Off to the DOCTORS AGAIN!!!

Spencer started screaming-his I'm in pain scream, so I took his temperature and it was 101.1. OH MY! What is wrong. I call the doctor, and my favorite nurse is off for the day, so I had to have the nurse call me back. Of course I did not feel the phone vibrate, we were at summer reading so I had to turn off the ring, and so they left a message. The tone of the message was not very inviting to call back and I do not like that nurse. So, I wait until Weds. to call my friend to tell her I am bringing him in TODAY!!! She calls me back when she gets to work and works me into the schedule. We get there my friends sees me and takes me right back (Oh how I love knowing people) and they weigh Spencer. I look at the scale and to my surprise Spencer has gained weight.....how much you say? He is now up to 15pds. 13 oz. We get into the room and since I have three screaming kids the doctors come pretty fast these days. The doctor comes in and ask so what is going on with Spencer? I tell he has an ear infection. He then asks what are his symptoms? I then run down the list....he is screaming in pain, has a temperature, and not eating very well. I them ask him if he wants to me tell him what else he wants me to look at while we are there. Meanwhile Kip and Sada find the step stool and are climbing up and down the step stool and then they found out the could climb up on the bed. Anyway, the doctor looked at his rash from head to almost toe, his sore on his neck and then his ears. Poor Guy he has a double ear infection. No wonder he has been screaming his ears off. POOR SPENCER.
The rash he said was probably from the temperature, and the sore was from his chubby neck.
So, we are now on a stronger antibiotic than last time since it has not been that long since he had his last ear infection.
AND Kip is now throwing a fit. Gotta Go

What a wonderful Day

Happy Fathers Day!!!
Today we woke up real early because Kip wanted chocolate milk, Chad talked him into drinking water. We all went back to sleep, 3 hours later Kipling came into the room wanting chocolate milk, I caved in and got him some. He drank it and a couple minute later I hear him throwing up. I jump up, because he is in my bed and he is laying right near Spencer. We clean that up, and clean him up and by that time everyone was up. The kids gave Chad his presents one by one, while I was preparing a special breakfast for him. He had Bacon, Pancakes, and an omlet with 3 types of peppers, tomatoes and cheese very yummy. Clean that up.
We went to Church came home and had our Favorite Missionaries over to eat dinner. Then my Parents stopped by to spend some time with us as well as pick up their truck I brought home from the beach.
It was such a nice an peaceful day we were able to spend together and not have to go anywhere.
We love visiting family but it is just nice for once to stay home and enjoy each other.
I am so grateful for my husband and all the things he does for me and also my family. I am grateful for my own Father and his hard work, faith, and example he showed me so I knew what I wanted in a husband, and I found all of the qualities I was looking for.
I just hope and pray Chad will continue to be the great DAD he is and my boys will grow up and acquire most of his traits.

FREE MOVIES/Kip, Sada & Spencer first cinema trip

Sada & Levi waiting for the movie to start

I got an e-mail from a friend with the schedule of free movies. This was the first one, as well as the first time Kip, Sada and Spencer have ever been to a movie theater. They had so much fun. It helped that Dianna pulled into the parking lot right after I did so we walked in together. Kip and Kinleigh held hands into the theater and then sat together, they were so cute. Levi and Sada sat by each other until Sada could not sit still any longer. She got out of her seat and Levi want so badly to get out of his seat but he was buckled in. Sada got back into her seat for the last couple of minutes so I could get a picture .
So, the first movie, Kip, Sada and Spencer watched in a movie theater was Doogal. Very cute movie.
The movie starts when a shaggy dog Doogal is trying to get a candy from a cart. He put the nail in the road to stop a cart and is waiting for a sweet prize for guarding it. When the cart is going on again Doogal decides to choose the other road. There he meets the strange blue jack-in-the-box-like creature. It takes a decorative Foot Guard figurine with three magic diamonds and disappears. After this even the road and all things around become frozen.

The citizens are very scared because of these occasions. They call the kind wizard named Zebadee. Zebadee is the similar creation and is eager to help everybody. Zebadee knows the evil named Zeebad. He has been living in a mystical prison and is known as ice wizard. But now Zeebad is free. And can freeze all around. He is the very wizard caused the first Ice Age.

The only way to bring Zeebad back to the prison is taking away three magic diamonds. Otherwise the world will become frozen again. The save mission is charged for the friends’ gang: the cow named Ermintrude, the snail Brian, rabbit Dylan and dog Doogal and magic speaking train. They get to know that Zeebad has gathered all three diamonds and can freeze even the sun and realize how serious their mission is. Our heroes go to the snowy mountains and make a camp there.

During the battle taking place next to the Zeebad’s refuge the evil wizard freezes Zebadee and collapses the cliff on which he stands.

Dougal and his friends stay alone without their guide. They have a trip then to the volcano full of traps and skeleton guards. They met Sergeant Sam having the third diamond in his chest. It’s too hard to take diamonds back but our heroes never give up. When Zebad is going to breeze the sun Ermintrude, Brian, Dylan, and finally Dougal do their best to stop him. They get a victory over evil force and unfreeze Zebadee. The ice all over melts and the life in the village becomes happy again.

JUST ME!!!!

Memorial Day-I kept telling Chad I needed to go and buy a swim suit. So, when time came he said I could go all by myself. OH WOW!!! I needed the break let me tell you. Spencer & Sada were asleep so at first it was just Kipling. I pumped so Spencer would have something to eat when he woke up. My first stop to get gas, because the day before I drove all the way to Smithfield and back with my gas light on to go to church. Then to Target to look at Swimsuits. As I was walking in I told myself today was a day for me and me only. I was walking around just looking at all of the clothes and one of the lady's that worked there came up to and asked me if I needed any help finding something. CAN SOMEONE NOT JUST LOOK AROUND W/OUT KIDS!! So, I did not find anything, well not in my price range so I head over to the bra section to scope out nursing bras, and there was actually something there besides plain white. Anyway over to the kids section OH MY I was in HEAVEN!!! I saw 75% OFF I was there. So, of course the kids got clothes, since I was able to get a good deal and had the time to sort through the clothes and do the math on who was going to be what size next year. Check out and I got a lot of things for the amount I spent. Then down to Ross. There I found two swim suits, 5 shirts a beach bag, also some flip flops. Oh course I had to buy Sada some shoes poor girl needs clothes and shoes. Go up to the register and oh man Chad is not going to let me go out again for a long time. But, I was able to get good prices and be out shopping for several hours by myself and treat myself to some more Anniversary presents. I needed the shirts since my top side does not fit most of the shirts I have in my closet. I guess that is the blessing of having 3 kids right close together. YEEHAH!!!

Saturday-visit to Sesame Street

I had scheduled a time to go and see my parents this past weekend to go to the air show at Cherry Point in Havelock and since it is closer to Jacksonville we decided to go and visit. My Mother had told me that they were having Military Appreciation Day on Base and had a carnival with lots of different things to do. So, I decided to look it up online and when I did I found they were having a Sesame Street show and you had to be Military and you had to get tickets. So, my Father went that next day and got us tickets. The kids loved the show. As soon as we got in the stadium they gave the Elmo spinners and bandanna's(free). The show was geared towards Military families and Deployment, but it was still a good show and the kids got to see the characters and best of all it was FREE!! When we were leaving they were giving out free boxes of girl scout cookies again all FREE!! They also gave us two DVD's which were geared as well to Military Families, but Kip still loves to be able to see Elmo *that is all that matters.
The USO put on the show and paid for all of the goodies given out. Thank-you so much USO. Why did they not have this when I was growing up?!?!?!

Friday-What a day!!

Here they are Kipling, Little Dude, Sada and Jr. resting after picking strawberries and eating ice cream

Friday was a long day for me. Everyone woke up early, so I decided that we would go to Aldi after everyone ate Breakfast and dressed. After Breakfast and in between getting dressed my friend Miche called me to see if we wanted to go strawberry picking with them. I of course said yes and my thought was now I would go after we picked strawberries. We get to the strawberry farm and waited for Miche. She got a little lost so I helped her get back on track and when they got there and after feeding Spencer we were off picking strawberries. Porter Farms strawberries were much better than Smith's nursery and were a lot cheaper. Instead charging by the pound like Smith's they charge by the bucket ($8). Spencer slept through most of it until Sada decided she was done eating the strawberries and wanted to play with Spencer. She would take out his pacifier and he would cry so I would go over and put the pacifier in his mouth, meanwhile she has run off. But, as soon as I got Spencer calmed down and the pacifier back in his mouth and back in the car seat, here comes Sada out of nowhere. We did this little game several times until I just gave up and held Spencer until my friend was done picking. She then took all the kids bought them ice cream. Meanwhile during one of the games Sada took the Camera out of the Camera bag and was playing with it. While the kids were eating ice cream, I went finished picking two buckets and was off to make sure Sada still had my camera and pay for the strawberries. I paid for the strawberries and then went to ask Sada where the camera was. Her response, "I do'n know". So I go and ask the lady if anyone turned in a camera NOPE was the reply. So, off I was looking for this camera. Getting frustrated but not trying to show it especially to the kids. I look everywhere, up and down the rows, all around the farm, under the shelter, in the parking lot, in the plants, and under the plants. After an hour of searching I found it hidden nicely under one little strawberry plant. After finding the camera and settling down the kids ran around and I bought them some fresh limeade (so good). Spencer was getting hungry so I decided we needed to get in the car and go. I put the kids in and started to feed Spencer and went to start the car only to hear click, click, click, OH MY!!! I tell my friend Miche I need a jump and she moves her car in position so we can jump it. She is reading the directions on her jumper cables when a man comes over to help. Meanwhile I am still sitting in the car feeding Spencer. Miche tells the man she needs to turn off her can, the man says oh no don't worry. He puts on the cables when he puts the cables on my car it sparks, OH MY, then tells me to try to start my car....NOTHING. OH MY I think he has broken my car. The lady he was with had jumper cables and those worked thank goodness. I came straight home no Aldi. I had to clean the strawberries, make freezer jam and try to figure out what to do with the rest of them. Then I had to pack the car to go to my Mothers house. I think someone was really trying to test my patience. The Day was over and we made it safe and sound to my Mothers house. Which is another entry.
