KAITE AND JEREMY BEST OF FRIENDS!!

awwww they grow so fast ill update more later yeaaaaa cant wait till tuesday its MY friday

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Help me out with a question or its kinda a dilemma I have......
as a kid growing up every holiday we would visit family members and go to their house for a dinner and gathering usually lasting all day and I would visit with all my cousins and play and have fun and this would be the best thing EVER in my mind as a kid and i still loo back on those memories.
Well now that I have mine and they are older we never went to family members on Thanksgiving because the boys were to small and it was a hassle and we would have to go to both sides of the family..... so my question is.....SHOULD WE GO TO MY AUNTS HOUSE AND THAN TO HIS FAMILYS HOUSE AND THAN I HAVE TO GET UP AT 345 FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY OR WOULD IT BE BETTER TO JUST STAY AT HOME AND KEEP THAT HOLIDAY A STRESS FREE ONE??
Just wondering what others think if u can give me feedback I would appreciate it soooooo much of course u can keep it anonymous

Just thought Id throw a pic of Emily and I in shes such a dork but shes my sis gotta love her!!!!!

Just thougt id start this update with a bit of humor im so tired but im gonna try to stay up tonight and get some things done....

Im so sad i took all my uniforms out and have them ready to take back to work tomorrow when im done... ill be wearing regular clothing for the new department but im ready anyways about that....





found some pics from my old blog of Cole skating its so funny he is such a skater boy!


This is such a beautiful pic of MY grandma(Busia) at her last birthday with Ashley and Katie ......I love her so much and miss her.....the reason i put the pic in the blog is cause my aunt invited us to Thanksgiving and I dont wanna go cause all the Thanksgivings had her there and to many memories damn this sucks so much i miss her so much ok enuf of that....

I got the job!!
Now I start to worry, oh well Ill get thru it.....anyways so I figured since Im not going to have alot of time my hours are going to be graveyard shift I would take the kids to a Railcats baseball game. Dont ever take four kids under the age of seven to a baseball game and expect to have fun ok well I did.Anyways the game was ok considering we got there at 6 game started at 7 and it started to rain at about 9;45 i think than rain stopped game started again at 10;15 and than the Railcats won the game and than there was fireworks. We did not get home till almost midnight...ugh. so its another jam packed day of baseball with Kate having a game first and than Ashley well Im off to go make breakfast!!

THIS IS COLES GIRLFRIEND, MARIELLA!!!!(SHE IS ADORABLE!!)

I have all the pics from the party I haven't taken many I have been way to busy to update and that's OK I am used to keeping busy!! Ashley has a baseball game tomorrow and Katie has one on Saturday so I think just having those scheduled is enough but of course not I have so much more to do. We really need to make it out to the zoo this year and quick cause I really wanted to get the membership at Brookfield(Zack love the dolphins) well Ill try next weekend and I really gotta get over to my cousin Keith's house and see it once and for all!!
Today was a hard day and yet a very uplifting day....it all started when I got this (please would someone smack the sense into me idea of getting a job) well I applied for a job on Monday and of course Tuesday morning I was called and within an hour was asked to come for my first interview which I did so he tells me to come back this morning for my second interview which I did but I had to find a babysitter for the boys and take the girls off to school first which I did...Well my mom works nights so I had to wake her up take her the boys which she already had a headache from work and drop them off! Got to work and had my second interview and also my third cause they said they wanted to keep me so now I'm just waiting for training to start YEAH YEAH YEAH RIGHT? well all is said now I don't know how Ill do it but I gotta do this for my kids so that they can have a good life...hours suck pay good and well lets just say I'm gonna be one tired person!!!!! LOL! Oh and within a year I should advance pretty well so I'm happy!!
Well Ill post the pics and than go finish my laundry and eat my frozen dinner...Cause i can!!! oh and it sucks I swear they all eat better than I do...chicken and dumplings and I get frozen crap see what us moms sacrifice I want a nice big steak or lobster damn Ill even settle right now for a whopper!!!!

Ok well quick update going to go take girls to school and than come home and update more...Think i have a new job? and boys are officially done with school!! ok ill post more later

Ok so im gonna update but really havent wanted to muuch lately I guess its cause I have been so busy getting ready for the boys bday party outside and i said outside cause they are predicting RAIN!!!!! oh yeah so i will have to cancel if it does cause there is no way in hell that i will cram 40 adults and kids in a 2 car garage i think u would have to get me sooooo drunk first and that wouldnt even work for me anyway!! So we will see and if it doesnt rain than ill have tons and tons of pics to post but my damn computer is running so slow and i dont know what to do but to reboot it and i dont wanna lose everything so ill have to do some research UGH!!!! anyway i have alot of cleaning today and than a picnic in the park for my boys so ill also post some pics of that well Im off to go bust ass!!!

Good morning today is Friday YEAH!!!! Yesterday was crazy I felt like I was in a dream and couldnt escape ill update later I gotta get my room clean before trouble makers wake up! Oh and Venessa I got pics of Elmo! LOL!!

In response...

In a recent post by Swistle www.swistle.blogspot.com she asked about the topic of spacing children and about if anyone wanted more and the amount of children and so on.....


oh yes I have thought about it after my first and than my second and than I said Ill have one more and KABOOM guess what?
I had twins...I now have two girls and two twin boys and I still get the rudest comments if I go in a store people will say WOW you have a big family I dont know how u do it? or Did u want this many? or can u keep track of all of them or UGH!!! just stop asking questions regarding My kids how I parent and why I have four....I have four because I do and thats it.I have thought about having one more and it hurts to think about it because I would love to but I have to think about my children that are here now and how much attention I can give to them and how much time I can spend with them if I were to have another and I just cant do that to them.
Im just getting back on track and my kids are finally getting to that age where there are no more bottles or diapers and its getting easier.
I do wonder what another baby would do to my life and what he/she would look like(hair color,boy/girl, eyecolor and so on.
But for now in my life Im content with my decisions.

Good monday morning

I feel like Ive been running on a treadmill and im soaking wet,,,,,what the hell I need air conditioning yup its hot yeah!!!! Finaly had a nice warm day yesterdayand well I knocked out last night and woke up to find the house was 80 degrees inside thats noty good sleepin weather.

Banned from Walmart !

Dear Mrs. Brown,
Our store is considering banning your family from ever shopping with us again unless your husband stops his antics while you are shopping.

Below is a list of offenses over the past few months, all verified by our
surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.



3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the ladies' restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official tone, "Code 3 in housewares".....and
watched what happened.

5. August 4: Went to the service desk and asked to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.

6. September 14: Moved a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign
to a carpeted area.

7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in
if they'd bring pillows from the bedding department.

8. September 23: When our clerks ask whether they can help him, he begins to cry and asks, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"



9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera, used it as a mirror, and picked his nose.

10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, asked the clerk if he knew where the
antidepressants were.

11. December 3: Darted around
the store suspiciously, loudly humming the " Mission Impossible" theme.

12. December 6: In the auto department practiced his "Madonna look" using different sized funnels.

13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled, "PICK ME! PICK ME!"



14. December 21: When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, he assumes the fetal position and screams, "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"

And last but not least:
15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, and waited a while; then yelled very loudly,
"There is no toilet paper in here!"
