Bunk Bed Buddies!!

So with all the NEW and FUN stuff we got in our apartment, we decided that we NEEDED somthing....some NEW BEDS!!!! Cameron is out of his crib and loving a big boy bed!! Jackson, of course chose the top bunk, is loving his dark blue room and his ladder bed! The both go to bed really easy now and a couple of nights ago we put them in bed with a nightlight, (our first mistake) and went into our room to go to sleep and all of sudden we hear laughing and playing around. I of course grab my camera and the are goofing off! So it begins!!! GET IN BED!! lol! I remember pretending to be asleep after hearing a parent get out of bed and laughing when they would leave again! Oh no!!! It was soooo funny! Cordell pretended to be grumpy and they got right back in bed and Cameron even covered his face with his blanket! Then we all started laughing! So fun! Kids are wonderful and now so is bedtime!!

Cameron loves his new bed and knows exactly which bed is his and goes to bed really well! Last night we said " Family Prayer" and he ran in and knelt by his little bed!! Sooooo cute!!! Sweet dreams baby!

First Night In The Beds!!

Goodbye To A Dear Friend!

When Cordell and I were first married I talked him into getting a puppy! We found the perfect little toy poodle! Copper was my first baby! I love him so much! He is my protector, my friend, my comforter and the perfect teddy bear! Last night we gave him away to a friend of ours. It was the HARDEST thing I have done in a long time!! We have lived in the apartments for 2 1/2 years and plan to stay a bit longer. He has no room to run around and play and no fenced in yard to use! We just got new carpet and knew that we would need to lock him in a bathroom at night and when we were gone, so he wouldn't have any accidents in the house. I know that he will be happy and he will even have a girlfriend who in a couple of months will let us see another batch of his pups!! We gave him away for free on the condition that we can see him and stud him out 3-4 times a year. And they can't sell him or give him away, they would return him to us!! So it is not goodbye, goodbye! If you know me you know that I spent the last couple of nights in tears and especially last night! We have had him stay at other peoples houses before to stud out, but this time him being gone was incredibly difficult for me! I missed feeling him on my feet at the bottom of the bed and having to nudge him off when I needed to move! I missed his soft breathing and this morning I missed him begging for scraps from the kids! Jackson is taking it pretty well! He has suggested that we get a dogfence guy to come and build a fence for copper so we could keep him! When he saw me crying this morning he asked why I was sad and I said that I miss Copper and he said "It's ok mommy were sharing." Followed by a BIG hug!! Cameron woke up and was playing around with Jackson and started to say Topper, Topper! OHHH it KILLED me!!!! Even this post is incredibly hard for me to write! I just hope he understands and doesn't think we don't love him anymore, or that he did something wrong! I know I am personalizing it too much, but he is my dog and I love him!!! I will miss seeing him at the window waiting for me and I will miss his sweet personality!So.....Thank you Copper for being such a great part of our family! Thank you for being there for me when I needed a snuggle or someone to just sit with me! Thank you for protecting me when Cordell was gone at night and for being so wonderful with kids! We will see you SOON! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! I miss you already! Good boy Copper you're a good boy!!!

I am FINALLY a MarchAUNT!!!

OK, So I have the CUTEST nephew in the whole wide world! His name is Eric Michael Johnson and my sister Megs was a trooper and went through 7 hrs of labor! He was born at 11:44 last night and weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 20.5 inches long! As you can see he has Megs cute little nose and Jenes full lips! He is sooooooo cute!!! I have to wait 6 whole weeks before I can hold him and snuggle him :( . He looks like Megs baby pics! I think he is such a doll and now I want a dark haired baby!! My babies had light hair and not as much, so they looked like balding old men lol! I am glad they are so adorable now lol! Good job Megs! He is perfect! You done good sista! I love you guys! Hug and kiss him every minute or two for his Aunt McCall!!!! Hooray!!

Could it be today?

ok so I needed something to do, after last nights election especially! I couldn't sleep and my sister's due date is today and NO BABY yet, so I decided to write her a song. She is so far away and this is like the only thing I could thing of for support in a fun way! I love you megs! Happy DUE DATE!! Good luck! We hope it happens soon!!

"my favorite things" - sound of music

Leg cramps and backaches and

Stretch marks and fat feet,

Crave lots of junk food and

Can't get enough sleep,

Heartburn and nausea and

Having to pee...

This is why I want this kid outta me!

Mood swings and headaches,

sore muscles and rib cage

Water retention;

boy do I hate that stage

Accidents happen when I cough, laugh or sneeze..

This is why I want this kid outta me..

When he kicks me

and my pants don't fit

when I'm feeling fat

I think of the baby

I'll hold in my arms,

and then I don't feel so bad!

I love you Megs!!! Wish I could do more!! You are in our thought, hearts and prayers! We love Jene too!!

We Had Some Laughs, And Even A Scream... We Hope You Had A Great Halloween!

WERRRRE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD.........

What A fun night! Sorry the slide show is a bit long, but you know me...I have a sickness and need professional help! The weather was GREAT (despite the slight drip lol), and our kids were happy the WHOLE time....oh wait no they weren't lol! As you can tell from the pics, Jackson was having none of the whole picture thing! We also went trunk or treating at the church first and didn't get any pics of that! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, second to Christmas of course! I feel like this year we just barely fit it in! We got new carpet and fresh paint in our apartment jus days before, so we are in a mess! We barely got the sugar cookies done and carved our pumpkins on Halloween lol! So this year it was a tad stressful! But as you can see from the pics, we had a blast!!! Everyone loved our theme and thought that we looked great! And holy cow did we get some LOOT!!!! Anyway...I hope you had a great Halloween and that it was less stressful than ours lol! Now I just need to watch a scary movie and do some caramel popcorn! I am sooo behind lol! Well I guess all that is left to say is.....BOO!
