Havent blogged in a while, catch up news! =)

So, I havent been on here much lately so I have all kinds of news!

My brother got married in May to Tiffany, she is an amazing girl! She has a daughter named Abbey and she is the sweetest baby girl! I instantly fell in love with both of them...=) Tiffany is my seester! I always wanted a seester! lol (kind of an inside joke on the "seester" thing I guess)  I just wish I could see them more! I was so excited for them both, and am so glad my big brother finally found someone to give his heart to! Im so proud of him for the man he is and that he is becoming as a husband and a father!  Im so blessed to have them in my life, and it has definitely brought me and Kevin closer than we have ever been!

The next thing is....I won a trip! I got on my email and was reading and deleting junk...well Im glad I didnt junk the email from Marlboro.com! I opened it up and it said "call now to R.S.V.P." I thought....theres no way!!!! Well I called and one of the first things I said was "whats the catch?" The reason I asked that, was because the Friday before I received a sweepstakes thing in the mail to win a trip to the Marlboro Ranch and they were going to draw 100 people to go, but the drawing wasnt until June something...So I thought it was something to do with that....Well boy, was I wrong! We received our paperwork to fill out for eligibility, sent that in, and a couple weeks later we got our dates! We are going to Montana in September!!!! I am so excited! Ive never won anything like this, so it came as a shock for sure! I am really nervous though, Ive never been on a plane!!!!! Im sure I will be fine, but it still makes me nervous...=)

Papa (James H. Fowler) Passed away last month, After a terrible battle with Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and he also had fluid that built up on his chest (lungs, around his heart etc.) He left this world very peacefully...and for that I am very grateful! He was a wonderful man, and I have such wonderful memories with him! I miss him very much and cant wait to see him again some day! I know that he is so happy in Heaven and so I cant say that I would want him back...he wouldnt have ever gotten better with his illness so how could I want him back...I have a promise from the Lord that through my salvation, there will be a great reunion day and I cling to that! I cant wait for that day...I just hope that when my time comes that people will have memories of me like I do with Papa....He testified and quoted the bible to anyone that would stand still for him to! And even some that wouldnt! lol He made an impact in my life, as did my other grandfather and both my grandmothers....keep my granny, and Nana in your prayers. That their days wont be lonesome, and that they find comfort in knowing that they will be at that glad reunion someday too! 

Lets see, next....Joshua is here for two weeks! Im so glad to have him here, ive missed him bunches! Harley is a wild one though...I worried about having an extra child just because my two are such a handful....well its only Harley that is being crazy!!! lol (which is not that unusual anyway)

Payton has an appointment with her orthopedic doctor tomorrow, hoping for good news with it! (see post before this one for more info on that)

We had a great Fathers Day weekend, It rained all weekend, but we enjoyed hanging out at home...Me and the kids went to church and they had a great Fathers Day message! Joshua enjoyed going, this was the second time I have taken him to church. (His family doesnt go to church) So he will get to go again next Sunday...I think we may go Wednesday night...I want him to go home and make them take him to church! =) I dont get to usually go when we go to Georgia cause we leave fairly early on Sundays....

So blessed! I have had so many great things happening lately, I cant even think of them all! ;) Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Gonna get the house picked up so I can keep up with these boys! whew!

God is so good!

We continue to receive blessings every day, but we received some great news this morning...I got a call from the kids doctors office about Paytons x-rays from last week. We dont go to the orthopedic doctor till tomorrow (so it will be official then) but her scoliosis seems to have corrected itself some...She was at a 12 degree curve a year ago, and they called and said its at 8 degrees! So we will see what the final report is tomorrow! 
We have had some serious answered prayers in this house! Harley has an appt. on July the 5th about his ears. He had an ear infection that got bad and ruptured his ear drum. He has a really high pain tolerance because of all the health problems he's had and so I dont usually find out about an ear infection until he has to go to the doctor for something else. Hes my tough man! In cases like these its not all that great to be tough though I guess. He may have to get tubes again. We will find out more than likely at the next appt. I need to make him a cardiologist appt soon, hes due for a checkup. Im so grateful that he doesnt have to deal with the heart condition anymore...I owe that to answered prayers for sure! We've had some amazing things happen in our lives!

Nice day with the Honey! =P

Well the kids had school today. This is supposed to be their last Saturday to make up snow days. Although I miss them, I have to say I totally enjoy a little alone time with Thomas...That is rare these days! We got to go to the mall and shop and actually got to hold hands as we walked for once...I guess we dont when we are with the kids cause we are trying to chase/ watch them constantly! lol It was nice! I got my nails done, well filled in anyway. I also found some new body spray at Victorias Secret that I got and LOVE! Its called "Sexy little things" Noir...Its not too strong and smells so good.
One thing I have to tell about that happened just a few minutes ago....Harley came to me and told me that the world started out with all babies...He said that is what Jesus did was make a whole bunch of babies....and it was baby world! haha I said, "Who took care of all those babies?" He said "Jesus, I guess?" lol Ive explained in a kid friendly kind of way, how people got here...but I dont think he remembered that story or at least didnt believe that version to be correct! haha
He cracks me up with his very original ideas, Hes always had a great imagination. That is one difference between him and Payton. Payton never really went through any make believe stages as a small child...Dont know why, it wasnt for a lack of me trying to get her to be imaginitive...I guess she just didnt have it in her! Shes very "REAL" and matter of fact about most things...I wish that she were a little more calm and collected like....Ummmm....I guess I should say like Thomas...Since I am not always calm and collected!
(Im really making a joke, cause I like to think I'm the calm one in the house...but Thomas thinks that he is so I will let him continue too!) =P 
Well maybe I will write more this evening...I better get off here and feed these little short people that keep calling me Mommy! heehee
I love my babies & my family & friends
Its a great day in the life of lil ole me!

A little Froggy today! =P

Nothing really much to write about today....Dont feel bad with the cough but I am losing my voice, well I sound like a croaking frog! Dont get too excited that I am losing my voice though please! lol You thought it, you know you did! haha

I went and got groceries today and did a pretty good job as far as getting my money worth....For once! Im not a very good shopper at all....EVER! =P I love to shop, looks like after all these years I would get better at it! Maybe im starting to now...Nah!

Trying to think of something to get Thomas for his birthday...Its the 15th, He will be the big 4-7!!!! Any ideas, text me, or message me...Don't leave it in the comments since he's a follower of my most intriguing blog here...haha

Ive been missing all my Georgia friends and family today...Especially Desiree' cause Im always missin her...I never did get to spend enough time with her since all our children came along...but now I definitely dont see her enough. She sent me a picture of her and Caylin and said they missed me...It was the cutest picture! I love my best friend and my baby Caylin...Even though she gets all shy around me still! haha

Well im getting ready to go to bed here in a bit so im gonna get off here...Gotta get up early again, the kids have school (their last Saturday unless they miss more snow days) Hopefully not, although we are expecting snow at some point on Sunday! UGH! Im gonna go and get my nails done tomorrow and Hang out with my honey! Hope everyone has a great weekend! =)

Thursday-March 3rd, 2011

So I am still trying to figure stuff out on here right now, so bare with me! =)  Lets see...what to write...hmmm...I got up this morning and I was a little stuffy, but I usually am when I first get up so I didn't think much of it...As the day went on I realized that I had this yucky cough back...this stuff is relentless on our house! Hoping that Thomas doesn't get this again! I feel like being sick or someone being sick is about all I've had to talk about for months now...So moving on! =P I have lots to do tomorrow, Nothing too exciting though! Gotta get groceries, pick up my contacts in Johnson City and a few other errands. Harley has pajama day tomorrow for Dr. Seuss week at school and he insisted on wearing the ones he wanted to wear tomorrow, to bed. I told him maybe he would want to wear some different ones because he gets so hot at night. Hes always been that way, even if he slept without clothes he would still sweat! He's done that since he was an infant though. Thought y'all would love to hear that tidbit of info! ha ha Getting ready to watch American Idol in a few minutes, Its definitely been interesting this year so far. I love the judges on there this year but I do kinda miss Simon cause he was so brutally honest...Poor Randy tries, but he just doesn't have the meanness in him to hurt anyone's feelings like Simon did!
Well, Ive been running into some new blogs on here, i don't have many yet that I follow. I don't know if there is a way to search for people on here without getting there particular address to their blog. If anyone knows about that, let me know please! There is this one blog, I have been reading a little each day from the beginning to learn about this wonderful couple. They lost their precious 4 month old daughter named Maddie exactly two weeks ago today( from what I understood to be from SIDS)
I have been praying so hard for this family and reading her daily updates and catching up from the beginning, I cant seem to get through much of it at a time though cause I start crying uncontrollably with every entry! There is an auction on Facebook if you want info just message me or comment, I think its on till the 8th but not for sure on that. They are raising money for the couple and getting awesome results, I wish I could afford to bid on some of the stuff but its all pretty far up there in price and I cant even begin to bid on anything at this point, but its such a blessing that people are helping out so much! When I say up in price btw, I mean well over 300 dollars! That is awesome!
I just couldn't imagine what they are going through with this, especially because it was so sudden and she was so happy and healthy...I was reading last night, and I went on and read a few of the comments and wish I hadn't have because someone commented and said that they were irresponsible parents to have left her with that babysitter that had no monitors and blah blah blah...How HEARTLESS!!! I was furious, absolutely heartbroken that someone could be so evil to say something of that nature to someone who is mourning the loss of their infant child! Gods will is why that precious baby is in heaven, he has a date and time in his book on when you, me and everyone else on the earth will die. He is the maker of all things and he does everything with good reason.
Well, that's about all I have for today...Blessings to you and yours! =)
