my life as normal

I found my salt and pepper shaker in the bathroom, my phone in the toy box (again), a monster truck in the fridge, cars in the veggie drawer, an entire roll of toilet paper unrolled and half in the toilet, and a ball of string that had been unwound thru every room in the house. (except the bathroom that I was in, doing my hair).......Just another day in my life.

Concussion?!

Well, it was a long and interesting night last night. I had just sent the kids to bed, and started cleaning up my house when I heard a very loud crash in the bedroom. I didn't hear screaming, but went in to check on the kids. As soon as I saw Breven, he started screaming bloody murder. He was under the dresser with his foot inside on of the drawers and our very large and heavy T.V. still laying partially on his head

My heart totally stopped just then. He started going crazy, screaming, kicking and refusing to hold still. I got him out from under the stuff and checked him over. Some part of the T.V. had skinned the side of his face a bit, but other than that he seamed o.k.

He was very angry with me for some reason, and kept getting irritated with me. Well I kept him up for a bit, to see if anything else was wrong, besides a very bad head ache. He seamed fine so after about an hour I put him back to bed. Then he started throwing up. Thank goodness Andrew decided to come home just then. He helped clean up and looked Brev over too.

He thinks it was a concussion, having seen plenty the gym, So he sat up with Brev for a bit until he stopped throwing up. He only threw up a few times, but it sure scared me. I was ready to take him into the hospital, and would have if he threw up any more. But he calmed down, a bit of color came back into his face, he stopped crying every time he turned his head, and he just wanted to go to bed.

Crazy kid, bet he won't climb on any dressers for a long time.

We have been pretty lucky. We have never made any hospital trips for the kids, but this one very came close in my opinion.

CUTE

Becky and I were picking out her clothes to wear for the day. And I had to take a video.

Texas snow day!!

Can you believe we got snow!!! I know right it snowed here in TEXAS. So of corse the WHOLE town shut down. Schools closed, the freeways closed, lots of people didn't go to work.....and etc. It was actually hilarious! Check out our snow day pics.

Just look at all that snow!!!!

Becky actually escaped outside in her bare feet when Kyla opened the door to go out.

Sadly, we didn't get a picture of Brev in the snow, he wouldn't put his clothes on and ended up staying inside to do this instead....

Kyla gets earrings!

So we have been literally trying for YEARS to get Kyla to stop sucking her thumb! We tried many different ways, trying not to push to hard and make it worse. You would think she would just stop after getting punched in the face on the bus because she was sucking her thumb. Finally, I made a thumb glove for her (she can take it off by herself so it's her choice) and promisied her earrings.

Well she is doing really well!!!!!! FINALLY!!!

After a little while, she got her ears pierced.

She still would LOVE to suck her thumb, but now she has earrings, and can only KEEP them if she doesn't suck her thumb.

Here the kids are just being goofy!
