My Valentine's Day

Well this is just an update on our lives. Yesterday Cameron woke up feeling very sick and got worse as the day went on. Thursday I had a doctor apt. So Renita Hoblit kept the older two while I went to that. when I got back to her house at two or so I discovered that Pierce had almost 103 degrees temp. so I called from Renita's house to get an appointment which was at four thirty later that afternoon. Then Morgen decided that she had to eat NOW! So we stayed there for another twenty min. to feed her. Neither one of the children had, had naps so they fell asleep on the way home. By the time we got home they only got to sleep for about forty five minutes before we had to leave. They are never very happy when they get woke up before they are ready. I dropped Shakira off at Cam's Aunt Charlene's house and off we went to the doctor for the second time that day. SHOCK! He had an ear infection. He gets them every month to month and a half.Generally he never complains about them. One time his eardrum busted before I even knew they were infected. He woke up screaming and we thought he was just having a nit terror, cause he had had one the nite before and generally when he has one he has a second one, but the next morning there was blood on the out side of his ear. I felt terrible for not catching it. Does anyone elses kid just charge on like normal when they are sick? Cause most of the time I have to happen to feel thier forheads to even know they have a fever. So any way my whole day was completely shot and I needed to get about one hundred bean bags done before Friday nite.I did get them done by the way. Wednesday was spent recovering from my activities on Tuesday. I took all three kids to go grocery shopping and about four other stops. I was ready to drop the older two off at the nearest orphanage by the time the day was done. Morgen was an angel the whole five or more hours we were gone. I want my mother-in-law back!!!!!! She by the way is in California with my newest niece and is coming home the twenty-first, Alleluia! Monday, which was never good any way, was not very productive. So really I got nothing done all week and now i am wishing I would not have wrote this cause now I am getting a Little upset about not accomplishing much. Anyways back to my Valentine's day. On Thursday when I went to Renitas to pick up the kids she mentioned that her and Aaron Were not going to get to go to a party on Saturday nite that they were really looking forward to because they did not have a babysitter. So I volunteered Cameron and I 's services as babysitters so they could go to the party. They have five children so there would be a total of eight children so we just decided that it would be easier to do it at their house since we have a 14 by 70 trailer. So any way you can probably guess who ended up babysitting by their self since their husband was sick, and he really was,I know cause I took his temp. I was pretty confident that it would be fine by myself though so we did not cancel. Mostly I just wanted to prove to my self that I could do it. It did go very well, thanks to their older daughter Bronwyn. She helped me find pjs and all the other thing the younger children needed. The youngest two are pretty much the same age as my oldest two so they played together well. Deitrich kept telling me that he really liked "that baby"(morgen) and Pierce would say "That's my baby!" Aaron and Renita got home around eleven forty- five. I was able to get all their children to bed by ten and cam came and got Pierce and Shakira at about nine cause Morgen was screaming her head off and I was not being able to get my two to bed. It really was alot of fun and I was glad to be able to pay Renita back for all the times she has helped me out with my kids. Shakira woke up this morning with 101 degrees so we decided not to go to church. Hopefully we will be there next week. Well that's all I have to say.

The Three Phases of Pierce's Hair Cut


About a month ago.














I was wanting to give him a bowl cut and I think that I was successful but then I saw something that I needed to fix. So I tried to fix it, but then he jerked bad, so..............................















we ended up with this. I was so upset cause I had been growing out his hair for the cut I had given him in the above picture. Guess I'll have to wait a couple of months.

This is my baby sister! Another one! Now I have 3 of them.
I guess the only way I'll get brothers is for them to marry my sisters. An easy way to identify the members of my family is that we have all been born with next to no hair. Although with Morgen having all the hair she has I am starting to think that it is a blessing. It gets dirty so fast and is hard to get the cradle cap out of.She was born vaginally and I'm pretty sure "The Natural Way!" with out all the losing control stuff, and morphine though
I'm pretty sure, cause they knew what was coming! Please refer to an earlier post to know what I am talking about. Also for those who did not know I have an older little sister that is about 14 months old her name is Serena Joy. Daddy And Mom had her at home not knowing that the placenta had started to malfunction and that Serena was in very bad shape. Her shoulders got stuck and they had to pull her out and when she was born she was a very dark purple. to make a long story short and because I almost cry when I think about it we almost lost her and mom, due to excessive bleeding, and Serena was in the hospital for several weeks. So we were a little scared when we heard that this little one was on the way. We praise the Lord for safe delivery and that Mom is alright.
