All by myself.

I love love love getting ideas for different blogs and this is one I love! Check it out here. The always do a "I made it without my hubby" party and I am going to join in this time!

I 1st went to Home Depot and got a piece of wood for 51cents! And had them cut it for me . I sanded and spray painted it next. Then using Mod podge (which I LOVE) I decorated this: (Yes I know my desk is a mess I will clean it, some day...)

Next up I have been wanting to sell hair thing I make for almost a year but having a seizure and getting pregnant but a hold on that till this week I opened a shop and I am totally excited! I will be adding cute kids clothes in a few weeks so look for that. Check out my shop
Below are two samples of the hair things!

Funky town

I am having a hard week and letting things others say get to me so I must remember "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt

I am also coming up to 11 months since my seizure and I am not real sure how to feel. I am in a little bit of a funk I guess. I have this super cute fun baby and three amazing kids plus one wonderful husband and for that I am thankful. For some reason I am in a funk an all around funk.
Cleaning is no fun (not that it ever was), I want to craft but can't decide what I want to do so I do nothing, reading is okay (usually I can read a book in a few day, I have been reading the same one for a week and a half ), I cut my hair (didn't help), I bought new shoes (nothing).
I just can't figure out what the heck is wrong. Maybe I need more sleep and need to stop caring what other's say. I need to not care what they think of me or things I make or my kids or family or whatever. I need to care LESS a lot LESS!!!!

Okay vent is done......I will be back to "normal" (whatever that is) sometime when I feel like it..

Crazy Hair

Henry has the most hair out of all the kids. And it is WILD! I can't keep it down it just stand straight up. Kind of like a monkey. It's so cute. I find it funny that people tell you that you can tell if your baby will have hair or not by if you have heartburn when you are pregnant. With Kenzie I had a TON and she had NO hair and I had NO heartburn AT ALL with Henry and he has a lot. So I feel that is a BIG FAT LIE!!!!! Here is my sweet little monkey hair boy right after a bath.

Halloween 2010

Halloween was a little bit harder this year then last and not because I have one more kid but because I was super sick and not in the mood for fun. I really wanted to be in bed but seeing my cute kids did help me to feel a little better. Here are some pictures. (I only took 6 or so because I felt like poop. I would usually take at least 50) All four kids. Jordan-black spiderman, Kenzie- a witch, Bob- monkey and Henry-pumpkin
My parents with the kids. The kitty is Aliana my brothers little girl.

Jordan

Bob was really excited to be a monkey. He told everyone about it and made super cute noises too. The outfit was a 4T and he is an 18months so I had to cut off the feet and hem up the bottom but it helped to make it super fat and I loved that!

We had a great time and I can't wait till next year when I hopefully won't be sick!

Now bring on Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the crazy that comes with it!!!!!!

Miss Sassy pants is 5

5 years ago on Oct 25 at 2:10am a nurse handed a new sweet baby girl to her Daddy and that baby girl lifted her head up and looked right into her Daddy's eyes then looked around the room. That should have been our 1st clue at how life would be with Miss Loo:) She is like her mommy in many ways. She is head strong and likes things her way (or at least to think it was her idea) She is very girly and loves to have her toes painted (I painted them the day I brought her home). We love having a sweet girl in our home. She is a great big sister to Bob and Henry and a helper to Mommy.

This is how she poses for pictures.
She is a Daddy's girl.

She loves sweets too. This is her on her 1st birthday.

She always comes up with funny things. Like this from last week: after seeing milk on Henry's face she said "I didn't know milk came out of Moms boob, that is awesome!"

While listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4KLJKDXWwQ I couldn't help but think of her and of course cried (no surprise)

I love having a daughter even if she drives me crazy:)

Friends full circle

I had a friend named Nicole we met in 5th grade and became fast friends. We got in tons of trouble in 6th grade were the teacher couldn't even get our names right. In fact I don't think she ever once called me by my name. We always said our daughters would be best friends. Well I lost contact with her after high school. So I never thought that would happen. WELL... She just happened to join the same mom's group that I am in and guess what.. Our daughter love one another! It is so stinkin cute!! They play so cute and hold hand and say they are sisters. I had tears in my eyes on this day cause I just couldn't believe it. I didn't even tell Kenzie to play with her she just did.
Look how cute they are! I need to find a picture of Nicole and I and post it!

The next four year..at least

I just went to the neurologist for my check up. It has been almost 10 months since my seizure and all looks good. He is pretty sure that I will have no problems and will be able to go on with my life and I will just have to take two pill at bed time for the next four years. Wait... Four more years..
I was hoping to maybe get off these things sooner than that. But he says four years at the soonest if I even get off of then. I am and was a little sad by that but he did say I am lucky that I don't have epilepsy and I get to live my life and drive and go on vacations and have babies. So in that way yes.
Speaking of babies I thought the reason I had these seizures was because of pregnancy but NO IT IS NOT! In fact we have no idea why I had the seizures (two of them) but He does know they are not due to being pregnant. So where does that leave me? Do I just stay unanswered. Do I even what to know or can I even know why.
I am totally bummed and upset by all this. I hate being on pills (the good thing is they are a weight loss pill unlike the others that made me gain). I just don't feel "normal" or like me on them but I guess this is the new me and I need to get use to it.
I will go see my Dr in another 9 months to a year and we will go from there and see if we need to do any test or change anything.
I guess Heavenly Father has a plan for me.. I mean I KNOW he has a plan and I just need to trust that this is part of the plan. I need to pray for help to get over my being upset and just learn to deal with it. I think it is okay to be upset for a little bit right?
Anyways that is my seizure update......
