Update for the week...almost missed ya!

I'm a little late but still within this week :)... I've had a "busy" week you could say... Wednesday Night I was able to babysit my neice Ainsley..which she was a complete doll :)...the kids loved it..Sondra just plain smitten to be able to be around Ainsley..and Stuart happy to be in a "baby home". He all night kept stealing Ains' bink..and then to my surprise stealing her bottle and drinking it... liking the taste of breastmilk...lol.... can't wait till he is old enough to share that detail with him...Thursday night I "watch" my 10 year old Nephew Colt...lol... he more or less watched Stu while I showered...major bonus of the "older" nephew...a very big highlight of my week was Monday night... we have been talking or me- gently begging to finally get a "nice" camera..and Monday night on Vday..Jake wanted to take Sondra to watch Cody Lovejoy wrestle and after I said go ahead me and stu will stay home...and he suggested Me & Stu go get that camera I wanted! What??? lol... Don't got to tell me twice...me and stu took the epic journey and did it. I was so excited happy over joyed!...Its my 3rd baby. I have been playing with it ever since. I love it...I haven't stopped taking photos with it...I CANNOT WAIT till it is time to take fancy photos with the kids.....I have missed taking pictures..my little kodak camera just wasn't up to what I wanted and I seen the difference in photos of the professional ones... so I am so happy I have the tools to do so....and also..the kind of camera I got will hold up for a long time....nice quality.

Work is going good... seems like things are "normal"..but not really...I still miss my Aunt Deb there...but she will be back before I know it... and I'm excited for the "project" I'm doing also...I'm working on getting an actual policy on billing..and updating on the steps as to past due bills and all that...also..working on changing as to how we bill out our weekly statements...moving from Quickbooks to doing it all on our database..(which this holds no value to people do not work on billings and stuff) but worth mentioning it is taking up time in my life... :) but I'm excited in my own way...

Thursday night Sondra wiggled her way into staying with her Aunt Rachel and Uncle Chris plus Ainsley. I know she enjoyed every minute of that. Seeing the pictures of her there made me laugh b.c. was always right next to Ains. She will kill me someday if she doesn't have a little sister....

Sondra, Ainsley & Rachel...Sondra had a blast

Friday Sondra stayed with Rachel and spent time with Grandma Clum too while I was with Stu in town having a "girls" night with my SIL Melissa and Jude :). We ran some errands ate supper and finished the night at crazy Walmart.... it amazed us how little we got and how much stuff is. We ended the night cuddling in my chair and eventually Sondra coming home w/Jake. I had already but Stu in bed and when Sondra walked in to get into bed he popped right up and screamed for her. It was so cute..he missed her. He gave her kisses and hugs. Made my heart melt..... after going in there numerous times to tell him to lay down and cover up he finally gave up!

I am completely wiped out from this weekend already... Today me and the kids went to LCC to support our Mustangs at Sectionals. JR, Tyler, Colt, Grant were Sectional Champs  and Max was 2nd. It was a exciting day to see them all move on to districts..and no other sport is as much as a family as Wrestling..or at least here at AE. Everyone is good company and I love how everyone helps with my Monsters. Any of them and all of them have taken Stu off my hands for a little while whether it was a lap for him to sit on..or a walk they provided while I could sit peacefully for a little while..I very much appreciate their help. Also while Stuart went with Daddy to watch another Wrestling Sectional in Shawnee ..me and Sondra went to the basketball game to see Alfred play. It was a good night JV won..and I'm not sure about the Varsity...we left in the middle of the 1st half of varsity game..someone mentioned why was I leaving...my reply...I'm a Alfred supporter..he is done playing lol.. I just can't sit in those seats one more minute when i did it all day already..My butt just couldn't take it.

Alfred tonight at his Game :) 

The AE Wrestlers

Tomorrow is Church day..which will include Jake & Sondra going and getting Ram Poly Pay...Sondra is pretty excited... which at times worry me b.c. I'm not sure how Sheepvested I am ...lol...also we are supposed to be getting the Round-pen set up for the horses..b.c. Sondra & her grandma have some horses that need trained....Sondra is always wanting to train some horses... she has that love for horses running through her veins..which makes me happy she is enjoying it.

So this week Stu has been more irritable then ever....all from his teeth coming in. Sondra was never like that. I never knew she had teeth coming in- its like I'd look in her mouth and they were there...now Stuart... whew... I have him on Tylenol just to keep him happy he will bring it to me! I don't blame the kid....just look in his mouth the next time you see him...

Stuart in one of his episodes today..likely cause..his vampire teeth coming in

I  gotta get going..I'm tired as hell..I am really excited about Sunday dinner tomorrow... I got a big beef brisket to make...we are going all out... mac and cheese potato wedges corn bread...aw man... sounds so good! So I'll talk to you all you guys soon. also though..I have a cousin on the Reffitt side named Jake that needs some extra prayer. He is fighting a addiction that almost got him for good. Pray for his strength and pray for everyone to support him to get through this.

Sondra really Missed her Uncle Coolie..he came home for the weekend  from College..
