It's been getting hot around here thank goodness for A/C and a couple fan's in the house....I just can not belive it's almost July, If summer go's by as fast as it did last year it will be like boom it's fall..I dont mind that too much sence I dont do too well in the heat, I know I will have too go too the Doctures office in Aug but hopeing too have some cab money buy then so I wount have too walk in the heat :)

Jarred is still working on the potty training it's going good so far and we have been working on our letter's trying too lurn how too write, So far that has been hard with in it's self but we will get threw it I'm sure.

Our cat Zoey got out a few week's ago and we havent seen her sence, Jarred took it hard at frist sence she was his cat but I think he is starting too forget about her now, He just tell's me....Mommy Zoeys not comeing home and I tell him I dont think so and he go's on his way.

It's almost summer...Yay, Just a couple more day's untill the boy's birthday party....Jarred tells me everyday that its almost time...lol, Im getting excited myself becuse I will see some of my family that I havent seen in abit.

I was working on some lapbook's this evening, Just got 3 put togather and now just have too wate for our new printer too get the insides all made, So far Im gonna do a Noah's Ark number's....Ummm sure what I want too do yet for the other two, I have too do some more surching on the net yet too get more ideas.

Jarred finally had two BM on the potty the other day all on his own, So hopefully we are on our way...I was so happy he went and you know I think he was as well, He didnt go today but he may just might not had too but I am so very proud of my big man...So fingers crossed this will keep going on and he will be fully trained in a couple month's, But Dh and I were talking we are still going too homeschool him for the 2009/2010 year, Dh thinks he is just still too young too go too school and I understand what he means, He has been bumped up too once a month in speech so Im really happy about that and Jack is getting into the programe as well sence he dosent say alot yet, but has been getting better, He say's Hello now and Blessyou, its really sweet when he say's that.

I just found out I am going too have another Neice, That makes now three little girls for my brother and his wife Jessica, So far they have Chloe (4) Brooklyn (almost 2) and Baby Girl that is Due in October...Cant wate, We Joke that my brother will only have girls and I will only have boy's....I would laugh if we did have another boy next time around....Only God will tell :)

The weather has been nice, they say we might have a cooler summer...I deffently can deal with that, I do not like really hot weather makes me sick from my medactions, But we will just have too wate and see how summer go's, I just found some Holly Berry seeds on E-bay I would love too grow Dh one, He has always wanted too own one, I wonder if I have enough of a green thumb too get one going.

Well that's all for now....MANY MANY MANY Blessings to you all!!

I just got some cupcake papers the other day that are blue with white snowfalkes on them, I also got a new cake pan that make 3-D snowflakes on the cake...So I can not wate too test it out. I get too make a cake Friday for the boy's party, I cant wate sence I havent really baked anything in a while, Just been so sick on and off for the past few month's....And no Im not pregnet....lol. The depression has been hitting me hard the last little while, but I have been feeling alittle better the past couple of day's, Just hope this feeling stay's for a while. The boy's are getting excited that there party is comeing up, I just got there presents wraped the other day...I forgot too get wrapping paper so I had too use Christmas wrapping paper and use the white side up..lol, but in the end Im really sure they are not going too care what the wrapping paper look's like. I hope too take lot's of pictures on Sat I will have too add them, Im also going too add a re up-dated picture of the boy's that was taken today so you can see just how big  they have got it's crazy!! That's our "new" couch we had a friend give us a new couch and chair, that was really badly needed, the Lord deffently did supply as he alway's say's he will. And it was just in time becuse we were able too get all the older stuff out for the bulk clean-up day's, its a older model but very very soft I really like it!! I got the boy's nails all cut today and gonna shave there heads this week as well so they have nice hair for the weekend, I know they can not wate too see "Grandma", Well shes acuttly my Grandma but the kids call her that too sence they dont see there "real" grandma, And some of there Aunts and Uncles will be there and a few friends as well which will be nice, I know Jarred has been going on all week about his friend Amy is going too be there shes a friend from Sunday school....Cute little one!

I know alittle early too post my Advent Candle's but I have allready been looking up scriptures for this comeing year, The boy's really injoyed doing the readings with me and dh last year....We got some candles this year that take batterys so there is no flame that way the boy's can "light" them and not get burned, I bought them off e-bay right colours as well, Im just wateing for them too come in the mail...I allready recived the white ones, I bought two wite one's just incase. I have been looking for Advent craft's as well and have found a couple good one's too add into Jarreds Homeschooling lessions in December, I know he will really like that!

Tonight we are haveing tacos for supper I cant wate my fave fave fave food, Well that and Chinese as well, Just something easy tonight and fast!! Made fish last night and the boy's really liked it....Frist time it was not breaded which made it alot more healthy for them, Which is something I have been trying too do alot for them lately, My meal binder help's alot when planing so we can really set a nice plan for meals for the month.

The boy's are good here, Jarred is dead tired becuse he was up most of the night and so was mom!!

Well that's all for now....Might post again later!

Ruth

Well it's almost that time of year!! The boy's Birthday's are comeing up real soon, Jarreds is on June 12th and Jackies is June 19th, We are haveing a party for them on the 13th...We thought it would be good just too have one party for the two of them, This year Jarred is very excited becuse there will be some non-family kids comeing this year...He is really happy Amy is comeing she is alittle 5 year old from his Sundayschool class, Oh she is such alittle cutie!! Jarred wanted too do a dino theam this year for his birthday so we got one of those images that you can put on a cake thats made out of like a iceing, It has The Land Befor Time Dino's on it and we got some matching cupcake images as well so he is really happy about that!! We went for a walk last week too get some little thing's for the goodie bag's he had alot of fun sence he was able to pick preatty much everything out by himself and he got a outdoor ball too play with, I still have too pick up the food yet but Im wateing on that sence were gonna do almost like luchmeat and buns and other goodies insted og hambugers this year that way we can spend more time outside with everyone then busy cooking. So Jarred is counting down the day's....Jack's alittle young yet so he dosent relize what's going on, But I know he will have fun when the time come's, So far we have got a few little gift's for them, Jarred is getting one big gift but that will be later in July he is getting out of his toddler bed and into a big bed, Jack has been showing alot of intrest in Jarreds toddler bed so Im happy about that....No more crib!! Then comes the fun part of getting him too stay in his room at night LOL, Jarred is almost 4 and just finally staying in his room!! I have too do some work in Jacks room soo too get any items moved that he will get into..We had too do that with Jarred he used too always like too get into his dresser, I want too move the book self out of his room....Jack is abit of a book ripper so that's not too good, Im going too put them on the up-stars landing so they can be more easy too get too, I think all the books in our room have been over read and I know the kids have some really good books in the self, Jacks fave book is the very hungry catterpeller (oh how ever that is spelled) So I will have too get the book out again. Jarred and I did well over an hour of reading the other night he really injoyed that and you know so did I, We even did some Bible reading that he acuttly sat for, that was really the frist time in a long time.

Well that's preatty much everything for today....Many many blessings too you all!

I just wanted too write some thought's today, I know some people might think this sounds funny but lately I feel like Satan has been attacking me in my heart....I have been feeling so "off" lately, So I have steped off alittle when it come's too the internet and text messageing for abit, I just cant shake this feeling. I thought I would step back and re-think what is going on in my life and what mean's the most too me, I really need to dive back into my Bible reading sence I have been letting that slack and I really shouldent let that happion. I hope maybe all you wonderful lady's could keep me in your prayers on this.

We have had some sadness this past week, One of my Aunt's passed away....She was up there in age but she is now with the Lord and deffently in a better place that's for sure, I have been wateing too hear more detals on when her funeral will be, I think only I will go I'm not sure if I really want too let the boy's go too something like that just yet, I think there so young, Even though I have talked with them about this.

Im sorry such a short post today, Many blessings to you all!

Well here we are another Sunday, Im home with the boy's today while Dh is at church...Im not really in the mood too talk with him at the moment, but I know this issue will be over by day's end becuse I can never stay mad for too long.

Jarred and Jack are watching alittle tv at the moment, I havent taken them out today yet every time I get ready too it look's like it will rain, We were out so long yesterday....Poor little jackie got a sunburn on his sholders and back, I guess I didnt relize it was that hot...Gonna get some sunscreen next week when I get grocerys. I really dont want them too get anymore burns.

Everyone is getting ready for bulk junk day's these past couple week's, So much out there and even some good items, We have found some stuff we have brought home and have done so much cleaning as well too get alot of the big items out too the road too be picked up...So much room not in the basment....Well once I get a chance too make everything strate down there....Now that's the hard part but really I should get too it this week incase there is more items that have too go out too the road.

The weather has been getting nice here, We put the A/C in the other night just incase it start's too get really hot, Like I said too Dh we can get it in now just dont have too put it on yet the fan will work just fine, Poor Jackies room just get's so hot, My brother is going to put one of those fans the hook on the cealing once we buy it hopefully that will make his room alittle cooler.......Plus in the winter his room is the coldest....I feel bad but theres only 3 rooms in this place so no were else too put him. Jarred is getting excited becuse he will be getting a real bed soon and out of his toddler bed(Which will be going to Jack) We were luck a friend of ours gave us the mattess we needed for the new bed it's never been used....But alittle musty from being stored in his basment but hey no biggie they have all those spray's now that take the smell out of all thing's fabric. He's also excited becuse he get's new sheet's and blankets as well sence everything he has only fit's on a toddler bed. His birthday is next month but were gonna get the bed in July sence we will have alittle extra money.....Well just for the bed though.

Anyway's enough of my yip-yapping for today, I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!!

http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Kobrinfamily/ I just thought if anyone was intrested the could come over and check out my Homeschool blog.

Well today I am not doing so well, I just found out last night that my mom has been commited but I know it was something long time comeing she has not been well in year's, I have no idea how long they are going to hold her, I just know she is in a hospital, I guess she called my Grandmother the other day and told her she needed help and my grandma too her too the hospital and then she ended up in another hospital about half an hour away, I know they will be keeping her for 72 hour's and for testing and then they will eather let her go home and put her into another hospital for a longer time, I have not herd anything yet today of what is going on, I am hopeing too talk with my Aunt later this evening if she is on...I do know she has not been well for a long time and dose need this help but at the same time she has a way of getting what she want's and will pull little stunts like this she has befor in the past and has gone and done some out of this world stuff, but on the other hand if she has gone too get real help I hope she has, Ever sence me and my brother has stoped letting her see our Kids she has been doing really odd thing's, Like we never took the kids away too be mean there were many resion's why we have done it and if I were too list we would be here for a long while. Mind you she is my mother and I do care but I know she needs the help! My heart has been hurtting so bad sence last night and I have been feeling abit ill to be honest about it, I called my bother last night too let him know but he wasnt home, But I was able too talk with my Sister-in-law about what has been going on and she say's she hope's that my mom will get the help she really needs.

Well on-too something else, Jarred and I have desided that we are going to plant some seeds this year, He really wants too do some pumpkins so we might give that a try and I want too do some Herbs to have some fresh ones in the house, Im not sure what else we will do yet, I will have too look into it and see how much things will cost and how we will plant everything, I was hopeing just too do a couple large pot's of things so as not too have too dig into the ground too much, I guess we will just have too wate and see.

Just a short post tonight as I am not feeling all that wonderful...Many blessings to you all!

Here we are another week over, Wow I feel so stressed out!! Sometimes I could just use a brake...I know that might make me sound like a bad mom, But it's true I could use a brake but with family wise its mostly just me and the boy's and dh sence the hole thing happioned with my mom we dont see alot of the family any more, So it can be hard sence there really is no one that I have that can take them for a day. Im just alittle un-easy about leaveing the kids with non family member's, I have alway's been that way...Im sure I will get threw the little "funk" as they would call it. But atlest I am able too get them outside now daily and that get's the energy out some day's and get's me some fresh air as well. I was talking with my grandma the other day and she has planted a couple little flowers in some pot's the other day she really injoy's doing that still too this day, When my grandfather was alive they had two small greenhouses were they would grow plants and sell them for alittle extra cash and I think more for a hobby, They used too like too talk with the people when they came and usally they ended up getting more plants they what they paid for  I miss him so much even though it's been 9 year's, I just keep in mind that even though it hurt's now I will see him again when I go home too the Lord.

The boy's are doing well and so is Dh, We have been takeing in the sun and maybe my leg's wount look so white one of these day's and it's nice too wear flip-flop's again, I really dont like too wear shoes all too much, Dh always laugh's when I wear my slippers outdoors when the weathers nice....With both of my pregnacys I used too wear them too the Doctures office all the time when my feet used too swell.

Anyway's just a short post really nothing too much too write.

Luke 5:17-6:11

Well here we are another Sunday, Jack and I are home yet again with this cold but Dh took Jarred with him so I could rest alittle sence Jack can be preatty easy sometimes...I really wanted too go but we do have some older people at the church and I do not want too make them sick, This is week 3 of this..I dont want anyone too get it!! Atlest Jack woke up without a stuffy nose, I think he's not beeing as fussy as usual, but then again he is munching on some goldsfish crakers he really like's those! I hope Jarred is good this week, Last time in Sunday school he was put in time out twice so I had a talk with him this moring that he needed too be good for Miss Jenna this week, It was cute though as Dh was getting his bag over Jarred brought the new testment that I let them have too look threw and asked daddy if he could take his Bible, It was really sweet....So I guess my idea of buying him a Veggie Tales Bible for his Birthday was a good idea, there really cute I recived them in the mail a few weeks back got one for both the boy's, And veggie tales cases for them as well too hopefully keep them in good shape!

So Im preatty excited I am getting a new Cellphone next week for Mothers Day....It's called a  SAMSUNG INSTINCT, It's a touch phone, Kinda like a I-phone but much much cheaper!! On a 3 year contract right now it is less then 40.00 which is dirt cheap sence when the phone came out about 9 month's ago it was 300.00....WOW! And the sale only lasted like a few week's, Im not one for alot of high tech stuff but this look's preatty neat sence there is a Cam on it too take picuters on it and also it's a Mp3 player as well which I'm happy about sence my old one is abit too die preatty much, Dosent hold a charge really anymore....So you can see why I would be happy, Now I just have too wate a couple more day's untill it get's deliverd :)

So the other day I was telling everyone on here how I will be homeschooling and Im still really excited so I started too print out some stuff of-line and my printer stoped working and we cant seem too fix it so I am abit up-set sence it was only 5 month's old and the cost too get it fixed is way more then what it is worth when I bought it, But Dh promised we would get a printer well befor Sept so I am really happy about that!

Well that's is for now, I hope you all have a very Blessed week this week and may you take everything too the Lord!!
