Scary Night

Like I said, "I hate sharing"....but I am so glad the girls were not home last night. We had a really scary night!

When Jer got home from work, Addison and I met him at the truck to grab dinner and run a few errands. Our electric bill has been insane, so I walked around the house making sure everything was turned off...tvs...dvd players...lights....etc. I had worked from the house all afternoon, so I looked awful. While Addi was screaming, I found my green earring by my sink and threw on a matching green tee......no makeup and hair in a bun. It was such a nice evening....Miss A was excellent....even at Home Depot!

When we got home, I grabbed the drinks and diaper bag while Jer grabbed Addi. As I got closer to the door, I heard our alarm going off. Jer gave me Addison and went inside to check the house. He came out saying a tv upstairs and one downstairs was on. I ran next door to see if the electricity had gone off. Well, the electricity had not gone off. When I walked back into the house, Jer was about to check the office.....right before he opened the door, our closet door slammed! I ran across to the neighbors again to call 911. Miss A was screaming....probably because I was terrified!

The police came and checked the entire house....under beds, in closets, in our pantry and any hiding place they could think of. The two tvs were on, our computer monitor was on and my jewelry box was open (big standing one). The back door was unlocked, which is easy to do because we have a dog door.

Needless to say, we are ok and we haven't noticed anything missing......we were just rattled! I was jumpy all night....and Addison was really fussy. Even when she was sleeping (in our room of course), she was making all kinds of crying noises.

I don't even know how to describe how it feels to be invaded like that.

I thank God nothing happened to Jer while he was checking the house......and I am so glad we were not home. Maybe we had a weird surge that turned on the electronics and our alarm malfunctioned and Bear managed to open my jewelry box and a funny draft slammed the door (which is normally closed because our closet is attached to our office) and I left the back door open (which I know I locked)......maybe just maybe...

Anyways, long story short......last night our privacy wasn't private.

Update***** This morning we are finishing up the chores we wanted to get done before we went to the lake. Jer ran to Lowe's and I started mowing the yard....which I really enjoy. Anyways, I found the side gate unlocked and the latch open, but shut. When you close the gate you have to physically push the latch down.....it doesn't work like it is suppose to. Getting to the point.....it looks like someone came through the side gate and through the back door, unlocking it by sticking their hand through the dog door......(I did it this morning to see how easy it was....took me about 2 seconds)

Summer Fun

We have been having a wonderful summer. Miss A loves her sisters! She watches everything they do. If they are not in the room....she screams!!!!! They come running and she is fine again :) The girls are in San Antonio right now. I know they are only gone for a week, but I will be a brat and say "I HATE SHARING". OK, now that is out in the open! (like you guys don't know how I feel about certain things)

Addison is really improving on her hand/eye coordination. I tried her blocks a couple of days ago....she loved them. She is sitting up more now....in fact, last night at dinner with Gee and Grumpy, she sat in a high chair!! Don't worry, she is still chunky as ever!!!



Jer, Uncle Ryan and I took the girls to the Grapevine pool. It is about a block from our house....we have a great time when we go.
Uncle Ryan and the girls


The little monkeys even jumped off the diving board!!!!






After swimming, we went to MeMe's house for a little family time. Jenifer and Emory are in town for the Miss Texas Pageant and Matt and Stormy are in town because their baby boy, Pecos, is at Harris Methodist. He is now 2lbs, 7 ounces!!!
All the kiddos (Ryan and Jer included) had the best time....


DeeDee played with Addi....(see her new hair bow....Jen made all the girls one...they have a rhinestone initial on them)







See....everyone coloring....I think Ryan colored batman and Jer santa clause :)



The boys were the last ones standing :)

Good Morning!!


After complaining yesterday about being sooo tired and not wanting to hear Mommy one more time.......God said, "Are you sure?"
I was getting Grace's cereal ready and she tiredly said, "Mommy, I love you lots and lots of times every day!"
Today I am spending all day with the girls.....all three of them :)

Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

If I hear Mommy one more time.......
Have you ever had one of those days? Ya know, when you wish you could stay in bed all day :)
We had dance this morning.....I had a luncheon with several clients.....I finished hours of claims and paperwork.....we had arts and crafts time......a tea party.....2 baths for everyone.....we ate and watched cartoons somewhere in between. I am sooooo fortunate that I work the hours of a part time person during the day. I get to spend time with the girls and I am so thankful that I am here for the tea parties. Today I am just tired :) One of my clients was diagnosed with cancer.....I am so thankful I can help them financially. Please pray for him, his wife and his doctors! They are such a sweet family!
Today Jeremy screamed for me to come upstairs!!!! Addison was crawling!!! Of course, when I got there with the camera in hand.....she was just way too tired to show mommy:)










Me and Chunky Monkey

Watch What You Say!


As I was sewing today, I overheard this conversation......


Faith was eating her really huge lollipop......


Jeremy, "Faith...I want a lick."


pause


Jeremy, "Oh m....What tha.....why did you lick me?"


Faith, "You asked me to Daddy!"


I just laughed....not out loud of course.
Later Jer told me that she just walked right up and gave him a nice and sticky lick on the cheek ;)

Rub A Dub Dub

Have we already outgrown the sink?
