THERE IS USUALLY ABOUT 30 PICTURES ON THE CAMERA EVERY TIME HE CHECKS IT! WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY BUCKS YET, BUT I'M SURE WE WILL!

NOT SO GOOD WEEK!!

WE HAVE HAD A ROUGH WEEK AROND THE HUGHES' HOUSE!! AIDEN NEVER DID GET BETTER SO I ENDED UP TAKING HIM TO THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY AND HE HAD DOUBLE EAR INFECTIONS. SO HE IS TAKING ANTIBIOTICS TRYING TO GET THOSE CLEARED UP. ON THE WAY TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AUSTIN GOT SICK! I THOUGHT HE MAY HAVE JUST BEEN CAR SICK, BUT HE IS THROWING UP AGAIN TODAY! MOMMY HAS ALSO HAD THE STOMACH VIRUS, SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I'M READY FOR THIS TO END!!! I HAVE CLEANED AND TRIED TO DISENFECT THE WHOLE HOUSE,SO MABEY WE CAN GET RID OF THIS BUG!! I HATE TO SEE MY BABIES SICK!!!

OPEN HOUSE!!

WE HAD OPEN HOUSE LAST NIGHT AT THE BOY'S SCHOOL. WE GOT TO SEE EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEY MADE US THE SWEETEST CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS WITH THEIR LIL' HAND PRINTS TO HANG ON THE TREE! THE LIL' BLACK THING ON AUSTIN'S HEAD IS HIS SPIDER HAT THAT THEY MADE TOO!! WE ALSO GOT TO WATCH COUSIN GRIFFIN SING! HE'S IN THE 3 YEAR OLD CLASS AND THEY SANG WITH THE 4 YEAR OLDS!

GETTING INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT!!

THE BOYS HELPED ME MAKE SHOE BOXES FILLED WITH GOODIES FOR OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD. THE CHURCH WHERE THEY GO TO SCHOOL WAS DOING THIS, SO WE WANTED TO PARTICIPATE AND MAKE SOME OTHER KIDS AROUND THE WORLD HAPPY WHEN THEY GET THEIR SHOE BOX FULL OF TOYS AND CANDY! THEY REALLY ENJOYED FILLING THE BOXES UP AND THEN TAKING EVERYTHING BACK OUT OF IT! THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT RIGHT NOW, BUT ONE DAY THEY WILL AND I HOPE THEY WILL BE DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!!

FUNNY STORY!!!

OKAY, SO MY CELL PHONE HAS BEEN MISSING FOR A WEEK NOW! IT WENT MISSING ON WEDNESDAY AND I HAVE SEARCHED THE HOUSE AND CAR A HUNDRED TIMES LOOKING FOR IT! I WOULD CALL IT AND THEN RUN AROUND TRYING TO HEAR IT SO I COULD FIND IT. IT WOULD RING SO I KNEW IT WASN'T DEAD, BUT I NEVER HEARD IT. MY MOM SAID MABEY ONE OF THE BOYS TURNED IT ON SILENT. I THOUGHT, YEAH, THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. ANYWAYS, IT NEVER TURNED UP. I EVEN WENT BACK TO THE BP STAION WHERE AUSTIN AND I HAD BEEN EARLIER THAT DAY CLEANING MY CAR UP, BUT DIDN'T FIND IT THERE EITHER! SO, RJ BOUGHT ME A NEW ONE MONDAY, SO I WOULD AT LEAST HAVE A PHONE. I WAS UPSET BECAUSE MY PHONE HAD ALL MY PHONE NUMBERS IN IT. I GUESS I NEED TO WRITE THEM DOWN SOMEWHERE ELSE, IN CASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN! ANYWAYS, TODAY RJ CHECKED THE MESSAGE'S FROM OUR OLD NUMBER AND THIS LADY HAD CALLED TO TELL ME SHE HAD MY PHONE! I ASKED WHERE IN THE WORLD DID SHE FIND IT??? IT WAS AT THE BP STATION WHERE I CLEANED MY CAR UP, BUT THIS IS THE FUNNY PART! HER DADDY CLEANS OUT THE VACCUM THERE AND FOUND IT IN THE VACCUM CLEANER!!!!! CRAZY ME, SUCKED THE CELL PHONE UP WITH VACCUM!! I ACTUALLY DID WONDER IF MABEY THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, BUT I THOUGHT THERE IS NO WAY I DID THAT!! OH WELL, I GUESS YOUR MIND GOES WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS.......ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE:)!!!

UPDATES ON THE LIL' STINKERS!!

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE TO SAY I'M SO PROUD OF MY LIL' AUSTIN BECAUSE HE DID SO GOOD TODAY AT SCHOOL!! HE DIDN'T CRY EXCEPT FOR WHEN I DROPPED HIM OFF, BUT ONCE HE GOT INSIDE HE WAS FINE!! HE DIDN'T GO LAST WEEK BECAUSE HE GOT SICK ON THE WAY THERE AND THE WEEK BEFORE I HAD TO GO PICK HIM UP EARLY BECAUSE HE WAS NOT HAPPY!! SO MABEY WE ARE GETTING OUT OF THIS "CLINGY" STAGE!! AIDEN DIDN'T GET TO GO TODAY BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN SICK! IT STARTED ON MONDAY WHEN HE WAS THROWING UP ALL DAY AND THEN YESTERDAY HE RAN A FEVER ALL DAY. HE STILL HAD A FEVER THIS MORNING SO HE GOT TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH MOMMY! HE'S STILL NOT BACK TO HIS NORMAL SELF SO HOPEFULLY HE'LL BE FEELING BETTER SOON!! I MISS HIS SMILING FACE!!

WAITING TO SEE DOCTOR COGAN!!

YESTERDAY THE BOYS HAD THEIR ONE YEAR FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT WITH THE EYE DOCTOR. EVERYTHING WENT GOOD AND HE GAVE THEM AN A+ FOR THEIR VISIT. THEY WILL HAVE TO GO BACK IN A YEAR AND HALF TO HAVE THEM CHECKED AGAIN. HE DID SEE ALITTLE STIGMATISM IN BOTH OF THEIR EYES, BUT IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT RIGHT NOW. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL GET BETTER AND NOT WORSE, BUT WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE. OTHER THAN THAT HE SAID THEY LOOKED GREAT!!

HANDSOME LIL' BOYS!!
