Day 916

Here is another old photo. This one is from 2003. Hannah loves this photo and is always carrying it around. She doesn't understand that she is NOT in this photo and will argue with me over it. This was taken Mother's day weekend at Sea World. I was pregnant with Caleb and had just gotten off of 8 weeks bed rest. I didn't exactly ease into unrestricted activity did I? Samantha is the cutie in the stroller. Josh is the little guy. Hard to believe that he is now almost as tall as me!!!!

Day 915

I forgot to take a picture today (11/2), so I found an old photo to scan. These are 2 of my senior photos. 

Day 906

No photo today, so another somewhat oldie. This is Caleb on his 3rd birthday! Why is he not wearing any clothes??? I don't know! I think it was because his skin was very irritated. Hard to believe he was that small. Then again...I can't believe how THICK that boy has always been! Time flies! Hannah is older than that now. 

Day 895

I burned another batch of cookies trying to find this photo! I have all of the other photos surrounding these, but not these 2...plus a few others. I have come to the conclusion that it was lost in the computer mishap of 2009. That was when I somehow accidentally deleted EVERY photo off of my computer. Not all of them came back! This photo is where we are about to go. I will include links to our past trips...one of which includes a horrible black eye, a hula hoop contest, and some serious dirt! The links are after the photos.

Day 647

This is a no photo day. :( Today I got fitted for contacts...a whole new experience for me!!!! It took me 20 minutes to get just 1 in. Then I kept dropping them when I tried to take them out. We finally got all set up and I was about to leave, but I looked down and couldn't read clearly. Distance is my problem, not up close. Back through the whole process again. I can say it is a very odd feeling, but I hope it will be worth the trade off since I HATE glasses and only wear them when absolutely necessary!

Wednesday 2/17

Day 645

I have no photo today. I was somewhat out of my mind. I have had a headache that will not go away since Feb 3. It has caused horrible nausea and my eyes have been bothering me too. Well, in the middle of the night I woke up in severe pain with nausea and dizziness. I couldn't go back to sleep and actually hyperventilated. Marc told me to go to the ER, so that is where I spent the night. I got home at 6:30 and went to bed. A little before 9:00 Samantha's friend's mom called to set up a play date. So I jumped out of bed to meet up. Samantha went on her very first play date without me. She even rode in someone elses car. If you know me then you know that is a HUGE thing for me. I can count on ONE hand how many people have driven my kids around and that includes me and Marc! After we dropped her off, the rest of us went grocery shopping. I did manage to doze for about an hour in the afternoon. Anyway, Samantha had a great time! Hannah missed her "mantha." Caleb had to be the funniest of all. In the car he just stared at her empty chair and made up a "I miss Samantha, it is not fair" song. He sang it the WHOLE time we were in the car.

Day 628

Today my day started around 4am. It was about that time my two younger kids came into my bed because they were terrified of the thunderstorm going on. That went on for about an hour. After I got the kids off to school, I hit the gym. Then Hannah and I kicked back for a lazy day. We played a few games and watched a movie. I finally received everything I needed to do our taxes, so I did those. Josh had social night at school, so we just did nothing. LOL After we picked Josh up we had our movie night. Just a regular Friday around our house.

Friday 1/29

Day 626

Today was a Wednesday. I went for a run and nearly got run over by an armored truck...nice. I also cut in the car rider line at Josh's school. Let me clarify by saying that the teacher get really really mad when parents just park in front of the door and don't pull all the way forward to the stop sign. I am guessing this one parent (it is always the same car) really really wanted to be in front of the door. We were a little late and tons of cars had filed in behind it and parked. The line was to long for my liking, so I pulled into a spot in the 100+ yards behind the two cars who know how to follow instructions and the guy who insisted on being by the door. I started a trend because that spot filled up quickly after I did it! LOL

Day 623

I have no photo to be found...I can bore you with facebook status updates though.... LOL

Jennifer-is getting everyone ready for church while listening to praise and worship music...love it!!

Jennifer-Day 3...please keep praying! He is doing better! (referring to Caleb)

Jennifer- Wouldn't mind watching the kids ride bikes outside if the wind wasn't so cold and blowing so hard

Jennifer-what happened to the nice warmer weather???? I am cold! :(

Jennifer-s listening to Samantha read Nancy Drew to me...about to start Caleb's bath. Prayers would be appreciated for a smooth bath, cream, and wet pajama night. He is not liking it.

Sunday 1/24

Day 621

Today we spent an eternity at the dermatologists office. They were WAY behind! Anyway, it was quite the adventure with my two youngest. I think Caleb has a crush on his doctor. He was his usual Caleb self, but when the doctor came in he went over the top! He was eating the paper off the table. He then tried to see if he could spit it to the ceiling. OMGosh....I was so embarrassed. It was just horrible. Of course all the while he has his giggle on....I think that is all I am going to say about that. You can see my specific prayer request from that visit HERE. I do NOT have a photo because the second I was about to take one of my two youngest rolling around in the mirror room, our pager went off.

Friday 1/22

Day 618

Tuesday 1/19 was spent recovering! The kids went back to school....AGAIN! I was a little confused when my alarm went off this morning. Those kids have way too many school holidays!

Day 615

Even facebook status' couldn't help me with today!!! I am pretty sure my day was spent being lazy, hydrating, and eating pasta....

Saturday 1/16

Day 613

Thursday 1/14---no photo :( I will give you a glimpse of facebook status updates though.

Jennifer-has decided I will NEVER be a morning person. It doesn't matter how many years or days in a row I have to get up early!

Jennifer-is about to go shopping for a birthday gift

Jennifer-Please put this on your status if you know someone who is an idiot. Idiots affect the lives of many. There is still no known cure for stupidity, but we can raise awareness ...... 93% won't Copy and Paste this, will YOU make this your status for at least one hour?

Jennifer-has a 3 year old that can not nap during the day! Even 10 minutes worth or sleep wires the child out and she is bouncing all night!

I know, I am a dork! LOL

Day 609

Again, no photo. This was a Sunday (1/10), so we know it included church. Other than that facebook can't even help me out because my only update had to do with my annoyance of the crazy cold temperatures.

Day 608

This was a Saturday (1/9)...I don't have a picture. :( Honestly, I can't even remember what we did. Probably hung around having a lazy Saturday. HA! I looked it up on Facebook! Hannah started the day saying, "I princess mommy" while wearing her crown. The outside temperature made it to 32*...first time in a few days. The kids played outside; then I got annoyed because all the kids in the hood appeared in the backyard...I don't even know who some of them are and they are as young as 4. Where are their parents? Why are these kids just wandering around the streets? I kicked them all out and brought my kids inside for a while. I looked up and Caleb was playing computer game that electrocuted a bunny....then he got to do surgery on it. Finally we made jello....OUTSIDE! LOL How I didn't manage to catch any of that on film I will never know. :)

Day 601

Seeing how we got behind a little again with updating the blog, I am sure you are not surprised to learn that I either don't have or can't find a photo for the day. All I remember about the day is that it was a Saturday. :)
