Found this and thought is was interesting...

2009-06-19T11:07:00.003-05:00

The 2 sites that I have attached below are really interesting to me,
1. because neither of these women live in McGehee, AR because that is where I am from and I have never heard of these people and its a really small town.
2. because if you look at both women's pictures the teeth are exactly the same, got to love that.
3. I found these links on 2 totally different sites like MSN and todaysthv.com.

Wow what people will do these days!!!

OMG its been a while.........

2009-06-19T09:20:00.002-05:00

Sorry for the extended length of absence we have been busy. Last week Drake was sick and I missed 3 days of work and you would have thought that my house would have been so clean that you could have eatin off of the floors but that didn't happen because Drake wanted Mommy to take a nap with him which means lay in his bed all day. We watched more movies and a whole lot of noggin and boy am I tired of Yo Gabba Gabba, Blue's Clues and Wow Wow Wubbzy! Finally I got to come back to work on Friday and what a day to come back to work on last day of the week and the day everyone and there Momma decides to come out of the house. So needless to say all of the work that piled up on my desk for the 3 days I was off was waiting on me the next Monday morning. This week they(daycare) moved Drake to the 3 yr old class room and yes you did hear me right I said the 3 yr. old class room and my son is only 2 yrs 5 months old. But the plus side to this story we have now been pappy free for 2 day and counting and they(daycare) are telling me that he is doing so good in his new room. I am so proud that we are making such great strides in his new classroom.

I would also like to ask you guys to Pray for Stellan he is back in the hospital- Poor little guy!
You can follow his progress here on his mothers blog.

So much truth in this verse........

2009-05-21T15:17:00.000-05:00

Proverbs 22:7
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

TIRED....Worn out and a little bit of laughter

2009-05-21T11:11:00.002-05:00

So over the past week I have been super busy..
My youngest sister Angela graduated High School...
Drake has been playing really hard outside where he loves it most and that takes a toll and mommies house cleaning....
So I have been cleaning some major house when we come inside at night....
Which makes it really hard to keep up with my fav TV shows..
And that really ticks me off cause I hate missing Gossip Girl and NCIS and all of the CSI shows.......
after catching up on my shows I have not been getting in the bed until after 10 and I so go to bed with the chickens like I am a 50 year old or something...........
And this is wearing me out..........UGH

And to top that off here lately Drake has begun to get a little bit more bossy than he usually is and MOMMY don't like that. I hate it when a child tells me "just a minute!!!!" and Drake has it down pat. I will call to him from the kitchen or the living room and tell him to come here and he replies "Just a Minute!!" Like I got all day to be waiting on a 2 year old(because u know they are slow as Christmas). Then I told him it was time to take is bath and he tells me "I not take BATH!!!" UGH........
That kinda ticked me off I didn't give you a choice I said lets take a bath....and yes mommy always wins that battle because he knows I mean business when I come in his room and say "GET IN THAT BATHROOM RIGHT NOW!" he RUNS(while laughing like I am playing or something). Oh and he likes to tell my sister Angela to "GET OUT DRAKE'S HOUSE!!!" (and yes he is yelling it) which is kinda funny but I think it hurts her feelings. I wonder what he will tell me next.

Ahhhhhhh kids say the darnedest things but you got to love them.

YouTube

2009-05-14T14:31:00.001-05:00

So I am a large YouTube fan and the other day my brother and sister show me this video and I LOVE IT! It is too funny to me because its so true. Check it out and let me know what you think funny or not:

Rain...Rain..go away......

2009-05-11T11:23:00.004-05:00

HOLY COW has it been raining a whole bunch!!! Drake loves it after it rains. Because after the storm is gone he gets to play in all of the water that the lovely storms left behind. Hey what can I say Boys will be Boys!!!

Holy COW....

2009-05-08T09:29:00.003-05:00

Man its been a long time since I last blogged and I feel really badly about it. Work has been super crazy and I have not had a whole lot of free time to be playing on the Internet.

See people I sell personal lines insurance.....And how many of you out there hate insurance?
oh.. pick me.. pick me..
I hate insurance and I sell it for a living. I hate paying it, selling it and even talking about it!!! Over the past few weeks i have had to deal with the dumbest of the dumb people on this earth I do believe. I had a lady call me the other day and she began to tell me that her insurance had done did collapse and she needed to reflate her policy. I thought to myself uh huh.........well houses collapse and buildings collapse but I have never heard of a policy collapsing, but they do LAPSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say it with me:
My policy has LAPSED and I need to see if I can reinstate my coverage.

UGH stupid people..............I almost laughed in her face but then decided that would be wrong in so many was.

Then I had another woman come in and want car insurance but she has no drivers license. Well first off I don't want to be the one to tell her that you shouldn't be driving if you don't have a license. But instead I tell her that I am unable to write this policy because she has no license. She proceeds to tell me that she has been driving with no license for over 20 years and has never been stopped before. OKAY lady then you need to go back to the place that you have had your insurance for the past 20 years and have them write your policy again. I again was the bad guy but oh well at least I won't have that ladies insurance.

Ah the joys of life as an insurance agent......

Lately.....

2009-04-24T09:35:00.003-05:00

So here lately I have been following the Blog of My Charming Kids and I have fell in love with little Stellan. He is such a little trooper!! After all that he has been through over the past couple of weeks he still keeps a smile on his little face.

I hope that you all will go the McMama's Blog and read Stellan's story. I know McMama is one strong woman because I don't know who long I could have been away from home without seeing my other children and husband and still be able to keep it together for Stellan. Please pray that Stellan gets to go home soon and be with his brothers and sister.

Being a new mom I have always been a sucker for sick kids and hate to see a child hurting. This just rips my heart to pieces. While watching Grey's last night or should I say while crying through Grey's last night I thought to myself I am so happy that Drake is a healthy little boy and that I am not having to go through these kinds of trials in my life. I am a strong woman but I just don't think that I am that strong. My heart really goes out to the Mom's that say in the hospitals for months after there baby is born because they are preemie or something else is wrong with their baby, and then all of the doctors appt. after they get out of the hospital. YIKES!!!

I love my little man and pray everyday that we live a happy healthy life, with the exceptions of the allergies that we already have!

So to all of the Mom's out there with a little one in the hospital Drake and I are preying for you!!

Things are good...

2009-04-17T09:47:00.004-05:00

Well around the Beatty house things are good, and I do mean good. Mickey is home with her little cast on her leg, she looks so sad!!! But she is doing great with it. Only thing is now I have to go outside with her every time she goes. I will put a picture up of her later.

Drake has been enjoying his new Tractor that the BUNNY brought him. We have to ride every afternoon. Here are some pics of the morning he got it.

WOW... WOW.... Everybody!!!!

Do in some tricks on his tractor, with a mouth full!!!

Mickey....

2009-04-13T15:09:00.004-05:00

Saturday afternoon my sweet little Innocent weenie dog goes outside to play as she always does, but this time when I called for her something just wasn't right! She did not come running as she does every time I call.......................UGH!!!! I thought to myself she has run off CRAP I have to go looking for her. So I go back inside finish what I was doing and out I go to look for her.

And there she was sitting on the carport at the bottom of the steps....whining and whimpering. My poor baby was hurt! I opened the door and she came in even though she wanted me to carry her, and let me tell you I would have if I had know what was wrong. So I get her inside and she is favoring her right back leg and hip and won't walk on it at all. I began to cry....... because weenie dogs back legs and hips will sometimes stop working due to disc disease. This was the first thing that came to mind. Which was not the case at all I was apparently just freaking out as my husband claimed! She was given Motrin and lots of love and lots of rest yesterday. Drake even tried to make her get up an play, this was even more saddening! I took Mickey to the vet this morning and she apparently has a broken leg. YAY!!! I thought in my head but then I am wondering how is this little dog going to use the bathroom with a big honking cast on her leg and her only being 4 or 5 inches tall! I love this little dog she is like my 2nd child. She will be spending the night at the vets office tonight, I hope she is not scared! The only time she has been away from me is when she stays with Rosjuane and Brad and that's not very often. She is going to miss her mommy so much and I think I might just miss her more. Here are a few pics from Saturday night.

She is so sad! I will post some after pics of her with the cast on. Will update you all on her progress tomorrow. Please keep my baby girl in your prayers that everything goes well.

A whole lot of catching up to do..

2009-04-13T13:48:00.004-05:00

Over the past few weeks we have been busy little bees.

We have gone to the carnival in Dumas- which Drake loved!!!!!

We Played in the Rain puddles! Mommy loves wet clothes....

Drake has become so very independent here lately he like to tell me "I do it!" and "Me Turn!"

the child is like a parrot he never shuts up and from what I understand it never gets any better either. I know this is crazy but I think I might have the most polite little 2 year old around. Every time the child burps he say "cuse me" and when he replies to me or any other adult he says "yes sir" and when he gets in trouble he always say "SORRY". I think the monsters must have invaded my child's body and gave him good manners.

I have one more post for the day but it need one all of its own! Then tomorrow I will post some from Easter morning!

Haircuts..

2009-03-02T09:01:00.006-06:00

Well last Thursday the whole family got haircuts....and I do mean the whole family!!! I went to get my hair colored and trimmed, then Gary comes along to get his mop cut and we decided Drake's hair really needs to be trimmed because every time he lays his head against something the back gets all frizzy and matted together.

Really don't have one of the before but this is after...

The before frizz........notice the back of the hair! The after................
the front!
Well at least we all look better!!!

Just some new pics............

Workout.....

2009-02-26T14:30:00.003-06:00

Lord help me I have started a new workout and its kicking me in the A$$!!!!

This is called P90X and let me tell you that if you want to hurt all over BUY IT!!! I think I started hurting while watching it the first time...LOL!!

No really this is a great workout set it is extremely hard but kinda fun at the same time, it even motivates you to get up and exercise. I do believe that it will work if I can stick to it. Wish me luck and I might even need a little encouragement to help me along.

HOSPITAL!!!! YIKES.....

2009-02-19T10:36:00.003-06:00

Okay so I have been MIA for a while. Sunday night at around 6 we had to take one very sick little boy to the HOSPITAL!! UGH..... We thought that we were just going because we had the stomach virus and need a shot to make him stop vomiting. We get there they order a chest x-ray-draw blood-give him a shot and This so called doctor tells me that he has Pneumonia and that is why he is vomiting. We get admitted to the hospital they give my poor very sick little man an IV and start him on a large list of meds. Drake usually will take meds by mouth very good well we had to fight him just to get him to take Motrin. We had a very long long long night of crying, vomiting and trying to get mommy to take the IV out of his hand. So Come to find out the very next morning my family doctor comes into our room and listens to Drake's chest and looks at his x-rays and tell me he is sorry but Drake does not have pneumonia its only acute bronchitis. LOVELY!! Then tells us he also has an ear infection along with a bacterial infection. We had to stay for the IV because Drake would not eat or drink anything until Wednesday and he still really didn't want to eat then. So after 3 days in the hospital we finally got home. I never want to go back there ever again and neither does Drake!

With one long weekend behind us Drake is back at school and after calling to check on him I am not sure that he will make it all day because they say he is very whinny and wants to be held. I really miss my little man after getting to spend almost every waking moment with him for the past 9 days and never leaving his side, I think that I would much rather be at home in the bed with him. I now have a great Sinus infection and I think my head might explode at anytime now..... hopefully it will be goon soon.

On the the weigh in -
I thought that I would let you all know that we are holding steady at 138 and have not lost anymore. Well I might have before I went into the hospital but that hospital food in McGehee is really GOOD!!! So I will give it a while and I might start back on the diet but not really sure if I want to.

Tata for now!!

Not even going to try it........

2009-02-09T08:05:00.003-06:00

So for the past 2 weeks I have had these really terrible headaches and couldn't get them to stop so I figured that it might be my diet so I stopped dieting last week. Well needless to say they never stopped. So we know that its not my lack of eating that is making my head hurt so terribly bad that I want to cut my head off. I have almost come to the conclusion that it is my EYES, YIKES!!! I hate the eye doctor almost as much as I hate the dentist! I know that sounds crazy but I hate glasses and I object to wearing them. In the past I have been told to wear glasses and got them and couldn't wear them because they made me sick to my stomach. I am going to give it until Wednesday and if the headaches are not gone I am going to the doctor 1st then I will go to the eye doctor ONLY if necessary!

So to get to the point I am not going to weigh in because I don't want to know what I have undone. LOL!!

Oh and I got a new DOG she is a 5 month old Boykin Spaniel, she is so sweet and so cute. Below is a picture of what she looks like until I can get her to sit still long enough to get her picture.

(she really look exactly like this dog)

Birthday Parties.....

2009-02-03T11:04:00.000-06:00

Party at Granny and Papa's House!

Party at Our house!
Sorry I have been kinda lazy and really didn't feel like uploading each photo so I made these little collages.

YIKES!!!!

2009-02-02T13:47:00.003-06:00

UGH out of all the weeks I have done my very best this past week and I only lost one stinkin pound!!!! I eat less than 1000 most days and crap if that didn't help. But it will be okay. I will get there one day!

Start weight: 148
last week : 138
This Week: 137
total loss: 11 pds.

Tired...and a little bit grumpy....

2009-01-28T10:27:00.003-06:00

Okay Okay I know that I am behind. SORRY!!!!
So for this weigh in.....................

Start weigth: 148
last week: 141
This week: 138
Total Loss: 10 pds

Crap thats only 3 pds. Not far from the 4 to 5 mark, but still not what I hoped for.
Hopefully I will do better in the next couple of weeks.
Goal weight 125 to 130 not much more to go. Hopefully when its gone I can maintain it and keep it off.
Ta Ta for now..........c ya real soon!

2nd WEEK of the DIET....

2009-01-19T09:38:00.003-06:00

Start weight: 148pds
Week 1: 143 pds
Week 2: 141 pds
Total loss: 7pds

So this is not great but its not bad considering my son had 3 birthday parties this weekend!! LOL!! And I know you all are thinking did she eat cake everyday?? The answer is no I only ate cupcakes and cookies Sunday. And man were them some good cookies. Last week was okay but I think I can do better, matter of fact I know that I can do better. I plan to lose at least 4 or 5 pounds this week alone. So heres to planning if all goes well:
Monday:
breakfast: water(I was not hungry)
lunch: 100cal. popcorn and water
dinner: steamed veggies with water and maybe a turkey sandwich.
Tuesday:
breakfast: toast and water and maybe some coffee depends on how bad my night is!
Lunch: turkey sandwich and water
dinner: Baked potato plain with salad and water

I will have to let you know about Wednesday and Thursday when it gets closer! Some people say 1000 calories is not enough but if you look at what you eat and make sure you don't eat everything you see just because its there you will do okay. Not to say this has been easy for me because I could so go for a large bowl of cheese dip right now, but I have had to just tell myself as Reba would say it "LETITGO!!"

1 LONG weekend...

2009-01-19T07:56:00.002-06:00

This weekend was a killer.
Friday I took off to clean house for the party Sunday pickup the cake for Saturdays party make cupcakes for Drake's class at school then go to the school have the party and come home to rest.
Saturday I got up cleaned what we messed up the night before and went to Crossett to pick-up the cupcakes for Sunday's party. Then we had a party at my Mothers house with just the family. It was a lot of fun and Drake was too funny opening all of his gifts.
Then on to Sunday we get up at 7am and play play play until its time to start getting ready then it was go go go. Drake had a great birthday and got lots of great toys from his friends. I will post pictures later just have to load them on to the computer. The weather man must have read my blog from the other day because it was beautiful outside.

Now the kid is sick and we are going to the doctor today!! YAY ME!!

OMG.........

2009-01-15T09:47:00.003-06:00

It is so COOOLD!!!!!!!!! I kinda think that the weather man knows when I am planning a party or something cause every time it is like super cold and raining or snowing. I planned to get married in February cause we had not gotten snow or ice here in ages and then BAM BAM- it snows and sleets at the same time. Then for Drake's 1st B-day it is suppose to be nice outside and the day of the party the wind would nearly blow you down and it felt like it was 30 below. UGH..................

And now for the 2nd Birthday party. . . it has been rather nice for the past few weeks and now we get close to the party and BAM...insta COLD!!! I mean what the Heck DUDE can you not predict some warm weather and let it at least not be super cold for just that day. I am super glad that I don't live up north because I really hate cold weather, I would rather it be spring time all year long but with out the flowers and trees blooming....wait....maybe I would rather it be fall year round cause then everything is dying and my allergies would not act up as badly!!
Neways!!!
TA TA for now...............

I looked at the scale.....

2009-01-12T07:58:00.002-06:00

and what did I see a 143 staring back at me!!! Go me!!!! So I will tell you this much this diet crap is hard for me but it is working. I did really good all week long until Friday night we went out to eat with some friends. I ate rather well I think I had grilled catfish and baked potato plain and a diet coke. But man did I want a HUGE FAT STEAK!!!!! Then Saturday I went out to eat with Mrs. Stephanie to eat Big Banjo Pizza and if you have ever had Big Banjo pizza you know its the best pizza ever. LOL!!! Then I cleaned house all day long and was not aware of the time when Gary called at 6:30 and wants to know whats for supper I pause and he then says SONIC. Crap here I go again so I failed that night too and ate from sonic. So as you can tell I was expected to step and the scale and it say to me Fat A$$ what in the world did you eat........but it didn't I think it might even have said a Cheer for me. LMAO!!! But I got back on track Sunday and I am doing good so far.

Start Weight: 148pds
1st week weight loss: 5pds
weight at week 1: 143

Crap I just hope that I can keep this up!!!

Day 3 of the Diet............

2009-01-07T07:49:00.005-06:00

Well so far so good! Things have been hard but I really have been saying NO to so many foods that I would love to just gobble up. I know it sounds crazy but I have been making sure that I eat less salt and that kinda helps as well on the weight loss. I almost drank a DR pepper yesterday cause I felt like I was going to die of thirst but I made it with my water. Don't get me wrong I love to drink water but sometimes you just feel like its not enough. Back when I was prego my kidney doctor told me that I needed to drink like 8 12oz glasses a day and WOW I tried it and man is that a lot of water. I might be able to drink 3 or 4 glasses a day but that is pushing it. I truly feel good about what I am doing and hope that it works out for me. So I will update again by Friday and then the dreaded weigh in on Monday morning.........
See ya soon!!
And BTW thanks for the support comments!

Diet...Diet...and some exercise.........

2009-01-05T08:00:00.003-06:00

So its DIET time for me, well more like exercise time. I am starting as of today to exercise and diet. My diet will consist of 1000 calories a day drinking only water and diet drinks. This means no more Juice and that really hurts cause I loooovvveee me so juice. I walked 1 mile this morning and plan to stick at this for about 2 weeks then I will start walking 2 miles. While shopping this weekend for more healthy foods I did not realize just how many calories I take in everyday. I would have to say anywhere form 1500 to 2500 calories if not more and that is not too bad but I really am going to have to keep a watch on this.

Okay for my Stats:

I am: 5ft 7in

current weight: 148lbs (and yes that is right, I tried taking a pic of the scale but it was like super flash and you can't tell what it says, SORRY!!)

BMI: 23.2 (which is normal for my height)

Pant size: depending on the brand can range form 8 to 10 and dress pants 10 to 12(Why is that your dress pant have to be so much bigger?)

GOAL WEIGHT: 125-130 lbs

I will tell you that since I was about 17 I have always weighed about 135 after I started dating Gary I put on the HAPPY weight of about 10 pds. I lost most of that about two years after Gary and I were together but then put it back on quite quickly. I weighed 148 when I got prego with Drake and when I came out of the Hospital from having him I weighed 150. So for me that is not to bad. My true goal with this is to truly tone up my body and lose some of these thighs and get back to my fit boby I used to have.

So here is to HAPPY DIETING for me!!!

2008 Year in Pictures......

2008-12-31T10:18:00.000-06:00

So I thought I would share with you all some of my favorite pictures of Drake from 2008!!! ENJOY!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

New Years Resolutions.................

2008-12-30T14:10:00.003-06:00

First of all let me tell you that its not fun trying to put into order all of the things that you need to get done and you know only about 2 of them will get accomplished.
So here we go.....

1. Start more learning activities at home with Drake(he does a lot at school but I need to boost him along, but for an almost 2 yr old he sure talks a bunch.)

2. Clean out some Major UN-needed JUNK from inside my house.

3. RE-Decorate Drake's Room and put up his Full size bed(now I have to get a new bedspread....something to think about or even blog about)

4. Loose about 15 pounds, maybe not even that much just need to tone up the fat I have! LOL

5. I am going to start walking with my sister on Jan. 5Th and I would really like to stick with this. This might help me loose the weight.

So wish me well!

Along with the Husband, Micah and Brian I went HOG hunting this was a new experience for me all the way around. I have almost been every kind of hunting for this area of Arkansas except Turkey and Hog hunting. Now I am down to just Turkey hunting and I will have that under my belt before long. So we find the fresh hog track and let the dogs out......sniff...sniff some more....pee on every tree they see....sniff some more. Just just when I got to thinking this is going to take forever.....BAM I hear barking and a whole lot of squealing!!! YIKES I thought....So we run up to where the dogs are and they have a small hog caught. So the guys are pulling off the dogs which was not an easy chore and I am chashing a stupid dog trying to catch it but being that I am not his owner he won't let me touch him so they then say Haley hold this HOG.....and I said "Stupid Husband say what! and are you sure about that!" But I got over it and did what was needed, it was really funny to cause it was squealing and I was laughing cause it wanted away badly! Then I got to let it go and that little pig stood there for a moment and then it ran like a bolt of black lighting. Ahhhh the joys of Hunting!! I can truly say that was kinda fun. Then we load the dogs up and off we go again. More hog track so we let them out again, and the find some hogs but they have crossed water so we can't get to them except for wading to them. Finally they make them come across the water to us and man there were 3 big hogs. We could not get a shot of at them but man them hogs was BIG!!! Then we lost the dogs for like 3 hours- i finally told them I got to go home and get Drake. They found the dogs like 20 minutes after I left. So all and all I had a really fun time and I will be doing that again!
TA TA For Now.......

Shopping...

2008-12-09T11:56:00.002-06:00

So I have come to really dislike Christmas becasue of all the shopping that you have to do. I went to Wal Mart the other day just to get regular household stuff and was in the check out line for like 15 minutes. UGH!!!!! On any other month out of the year I would be checked out in like 2 minutes. So I have really hate shopping in stores at christmas time. So I thought about doing most of my shopping online this year and soon found out that I didn't like to cost of shipping so BACK to the stores I go. I have most all of Drake's christmas bought except for a few more things to finish him off. But I have not even started on GARY!! YIKES.... What do you get a man that gets what he wants all the time and has almost every fishing bait that there is to buy. So now I have to THINK of something to get him!! LOVELY this could take till christmas!!!!! Neways I will soon retrive my Camera from Gary's TRUCK and hopefully get yall some new pics of what has been going Down at the Beatty House!!

TaTa For Now............

2008-11-18T08:45:00.006-06:00

Delahey Two-Seat Hardwood Glider!

See I don't want much......

Daycare...

2008-11-12T13:50:00.003-06:00

So today I decided it was time for me to call the daycare and express my feelings about the new 2 year old room that Drake is in. See he has only been in there for a little over a week now. And our conversation went a little something like this, I cried and why I really don't know. I guess its because I was so upset about the thought of my baby boy being in this new room and being so unhappy that he is upset and crying all day long or maybe the fact that when my little sister Angela picks him up at 3:30 that he cries Milk Milk Milk the whole way home until he gets a cup because he is so thirsty. I have begun to wonder it they don't give him anything to drink all day as thirsty as he is. See I have always picked him up at 4:30 so when she started picking him up this week it really made me wonder because he would wine when I got him but I made sure he had something to drink before we left. So Monday when Angela got him to her house she said he was so thirsty that he drank 2 full cups in a matter of minutes. Would you say the child was thirsty? But too I had a teacher tell me that he cried all day the other day and that she went in and got him to calm him down, now that is just sad that his own teachers can't make him happy or maybe even that they just won't even try to make him happy. The lady on the other end was very sympathetic with me and she understands but now when she talks to the director it may not make any difference. I really hope that they understand where I am coming from and really think about the fact that Drake is not quite 2 yet and that it will take sometime for him to learn to adjust to the new room. I hope it does not take long because I really don't think that I will be able to handle this for a whole year.

So by the time I got thru typing the top part of this the Teacher in Drake's Room has already called apologizing for everything. She says that she should have sat down and explained the ways of the new room. She told me that Drake has been doing great this week and that she understands where I am coming from. She also told me that he does get his cup as he wants it and that he does not cry all of the time. I think that some part of the was just to make me happy but I will just have to wait and see how things go well.

Shoes...shoes....shoes

2008-11-06T16:02:00.004-06:00

Shoes trouble in the Boy world.... So Rosjuane and I are having troubles with finding cute shoes for the boys. Help us out if you have any suggestions on where to find cute shoes for little boys. I am also in search of some tennis shoes but crap his little shoes cost just as much as mine and I can't pay $45.00 for some shoes he is just going to grow out of in 4 months. Tell me what you think about these below....

These are a pair that i bought Drake the other day

I really like this pair but not sure if I want to purchase them.

and i also like these but are they to close to the one i just bought? Or will we even get any wear out of them? I am just wondering.

Rich Schools vs. Poor Schools

2008-11-04T07:55:00.004-06:00

Okay so Fox 16 did a piece on Rich schools vs. Poor Schools. I went to school in McGehee and it is by no means a poor school as far as Teaching ability goes. I believe that I got the proper education and that our facilities were just fine. I know that maybe they say we should spend money on our buildings but they are in pretty good shape and they did several improvements over the past years. Now you have to remember that I have been out of school since 2001 and I have only been back a couple of times for things like homecoming ceremonies and to see some of my old teachers. My little sister and brother both go to school in McGehee and they are both really smart kids well Michael is Angela is kinda dingy(LOL) but she is a good student.

Let me know what you think about this. Does it really effect our children's learning if they go to a so called POOR SCHOOL?

Halloween

2008-11-03T10:37:00.002-06:00

These photos were taken at the fall festival on 10/29/08. My husband had my camera in his truck which was at home but he had the keys in his pocket and he was in the deer woods. So I had to steal these photos from Rosjuane! We had lots of fun well so to speak, there were way to many unsupervised children there for me. I never realized just how rude kids are these days until we went up there that night. I tell you what if my child ever acts like that we are going to have problems.

Our little dinos aren't they so cute!!

Photos STOLEN from Rosjuane!!! LOL

My lil painter!

2008-10-27T12:18:00.002-05:00

Drake went to his Nana's house this past saturday and they painted a pumpkin! It was kinda cute how he liked to paint himself more than he did the pumpkin! He had so much fun when I picked him up he passed out on the way home which was like 7:00pm. But needless to say he did wake up at 1:30 that night wanting to play finally passing back out at around 4.

To my long lost Friend Rosjuane....

2008-10-20T14:51:00.003-05:00

I know that you think that I am avoiding you, but I am so not! I have been so super busy this past week and weekend. My mom is now completely moved into her new house so I won't be wasting so much time over there. We that's a lie because they are like super close to my house now and I go see my Mom like every chance I get. LOL!!! And sorry I forgot to call you back on Saturday, I had 3 nephews and 1 niece to watch all at the same time plus Drake and man was I tired when they all left. That is another story we will have to catch up on later. But I do still LOVE you and Hope to get the boys together this week to play. Sorry I have been so busy. And no I am not avoiding you! I will call you soon like tonight....I PROMISE.

Crazy Week!

2008-10-02T16:10:00.002-05:00

Well this crazy week is almost over and man am I glad! I now feel 100% better so I know that the meds are working! Now I just hope that everyone else stays healthy. I know we are going to have a very busy weekend because I am going to be trying to help my parents get there new house painted and help them get a few other thing done as well. I hope to get to take Drake to see the cows this weekend but his Daddy has to work so I am not really sure we will get to do that. Also we are planning to attend Gary's 10 year high school reunion next weekend and try to be involved in the Owlfest here in McGehee. Its kinda a new tradition that we are trying to start here in McGehee. This will be the 2nd year for it. I will try to post a schedule of the events if anyone would like to attend. They are having a really good band Saturday night. Anyways go to go just wanted to let everyone know that we are doing better!

I will post that schedule tomorrow!!

Doctor....

2008-09-29T16:17:00.002-05:00

Well I confirmed what I already knew that I have a Sinus Infection! DUH!!! So I got a shot and some more Drugs and now all we can do is wait and hope that I get better and stay that way. Oh by the way did I tell you all I feel like CRAP!! LOL =)
Anyways going home for the day and hopefully for a good night sleep. Ready for a new day and a not so stopped up head.

CRAP!!

2008-09-29T08:45:00.002-05:00

I now have another Sinus Infection! YAY ME!! This will be the second one in a three week period of time. I have already had two rounds of antibiotics and a whole box of Mucinex D. I felt better for about 4 to 5 days and now BAM its back!!!! I am going to the doctor today in hopes to get a shot and make this crap go away for good. I am tired of feeling like poo. Pray for me that my doctor will give me shot to knock this out of me! Even though I really don't want a shot I will take what I can get as long as it gets me better.

A lesson learned!

2008-09-27T10:45:00.004-05:00

They say life is like a box of chocolates you never know what your going to get. Well for the past few months I have tried to make life better and do things for the good of life and my family. Well I recently learned that doing the good things always seem to come back and bite me in the A$$!!! I have always been an understanding, loving person and always made the best out of what God has given me and lived life to its fullest. Well I won't let my garud down ever again. I have been taught a very valuable lesson on being to nice after someone has stabbed me in the back to the whole world and made me out to be the bad guy. I am not the bad guy and I believe everyone knows that. If you know me at all you know that I am a very caring, loving person and a great friend. I love to make new friends and be with my family as much as I can. I know that family is the most important thing in life but sometime its just best if you stay in the back and let the world move around you! Life is full of unxepected ups and down and I think that i have been given the worst of the downs. The Best part of life for me has been that it has given me 2 of the most wonder full men that I will ever meet and I love the both so very much. As far as those chocolates go I will eat everyone and make the best out of what Life has to give. So when you think that life can get you low always remember there will be better days.

Whas at.......

2008-09-25T14:31:00.004-05:00

Gary went Squirrel hunting the other day and he brought on inside for Drake to see. All that Drake could say was "Whas at" that means whats that. It was so stinkin cute! I think that the Dog wanted the squirrel worse than Drake did.

I think I want to touch it Daddy!

Okay let me hold! He was so funny with it! He really was kinda scared of it until he touched and found out it won't bite.

A work in Progress!

2008-09-19T19:42:00.002-05:00

So as you can see I am trying to make this Blog look a little more inviting! I hope that you all will like what I am doing. I will be working on it when I get a minute here and there while I am not chasing this little monster around the house! I hope that everyone has a good week end and check back I will be posting pictures of Drake playing in a water hole. They are too cute!!

Cheezzzin!!

2008-09-12T15:57:00.002-05:00

I told him to show me his trophy and this is what he did!

Behind there he is saying Cheese! It was so Darn Cute!
Then he thought it would be better to eat it!

2008-09-10T07:33:00.002-05:00

Trip Friends!

2008-08-26T10:08:00.002-05:00

Kyle P. and Sara Whitney
Nick and Marinda

These are two other couples that met us up there for the float trip. The pictures are not all that great but it was dark and the night lights were blurring out my pictures. So they looked better in B & W!

On our way to the spring river!

2008-08-26T09:37:00.007-05:00

Okay so that everyone knows I was really not excited to be going on this trip to the Spring river because Drake was running fever most of last week and on Friday before we left he had 101.7 that was lovely I had to leave my baby not feeling good and go almost 5 hours away from him. Not what I really wanted to do. I got car sick on the way up so we stopped and got some dramamine and that fixed the problem. Thank god that worked, I am not a good rider if I am in the very back of a ride. So we finally got there and man was I ever tired. We were getting up at 7am the next morning to float and I didn't go to sleep until like 11 or so that night.

The Indian Lady at the front desk was making questionable cupcakes when we arrived and Heather had her Bring some to me beings it was my birthday and all ....... ck um out the were not all that great let me tell you. Then we ventured out to the pool to chill out before bed time and see this truck pulls up with this hugh RACK on the front of it and we all fell out laughing... as you can tell its not all that hugh. Why you would do this to your vehicle! Our crew got a good laugh out of it though!

??Cupcakes or pancakes???
Hugh Rack that even still had the fur on it!!

Holly & I on the way up...

Gary thinking... (I guess)
Justin was cheesin!

The Driver Jesse... get your eyes on the road!!
Heather the other navigator!

All in all it was a good time and I felt kinda bad the next morning!!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

2008-08-22T09:36:00.001-05:00

Just wanted to let all my blogger friends that

IT IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!

YAY ME!!!

Wild river country here we come!!

2008-08-08T15:39:00.002-05:00

So I have thought hard about taking Drake to Wild River Country for the past week and I finally decided that we are going! We are meeting my brother Richard and his girlfriend Morgan up there and I am taking Angela and Michael my other to siblings. This ought to be a fun trip. I really hope that Drake is not in a bad mood cause I really hope that this is fun for him. Wish me luck and pray that we come back with out any broken bones.

I will uploaded some pics as soon as possible of this fun filed weekend!!!

OH MAN!! OH MAN!!

2008-08-05T10:29:00.003-05:00

What a night I had last night- one of my babies(well not my baby) Cruz White was playing last night in a folding chair and somehow cut the end of his finger off!! HE IS 2!!!! Poor little guy.... So last night I drove super fast to the hospital to see Allie (his mom and my bff) and make sure they were okay. She tells me they are being shipped to Children's Hospital and that it did not look good for them. So needless to say I was not happy that the poor little guy was going to loose the end of his finger and he is only 2, and I did not get very much sleep worring about him. Cruz was a little trooper though he was smiling when I walked into the door at the hospital last night and wanted to know where Drake was at. They are BFF too!! He was all excited his hand was all wrapped up and that he had an IV in the other one... no really he was excited! He showed them to me and then he showed me his new Cars shirt that he got. That little boy was suprizingly being good thru the whole thing. I heard this AM that they were released and they fixed his little finger up and put a cast on it and sent him on his way. I will be getting pics of his little finger so that everyone can see it and how strong this little guy is!!! Hope for the best and that it does not get infected.

And on a GREATER note Allie is having a GIRL!!!!! YAY
We are so excited!!! 2 boys and finally a GIRL!!

Wll see I am really hurt that they put up the eye candy in the house I will be really sad if they vote out Jessie cause he is HOT!!!!! But so far things in the house have been nothing but DRAMA- I like it at the end when everyone has really made friends and the DRAMA creators are gone. But I would kinda like to see a twist! It would make it much more interesting...

Here are some pics of Jessie =))))))))))))))))))))))))

2008-07-14T11:05:00.003-05:00

Yippie- we have started off a new season of Big Brother and man am I excited! I have attached my favorite site to read so that I can keep up on all of the drama in the house.

http://bbdish.blogspot.com/

So my FAV for this season is -

Jerry

And

APRIL

even though I was alittle upset by her actions with Ollie on the first night I think that April is going to be lots of fun. I beleive that it will be fun to watch Libra, Steven and Dan go at each other about their beliefs. But all in all I hope this will be a good season with BB10 last season was a great one and I hope this one tops last season!

OMG!!!

2008-07-10T10:21:00.002-05:00

IT WILL COME!!!!! OR I WILL BE NEED A NEW JOB!!!!

YAY ME!!

2008-06-24T08:55:00.005-05:00

So back in Janruary My Boss gave Kristy(another coworker) and I a contest. If I wrote $12,500 worth of new business from Janruary 11th to June 30th I would get an iPod touch.Well see I really don't listen to music much, becasue I don't have the time with Drake. So I asked him if he would by some chance get me a camera instead becasue you know mine got stolen back in March sometime. He said YES!! So I know its not a huge nice camera but is perfect for me.

Its a Kodak Easyshare 12MP w/5x optical zoom High Def. still & video! I have missed so many great pictures of Drake because I have not had a camera and I am really excited about this. I have a great Boss and he really takes care of me. I told him he really owed me 2 cameras because I wrote over $24,000 worth of new business but he is not going for that. Believe me I tried!! LOL

So check back soon and I will hopefully have new pics for you all with my new camera!!!

new updates..

2008-06-12T14:04:00.003-05:00

As you can tell we have been doing alot of swimming this summer and

And he is such a camera hound!
saying cheese to Rosjuane!

Other than that we have been hanging out at the house playing outside alot. Drake is learning to talk alot now and really learning to tell me how it's going to be! Boys!!!! I can luckily say that we have been illness free since April 19th!!! YAY!!!! Knock on Wood that this does not come back to bite me in the butt! The tubes have done wonders for his little ears. I am very proud and thankful that the little man is staying well. I hope that you all have not given up on me I know that I have been a terrible blogger lately but not having a camera really puts a damper on things. I am just not a writer of daily town and world gossip. I am going to try to do better though. I hope to get a new camera over the next month but I have had no extra money here lately with the EXTREME gas prices lately. Things just never seem to go my way.

XOXOXOX
