But all kids usually do this. My kids are no exception to this, they have had their turn of embarrassment with this issue. <br />
<br />
Logan found a screw from a computer and shoved it up his nose. Fortunately, we were able to use some tweezers to pull that out and all was well. <br />
<br />
Caylea, on the other hand, was not that lucky, her experience was a little more traumatic. <br />
<br />
Caylea was about 4 years old and just cute as a....... button. HA HA HA :)<br />
We were all at home just relaxing in the living room watching TV. I heard Caylea blowing her nose in the other room. Nothing wrong with that, right? Then she continued to blow her nose... and continued... and continued. I asked "Caylea, what are you doing?", she says "Nothing!" as she ran from my room into the front bathroom. I said "Caylea, come here, what are you doing?" She came out of the bathroom and there was blood running down from her nose and she was completely freaking out and then I freaked out as well! We ran to her and asked her what happened. After some time she admitted to shoving a button up her nose. <br />
<br />
These are the events leading to the incident as far as I can piece together. She was walking along and saw a button on the couch (it had come off a pair of pants). She saw said button and thought to herself "Hey it would be cool to stick this in my nose and make myself look like a hippo" (literally she admitted to this, you know hippos have big nostrils). So she got the button in her nose and I am assuming was very pleased with her hippo looking nostril. But then it was not so fun because the button was stuck...... very stuck. So the only thing the 4 year old knew to do was to try and dig it out. She succeeded to shove the button very far into her nose and this made it bleed and caused lots of PANIC! By the time we found out, it was so far up in her nose, we couldn't reach it at all. <br />
<br />
We all loaded up in the car and headed to the ER and wondered how we would explain this to the doctor. I am sure the doctor got a giggle out of our situation. He kindly got some very large tweezers and got the button out in no time. Thank goodness! <br />
<br />
Having twins has its advantages! Brianna saw this traumatic event and she NEVER shoved anything up her nose! <br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I never know what will be next with three dogs, one cat, 10 year old twin girls and one teenage son. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you know me very well, you know that I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and to my children I am sure that sometimes this is frustrating. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My teenage son, Logan, is in full force summer mode. He sleeps a lot, stays up late, and hangs out with friends almost every day. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One day, this past week, he was taking a shower about, hmmm, I believe it was 8:00 pm. When he came out of the bathroom in his boxers, he asked me "Mom, where are some of my pants?" Well, I guess Mom is in summer mode too because I had no clue where his clean pants were. Why would he need pants, it's summer, isn't he living in his PJ's? So, I told him "I have no idea where your pants are, I haven't worn them". This is my response most of the time to "where is this, or where is that". Then I told him "Just go naked". The girls and I found this extremely entertaining and just laughed and laughed. :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, he didn't appreciate this response and just sighed at me, sat down at the computer and didn't say a word. About 15 minutes passed, and out of the blue, Logan says "Mom are you serious about my pants?" At this point the girls and I broke out into full laughter. It was hilarious. Then Logan says "It really isn't funny, I wanted to go hang out with friends and I need pants". We then laughed so hard that we cried! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, I am not sure why Logan's misfortune was so funny to the females in the house, but it was the funniest thing! Poor Logan, he has to deal with three girls, he really does put up with a lot! He deals with it very well. :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But just to ease your mind, I found his pants and he went to hang out with friends. :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes my kids make me want to pull my hair out and I am sure sometimes I make them want to pull theirs out too. But we all love each other so much. They are hilarious and make me smile every day. What a blessing! </div>

<br />
My world was turned completely upside down, shuffled up and then put back down. <br />
<br />
Divorce is horrible, ugly thing. It not only effects the two people getting divorced, but also kids, grandparents, friends..... the list goes on and on. My divorce was final in March and from about July to March it was a whirlwind of emotions. There were sad times, mad times, crazy times and confused times. When you are married to someone for 17 years and they are all you know, it is almost impossible to imagine your life without them. But sometimes..... there just isn't any way to fix a situation. The only thing you can do is move on and pick up the pieces. <br />
<br />
I have learned so much since this time last year. I have learned that my family is there for me through everything. They always have been there and always will be. I am so extremely blessed. I have learned who my true friends are and who aren't. I am also blessed with several true best friends. I have learned how to stay strong in a bad situation and hold it together when you really really don't want to. I have learned that my kids are stronger than I am and they love me so much. They support me every day and make me smile even when it is hard to. They are the most awesome people on the planet! <br />
<br />
When I thought that all was lost these are the things that got me through. My kids, my family, my true friends, and most importantly my faith. Throughout this whole thing, my faith has grown by huge leaps and bounds. I came to realize that no matter what was going on in my life, God has blessed me and continues to bless me every day. I have three wonderful kids, a huge supportive family, great friends, a great job, health..... the list goes on and on. How can I complain that things didn't go exactly the way I planned? I am not the one in charge, God is! He has a plan for me that is far better than anything that I could come up with for sure! <br />
<br />
So I have decided to pay attention to the important things. The "small" things in life that are really the BIG things. The joy I get when singing very LOUDLY to music with my girls in the car, taking Logan to a movie, laughing, acting completely goofy and joking with my kids, seeing a beautiful sky that God has created for us, enjoying time with my parents, laughing so hard with my friends until my stomach hurts..... again, I could go on and on with examples like these. I also realized I needed to thank God every day for all of the blessings he has given me because I am blessed beyond measure! <br />
<br />
So yes, my life was flipped and shaken up, but maybe, just maybe it was flipped the RIGHT way. God has great things in store for me. :) <br />
<br />
A friend of mine sent me this scripture, it is great and I need to read this every day! <br />

It is such a great place to go. It is a restaurant by Jimmy Buffet's sister. You eat outside and there are sandy places for the kids to play and all that. The gift shop of course is a favorite of mine. I could shop there all day long. But the guys eventually make the women leave. LOL I got the chicken tacos, they were pretty good. My favorite thing was our fried green tomatoes appetizer, yummy stuff. They had this awesome dipping sauce for it that was delicious! If you are ever in Gulf Shores, you should try Lulu's but make sure you go before 4 because the wait at night time is crazy. The first year we learned that by going at night and they told us it would be a three hour wait. So go early! :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-15310503083500453252009-08-08T06:43:00.000-05:002009-08-08T06:47:15.933-05:00My Favorite Beach Shot<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/Sn1lvVGX3JI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Pe4evw_xa-c/s1600-h/DSC_0013_4.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/Sn1lvVGX3JI/AAAAAAAAAF4/Pe4evw_xa-c/s320/DSC_0013_4.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367558194687630482" /></a><br />This is my favorite picture to take of the girls on the beach.

You eat outside and it is nice with the breeze. You sit on these really tall chairs. We waited on a table outside for about 30 minutes or so, it wasn't too bad. As we were leaving it starting pouring down rain. But we made it to the car and back to the condo. Billy went down to try out the sauna. I went there for a few minutes, but I just don't think it is my bag, baby! :) Larry Jess and Deborah went down to the gym. I am just chillin' in the room with the kiddos. Thinking about going to bed soon and getting up early and looking for shells on the beach. Oh yeah, and the souvenir shop there had the best jewelry I have seen so far. So yeah, I spend too much money! Not news to anyone.

My mom has always wanted to see one, and we didn't realize there was one right down the road from where we were. It wasn't open to go in, it is only open to the public on Saturdays. My mom doesn't like heights so she didn't want to go up in it anyways. It was a pretty place with a house by it. The papers said it is haunted too! At night, they tell ghost stories and such when you go in it. Anyways, we walked around it and took pictures. It was a nice place. This is a picture of the girls and my mom with the lighthouse.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-80616865860593669062009-08-05T20:52:00.006-05:002009-08-05T20:58:07.167-05:00Pensacola Aviation Museum<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/Sno4X8tFDJI/AAAAAAAAAFg/PYOF3rCtp0o/s1600-h/DSC_0007_3.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/Sno4X8tFDJI/AAAAAAAAAFg/PYOF3rCtp0o/s320/DSC_0007_3.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366663890048715922" /></a><br />We went to the Pensacola Aviation Museum. Of course, Billy absolutely loved it and probably could have stayed there all day! This picture is of the kids on an anchor outside of the museum. They all loved it. There was a play area for the little kids. Also there were lots of planes they had set up to take the kids pictures in. They had a gift shop and an IMax theater. We all went and watched The Magic of Flight, which was about the Blue Angels. It was a great museum.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-55005136093704932692009-08-04T18:07:00.012-05:002009-08-04T18:28:42.569-05:00Return of the Jelly fish<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/SnjAKmJl5iI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/dI6v7QBIz1w/s1600-h/DSC_0049.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/SnjAKmJl5iI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/dI6v7QBIz1w/s200/DSC_0049.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366250244283950626" /></a><br />The jellyfish returned today! The kids were not too happy about it. They caught a few and then tested them out by touching them underneath and they didn't sting them. We are not sure what kind they are and if they really hurt of not. They don't seem to hurt, but we may be wrong. So, they decided it would be okay to go out into the water. They played on their boards and threw around a ball Logan got that doesn't sink that is made to play in water. They had so much fun. The boys have been out there twice today, and are ready to go back out now. :) We are getting ready to eat some pizza here in the room and then going to play some putt putt golf. So, there will be more pictures later! :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-31724793200095692632009-08-04T18:02:00.003-05:002009-08-04T18:07:48.010-05:00Beach fun Day 3<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/Sni_GD8CDII/AAAAAAAAAFI/jhlQWnQxmdA/s1600-h/DSC_0075.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/Sni_GD8CDII/AAAAAAAAAFI/jhlQWnQxmdA/s320/DSC_0075.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366249066869165186" /></a><br />Today, the girls got a little braver about getting in and playing in the water! They would get close to the waves and then run away whenever it would get closer. Caylea got brave and walked with me a little closer and she fell in the wave and loved it! It was hilarious. Me and Deborah went this morning and got us some beach chairs that sit low to the ground and we loved sitting in them. So we got some sun today, but I don't think anyone has gotten burnt yet!

Caylea's favorite thing to do this year is to try and catch shells in a net. Brianna loves to play in the sand. Logan loves to boogey board. That is all he did the whole time. I got out in the water and it is pretty cold! We tried to take the girls out there and they screamed the whole time and wanted back on shore. Luckily, so far, there are no jellyfish this year, they were really bad last year. <div><br /></div><div>The girls were having a cow to go swim in the pool so we went and did that before we came back to the room. They loved it, it wasn't very deep and they could walk around it a lot. Now we have all gotten showers and had lunch. Now trying to decide what to do now. There is so much to choose from! :) We may go shopping, or play putt putt golf. Right now the kids are stressing wanting to know what we are going to do. The guys just walked down to the beach to check out the banana boats and the Sea and Suds place down the way. Having a great time. I will have more pictures tonight! </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-71418963720641518212009-08-03T09:24:00.000-05:002009-08-03T09:26:10.947-05:00Beach fun<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/SnbzgpmFwUI/AAAAAAAAAEg/XC_5eU3Hnzg/s1600-h/photo-770948.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MNmqt4K-BuU/SnbzgpmFwUI/AAAAAAAAAEg/XC_5eU3Hnzg/s320/photo-770948.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365743748305502530" /></a></p>We finally made it to the beach after breakfast, getting dressed, and <br>sunscreen.

The <br>girls put their feet in and played and played. It was so cute. I got <br>some great pics I will try to post later this week.<p>The women went to Walmart to stock up on food. It was a crazy place! <br>Everyone on vacation was there I think. It took a very long time and <br>the kids were at the condo crying for food. Lol. But we got a lot of <br>food. The kids got their food and were happy. :)<p>We are now snuggled in the bed trying to get some sleep!

The kids <br>feed the seagulls that hang out there. I am sure the locals love that. <br>They know when we get there we are almost there.<br>Soon there will be singing of song they "made up" of a combination of <br>'final countdown' and the song that weird guy on American Idol sang <br>with the feather hat. They modified it to say "you are my brother/ <br>sister, best friend forever". Lol. They always sing before we get to <br>somewhere on vacation.

We took some <br>pictures and had a potty stop. The kids were super excited about going <br>over the big bridge.<p>I think that place had the most powerful toilets known to man. Me and <br>the girls were standing as far away as we could from it when it <br>flushed so as not to get toilet water on us. I hope we succeeded but <br>no promises. :)<p>We all got a refill on caffeine and on our way again.

We met at the ice machine and got ice for the coolers and headed out for the beach. <div><br /><div>After driving for an hour, we stopped in Homer, LA and ate breakfast at Mickey D's. The girls already started arguing. I heard some "don't copy me and don't look at me" LOL They were finally happy when they got their pancakes and milk. They looked so mad it was funny. Zander made a face plant onto the floor from a tall chair. Syrup and trash went flying everywhere. Luckily, he got up with a smile on his face. My mom's new shoes apparantly are slick on the bottom and I had to hold on to her as she walked around so she didn't fall down. It was hilarious and I had a lot of fun with it. I may or may not have said things like "come on Maw" and "I got ya"! <div><br /></div><div>The McDonalds had a lot to be desired. The woman who checked us out, was also the person who cooked our food. I think one person worked there total. I ordered a large drink and got a McCafe cup which does look pretty cool but weird, must have been outta large cups. I think that they had the worst diet coke I have ever tasted in my entire life. The worst diet coke on the planet!!! So we are on our way again now, me with my clear McCafe cup filled with a Diet Coke out of the cooler. </div><div><br /></div><div>We have our caravan of three cars, headed to the beach, we are all excited!!! And of course I have already heard "are we there yet?"</div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-64668754303954736352009-06-23T09:30:00.000-05:002009-06-23T09:41:31.114-05:00Never a good sign........ ;)I asked my son this morning when was the last time he had a shower, there was a long pause. A really, really long pause. Actually I don't think I ever got an answer from him. That is never a good sign. When you ask a question like that and there is a pause, it just isn't a good sign. I don't think I want to know anymore! LOL<div><br /></div><div>It is fun to tease the kids and entertain myself at the same time. This morning I decided when I woke them up I would call them something other than their name, just for fun. I thought I would use the names from the "That's Not My Name" song by the Ting Tings. So Caylea was Jo Lisa, and Brianna was Mary and Logan was Stacey. The rule of the game, which they didn't know, was as soon as they said "that's not my name" their name went back to normal. (I know, I am entertained easily.) </div><div><br /></div><div>Caylea dealt with it for a while, then as she was getting dressed for Mamaw's house, she looked at me and said "that's not my name". She won! Then we have Brianna, she starting getting angry at me. Ha! That makes it more fun. There were "stop that", "quit", "don't call me that", etc. Finally I told her what she had to say and she is sooo stubborn that she wouldn't say "that's not my name". So I told her that I was going to call her Mary till she said it. It took a while but finally she became Brianna again. But she was NOT happy about it at all. She was all to happy thought to call Logan, Stacey. Logan, last to wake up, woke up to us calling him Stacey. He says "where did that come from?" and acted really confused. (which was freakin' hilarious) He then ignored me and it wasn't any fun, so I gave up. It was a fun game, I thought! </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606570157421657384.post-75939935561755220362009-06-22T23:25:00.000-05:002009-06-22T23:35:55.599-05:00Trying this Blog Thing out!I am new to the Blogging world, I am going to give it a try! It seems fun. We shall see. :) <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>IPhone 3GS! </div><div><br /></div><div>Friday I went to Eldorado and got me and Billy both a new iPhone 3gs. They are a lot better and work much better than our first generation iphones. It has the video camera option, voice recording, texting horizontally, copy/paste, text forwarding, and is much faster. I seem to get better service too. So I think it was a great purchase. Of course we love technology and couldn't stand it that we didn't have the newest one. I would recommend the iPhone, it would be hard for me to do without mine. I could, I would just whine a lot about it. ;) Also got a super cool iFrogz luxe case for it, of course, it is PINK! </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14579543727005507707noreply@blogger.com0
