The Movies

Today the kids and I met up with our homeschool group at Movies 8 in Greenwood to watch Hotel for Dogs. It was such a cute movie, and the kids had so much fun. We went at 1 so it was nice that the cost was .50 cents per person, however the concession prices are outrageous. Oh well, we had fun and it was nice to spend time with the kids. Hailee had a melt down before we left cause she didn't want to go without daddy. He called and talked to her and told her to go so she was okay after that. Then during the movie Austin whispers mom, I wish Jesse was here. So he was missed, which made him feel good.
After the movie, I wanted to run into Babies R Us!! Austin couldn't believe I was making him go there. He is such a boy. I picked up some maternity jeans, and looked at all the cute baby outfits.
Well I have been gone all day so now I need to get cleaning. We leave for vacation in 11 days and I have so much to do!! Til next time..

Easter Weekend

This year we enjoyed Easter at home. We did our Easter with everyone the weekend before which was nice. Austin was up at 4 am on Easter Sunday, and was in my room telling me he had a basket. I told him to go back to bed... He did go back to bed but yelled every hour , "Are you guys up yet?" Finally at 7:30 we all got up. Hailee and Austin enjoyed their baskets filled with candy and a new video game. Austin got a new game for his PSP and Hailee a new game for her DS. The Easter Bunny must of knew that we were leaving and going on vacation and wanted them to have a game for the LONG ride. Good Work!!

The Easter Bunny got a little crazy and left eggs all over the house. The kids were geared up for the Egg Hunt.

After lunch, the kids and I baked some cookies and made deviled eggs. I also layed out some Steak to marinate for supper. Austin loves steak! Jesse worked on cutting the tree down that was in our back yard. We are getting a pool this summer and the tree had to go. Hailee and I also enjoyed about a 2 hour nap, while Austin and the neighbor boys played.

Okay so here are a few pics that I snapped of Jesse cutting down the tree. He made me and the kids so nervous cause it was a huge tree and he climbed to the top of it. He had gear on for safety but still. Austin was like MOM tell him to come down, and I tried to explain to Austin~ Jesse does this everyday expect on a pole with electricity. Austin said okay I know that but I don't have to watch him do it everyday and he is making me nervous. So cute how he was worried about Jesse getting hurt.

Jesse in the tree!!

He was at the very top of it here. We were all a little scared cause the tree was shaky...

Climbing

And it is down... Jesse said No Worries... Yeah look at it toward our house. Glad it didn't land on our house.

Well that was about it. Today Jesse goes on call this week with work. It is such a rainy day so who knows he might be working over tonight. The kids and I are going to the movies at 1 today in Greenwood with our homeschool group. With it rainy, I feel like I could just sleep all day...

An update on the pregnancy. Things are going great. I have a doctor appt. on Friday so I will def. post more then. I have just started to feel movement. Once in awhile I think I can feel a small kick , it is so cute. The nausea is still here and the exhaustion. I am dealing with it though. :)

Games cancelled

Well our games today were cancelled due to all the rain we got yesterday... The kids were looking forward to playing so they were a little bummed out. Jesse took the kids outside for a little bit while I got a good start on cleaning up some, but then here comes Austin with the neighbor boy and they wanted to watch a movie. I said I didn't care then they asked if they could have a pop so I said one. What was next, oh they needed a snack to go along with it all. Boys are so funny! Hailee decided she was laying down and taking a nap (which was awesome), but then Jesse decided he should take one to... Oh well it is the weekend and we don't have many relaxing weekends.
Not a lot going on other than now Jesse is getting ready to cut this huge tree down that is in our back yard. I am a little nervous about it cause he is just going to climb it and do it. I know that he is use to climbing poles and stuff but still I am worried. I will definately be going out to supervise and make sure he is safe. I will take some pics and upload them later.

First Practice

Tonight we had our first soccer practice of the season. Yay! It turned out to be a pretty nice day outside so I was glad. Didn't want to have to freeze or stand in the rain. Anyways overall it went really good. Our first game is on Saturday and Austin and Hailee are pretty excited about it! I just hope the weather is good that day!!

LOST

I really have alot on my mind today and am lost in knowing what to do. My son Austin recently has told his father that he doesn't want him to be his dad. Austin is 9 years old and has been through alot in life. He has been let down so many times by his father. He hasn't seen his dad since December the last part. A few months have went by since Austin told his father this, with no word out of his father. Until today... I recieve a text saying, " Can I have Austin this weekend?" I simply replied Austin has soccer. Austin is so big into soccer, and his first game is Saturday. Then a text back saying, "What time?" I replied, " You need to call and talk to Austin about it." He replies, " K on my lunch." I told Austin what was going on and he starts crying. He is shaky, and says I told him I don't want him to be my dad. What am I to do? I am lost on the answer but I turn to God and just pray. Meanwhile Austin is crying so I simply tell him that he has to be the one to talk to his father and decide on what to do. I can't be that person, he has to be. After listening to my son cry and be in pain I text his father back and let him know, "You have Austin crying and upset, he says nothing has changed his mind about things he said." At that it has been left.
I just don't understand how one thinks that being a parent means you can pop in and out of ones life. Um NO.
I simply am asking for some prayers to guide me and Austin with the answers. I dislike that my son has to go through this and wish I could change things. He is a great young man, and deserves the best, not heartache and pain.

Weekend in Odon

This weekend just flew by... On Saturday we headed to Odon to celebrate our Easter with our parents. The kids got up super early and we were on the road by 8 am. Of course we had to stop and get some breakfast from McD's. The first stop was at my mom and dad's for the first 1/2 of the day. The kids loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa and enjoyed waking Clayton up. I think they woke Molli up to, but was nicer with her about it. Getting Clayton out of bed was a job, but they accomplished it with help from papaw. So the first pic I put, well I will probably get hurt from posting it but it was so funny. My dad had drove the golf cart to my grandma Hollis's house and well it didn't make it back. Good thing Clayton was around he gladly gave my dad a push. ha ha. Yeah and well I made sure I got a picture of it.

My brother~ Clayton!

All the kids excited to go hunt some Easter Eggs. All of them looking at me except Coltyn. Hailee, Austin, Jaxcen, Coltyn, Dakota, Trinidy, and Zaden!

My grandma Hollis came to mom's to visit and watch the kids run around finding eggs. Austin and Hailee are loving on Mamaw Hollis :)

Dakota and Hailee were playing dolls and the dolls were napping so they decided to crawl up in the recliner and cover up. They were pretending to nap also. So Cute!

Our next stop was at Jesse's parents. The kids love going to the Hillbilly's (Papaw Bill) house. We had an amazing lunch there with so much food. It was great. We also got the chance to visit with Papaw Eaton~ he came for a visit and to watch the kids hunt eggs there.
Here is some pics of the kids hunting eggs there.

Hailee wanted papaw to follow her around and hold her basket. She was to busy finding eggs to hold her own basket. :)

While there we also had cake and ice cream for Jesse's bday. Here the kids gathered around him to sing and help blow out all those candles. The room was smoky then.

We enjoyed our evening there visiting with everyone. The kids headed down to the pond with Papaw to do some fishing. They caught a few! The kids didn't want to leave at all. They had so much fun!!

On Sunday we all slept in. Then I got up and fixed everyone breakfast. We started out working outside until..... the rain started coming down. Boo:( Jesse was so mad cause there was so many things he wanted to do outside. Oh well. When he came in we all cuddled on the couch and watched the movie Marley & Me. I loved that movie, but cried like a baby. Didn't do to much other than that and pick up the house a little.

And now it is Monday.... another week! We start soccer this week and we are looking forward to it. I will let ya know how it goes.

Getting ready for the weekend..

We are getting ready for our trip to Odon in the morning to visit and celebrate with our families. I just got done making 7 little Easter bags for my nieces and nephews to enjoy! Austin and Hailee are super excited to be going to Grandma and Grandpas house to play. They love spending time there and playing with all thier cousins. I will be sure to take plenty of pics of our trip!
Jesse has been sick the last few days, and I don't think he is feeling much better. He sounds like he is coughing up a lung. I really hope that he gets better. He is on antibiotic, Claritin, and all that great stuff.
Tonight we ordered Chili's Carside to Go for supper. Austin loves thier Honey BBQ ribs so he chowed down and finished a full rack. Hailee suprised us tonight cause she has decided that she loves them to and also chowed down on them. Jesse also had the ribs, while I enjoyed the Chicken Crispers. YUM! Now that we have full bellies, we are going to relax and watch Friday Night Smackdown with Austin. Then off to bed for an early day tomorrow. Have a great weekend!!
