Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone stays safe today! Enjoy Family, Friends, Freedom and good Food!



The next photo had the lyrics to my favorite song to hear today....


Have a great day everyone!
I will be swimming with my kiddos and enjoying the sun before Fireworks time! 
It is the first time in 6 or so years that my oldest will be home for the 4th! Yay!

School 2012-13: How it has all come to an end!

The school year has come to an end!
Last day of the school year in Tomorrow! 6/11/13!
(Currently 6/10/13 11 PM)

My Smart Little Dudes are about to finish their last day of their first year of home school! They did AMAZING! I have never before been so proud of them!

These 2 little geniuses are finishing off the year with a ton of new information that I feel they would not of had if they had been left on their own in the traditional Brick and Mortar schooling program. 

My eldest is ending his school year in the middle of a 4th grade class! He had a lot more work to get done than his younger brother this year so I am proud that he got as far as he did. His year end testing compared to his beginning of the year testing had a great rise in numbers. Most kids only get an increase of 145 points in both Math and Reading, my guy improved by 245 points in Reading and 345 points in Math! He is so smart! He also did pretty great on his state testing, he passed them both!

My guy who started his year off in 1st grade courses is finishing the school year off at 15-20% completion in all 2nd grade courses! He has gotten so good at his work that when it came to his scores for his testing from the beginning to the end of the year he had massive improvements! The one that I am most impressed with was he word recognition. (I am sure this is because he knows what letters make each sound and he knows how to put them all together!) He went from below Kindergarten level in word recognition to a 12th grade word recognition this school year! I know his teacher said to take the score on that with a grain of salt but I think he is an awesome kid for getting that score! LOL His other scores were all in the 2nd to 4th grade range for all the other categories. Which is great since he is in all 2nd grade courses.

I look forward to continuing to work with my children over the Summer and into the next school year. They are also excited to be starting their Summer Camp Classes next week as well! Even my little 5 year old is going to be joining the Summer Camp fun this year and learning to use the online classroom tools that his brothers learned over the summer last year.

That is all for now. I hope to post lots of new photos and information soon! Take care!

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day from my family to yours!
I hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day!
There will be no big BBQ dinner here tonight, too much rain!
That is alright though, we will be remembering all our family who fought in wars of the past today by spending time with our family!

Review: Green Giant Veggie Snack Chips

As I have said before, I am a BzzAgent! This means I test products for different companies for little to no money. This review is on Green Giants Veggie Snack Chips!



These chips come in two different flavors that I was able to test.

The first was Multi grain Sweet Potato Chips with Sea Salt. To me, these chips tasted a bit like SUN Chips and that was a nice change. My boys were NOT fans of these chips! And these are the ones I got not only a full sized bag of but 4 "snack bags" of as well. The kiddos were not pleased to see the snack bags in our picnic basket a few days after they had the big bag. And I can not really blame them! These "chips" seem to have the same texture of a pressed and dehydrated mashed potatoes! No good! (Just being honest here!)

The second flavor was a HUGE hit in my house! Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips in Zesty Cheddar flavor! (Pictures in the above photo!) These tasted a lot like Doritos' Nacho Cheese Chips and the kids ate the entire bag real fast! They loved them and keep asking me for more! The price however is a bit out there! I wish they were not so expensive! (Nearing 4 and 5 dollars a bag and just like any other chip, mostly air!) If the Dollar Tree picks these chips up I think I will be more likely to purchase them. For now, they remain at the store and I continue to listen to my kids ask for them! 

Those are my thoughts on these chips! Enjoy!

Oh What A Night!

Tonight turned out to be all but relaxing! Ugh!

Took Wyatt(the baby) to the doc tonight... emergency trip... he was running from brother into the kitchen, butter knife in hand (this is the reason his brother was after him, he was trying to take it away) trying to take it to the sink when he slipped and fell. He hit his head on a step stool! And busted his eyebrow open. (This could have been way worse considering the knife and all!) My 7 year old picked him up and with his aversion to blood he just about threw his little brother across the room! And of course we both thought the worst HAD happened! Since the blood was pooling in his eye and he was "crying" blood tears! Not the case, he was injured but not worse case scenario or anything!! He lost a good bit of blood from his eyebrow! So much that not only his entire face but his clothes and my hand and arm and a small bit on my shirt was covered as well!

I took him in and it had stopped bleeding by the time we go to the doctor and once in the room they tell us it is a good thing because they can not do anything until it stops bleeding anyways. Then the nurse proceeds to "scrub" at it and makes it bleed again! (stupid woman! LOL) The doctor that is there walks in and Wyatt is instantly in tears! Either he REALLY does not like this man, or he remembers that it was the same guy that did his circumcision! Either way, not a happy baby! Doc said he had to do stitches because glue wouldn't stay! (Go figure! Both my November babies are the 2 to get stitches! 7 year old got stitches at about the same age after he played with an razor knife! He was also born in November!)

Because of his age he was strapped down to get his stitches in a kind of neat contraption! It was a board with material on it that looked like a vest at the top and then like a swaddle wrap at the bottom! I had to hold his arms down and a nurse held his head in place! He was very mad the entire time. He hates being held down for any reason! And like his brother, when they started the stitches, all he could do was say "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..." over and over again and again! All he wanted was for me to pick him up!

The Doc was originally only going to give him 4 stitches but he much have hit a vein because it started just gushing blood and he had to add a stitch to tie it off at the end and have pressure applied to the bleeding area at the same time by the doctor he was training!  All in all, they did great and little man gets to go back to see the doctor again on Tuesday, the same day I have a "life changing" "surgery" on! LOL His appointment will be at one time and and hour later I will have mine! And we will both have sore faces for that day! (Or night rather since they are afternoon appointments! If insurance has decided to cover my procedure!) 

**To clarify, I have a rather large mole on the end of my nose that has been there the majority of my life but has gotten larger and darker with each pregnancy and also it is sore to the touch, so it needs to go! And my new doctor (brother of my OBGYN) has decided we can try to get rid of it! Yippee!!!**


****WARNING!!!****

Below are some photos of Wyatt's cut before and after he saw the doctor. If you have a weak stomach, I bid you farewell... For those interested, feel free to scroll down!


More.....


Not yet....


Weak tummy, hit the large X in the upper right hand corner of the screen.....Ok, It really wasn't that "bad".... But I am very happy I took him in. At least now he wont have a giant scar there! LOL

Here are the photos.....

 Taken in the car on the way into town. I sat with him to hold the rag when it started bleeding again. Which it did a little bit of about half way into town! (We live about 30-45 minutes away from the doctor)
He did NOT mind the attention of Mommy in the car. Or me fussing over his cut! LOL He just sat mostly and played with toys and looked at books!


 There they are! The stitches! (And a little left over Iodine! LOL) Boy was he in a good mood after we left the doctor's office though! Look, he is even slightly smiling! Silly little ham!
 Slightly happy to be getting so much attention and to be out and about I think! Since we bought Daddy a car, we do not go much of anywhere! LOL But Summer is coming and that means fun outings with brothers in the warm Summer sun! Mommy already has several "planned"! Including one to the beach! I hope!
At home and enjoying some sausages for dinner! He also got to eat the one and only Greek Yogurt Apple Smoothie pouch I bought him at the store! LOL (It was on sale for $0.50 and then half off all sale items! This means.... IT ONLY COST A QUARTER! LOL) I also got enough pool filters to last ALL Summer (at $1.50 EACH! Yippee!)

Once we decided it was bed time, I put the Neosporin on the stitches as directed by the doctor and we sat down in our normal way to nurse! When he decided it was time to switch sides I found myself yelling for someone, anyone, to come help me. There was about a half cup of blood on his nursing pillow and it was still gushing out! Once we got the bleeding stopped again I was able to call the doctor's office again! They had of course closed so I was waiting for the on call doc to call me back! When she did she said to hold off on the Neosporin until tomorrow and to put gauze and a bandage over the area! This way it would hopefully apply pressure and keep it from bleeding! No pulled stitched or anything, just oozing blood.... Ugh! LOL As the title said... Oh What A Night! 

That is all for tonight... I need bed now!

Zzzzzzz......

In Recent News...

I know I have not been on here to post much lately and I apologize!

Pre-read warning..... CAUTION BREASTFEEDING PHOTO BELOW! (just for those who don't want to see breast)

This is a long one... Hope you have the time! LOTS of photos too though!

In recent days we have made a few LARGE changes our lives. And they are revolved around our most recent big purchase!

Here is that purchase.......





It is a 1999 Ford Taurus SE! And so far it has been a complete save! 

1. A huge save on gas! 

We were paying double the gas to drive into town (roughly a 45 minute drive one way) twice a day to get my husband to and from work and allow me to have the other car at home just in case something else happened at home. Now, only one trip for him to go to and from work. And then when I need to go into town for groceries or what have you. Also, it costs less to fill this little car up compared to our van.

2. We both get more sleep! 

We were both only getting around 3-5 hours a "night"(he sleeps during the day and works at night) and then leaving early to take him to work (he was getting there 2 hours or so early every day!) so that I could get back home at a decent time and get the kiddos fed and into bed! And then I could fall asleep once all the kids were asleep and be up around 4:30-5 o'clock in the morning to go pick him up and bring him home and then go about my day with the kids (often after a nap). 

So I have had a little more time to spend with the kiddos!


He decided that Grandma and Mommy's cucumber looked yummy!
He ended up eating most of what we had on our plates!


That is not a "yuck" face you see there!
That is his "oh look a camera is out" silly face! 


The above photo is of one of our new favorite meals before it was baked! Spinach Chicken loaf! and below is the baked product! It is oh so yummy! I have not been able to decide if I like it cold or hot better yet! However, On a zero carb flax bun cold with a little bit of mayonnaise on it, it is to die for! And super filling! 


Next.......


The flax bun I spoke of earlier! This was my lunch one day though. I had a bun with 2 fried eggs, a few cheese slices and some mayo and mustard! It curbed one of my cravings I have had for awhile to make and enjoy a fried egg sandwich! YUM!

Next is the forewarned Breast photo!




Nursing and Giggling! We stopped in a parking lot in town to have a good nursing when we bought the Taurus last week. After we bought the car we went to the insurance company followed by the DMV and then gas all for the Taurus. So little dude was ready to eat! And he could not stop laughing at Daddy! So I took that opportunity to snap a few photos! And this is one of the cutest with his big grin on his face!


That would be my oh so handsome Nephew Gabriel! Hard to believe it but, he turned 6 months old on Friday! Half a year old! (Picture was taken on Friday and posted by my sister and I stole it from here Facebook!) I know I haven't seen him much in his short 6 months as I should! This would partly be because they live 400+ miles away. But I love seeing the photos of him and hope that with time I will be able to visit him (and my Sister) more often. Specially with having two vehicles, travelling just got cheaper! We wouldn't have to get my hubby a hotel room in town so he could ride the bus or his bike to and from work (he has a car now!) And we wouldn't have to board the dog! Because my husband would be home with him! The only expenses would be the gas to get there and back and our hotel there! Sounds like we may need to work out how to get there some time this summer once school is out!

Speaking of school!

Both boys completed their Science class early and were able to advance in to the next grade level! Since they are Grades 1 & 3 the school put them into Grade 2 Science (as well as History and Art) together. We have already sent back the Science 2 supplies that they asked us to and received the Science 3 supplies! So we are set for the summer and next school year! (Yes, I am going to be "that mom" and make them continue some school work during the summer, not every day, but every week!)

My 1st Grader has also advanced to his 2nd grade courses in Language Arts! He advanced at 95% and has completed all of the "set" of classes! We are still waiting on his school supplies to arrive for that class and hopefully we can get started on those classes next week! Since now all he has left to work on is History and Art with his brother and Math by himself for this school year!

I am so proud of both of my school going guys right now! They have worked their booties off! Hopefully their little brother will work just as hard next year! He has been accepted and starts home school on September 4th, 2013!

He is so excited that he keeps asking when his school stuff will get here and when he can start school! I had to break it to him that it wouldn't be here until the end of Summer. I thought he was going to cry. Poor little guy. Wish I could sped up time for him sometimes! LOL


This is my oldest on his first ever day of school!
First day of Kindergarten!
He was so little! He was also scared!
But he did AMAZING!
My little genius!


This photo would be his 2 little brothers hanging out in the stroller while we waited for the bus to show up! They were little troopers and would sit there every morning and when we would get home they would eat breakfast and then play, play, play... It was a simple time! LOL

I wish I had more photos of my older kiddos to share. I need to connect my camera to my computer and get them off there. I have started taking more and more photos on my camera since the in Wal-mart PictureMe Portrait Studio closed down. I am going to have to either take photos on my own or pay a lot more to get them done. My other option is also to have my friend who lost her job when the portrait studio closed take the photos. I would love to give her the money rather than someone I don't know or to a big corporation. When I have to photos on my computer I will be able to post them! The studio closing also got me thinking about how I am going to do Christmas photos for family this year as well and I think I have come up with a pretty neat and fairly cheap idea! Another reason I have been taking photos like they are going out of style!

That is about all I have for now... Take care everyone!

Some Updates, education and lots of photos!

Recently my family has found out some new information that we must all work through. First off, back in February we found out the my 5 year old has a Lazy Eye. He has to wear an eye patch 1-2 times a day for 1-2 hours at a time on the other eye to help his lazy eye improve. He now has glasses as well that he must wear 24/7. He has been pretty good with them so far. The first few days were hard, but we do not have issues now! He still looks like the Jerry McGuire kid! LOL On Thursday (3/21/13) he had a doctors appointment to finish up his immunizations for school, we are waiting now to hear back from the school as to)if he is getting in or not. He had a bad reaction to the immunization the following day (1% of kiddos have this reaction) and now gets to soak in an oatmeal bath and then get his leg wrapped to prevent him from scratching it because he says it is itchy. (see photo below) While at the appointment Thursday I discussed with his doctor the fact that he spits (makes shooting sounds and saliva goes everywhere) all the time and has his hands in his face playing with just his hands or with toys. I discussed this with a different doctor when he was about 18-24 months old and they said that he was fine as long as I could get his attention and make him stop. Well, it has started to be that we can not get his attention and make him stop anymore. At the appointment she counted this as 2 tics (1 for spiting and 2 for the hands). Then as she was talking to him and asked him to do something for her he made a throat grunting sound, I am not sure how to describe it. And that made 3 tics. She asked me if he does a couple other things (I do not remember what now) and the answers to those were yes! Totaling at 5 tics!

The reaction to the shots! 5 cm long!
Here is where the Education part of this blog comes in. My 5 year old son has Tourette Syndrome or rather a form of. I feel so very bad for my small guy. This time last year we were learning how to use his medicines for his severe Asthma and now we will start neurological appointments and treatments. Things just do not seem to be getting any easier for him.

Tourette Syndrome (further referred to as TS) is:

Source: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Tourette Syndrome Fact Sheet

"Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The disorder is named for Dr. Georges Gilles de la Tourette, the pioneering French neurologist who in 1885 first described the condition in an 86-year-old French noblewoman.

The early symptoms of TS are typically noticed first in childhood, with the average onset between the ages of 3 and 9 years. TS occurs in people from all ethnic groups; males are affected about three to four times more often than females. It is estimated that 200,000 Americans have the most severe form of TS, and as many as one in 100 exhibit milder and less complex symptoms such as chronic motor or vocal tics. Although TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms lasting a lifetime, most people with the condition experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens, with improvement occurring in the late teens and continuing into adulthood."

You can use the link above to read more about TS on your time. This little guy has a tough road ahead of him. But at least we now know why he is the way he is. He does some of these things because he can not help it. He is often unaware he is doing them. And now to help his brothers understand him too will be easier. 

Now that this has all been lifted off my chest....

I took my oldest to get a hair cut last week before leaving to his Aunt and Uncles house with Grandma to help is Aunt out with some things that are going on with her. And to have a mini vacation with Grandma! While there, I decided I needed to come back with the baby and get his hair cut too! He had a pretty interesting mullet going on! Now he looks like a little boy again!








BEFORE










AFTER














Little dude here enjoys watching Baby Bach one of the Baby Einstein movies. He gets so distracted and will not pay attention to ANYONE!







Here he is enjoying a new movie I picked up for him yesterday on dad's lap!









Enjoying some Cheerios and Veggie puffs after nursing in the store parking lot yesterday!







He noticed the camera and this is his reaction! LOL







Well, That is all I have for now. I am sure that I will be back with loads more of information since now I am waiting for the nurse to call me back because the 5 year old's reaction to the shots just got worse and we found another spot on his leg! I may be going back to town tonight!

My Silly Guys!

I know I have not posted many things just about my kiddos lately, but here is something I hope brightens everyone's day as it does mine!

My boys are such little hams sometimes! Of course, part of this was due to my second son's teacher making their Monday Meetings more fun! Today was Mustache Monday! We were sent a template that had 3 Mustaches printed on it. Each child from her class was to choose their favorite, cut it out and then wear it to class! Well, I have 3 little boys that got to wear them! (Number 4 would have eaten it rather than wear it!) I figured they might pick the same one, so I printed out 3 pages of the same thing and........... They each picked a different one! LOL! Only my kids I tell you! In any case, they all looked extra adorable with their mustaches on! Here they are.....

My little 5 year old in the middle there cracks me up!
He looks like some gun-slinging cowboy from the old west!
Or a slightly "mad" scientist!

Aren't they just oh so cute?! LOL

And then of course my little Mini-Me has to go and steal the spotlight today too! As we were dropping Daddy off at work he was attempting to put on a pair of the glasses his older brothers got from their recent(ish) eye appointments. You know, the kind that roll into them selves.... To make this story short, Daddy helped him out by getting them on his face and then not letting him take them off until he could snap a quick photo with Mommy's phone! Ha ha... Here is that one as well!

"I look cool! Right?"

Love it!

And, believe it or not, that is NOT snow in the background.... It was the blinding sun! LOL Today was actually warm enough that I got our outdoor Christmas lights taken down! Go Me! 

And now that this day is done and I have, hopefully, brightened your day... I am off!

Review: Schick Hydro Silk Razor!

As I have previously stated, I am a BzzAgent. This means that I get offered opportunities to try out products for little to no cost. I test the product and give my feedback to BzzAgent and I also tell you here!

This time I got the chance to try out a new razor! I have not yet been able to get my legs nice and silky smooth since the birth of my youngest son. I am not sure if that has to do with my other medical issues that took place after my little guy was born or if my body just decided I no longer need to have smooth legs! I was so excited and had hopes of this razor being the end all for that issue I was having. Sadly, for me at least, it was not. I get to have soft silky smooth legs for roughly an hour after I shave and then they are back to icky and dry again! (Until I get to another product I am testing, that one has started to work on my legs! I will post about it another time though!)

On one hand, I enjoy this new razor for it's easy to grip handle, swivel head, multiple blades and the fact it takes up a little less space in the shower than my Schick Intuition does! (Yes, I am a Schick gal!)

The other hand though, I have to use shave cream with this new razor. This is something I have not had to use for YEARS! (I think I started using the Intuition when it first came out.) So, it ends up taking me just a tad bit longer to shave when using the Hydro razor instead. And often I do not have the time for that with being a Mother to four rowdy boys!

I may or may not continue to use the Schick Hydro Silk razor in the future. I also still have 3 coupons that I am willing to share. They are for $5.00 off and if you use them at Wal-mart it makes this awesome razor $0.97!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!! So, if you would like one of the coupons still available just comment below or if you followed this link from Facebook you can let me know there as well! (Blog Facebook)

All in all... I give this razor a 3.5 star rating. I do not hate it, but I will keep a tight grip on my Intuition if push comes to shove!

Photo Monday 11

Here we are Sunday night and I am a little ahead of the game... So! By just about 45 minutes early... Here is Photo Monday! LOL.....

I do believe I will try this out!
It has been getting warmer and the kiddos will enjoy this one....

My cousin had the great idea to use the ice cube tray that was designed to make the ice cubes that go in water bottles and I think that is brilliant! I may try both ways!



ENJOY!!

The Little Guy Got Photos Taken


More pictures to share...

My sweet little guy here turned 5 at the end of February!

So, I decided we needed some 5 year old pictures taken! 

And here they are!







With Easter around the corner I thought this picture was appropriate!






Of course, I had to jump in and take a photo with my little guy as well!

He picked the background and was hamming it up for the camera!






This is the photo I have chosen to be his "school" photo! He is so adorable here! One of my favorites!

Of course, his glasses were a challenge as he likes to put his head up to have his photos taken and this is one of the few with little to no glare!







This one I fell in love with too and even ordered a special picture made with this one that should be here in roughly 2 weeks!








He  saw the sunflower a few photo shoots ago and asked then if he could get a photo with it but that was in the fall and I didn't think it would have worked for then. So, being Spring time I let him this time!





And of course, our reason for the photos in the first place!

Sadly, the giant white 5 has gone missing from the portrait studio so we improvised!

I found a giant 5 online and printed it then cut it out on red poster board and then stenciled out his name and we made it work! I love this photo so much I have several copies of it coming as well!








That is all for this post! I am so proud of my handsome little guy and getting used to his glasses!

Here is the topper for today in news with this kiddo as well...

I got online this afternoon and started the enrollment process in the online home school his brothers go to! 

All that is left is to fax in the paperwork that is required and for him to be approved! 

Yippee!!!!!

~TTFN!!!


Recent foods! Yum!

I know I said I would post these awhile ago... So here they are!

These are some of our most recent and oh so yummy meals... I have more photos but have not gotten them on my computer just yet... Hope you enjoy and that it doesn't make anyone too hungry.....

Greek Meatballs

Chicken "Noodle" Soup with Rosemary Dinner Rolls

"Honey" Ham with Cabbage

My Mom's Breakfast "Hash" and Eggs

My Breakfast "Hash" and Eggs

Parmesan Crusted Pork with a small salad and Sweet Mustard Dressing

4 "sauces" I made the other day...
Ranch Dressing - 1g carb per 2Tbs
Russian Dressing - 0g carbs per 2Tbs (family favorite!)
Sweet Honey Mustard Dressing - 1g per 2Tbs
Dill Sauce - 1g carb per 2Tbs (used with fish!)

I saw the following on Facebook and figured I would try it out... It was not as easy as it looks! The dang noodles kept breaking on me! LOL... The 5 year old loved them though!

Just before they started to cook!

On their plates!
They each got 5 chunks of hot dog to start and the baby got a couple that were cut up for him!

A close up! Next time I will need to cook them longer!
The noodle inside the hot dog was still super crunchy!


That is all I have for now. My youngest has decided he does not need to sleep when others do...
