Well, if you haven't already heard, last night was a very exciting night for us Okies. We had over 28 tornadoes that tore thru Oklahoma and the Kansas area. Oklahoma City was hit hard. Here in Sapulpa we just got rain and lots of wind. Thank goodness! I become really anxious when they start talking tornadoes coming this way. From what I read, there were 5 deaths. I pray of these families and that they will find comfort in this time of loss.
Update on dad:
On April 27th, dad had his heart surgery to fix the hole in his heart. He did amazingly well. The hole was bigger than they had expected, but they got it fixed. Praise God! I just love that man!!
Me:
For a while now, I have been struggling with being over weight. I have finally had enough of it and decided I need to take better care of myself. I don't want to die young b/c I didn't take care of ME!! So, *drum roll please* I have lost 16 pounds so far and I have about 15 more to go, then and only then I will be back to the weight I need to be. Pray that I have the strength to do this to make myself healthier for my family as well.
Riley: School is about over. My very handsome little man will be in the 1st grade next year. I can't believe that it is going so fast. He is still playing T-ball and they have won 4 of the 7 games they have played. He is awesome! He has lost 2 teeth and now thinks he needs an I-phone. Yeah, right little man. Like that is going to happen. I still love you though.
Peyton: Oh, Peyton!! This little kid gives me the run for my money. He is always into everything and his new phrase is " you mean". What he doesn't know, is that I will be the mean mom until he grows up and realizes that mom really loves me and she was not mean at all. LOL
He is now potty trained. Thank goodness. We still use the pull ups at night, but that is it. And his smile is just so bright.
I will post new pictures of the boys when I get them downloaded.

Not Me Monday!!
I got this title from a blog that I keep up with daily!! You are supposed to tell all on Not Me Mondays...
For instance, I certainly did NOT eat all the Oreos that were supposed to be for my children. I would never do that, I am on a diet. I did NOT fart so bad when we were all in the car, that Ryan had to roll down the windows and stick his head out. I would Never do that, I am a lady! I would Never and I mean never bribe my kids to eat their veggies. That would not be good! They always eat them with out a fight.
So, if you all have some things to confess, just put them in your NOT me Monday blog. Lets get this started. I think it will be a blast.
Ryan has given the boys a bath and I am sitting here updating you all on what is going on lately. It is almost Thanksgiving, and boy, do I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my loving husband and my georgous cheerful kids. I am thankful for having a job. Now days jobs are hard to come by and I am so very thankful that I can get up every day and go to work. Mostly, I am thankful that God sent his son to die for our sins. And that he loves us with all his being. He is always there for me, especially when I think that he has abandoned me, he is still there.
I am going to end for now, Peyton is screaming he wants a "BUN" (honey bun)
Have a wonderful night and God Bless,
Jen

If your happy and you know it.......
Say Amen!! I am so happy that my sickness is finally going away. I have been sick for a week and a half with bronchitis. That is so miserable. Coughing all time time makes me think that my head will explode at any minute. Ode to the Z-Pak!!
Today at Rileys school, they did a Veteran's Day program. It was so stinking cute. He did sign language to the Pledge of Allegence and sang two songs. He looked so big up there. And yes, for those that are secretely asking... I DID CRY!! I can't help it. Every time I see my children hit a new stage in their life, it just makes me sad and happy at the same time. Happy to see them grow into young beautiful boys and sad b/c they are not babies anymore. I miss my snuggie time laying on the couch. Now, I am second best to the infamous, DADDY!!!!
I truely enjoyed having today off. I have gotten so much done with the house, but there is ALWAYS so much to do. And especially since I have been sick, not much has been done.
Oh, and the new NEWS on the home front is..... I have a new car. Well, new to me anyway. We bought a 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan Anniversary edition. I love that van. So comfy. And finally rid of the fall apart mobile. :)
Well, that is about it for now. My family is playing a board game, so I must join in and lose.
God Bless,
Jennifer

Cats and babies
What do you get when you have a baby that loves cats and tries to give them hugs? Well, let me answer you, a baby that has a huge bite on his head. Bandits teeth went deep into Peytons head. I am livid. I was on my way to beat the crap out of the cat and Ryan stopped me telling me that it was not Bandits fault. Uh HELLO, he bit Pey. The cat MUST die. Well, maybe not literally, but I am so mad. Hopefully it heals okay and he doesn't get an infection from it.
Riley is now spelling red, black, blue, yellow, green and purple. He recognizes them as well. I can't believe how fast he is learning. He absolutely loves his teacher Mrs. Ashby.
The boys have now had their bath and are in bed. I am going to enjoy some down time and relax a while.
Have a wonderful evening.

Absent but I have returned
Oh my goodness!! I have been away for a while, and it feels soooo good to be back. Lots of things have went on , but I didn't right them all down so I can't quite tell you everything.
Rileys t-ball was so much fun. I absolutely loved seeing my big boy out there trying his hardest at the game. Unfortunately, they did not win a game, but they had so much fun playing. He met so many new little friends. One of them is in his Kindergarten class this year. They are best buds.
Riley is now in Kindergarten and is learning all kinds of things. He is learning to spell and to recogize words. Won't be long now and he will be reading. The attitude is a totally different story. It is making me crazy. And not that Riley is bad enough, Peyton is learning his attitude from Riley. Oh twice the trouble.
Riley is going to the Firestation tomorrow at school. That will be so much fun for him.
We have been working with Peyton on using the potty. It was going pretty good there for a while, but then on Saturday I decided to let him wear undies and he went thru 5 pairs. That was enough for me. The diaper went back on. LOL
My dad is doing really well. He is up walking and driving, but I think the state is trying to take his license away. He has to retake different kinds of test. I sure hope he passes them. Driving gives him freedom and taking that away is definately not good. I am praying that God helps guide him thru this road block and that he passes all the tests he needs too.
Well, little ones are in bed. I am going off to enjoy an evening with my wonderful hubby.
God Bless,

Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my...
We will be going to the zoo this Monday. Ryan and I took off work to join Riley and his class at the zoo. Riley will ride the school bus for the first time ever. Ryan and I will drive our car and just meet the bus there. I think Riley will absolutely love it. We are leaving Pay at Debbies, this is just a day for Riley. Soon, we will take Peyton.
Anyone think that SpongeBob is just too much. WE have been watching it since Riley was a baby and just tonight Ryan came home with Sponge Bob Halloween from Block Buster. How could he do this me. Oh the horror!!!
As I am typing this blog my littlest one has his arms out and turning himself in a circle with a really weird face. It is cracking me up. Some of the stuff these kids do is just too much. Like Sunday, we were on our way to church and Peyton and Riley was playing in the back seat. Thankfully they were really behaving and not fighting. Anyway, I hear Riley say something and I asked him what he said, his reply, "NOTHING!" I knew immediately what he said and finally I asked again and this time he says ASSHOLE. I about flipped. I asked him where he learned that word b/c Ryan and I do not talk like that, and he told me that he heard it from a kid at school. My mom has always told me that when they start school they will bring all kinds of stuff home with them. And now I totally believe it. I gave him the lecture of "this is not the way we talk and if you do it again I will wash your mouth out, speach" Hopefully it works.
I will take some cute new pictures of the boys and put them in my next blog. They are getting so big.
My dad is doing wonderful, I just came from mom and dads just visiting. He is getting up and walking alot. He has been going up and down the stairs. May 11th he starts his rehab at the VA, I think that he will either go 3 or 4 times a week. I really pray that they help him get his arm back. He is determined to play the guitar again, and I know that thru God it will happen. It might just take some time, but God is the one that makes miracles happen, and him alone!! We just need to have faith in the Lord, b/c thru him ALL things are possible.
One last thing, I would love for you to go over and visit the webite www.kayleighannfreeman.com this wonderful, beautiful and strong little girl needs lots of prayers. She was born very prematurely and only weighed 1lb 1oz. She was doing amazingly well and then had a surgery, one of many, and every since then they have determined that she is brain dead. Please God, wrap your arms around this family and show them the comfort and love that you have. I know that they will be so hurt and devastated when Kayleigh goes to be with you , but I know their faith in you. Please Lord, just give them peace. Amen.
God Bless,
Jen

working on the railroad, all the live long day....
I am so tired of doing laundry, dishes and everything else that comes my way. My back hurts, I need a bath and I am so tired.
We have played outside most of the weekend. We planted 4 tomato plants and went to church today. I have been doing housework since we got home today, so if you come into my house watch out for the piles of clothes everywhere. LOL I need a cleaning lady. Although, she probably would take off running when she walked in, but if I can bar the door closed I am sure we could get alot done. :)
We have a game tomorrow night.I wonder how we will do. I am sure that we will not win, b/c we are just not that good yet. Come on, this is just our first year of playing.
I am getting off here now to get my bath and head to bed.
