The Superbowl and Our Anniversary....

2010-02-07T19:21:00.000-06:00

Good evening! Today is a very special day. Its our anniversary AND its the superbowl. Pretty cool if you ask me. I told Mike he had to make a decision between me and football. It's a good thing that I'm such a sweet wife and let him watch the game :-) Actually I love football and have been very excited this year because the Saints are playing for the first time ever. This household loves the Cowboys but we ARE from Louisiana and have to root for the Saints. I'm also reading The Pioneer Woman and learning how to operate my camera. I'm multi-tasking like that plus she is awesome and I wish I lived like her - except for the homeschooling part! If you've never read her blog - you must. She is very funny.

Anyway, today is 12 years that Mike and I have been married. Sometimes I still can't believe it. A lot has happened in the last year of our marriage. I was laid off from my job and was able to spend the summer with our kiddos. And now working part time -I am loving every minute of it and I think it has made our marriage better with me being home more for the kids.

Today Chad & Jenny taught a marriage lesson. It was excellent and as we left I thanked God that today was the day they taught. Mike and I discussed the lesson as we came home from church today and I'm so thankful that we can talk about those things - even if sometimes they are hard subjects - although today wasn't.

So, Happy Anniversary sweetheart and I dedicate this song to you. Although this about Christ it is how I feel about my husband. The one who God put me with for the rest of our lives.

I Love You Mike and GEAUX Saints!

Yea, I'm alive!

So my friend Amy had to define what a blog is to me....you know, because good friends do that when one of you hasn't blogged in quite some time. We've both given each other the "Worst Blogger of the Year Award" and deserved it. Let me say - I love Amy. She is funny, smart and a sarcastic and I love her because she is exactly like me except for the funny and smart part which I am not. But I do have really good comebacks - although not near as good as my brother who is freaking hilarious. Not sure why I just posted that except to let her know that I'm gonna be blogging again! Thanks Amy for calling me back to reality.

So enjoy your day and I'll see you tomorrow (hopefully)

Holiday Time

2009-10-20T20:45:00.000-05:00

So, the holidays are right around the corner! This means I get to have lots of fun with new headbands! I have made several for Halloween and am about to start some general fall and Christmas headbands. Totally cute!

I also made these blocks last year - so much fun and so cute. I plan on doing some for Christmas this year as well. Let me know if you'd like to order anything. Send an email to aggyexpressions@gmail.com.

Happy Holidays,

Wendy

Fun Weekend

2009-09-30T12:51:00.006-05:00

Here I sit on a Saturday night with two of the most special people a mom could ask for. Me and the kiddos are having a great weekend together. Mike is at a prison in Louisiana and will be back tomorrow. We are almost done with Sports Reach for this year. He has one more day trip and then the weekends are free until next March. I'm really proud of him and all the guys on Texas Sports Reach for all they do. I don't tell him enough but they are making a difference in these inmates lives. Some of them do not have any visitors and the guys are the only outside people they see. This year has been really easy on us wives because many weekends have been rained out - especially this past spring. Thankfully someone else is going to do the scheduling next year and it will give Mike a break. I keep telling him it would be a perfect paid position for me :-)

Since the guys are gone Tami and the girls came over. We have not gotten to see them very much the past couple of months. It was great to hang out together and let the kids play. The weather is getting so nice even though it was raining again today! I will take it though. I am so very thankful for friends that understand me and that I can just sit and laugh with. We had a good time and when they left we headed over to Brandy and Amy's. Amy's parents are in town so we went to see them. They are so sweet and I'm thankful that Brandy has great in-laws.

Me and the kids also decorated the house for Halloween. I'm not a big Halloween person but I still love my decorations! Here a few pics of some things we have. I love my new ghost that I got in Canton. Have I mentioned lately that I love, love, love going to Canton. Of course, now that I'm working part time - there is not much money to spend there! I made the blocks on the mantle - another great idea from where else....Canton! They are super fun and I think I'll do some for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year.

Now that I'm typing all this I realize this was a busy day - not to mention that we went to the donut store this morning and then Michael's, Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart! Then we came home and I cleaned. Not to bad for a lazy Saturday :-)

I'm praying for the Sports Reach guys as they prepare for tomorrow and pray for the inmates that they would hear the Word of God with open hearts and open minds.

Its not funny now....but it will be one day

2009-09-13T20:16:00.002-05:00

So we've had 3 straight days of rain. I don't mean just a couple of showers I'm talking straight rain...We need it really bad but that is not the point of my story!

I've been working a lot the past couple of days and yesterday I wanted to take a nap really really bad. We told the kids that we were going to take a nap. Not to long after I laid down I heard our door beep. I knew someone had opened the door. I didn't worry about it. Then Kendall came in our room and Mike asked her what she was doing - I'm getting my blanket. Ok. Kendall shut the back door that is open. Ok she said. Then I heard the door beep again and got up to see what they were doing. Let me remind you - its raining outside! I get to the back door and Kendall is coming in the door with nothing on but a jacket! BUTT NAKED! Oh my goodness....so, I go outside and Cam is sitting on our patio table with his jacket and underwear on. They had put the umbrella up - put blankets all over the table and climbed up on the table. Can you say mad!!!!! I was livid! Seriously, what makes you kids think that sitting on a glass table in the pouring rain - naked - is ok???? So, we had a little chat about how dangerous that is and how you could get hurt, yada yada yada! It wasn't funny yesterday but I know it will be one day! Just a day in the life of my crazy kids who come up with crazy ideas like sitting in the rain under the umbrella.

Our little birthday Boy!

2009-09-10T22:25:00.003-05:00

Happy Birthday Cameron! I can't believe you are four years old. You are such a handsome little boy and some people say you look like your Papaw and Uncle Brandy. I'll take that any day! You are so full of life and so happy. You are very funny and sensitive. You

love your sister! You tell me every day that you don't want to grow up because you want to be my little buddy and I tell you that you will always be my buddy no matter what. You have blessed our lives the last four years and completed our family. I pray that you continue to amaze us with your sayings and funny personality. We love you so much!

My boy is growing and is still saying some funny things and smart stuff to:

Cam to my mom: My father doesn't live in my house

Mom: Yes he does....

Cam: No, my Father, God and Jesus, live in Heaven.

____________________________________

Mom: Nonnie needs to potty

Cam: Don't forget to shake so you don't get your panties wet....

____________________________________

Cam: (wearing his new boots) I want to go to the Cowboys Stadi

um and see the horses and cows. (Sorry buddy - no cowboys at the Stadium)

____________________________________

Thank you Lord for blessing our family with both Kendall and Cameron. They are awesome kiddos and we love them so much!

Changes, Changes, Changes

2009-08-21T23:56:00.002-05:00

I hope everyone has had a great summer. We are wrapping up our summer fun and getting ready for lots of changes. Kendall starts 1st grade and we couldn't be more excited. We got to meet her teacher last night and guess what??? She is from Louisiana and went to LSU! How could we not love her immediately! Actually, she was so nice and welcoming to us. Kendall is very excited because her friend Ashley is going to be in her class again this year. I don't know what she would have done if Ashley were not in there. And, Cam will be going to "school" every day and he is so excited. He keeps telling me that he has to do his homework. I sure hope he is that excited when he really does start school. I'm excited for him and know that he will do great.

In other news, I have accepted a position with KiDs Beach Club. I am nervous and excited at the same time. This is such a great opportunity to watch God move. KBC is an after school program for kids 3-6 grades and I will be an Area Director. Basically, managing 20 clubs - although I don't have that many yet. Thank goodness - I might go mad if I had to do it all at once. I am also working part-time for Foster Grant. They sell sunglasses and reading glasses in stores like CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Staples, Family Dollar, etc. It is a merchandising position and will work really well with my schedule and with the kids. Unemployment was great for the summer but I am ready to get back to work and I'm very thankful that I have had the chance to stay home with the kids for a while. I will never get this time back with them and I really enjoyed having them - even if they did drive me crazy!

Mike and I also went to Michigan for his 20 year reunion. It was such a wonderful time and everyone was so nice. I was very nervous since I did not know anyone but it was awesome. We were able to go hiking, spend the day at Lake Superior, drive around the old base and just fun stuff. I have made some new friends and Mike has rekindled old friendships. I hope this is not the last time that we see all of these people. As well, Michigan was absolutely beautiful! I can't even describe how pretty it is with all of the trees and greenery. So unlike Dallas :-)

It has been a wonderful summer and now its back to reality for all of us! We are excited for another school year and another year of learning. Blessings to all of you and your families.

Monkey Children

2009-07-30T11:30:00.005-05:00

I always call the kids my monkey doodles. I have no idea where that came from or who I got it from but its stuck. They have always been climbers and jumpers. The furniture in our house is not to sit on but to jump off of and do flips off the side. I just had to show a couple of pics for proof.

Our Little Golfer

2009-07-30T11:13:00.005-05:00

Cameron is definitely all boy! When my parents were in town a couple of months ago we took Cam to get his first golf bag. He had been asking for one but we hadn't been able to find one that didn't include golf clubs. Finally we found one and Cam was so excited. He wore that thing on his back the rest of the night. A few day later Mike took him to the driving range. He absolutely loved it! Cam is like his daddy and has the eye/hand coordination down pat. On the other hand - Kendall and I struggle - ALOT! They had so much fun and Cameron is still talking about "playing golf" with his daddy. I hope they get to go again soon (like tomorrow) and do it again. I love these boys so much and am so glad that Cameron likes to do this stuff with his daddy. This is what memories are made of!

Summer Fun

2009-07-01T08:54:00.005-05:00

Its been a while since I've posted anything....not because I don't have lots to say its just that we've been busy with VBS, a week at my parents and sickness! VBS was great. We had about 130 kids each day in our area and around 750 kids for all of VBS. It was so great to see the kids having a good time and enjoying themselves. After VBS we went to my parents house for a week while Mike was on his mission trip to Colorado with Sports Reach. Sat and Sun were fun and the kids were in the pool non stop but then Monday hit and it went downhill from there. Kendall woke up with the stomach virus and was sick all day and into Tuesday. She got better and then Wednesday she started complaining about her ear. Well, I knew she didn't have an ear infection because I had taken her to the dr. on Tues and they had checked. We came home on Thurs and went to the dr. on Friday and she had swimmers ear. Her ear was swollen shut and that is why she was in so much pain. I felt so bad for her but she is doing great now. Back to normal and bossing Cameron around.

But before the last couple of weeks went by we were having even more fun. We went to the lake for Bobby's birthday with some other friends. It was lots of fun and great to get away for a weekend without the kids. Bobby is such a great guy and to pull this off without him knowing was awesome. He was truly surprised that all of us were there.

Total Randomness

2009-06-10T09:20:00.011-05:00

I always want to post but I feel like I have so many random little things in my head that my posts would be terribly long. Anyway, these last couple of weeks have been busy and this month is going to be packed. I am very fortunate that I am keeping a couple of my friends kids a few days each week through the summer. Being on unemployment is hard financially and keeping the kiddos really helps with little stuff. Thank you my sweet friends.

Also, my sweet baby girl graduated from kindergarten this year. Any mother will tell you how sweet and how sad all of that is. I remember bringing Kendall home and those first months of no sleep and now 6 years later she is a beautiful little girl who is full of life. She is very friendly, loves her friends, is protective of her brother and loves her family. I am so blessed that I get to be her mom. I pray that she continues to grow into a sweet young lady and that she will follow the Lord. Here are some pics from her graduation.

Even before graduation we had Kendall's 6th birthday party. We had a sleepover and it was great. I love the fact that Kendall is surrounded by such great girls. They all come from Christian homes and have wonderful parents who are good friends of ours. I know there will come a day when this will not be the case so I will relish in the fact that these are the sweetest girls and that they all get along so well. I had a whole night of stuff planned for them but of course we did none of it - they would rather jump on the trampoline than have any kind of organized agenda. So, we threw it out the window and let them play. Monica, Avery's mom, was so awesome and came and spent the evening with us. I don't know what I would have done without her! Plus, the two of us can talk it up like you've never seen! I'm so glad that she was there for the party but even more so for the friendship. Now, here are some pics of the party.

I told you we've been busy! In my next post, I'll tell you about Cam's first time to the driving range and our Memorial Day Weekend/Bobby's birthday party! Stay tuned.

Crazy things we do!!!

2009-05-19T18:13:00.004-05:00

Good afternoon! I am soooooo loving this weather! I spent several hours outside today and got a nice little sunburn going! Yes, I know....I should be in the shade or have some sunblock on....but I am a sun worshipper. I don't even like summer (in Texas at least) except that I usually get a really good tan and I just feel better. I LOVE winter time and my big sweaters, jeans and my new found friend - cow"girl" boots. But there is something to be said for wearing cute little dresses (to hide the big fat bottom) and flip flops. If I could get away with it I wouldn't wear shoes at all. Anyway, I digress but I am loving the weather right now....before it gets 100 degrees.

So you know when you are pregnant and you kind of get the sillies? You just do stuff you wouldn't normally do. When I was pregnant I once tried to put the hamburger meat in the pantry and the water in the garage instead of the fridge. Its those silly little things that we do that make you laugh. Well, I'm not pregnant anymore but I did one of those things today. I was putting clothes in the dryer and took out the last dryer sheet. I promptly put the empty box in the dryer and threw away the dryer sheet...but I caught myself right as I did it. It makes laugh to think about it.

So - I thought I would post a couple more Cameronisms as he seems to be full of them lately.

alligator = elevator
swim soup = swimsuit
black socks = white socks with black stripes

And lastly - Cameron loves the color green and when I say love I mean it. He wants everything in green = dogs, ipod, food, etc. He told me the other day that something would be great if only it were green. I don't remember what it was - but it was definitely something that would never be green.

We also spent the day at Julie's house with Joley and Emery. Being unemployed and "looking" for a job is always a challenge when you need childcare. I have been so blessed by Julie's friendship and her willingness to keep Cameron and help me out. I have been going to meetings at Kids Beach Club and am praying about this opportunity. They would like for me to work for them but they are a non-profit and donations are down due to the economy. Julie has been a rock for me - allowing me to go to these meetings and not having to worry about childcare or Cameron. Please be praying that KBC is able to raise enough funds to bring me on staff. It would be a perfect opportunity for our family. www.kidsbeachclub.org.

As well, there is another opportunity for me to work from home. Leigh Ann's son Parker plays soccer and one of the moms is an ER doctor. She is also the designated person for Arlington to close the schools due to health related events and need I mention a single mom with 2 kids. She is in need of help and Leigh Ann was so great to talk to her about me and presented the opportunity of me working for her on a part time basis. I'm really excited about this and so thankful to Leigh Ann for thinking of me.

Could you please be praying for these opportunities and that God would open the door(s) to where he wants me to be. Things are so in the air right now and I think about things constantly.

Ok, this post was totally random and I guess I had alot to say. Anyway, I am going to post some pics from the day at Julie's soon. I took them with my cell so they may not turn out but it was such a beautiful day and the kids had a blast.

Love,
Wendy

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-05-13T09:53:00.015-05:00

Each year our Sunday School Class has an egg hunt and every year it is either freezing cold or has rained the day before. Well, this year was no exception. It was so stinkin' cold and the wind was blowing so hard that even kids were asking to go home! I am starting to pray right now that next year will be awesome. The kids have such a great time and love running and playing and then hunting for the eggs. The dads in our class are so awesome because they go and hide them all and by "hide" I mean they put them in a field :-)

This year our friend Jay asked me if I knew how to count to 12. I told him no because I was from Louisiana and at the time not really understanding why he asked - but then I remembered. We are only supposed to bring 12 eggs per child. Well, I just think that the kids need more than 12 eggs so I always bring several more. I really enjoying watching them and want to make sure they get plenty. Jay is so funny and I just love his family as well as all the others in our class. We have been very blessed with such a good group of friends. I guess that is why we still drive 20 minutes to church each week.

Here are some pics from our weekend. Aren't these the cutest kiddos!

Annual Ski Trip

2009-04-30T21:40:00.010-05:00

In March we went to Colorado again. We go every year and leave the kids with our favorite family - the Moots. Julie is just the greatest and has blessed us every year by taking off for a week and watching the kiddos and fixing us bubble bread for breakfast. This year we decided to leave the kids in Louisiana with the grandparents. It was awesome to have a week away but I really missed my babies. I don't think they missed us at all with all the fun stuff they were doing with all the cousins. Cameron totally loves Taylor and Hilary and always wants to go see them so I know it was fun for him to spend time with them. Kendall looks up to Emily and loves to be with her and since her and Taylor are the same age its always fun for those two to get together. I wish they all lived closer so that we could see them more often but we AIN'T movin back to LA anytime soon :-)

This year we went to CO with Scott and the Gills. We also got to ski with Adam and Julie. It was awesome for them to come up and Liz and Jeremy also came up and spent the night but skieed at Copper (another of my favorite places). Julie is such a rockstar! She hasn't been skiing in a long time and did great. I'm also so proud of Adam. He had only been one other time and after a little bit was doing great. We went to a great little restaurant after skiing and it was so relaxing!

This was a little different than in years past because we've always had such a big group. But, I actually enjoyed it being the 5 of us. It is much easier to plan stuff out and me and Jen get along so well that its always fun. Plus, it gives me an accomplice when harassing Scott. Believe me, we did plenty of that this year! We skiied at Keystone and Vail and went snowmobiling in Winter Park. Summit County does not allow unguided tours so we drive to WP so that we can have a little more fun and see how fast we can go. I always get in the back of the group because I go so slow. It seems the boys have a little speed demon in them! Its a good thing you can't get a ticket for speeding.

A treat for me this was getting to go on the Coors/Miller tour. Now, I'm no beer drinker but it was very interesting to see how it was made. Let me say this to - it STUNK in there. After smelling all the hops and stuff they use I don't know how anyone could drink that nasty stuff. Oh well, it was still alot of fun.

Here are some pics from our trip. We look forward to spending time with the Moots every year. They are so special to us and our kids adore them. They are like family and we hope to be in Kentucky next summer extending the family!

The Gills (Scott & Jen)

Julie, Wendy, Scott, Jen, Scott, Mike & Adam
(notice how we are arranged by height - that wasn't planned)

The crew at Bubba Gumps!

Snowmobiling in Winter Park

Us and the Shoans - they are a hoot....

What a great week! We can't wait to go back next year.

Cute New Background

2009-04-28T16:45:00.005-05:00

So today I decided to try and give my blog a little upgrade....do you like it??? If you know me then you know I love pink and brown right now so what better colors for my blog to be :-)

Remember when I told you that my friend Amy said I was the worst blogger? Well, I now officially give her that title. She hasn't posted anything in quite some time and she is so stinkin funny that I always look forward to reading her "insights into life". I'll give her the benefit right now because she does have a lot going on. Please be praying for her family and her husband's family!

This post isn't about anything really except I have tons of prayer requests. It just seems like there is so much to pray for right now! Here goes:

my cousin and his wife - marriage problems my friend Jennifer's sister - pregnant with twins - PRAISE! She has been trying for a long time. I am going to have a table at a vendor fair this weekend - my first! direction in my job search and where God wants me to be VBS - starts June 15 and I am in charge of registration we are traveling a lot between now and the end of June my mom and her job situation - she knows she is going to lose her job and is hanging in till the end so she can get severance (they've said they are going to take care of the employees) our friends who are trying to sell their house and for God's will to happen if they don't for my sister-in-law to get pregnant - she will be such a great mom!

I am still enjoying unemployment but know that I need to work. I love being home with Cameron and being able to pick Kendall up from school. I also was able to go on her field trip with her and that was so much fun. Here a few picks from that day.

Tomorrow, a post about our ski trip and the Easter egg hunt....I just remembered that I haven't posted those pics!

Have a great day!

The Grocery Game, a little funny and God's word!

2009-03-31T11:21:00.003-05:00

Since unemployment is my life these days, I am trying to find new ways to save money. I've always clipped coupons but usually let them expire because I'm just to lazy to go through them. Well, no more....After talking to my friend Brittney the other day I joined www.grocerygame.com. It is fairly cheap and they do all the work for you. I went to the store this morning and saved over $68.00 - how awesome is that. Money saved! Goal achieved! I am now addicted after one week and can't wait to see how much more I can save once I stockpile my coupons.

I also signed up at couponmom.com and coupon.com. There are lots of coupons that you print right from your computer without buying a coupon. Also, Kroger doubles and triples coupons everyday which is a great way to save as well.

As usual Cameron has made me laugh. We went to the store this morning and as we were leaving he told the bagger guy - you have a big tummy and pointed right to it. Oh my, needless to say I was embarrassed but it was funny all the same. I love that boy!

In our Sunday school class we are going through the book of Hebrews. As we read Hebrews 4: 12-13 it really hit me.

12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 12 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight, Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

WOW - I know that my attitude is not always right and that I must give account to God for all things but just seeing this written in the word of God is just incredible. My prayer is that my thoughts and attitudes of the heart are pleasing to God and that when I give account to him I am ashamed of nothing. It will not be hidden from him. I am so thankful for a God who is so forgiving and loved us enough to send him Son to die for us. What a wonderful God we serve.

I hope you have a blessed day!

Wendy

Cameronisms......

2009-03-28T11:13:00.003-05:00

The other night I was reading Cameron the story of Noah's Ark. In our book it has animals on every page and he was asking me what each of the animals were. After I would tell him he would repeat me. So, here are some of his interpretations of the animals on the Ark.

hippopotamus - hippo and the potamus
skunk - stunk
rhinoceros - nos nes

Cam is such a mess and he is all boy. He is such a blessing to our family and I thank God everyday for him. Although not in our plans to have another child after my pregnancy with Kendall, I cannot imagine our lives without him. How could you not love this face.....

So Many New Things.....

2009-03-25T14:46:00.004-05:00

So, my friend Amy told me that I am the worst blogger....and you know what...she is right! You see, I was let go from my job in February and have been home everyday since Feb. 20th. You would think that I could actually get online and blog - but have I - NO! I've been busy doing something but I'm not quite sure what that something is. OK, yes now I remember. I went on scrapbooking weekend, went on vacation to Colorado and have enjoyed some much needed alone time. You see, I have worked since I was in high school. Always, always, always had a job and for the last six years have had two jobs - both of them fulltime! One in the corporate world and the other trying to be the mother that Christ would have me be. Well, if you read my blog back in February you would see where I merely mentioned that I was struggling with the fact that I really wanted to be home with my kids more. They are my life and I feel this very strong need to be with them. Well, be careful what you wish for because shortly after that the Lord granted my request. Of course, he knew all along this would happen and he knew the desires of my heart. Thank you God for pushing me out of my comfort zone and into a place where I had to think what in the world am I going to do. But you know what - I have a peace about everything. Even losing a really nice salary. My husband on the other hand has freaked a couple of times but I am always reminded that God is in control and has always taken care of us. Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper and not to harm you. I absolutely love this verse.

Needless to say this last month has been a ride. I have started making some things from home. I really hope to get on Etsy.com soon and start selling these things. I also met with a wonderful lady today about a part time job. I am very excited about the opportunity and am praying for God's direction. It would be perfect for our family but more importantly I want to be a perfect for them as well. I praise God and thank him for all he has done and the doors that he is opening. Our God is an awesome God and he reigns from Heaven above! Thank you Lord for watching over me and protecting our family!

Soon to come - pictures from our totally fun trip to Colorado. I love the Moots, Gills and Scottie boy and we had a great time! I can't wait to go again next year.

It is raining here in Texas and the sound of the thunder and the rain hitting the windows just makes me want to crawl up on the couch with my kiddos, start a fire and have some pizza and hot chocolate. So, I think that is what we will do tonight.

Love you all,
Wendy

Happy Anniversary Baby!!!!

Our Wedding Day - February 7, 1998

My bridal portrait

11 years later

Eleven years ago today, I was a 26 yr. old girl in love with the man of my dreams. I was excited to get married, have children and grow old together. Through all this time and the many ups and downs that marriage brings - I am still in love with this man. He is my everything and the father to my beautiful kids. We have laughed, loved, cried and fought over the years but one thing remains the same and that is my love for him. He understands me (most of the time) and comforts me when I am sad. He stands behind me in the decisions that I make and listens to me when I want to complain. He is just as gorgeous to me now as he was on this day 11 years ago.

I look forward to the many memories that we will share with each other, our families and our friends. There is no other place that I would rather be than in the arms of my husband for eternity.

What to do in this Life???

2009-02-03T10:12:00.002-06:00

Here I am again and it hasn't even been a full day. I'm getting good at this blogging thing!

This morning I was talking to Kendall and she said that she didn't want to go to the YMCA after school today. She said it was boring. Well, I know for a fact that it is not boring - if you could see her clothes you would know that she had been playing tag, playing on the playground or playing dodge ball. Does that sound boring to you??? I don't think so.

Anyway, I asked her if I should be a teacher so that I could be home with her in the afternoons and she was so excited and said yes, please mommy. I want you to be my teacher and then I can be with you after school. This about broke my heart. I absolutely love my job but since Kendall has started school I have been really convicted about being home with them. I feel like I don't see them enough and want to be there when they get home from school. I've talked to a few girlfriends and they all say I would be a great teacher because I love kids so much. Mike says I don't have the patience to teach. Well, I think I do! Its got me thinking about what I am supposed to do and should I go back to school. I love my kids so much and want to be around for all of their activities and to help with homework and just be!

Please pray for me as I seek God's will for our family and where I should be.

So, I really thought that I would update each and every day with the funny little things my kids do. Well, I've so busy and tired that I just haven't had the time. But, I'm gonna do better - promise!

Hearing conversations between little kids is always funny!

Kendall: Stop
Cameron: Stop
Kendall: Stop it Now!
Cameron: Stop it Now!
Kendall: Cameron.....
Cameron: Cameron......
Kendall: Quit copying me!
Cameron: Quit copying me!
Kendall: UGH!
Cameron: UGH!

Usually when they start this I interject and tell them to knock it off. I didn't this time because its usually Kendall who is doing the mocking in our family and she was getting a taste of her own medicine. I sat in the front seat and laughed all the way to Chick-Fil-A. She was so mad because he would not stop.

My kids are my utmost joy. They make me laugh and melt my heart every day. They learn something new every day and it brings a smile to my face. They also teach me something new every day. Life has its ups and downs and my kids bring it all into perspective each time tell me they love me.

So I was thinking of some funny things they have said over the years and words they have for things - so I thought I would list a few.

Kendall:
hot hog means hot dog
old mcdonalds means mcdonalds
S-O-N-I-C means Sonic
Chick a lay means Chick-Fil-A
blankie means blanket
bueno means taco bueno

Cameron:
mickey donalds means mcdonalds
big big chocolate milk just means chocolate milk
its hot means its cold
lub means love

Over Christmas the kids stayed with our parents. One day waited until the last minute to go poop. He ran to the bathroom and pulled his pants down. When he did a little "nugget" fell out. Nana came in and asked Cam if he pooped on the floor and he said no Nana that is dog food. Pretty quick come back for a 3 year old.

Have a great night!

Conversation tonight between my 5 year old and 3 year old

Kendall: Where is the "fire key"? (the key to our house that has flames on it)

Cameron: I don't know

Kendall: Where is the fire key Cameron?

Cameron: I don't know.....

Kendall: Are you telling the truth?

You see, we have been having talks lately about telling the truth and how important it is. So, Kendall in all her glory wanted to make sure that Cameron was telling the truth because as we all know, she is the mother of this house.

These are my two monkeys - Kendall and Cameron. They bring so much joy and laughter to our lives.

Day One

2009-01-27T12:23:00.000-06:00

So today is my first day as a blogger. I've been thinking about this for some time and my friend Amy finally talked me into it. I want this to be a place to record the memories of my children and all the crazy things that happen in our family. We have some funny kiddos and I know that one day I won't remember all the stuff they've said or done and this will help us preserve those memories.

One day soon I will try and capture some of the funny stuff they've done in the past and go forward from there. I hope you enjoy this little piece of the Aguillard family.
