Almost Crazy

I think my kids are determined to drive me crazy. Maybe it is just me trying to do it all by myself. I know my sister is doing it and has done a great job. But I feel I am going to scream almost every day. There is always something. I love them very much. I can only imagine how my mom felt with 4 girls in the house.

This weekend was another crazy one. I was sick until Saturday. Still worked on Jacob's room. Which he in now in and loving. Not much to see in the picture but I'm sure as time goes by it will get better. I told him he had to wait a few weeks to put things on his walls.

Kaylin's room is all but finished she is liking it but she is lonely upstairs by herself. Ok I have the pics backward. That's me. Have a good night.

Almost Healthy again

What a week it has been. It starts out with Jacob getting sick and had to come home from school on Monday. Tuesday evening Kaylin starts to get sick. Wednesday she has a fever and can't go to school and Jacob still isn't feeling good. Thursday they both go to school and I head to work, get to work and have to leave as soon as I get there because I know have what the kids have. David has been gone all week because of work. Kaylin has missed soccer games and practices and Jacob has missed Boy Scouts. I sure hope that this week coming up will be better.
I am concerned about my brother-in-laws that are in Texas at this time. Hurricane Ike is on the hunt for some damage to do. I pray that everything will be fine. Even as it moves up thur Arkansas and on north.
I almost have Kaylin's room finished. We went tonight to get some things to finish up. She still needs curtains and bedding. She is wanting to design it herself. It is very hard getting her to make up her mind. She and I do not see things the same. I know what she chooses will look great. It's just me letting go of something and letting her do it.

Well that is all for now. Be back soon.

What a Life

Ok, lets see since the last time I have blogged, soccer has started, school is in and all is right with the world once again.

I have been very busy since soccer has started. Kaylin is doing very well. She has played 3 Varsity games. She is on the Junior Varsity team. We are very proud of her. High school seems to be going ok for her. She is still not real sure about it but she is going to do great.

Jacob has gotten his braces on. His teeth has already started to move. They are looking very good. He is doing very well in school. 6th grade seems to be ok for him. At the moment him and Kaylin are both alittle sick. Just mostly sinuses. It is that time of year in WV. He is always doing something. Riding his bike or just playing outside. He's a good kid. He now has to go to a sitters three days aweek. He gets out of school before I get off work. He is adjusting to it. I'm sure it will be just a thing he does soon.

David is out of town now for a while. He will be working in Berkley Springs, WV and also in Fredrick, MD. He is working hard and gets to all of Kaylin's games. He doesn't have a lot of time for anything eles right now.

As for me, I have been painting Kaylin's room. It has been 10 years since I have painted. So I thought it was about time. This is just alittle into the project. The closet door is now zebra print. I'll post more pics as it comes along. Jacob has now decided that is room is too little and wants to live in the basement. So I guess that is where he will be by the weekend. They keep me busy. But I love it.

Well it is off to work tomorrow. It's been a nice break. But ready to get back. TTUS.

It's been a While

Well I'm back. It has been a while since I've been on here. I have been back to work and working hard. More than normal. It is that time of year when everyone wants braces on before school starts. So it is extra time in the office for me.
Kaylin has started soccer with EFHS. She had her first scrimage game. The WON!! It was great. I love watching her play. She did a great job. She will find out on Monday, Aug. 18th if she gets on Varsity or Junior Varsity. She hopes for Varsity but I hope for Junior Varsity. Just so she can study like she needs to. She is ready to get the first few days over with. So she knows what her routine will be. She is really growing up on me. She has decided that her room is not grown up enough for her. I realize it isn't very grown up but she isn't suppose to be a FRESHMEN in High School. :(
Jacob is still loving Boy Scouts. He rides his bike all the time. He camps out in the backyard. He feels so much better than he has. His medicine is helping him so much. He wants to go out and play all the time now. I love it.
David is still working out of town. He should be home every night this week. But then for the next month he will be out of town working. It sometimes gets hard doing it all by myself but he loves his job.
We all have our braces on now. So we got a few pictures taken. Will have to post them later. Not on my computer. Using David's right now.
Not much eles is happening. Be Back Soon. Kary

Camp has come and gone :(

Hello to all,

Well we survived another year of Church Camp. What a week. It was alot of fun. We spent time with friends that we only see once a year. And then can't wait to go back to spend more time with them. It is such a great place to be. The kids are awesome and the staff is wonderful.

It started off ok. Our Dean of Women got sick on Sunday evening and had to go home on Monday afternoon. Then a few days later the girls started to get sick. We had to send them home. A few days after that a few boys got sick and had to go home. It was about 6 to 8 kids altogether. The rest of the kids were fine and had a great time. This is my group. My cocounselor was Quintin Jones. Good boy. Let's see can I remember my kids. Connor, Talon, Chase, Thomas, Forrest, Callie, Erija, Michaela, Mckenzie and Sha (she is not in the picture, who knows where she was). They were a good group. They rocked in sports.

Kaylin was there as Kitchen Help but she also had time to spend with some of the staff.

Here she is with Quintin and Sha Jones. This is were she was most of the week. :)

Jacob had a good time also. He was a camper. This is his last year as a camper Junior week. I no longer have a kid young enough to go Junior week. :( What can I say I'm growing up. I did turn another year older at camp. I am now 24 with 15 years experience at it. But the kids make me feel young.

We got home on Aug. 2nd (my birthday) and didn't do much for the next two days. We were very tired. But we are feeling better now. I'm back to work and Kaylin has started back to soccer practice and Jacob got his braces on today. So now we all have braces on. Expect a picture in a few months of all of us.

Oh yea, Kaylin and I received an award at camp. It was the Directors Award. It is a very prestegist award. We feel very Honored.

Well til the next time.

Off to Camp for a week

Well here we go. Another week @ Church Camp. We are very excited. It is always a fun time for all of us. We have been packing for a week now. I hope I have it done. I will be going down to pick Kaylin up tonight. Very excited to see her. I've missed her. Well I will try to blog later. Have a great week.

She's at Camp

Today we took Kaylin to camp. She is having a GREAT time already. I will miss her so much. But it is a good time to spend with Jacob. This is a rare time. I had my week with Kaylin while he was at Boy Scout Camp and now it is his turn. It is always good to spend time with them one on one. Catch up on what he is up to and what he is wanting to do. I don't get to see them as much as I could before I was working. So I'm going to try harder to be there when the chance comes.
I am off to work tomorrow. I don't usually work on Monday's but this week we work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then off for another 12days. I will head to Church camp on Sunday. Can't wait. It is always fun.
Ok I'm too distracted to type any more. TTUL
