My kids are growing up so fast...every day i love them more watching them learn so much...jayden is almost 7! in just a couple shorts months he will be another year older and i can't believe it...kinleigh is now 16 months old and she (i believe) is a baby genius lol....she ceases to amaze me, but don't all of our children amaze us? jayden has lost two bottom teeth and soon will lose his first top tooth...kinleigh is cutting teeth as we speak...its been a torturous month for her. She is getting molars and its very painful! after all them grow in she have a total of 11 teeth if im correct...kinleighs hair is also getting so long, my favorite thing to do is put her hair up, i have yet to get her hair cut...i'm not ready to do that yet, i want it to grow long! jayden in school is working on his reading and his math skills (addition, subtraction, and money) and i'm working on getting kinleigh to say words..she doesnt speak very often...she likes to nod her head yes and shake her head no...but she does know how to say yes and no and i think yes is her favorite word lol...she says momma and dadda and bub...she says dadda the most though :P We still don't have a vehicle so thankfully we live right by SharonWoods and thats where we spend most of our time on the nice days! To try and help cure bordem i've been getting more into scrapbooking...i am no where near a master scrapbooker but i love it, i call it my therapy! other then that life for the most part is good, and i love it!

Absolutely love this picture!! what a smile :)

figured i'd share this picture of the kids playing outside in the leaves. I hate when the weather changes and it starts to get cold but this is one thing i love about the fall season...getting to watch my kids have fun in the leaves.

Brown County Fair 2011

 So another week of the fair has come and gone! It only comes around once a year and it goes by so fast!!! like always the weather was predictably unpredictable..meaning it was going to be rainy and everyone knew it!!! honestly though the weather turned out to be decent enough, and not as bad as i thought! Monday September 26th started out rainy, but by the grace of god the sun came out in just enough time to start the parade and it turned out to be a wonderful evening :)

Jayden looking back to smile

Kinleigh waving at the parade :)

This was Kinleigh's first year getting to go to the fair and I think she enjoyed it alot! unlike jayden; kinleigh didn't ride any rides...but jayden made up for it...he loved the rides and it was hard to pull him away.

Jayden on his favorite ride of all time the spring ride!

up up and away!


I took the kids to the fair a few days that week, the first night mom and i enjoyed a nice yummy philly cheese steak and jayden devoured a big corn dog! That Tuesday we went and took jacob with us! mom shared a flowering onion with him and katie and jayden and i each had a fry. I didn't go back to the fair until Thursday and stayed an hour because it started to rain :( i was not getting caught in that mess...but we returned to the fair again that Saturday, this time with Ronnie :) it was beyond cold that day but we enjoyed what we could....jayden and kinleigh both got to experience riding their first horse!

all in all it was a good week! i have out grown the fair since being an adult...but i enjoy getting to see my babies enjoy it now! i have gone every single year since i was 13 years old! even if i don't live in georgetown forever it is a tradition i would like to keep going for a long long time!!!!

What A Wonderful World: Luckiest Girl in the World

What A Wonderful World: Luckiest Girl in the World

Luckiest Girl in the World

So yesterday I walked up to Save Alot with mom, katie, and the kids and while we were there shopping a nice lady (who had to be AT least 80) stopped her cart at where I was standing and preceded to tell me how beautiful kinleigh was...(.as all of you know i hear this often and eat up every bit of it, i apologize if this makes me a conceded mother. I know my children are beautiful and honestly don't need to hear it to believe it, but its always nice when i hear it). In all honestly i thought i could have cleaned kinleigh up a little better before we went out (she has had a cold for 3 days and her nose has been running non-stop). Well then jayden came over and the lady looks at him and with the biggest smile say "well aren't you just so handsome" (again gloating i know). Jayden was an even bigger mess then kinleigh was, he has been broke out in poison ivy all week and not to mention he is covered in dirt head to toe because he had been making dirt for dinner in the back yard :). As the lady continues to compliment my kids i am finding any excuse for her to stop, i kept saying they are such a mess right now...and my daughter has a cold and my son is getting over poison ive...blah blah blah. The lady says to me "oh no no thats one thing that makes them beautiful"...and then she began talking about what beautiful big eyes both of them have.
    She was such a nice lady, beyond the fact she was praising my kids without knowing me or them she was just a genuinely nice women. It takes me a long time to warm up to just about anyone and for some reason, never knowing this women, i felt if only for a second...already warmed up to her.
    We stood there talking just for a few more minutes but she managed to tell me about the few grand kids she has and how a couple were already in their 30's and one was just getting ready to graduate from college. None of them had started families yet, she said all of them have had their noses in work and think of nothing else but that. She said that she tries to convince her grandaughters to give her great grandbabies, but doesn't ever see it happening.
    After we had parted ways mom went to the check out aisle and i took the kids outside and waited for her to get done, i thought about my life and the decisions that i have made in my 26years of life....would i change any of the decisions i have made?
    At this point in my life i COULD most likely be graduated out of college with probably a bachelors degree (in god knows what? it could have ranged from psychology to journalism) i may have been moved out of georgetown to find better work (which soon i plan to be out of georgetown to start my family). I probably wouldn't be in a relationship and if so it wouldn't be to serious because i would have been to into work myself. So, i would have to say no i do not regret any of the decisions that i have made in my 26years. I am happy with my life, although things are tough from time to time and i would eventually like to have a career...i love being a mom its the best gift in the world..this is how my life is supposed to be...we all go through our own struggles in life to become who we are in the end.
   I thought of those ladies grand children....not that i think they are making the wrong decision, because financially they probably are in a better boat then i am, but i think of what they are missing out on...and i consider myself the luckiest girl in the world to have to amazing children who bring smiles to my face every single day and i wouldn't want any of my life any other way
