I have to share with you some of Ethan's antics on Friday.
I was working downstairs and I heard the CMS walking by, they take groups and walk to area resturants on some Fridays. Ethan hears them and said he was going to check out the noise. He goes upstairs and I hear what sounded like a group of them start laughing .....real loud, I thought to myself, I hope they aren;t laughing or picking on Ethan, then never heard another thing from him so I assumed it was something else and he didn't need me to go beat anybody up on his behalf. a few minutes later he comes downstairs and said, "did you hear the kids laughing?"I said "Yeah, what were they laughing at?!" He said "they seen me looking out he window (BIG PICTURE WINDOW) and I did this to them", he takes his right fist and slaps it into his flat left palm 3 times, he said "They started laughing and pointed at me and so I did this", he then makes a fist and punches it forward, he said they started laughing again.......later I told Gary and he asked Ethan what he would have done if the kids would have started for him, Ethan said "I would have used my Karate moves, I got some real good Karate moves!" And I was worried about HIM......
We also were having problems with our drains and while waiting on the city to come fix them I took a shower. While I was in the shower ethan, who is a CHICKEN, decided he needed to "Go" so he sat on the toilet. Pretty soon the drains were getting full from my shower and the toilet starts bubbling, Ethan starts whining "Mommy Hurry Up!!" by the time I was done drying off and looked out the curtain, there was Ethan he had gotten off the toilet and was standing there looking at hte toilet like it was coming to life, about the time I got the curtain back, the toilet makes one last gurgly slurpy noise, Ethan about jumped in the sink.....It was so funny. I guess you had to be there, I ended up having to give him a shower as you can imagine....

Wish I could....
but, common sense prevails. I sure have an interesting blog, this has been one day! I could make you laugh, make you thankful and if your at all sympathetic, you might say a prayer for me....but, I won't. It is to deeply personal, girl talk, humiliating & humbling to share, unlike some people *coughFaceBookcough*, I realize the internet is not a place to discuss everything that happens in your life!
On a way more serious note, I was in a place today and over heard the most heartbreaking story. This summer a 6 yr old boy died in a drowning accident. ( story Below)
http://www.fox59.com/news/wxin-connersville-boy-drowns-in-white-river-20110710,0,2720458.story?track=rss
His mother was in the place I was at, it was heartbreaking. She was sobbing and a lady was asking her if she was okay and she just poured out this story. She said their ac was broke and it was so hot, the kids were begging to go swimming so she let them go swimming in the River. She said she had never let him go off without her before. I don't know what or how it happened. Obviously, I don't know only God knows what happened but, if you all would remember this mother in your prayers and this little boys sister. I can't imagine the guilt and the hurt they are living with. It was just heartbreaking to see her. I wanted to go to her and put my arms around her and hold her and pray for her, I don't even know if I could have gotten words out, I just wanted to cry with her and for her loss, she was emotionally.... just raw is the only way I could describe it. Please just pray for her and the 10 yr old sister who was with him.
Kiss those you love tonight, and say an extra prayer of Thanks for another day, another precious gift of Life.

John 6:27
For the Father himself loveth you.....
It's nice to be told we are loved. There are many times I doubt the love of others for myself, sometimes, and maybe this is awful to admit, but I doubt even God's love. See I know in my heart He loves me, but Satan likes to tell my head it's not so, I guess that is his job, to make us doubt even the most simple truths. He uses my own insecurities, or my own failures, my heart breaks, my disappointments with Life or people, anything he can to make me doubt the Father's love. He, God has whispered to my soul, has proven it time and again, and then tonight I found this....written! Sure I've read it before but this time He impressed it on my heart. I wasn't even looking for it, I was actually looking at verse 33, so it's like I found a love note from Gary, or one of those unexpected kisses from the kids, except this one is from the God of the universe, who created the very air I breath......He loves me.

September 11
Glory Baby, you slipped away as fast as we could say Baby, Baby
You were growing, what happened dear, you disappeared on us Baby, Baby
Heaven will hold you, before I do.
Heaven will keep you safe until we're Home with you, Until we're Home with you.
We miss you every day, we miss you in every way
But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you
and you'll Kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay
I can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you
So Baby, Let sweet Jesus hold you till mom and dad can hold you
You'll just have Heaven before we do, Oh, you'll just have Heaven before we do
Sweet Little babies, it's hard to understand it cause we're hurting
We are hurting
But there is healing, and we know we're stronger people
through the growing and in knowing
That all things work together for our good and God works His promises
just like He said He would, Just like He said He would
I can't imagine Heaven's lullabies and what they must sound like
But I can rest in knowing, Heaven is your Home and it's all you"ll ever know
It's all you'll ever know
To those that have lost a child long before you were ready to let go, to those who have never been called "Mom", to those that never got to hold your "Glory Baby", May God give you comfort in knowing He is holding them for us.
To those that have never lost a child, may you find compassion in your heart for those that have, and may you treasure each day with you child for what it is, a miracle.

Tre`
Today I took Tre` shopping he has finally grown into Men's shoes. So we had to go shopping, he was happy to be out of kids, I wasn't happy about it. At all. It means more money. lol!
So we ended up going alone cause Gary was working on the bathroom and the other 3 didn't want to shop unless they were getting something too, so they stayed home. ;)
Tre` talked my leg off on the drive to Richmond and back, which was nice. He really has become a quiet little guy most of the time. So I enjoyed the 3 hrs we spent together. After shopping we went to Chipotle and drove to a park to eat, where we were grossed out by an awful smell and chased back to the van by bees.....We finished eating on the drive home.
I have to say, I hate to see them get older, and grow up, after all it means they will be leaving me soon, but I listen with bittersweet emotions to the big dreams they have for their future. I guess Rascal Flatts put it into words better than I ever could in "My Wish".
My Wish for you, is that this Life becomes all that you want
That your dreams stay big, Your worries stay small
You never have to carry more than you can hold
While your out there getting where your going to I hope you know
Somebody loves you and wants the same things too, Yea this, is my Wish
FYI- I sang this in a wedding once, Just in case your wondering how I know a country artist song ;) lol!

Miss me yet?
I really would blog more about my interesting life, like about my vacations, new house, new job, my new yacht, my latest shopping spree.....but....I can't make up interesting stories just for my followers so you'll have to be content with my kind of interesting.
I mean living with 4 kids, a husband , your MIL, and a Dog, could life be any more interesting?! There is always something going on! Ethan has a daily ritual of spilling something at least once, why I am not 130lbs, I don't know....never mind I do know, I drink Dr. Pepper like an pop-oholic it helps calm me.... lol!
This week Millie is on vacation, which I am sure she needs after all this interesting! So I am dog sitting this week. So the dog cries when I hold Ethan and play with him, and then tonight Ethan cried cause I was holding the dog....I had to laugh.
Ethan has started getting upset when I tell the things he said, esp cause I tell Garrett's mom and it embarrasses him when Garrett mentions it to him. I didn't realize it was a big deal till Sunday night, we were eating and Ethan & Garrett were sitting together and Ethan is all teary eyed and I asked what was wrong and he said "You tell everything!" I was lost, till they filled me in. So from now on, no telling the stories you read on here ;)
Today when we dropped Cayden off at school, Ethan yells to him "GOOD LUCK KISSIN' 'TORIA TODAY!" Poor Cayden he shuts the door as fast as he could and takes off.
Saturday, we went to Brookeville, it was the last weekend of Summer and we knew we had church on Sunday picnic on Monday so we enjoyed the one day of our weekend as a family day! It was very nice.
Monday we had a church picnic, here are some picture for you, it was so cold I didn't take many but it was a fun time for all of us.
Then we came home, visited with Jeremy & Lyndsey and Kensy for a bit, Ordered Pizza, ate and went to bed. See now don't you wish your life could be so interesting ;)
I can see it is WAAY past my bedtime as it is 12:50am! I like to be in bed by 9. haha! That isn't a joke, I don't know why I am laughing. I am getting old! Anyways, I love my interesting life even if it isn't what most people would call interesting, and I will never have a reality show based on it. It's just good clean living and i love it! Night all!
