Our new ride

Shaun's boss, wants to get rid of his '97 Ford Explorer. It's in excellent condition, minus the exhaust leak and the damage to the drivers back end. You see, it was involved in an accident 5-6 months ago, nothing major but the guy's kid didn't want to shell out $4000 to fix it, so it sat in the driveway. Shaun showed interest and from there it was ours.
Shaun's boss is letting him work overtime and instead of paying him the O/T he's keeping it as payment for the vehicle. He'll only have to do a couple hours a day for two months. Not bad for a little more room for us and the kids! Shaun took it to our friend Jeff (who works at a body shop) and it'll only cost us about $300 to fix all the damaged on the rear (not bad compared to $4000!), and he's going to get it detail cleaned on the inside, and she's good to go!!


Oh and dont worry, lil Blue (my Saturn) isn't going anywhere..he's my first 'new' car....I can't toss him to the curb!!

It's not wiggly anymore...

OK so Yesterday Jillian lost, yes LOST her first tooth! And if ANYone reading this knows me, teeth and I, well we just DON'T get along.. really we don't. It's like Orange Juice and toothpaste...so here's the story,

We were at Shaun's parents, and Jillian and gramma were upstairs waiting for me to make lunch for our "upstairs picnic" and I heard some "commotion" going on. What the heck? so I walked around the corner, and see gramma standing at the top of the stairs...
"what are you guys doing?!?" I say.
She's got a big grin on her face, "Jillian just lost her tooth!" she says.
"WHAT?!? where is she?!" I say.
Then I heard her talking to daddy, so I went back around and saw her standing there, guaze in her mouth, crying and showing daddy that her tooth is gone. SHE said she was trying to use her teeth to open a cookie tin *cringes* and it came out. GRAMMA said she was just sitting there playing with it and it came out. so I don't know how it came out but it came out, and there was quite a bit of blood, so I'm going to lean toward Jillian's story, cuz I know it wasn't wiggly enough to just "comeout".

I hugged her and told her what a big girl she was and looked at the gapping hold in her gums *shutter*. and then of COURSE I took pictures....

This is right after it came out... Her shirt's wet from gramma helping her rinse all the blood out.

Showing me the hole...*gag*


Daddy's telling her about the Tooth Fairy


I thought for sure she wouldn't eat her lunch afterward, but she ate it all up!


the... *shutter* tooth...


Jillian's new toothless smile


Gramma treated us to Baskin Robbins, in celebration of Jillian's 1st tooth coming out...


The Tooth Fairy Came!! Left Jillian $1, she can't wait to go spend it...

hanging out with Lucas

Lucas has been sick, and I stayed home with him yesterday to do breathing treatments during the day and keep an eye on his breathing. We hung out and played with some of his toys he got for Christmas.

We built imaginary bookshelves...





(Don't worry his finger wasn't stuck long.. LOL it came RIGHT out...after a little vaseline and tugging.....Seriously though..just kidding)

and then I made a house out of his Lincoln Logs.

and then the PANDA MONSTER smashed it down!

New Years @ the Dunes

We went to the dunes for New Years. I had a blast... The kids stayed home with Shaun's parents and had a blast as well! Sarah met us up there, and quite honestly if it hadn't been for her I wouldn't have had much fun... LOL! We went for a golf cart ride courtesy of Shaun (almost flew out a couple times) and we rang in the new year with some Cherry Vodka and Sprite. *YUM* Luv ya Miss Sarah!
