I want to introduce you to Ezra
Ezra just turned 2 years old. He is newly diagnosed with cancer. He was bit by a spider and his reaction to the bite was enough to go to the Dr's and two days later his parents get the Dx of ALL. To read all about Ezra go to his moms blog.

Teacher Gifts
This is what we did for the end of the year teacher gifts.
Kaitlen made Mrs. P a necklace, I helped.
Cody made Mrs. O a magnet.
Matthew has 5 teachers, yes 5. Matthew did the bottle cap one and I did the rest. I still have to string them, but his last day of school is Tues, so I have time.

Orange Julius
I have no idea if this was a Southern Cal thing or if the rest of the nation got to enjoy Orange Julius too, but we'd go shop at the mall in HB and Mom would always get us an Orange Julius.
Well, is saw a tweet for an adult version of the Orange Julius.
1 c. orange juice, 1 c. Malibu Banana Rum, 2Tbs. whipping cream, ice. Blend. Drink.

Sugar Cookies
I made sugar cookies tonight and they were yuuummmy. I'll never buy store bought again. I used the 1st recipe that popped up online. Sorry no pics. Ate them all. In a couple comments they mention making sure the butter is soft or you'll end up with a botched batch so to make sure mine was soft I zapped it for 20 seconds. Another comment said cook them for 8 minutes exactly. So my first cookie tray i took out at 7min and 15 sec. Yep, to early, lol. second tray i took out at 8 minutes exactly and they were perfect.
Krimsin, your cookies are probably, er,.... lost in the mail. yeah,... lost in the mail. ;)

The Surprise was.....
On my Sunday Spotlight i said I had a surprise and you'd have to wait to see what it is. Well, I planned on buying and giving a tile necklace pendant to who ever was comment #4. Here is the message I sent Cool Harmonie.
Well, Tina was comment #4 and with that being kinda weird I wrote down numbers 1-4 on pieces of paper and since Cody was home sick today I had him draw the number..... and he drew #4..... seriously, not kidding here. lol
I was so thrown off that he picked #4 I forgot to have him show it to you. I guess it's meant to be comment #4.
Congrats Tina!

going through stuffed animals
I was sitting here thinking I need to go through the kids stuffed animals. Thinking that totally made me remember that once we had to bag up all the stuffed animals and put them away because the eyes on them freaked Matthew out and he'd cry. LOL. Poor matthew. He's over that thankfully.
♥Lisa♥
♥Lisa♥
Remember, not everyone is having BBQ's today
This is from my post last year in reference to this video. Matthew was 3 almost 4.
"Matthew and I watched the video below 3 times in a row. He wanted to watch it one more time. Matthew had continuous questions and on one round of questions when it showed the flag covered caskets he asked whats that? I told him they had died and they were bringing them home. He said oh, the bad guys...... I told him no, sometimes the good guys die too."

Spotlight Sunday- Pay it Forward
I was hopping all over Etsy the other night and came across Cool Harmonie store. I saw she had a PIF tile pendant for sale for 50cents. I thought hmmm, whats PIF..... I click, and it's Pay it Forward!!! She has several items that she offers at a reduced price and you pass on your great deal by paying it forward!! how awesome is that?? really awesome.
Now if this isn't creative then I don't know what is. This is a necklace pendant made from recycled magazines.
Laurie also has other things in her shop. Tile pendants, Nursing necklaces, nursing reminder clips, bracelets and earrings.
She also has a twitter account! so all you twits ;) might want to add her.
Do you pay it forward??
I thought about that after I went to her site. I can't say I have consciously paid it forward, but I try to give as much as I can through out my day, week, life. I'm not talking just giving money. Sometimes it's the little things. Waiting, holding the door for some one even though you know you could have gone through and been long gone before the people behind you got there. Talking to that person in line. It may just change their day. Or talking to the looney guy at the park while your kids are playing. He may have just really needed to talk. There are days IM the person that just really needed to talk, lol.
Check out Cool Harmonie. I think you'll like it.
oh, I also have a surprise for you, but you have to wait just a tad before finding out about it.

Generic Lucky Charms
Friday morning Abigail broke out in a rash on her face. Even though it was all over, there was a defined circle going from her mouth to up and around to between her eye brows and then back down to her mouth. Like she drank something, but it was bigger than a cup. We gave her benadryl and went on with our day.
Just about every night Abbie will eat a bowl of cereal and Friday night was no different, she had generic Lucky Charms, Always Save Marshmallow Glitters (just like in the morning). So I made it, she ate it. She started breaking out again. Because I'm such a genius, i think it's the milk. She's been drinking milk for a year now with no problems, but my nephew did have sudden milk allergies.
So Saturday morning I make her a bowl of Honeycombs because we are out of Marshmallow Glitters. She doesn't break out. Bingo, allergic to something in the Marshmallow Glitters. What it is I have no idea.
It was funny when I realized which bowl she used on Friday morning to leave that ring on her face. She has a small pink plastic bowl and I guess it's great to drink out of. The other bowls have a lip on the edge and not-so-great to drink from.

Stupid SOB's
Friday, May 22, 2009
Matthew had his first dental appt.
Ben took Matthew on Thursday for his appt. It was suppose to be just for x-rays and do any work later. Well, The Dr decided to do two fillings that morning.
Then the laughing gas really hit him and it was drill time. Ben took him and let him pick out a toy for being so good. I know, we must be the only family to reward getting cavities, lol. At least he didn't give him a sucker.
♥Lisa♥
Ben said he did really good and when he was getting the nitrous oxide he was bopping along to the music, getting high. The picture was taken after his song and dance.

Matthew's new glasses
I decided Matthew needed a pair of everyday/play glasses and save his nice ones for nicer occasions. I ordered these from Zennioptical for 13$ including shipping!!!
We got them in two weeks, that was much faster than it took for kaitlen's. Hers took 6 weeks.
But you can not beat their prices. Matthews other glasses from our local eye Dr cost about 250$.

Stupid Idiot Cow >:/
So, i get up this morning and the dogs are barking. There is a young cow in our yard. So i go out to try and get it out of our yard and it charged Swayze. Well, swayze got out of the way.
The cow then went after 13 y/o old, practically blind, hard hearing PJ. He rolled him, trampled him. I was screaming and crying. Ben ran outside and nailed him with a soda can. NADA. He threw something else at him. NADA. He ran in and got his gun and fired off a couple shots.
(me still screaming and crying)
The cow ended up in the corner and we had to call out county to find out who it belonged to. Our neighbors down the road got their horses and rounded it up.
we know who the owner is and he'll have to pay for pjs surgery to fix his tooth. (hope he's not to old for surgery) We could have shot the cow. Had he tried to attack again, Ben was going to.

Spotlight Sunday- Summer crafts
Here are some activities and links I can think of when summer gets boringggggg.
Everyone love's playdough. Have the added fun of making it your self.
We go through bubbles like crazy here.
Cody makes paper airplanes just about every day.
Bubble art
Newspaper sailor hats
DIY Shrinky Dinks
This is something Cody did one time. he collected twigs and leaves and put them all on a paper plate (the Styrofoam kind) then he poured elmers glue ALL over it. A lot of glue. Let it dry and he ended up with an outdoorsy piece of art. you can always do the glue first and stick the leaves and twigs into the glue.

Spaghetti Contest and Apron Giveaway!!!
Contest open to the US, Canada and the UK!!!!
This contest was thought up completely by my 6 y/o daughter. She wants me to give away a Little Mama Apron. For you to win it, you have to send me a picture that has to do with spaghetti. It can be anything as long as spaghetti is involved: Kids eating spaghetti, mom making spaghetti, a plate of spaghetti you just served up. OR if you happen to have a Matthew living in your house it could even be spaghetti noodles on your tv screen
Here is an example of what the apron will look like. I will be shopping for the fabric on Sunday and will make it on Monday or Tues and post pics of it. I'll be looking for a summery fabric, something that makes you want to serve dinner on the back patio. hope I find it. LOL.
What to do......
1. Find a picture you already have OR take new ones. You have plenty of time.
2. Email me your picture, please add your blogger user name in the email.
3. Leave me a comment saying you emailed me a pic.
(If you'd like you can blog and link back so others can play)
What happens next....
1. I will upload everyones picture to my spaghetti contest album in photobucket as I get them. So everyone can enjoy looking at them.
2. The day after the contest ends I will set the album to private and I will sit with Kaitlen and ask her row by row to pic her two favorite, the 3rd will be deleted. This will go until SHE has picked a winner.
3. I will announce the winner on my blog.
you can submit more than one pic, I know it's hard to decide.
CONTEST ENDS MAY 31, 2009 AT 11:59 CENTRAL TIME.
I have one huge favor!! Please no vomited spaghetti pics, lol. I just know someone has one out there.
oh, pedophiles.... don't send pics of your noodle and meatballs, my daughter doesnt open my emails and she'll never see it. (and, um, I know where you live :O )

Great deal
I mentioned earlier that our cake maker is moving to New Zealand. She is having a garage sale and I stopped by. Just about everything was marked 25cents. So i got about 10 cake/cupcake pans and this hanging organizer. I have been wanting to get something for the kids school clothes. Every night i set out their clothes and with this i can get it ready for the whole week. tops, bottoms, underwear and socks. very cool. I can also hang Kaitlen's dresses.

Way. To. Cool.
Ok, I saw @mckmama tweet about Arnold Schwarzenegger, @schwarzenegger, and thought it was pretty cool that he has a twitter account. When Cody saw his tweet page he got excited to see the Terminator! and stated that he wants to move back to Ca so that Schwarzenegger could be his Governor. Sooooooooo, when Cody went off to bed i sent Mr. Arnold a tweet with what Cody said.
It seriously NEVER crossed my mind that he'd tweet back!!! i came to check out my emails and there it was!!

and here is what he said. Tina said he probably sends that to everyone, but I don't care! He spent the time to send it is what is cool.
So After Codys Medical career (remember) and he becomes Gov of Arkansas, he will have this tweet, lol. Now I need to get something from a President so he has something for when he is President of the USofA.♥Lisa♥

Aspergers
A little info on it.
It's to late to test Cody for this school year, but they will have everything lined up for Cody to be tested the first week of 4th grade. Cody has a lot of the symptoms to varying degrees. Ok, I've sat here for like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to explain Cody's symptoms to you but it's near impossible because it's "Cody" We have known for a while that something was wrong with Cody. (I don't like to use the word wrong, but you know what I mean) For a while we were heading down the ADD road, which I didn't mind but i felt there was something just a tad more than that. But I didn't know what it was. It wasn't until Cody left for his field trip to the quartz mine and I spent 40 minutes talking to another mom after the bus left and she was telling me about all the quirks with her son and I swear after everything she said i would say, "Cody too" at the end of it all she told me he had been diagnosed with Aspergers. I had heard of it, but had no idea what it was. So i looked it up and it would explain a lot if that's what he's got going on. That's where we are at right now. I'll update as we go further into this.
I'm not upset that he possibly has this. Sometimes just having an Dx and info to go with it is a relief. I wouldn't change Cody for who he is, what fun would that be, but i want to be able to help him in the areas that he needs it to get through life.

Cody
Yesterday Cody asked me if fruits go extinct. Here is an interesting article I found.
I emailed Elaine Solowey to find out if it made it. It's an '06 email address, it didn't get bounced back as undeliverable so I hope she still uses the account.

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT
ok, Matthew has never, ever had a dry night. EVER. So once abbie got bigger he would just wear one of her diapers to bed. Well, about a week and a half ago i decided to buy Matthew his very own Goodnights pull ups because he would pee so much that abbies diaper didn't always hold it all. Well, he was so excited and thought they were just great. Then about 4 or 5 days ago he said he didn't want to sleep with a pull up, that he was a big boy. So i explained to him that if he didn't have one on he'd pee in his sleep and be wet. He wasn't happy, but he kept wearing them. WELL, last night he said NO, he was a big boy and didn't need them. So i agreed. He had to go pee right then and he could sleep in underwear. we went to bed and i didnt put anything under him because i didn't want him to think i didn't believe in him. So I snuck a towel and stuck it inbetween him and i. (lol, i didnt want to get wet) I just figured I'd be washing sheets in the AM. I slept like crap and kept waking up to feel if he was wet and every time he was dry! He went all night without wetting the bed. The weird thing is when he'd wear a diaper/pullup to bed I'd check in the middle of the night to see if there was pee in it and making sure it wasn't wet in the AM because he was maybe doing his morning pee in it. It was always wet throught the night and he would take it off and then go pee in the toilet first thing in the morning. It's like his bladder matured over night. The funny thing is he is literally the same age as kaitlen when she stopped night wetting. Kaitlen was Aug 07 and her 5th bday was Oct, and Matthew will be 5 in July.
Now to get Abigail out of diapers....

Kaitlen's first tball game in 2009
The girls FINALLY had their first game. Their first 3 games were rained out and they were excited to finally play.
I had planned on posting this a couple days ago, but I've had a headache coming on and it finally hit today. I had to call Ben to pick the kids up from school and then eventually asked him to stay home from work. He picked up the older kids, then realized he forgot to get Matthew which was on his way from work to the big kids school so he had to backtrack and he got me the over the counter migraine medicine and finally made it home. I took the medicine and he took the kids to Oklahoma to get a lotto ticket and he also came back with a new dog house. Which is weird because Ben doesn't shop for dog houses. I do. It even has the clear plastic flappy door on it.
