well dang, I was going to sign up for the bikini santa helper anything else you need? I dont have mantle/rug/chair

darn. Guess I need to move some stuff in my garage too.

half of our kids ask for nothing and half ask for the world I always joke that one of my kids has the imagination of a wealthy child. I havent been brave enough to ask yet this yr. I do tell my kids santa will bring what he feels is best but there are so many children that need so much more then toys that he has a hard time bringing everything. I have told them to start making their lists...yikes, im scared! lol

aww thanks How could I not be when Im surrounded by so many other kind ppl

me too! Now that I have my 5th child I dont have as much time to actually get online but with fb I can share my drama, send pics, etc all via texts. haha

thanks everyone Im just enjoying every second. Like with my others I just love spending every day watching him grow up and enjoying watching him learn things and develop his own little personality It truly is a miracle and this never gets old to me! Even with the age differences (15,11,9,3,10wk) all my kids just adore him We are very fortunate that all our kids get along so well. I just love my family.... Life is good for sure!!

not sure why im so surprised he is growing up so fast since he is number 5, I should already know this. He is keeping me busy so I havent been on much but I did want to say hi and update everyone. My little chunk is just the happiest baby ive ever met. He even laughs in his sleep He just went for his 2 month check up and is right under 16 pounds and already wearing 6-9 month clothing (closer to 9 month ). Only issue he has is that he doesnt like sleeping at night yet. haha.

so sad. I know blood clots are very common after child birth. And as someone else stated.....it is still possbile to die due to childbirth. I say lots of prayers while Im pregnant, while im delivering and while Im holding my baby afterwards. Life is so short and anything can happen at any moment. Prayers sent for family and friends

Now that I know how to its easy but I will admit when I was teaching myself it was so frustrating! My husband said it was the roughest 2 months of his life Once it clicked I was rocking and rolling. Only problem I ran into was some things kept not turning out and I assumed it was me but later found out some patterns are just not accurate. One of the sites I love, love, love is crochet central. They have just about every pattern you could imagine. Im like you I do not pay for a pattern if I can help it. I tried the gloves and it took forever and just didnt come out great. Im a pro

aww, I just love you Im kind of the same as far as willing to but I have to admit I tried to teach my daughter and her friend and it didnt go too smoothly Not sure if it was bc they didnt have the patience, or if it was their age (13) or if im just a horrible teacher. haha. My new baby only sleeps a couple hours at a time but if anyone wants to be patient and deal with that im willing to try All I ask is that if you learn how that you atleast donate something you make once in a while to someone in need

I have noticed it too. I almost went a little less traditional but changed our mind. Ours are katherine, sarah, joseph, nicholas and thomas...but with all of the new names and less traditional the names I picked may become the rarity. lol

I figure between all the spidermen maybe someone grabbed it by accident thinking it was theirs or maybe someone 'needed' it more then us. The fact their were so many in the same costume is the whole reason we lost our mask. Everytime my son saw someone with a mask on he got nervous it was his so I would give him his and then he would hand it back to do games

rofl...not at you but my son did that to our computer once and I know nothing about computers so I literally used the computer that way for 2 days until my husband fixed it. I didnt know what was wrong with it and didnt know my kids could purposly do it. haha. Good luck and I hope you get it fixed

we went to the trick or treat village at paulding meadows saturday. We had a great time but of coarse one of my kids lost part of their costume. My 3 yr olds spiderman mask got dropped and he is heartbroken He actually got the costume with his birthday money back in august so it isnt just for halloween for him. Soon after it was dropped I walked around the entire park and followed through with parks/rec to see if it was turned in. I figure its a long shot but did anyone happen to find a spiderman mask at the village? Here is a picture of him a couple of months ago with it on (its th

well I will get some hats to you for your fiance soon. Im pushing shano6 to get a membership so she can post somethings too. It is a super cute hat and I havent had a chance to find the pattern yet but I also dont want to take shan06s opportunities or idea. Im going to message her and push her to get that membership! lol

I heard it was bad. Prayers for all involved

ok thank you. I will try to get some to them One of my husbands co workers at the station does a lot with them. aww thanks creativeone but honestly I dont feel like I have the means/time to give back as much as I would like....but such a compliment coming from you is so sweet Of coarse I can make you a hat but I have not done this particular hat and although I think I probably could shano6 does amazing work too. Im sure I can always use yarn and it gives me more opportunity to make hats to donate Shan06 those are super cute hats. If I can get the baby to sleep and my ot

hey I have never heard of this before but found this site/pattern......http://erikaluke.blogspot.com/2009/09/free-kufi-beanie-hat-crochet-pattern.html is that what you are looking for?

wow, that is amazing! I dont even think before I had my 5th child I could have done that many....well I guess it depends on how many years I would have. I checked into making hats for the soldiers but they are actually quite strict about the colors/size/style and I was afraid I would mess it up so I signed up to write letters to them instead. Great cause though

every year I try to make some hats to donate to those in need. If anyone knows a family, church or any organization that needs some please let me know. I probably cant make as many this year but I can atleast help some. either post here or pm me

OH yay enjoy yourself

thank you guys. Im hoping to get it checked soon. Is the only treatment surgery? if so what was the recovery time? Between insurance fees going up and my husband having to miss work I really need to be able to plan this.

loved the dr so thank you for the recomendation He is thinking it is gallbladder and wants me to get an ultrasound. The painful episodes are still coming on here and there but seem to have lessoned a bit. I was going to go for the ultrasound tomorrow but of coarse with 5 kids and firestation schedule I had to put it off. Hopefully can get to the bottom of this soon though. Im just so ready to feel better. Thank you again everyone

still not feeling great so I called a couple of the other drs and langford was able to get me in today Thank goodness bc I want to feel better and spend more time enjoying this weather and my wonderful family

I really never thought to call obgyn, I guess I just figured he dealt with babies/female things. He is an amazing person and of coarse they would probably get me in very quickly so it may be an option if I dont want to wait until friday
