Tyler 3.5 in Preschool/ Parker is 1!

Hey all so it has been a while since I sent out an update.. thought I would send one out today..

Tyler is now 3.5 years old.. has started preschool and loves it, he is doing great and having a great time, attached is a picture of him at home.. I asked what he was doing, he said, "I'm just chillin Momma." He is growing so fast and is a great big brother. He loves Hot Wheels, Cars, and Dinosaurs, and Comic stuff...He says the funniest things right now too..... The other day he was so proud he could pray all by himself, his reason was that he had teeth... (random I know but that is my Tyler random)... He is growing up so fast... He is about 41 inches tall...

Parker is now 1! He has been going to a new daycare we call is school, and is finally getting adjusted.. we are so blessed to have found the place the boys go for sure..

Yesterday was Parker's birthday and he had a blast... besides the doctor visit (side not don't schedule your kids for well visits on their bdays... oh well) At lunch he got to have another cupcake..We got to spend alot of family time together, and after Joshua got off work we drove to the mall and played on a playground for a good bit, then he got pick out a stuffed animal at the Disney store... he picked out Perry the Platypus (from Phenius and Ferb), he loves it. All is well with him.. he now weighs 24lbs think that is the 75th percentile, and is 32 3/4 inch long... which is technically off the charts.. they are saying 97th percentile. He is growing great and right no track.... does not really talk much... yells alot.. at stuff... and grunts alot... When he wants to he can say Bubba, Momma, and Dadda and Uhoh. He LOVES to eat really anything.. we have not found anything he really wont eat.

Both growing boys!

Joshua is doing well, working hard and enjoying the boys... and taking care of the family... love him so much and so proud of him! Love you Joshua!

I am doing well, much better at not drinking so much coke if any.. that is big thing for me.. I am getting back into the swing of working out again.. my knee is ready and I need to get back out there... now just if I could get more sleep.. Oh yeah The family birthday party for Parker went great thanks to all who came (More pics to come).. I finally got my picture wall done.. and love it.. now just to add more pictures!!!


Hope you are well!

Been a while... back on track.. this is the day!

Well it has been a while since I last posted… in the time that has passed. My kids are doing great.. Tyler is growing like a weed and loving to play and just use his imagination and boy does he have one… Parker is crawling all over the place and pulling himself up and just about to walk any day.. He just wants to be around Tyler as much as he can.. it is really cute.. Joshua is back from CA has been for a while.. and our marriage is SO much better PTL.. and I am so glad to be back where we use to be many many moons ago.
This is week two of me walking to work out… running is a while off.. but last week I walked once around the Town Lake Park and this week we are doing two times around.. I am sucking at my food though… I seem to forget that just because I work out I can’t eat whatever I want.. so today I have started to get back on track.. many motivators on this.. my dear friend Heather James, she has lost weight and looks great and that inspires me.. I also got on the scale and did some measurements.. and yeah so motivated the numbers are up… and they should be going down… but it is up to me to get on the band wagon and start being accountable for what I eat.. and for those of you that were keeping me accountable asking me how it was going.. please start that up again.. apparently I need this..
Well off to work some more.. work has really picked up.. YEAH!!!
Hope everyone is doing well..
Hugs to all!

My Hubby

My Hubby flew back in town yesterday; I could not wait to see him. And since He has been back our time together has been AMAZING. It is like we just got married and I thank God for putting my heart where it should be and not shutting Joshua out. This change has made our relationship 10 times better, not that it was bad to begin with but I know that this is a new beginning for us.. PTL
I love you Joshua Hansen so much! I missed you so much!

Noticed

So I am enjoying my Krizty time but noticing alot at the same time and that is a good thing…. I have noticed how distant I have actually been with the one person I should be the closest too... and that makes me sad to realize that but that will change ASAP and had already stepped towards changing this.... As I have had alot of time on my hands I have realized that my priorities have been messed up in the last few months. I don't want to waste my time on looking at other's status (not that I don't care), but I just feel that the amount of time I spend on FB could be used to better myself in reading something... just sayin.. so that is what I am going through... working through stuff.. amazing what you see when you have no choice, when you have so much you time.. you know?

Update… Ortho. Visit/PT/P Crawling

So I went to the orthopedic doctor on Monday and all is on track, he said there was a lot of cartilage damage, but he fixed most of it. He said that if I did not take care of knee that there would cartilage replacement in my future so totally taking that to heart. I am still going to Physical Therapy and they are adding something new each time…. Making for a rough time but working out the soreness in my knee so that is good.. I almost have FULL range for my knee, I can go one full circle around when riding the stationary bike. This is a huge thing… so that is good.
Yesterday July 13th Happy Birthday Granny for your 80th, Parker started to crawl, he is not moving much but I know in time he will be all over the place.. so will be baby proofing the house soon.. ;)
Tyler is doing well, he is excited to go see his Uncle Mo and Aunt Sheri. (sorry Sheri he doesn’t say She She anymore) He is excited to play with Dexter too!
I have a weekend of Krizty time and looking forward to it.. though I will miss my boys!

Testing from phone

PT and off Crutches

Well the second full visit of Physical Therapy and I am doing great they say.. I am off the crutches, unless I go shopping where there are alot of people. My walk is still funny, but I am working on getting my swagger back. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts again..everyone is doing great.. we are going to Party for my Granny tomorrow and Joshua's Parent renew their vows on Sunday... a full weekend of parties! YEAH!

Made it!!!

As most of you know I had surgery on my knee a week ago.. and here is what Joshua sent out, if you did not get it... see below.

Kristy is out of surgery, and I just had the consultation with her
doctor. He said all went well and she should feel much better. There
is a possibility of a reoccurrence of issues down the road due to the
amount of injury he found, and we can discuss treatments for that down
the road. I'm waiting for her to wake up and take her home. We will be
resting and icing today and start rehabilitating tomorrow. Thank you
for all of your prayers and thoughts.

Well it is a week later, and I am doing better. I was able to totally rest from Wednesday to Friday thanks to my inlaws for watching the kids so I could get some much needed rest. Friday I went to Physical Therapy and it was not as bad at I thought it would be, they were really nice and they gave me exsercises to do at home, (yes I am doing them, twice a day) That night the kids came home and the weekend we took it as easy at we could with a 3 year old and 9 month old. We went to church on Sunday, and I think that did me in, so Monday I was back resting and trying not to do too much. Yesterday afternoon about 3pm I got up from the couch and thought okay I can't take this I am going to do something so I started doing stuff like a mad woman.. (you know me.. have to go go go.. ) Well about 4pm, I got really dizzy and sick to my stomach so I took it easy the rest the night. Today I am in some pain, and not taking all my pain meds.. so I can function out of work. I have physical therapy today at noon and going to take the remainder of the day off to rest, then back at work for a full day on Friday... I am on one crutch and can already tell this surgery was the right call.

Joshua has been GREAT, taking care of the me, the boys and things around the house. We have been getting food from dear friends and it has been a HUGE blessing, THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.....

An update on the boys.. Tyler has been a great help... and so funny with the things he comes up with but he is growing so so fast... and just a joy and so caring and doing great with Parker and helping me out with things around the house, and making sure his little brother is okay., Parker is now 9 months old and is going to crawl anyday now, he gets around rolling and pushing himself and he is one determined and strong fella... we found him sitting up in his crib night before last so we dropped the crib down... they grow up so fast! In about a week they will both be going to stay with my Sister and Brother In Law for over a week, we will so miss them but I know they will have fun!

Surgery Date moved :(

Well they moved my surgery date two days so I am now having surgery on Wednesday (June 30th)... I am going to try to take it much more easy than I have been and for sure day of and day after surgery.. I "Plan" on going to Physical Therapy on Friday.
Please keep me and the doctors in your prayers and Joshua too...

Teething + congestion = Poor baby Parker

Just heard from Joshua, seems like just a teething thing with Parker with some congestion on top of it... so that's good nothing serious! :)

Update.. kind of freaking..

Man these last two weeks have been LONG. I don’t know if you know or not but I am suppose to have surgery on my knee on Monday and kind of freaking, but I “know” that God has me and the surgeon’s hand and He is going to guide my doctor to do what needs to be done. This is my first surgery that I actually have to go “under”. I have faith that all will go well and although it will be a while till I am back at the park running. I will get this issue fixed with this surgery and a month of physical therapy. I am still struggling with guilt and feeling all this is my fault. This could not have happened at a worse time.. well I guess it could be “worse” but this will set us back from our plans and that REALLY does frustrate me. I have got to stop listening to the lies of Satan saying that it is my fault and I get rid of this guilt.
Last week was rough and really busy, Joshua and I did not do WW (weight Watchers) last week and we could tell. Our bodies were getting use to the good for you food and not welcoming the fast food so we are back on WW starting yesterday. Good news on the WW front I have lost 12 lbs.. YEAH!!! So there is that. And we are back on track.
There seems to be blah over our house. With Joshua having to do EVERYTHING around the house and taking care of EVERYONE this is wearing on him and I hope he only has about a week more left of it. While my knee junk has been going on, our kids have gotten sick, causing Tyler to be up most the night Sunday night and Parker was up most of the night last night. (When the kids get up because of my bum knee Joshua gets up with them.) Not last night as much I got up a few times with Parker. This all started Sunday night. We think and pray that Tyler’s is just allergies and he is on meds for those but as for Parker we are not sure. Joshua is at the doctor with him now to see what is going on.

Update on the boys—Tyler is doing great… he is growing up so fast his first theaters experience will be tomorrow. We are going to take him to see Toy Story 3, I am not sure who is more excited Joshua and I or Tyler. Parker besides being sick is doing great.. He is rolling all over the place and grabs anything he can get his hands on… he is VERY curious. He looks like he will be crawling any day now and boy will that make for an interesting house hold.

Surgery it is then

Well after being off my knee for 3 days, and calling my couch my 2nd home, I went to the orthopic specialist today. After looking at the MRI he said the best option would be surgery. Seems that I have some banged up cartlage pretty bad, he is going to go in there and clean it up, if he sees anything torn on my knee while he is in there then he is going to fix that too. I am scheduled for surgery the June 28th and then I will have about four weeks of physical therapy to make sure my knee is healed. Until the surgery I am to take it easy and just chill. (that is really hard for me but I am trying) I am so so thankful for Joshua and how he is taking care of me and the kids without complaining... such a great hubby and father.
Everyone else is just fine... Tyler is at VBS, his first one and enjoying it, his last day is tomorrow, I will post pictures later.. Joshua is at VBS taking pics of the kiddos and seems to be enjoying that. Parker and I have been here at the house chillin all week. He is asleep so I thought I would send out an update and let everyone know. Please keep me in your prayers over all this and my family too.. I am really freaking about going under.. I have NEVER had to do that.. so yeah... I am praying for FAST recovery. And the smarts to take it easy after all this and build back up where I was.
Hope everyone is well.

Knee update

Knee still hurts, might get pain meds today. Joshua and I went to get an MRI last night.. well I did the MRI Joshua was there for support... Man that was kind of freaky... anyways... we will find out the results when we have our follow up appointment on Wednesday... Until then just trying to take it easy.. Joshua is taking GREAT care of me.. and doing a GREAT job with things around that house.. I know all this keeps him way way busy...

So we get to go see Wicked tonight! and I am so excited so need something like this.. can't wait to spend the night out on the town, on cruches with my man... All sounds like dream but the cruches but I will work with what I have.. right.. at least I will be out with MY MAN! --- Forever thine, forever mine, forever ours.

Total Bummer --> Knee update.

Okay here is the latest in case you are wanting to be updated.
For those of you that don’t know.. I have been training for a 5K and while running a week ago I feel. I landed with all my weight on my right knee.. through the week it got worse.. so I went to the doctor on Friday. And they sent me to the orthopedic specialist.
So I went to the orthopedic dr yesterday and he said it looked like I damaged my cartilage behind my knee cap, (the meniscus) and wants to send me to get an MRI. So I will be getting an MRI on Friday at 1pm here in McKinney then I will have follow up with the orthopedic dr. on Monday (not sure the time on this, Joshua (my husband) set this up. I will let you guys know when I find this out.)
Currently I am on crutches and not suppose to use my knee if at all possible.. so in the office I am scooting around in my rolling chair..Thankful for hard wood floors.
Should be interesting.. as for the pain.. not too bad in the morning but it just gets worse during the day and at night.. yeah OUCH!!! Right now it is throbbing..
Good times.. Trying to figure out what God is trying to teach me here.... only thing I can come up with is learning to ask for help.. because I am having to do that ALOT.. too much if you ask me...

Summer already - new pics

Well all is well in the family… work out is going well I am one lb away from 10 lbs so excited about that. Work outs have been few because while running on Tuesday morning I took a dive, a big one and banged up my knees pretty good and my hands. My hands and right knee are doing better by left knee not so much. So I am going to the doctor this afternoon to get them to look at my right knee to make sure nothing is wrong with it.
Tyler is now potty trained! So yesterday was TYLER DAY! Joshua took the day off and we went to the local fire house and met some Firemen and Tyler got to sit in Fire trucks and see the inside of an Ambulance and a nice firemen, went upstairs so he could show Tyler how they slide down the pole when a call comes in. Tyler got to try it out too. He loved it but did not say but he was a little overwhelmed… See the pics.




We also went to Wally World and let him pick out his prize. And to no surprise he picked out some Hot wheel stuff and super hero undies. After that a special lunch at Wendy’s and off we went to pick up our youngest Parker (he was at the sitters while we were doing all the things with Tyler). After we picked up Parker we went to the park and Tyler and Parker got to swing.







After that Tyler played in the water while Parker and I chilled and Joshua took some pictures. The rest of the day/evening was recover time for all of us.
That is about all the resent things going on…. Hope all is well with everyone.

Going to get fit..

So really does anyone check this… really? Ha.. anyways.. I finally have gotten up off the couch and started to work out.. 5 days a week is the goal.. and today in 7 days I have missed two days so that works out!! A couple of my friends are meeting me at the park and we are doing a program called from Couch potato to 5K in 9 weeks we are going to our week 2 day 3 (last day of week2) tomorrow.. So far great.. I am actually doing this.. So.. more on that later.. Hope everyone is well.

New pics March, April, May 2010

Update

Yeah it has been a while since i update, everyone is well we started Weight Watchers Monday and it has been a great week... I updated my photo album on google pics., Tyler is doing well he is almost fully potty trained he is doing great. Paker is 20lbs and 29 in. long so time for a new car seat already and he is just 7 months old.. but looks like a 2 year old.. going to have to put up the 6-9 months cloths this week and pull out the 12 month old clothes.. crazy I know.. wow.. well better go to bed..

Week one down~!

Found this picture when looking through my pics at work.. who is this?

Well first week of potty training down and Tyler is doing great.. we are still having issues with #2, but I am sure that will come soon. I was just thinking if he was older he would be mortified if I was putting in my blog, about where he does number two and all.. oh well….. Parker is doing well, starting to chatter A LOT.. we started him on baby food this week, he LOVES bananas!!! Tyler just got over a bout of sickness, he was really sick for about two days….. those are the times I miss tile floors, I still need to shampoo his room.. but we got all that we could… but man.. I never thought I would be able to clean up throw up.. but I guess it is a parent thing… Nothing new with Joshua and I really we are still trying to get a handle on getting up and getting going and out the door in the morning but we are doing much better.. we are starting a new series in our small group this week… Laugh your way to a better Marriage.. and I will say it is really cool.. Joshua and I read a chapter last night.. and man we were laughing a lot.. it was fun… I look forward to seeing the end product of this series. Just a short note to say hey.. and hope everyone is having a great day!

Update!!! Hansen Life

Just an update for you guys on what has been going on in the Hansen house…
Well we all have been sick off and on but we are working on getting better and figuring out what is going on with that we are just praying that God show us what is the cause and a resource to fix this.
Joshua is working hard and really doing great with the boys and helping around that house. He has started leading a small group in our church and doing a great job, I am REALLY PROUD of him. He seems to be busy a lot between work, kids and church and other family activities.
I am still working part time and staying at home with the boys on Tuesday and Thursday. I tried out for McKinney’s Got Talent, did not make it but at least tried out. I love that I can now sing more on the worship team, sure missed it while I was prego… Right now I am trying to find a way to manage my time, and potty train Tyler and make sure Parker is having fun at the same time.. it is work but fun that is for sure.. OH.. I am on day 3 with no coke… which those of you that know me is a BIG deal, so thankful for that. God has been showing me things left and right so I am trying to get my mind around all that and move forward with it.. there are A LOT of ideas in my head, just need to get them in order and walk them out…
As for the boys…
Tyler is now 3 years old, we went to Chucky Cheese for his birthday and he loved it. He went to his 3 year well check up and all is well with him. He is 33lbs and is 40.5 inches tall, looking like he might end up being 6ft 8in. so we are starting to save money for food and clothes now.. LOL.. and a great thing.. Tyler is being potty trained.. for those Mom’s out there, you know how this can be.. and how tough at times but man when they actually pee or poop in the potty, I am don’t know if I ever been so proud… wow.. .Tyler had a great day yesterday.. only one real accident.. and he pooped without us tell him to go to potty.. He did it all himself…. we were all screaming and running around the house.. I am pretty sure our neighbors thought we had totally lost it.. (we had our windows up all day yesterday while this was going on)
I know some of you reading this are like.. wow so did not need to know that TMI.. but that is what is going on in the Hansen house right now.. so … yeah.. funny that I would get so excited about that but.. right now, at this season in my life, that is what gives me true joy… and you know I am okay with that… ;)

As for Parker he is doing well…. He is almost 7 months now… and is doing get he is 18lbs, and 28 inches long. He is getting his first tooth in so he is trying to chew on everything… but he is doing well. As for the cough we did find out it is just happy spitting not reflux. We are going to give him till the end of the week for the cough to go away then back to the doctor to figure out what exactly is going on. We (Joshua and I) had a great and productive talk with the doctor and have a plan of action now, so that is great to know that we and the doctor are on the same page. One thing I have learned from all this, is you need to see one doctor and not jump around, when dealing with a reoccurring sickness. Lessoned learned on that.
All is well we are trying to get sleep when we can (Joshua and I). While working on what our priorities should be. It is amazing how much they change through the years… well the top one is always the same.. but funny how you have to work things around till they fit in their spot.. you guys know me.. with my personality order is a KEY for me.. so I am working on not being so order oriented but just being aware of my time management, which is a total work in progress. I guess we all are a work in progress!!!
Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

So I have not written a blog entry in a while.. almost a week! I was trying to remember what happened this week and I can’t really recall.. I was at home sick on Monday, Tuesday we took Parker to his 6 month well check up, and he is doing well. He is right on track. He is a little over 18lbs that is 75th percentile and as for length he is 28 inches long… in the 97th percentile, and I was really not shocked on that part… We started him on cereal, next step is baby food going to start that next week!! He is getting so big.. turns out he does not have reflux just a “happy spitter”, so waiting for him to out grow that. We are still wondering what is up with his cough but we (J and I and the doc) have a plan of action so that is good.. Over all Tuesday morning was a HARD time but that afternoon got better…Tuesday night had worship practice, and that was cool. Wednesday I went to work and actually had some work to do.. YEAH!! And Thursday I went to meet Melissa and Luke with boys in tow, for lunch. We had a really good visit. After that we headed to the park, and the boys played in the water a while. Tyler had a blast and overall Tyler and I had a good day.. I love those days.. we are trying to get him to get potty trained.. a work in progress.. I digress, after that we headed home, about 45 minutes after being home both the boys passed out and they were out for three hours. I was not sure what to do with myself, so instead of doing something productive, I watched TV and chilled. Now I have to clean, and fold and go to the store tomorrow oh well.. it was worth it.. Oh I watch Glee and it just makes me want to try out for a Broadway play or something.. I love all the singing and putting the songs into situations in life.. I use to do that when I was little… I remember swinging on the playground and singing songs about what was “happening” in my life.. or what I thought should happen… too funny…
So here is something I feel like right now.

I remember, well don’t really but I wish being chubby was still cute at my age. I know it is not.. but I have GOT to get motivated to work out and eat right… You would think the people that I care about in my life would be motivation enough.. but apparently it is not… sad to say. I am just posting this to get this motivation into action… Although I do not get much sleep (boys have been up a lot at night), I need to BUCK UP and work out and get things done…… so this post on… I will have worked out, doing one thing active EVERY day…. And I will be drinking water… as of next week ONE coke a WEEK… those of you that KNOW me know that will be hard..but I can do this… I have to…
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Is what it is

Man!!!

This weekend was good well till today.. yesterday we had fun with family and friends, celebrating Tyler's birthday at Chucky cheese... then we came home and chilled with family...we got to bed at a decent time.... night before Parker was up most the night so Joshua and I were REALLY tired.. and we woke up today with ALL of us sick..... yet again we are sick... but the good thing in a weird way.. I feel good that we are the only ones sick.. how do i know this..well all the FB post saying people are sick and I just went to WalMart to get some cold meds and the cold/sinus and flew meds were scarse... so.. that makes me feel good in a way.. because we seem to be sick all that time it seems.. yes, we have ordered some kits to test mold in our house (we have been sick alot since we moved in) so we are looking into ALL options..... Well off to chill and try to get better.. oh just found a leak in the boys toliet in their bathroom.. YEAH!!! NOT.. oh well is what it is... sure will miss church today.... miss my church family when we are not there.

Three days and counting

3 days from today I will be auditioning for McKinney's Got Talent.. hope and pray it goes well, I just want to do my best and have fun with it.... and see what goes from there.
Tyler had a good family birthday party.. my side was not able to be there, but I was representin'.. he loves all his gifts and at the end Uncle Larry and I sprayed him with Silly String he LOVED it.. it was alot of fun.
So I have not talked about my weight for a while, know why? Not doing well. I am lacking the energy to work out and I am not getting that much sleep.. I "know" if I would just get up and exercise I would have more energy but guess I am lacking the motivation.. well I got some yesterday I weighed.. umm yeah.. 190 kids... not good... so I am being mindful of my water intake and intake of everything else.. I MUST work out.. MUST MUST...
Krizty's thought for the day-- I want to be put in time out.. 33 min. to myself sounds WONDERFUL!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!!

Today my son Tyler turned 3 years old, and man the time has flown by. I am so blessed to have a wonderful sweet and funny son. He lights up my day.. We have had our moments, but I would not change it... I love him so much.. and so proud to me Tyler's Mom (aka Mr. T, Buddy, and Bubby (I call him that)
on the way to the sitters today we were jamming out to music he was playing a cool air guitar.. and did great on air drums.. Aunt She She would be so proud.... he was on beat!!!
Today is declared Tyler day at the Hansen house, all day is about our boy... can't wait to see what this year holds for him.. hoping potty training is in that mix.. we are starting the lolly pop method today.. so we will see.. last night he sat on the potty and tried.. so that is a definate start.
We had a great Easter weekend, cleaned Friday night, alot of Easter events on Sat. and Easter Sunday (church and family and shopping for T's bday and getting ready for his family party tonight)
More later....

Easter thoughts

Worked out yesterday and today.. Two days in a row.. YEAH.. now if I could get my eating under control, two cokes yesterday and pizza for supper and two cookies...this morning when I got to work a guy brought donuts so I had to eat one.. right?? I know i did not have to but I did.. good news is I am drinking water..
I am going to MAKE time for workout and my time..in the mist of my crazy life.... a must...

Thought for the day --- You know this weekend is Easter... and I was thinking about someone and really felt I should share.. so...
As we spend time with family and attend church.... I hope you keep in mind the reason for Easter.. celebration of how Jesus rose from the DEAD... crazy right? This is how much power there is in God.. he can raise people from the dead among many other things.. in today's society we seem to focus on people who are successful in whatever they do... here is a thought.. what can be more successful than raising someone (Jesus) from the dead.. AND taking all our sins at the cross and covering them... People, we were not even a glimmer in His eye... and Jesus died for us.. how cool is that?? I think that shows some SERIOUS love.. when you up and die for someone you don't even know or have not met yet.. you know?? Think about it.... just a thought, So glad to know and rest that no matter what I have done, Jesus loves me, and will always love me, He is there to comfort me and help me through anything, ALL I have to do is CALL HIS NAME... I am not sure where you are in your life.. but know that your are loved by someone that does is there for you in a snap, Jesus love is unconditional ALL THE TIME!! If you mess up, just get up and dust yourself off, and grab that hand that is there to help you up, Jesus's hand, and keep a hold of that hand as you walk...
Happy Easter guys..
I hope you have a great day... you are loved!

Floating... don't like it.

Hello all, well yesterday there was really nothing that went on, oh wait.. Tyler was up at 3:30 am we are not sure if he ever went back to sleep, but about 6:30am Joshua wakes me up saying he needs my help and heads to Tyler’s bathroom, I get up and follow and what a surprise I find.. My dear son Tyler, had been a busy little boy. He used pretty much an entire tube of toothpaste to “decorate” his bathroom, toothpaste was all over the mirror, sink and wall… looking back at least the toothpaste smelt like berries, Ha! And he also got everything that was below the sing (he never messes with) got all that out and had a time. So that is how we started our day out yesterday.. but it got better. The boys and I went to bible study and it was a good time. Then about 1pm Joshua’s Mother came to get Tyler for a night and day at their house, so about two Parker and I took a nice nap and I caught up on my shows. After that we had dinner than I was off to worship practice. I came home and watch AI… it was pretty good, I kept falling sleep though.. so did not see everyone… so we will so who goes tonight I did not vote this week, so I hope mine are safe. I slept pretty good, woke up about 7:30am and Parker was up and hungry and ready to eat.. you know he is so freaking cute.. So while getting ready Joshua had the TV on VH1.. all I have to say is WHY do people think they need to be showing so much freaking skin come on people.. it is not about your body, it SHOULD be about the music.. I think that is where we as a society have lost the vision on music… it is all about how you look not really how you sound… that is sad.. hope that changes.. really do.
So I am in a really weird place right now.. I seem to be just floating through life, and really don’t like that feeling, I WANT to get my feet back on the ground and I am working on that.. thanks to everyone for the encouraging FB post and emails.. means a lot.. I know this too will pass but come on… really…… ? I just typed a lot of stuff out and deleted after reading it, thought it might come across wrong.. moving on..
So there is a place by my work were there are men standing there waiting for someone to drive by that need people to work for them.. I am not sure how that works with the pay and on the books and stuff but I hope they are getting paid and it is all legal. Anyways, there was a truck that drove up and people just ran to the truck, so many people you could not even see the truck anymore till they drove off.. it was just so sad to watch to know that your income comes from how fast you can find a job and how many jobs you can do..Man… thought Hello Krizty, BUCK UP… your life is not bad at all… it was like as my hubby said.. a flock of hungry pigeons but only one piece of bread.. man..
I am really missing my kids… I miss Tyler so much, he will be gone for 1.5 days till I see him next going to see him about 6pm tonight… although he can be a serious handful I sure do miss the guy. I still can not wrap my head around him turning 3 on Monday.. I know.. that is crazy…
Maybe my main issue is that Time is flying and I feel like I am missing out somehow.. so how to fix that? Stand up and get in the game.. stop watching on the side lines.
Krizty thought for the day--- I am ready to play!!!

This weekend... and.. more more..

This is from a devotion I was reading this morning.. really good stuff..
"Right now, I want you to use your imagination. The Bible tells us in Ephesians that we are "in Christ" and Christ is "in us." It also tells us that we are seated "in heavenly places" and "transferred to the kingdom of Christ." Picture yourself sitting right beside Jesus under a spreading oak tree. Perhaps His arm is around your shoulder and your head is resting on his chest. You can feel the beating of His heart against your cheek and your head moves with the rise and fall of His breathing. With His other hand, He strokes your head and immediately knows how many hairs are on your head. His breath warms your skin as it brushes past your face. Imagine Him looking into your eyes and knowing your innermost being and meeting your gaze with a warm, affirming smile reassuring you of His love and care.
Now tell me, as you imagine yourself in the presence of Jesus, how anxious do you feel? How rejected do you feel? How worried about tomorrow are you? You may be thinking, "Yes, Sharon. I feel at peace in that scene. But that's not reality." Dear sister, that is the greater reality. No matter what you are going through today, Jesus is right there with you. So maybe you just need to sit down and be quiet for a while."

Okay so great weekend we had just start off with that.
Friday night we had pizza night and a family movie, we watch Astro Boy it was pretty cute, and it held Tyler’s attention most of the time. We had a picnic on the couch and made an event out of the night. Friday night after we put the boys to bed we spent the rest of night trying to pick out what song I was going to sing for the MGT, the try outs are a week from Friday…!!! So I settled on Free Fallin’ from Tom Petty, and we went to bed.
The next morning I was trying to sing Free Fallin while taking a shower and trying to “switch it up” to be mine.. and well it just did not work out… but thought nothing really of it.. and moved on getting ready… So I went to Baby’s R Us, with boys in tow, and a Jennifer a dear friend, to get some gifts for Cooper, Reyna’s baby boy. That was a good time picking out the presents and looking at all the CUTE stuff they had for babies and kids, and you would be proud those of you out there, I did not buy anything for Tyler or Parker.. Although, Tyler was pointing at everything saying, “ Look Momma, this is cute…” But I escaped that trap and did not get anything for the boys.. YEAH Me… OH.. on the way to the store we saw that there will be a Freebirds coming in the Allen Village.. those of you that know this place.. don’t have to explain.. those that don’t.. it is like Chipotle but MUCH better (Jennifer P, you know it is ;) ) So that was really exciting for me.. yeah I know.. sad right? Oh well.. then after dropping Jennifer off at her house I dropped off some blankets for Heather’s dog… and then I was off to Wal-Mart well thing was Tyler fell asleep… so .. I thought okay.. now what.. so I went to Sonic got a coke than called my cuz to see how she was.. we talked about stubborn boys, and how I am getting old.. with the blaring music by me.. but come on it was shaking my car too… so.. yeah… then after that I went home parked the car and have a great conversation with my neighbor, soon not to be… booo boo… and then Tyler finally woke up about an hour after that. When he woke up Joshua told me he needed something from Wal-Mart a 6inch wood screw.. umm yeah right.. what?? Sending me to the store to get something like that.. good luck.. so Amanda came with me.. well on our way… we started talking about IKEA…and we make a spontaneous call to just go there and then to Wal-Mart.. well we also thought we would go to Anna to take a look at a house, so after that we headed to IKEA for the IKEA experience.. as I told Amanda this is an event.. (I think she thought I was crazy… ) but guess what it was… it took us a few hours to go through it and.. get this.. drum roll please….. NEITHER ONE OF US BOUGHT ANYTHING!!! Did we want to .. umm heck yeah..!!! I got some great ideas on how to cover my old pillows at home and so going to do that once I have the extra $$. It was really fun and I loved spending some girl time with Amanda.. good times.. so then on our way to Wal-Mart Amanda got a call that she had missed an appointment so I had to run her home.. well since we live next to each other, I called Joshua and said, “Hey coming to get you we are going to Wal-Mart.” So I dropped A off and picked up J and we were off to Wal-Mart… on the search for a 6 inch wood screw and Easter eggs for the Easter egg hunt this Saturday, well we did find the eggs and plus.. but not wood screw…. So we headed home had some dinner and watched some TV, I had some Krizty time (did my nails and just chilled) , I picked another song, since Free Fallin was not working out, I moved to Lisa Loeb “Stay” I think that will really be a better fit… now I just need to step up on the practicing and get to it…. After I picked the song, yet again… I was off to bed..
Then yesterday hit… and let me fess up here, although I have been out of my rut it seems I have made myself really busy…. Too busy for quite time and just to be still.. so I can tell something was way off.. well Sunday morning was a tough time Joshua went early to church for media and I was at home with kids… Tyler was in A LOT of time outs.. and we had good and bad moments…. So I got us all to church in a frenzy.. checking in the kids I ran into someone I knew they told me to smile.. I did.. and do you know… they said ,”Now that was the fakest smile I have ever seen.” I was totally taken back but laughed it off.. but inside I was crushed, and thought you know what maybe that was… so I headed to the sanctuary and it was weird, every song, event, and all I was in tears.. I was just a ball of water…. God was really dealing with me on how I need to think of these times with Tyler as a blessing and not a burden, children are blessings and just that… and I need to cherish my time.. and don’t get me wrong I do cherish my children but as some of you can attest to sometimes being a mom and dealing with kids stuff just wears on you, you know? And that was one of my days.. so that being said.. I cried a lot that morning and needed it so much.. there was a poem that our rockin pastor read it was called “Wet Oatmeal Kisses”. Wow that is a poem .. it changes your outlook on kids completely, it is a must read, I have it if you want me to email it to you…. Anyways…. I totally needed that poem and service..….and it was so refreshing to know that God knew this… We are all at appointed places at appointed time for God to move.. and boy did He move.. so after that off to a baby shower, in Flower Mound.. Cooper’s baby shower, never seen so many monkeys… but a really fun and cute shower.. I even won a game feeding Jennifer Parks apple sauce while I was blind folded.. so after the shower we went to Rosa’s Café.. YUMMO YUMMO.. it was GREAT… loved it…then we were off to life group… it was a great life group a lot of people shared, at times it seemed like we were going off track but I truly think some people there needed to hear what others had to say.. so Joshua just took it step by step and let it flow… at the end of the life group it was weird it was like in minutes all the kids had melt downs, two fell off the bed, (Tyler being one of them) Poor Maggie… thanks for watching all those kids btw… When we got home Tyler did not want to get out of the van so we left him in the to teach him a lesson how it would get cold and such… (Now don’t worry we did not leave him in there over night or more than 10 min.. we were watching him… ) he was thinking he had it all in his own little fort.. well until he bumped his head then he wanted to come in.. so we got him ready for bed and off to bed he went.. After that Joshua went to the store and I took some time and started on the “Purple Book” (side note… I have heard of the Purple Book for YEARS, I went to church where Pastor Rice preached, so all this talk of the Purple Book, back in the day I bought it.. but I lost it in the years of moving and packing and such… so I am excited to actually go through it) I did the first three sessions, trying to get the first chapter done by tomorrow… (remember the not having quite time all week last week.. yeah) and it was really great… I am loving it… I got some quite time and it felt great..
This morning I had ALL intentions on getting up and working out but, there is something up with my back.. can’t really move my right side that well not sure what is up with that.. but .. I did not work out due to that.. tomorrow I am going to push through… so I slept some more.. and I woke up late.. but you know that cool thing. I was running about 15 or more minutes late and I sat down before I got up to get ready and read my bible… (something I heard. Last night.. the word of God is like a vitamin, we need it to stay healthy… what a good way to look at it… ) And in praying we need to know God’s promises so we can use those while we are praying and to know God’s promises we need to read His word.. that is where the TRUTH is… and for some reason that really hit me..
I digress… so I was reading Psalms it was great and really spoke to me but the funny thing is I can’t remember what it said right now and where in Psalms it was.. I will have to look it.. up..
But today is the day the Lord has made.. I WILL Rejoice and be glad in it!!!!
More to come…. OH!!! My baby, big Boy Tyler will be 3 in 7 days.. !!!! What?? and Parker will be 6 months old already.. Wow... seriously where is the time going?

ANYONE?

So I was looking and seems I only have 4 followers' I hope there are more people that read my blog... let me know.. that is sad I am begging for someone to let me know if they read all the "stuff" I put in my blog.. sad... funny, dorky... well that is me... so... ANYONE READING THIS?
Well let’s see.. what has happened since my last blog..Wednesday.. Nothing really Wednesday night we spent relaxing as much as we could and watching the results of AI. And not shocking Page got kicked off, man Page I will have to say with getting over your sickness, I would have passed on that song… ekk… Thursday I took Tyler to the doctor for a follow up on his ear infection and all is looking good on that part so that is good. I then went to the library to turn in books, get some more books, (for Tyler..) Yeah I still don’t read that much.. shocking I know… then off to Target for only two things and I just got two things, then to the bank, then home for a quick lunch, then I had to get Tyler out of Parker’s room (he locked himself in), thanks J for the help. Then a diaper change and 2nd bath for Tyler later, off to drop the kids off to Maggie’s (our wonderful sitter), and off to work.. after work I picked up the boys, went by Wal-Mart and then filled up with gas. I had bible study at 6:30 well made it by 6:50 there but it was a really rushed day it seemed.. Then it seems that Joshua has some kind of funk going on.. the entire left side of his head is messed up and it must be really bothering him because he is going to the doctor today… I know WHAT?? Crazy things happen… right.. this being one of them, I did have to nag a little bit to get him to go..
Well I am really glad today is Friday and looking forward to the weekend. We don’t have much planned, Joshua has something at the church tomorrow, and I have a baby shower I am going to Sunday afternoon.. Yeah Reyna… Cooper is such a cool name… Oh and sometime this weekend I MUST pick out a song for MGT (McKinney’s Got Talent).. I am getting a lot of good ideas thanks for all who have sent me some ideas… some are just freaking funny…. You know who you are… Well better get off to work I have was late today it was a crazy morning.. that is for another blog… well not really just the everyday craziness of two kids and a hubby…Next week I KNOW I have said this before but the workouts and the going to bed at a descent time WILL start I am tired of being so tired.. Man I REALLY want to get my hair cut and colored.. I am so about to color it on my own… I don’t like to have normal looking hair and it has been TOO Long.!!!
Thought for the day--- Why do people assume they are the only people on the road? Seriously... people.. (ok not sure if that was a thought or complaint…. Oh well)

Reflux..... so we wait..

Well we took Parker to the GI doc today and found out he is not aspirating when he is eating so that is good, nothing is going into his lungs. The nasty cough is caused by the reflux. So we are waiting to hear back from the doc to see what the next step is...looking like he will be sleeping elevated for a while and this is looking like a trial and error on what formula to use and such.... and a waiting game.. so.. yeah... I just thought of this.. maybe God is trying to get me wait... because I SUCK at waiting on things...
Thought for the day -- I am not a doctor, I'm a Mom that just wants my child to stop coughing!

Parker rolled over

So I just got an IM from Joshua, saying Parker rolled over from Tummy to back on his own for the first time.. I missed it.. Dang... well I guess at least he is doing it, hey I can check that off on his things he is suppose to be doing.. YEAH!!! Go Parker!! My big boy!!

And...

Well I am officially enrolled for the McKinney’s Got Talent show, and my try out date should be April 9th, now I just have to figure out what to sing, can’t have any music, so we will see on that.. Joshua thinks I should see Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty.. and put my twist on it… I like that idea, I “think”.
Friday was date night, we had a great night planned, we were going to the drive through movies and just have a bang up ole time but after the budget was done and all the trips to the doc last week and this week coming we thought better not. So we dropped the kids off at Joshua’s Mom’s house so we could at least have some time together. After we dropped off the boys we went to eat a Chinese Buffet off 75 and White here in McKinney.. and well.. Joshua thought it was okay, me on the other hand, trying to have an open mind, it was okay. Then about an hour later, not so much.. tummy was HURTING.. so no more Chinese for me for a while… We went home and watched the movie Precious, Wow.. that movie was hard to watch but GREAT.. I can see why Mo’Nique got her Oscar.. Wow, she had to go to one dark place, but the film was really moving.. and one again put our my life in perspective.. As in, come on Krizty it is not that bad.. buck up… you know? After that hard, heavy and moving movie, we played some Guitar Hero.. and the time got away from us we stayed up till 2am. Good thing is with no kids we got to sleep later, I did not get out of bed till 10am and man did that feel good.. So after we got ready on Saturday we headed out to J’s mom to get the boys, and of course they both slept all night and were great.. LOL..funny how that happens… so after the boys and all their stuff were gathered we headed out for family day. We stopped for lunch at Chilis (apparently we eat there a lot Tyler knows the place). After that we headed to Main Event in Plano to play some games with Tyler.. well he fell asleep on the way so we killed some time for about an hour then headed for a world of fun and over priced video games. When we walked in Tyler looked around and said, “Wow, Cool!” he was really excited, we “tried” to play ski ball and he did not have an interest in it for long.. after that was all driving games and boat driving games.. Joshua went in the car to change Parker and feed him, so Tyler was left with me to play video games, (those of you that know me and how I SUCK at video games, might be thinking, “poor Tyler”..) Well get this, our first game that I played was a boat driving game.. get this we got 1st place and a FREE game… Holler!!! After that we did a simulator rollercoaster and Tyler liked it but did get a little scared I think he grabbed onto me.. and I told Joshua later I would ride a video game rollercoaster with T any day.. (in real life, rollercoaster’s and me are NOT friends) So we spent 20 bucks at the video place and it did not take that long. Wow.. oh well it was fun, then we headed to Sam’s to see if getting a membership would be worth the chu-ching. And it will. So we are going to sign up Tuesday I think, it will save us a lot of money for sure. After that we headed home.. oh and did I mention that Sat. was butt cold… (that is really cold)… So cold that it snowed 8 inches that night.. WHAT? Right I know… Snowing the end of March.. brings a whole new meeting to March Madness… So Saturday was a great family day.. Saturday night Parker was up A LOT… and Tyler was up EARLY, so we did not go to church, but did make it to life group that night and am so glad we did.. we talked about prayer and how we need to press in preparatory prayer, so God can prepare us for things coming our way.. because they will come our way, God wants us to be ready.. man do I need to work on that. So jumping back a bit, Friday I was feeling much better, yesterday afternoon started to feel yucky again.. and last night wow.. So hello sinus infection or something not sure but man do I feel yucky right now.. I blame this ALL on Joshua… he gave it to me.. thanks babe, you could have given me flowers or something.. Gift card would have been great, anything but this.. ;) So I plan on taking it really easy today… Joshua let me sleep in and he watched Parker last night and this morning so I could get some extra sleep. Oh last night, Joshua got a call from his dear friend (brother from another Mother) Noel, he asked Joshua to be in his wedding, Joshua was really honored and he is so excited… I thought it was really cool of Noel.. thanks dude if you even read this… so we are for sure going to CA in July.. looking forward to that.. that gives me HUGE motivation to the loosing weight and all…
Well this week, Wednesday, we take Parker to the GI doctor, so I hope they figure out what is going on with my baby… he is doing better I think but still coughing and spitting up a good amount at times, we have decided to not feed him after 8pm at night and not before 6:30am in the morning, because every time we do he throws it all up… sorry for ending on a graphic ‘ish note.. but…. This week hoping for a good one and to being well SOON.. (Tyler is well, Joshua is headed that way, and Parker is getting there, me seem to be at square one.. LOL)
Thought for the day—If you are up a lot with your kids in the middle of the night, just to get them to sleep, do you think God is trying to get you to spend time with Him? At times I think so.

Finally getting warmer!!! YEAH

Yesterday… was a great day... well the morning.. Tyler has a time of it. but it got better after lunch...
After a three hour nap the boys took, we all got ready and took off to the park. We made a stop at Wal-Mart to get a few things, (Tyler needed some shorts, and Parker needed formula), we ended up looking at toys with Tyler.. I “think” he got the idea we were looking for his birthday.. he was really good through it all so we let him pick out one Hot Wheel, what is 97 cents right? Oh during the visit to Wally World, Parker woke up with a really confused look on his face, (Joshua and I both were laughing). Tyler turned around and told Parker….”Hey brother, it’s okay we are at Target….” We corrected Tyler to let him know we were at WalMart.. Then he said.. “OH” and proceeded to correct himself. Like Parker knew what we were staying but none the less it is so cute to see how Tyler looks out for Parker….
Here are some pics of the park, this was Parker’s first time to swing, and wear his shades… Tyler loved to swing along side of his brother.. the other two pics are of Tyler…




Hope you all have a great weekend.. I am looking forward to my weekend…
Oh I am paying for my McKinney has Talent fee today.. so I won’t back out.
Thought for the day—I read this today… like it.. “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.”

Parker William in 18 month PJ's

So you remember me telling you about the Spider Man PJ's that were 18 months that Parker wore the other night.. here is a pic...

Now and Then.. time is flying... looking forward to the weekend.

Now and then..pics of Tyler and Parker.. First one was taken..3-14-09, and the second one 10-16-09, man they are growing fast..



Well I weighed in this morning.. and 186 is the tally… so working on getting that down… I am going full force next week working out and all. I am giving my body this week to get 100% better then watch out!!! Today I was suppose to go to work to make up some hours but Maggie (our dear sitter) has an ear infection so letting her rest… hope you get better Mags… today going to just chill with kids, going to the park this afternoon… right now I am watching Wallie.. not sure how many times I have seen this.. but Tyler really likes it. I will have to say it is a great movie if I can watch it over and over and it not bother me… at least it is not an annoying movie right? Counting my blessings on that… Off to get some computer stuff done… Hope you all have a rockin out day… check out my face book page there will be new pics on there today…Looking forward to date night tomorrow.. Joshua just told me we are going to the drive in movies have not been there since I was kid... I was so little I don't remember going... ...
Krizty’s thought for the day --- Outlook determines outcome.(think about that… only three words but says so much in just three words)

So ....alot of post today.. :)

I was just thinking I have not really gave an update on how Tyler and Parker are doing, and what they are up to... so...
Tyler is almost 3, we are still working on potty training but I know it is just around the corner.. well hope it is at least.. he is just growing like crazy and saying the funniest things... he is GREAT with Parker.. now whenever Parker is crying Tyler will stop what he is doing go to him and ask what he needs, then go get him a toy or give find the paci... Parker also gets a kick out of T too.. he watches he every move.. Tyler got a hair cut via Me.. and well lets just say Duder has longer hair I think.. (Duder is my Dad). Next time I cut it, which will be a while.. I am going to try a Mohawk, once Tyler is potty trained we are going to put him in Preschool... yeah that's right.. Pre School.. just be a few days a week.. but wow... 5 is just around the corner....
Parker will be 6 months the same day Tyler turns 3! Parker is "talking" alot, and a very happy baby, he laughs alot, and loves to sit up and watch whatever his brother is doing. He has not rolled over yet, but he sits up well and loves to bounce.. I think he just does not like to be laying there he wants to be up... he is wearing a wide range of sizes of clothes from 6-9 months on some things all the way up to 18 months.. last night he wore a Spider Man PJ's that were 18 months and they fit well. (pics to come soon)
If I remember right Tyler did not roll first he started to sit up then he would roll if he wanted to get somewhere, he scooted for awhile after that, then the crazy crawl, and walking... so excited to see what Parker will do...
Both boys are really a joy.. and we love them so much.. they are growing too fast... eek...

Correction!!! Me and my hubby..

Here is a pic of Joshua and I.. 7 years this year.. what a ride.. Look forward to many many many more years with you babe! Luv Luv.. ummmwwwhhhhaaaa

The boys!!

Well in a few weeks Mr T as we call him will be 3 years old and Parker will be 6 months.. WHAT!!! Here a pic of them taken in last month!...

Update on my cousin Brandi..

I got an email from Brandi she is doing well, she started back to work this week and doing good. She has been to chemo for a week and 3 days. She got her blood work back yesterday and everything was normal. She had a follow up appointment at the end of the month... Last time it took a few weeks to start dropping but so far so good. Bran, still gets tired easily and her head and jaw are still sore. Keep the prayers going.. and thanks for all the prayers and thoughts!!!

So far mostly so good....

Okay so lets see… Monday was a good day for the most part… A cool thing that happened Monday night, Joshua fixed a guys computer from work, and he asked what he owed Joshua, he said you can pay me in meat… ;) (this guy owns a meat company), and do you know he brought over TWO BOXES of meat.. way way more than we even expected, it was such a blessing…thanks Matt… Then last night I went to Target and guess what Hamburger Helper was on sale for $1!!! So I bought 7 of them..so we have a supper for a week.. YEAH! CHA CHING!!!!!
1 John 3:18, "Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions."--- that being said.. Love you! If you are reading this you know me some way I would think.. know you are important to me.. everyone in my life, I hold dear and close to my heart…..
I regress…focus…. “SQUIRL” …. Tuesday I got up and worked out, I am trying a new video from Jillian from the Biggest Loser.. and it is only 20 min. So I thought, “20 minutes can’t be that bad…..” Well wow boy was a I WRONG.. man was that a hard work out.. I thought I was going to die while realizing how out of shape I am… and also thought man walk away the lbs… um.. that is nothing compared to this.. Wow.. So last night I was sore all over, and this morning I am sore… dude I can even feel my abs are sore.. and I have not felt that in a LONG while.. so I am actually excited about this.. I think I am going to work out tonight when I get home.. because hey just 20 minutes right? I still have not weighed I guess I am scared.. but I need to just buck up and weigh.. right…. K I will do that at lunch… I am feeling much better still have a cough at night and some during the day but that is getting better. Tyler is doing better. Parker is doing better, he is still spitting up but not as much as he was last week I think, and he is still coughing hope we see the GI docs SOON.. still waiting on a call from them.. I am going to call them this afternoon if I have not heard from them. Nothing else really new here… we are trying to figure out what pics we want to print out for the house, and get that done, by the end of the month.. and we are working on Tyler’s birthday party.. We are going to have it Chucky Cheese, this year instead of inviting everyone and their dog…;) Since we are having it at Chucky Cheese, we are just inviting family, and some of T’s buddies (all boys) I thought that would be easier since he is rough at times, and our chances of altercations are less that way.. so we will see… we have having it at Chucky Cheese because our house is really too small.. so next year.. hoping to have it at “OUR” house, where ever that may be…. So it should all be fun for sure.. but that is really all we are up to.. just trying to recover and get everyone well… Stayed tuned…
OH… I voted for the first time for AI people….. did not realize I could just send a text.. how hard it that? So I will keep voting..!!!
Krizty’s thought for the day --- If your kid can sing the theme song to all his shows, does he watch them too much, or just good at memorizing… … Good new here, Tyler is going to be a good singer.. he can carry a tune already…. Thankful he got the Miller genetics on that one.. 

YEAH NEW WEEK!!!!-- BRING IT!!

Psalm 40:3, "He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God...
So I was looking for pics to post, and ran across this of me and my sweet sweet Mammaw.. boy I miss her so much... Love you Mammaw.... can't wait to see you again... and I know you see us.. we Love you and miss you so much!!!
Boy am I glad last week is OVER… boy it was a hard week, I was in a major rut not feeling well, and family getting sick. Last night I was up off and on till 5am with Parker, and I got up at 7 rushed to get ready and too work and made some breakfast for the family… I feel much better today than I have in a while, I still have a cough but I think that is getting better also.. although I am not 100% better I feel like I am well on my way… and out of my rut so excited about that.
This week, I want to get things done at work, at the house, and MUST play guitar and write.. MUST!!!
Side note.. you know I like the time change.. !!! Makes it feel like Summer.. I really don't like the winter hours... gets dark WAY too soon!!
This weekend was pretty much a hideout in the Hansen house weekend, everyone was sick. Friday, I took Tyler into the doctor on Friday, double ear infection.. yuck… Saturday we took Parker to the doc, that was a very emotional morning for me… I cried a lot!! I was so worried about Parker that he would stop breathing.. so I called the doc they wanted him to come in ASAP… (yeah I freaked), so Joshua took Parker to the doc. Because I was a basket case…. Apparently Parker is still having some serious issues with reflux, they are going to see him in Plano sometime this week and monitor him during and after a feeding and see what happens, depending on what happens there we will figure out what the next step is.. but I am DETERMINED to get an answer why my baby boy is coughing so much and still spitting up a lot…
Yesterday while Joshua was at church, I got a “great” idea to cut Tyler’s hair, because it really needed a cut.. but not the cut I gave him. Being the first time to use clippers without Joshua not telling me which number to use… I used a 1 on Tyler.. and those of you that know anything about clippers yeah that is the shortest you can use, besides using just the clippers.. Whoops…. So Tyler has really short hair… I am hoping for the hair to grow out fast.. but I am really thinking of next time to cut a Mohawk… I think that would be sweet… nothing else really happened this weekend…. We just took it easy and rested as much as we could.. Oh I did put Tyler’s 3T’s in storage, he is not officially in 4T!!! And I moved Parker to officially only be wearing 6-9, 9 months… we will see how long that last right?
Oh as for the weight thing.. well starting that back up today.. will weigh at lunch.. and post this afternoon or tomorrow.. did not work out today but will tomorrow.. we bought a new workout video 20 min work out.. with Jillian from Biggest Looser…. !!! hope it makes you really sweat…
Krizty thought for the day: When you have such a rough week, don’t you think God is trying to show you something while Satan is pilling all kinds of stuff on you… or is it God giving you a chance to STOP and listen… I think both at times.. but for me.. I think it was the latter, I am listening……
This pic sums up how I feel.. ready for this week bring it.. going to have this attitude.. Tyler having a good time.. you go!!! I WILL have this out look this week!!! This WILL be a good week!!

Funk/crazy week/me and kids sick/ new week next week.

Well it has been a while since I updated this blog you know why? I have had a crappy week let me tell ya… it is so weird how Satan has jumped on my back… makes me wonder what God has planned for me you know? I have been in a serious rut this past week and think I am headed out of it… I even got sick through I all.. so going to rest up the rest of today and rest up as much as I can… So we are currently watching Dinosaur made from Disney.. and Tyler is loving it.. seems that the oldies such as 101 Dalmatians, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White really don’t hold his attention it is like he only likes it if it is CG animation or something… Well Tyler has a double ear infection, and Parker still has his cough think it “might” be getting worse if you ask me. So he is going into OUR doctor and I am not leaving till I have an answer why he is still coughing a few months later.. this is crazy… so Joshua and I were going to do a detox starting Monday and well it lasted till Monday night.. my fault totally… maybe someday.. Sunday Joshua and I got baptized it was a great feeling and so glad to share this experience with my husband.. you should have seen him get “dunked” it was too funny,,, but TOTALLY Cool!!! Well I am looking forward to tonight Date night and relaxing.. tomorrow will be full of cleaning and getting clothes out.. Parker is now in 9 months, so need to put the smaller ones up.. and Tyler is officially too big for 3T so those need to be packed up.. And tomorrow night second round of Gestures between CHICKS and DUDES… it is ON DUDES.. be prepaired to LOSE!
I am so ready for next week, going to face it head on... BRING IT!
