The trials and tribulations of trying to raise 6 children while dreaming of quiet country living from my suburban home. Humor, we get through it all with humor. ;)

Happy birthday Tom! The love of my life turned 27 today. I went with him up to chelan and while he worked the kids and i went to the super Wal-mart and shopped for some goodies. I left with some not so great snickerdoodles and a loaf of cherry cobbler bread that was pretty good. I took the kids to Blueberry hills in manson to eat lunch and i was not impressed. Natalie even refered to her fries as "sparkly" because there was so much grease on them. Tom and I went out to dinner at the wild huckleberry and I made him a birthday cake. It was a good night. The end. =)

It sure gets busy around here. The kids just go go go all the time. I am really looking forward to vacation where we can hopefully all just relax.
I really hope that we dont spend too much money while we are in CA. Its going to be really expensive for tom and I with 5 kids in tow.
Oh well.
My kids have just been loving the backyard today. They have been trampoline crazy!
Tom is outside fertilizing the yard. Like all good husbands should =). I love him so much. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man.

I am so tired. I was up with Luke early this morning at 4 until about 6. Coughing, coughing and more coughing! I gave him his albuterol and everything and it still didnt help. I hate that my baby cannot breathe at night. I didnt want to have to try and take his nebulizer on the airplane but it looks like im not really going to have a choice.
Big R gets all the baby animals in on tuesday and I am so excited to take the kids, they LOVE baby chicks, ducks and bunnies. Its going to make their day. I know that its probably not legal, but i am thinking about getting a backyard chicken coop anyway. Who's going to know? =). I am going to buy natalie a bunny as soon as it warms up a bit more. Ive always wanted one and she has been wanting one anyway. Its just going to kill two birds with one stone =) .

My house is very much on its way to super-cleandom. But sheesh it sure takes alot of work. I am trying very hard not to burnout from it.
I cleaned my room top to bottom and did all the other "catch up" work that had to be done daily. I swept, mopped, and dusted everything and then vaccumed the entire upstairs. It took about 4 hours of work. And i am exhausted! I had to vaccum lucas and boston's room twice. But it is nice to have a really clean house. I dont have to worry about cleaning for company if its already been done.
I filled out the paperwork for natalie to play T-ball this spring. Im excited about it. Im sure that she will have tons of fun.
Ashlynn is going to be on the Clovis Point Drill Team. I cant wait to see her in her uniform. Im sure that she'll be beautiful. I was never a girl for that sort of thing. Once an band geek always a band geek i suppose.

Lucas has pneumonia (sp) and has to take steroids and albuterol through his nebulizer. Dr. Kolde also mentioned that 95% of the times that i have brought him in it has been for breathing issues and he wants me to do an anti-dust trial for 3 months to figure out if that is the problem, basically, he wants me to keep my house spotless and dust free for 3 months, um well see if that can happen. I have to vacuum EVERYDAY and dust all the furniture EVERYDAY and but antimicrobial bedding for luke and boston because they share a room. Im not looking forward to it but i will try most anything for the health of my baby boy.
On a lighter note.....Karalee and I made doughnuts tonight and it was really fun. I love to make sweets and having company just makes it so much nicer.
