Lots of things have been going on..

The weather has been awesome.. Its starting to show signs of spring.. I'm so excited.. Bring it on Spring.. I'm ready for you. I signed Kobe up for soccer this Spring. He had to decide between that or Karate.. I'm glad he chose soccer. We have soccer running through our blood. I played til Jr. High, my sister played up through HS, my brother played, cousins played.. its just meant to be ;)

We added new family members this past month. My sister in law gave birth Feb 17th  to a beautiful little girl Ella Marie, she weighed 8lbs 6 oz and was 22 1/2 in long she is soo precious.. Jason and I went to visit her and her 3 proud big brothers last Friday and I got to snuggle her.. according to my husband afterwords I was a "baby hog" lol oops.. The other little bundle of joy was born Feb 20th. My cousin's wife gave birth to Miss Kamrin Lynn she weighed 6lbs 10oz.. she is so precious.. I love her so much already.. So many babies.. this does not help a woman with baby fever...

My poor sister has been in and out of the hospital for the past 4 weeks. She has been having severe pain in her stomach. Its been awful for her. Her white blood count has been sky high. Its been over 20,000 when its supposed to be in the 9,500 range.. after several CT scans and blood work they are pretty sure it is Crohn's Disease. Hopefully she can now be on the road to recovery and get to a point where she can control these flare ups. Its breaks my heart seeing her in so much pain and in the mess shes in.

In other news theres some plans in our future that could be great for us. We shall see how that goes but I'm not going to speak of it yet just in case plans fall though. lets just say its a move and its OUT of Daviess Co.. never thought I would say that ;)

Things that make you smile..

I was looking on FB and a lady posted a pic of a child in a child harness.. it made me have a flash back and made me smile.. but ya know those "child leashes"? lol When I was a kid I thought moms were SO mean for putting their kids in those. Until I had a WILD child LOL. I still dont like them but I did use it... ONCE and only ONCE lol.. we were going to a corn maze and Kobe was at the age where he didn't want you to hold him but if you didn't hold him he would run until he couldnt run anymore lol so I thought I would purchase one of those harnesses mainly for myself. To put my mind at ease knowing my child wouldnt run off and get lost in the corn. So I went to walmart and they had updated them. They were more "cool" looking and not so "pet" looking lol Kobe's was a monkey who looked like he was getting a piggy back ride from Kobe.. and the tail was the "leash" part lol. I thought I can do this.. it doesn't look so bad.. So we get to the corn maze. We get Kobe out of his carseat (he wasn't even 2 yet) put the harness on him and what does he do!?! he gets on ALL 4s and starts barking like a DOG!!!! I about died!!! Needless to say he humiliated me and I was served my KARMA right then and there lol... He never wore it again lol..

Happy Birthday Kobe Lee!

Wow 6!?! I can't believe the precious baby boy I had on Valentine's Day back in 2006

 is 6 years old today.. Its a very emotional day for me. Every year when its "that time" for him to turn another year older it saddens me. I have a bit of pride though knowing I, me, ONLY me raised him to be the awesome kid he is now.. with NO help from his "father".. I am very proud of the child he has become. This morning he was full of hugs and cuddles. As I read him emails, texts, Facebook posts from people, some who don't even "know" him he loved everyone of them and was soo sweet  in thanking them. He was very concerned that HE didn't have a Valentine present for ME.. I assured him that was more than fine because HE was in fact my Valentine present every year.. and that was MORE than enough.. I got him his Valentine's present out because I couldn't wait until after school lol so I brought it in the living room and he loved it.. Its great that something so simple can make my child's day.

I've been looking at pics on the computer and in Kobe's photo case and I've be too emotional. I miss those old days I hate that my child is growing up too fast.. its seriously makes me cry. I want to go pick him up from school right now and just cuddle him lol. So I was comparing the past birthday pictures and the change is crazy..

I heard SO many times "enjoy them while they are young. They grow too fast" its soooo true..
Sunday afternoon we had Kobe's party at 2:00pm. it was Dinosaur themed. I got a lot of cute ideas off of Pinterest.. Kobe loved every thing I did.. it made me feel good that this was making him so happy. After his party when we were eating Dinner he told me that he wanted another Dino party next year because it was the BEST birthday ever.. :)

The Party was a success!

Oh wow!

Yesterday when Kobe came home from school I told him he wasn't aloud to do anything until he cleaned his room.. he JUST cleaned it Saturday morning and it was near a disaster again.. Momma wasn't happy so I told him Sunday night that he was going to clean it after school. So when he walked in he went straight for the PlayStation.. I reminded him about his room.. he moaned and groaned but went in there and started cleaning.. whining the whole time about how he worked so hard at school and he just needed a break. How tired his muscles were and he couldn't do this.. He begged and begged me to come help him.. I knew this wasn't going to be an easy thing because he had been up since 2:30 AM... Yes you read that right.. my child has trouble sleeping at night even with the help of melatonin.. I even bumped it up to 6mg and STILL has trouble sleeping... So he came through the living room to the kitchen bringing one piece of paper to the trash at a time.. and then was fussin because he was sick of walking back and forth lol... I told him to get a walmart bag out of the pantry so he didn't have to walk back and forth.. he refused and kept walking back and forth lol Then came in crying because his art box (my in-laws got him a box FULL of art supplies that he plays with almost EVERY day) wouldn't close (he wore the lid out) and was getting him very frustrated.. so I told him we'd just throw it away and get him a new one.. You would have thought I said we were going to cut off his arm by the way he looked at me... I said, "Kobe, why don't you listen to me? I try to give you tips on cleaning your room and you won't listen." he walks away and says in this sarcastic Andrea voice.. "Your right Mom, your always right, I'm always wrong, sheesh.." I laughed only because that was soo ME... then I wanted to cry because that was sooooooooooo me.. wow I need to think before I speak sometimes haha.. Its proof kids are like sponges.. they soak everything in even when you think they aren't...

Weekend Rewind

Saturday afternoon Olivia (my niece) had her first Basket ball game.. They call it "Bitty Ball" the kids are tiny lol I think there were some 3 yr olds out there even lol.. It is VERY comical.. Olivia scored a basket.. of course I missed seeing it because I was telling Kobe to sit still lol.. but she did such a good job... But if Aunt Annie had it my way she'd be in dance and gymnastics lol.. I'll cry if I have a tomboy lol.. My sister got her wish when she said she didn't want a fru fru girl lol..

Then Sunday my cousin and his wife had a co-ed Baby "Sprinkle" kinda like a baby shower but it was a sprinkle.. although it was basically like a shower :) I LOVE baby showers... especially for baby girls.. because I want a little girl sooo bad.. and I have baby fever like craaaaaazy!! I got her this cute little outfit.. it had a pink shirt that is longer with zebra print leggings.. She got alot of precious things for her shower..

 My Aunt got her this precious dress from the Gap.. I LOVED it!! I could tell Whitney did too.. Isn't she so stinkin cute!!!

Here are some more pics from the weekend..

 This is how my son likes to look for things in the Laundry.. Yes he had to clean it up lol

 Big Lots.. has Crocs???? Since when?? I was shocked to see this... and look at that price... Bargain..

January?! Where are you going?!

I can't believe January is almost over.. Didn't we just start the new year? I never make new year resolutions because well... we all know how those last. But I always think what can I make as my resolution.. So I got to thinking and it was to be a better mom, be a better wife, get healthy.. I could careless if I look like this the rest of my life I just want to be healthy for my son and husband. They need me and I want to be around for them. I need to find a doctor.. a family doctor..  I've been using my gyno as my "family doctor" well who wants to go to their gyno THAT much.. not this girl LOL So I am on the search for a new doc. This search needs to be fast too because I've been having panic attacks again. Ugh those are the worst, very scary. Scratch that.. I just called and made an appointment with a doctor for Feb 15th. I'm kinda glad to have a family doctor again. I haven't had one since I was little. That was the best doctor ever.  So yay to getting that outta the way.

The weather here in good ol' southern Indiana has been CRAAAZY!! Typical Indiana weather, like ppl say "if you don't like Indiana weather, wait an hour and it will change" Friday (Jan 20th) we had rain with freezing temps which over night froze and caused everything to have a nice glassed over look. VERY SLICK! Of course we had to get out in that ice to take J-Bird to the eye doctor. We had no rock salt to throw down. Didn't even have extra table salt to put down for a quick fix. It was freezing cold.. in the lower 20s. But wait.. Sunday It was 53 out and chance of isolated tornadoes.. crazy huh! It stormed and stormed good.. we never did have any tornado threat. Thank the Good Lord, but it sure thundered and lightning like crazy.. we had an extra person in bed with us. That doesn't bother me one bit though kinda puts me more at ease knowing we are all together and safe and not scared.

We have made a final and when I said final I mean FINAL decision on Kobe's birthday party theme.. Dinosaurs is the theme whoop whoop.. this Momma is in full party planning mode. I have alot of great ideas underway. I found dinosaur invites at the dollar store for $1.00, I found dino goody bags on Ebay, 10 dino bags, dino erasers, dino crayons, dino tops (spinning things), dino activity paper and dino stickers all for $7.29 with FREE shipping!! Plates and napkins at Dollar Tree love that place! Can't wait to put this party together :)
