It was so nice out yesterday that the boys and I went to a park and played for awhile. I made a slideshow of the pictures. Brayden was being himself and not sharing the soccer ball. He would kick to the other little boys, but when they went to kick it back to him he would run over and pick it up. Chase was the little ham he always is and was chasing the other little kids or was posing for the camera.

Candles

I was trying to some items up and came across a couple of candles, that I'm willing to part with. AKA Jordan says I need to sell some of the candles I have. So I'm selling my 26 oz Bella clean sheets candle, a 8oz Bella cinnamon vanilla, a metal candlestick pod warmer, and a 4" x 4" French vanilla and Buttercream pillar. If interested let me know and I'll give ya some prices. Also if you are ever wanting to buy some but don't want to wait for it to come in, I have a lot and I do mean a lot of candles I keep for my personal use that I haven't even used yet. So I can always see if I have what you want, just let me know!!!


PS Easter pictures coming soon.

Easter Eggs

Thought I would share some pictures of the boys and I "painting" in chases words our eggs.

Oh by the way just so you know Rocket was hit by a car Monday evening.

Well since the last time I was posted there has been a lot going on. Early Tuesday morning I took Rocket up to Jerseyville animal clinic. They got him in the room and got him x-rayed. He has a broken tibia in his left leg and his left hip was fractured and dislocated. SO they made me leave him there till later that afternoon. Well Jess wanted me to go shopping with her, so Jordan made me go, so I could get my mind off the dog. So we went to Midrivers mall in St. Peters. As we were leaving I called to check on Rocket and see if he was done yet. He was ready to come home, so I drive all the way down to the Winfield ferry with through Calhoun and went to Jerseyville, instead of driving all the way to Alton, and back to Jerseyville. We finally got Rocket home and the poor thing has a splint on his leg. He can barely walk. He drags his splint around and we have to carry him outside to go potty and anywhere else he wants to go, and this will go on for about a month. About his parvo he's acting like a regular dog , or as regular as he can for being in a splint.

Rocket

Our doggie has been sick since Friday evening. He's finally acting like he feels a little better. He has ate some food on his own today and drank some water, but I am still taking him to the vet. He had a Dr. appointment to get all his shots, but Brayden ended up in the hospital that day and there was no one to take Rocket to the vet. I ended up totally forgetting about until now. So my puppy might have parvo. My sister said they can come through it if we keep him hydrated. So we have been forcing him to drink pedilyte. Hopefully he'll come through. We got to the vet today at 10:45 so hopefully it was just something he ate and not parvo. Keep your fingers crossed.

Busy week

This has been one of my busiest weeks in awhile. This week I have gone on an interview and got a new job!!! YEAH!!!! Also Jordan has turned in a few applications, cross your fingers that he gets an interview. I have been shopping like crazy for the wedding. I have gotten bubbles, ribbon, and received my contract for the flowers. I have also gotten a few things for a surprise to Jordan for the wedding. Chase had today off of school, which was nice to be able to sleep in for abit. I'm enjoying my new camera. I have been taking pictures like crazy. I'll post some today we took outside will playing. I wanna mess around in photoshop before I post any. I also bought a flash for my camera. Now that I wrote everything out it doesn't look like a busy week, but my feet hurt so I feel the busy.

Lanterns and buckets

On Saturday, my sister, mom and I went out to buy some silk flowers for my kissing balls to hang at the ceremony, will while at Hobby Lobby I happened to come across purple lanterns. They had also had orange ones but where all out at that store. So last night I decided to call the Hobby lobby in St. Peters and they had them! So I went out today and bought those and 6 big ones and 2 buckets to use at the wedding. Here's some pictures of them.

The lanterns, these are the meduim sized ones and the bigger ones are huge.




The buckets

My new camera!

I got my new camera on Saturday, but with everything going on I am just now blogging about it. My new camera is a Sony Alpha a100, a 10.2 megapixel camera. I loved my old worn out Sony Mavica cd-500, so I decided to go with another Sony. So here is some Pictures I took of Rocket. These are pics with the old camera.






And here are some Pictures that I took with my new kick ass camera.


I love this pic of Rocket.





So what do you all think?

Tag I'm it

I have been tagged not only by one person but by 3, Amber, Abi, and Amanda.

Here are the rules: Link to the person who tagged you. Post the rules on your blog. Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog. Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs. Leave a comment on their blogs so that they know they have been tagged!

1. I was a very sick baby when I was born. The doctors told my parents to get my Baptized asap, because they didn't know how long I would live. As a result of my mom being catholic and my father Methodist, and married in a Methodist church, I was call the eye of an bastard by a priest in Bethalto. Well as it comes to be I didn't die and I still have not been baptized, and probably never will be.

2. One of the many problems I had as a baby- even now is I was deaf as a baby and had to have 6 sets of tubes in my ears before the age of 5. Right now I would say I am partially deaf. I can hear you very well if you are looking right at me, but if your maybe a foot away and not looking at me and your voice is a certain tone, I cannot hear you. This sometimes starts fights with Jordan and me, but he knows it's not that I am ignoring him, it's just I can hear him sometimes.

3. Jordan and I met through my Brother in law. He had set us up on a blind date, and Jordan almost stood me up.

4. I almost died while giving birth to my 2yr old. I had to have a blood transfusion, and my mom says they had to do do CPR on me. All I remember is fighting to stay awake until my son was born and being able to see him, after that I don't remember anything until I woke up in another room with my mom crying and, Jordan sitting there with a worried look on his face. In the pictures of me holding Brayden when I woke I up, I had look as pale as death.

5. I love photography. I love black and white pictures, and anything to do with it. I really want to get into being a wedding photographer, but I want to work under someone learning everything from them. I would even work for free, just for the learning experience. Any photographer out there reading this, if you need any help let me know!

6. I have a half brother that is only 351 days older then my oldest son. That's right. My half brother is 17 years younger then me. The bad thing is my dad tries to have my sister and me have a relationship with him, but we live 300+ miles away from him, and we have only seen him maybe a hand full of times. I would love for him and my kids to know one another, but with being so far away, and my dad no longer married to his mother, and not having full custody, it would be very hard for them to have that relationship right now.

7. I would love to travel, but I am afraid once I do travel and get there I would not eat anything there. Jordan and I are the most pickiest eaters. If I was guaranteed that there was food there I would eat, I would travel in a heartbeat.

I know I am suppose to tag 7 more people, but I cannot seem to think of 7 other people to tag. So my tag game ends here.

Hospital

As I sit here and type this post, I am just so relieved to be home. Brayden was sick all last week as of Tuesday. I thought it was just a simple cold and was giving him Dimeatap. Well Sunday we were getting ready to head of to Jordan's moms, and then his dads when my mom put her hand on Braydens back and felt the gunk in his chest. He had pneumonia. So at 10:30 in the morning Brayden and I head to the ER, and Jordan and Chase head over to Jordan's moms. So they get Brayden into a room pretty fast, get him breathing treatment, and x-rays. They come back and yes he has pneumonia. So they move us to a different room still in the ER and take some blood for some tests. So about now it's Noon, then when the tests got back it was about 1:30-2:00pm. The doctor comes in and tells me that they are going to admit him for the night to get him hydrated, the good nes is they weren't transfereing him to Childrens like 3-4 other children they had transfered. So they tell me they are waiting on a nurse to get in and they would get us to his room, but in the mean time they have to put in an Iv. Great me by myself with my strong little 2 year old, and a nurse trying to get an Iv in his arm. Well they got it the first time, but by the time they were done I was in tears, and he was screaming MOMMY over and over again. We finally got transfered to our room at 8:30pm. So as of Sunday at 8:35pm we were in room 135 in the hospital. Sharing a bed with 2 yr old and trying to sleep and makeing sure he didn't pull out his iv, was not a fun stay. We finally got to leave the hospital this morning around 9 am. One thing that got us through was that Jordan brought me my laptop with some of Brayden's favorite movies. SO I haven't had more then 5 hours of sleep since Sunday. I am a tired person.
