Wow it's been awhile!

I don't think I realized how long it has been since I had posted anything!!!
Well so sum up the last few months.... Jarod and Madison finished the school year off with a BANG! and great grades. we are so proud of them!!
then a week after school was out, the two of them headed to Florida to spend a few months with their grandparents there!! As of right now they are having a blast!! We will see them next week at Seaworld for a few days and then we part ways once again until the end of July. They will be back at the end of the month for Madison's baptism on August 1st!!
Miley is growing and learning! She is talking clearer each day and becoming more independent also! Well for now that is the summary. I will be sure to add more soon!

OH MY!!

Ok so I never had this happen with Madison... probably because she was monitored so closely by my Mom at this age.
Got home from work last night and since Shaun was working on homework with Madison and Jarod and cooking dinner, Miley was in the "girls'" room playing and watching some Noggin. So I get home and go to say hello to her, first thing I noticed she has an extremely dirty diaper that has painted the sheets.... then I notice that there is something pink painting her shirt also.... so as I look around I look more closely at her face and notice the culprit.... Miley had found Madison's shimmery pale lipgloss (that was not put away properly) and has used it ALL. Not only did she paint her shirt but she painted her bedding and bed and legs and hands and hair and attempted her first eye shadow application. I must say she did a fairly good job...giving herself a pink "black eye"! LOL I guess this is what happened after I noticed her carefully watching Sunday on the way to church as I sat in the passenger seat applying my makeup in the mirror. If Mommy does it then I can do it!!!!

Easter!!!

WOW HOW FAST THEY GROW!!

School pics are in (so no pics of Miley)

It's never ending!

Ok so Thursday evening at 11:30, my mom called and I had to call 911 and rush to her house because she couldn't breathe. So now she is in the hospital with them trying to remove all the edema from her body, especially the lungs. The kind of need to do heart surgery but at this point they do not think that she would make it through either type that they would need to do. So hopefully today's possible CT scan will reveal the problem is not bad enough to necessitate surgery! but anyways while she is in there I am going to do my best to get her house cleaned up because she has let it go once again! So we shall see if I am up to the complete battle of it all!
Madison has her follow up appt today with the surgeon but I'm sure everything will go well with that. Tomorrow Miley has her follow up with the ENT and we shall know if we are dealing with an ear infection or not!
Work Work Work!!! Along with cleaning up my mom's house I have tons of hours to make up at work this next month also!!! oh I think I will need a vacation this summer! LOL I think I'm looking forward to the kids being out of school because then we don't have worry about homework and bedtimes as much with everything else going on!!

WOW IT'S BEEN AWHILE!!

Okay so I know it's been WAY TOO long since I've posted but it's been so crazy!! Now I'm writing to purge the mind...
Life has just been crazy with work for Shaun and I and it's been crazy with a now 21 month old that is going at lightning speed like her brother!!
In the last month this is what has happened... 1st Miley had her adnoids removed and tubes put in her ears (but we think she's got an ear infection yet again)! 2nd I had a nasty cornea abrasion and then some other issues with the eyes going on for about two weeks...then 3rd at the end of the eye crud we thought Madison had the stomach flu for two days then the third day we found out it was appendicits and she had prompt surgery (that was the evening of 4/7). Now she is still recovering and getting her body back to full strength. And then on top of all this, today my mother calls and they say they may have to do surgery on her heart next week depending on what the CT scan shows on Tuesday!!!! Does it ever end??!!! I am just worn out! And all this still isn't everything that we have going on around us but I'm not going to bore with every detail and some are better left to self :-)
I will soon get some more pictures up on here of the kids also!! Maybe Sunday after Easter dress pictures!!
I hope all is well with everyone else!!!

Thanks Shannon!
