Spring... Natures Way Of Saying, "Let's Party!"

on Thursday, March 26, 2009

Time to shed those winter blahs and get out side and enjoy the sunshine and flowers! We have lots of things blooming around the house - I haven't even taken pictures of yet.

I'm trying to shed my blahs right now. Spring has brought me some news that I'm still not sure how I feel about yet. Is there a word that means sad and glad? Slad? I'm slad.

Hope all of you are enjoying our spring! Hopefully the ice storms are gone and the cold weather will be leaving soon and we can enjoy the greenery!
I am going to be working on my rain dance so that we will be able to float the Buffalo River next weekend! Looking forward to that Fo Sho! PBC time again! The shirts are wicked good if I do say so myself.

March Madness

on Friday, March 13, 2009



Here's another pic of Lexa in her new glasses. This was taken on way from the dr.'s office. She looks so sad, but really she's just sleepy.

This picture is from Tuesday. We had some really nice weather and had to go outside. Logan hadn't been feeling or sleeping well the night before so we stayed home. He's been teething, and isn't eating very well but is hungry and can't sleep. Baby Tylenol helps some.
I just found the coolest place on the web. www.KiddieRecords.com You must check it out. I have found out that there are a lot of really neat things on the internet for free for kids. Music, Stories, Poetry, pictures to print and color. This website is awesome. And someone has put a lot of effort into providing some free childrens stories in MP3 format.

Pink Glasses

on Thursday, March 12, 2009

Lexa got her glasses yesterday. They are really cute dark pink molded plastic frames.

She doesn't like to wear them. Big Surprise. She pulls them off, or if she does wear them, she's looking over the top of them half the time. I know that they aren't comfortable for her but I hope she adjusts to them and wears them better. We have a check up with the eye doctor in a month to see if the glasses are working...

Last night Lance and I constantly said, "Put your glasses on."



Raaby Showre & Blue Skies

on Monday, March 9, 2009

A great time was had by all in Little Rock and Pea Ridge. Cat and Amy got lots of cute and handy things at the baby shower! I'm very excited for them both. Blu did his best to stay out of trouble this weekend and kept us all entertained. It was a good time had by all and I didn't even try to fight anyone this time. Just wait until the PBC!



Lance kept himself VERY busy. He got the play set installed in the backyard this weekend. Friday through Sunday he worked hard to make a play area for the kids! Lexa LOVES it already. We got the wooden set used so he had to recondition it by making some repairs, power washing the wood and putting a new stain on it. And he preped the site by leveling up a spot behind the house on the hill, bringing in some gravel, doing a little retaining work. I'm very excited to have a bunch of kids out there playing on it. I'm glad I have such a hardworking and caring husband. Thank you Lance!!!

Accommodative Esotropia

on Friday, March 6, 2009

Accommodative Esotropia
This refers to a crossing of the eyes ("esotropia") caused by farsightedness. Accommodative esotropia is a type of strabismus. Strabismus refers to any misalignment of the eyes.
Children who are farsighted easily and automatically focus on objects at distance and near through "accommodation". Accommodation refers to the contraction of a small muscle inside the eye to cause the natural lens in the eye to change its shape and allow images to focus properly on the back surface of the eye. As a result, a child who is farsighted usually does not have blurred vision. However, in some children who are farsighted, this accommodative effort is associated with a reflex crossing of the eyes. Hence the term, "accommodative esotropia."
Accommodative esotropia can begin anywhere from 4 months to 6 years of age. The usual age of onset is between 2 and 3 years of age. Source.

So are you wondering why I care about this?


Lexa has it. I took her to the pediatrician on Tuesday for a list of things that were nagging me and got refered to a pediatric opthamologist. And Accommodative Esotropia is the diagnosis. The problem is that sometimes when she looks as far as a distance of about 3 or 4 feet her left eye turns in. The first time I saw her do this I was really taken aback.


Lexa got a glasses perscription and should get them fitted sometime next week. I'm kinda sad that she has to have the encumberance of eye glasses at such a young age - 2.5 years old, but glad that we caught this early enough that it's only glasses.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

The final movie trailer was released Wednesday and I just found out. Oh My! I saw this and HAD to post it since today is a blog kind of day.

If you remember I found out last year about this movie and was so thrilled I named my first born son after its main character. (I keed, I keed) Logan is a great name that just happens to be Wolverine's name.



Go here for the preview and the countdown to the movie! Go here for more info.


Dancing Bear




Like I said in my last post, I'm not big on reading or writing so you know this video was straight up my alley! Enjoy! You'd be lying if you said it didn't make you smile!

Yeah, it's FRIDAY!

Read Me a Picture

I'm a picture kind of person. Just ask Lance. You won't find me with my nose in a book very often. My blog is filled with pictures and not much fluf (otherwise knows as those pesky words.) So if a picture says a thousand words, then how many does a video say? I got this video from my cousin in an email today and it is really insightful. I know I promised to stop posting political stuff but it's in my blood.

So I just have to add that when and who thought it would be a good idea to start printing money that we don't have gold to back? And isn't that called counterfeiting? All I can say is invest wisely because soon our money won't be worth the paper it's printed on. Buy Land - you can't just make more of that and the value always rises. Anyone else have any ideas that individuals can do to protect themselves from Mr. Obama?




And how is that I didn't know about the Drug War in Mexico until just this week?

Other Bedroom Furniture

on Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Ok. We have the nightstands, but not the bed yet. The dresser and nightstands were in stock and were delivered last week. But they told us the bed would have to be ordered and would take 4-6 weeks. I can't wait!

Sort of related is that I won an hour of an interior decorators time in a silent auction the weekend before last. I am so excited about this because I have dreamed of having someone who is professionally trained to come into my house and help me put on some finishing touches. I've got the basic color palette of the house down and I am very happy with it. I just need some help with accents and accessories!






More Pictures From The Birthday Party



Awwe... sleeping babies are ALWAYS cute. Logan was such a good baby at the birthday party. He is teething right now and has a hard time taking a bottle unless he is just really hungry.



Lexa is helping Wes open his birthday presents. I remember him helping her at her first birthday party when she really didn't know what was going on. They had SO much fun Sunday chasing eachother around the house and playing with toys.
I just can't wait until all 6 kids are able to play together. My two, my cousin's two and my sister's two! All 6 are within 3 years of eachother! We've been passing the baby clothes back and forth like nobody's business!!!
