We're Back...

The View from our Room

Okay....We just got back..well by just I mean a week ago from the most amazing trip we have been on. Jay and I with some friends went on our first cruise to Alaska and let me tell you, if you have not been cruising you should give it a try. It was so much fun, relaxing and we did things that I never thought we would do...Okay we did ONE thing I never thought we would do..Zip Lining....Let me set it up for you...When going into the ports you can chose to do different activities in the towns...and Zip Lining was the one that stood out for me..So hear I go and talk the rest of my group into doing this thing and on our way there my husband asks..."Who do you think will freak out first?" I, of course chose him and my girlfriend who are both afraid of heights. I wouldn't freak out, no way..not scared of heights here..Bring it on...That was my cocky attitude...So it starts with all smiles, a great Jet boat ride to the island, a ltitle 4X4'n in a Mule (name of the vehicle, not an actual Mule people) up to the zip site and gearing up to go. We had 2 practise runs...so off I go and for some reason had a tough time with the steering of it, no big deal..By the second practise I not only concentrate to hard on the steering that I flip around I can't make it to the other side and have to pull myself in. Again, no problem. We hit the 3rd tree and they say.."Okay it's time to get started." That's where it happens...Everyones voices are getting quieter, my breathing starts getting heavy, everything is closing in on me and I start to Panic...PANIC PANIC PANIC! I look over at my girlfriend who is a little freaked out too and all I can remember is her looking at me and realizing she had to do an immediate calm down or I was going throw everyone off of our 200 foot tree perch and that would be the end of that. I really don't know what happened...Somehow I calmed myself down got back up on that stool and rode the 783 feet across to the next perch, screaming my head off and praying that I would make it. Anyway by the end we had the time of our life, I would do it again and here are the pictures to show the "fun" we had! The kids had a blast well we were away but I still can't figure out why Jordan is calling Teagan Jordy....She is quite confused about who Jordan is...Try explaining to a 2 year old that SHE Is Jordy and that Teagan is Teagan..anyway here you go! I must go off and get caught up on reading everyone elses blogs...

Lost...

2007-05-03T17:09:00.000-07:00

Where has all the time gone!? I can't believe how long it has been since I posted on this blog. We have been so busy with life. Nothing to exciting really. Cassie has lost yet another tooth. The twins are getting bigger and talking more. My mom and I went on a much needed spa retreat! Thanks Mom! We had a great time where by 7:pm we were in our pj's watching mindless television and stuffing our faces, a dream come true vacation, SERIOUSLY! Cameron is into drawing these days. He must have colored a whole coloring book yesterday and tacked them up in his "art gallery" aka. the laundry room. And Jay and I have been busy getting ready for our trip in 3 sleeps to Alaska baby!!!!!!!! My goal is to have fun and to try and not fall off the boat. Yes, this really is a concern for me. I'll be the passenger walking around all the time with a permanent life vest, maybe two after the wine I plan on enjoying. As much as we are going to miss the kids this is a much nedded, much earned vacation. We shall be better parents when we return. Enjoy the pic of Grandma and Grandpa amusing Cameron on his obsession with trains..CHOOO CHOOOOOOO!
Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARKE & HEIDI!

Happy Birthday Girls!

2007-04-05T08:29:00.000-07:00

I can't believe my girls are 2! I remember when I found out I was having twins, crazy but so exciting. And then when they were born at 38 weeks and 7 lbs. and 7.2 lbs. I was amazed!(I have to tell everyone that because who believes it...and not a c-section..is that to much info? I do not care!) It's been a beautiful, challenging and fun 2 years and I can't wait to see what the next year is like....Hmm...2 children in terrible two's? What's the rush? Stay young girls! Happy Birthday Teagan and Jordan!!!!!!!
(Teagan has the pony tail)

Bitter Sweet

2007-03-23T14:41:00.000-07:00

Bitter...One of my VERY best friends, ever is moving away. It sucks, it sucks alot...I am seriously going to miss her with every inch of my body and soul (which is a lot!). Nicole and I have been friends since we were 17 and her friendship is one of the most important relationships in my life..She is understanding, funny, sweet, compassionate but most of all she gets me..She is not judgemental, always gives me her honest opinion and knows every detail about me and still chooses to be my friend....Her family is beautiful...Even her husband who in the past, we may have not seen eye to eye and is now also one of my best friends and my husbands too...Them moving, sucks...

Sweet... They are going to a place they are going to love..It will be a more relaxed, easy going lifestyle and they are building the life they want...They are going to do very well in anything they chose to do...Best of all..I got a nice place to go on vacation...Get the Guest room ready Wingers, the Fishers are coming!

Love you all

Question

2007-03-20T00:49:00.000-07:00

Can your tongue get freezer burnt? Cause I think mine did after eating one , okay 4 fudge bars tonight..It hurts...Don't worry it was low fat and well within my Weight Watchers points! I have no self control and a bit of a tummy ache.

Our Boy is 5!

2007-03-15T10:34:00.000-07:00

Unbelievable! I cannot believe that my son, my little boy is 5 today. Five years ago today he decided to enter this world, 4 weeks premature at 7 pounds and 10 ounces (thank you Cameron for coming early, god only knows how big you actually would have been). Our life, seriously, is better because you are in it. You provide us with constant entertainment and challenge us daily in everything. You are bright, sensitive, funny and most of all the best son we could ask for. Have a great birthday Buddy! xoxoxoxoxox

Corn Holes...

2007-03-06T11:11:00.000-08:00

Why is it that children find it necessary to stuff things up their nose? This is the case of Jordan Jaylee last night. When coming out of the bath I noticed something in her nose and quickly got the first kernel out just to find another on in the other nostril...So after torturing her for awhile (not really) but she probably thought so, it was off to the hospital we go. Arriving nicely at 9:pm where we were taken in to the ENT room in 30 mintues..YES! Quick trip to the hospital. NOT! 6 hours later we returned home where 2 more kernels of corn were removed and the last one being, of course, the largest ass kernel I have ever seen. The postive side to this is that Jordan and I had awesome one on one time. We walked around the hospital, rode on the wheelchair right side up and upside down, counted cheerios, money and anything else that we could play with. Do you think she will learn her lesson or do this again? I'm thinking this isn't the last time.

Update!

2007-03-02T20:19:00.000-08:00

Okay part of my lack of posting is because I could not get my camera to upload pictures and there was no point in me saying anything if I couldn't post a pic is there? Anyway YAY it works again! Have no idea what was wrong with it and honestly don't care as long as it is fixed. So it's been a busy few weeks in the Fisher household...Cassie and Cameron have both started gymnastics and they are loving it! Cassie is in her total glory and Cameron listens so intently. I did not think that was possible! Good boy! Cassie has also got her first wiggly tooth and Glasses!! Kids get excited over the funniest thing...When her tooth was loose she had to phone everyone she knew to tell them about it and her glasses are her pride and joy. It's sad really..a whole year she has suffered from headaches and we didn't think her eyes cause she had them checked a year ago and they were good...The fact that I had to peel her nose off the computer screen should have been a clue that she cannot see! Anyway she is all grown up with her teeth and her glasses...

Not much new with the twins..They are talking a lot more and loving eachother...They are saying Thank you, and Up..And calling eachother...quite cute. They also love their new sport of running away from Mommy and hey to make it fun let's head in different directions. I have never been a fan of those harnesses until now. Do not judge me, unless you have twins.

The homeschooling is going awesome, really awesome. Cassie has come out of her "shell". Not so shy and doing so well in everything. Cameron is begging for me to homeschool him instead of preschool but really once he gets there he loves it so there we shall leave him. Tonight before he fell asleep he says.."Mommy, are you thinking what I'm thinkig?" I said, "What are you thinking Cameron?" He says, "I don't know what I'm thinking, goodnight Mommy." I love the things kids say!

Wife = Slave?

2007-02-23T18:49:00.000-08:00

As my son was "whinning" for Mommy to get him a glass of milk I reminded him how I was not "his slave" and he should ask me nicely. Cassie asked what does Slave mean so I proceeded to explain it to her then back to my laundry I went...A moment later I hear my sweet 6 year old say to her dad...

"Daddy, so does slave also mean a wife?"

Happy Birthday Vicki!

2007-02-22T11:48:00.000-08:00

Stomach Flue 2007

2007-01-28T09:47:00.000-08:00

Well the Fisher household has been such a delight the last few days, sense the sarcasm. First it started with Jordan, then myself, then.......Teagan, Birnie and Cameron and last night finally it hit Jay..Cassie so far has been spared from this horrible stomach flue and I hope she never gets it..Jay and Cameron got it the absolute worst! Cameron is much better today and Jay is huddled in bed where I suspect he will spend the remainder of the day today. He was a champ through it all..Had to miss work and take care of all of us sickies and I could not have asked for a better husband. Love ya baby! Anyway off I am to clean up, do laundry and get this house feeling "fresh" again..."Hello Carpet Cleaners, start your bidding now, we are in need!"

Let me tell you about...

2007-01-20T13:44:00.001-08:00

TWINS...
They are hilarious, mysterious, awesome. It amazes me to sit and watch them. It is like a reality show happening right in front of you. I always heard about twins and how they have their own language. I grew up with step sisters who are twins and I see the bond they have but you don't really understand it till it stares you in the face everyday and you watch every moment of them. Teagan and Jordan amaze me daily. They look out for one another, beat up on one another and speak to one another in a whole other language. Today for instance they were about to eat breakfast so off they go to their little table. All of a sudden they both grab their bowls, walk to the living room, put down their bowls and walk over to their little table, grab their chairs and take them to where their bowls were and sit down and watch TV while they ate. I just sat there watching in complete awe because all I heard was babble yet they really seemed to get what they were saying. They nod their heads at eachother and laugh at the same time during one of their many "conversations." I know I am truly blessed because not only do I have healthy, beautiful children but children who are the best of friends. I was always worried about what would happen with the third child because Cassie and Cameron are so close but now I don't have to worry because the twins have eachother. I babysat my cousins twins last week and again the same thing. It's as if they are one person. They seem to know how the other feels, what their thinking, what they like, don't like, it's amazing. Now if I can just get Teagan to stop beating up on Jordan....hmmm.....

And....one more.........

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2007-01-03T12:35:00.000-08:00

Well our New Year has started off with sniffling kids and lots of down time in our pj's. Although we could do without the sickness we are having a blast watching movies, reading stories, drinking hot chocolate and playing countless games like Buckaroooooo where Cameron is the King. The kids are happy, mom is getting rest and we are cooking up a storm over here. I have added a new link called, YUMMY RECIPES! Jay and I were doing some cooking and thought what a nice way to share some quick, easy, and yummy meals with people. We are always looking for new things to make so perfect make our own site and hopefully some of you will get on the recipe band wagon and let us put some of your favourites up!

I hope you all had an excellent New Years and I hope this year is filled with nothing but happiness. I am so looking forward to this year and spending it with my beautiful family and awesome friends.

Turkey Update!

2006-12-28T10:00:00.000-08:00

I have to share this with you all. That turkey, AWESOME! stuffing, AWESOME! Dinner..unbelievable if I do say so myself...We had a great Christmas....A relaxing day of kids playing with their gifts..The kids were spolied, the adults are broke but everyone is happy. And that is all that matters. So anyway back to the dinner..it was great..(Right dad and Connie?) I decided to make Yorkishire puddings with them and here, here's a picture of them. I am going to post the recipe because they are amazing and complete any family meal...I didn't even need dessert! They were it! So enjoy

3 eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup flour

1 tsp. salt

Preheat muffin pan with 1 tsp. oil in bottom of each - 425 F. for 10 mintues. QUICKLY add batter to each, about 1/2 full and return to oven for 20 - 25 mintues. The key is to heat the oil for 10 mintues and to NOT open the oven for at least 20 mintues even if you think they are done cause people they will fall. Fill with gravy and serve...yummmmmmmmmmmy

Hope you all had a great Christmas..Now break out the wine cause it's New Year's baby!

Turkey You Ask?

2006-12-18T23:45:00.000-08:00

I am cooking Christmas dinner this year and today I found the best thing ever!!! I am so excited...And I was a bit worried I wouldn't get one but I did...and I can't wait...What am I talking about you ask? The pre-stuffed, cook from frozen BUTTERBALL Turkey!!!!!!! I mean, seriously thank you for making my dinner just that much easier. Who comes up with this stuff? I bet they are millionaires. I wish I was that brilliant. I don't care what you nay sayers say...I have 4 kids, it's christmas and I want Turkey without all the work...If I had it my way we'd eat on paper plates with plastic utensils to cut down on my cleaning time so I can have more wine time but that's what the dishwashers are for so glassware we shall have. I really do love Christmas....I love shopping for everyone, watching the kids open the presents, visit with family members, Christmas parties and all the stuff that goes along with it. However when it is all said and done I'm ready to move on to the next year...The birthdays, THE SUN, the vacations and everything in between. In the meantime I am off to enjoy our awesome holiday so MERRY HO HO ALL!! Hope you all enjoy it and stay safe. Oh and enjoy the Turkey, it's the best part.

A Parent's Nightmare

2006-12-12T20:26:00.000-08:00

My poor Jordan. She had a slight fever on Sunday but was in a good mood, I thought, teething as she doesn't do the greatest with it...By Monday her fever had hit 104...so to the doctors we go and they can't find anything..They send us home and tell us to watch her fever and work at controlling that and if it was still high in 24 hours, come back...8:30 pm she wakes up.....Fever 104.7..I am convinced by this time we need to go to the hospital and I said to Jay that if her fever isn't okay in the next 1/2 hour or so I'm taking her. Give her tylenol, she drinks some water..I sit down to cuddle with her and she starts to seizure....The absolute scariest moment of my life. There is nothing worse then seeing your child go through anything, especially this...We called 911 and Jordan took her first ride in an ambulance, mine too for that matter. She was such a troper as they poked and poked and shoved things in places we don't like and restrained her as they took her X-ray....It took awhile to get her fever down, and thank god it wasn't anything serious. Still not sure what caused the high fever, they think maybe her tonsils...Poor kid....We all know where she got her tonsil problems from. Thanks Vick, for being here....you made it here in record time, I'm still amazed...Thanks Momma for coming and spending the night and taking care of us, again. And thank you Jay...without you I would have fallen absolutely apart....You amaze me... Everything is good now.....And Jordan is getting back to her old self....We love you baby!

Driving Me NUTS!

2006-12-09T07:18:00.000-08:00

I just pulled out my dark clothes from the dryer and what do I see? What looks like grease stains all over my clothes. !@%* Driving me nuts! What's the problem you wonder? The problem is the last couple of years I have been doing laundry out comes my clothes with these stains on them. The stains aren't there when they go in so why are they there when they come out? I have tried....powdered detergent, liquid detergent, dryer sheets, liquid softener, we have even bought a new washer and dryer because I was convinced it was the old ones..Which weren't even that old! Anyway so out comes my Spray and Wash Dual Power (love it!) and I wash the clothes again.
Does anyone, ANYONE, know whyyyyyyyyyyyy the laundry is torchering me like this? Do the laundry "people" think I have time with 4 kids and a husband to be re washing my clothes? Should doing laundry really be this frustrating? I am losing my mind. I need a vacation.

Slow Days....

2006-12-05T10:03:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling almost quilty for not posting in the last week but really there's nothing much to talk about so rather then bore you poor people I thought I'd say nothing at all...But I don't like saying nothing at all as those who know me will agree....Sooo...I'll just bore you instead! Jay took Cameron to his very first hockey game last Tuesday night and it was a defining moment for the father/son relationship....They had a great time and now Daddy is Camerons "best friend". Quite sweet. Cameron got a practise puck, got his mug shot up on the big screen and freaked all the people around him out when he said..."Daddy, I'm going to fro up." After several trips to the bathroom and a couple of "Run to the garbage can" Cameron, I am happy to announce, did not "fro" up. But now he loves hockey and that makes my husband smile. Not that he cares if Cameron likes hockey or not but now they have bonded even more so and that makes us all smile. Those men have to stick together in this house full of girls. I love my boys.

Funny Girl....

2006-11-24T19:09:00.000-08:00

"Why is your neck like that?"

"Like what Cassie?"

"Like that..(points to Mommas beautiful but I guess a bit wrinkled neck, I don't see it!!!)"

"Well Momma is getting old."

"Does that mean you are going to the dump?"

"Why would I go to the dump?"

"Daddy says all old things go to the dump."

Day 6..get tubes from nose removed...Holy shit how did those things fit in my nose.....seriously long and wide but yes I can breathe! still can't feel my tongue, burnt beyond belief due to allergic reaction but I can breathe..maybe food now...Yes, jello and chicken broth...nice...Lost 14 lbs!!! sweet! worth it? maybe..Tongue will recover in about a week and both my specialists and family dcotor were amazed that I have healed as nicely as I did considering what happened to me...One doctor reffered it to taking the hottest slice of pizza you can imagine and sticking it directly on your tongue...killing the whole thing....that's what the allergic reaction did, very weird.

Not worth it....It maybe only a week and a half and even though my kids have been here the whole time I miss them soooo much...I cannot believe in a week how much they have changed. Teagan and Jordan are listening, and talking! Talking so much and Cassie and Cameron are just nice little kids. Oh thank you to everyone for everything and all your help but I want my life back now! and I'm sure you want yours back too!
Few more days I should be back at it....now I am enjoying the chill out, play with the kids and sleep when you want part.
I love my kids.

Pee, Puke & Pain..all in that order

2006-11-10T01:08:00.000-08:00

I love the feeling of crawling into bed with freshly washed sheets, after a shower and fresh pj's. Oh what a great nights sleep you have. I dreamt about this all day as I washed my sheets, fluffed my comforter and made my bed. The kids are all sound asleep so I have a nice cup of tea and watch Grey's Anatomy and CSI..Time for bed, up the stairs, oh hey..Cameron crawled into my bed..I spot a pull up...on the floor..I throw back the cupboards and nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.............this isn't happening...HUGE wet spot right in the middle of my perfectly clean bed. You little.."Oh yes I know honey it was an accident"..I'm gonna..."It's alright baby let's go and get you cleaned up"...And put your ass back into your bed with of course, your pull up firmly in place because god forbid you actually pee the bed that has the mattress protector on it.

12:30 am ...Hmm...that baby sounded like they might of thrown up...Go check..all is good..just a cough...Whew....but now she is up and fussy..Okay Teagers come with me and have a cuddle..Hey let's go check email...sit down...gag...and...there it is..all over me, her, the chair, the floor..run to the bathroom....on the floor...in the toilet..on her foot...wow...what did you eat? Nasty..okay no problem..bath..we bath...a little gravol...."What's that Tegan, you don't like that thing put up your bum? Yeah I don' t like to be puked on...Let's help eachother kid. I love you baby." The following puke session we made it to the toilet and now my little daughter and I are going to curl up on the livingroom floor on blankets and with our new best friend Mr. Bowl.

Pain you say?..yes cause in 4.5 hours I will be waking to go get my deviated septum repaired as well as a partial tonsillectomy...I am so excited....a week in bed..movies...and straws up my nose to help me breathe as well as the worst pain I have ever felt in my whole life like the last time. Yes the last time when they did the tonsillectomy and felt like leaving some there so I could do it all again! I'd rather birth all of my children again, at the same time and at the weights they are now..Ever had an ADULT tonsillectomy? Trust me, avoid at all costs.

Yet for some reason, I'm still smiling!

Bragging Rights

2006-11-07T14:19:00.000-08:00

One of the things I love about being a parent, and having a blog is I can brag...I can brag about my kids, my husband my life all I want. But..I am not like that..usually...EXCEPT FOR TODAY!!!!!!!!! My girls movie came out..Yes, you heard it the twins were in a movie. A year ago now and although it was a small part they are still in it!!! And let me say they did amazing..The next Olsen twins you say? You never, never know.

The movie, "Little Man"..the picture is..Jordan (or is it Teagan?? Does it really matter? NOOOOOOO) being held by Kerry Washington and Brittany Daniels.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......

2006-11-05T23:26:00.000-08:00

Jay and I just got back from a night out of dinner at the delicious Keg and the James Blunt concert which surprisingly was an awesome concert. I mean don't get me wrong I love James Blunt but I pretty much thought he was going to be, as he would say "miserable" the whole night but he was extremely entertaining. That and his opening act also very good.
www.starsailor.net is where you can go to hear their music and if James Blunt is coming near you, check him out. Not to shabby.
All I have to do now is get rid of the headache caused by the girl beside me who obviously thought that bathing herself in her perfume would be well recieved by others. Not so much.

Happy Trick or Treat!

2006-11-03T10:45:00.000-08:00

Cameron outlasted all the girls with the Trick or Treating..His sayin..."Happy Trick or Treat..I'm Buzz Lightyear."

Jordan Jaylee!

2006-10-28T14:47:00.000-07:00

This is Jordan. This is Jordan sucking on the washing machine during the spin cycle. It seems that no matter where she is in the house when she hears that machine start shaking she runs to it and sits there with her mouth on it. Not quite sure why but who am I to discourage her from such a harmful activity.

She also has the love of the computer. You will often find her clicking away, ruining many programs of ours cause we are not smart enough to turn it off. Actually we do, she just turns it on herself. Yeah, that's it. She is so advanced!

Ode To Momma...

2006-10-27T16:09:00.000-07:00

It's only appropriate that we continue with our "Ode" series and do Papa's other half. This is our Momma.

There is so much to say about Momma and just how fantastic she is and how lucky we are to have her in our lives. She is our mother, grandmother and friend. She is always there to listen, love and look after you! Just the other day for example, Momma and Papa came over for a visit before they had to go out for dinner and I was feeling quite tired. I had planned on a great dinner of chicken and veggies but time went on and I thought, nope, Krap Dinner...I am to tired...Next thing I know there is Momma in the kitchen, very happily, making us our Chicken and Veggies. I know to you all it might not sound like much but it is a tiny example of the heart this woman has. She thanks me for allowing her to come over, and get this, look after us. Like hello, I am the one that should be doing the thanking cause really she makes my life so much nicer. Not just easier, but nicer. We love to settle the kids down and meet at the table for our afternoon coffee where we never run out of things to talk about. We are blessed and so grateful for everything that she empowers. You can see in the picture Cassie doing her studies and Momma right in there with her. They love to learn together and I love to watch the love my children have for this wonderful person. We love you Momma, So much!

Bugs Anyone?

2006-10-27T16:03:00.000-07:00

Today I took Cassie and Cameron to the Bug Lab and it was pretty cool! I had never heard of it before and when I did I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it is definetely a place the young and old should check out. It is a trip that you could do over and over and even though the kids got a little tired and Cassie wasn't feeling all to good (turns out she has tonsilitis again) we had a good time. We even bought a fish tank so the kids can have two fish and we will attempt to keep alive. We will probably be doing a post soon about the funeral arrangements for our dear fish but we will think positive before then. Like the spider?

Strangers Beware

2006-10-23T18:35:00.000-07:00

Cassie is working on her community and safety. So today she watched a strangers video. Before it came on she says, "Mommy, Daddy told me already what to do if a stranger tries to get me."

I said "Oh yeah and what do you do Cassie?" Her reply, very innocently, "I scream real loud that I don't know them then I kick them in the nuts."

That's our girl!

**No child was hurt during the making of these pictures**

Ode to Papa...

2006-10-22T18:28:00.000-07:00

The girls have learned a new word and it's Papa..Everything is Papa right now....At one point we heard "Where is Papa?". Well, this is Papa. Momma was away for 3 weeks so during that time Papa came over and watched the kids, played with the kids, fixed Camerons bike and sat through endless showings of Treehouse television while cuddling with the kids on the couch. We all love Papa. We love him for his quiet ways and for his unbelievable patience and for always putting his family first. He is our mentor, our father, our grandfather, our friend so it's only appropriate that we share with everyone who the twins are talking about when they accidentally call you Papa.

Pumpkin Patch

2006-10-14T19:54:00.000-07:00

We went today with Sherry and her kids to the Pumpkin Patch and had the best time ever! They had hay rides and a band, corn maze, singers on the hay rides, horses, a hay pile to fight in and so much more. Here are some pictures of the day. I had to post the picture of Allison playing in the hay because it looks awesome and don't we all just want to play in the hay sometimes?

There's Hope!

2006-10-11T11:28:00.000-07:00

Yesterday Jay and I took the kids and had a day of family time. Of course with that comes the trip to Costco because it wouldn't be family time without that. Anyway after we did that and took Cassie to sell her Sparks cookies (she sold all of them in 10 mintues) we took the kids to White Spot. Yes, all 4 and yes, VERY, VERY BRAVE! I have to say..My kids, were, **drumroll please* - Amazing! Not just, oh hey they were pretty good..they were amazing..Jay and I actually felt quite relaxed after that lunch. I mean who feels relaxed after having lunch out with 4 kids? Well, we did. I honestly did not know it was possible. Hello, children? You know in restaurants you're supposed to throw tantrums, food and anything else you can get your hands on. Not sit there quietly, coloring and playing with eachother..Who does that anymore? So there you have it parents, there's hope! And the twins got to meet a little Cameron who was born on the exact day and year they were.

My Girl, Cassie!

2006-10-04T17:38:00.000-07:00

- Jay, Birnie and the kids exploring a "forest" we found the other night when we got KFC and went to the Park for a picnic dinner....

For those of you who don't know we have started homeschooling Cassie, so far the best decision we have ever made. Today we were writing in her journal and she asked if she could put it on the computer like mommy does. I, of course thought BLOGGER BABY! Please post comments to her as they arrive in her email and we all know how much kids love email or mail in general. You can go here www.cassie6.blogspot.com or look over to your left and click on My Girl, Cassie. And never, ever base my typing here and grammer on what I am teaching my child. We are supported by a certified teacher and she attends classes 2 days a week..and well I am learning too which is great! Anyway here's some recent photos of my awesome children.

My Son!

2006-09-29T20:24:00.000-07:00

My Mother in Law just phoned me and we were laughing so hard at this I thought I would post about it cause it pretty much describes my son. Cassie and him have spent the weekend with their Momma and Papa and today they all went to the beach. They were having an amazing time, looking at the fish, going for a walk and waiting to see the train. "Uncle Dan's train to be exact." They were walking along the pier where there were a crowd of people looking at something so being the curious little kids they are they walked over to see a crab that someone had caught. All of a sudden Cameron took off running and screaming away from the crab. I can just imagine the look on everyones face as my 4 year old son took off like a bat outta hell running and screaming down the pier with Momma, Papa and Cassie trying to catch him and calm him down only to have him repeat this over again on their way back down the pier when a big fish had been caught. Then Cassie telling him "Cameron, you sound like a girl!." And Papa wants to take him fishing? He is, my fourth daughter! Gotta love him.

Update!

2006-09-28T16:57:00.000-07:00

First we want to thank everyone for their help, well wishes and just the phone calls to see how we are doing..Things are getting better...Jay had the appointment with his surgeon and he said Jay was, of course, lucky he didn't need a plate. He is suffering from memory loss and insomnia right now so we are keeping an eye on that as he still has some swelling on his brain. The injuries included shattered cheek bone, dislocated jaw, concussion and whip lash. He will slowly starting going back to work next week but it all depends on how he feels and he needs to be off pain meds and of course be able to sleep a full night. The kids are doing good. They think that daddy was clumsy and had a fall..No need to scare them. They are loving having him home. Anyway from now on, only happy posts! I hope! Love you all, thanks again. xoxo

Thank you!

2006-09-26T09:45:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to post a big thank you to the guy who thought it would be fun to blind side my husband in the side of the head with god only knows what and caused us a weekend of fun. The surgery my husband went through to repair the shattered cheek(the ink lines will show you exactly where you fractured his cheek and how many breaks there were) you gave him was delightful. It was his first surgery so thank you so much for letting him have his first oppurtunity in doing that well his family sat happily not at all worried because hey...He gets to have his FIRST surgery. Nevermind the fact that if you had only hit him an inch higher you could have caused even more damage, if not death and time will tell if there is any more serious damage. Our kids are doing great and love the new look you have given their daddy and although they don't know the truth about what actually happened they are very excited about the damage you gave him.
Sense my tone, asshole.

Brilliant!

2006-09-23T11:51:00.000-07:00

In my brilliant attempt to combine the two blogs I completed deleted the other one. Not so smart! I should know better..I am not that computer savvy (sp?).
Not much to say right now..The babies are tugging at my leg so I will start formally posting soon.

2006-09-06T15:33:00.000-07:00

Treadmill-dance

I love watching this! Don't think I should try this at home though.

Moving

2006-09-06T15:06:00.000-07:00

Jay was feeling left out that his name wasn't included in our address for our blog so here I am with a new blog and now it's Jaylee! Sorry if there's any confusion but I will be combining the two soon..Wish me luck!
