Ode to a Dishwasher

It never tells me no,
It never says "I'm tired",
It washes dishes clean (enough),
So dishpan hands-You're Fired!
No more dishes piled high,
No more cracking, itching fingers,
When the evening meal is over,
In the kitchen, I'll not linger!
Appreciated now forever,
This appliance I adore,
Dishwasher you are my friend,
Without you, I'll live no more!

Ok, really, I know some people like washing dishes for reasons I cannot fathom (people like my mom and Erika come to mind, really, what are you thinking?) Do your hands not get dried out, or what? My hands after washing dishes everyday, all day, would feel like a thousand papercuts and they would look like it too! I mean, I love my washer and dryer too but it's my dishwasher that saves me from daily pain. If you have never lived without a dishwasher, don't. If you currently don't have a dishwasher, you have my upmost sympathy and my advise is MOVE!
Coming soon..........Ode to a washer and dryer, the dynamic duo!

Happy Birthday Truston!

I can't believe Truston is 4 years old! It is amazing to me how he can make me completely mad and melt my heart at the same time. He is definately the comic in our home. We love you Truston and are so greatful that you were sent to us! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What to do

Hey all, I will probably delete this post before too long because I really do not like depressing things but sometimes ya just gotta let it out. So those of you whom I talk to regularly know that Kaden just seems to have issues right? Like, random 104 degree temperatures occasionally even higher, or his sweats when he sleeps (he wakes up completely drenched from an two hour nap and no the room isn't too warm) his speech delay.......the list goes on and on and on......... well we are back at the dr's office today (Truston has strep whoopee) to see if there is anything going on with Kaden's persistant and ongoing cough and the puss (yes, gross, I know) coming out of his eye. Today, the doctor finally seems to realize that I don't just take the kid in whenever he has a sniffle and seems to take me seriously and brings up the fact that Kaden does have symptoms (how many, I don't know) of a very rare disease and gosh dang it, I don't even remember the name of it so I can look it up! She is going to look into what can be done for further testing, what fun. Now, before anyone thinks I am going to totally freak out about this, I'm not because we have gone through it before with testing of cystic fibrosis, celiac and so on and so forth and they have always come back negative but jeez what a hasle and I just wish we could figure out what is going on with my little guy. Well, that's been my week/day, now I just have to wait until my dr's appointment because yup, I have a really bad sore throat. Wanna bet if it's strep?

Happy Easter Everyone!

Truston and his loot, need I say more?


Kaden already playing with his new Magna Doodle. He polished off his Chocolate bunny in no time flat! What a great breakfast................

And Taryn gets her own slide show because, well, she's adorable and she's in her new Easter dress............

Getting Ready for Easter!

What's been going on Here?

I'm cute take a picture! You know it won't last because I am 2! Here's an update on with what's been going on with Kaden. He is two and a half and acting it........ug. But I do have periods of time when I see the cute kid come through!!! Honestly, if I could compare him with any Disney character it would be Carpet from Aladdin. Kaden still isn't really talking (like, at all) but he is so dang expressive he almost doesn't need to. We had an intake specialist from the County come and evaluate him for speech delay and we are currently just waiting for the results!

Truston is saying that he is a GOOF! This kid can melt my heart and drive me crazy at the same time. He is so stinking good at being a ham! He just doesn't quite get the concept of being careful and thinks he's a bulldozer, or a dinosaur.................

My cheeks are tooooo heavvvvvvvvvy! Taryn is doing great, I'm still scared to try rice cereal again on her because of her previous results, yuck. But as you can see she isn't starving and her neck muscles have got to be totally buff!

Look at me, I'm up, I'm revin my engine, Now I just have to figure out how to put myself in gear! I can see my days are very limited now on when she will be crawling, soon I will have three going in oposite directions...........heaven help me!

Howdy Strangers!

Well, here it is! What you've all been wating for! Ok, I know only a few who have asked for pictures of our home but for the rest of you, at least you can see what I have been up to (and why I have neglected our blog for so long). I put captions on the pics but you have to move your mouse over the pic to see them. And no, it's not as scary as it looks. It was just a dreary day when I took the pics............geez some people are just picky picky picky................:o)
