Blessed by our blessed Blessings!

I love my cute family. We had fun Easter Egg hunting and the kids both held their own with no help from mom and dad.

Bailee Made Egg carton Flowers for her teachers and friends... she is quite crafty!

Just loving our sweet family!

On another note... found out Jack can't hear well... Said he hears like and old man underwater... Will get tubes and his adnoids scaped on April 9th... Little scared for my baby to go under the knife.... hope it helps!!!

Daughter of Decorating

IT is St. Patricks Day- Happy Green To everyone!- and I was dressing up my kids and I in our green attire. I asked Bailee what green she wanted to wearin her hair. She said her green flower clip and RAN to her bathroom to get it. After a few minuites I was wondering where she was and found her green flower clip on the sink (it had been hung up on her hair clip ribbon). I asked her if she needed help getting it in her hair. She Abruptly said NO! I am decorating my bathroom with that and choose another clip for her hair... At least our bathroom won't get pinched today!

Have a great day!

I also love that my sweet babies always pick the flowers outside and bring me one every time they play outside. I have a sweet family!

Recent events in a nutshell...

Trip to Canada- First time out of the us... only out of the US for a total of like 72 hours, but hey... it is something....

Flew from Canada trip to Utah to Help Mother-in-Law with a treatment series she had to undergo... There for 3 weeks... she doesn't even remember us being there... that's the breaks, but got to see a few of my favorite people while I was there... reminded me I do have friends...

Back to Texas to crash into a pile of work and responsibilites... moving and groving on those...

Ben returned to work today after being on disability for 5 weeks.... I hope he can do it.... Praying for his quick healing

Trying to get a grip on food intake and only eating healthy foods... too much stress eating lately and need to reign it in!

Loves to all of you! Bless You!

HORRAY FOR WARMER WINDY WEATHER! Kites in the park...

We had 3 different Kites going today in the park... it was a miracle we never got tangled! Fopher, Jacob, Bailee and Jack had so much fun running around the grassy areas and playing in the park... nothing like being inside for winter to get you excited about the park... We stayed till it was dark... It was Ben's last free day before the semester... Good bye ben... We'll See you in May! WE LOVE YOU!

PS incase you are wondering.... yes those are jeans under Bailee's pants... she had to wear her dress... Too cold for just a dress... I had jeans... therefore,,, TADA!... She is still pretty cute though!

My Pretty Princess is 4

Okay... So she turned 4 almost 3 weeks ago, but we rarely get to celebrate with friends since we travel for the holidays... so Bailee had a party... Turned out fun she really enjoyed it... which is what I do it for... I was hoping to have it outside, but the cold weather (cold for Houston Standards) prevented that... so no kite races... barbie Vs. Buzz Lightyear... would have been fun... I think Ben and I are going to do that tomorrow with the kids...

Anyways back to Birthday Party... We had a princess party and here are the cliff's notes with pictures....

The girls all made crowns with their names on them and put glitter and things on them to their liking. Then had mini makeovers with lip gloss, blush and any dress they wanted to wear... We were invited to the Ball but they had to clean like Cinderella first...

Then we played "Don't touch the spinning wheel" it is like musical chairs but you pass a spinning wheel around and what ever princess ends up with the spinning wheel falls fast asleep. The last princess wakes everyone up with a hershey kiss. They played this game over and over... LOVED IT... We also played charades with the Snow White Characters... but the Sleeping Beauty game was the favorite! Great Party... Great Fun... Thanks to all who came!!!

Lastly... This was this morning as I was getting flustered before church looking for Jack's socks.... Bailee was at my feet everywhere I went I finally said... BAILEE I NEED SOME SPACE... she went and sat in the corner... GUILT... and Jack went over to be with her and they were having the best time... Just the 2 of them in the corner for no reason... I love my sweet family...

No Way.... WE LANDED ON THE MOON!

Yes... A Dumb and dummer quote.... it is kinda the way i've been feeling lately... like all my brain cells live in Mom and and there is nothing left for Melanie... I think alot of people feel that way though, but we all just smile and "Keep Moving Forward" as "Lewis" would say(Meet the Robinsons for those not in Mom brain land)

I had a good time last night I blasted my stereo to the oldies station... and felt more like myself than I have in a long time... I love the zone that only a good oldies song can provide... and then just had a chill night with friends helping register for a Baby- No not mine factory closed-at least for now maybe for good... yet to be determined....

I guess I am realizing I need WAY more me time, but that will soon not really be an option with Ben's school starting back in less than a week... but I need to find more me time at home... any suggestions?!?!

I really do love you all! Thank you for listening... or not but if you are not you are not reading this... and so... Thanks!
