Babbling Boo Look Alike

So this is Babbling Boo doll from Monsters INC movie. I have had so many people tell me Kierra looks like her. So I thought you know what she does and she even babbles and laughs like Boo. I got a kick out of it so I got her the doll off e-bay. The doll makes noises when you push on her belly.OMG she does look and sound like her. :) Cute Huh?

OH man ring in December and get ready for Christmas and Kierra's first birthday. I am sad my baby is almost one. It only seems like yesterday I had her. This time last year I was miserable.

On Christmas I laid on the couch because if I sat up my spinal fluid would leak to my brain(Thanks to my epidural).

Then I rang in the new year in PEDS ICU getting ready to send my baby to have heart surgery. Look how far she has come from a failing heart.

Happy Thanksgiving

Jackson wore this for Thanksgiving (his shirt says ladies man)

Happy belated Turkey Day. We had a great day. Eddie and Sarah and the kids came over. Sarah also brought her brother and his girlfriend and their new baby. We had tons and tons of food. Brian made the turkey and it was excellent.

Friday I did the crazy Black Friday Shopping. We took Kierra and she threw up all over in Walmart. It was packed with people and she puked all over. We were so embarrassed.

Today I ran errands again and even got my Christmas cards sent out!!! Are ya proud? Next weekend we are going to cut down our tree.

I HATE DEALING WITH MEDICAL STUFF!!!

Look at her hair. I love it she is way too cute for words.

These were her staged first birthday pictures for her invitations. She loved the chocolate cake :)

So I have decided I am sick and tired of dealing with sick children, pharmacies, and health insurance. You knew I had to break someday and today was the day :) I had to take Kierra for her cough back to the Dr and she was prescribed more medicine that my insurance does not cover and the pharmacy people were rude and my boss is on my case for too many missed days due to sick kids and I am out money due to leave without pay days. AHHHHHHHHHHHH

OK thanks for listening to me complain I needed to vent.
On to a happy note its almost Black Friday and I love to go shopping that will make me feel better and we get a four day weekend for Thanksgiving YAY!!!

Way to go Sky :)

"but i why cant I mom?"

So lets see... I will catch ya up. Ummm Skyler was sick Monday throwing up and Jackson has bronchitis and croup. Yesterday Kierra got her first ear infection and she has been crankier then ever.

Good news though Skyler made the honor roll!!! YAY!!! He is doing so good in school.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the kids saying "HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPPA WE LOVE YOU!!!!"

So I have the FUNNIEST story tonight. I hear Jackson in the laundry room and I said "What are you doing Jackson?" He says "Me pretending me have big boob!" I was like huh and this is what I found him doing with my bra.

"Me can't get these boobs on mom."

Oh My Goodness nothing surprises me anymore!!!

My dad is reallllly ollld today :)

So I have the funniest story tonight

T for TROUBLE

This is how Kierra goes down the stairs. She slides down on her tummy and laughs and laughs.

This girl has no fear.

Kierra kisses her baby

Getting in the pantry and throwing everything on the floor.

Kierra is TROUBLE with a capital T. She is into the cupboards now. She also likes to unplug things and play with cords.

We did a ton of shopping today. I took Aslan and Skyler to Chili's and we shared a heavenly Chocolate Molten Cake. Yum. Skyler lost his wallet while we were at the mall. He only had a little money in it but he was very upset. We think he set it down somewhere and somebody walked off with it. Poor Guy.

Gotta love Target I got all three kids a Halloween costume for next year for $1.49 each.

Kierra has been carrying the baby doll in the picture all over (even while we went shopping). She keeps kissing it over and over.

Jackson is staying the night with Eddie tonight and was excited for that.

Life is CRAZY!!! I feel as though I could end up in a mental hospital by the end of the year :) .

We are on the go and never stopping.

Skyler has basketball practice twice a week, games once a week and Kierra and Jackson do therapy twice a week. So everyday of the week I go to work at 7am and I don't get home till between 6 and 9 pm every night. I am trying to think of creative ways to live out of my car and not eat fast food for dinner every night. Any ideas feel free to share.

Some of my friends took me to Azteca for a belated birthday dinner last Tuesday. We had a blast. They bought me tons of hilarious getting old stuff like reading glasses, huge old lady underwear and bra, joint medication, age defying lotion, shower cap, and much more. The real kicker was a moo moo previously owned by one of the girls. I wore it most of the night. I got lots of looks. It was a blast.
