Snow is here*************

WOW - the wind chill is 2 degrees and we have 5 inches of snow and it's still coming. I picked the kids up early. Br- school called and said they were getting out at noon, so I picked up Ch too. It was crazy for them to make them go to school. We are suppose to get 12 inches. We will see. Of course the kids love it. Inside warm and playing. I am making chili. Sounds really good and I am sure M will need to warm up after being out there all do. I will try to get pictures of the OK snow and Blog them later. Stay warm.

Christmas is 27 days away!!!!

Wow Can you believe it is almost Christmas ????? I was one of the crazy people out shopping at 5 am .On Friday. But you know, I am done shopping for my the kids . All I need is my mom and Ken.

The weather man says, Sleet and 35 degrees tomorrow. It was 80 two days ago. Everyone will be out getting Groceries and then nothing. I Hope .

Well, the week before Thanksgiving. The "P" household got sick. First is was D a 1:30 am on Saturday, B at 5:30 am on Sunday Ch- Sunday at 3 pm. M- at about 5 am on Monday. Me , well, I just felt bad for two days Monday and Tuesday. Never did really "get sick" . We are all well now. My folks are sick now. It is going around fast. I bleached everything and Lysoled the whole house . It still went around. I even put bleach in the Dishwasher. I guess we haven't had it in several years. It was time.
I pray everyone else stays healthy.
I will post the kids' picture later this week. Check back.

Thankful

This year I am very Thankful that my Grandma got to see and love on D before see passed away this past year. These are the last picture we have of her. These were in her home. She never had to move. She would go on and on about how D was so cute and how she just loved him. Which you didn't hear much about love and hugs in her younger years. Not that she didn't show it, In the last 2 or 3 years. You would hear her tell my kids she loved them and HUG them . Our children were able to see her about every 6 weeks there about a year and half before she passed. I just never thought of taking pictures. My granfather passed before D was born. We do not any pictures of him since B was 2 yrs. old. We didn't know he would pass so soon. I just love these. I just wish B could've been in them . This was one of our quick runs to the Dentist and we only brought B if you know we wouldn't get back in time. She was able to she her at least every other time. Please everyone take pictures. They are the sweetest memories. This holiday season, TAKE A PICTURE OF EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your Turkey.
Love - US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOVEMBER 25- 2002

It seems like yesterday that our son MARK THOMAS JR. left this earth. I cannot believe it has been almost 4 years. As the 4th year comes around, I think of all he would be right now. He would be in preschool, playing soccer & being himself. What would that be like ???? It's hard to think about it and look at D. GOD blessed us with him.(D) As he says "I will not give you more than you can handle" . At the time, it was as much as I wanted to handle . Looking back over the last 4 years, we have met people that we would've never got to know. We have helped other people with the same sadness. It all happens for a reason. We can not be sure of the reason at the time. May God bless you all this through these holiday months. C

Pumpkin Patch !!

We went to the Pumpkin patch with my local MOPS group.(It was fall break so not everyone was there. ) We had a great time. A little cool, but so much fun. The pumpkins by the white van is ours. D- was so proud of his. The kids were off for Fall break. My In-laws came for four days. We had a wonderful time. It was Grandpas birthdayon Friday. We had corn cassorole , Lasagna, salad, rolls, cake and cookies.
D- has a 102 fever today. We took him to the DR. he said virus. They tested his blood count and it was fine. So , we will wait it out. He is almost two and and he has not had an antobotic yet. Hope you enjoy the picture .

Poor Little Boy!!!!!!!

D was so excited , Dad came home with his work truck. He ran out to get in and play. Well, his foot slid while getting in the big seat and he fell. He fell down two tall steps. His two Front teeth with completely through his tongue . My stomach felt sick. My father was here and has blood all over his shoulder. Grandpa and him are sleeping right now. I flet so bad. I was not out there. Grandpa and dad was. He seems to be fine now. I will post later. My In-laws are coming here this weekend. So , I have a lot to do . Everyone have a great Fall Break.

We went to the Living History Farms and that was worth to drive. The kids had a blast. Here is a picture of them at Six Flags. This was before vacation.

Today

May 10th , 2006


Well, this last weekend was great . We had the Iris Fest.
D- has started to go in the potty at least three to four times a day. The #2 thing is going better than the #1. He thinks it is fun. He is talking up a storm. He likes to repeat words you say and sounds for cars and tractors. My dad came over today and had bought him a Step two car bed . It's so cool. It has a sun roof and doors. (It's a toddler size. ) D- took his first nap in it today. He got a twin race car bed for X-Mas this last year. He's set.
B- had two softball games last night. They tied the first on 8 to 8 and the second 7 to 7 . What a couple of games. She was able to go to an ice cream party today. Thanks to everyone who bought Chicken Noodle tickets from her. Anyone that sold $75 or more got to go to the party. B- sold 81 tickets at $6.50 each.
Ch- went on a youth trip to Enid on Sunday. She had a great time. In school yesterday they were able to go to KS for a Field trip . They were gone from 7 am - 5 :30 pm .
We are putting up the pool today. It takes about 12 hours to fill up. The kids really have fun with it all summer.
I better be going. For everyone out there. DO NOT FORGET YOUR MOTHER THIS WEEKEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The kids !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 inches of rain in the last week. Praise GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We needed it so much. B's- soccer game was cancelled and so was softball for Monday. But, again we needed it.
The end of the school year is so close. B- has 4 field trips in the next 3 weeks. Ch- had testing and did very well. Her reading is at a 11.0 . She is in 7th grade. D - is talking so much. We are potty training and yes, he has went many of times. It took 2 months for Ch. B took 6 months to complete night and day. We are hoping 2-3 with him.
Also, here is Ch hair. I know it took me a long time. It's so cute and everyone loves it.
We hope everyone is having a wonderful May. Take care !!!!! C J P

PS here is a picture from B's 7th b-day !!!!!!!!!!!

CH

Easter is almost here !!!!1

Hello, I cannot believe it is almost Easter.
This year D will be able to pick up the Easter eggs himself.
I hope you all enjoy the pictiure. D just loved the Easter bunny.
Ch- is at camp and so she was unable to be in the picture.
B- she couldn't wait to go get the pictures.
Speaking of B- She scored the first goal of her soccer game today.
Way to go !
Anyway- I will try to post later. We are going to a different church in the morning. They are having a gospel meeting this week. So we will be going there Sun.- Wed.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. CP

Today is better!!!!!!!!!!

Well, today was better. My dad was here and I got to clean a little . The wind is really blowing here. Our county has a tornado warning. Right now. But it's already past our town. I think we will have a bad summer. It's starting to early not to be.
I am a little down. Our Youth minister is leaving. My daughter CH- will be with out a Youth director. We have a lot of mixed feeling. Our youth director is great. But, the church says with only 5 kids in the youth ,it is not worth paying someone. It's worth it to us. It's our children !!!!!!!
Ch- is very upset. She cried on Sunday. The youth minister has a son that is 6 months younger than D. We are going to miss the whole family.
On a good note. Ch is going to camp this weekend. She is not a camper she is helping with it. They asked her to, The Girl Scout leader. She is leaving tomorrow and wil be back on a Sunday.
B's b-day is in 14 days. I haven't even started to plan a party . I am really bad this year.

I have gone on long enough. I will write more later. CP

Friends ????????

Hello all- today I am just venting. Friends??? Why do people have to lie to you. Make up stories ?? It's like they have to tell you one thing and tell others different, to stay firends with all. Even if it is a lie. I do not like friends that can not stand up for themself. Ones that need to tell the other friend what she wants to hear. I do not like ones that tell one friend they are friends with them and then run and tell the other one what that one had said.
No this is not my life. This person did this to another friend and now they are in a lot of grief becasue of this .Husband is no longer a deacon. (that much grief) She doesn't even live in the same city and she starts trouble.I think she enjoys it. She's always acting like she cares . Asking questions and all. Then she tells everyone. WOW. Again- just venting !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, we put up a fence half way between the yard. This is so D can play and the dogs can not get to him. It's been about 82 here today. Very nice. D's face got sunburned . Ch- is getting her hair cut off tonight. This is what she wants, so I let her. I will send a picture later. CP

Thank you Tracey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know that you had to do all that. Thank you Friend!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like we are going to get storms today. My Dad is over. We clean up the yard and took a load to the dump. Looking better. Now I need help with the house. LOL
Sorry this is short. Just wanted to say Thank you to Tracey


Later CP

Hello everyone !!!!!!1

B- started softball tonight. Right across the street. M- took her and D. Well, we got B's report card and she has 4 A's and two B's . CH- has all B's . Great huh???? Anyway, B- reading report says she is reading on average at a 4.3 grade level. That is a fourth grade !!!!!!!!! We are so excited for her. She loves to read , just like Ch does. D- is getting so big. 14 months this last Saturday. He is so loving.
B-'s Birthday is the 20th of April. She will be 7 yrs. Wow, how the years go by. Ch- wants to get all her hair cut off. Really short again. I guess next week she is going for a haircut.

ME !!!!!!!!

Wow, what little minds can do and What a morning!

Hello, B- goes to a Christian school as all of you should know. She has memory work . I am so amazed at what she has learned. Most of the time it is 5/6 verses long a month. This month it was these and she already has them done.
The leader : I'd like to be a leader When I get big and tall, Like President of our country, Or mayor in city hall. But first I must learn to take orders, And so what my parents say, Because who will want to follow ME If I haven't learned to Obey.
Then Romans 10:9 : If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Also, they are Celebrating Dr. Seuss's B-day and had to remember this one. "Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the THINKS you can think up if only you try !!"

You all should call and let her say them to you. She would be so happy to recite them to you .

Well , to the what a morning. D- woke up at about 3:20 am vomiting. WOW. He was done by 5 am and we slept until 10 am. Now he has Diarrhea !!! YUCK !!!! Being a mom has the good and the bad. I love it all !!!!!!!!!

We also have snow, it's 11 degrees and we stayed in all day in our PJ's . The girls and I just loved that. We haven't been able to do this in about a year or so . M - on that other hand had to work.
Write to you all later - Love - C
