Life

We had family pictures made at the Museum of Appalachia (my favorite place!) and this was a wall hanging in their gift shop.

Addison's first solid!  Hard boiled egg yolk with salt!  Delish!

Our Grammy fish died and the kiddos and hubby had a service for her on Thursday night.  We had that fish for like 2 years or so.  Me and Sean and Ryan were all pretty upset.  And yes I did say a fish! 

It's not very often that this one will take a nap!

Wrapping up our January

Andrew and I had a great trip to Florida.  He did wonderful on the plane (unlike the car!!!) and it was so nice to see my family and some friends.  I enjoyed having some one on one time with the baby and he got spoiled!  I also enjoyed the time with my dad and introducing Andrew to family and friends.  It was nice to meet my friend's little one, too.  :)  I was not used to the heat there!  lol  I forgot my cell phone back in TN so I also had the chance to fast from technology for a long weekend......and I survived!  Oh it was fun to go back to our old church, too.  I missed my hubby and the other boys, though. 

Dad flew back with me and Andrew on Monday and has been here since.  He leaves tomorrow, Friday.  :'(  We have been enjoying our time with him and getting out to do some fun things.  The boys LOVE their Pappy and I fear it's gonna be a little rough for all of us when he leaves tomorrow. 

We have officially experienced a child with a tummy virus!  On our way home from the Museum of Science and Energy on Tuesday, Hunter started throwing up in the car......EVERYWHERE!!!!!  We still haven't successfully gotten the smell out of his car seat.  Considering putting it through the car wash!  lol  He then threw up again all in his crib in the middle of the night.  Now we still haven't successfully gotten the smell out of his sheets.  We are just praying that no one else gets it.  Hunter seems to be better now, thank God.   How do we get rid of the awful lingering smell?????

I have started taking the boys to the library for storytime on Mondays and Wednesdays and they have been loving it.  It's nice for us, gives us some time out.  :) 

School has been really busy this semester and keeps me busy during nap time and after the boys go down at night.  I graduate end of summer with my bachelor's in nursing and I am excited for that! 

We also have 7 new members to our family........We got some new fish today.....Ryan fish II, Hunter fish II, Andrew fish, Daddy fish, Pappy fish, Allie fish, and Mommy fish.  :) 

Lastly, I went by our townhome while I was home and everything looked good and we were paid for months February through August.  God is good!  A big relief! 

Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Ry's fish!

He did it!  He earned his fish!  Initially he had to go a month without a spanking, but things happened and there were more urgent matters to tend to.  Sooooo, we changed it to going a month of only pooing in the potty (and not in pants), a fish would be the reward.  He accomplished this goal Nov 7th.  Yesterday we finally got his fish that he picked out.....an orange fish to represent  TN (what Ry said).  We also got an algae eater to do some of the work of cleaning for us.  Ryan named them both.  Ryan and Hunter.  Ryan is orange.  Hunter is the black cleaner fish.  Me and Sean are attached to our new family members, too.
