Daddy Daughter

Last night our ward had the annual Daddy Daughter Date. Rob took Kyra and Shayla (the other two aren't old enough to go yet). They had a blast dinner dancing and games. Every one enjoyed themselves. Rob was voted but the young girls the funniest dancer lol he even got a paper to bring home for it. They can't wait for next year to come to do it all again. Kyra is so excited that she will get to go to girls camp this year and most likely twice. Her moms ward and ours!!! Hard to believe how fast they grow up.

Busy Day

Well today has been extremely busy. I had my state skills test today. I PASSED YEA!! Ariana was home sick (I think she was faking). We took Katie back to the eye doctor today... After three surgeries she is done for a while its holding and the position of the eye looks great! That's the good news The bad news is she is still losing vision. He says that if we continue to patch all the time and do the drops daily there is still a chance that she will have some return. So back to torturing her she hates having to wear a patch and is sick of the drops. We go back to the doctor end of April.

In an effort to save money

I have found a LOT of homemade cleaners I've tried most of them and find them to work. They save a lot of money and you'll find a lot of the ingredients around your house. If your interested let me know and I'll email you the file I made of them its about 16 pages worth of stuff from making about any type of cleaner you want examples: laundry soap, dishsoap, bathroom and kitchen cleaners car windshield cleaner (we have tried this one also) tons of things!!!!!!!!

Done!!


Well we still have some touch up to do but the room is done mostly! Rob isn't sure of it yet but I like it. The true colors are kinda hard to see but they are called baked brick and barvarian oak.

YEA YEA YEA!!!!!

I'm so excited I passed my test for my CNA class. I'm not planning on practicing in this field for long as it is and has always been a stepping stone in my nursing field..................To make things even better I came home from school to find a letter from Washington D.C. I was thinking what the heck whats wrong. I got my scholarship for the nursing program. It will only cover part of next year but every cent helps!!

New Addition



Well this little kitten was found in a garage half dead. I decided to take her so eventually the plan is to have a mouser. So far she has been a good cat and the kids love her. Her name is Cuddles. Dylan and Katie seem to think she is theirs and not the families but its the older kids who have to clean up after her and feed her.

Colors have been chosen


So my goal is...... to change all the rooms in our house. Robs not going to be thrilled with this idea but will like it when its finally done. So he has said.... Our first wall is done in our back living room others to follow when we get to them. I was so thrilled to come home to find rob had started this after being very persistant that he will not help me (he didn't want anything changed) he has however told me he really does like the color.

Katie new hair


Katie has a new hair cut its really short but I know its only hair and will grow out. She needed a new cut it was so dead. Its growing on us. She didn't want it cut and I left the room while she was having it done and she looked at the hair dresser and said "Don't listen to my mom I don't want it short". Of course mom won that battle. She is beautiful either way.
