80's when.......

I recently scanned a bunch of old pictures for Tod and I have
been meaning to do this post for a while now, so here goes......

You know you grew up in the 80s when......

you wore tube socks with your short shorts.

your dad wore black dress socks with his short shorts.

you practiced your totally awesome break dancing moves in the driveway.

Happy Halloween 08

This year for Halloween Tanner decided to go as himself!
LOL JUST KIDDING!
He was a nerd, and did a great job
handing out candy very nerd like.
But apparently he was a cute nerd
there were girls from school telling him how cute he was
LOL!

I had more fun with Savana's outfit this year than I should have!
She wanted to dress like the 80's!!!
"LIKE FER SURE IT WAS TOTALLY
AWESOME"

Skater Girl!

Tanner was a sweet big brother.
As soon as he heard Kaylin say she wanted a "skatefork"
He was right on top of things!
She wanted a Hello Kitty one but we just didnt see any at Toys R Us.
Well Tanner bought a small skateboard with his own money!
We painted it and put some princess stickers and an extra coat
of sealer so they would stay on.
And Kaylin got her "Skatefork!"

Beautiful flowers from my sis!

Thanks Diane!
I love you!

Kaylin's new room

OK as most of you know I overdid it with Kaylin's bed earlier this year. If you don't know go here.
I decided to sell her bed after she fell out of it a time or two, nothing serious but it could have been. Then I caught her on the roof of the bed! That was the last straw.
So I sold it on Craigslist and got this.
I had enough money left over to get a new bedspread and lamp for her too.
If you cant see it the bed spread says
"Its not easy being a princess"
How true is that? ;)

Tanner's new Haircut!

After months of nagging him about keeping his hair our of his eyes, and a really bad trim by the lady at the PX, Tanner finally decided he could let go of his long hair!!!
We went to a barber shop my neighbor recommended called Stud Cuts and this is the result!
I am sooooo excited!
It has taken me a while to get the picture posted of the cut because I have been busy.

Tinkerbell!

One of the neighbor kids gave Kaylin her Tinkerbell costume from last Halloween,
little did she know Kaylin got a build a bear monkey and picked the tink
outfit for her and even named her tink!
The first day she got the Tink outfit for herself
she wanted it on as soon as we came home
then she didn't want to take it off when it came time for bed!
I figured it wouldn't hurt anything for her to sleep in it so I allowed her to,
knowing it couldn't possibly be comfortable to sleep in!
She wanted to sleep in the shoes but I drew the line there.
I neatly placed the shoes beside her bed,
when I checked on her before I went to bed that night the shoes were back on her feet!
I removed them AGAIN and when she got up the next morning
yes you guessed it!
They were back on her feet!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
