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!

My loving family.. Here are some pics that my dear friend Karis took.. Karis you did a GREAT job.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Guess who...Tired/McKinney's got talent/

Guess who is who on this pics? Do you know who is who? Which one is T witch one is P? Survey says.....

Well seems I am in a rut… frown!! I have not been getting much sleep due to Parker not sleeping well. Neither has Joshua he has been helping me with Parker at nights.. Home dude, P is still coughing so I took him to the doc again and they said it could be because of reflux so he is on meds for a month.. he has to take it 20 minutes before he eats in the morning and 20 minutes before he eats at night. Thing is we don’t know the exact time he will be hungry so it is kind of dicey at times. Thankfully Tyler is feeling much better!
So Parker is now saying Baaa Baaa.. thinking he is trying to say bubba… it is so cute!
So McKinney is having a talent show in April and yeah I am going to try out! I am excited about it I just have to figure out what song I am going to sing and such.. so thinking about that. Joshua thinks I should rewrite songs out there but with new lyrics, what do you mean you ask? Well you heard of Weird Al Yankovic, have you noticed he is about the only one out there, and there are not females doing this.. hum… there might be something there.. you think?? Here is an example and a little story behind it.. We are working on Potty Training Tyler my oldest, and he said he was scared to poop so I told him it was okay to do that we just wanted him to do it in the potty.. well I was telling Joshua about this and Joshua asked if I told Tyler that everyone poops… and I thought.. humm… “everybody poops”… Well you know the REM song.. Everybody Hurts? I thought of a song kind of like… “Everybody poops, its okay, Everybody poops… Don’t be afraid, oh no. Don’t be afraid….. “ totally needs some work but that is idea, to take every day songs and change them but dealing with kids.. The kids will like them and the adults will too because they know how the song actually goes and might get a kick out of it.. … I don’t know Joshua you might have something there…. You think?
So we went to go see Avatar and it was pretty good, weird how someone can come up with all those people, you know? Oh we went to hang out at Kim and Luis house Saturday night and it was GREAT! So much fun, we had some good lasagna with no spinach, ha ha.. and played a mean game of Guesstures Kim and I were beating Luis and Joshua but they came back and beat us but not by much.. there will be a rematch for sure.. we had a great time and so blessed to have them in our life’s.
Sunday was good, I woke up late to go get the boys so I was pretty rushed that morning but got to church on time.. yeah! Sunday night was life group and it went well besides my oldest son hitting like crazy.. I am not sure what Tyler’s deal was but it did force Joshua and I to have a discipline talk and come to an agreement on how we are going to nip the hitting and such in the bud and what we came to agreement on I am quite happy with and it seems to working really well.. Positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement a balance of each!
Joshua got me a snuggie, yeah that’s right.. it is pink and totally comfy.. thanks hubby!
Oh no weigh in yet this week, might do my inches this week, maybe this weekend.. I am going to do a detox with some girls from work and Joshua. So stayed tuned for that, posting should be interesting for sure!
So this weekend we are going to a wedding Joshua’s cousin David T. and then Sunday is our church’s 5th Anniversary so there is a going to be a big celebration there. Joshua and I are also getting baptized, so looking forward to that, and sharing this time with my hubby, how cool is that right?
Lets see.. nothing just all that new… just trying to get some sleep, but not working out.. I hope it does soon, it makes it hard to function when you don’t have much sleep.
Krizty’s thought for the day: (blank too tired)
