I have 4 12 year olds again

Well I now have 4 12 year olds again. Trayton turned 12 I can't believe that my baby is 12. were does the time go it seams crazy I just brought him home from the hospital watched him change and grow into a great young man. Trayton got to go Hooters with his uncle Chris (is that right to let your 12 year old go to such an adult place?) He had a great time and he said the food was great. we had a good birthday he went to a movie with me and his dad. I just can't believe that my baby is turning into a young man.

Baseball

Baseball My boys love it. Trayton is getting so good at it he is hititng the ball. last year he couldn't hit the ball and had no confdence. this year he is hitting and having a great time.

Brodey is just learning as you can see he wants to be the catcher. he is playing t-ball. He is learning to catch the ball when he throws it up. Brodey and Trayton were outside playing Trayton was teaching Brodey to hit the ball and how to hold the ball it was so cute. Trayton was so good with him. It was great to see them get along for once.

I wish they would get along like that all the time.

The boys are hard working trying to make fence so the their cows wont get out. but don't forget to turn off the old fence before you touch it!!

just kiding there is always time to play around.

Trayton is making fence so his babies will have more grass. the fair is getting closer every day. we have so much work to do. walking, bathing, hair cuts and just getting them used to people being around them.

the pigs might be a little harder, he has to walk them with a whip and have them just walk around with him. Trayton has to watch the pigs and keep his eyes on the judge at all times. he is good and can do it if he works with them at home.

Trayton working hard so he can get good marks at the fair. Toad is loving haveing pigs and cows here again. I think toad would sleep with the cows and pigs if he john and I would let him.

The animals are all doing good and growing and getting ready for the fair.

wish trayton luck!

up date

Looking back it has been a while since I have up dated my family. The school year is coming to an end and the big kids are ready to have the summer. I am ready for the summer too but the summer allways goes so fast and I am back to school before you know it.
the kids are all doing good. trayton is getting this animals ready for the fair. he is going to show two jersey Fred and Shaggy. they are doing good. just about done with the bottle that makes me happy I am tired of all the milk replacer on my counter tops. Trayton's pigs are doing good. getting so big we are going to have to hand feed them before to long. they can't be over 290 I think the big pig is pushing 200lbs he will have to start walking a way the pounds with me.
Danielle is trying to figure out how to be 12 she is too big to play with toys and not yet big enough to hang with the big girls. School is going very good for her is tries hard and wants to do good things in life.
William is still struggling with math but brought it up enough to go on the field trip today. so we know he can do it just wanting to do it is another story.
Cheyenne still thinks she all big and bad and can beat up everyone that gets in her way. when is she going to be a girl?
toad is doing great. can't believe how much he is reading and writing Kdg is going to be great for him next year he will be so ready for the 1st grade. the question is will i be ready the 1st grade?
John is doing very well he quit smoking 2 months ago I am so proud of him. it was hard work and still is but he is doing great. I love to kiss him now his breath is so nice.
Me I'm still trying to loose the weight I have lost 35 pounds and 7 inches off my waist so it is coming off it just takes a little bit of time.
so we are all good just waiting for the summer and warm weather and the great out doors.
until next time have a great day

fell of the wagon

I just wanted to up date you all on my status with the weight loss. I am sitting at 30 lbs still trying to hit my goal weight but am having a little trouble. I need my motivation back! Today is the day that I will eat my small meals and fruit stay out of the lounge at work. and eat more fish. I will continue to do my walking. I will keep telling myself that it is all worth it. I will get into the pants that I have been waiting to get into for a long time. I will do it again.

I will need help I will need the positive rewards so I keep going. I just need to it again.

Today is the day I will do it and I will!!

sick kids

what do you do with the boo hoo baby? that is what I ask myself when I have a sick kid. you know they act like they are dying and need to be waited on hand and foot. they need to have their needs met before anything else is done. well when you have 5 children and one is sick it makes it hard to get things done and take care of them.
I would have to say that this school year I have been very lucky, I haven't had to miss much work or deal with to many sick kids. we had strep throat so I had to take Willie to the doctor. but other then that they all have been pretty healthly.
we were so lucky that no one else got it even after toad got home and took a big drink out of willies drink.
Toad was outside playing yesterday it was nice and he is the type of kid that would live outside if he could. When he came in and said he wanted to rest I knew something was wrong. at supper he wouldn't eat then went and laid down. I checked his temp 102.0 he took some meds and was out like a light. there was no waking him up. at 11pm it was 101.8 and at 3 it was 100. so we went down this morning it is 99.9 so hopefully we are on a mend. He is now watching a movie which he never does that he is playing farm or outside riding his bike so maybe we still have some mending to do. wish me luck with the sick toad!

triplets birthday

Willie not quite sure what he is doing waiting for his cake and ice cream or just wanting the spot light off of him not used to have it all due to him having to share everything being a triplet and all!

the big 12 year old I can't believe how time has go so fast I met them when they were four. when playing outside was the only things important for them now have the mp3 players and computers and name brand clothes.

Chey helping me frost the cake or should I say getting into trouble! she wanted a little frosting to eat a little piece of cake. I thought she wanted to lick the spoon and I missed her mouth. Well she cleaned it off and ate it. so she had her cake and frosting too!

They had a great birthday family came to spend the day with them and help celebrate their last year before they are teenagers. I can't believe how much they have changed and are growing up so fast.

so I have 3 down and one to go and I will have 4 12 year old please help me keep me my marbles I am sure I will lose them with all the changes they are about to go through. may be they will do one at a time but why would they start that now they haven't done anything by themselves yet.

Happy Birthday to my babies
