NO More Pockets!


This photo doesn't even give it justice!
On Wednesday morning Scott came home from work to get the kids ready and let me sleep in ( since I am worn out from getting home at 4am). So sweet. well he said it was a good morning, which is far a few between in the West house since the girls wake up at 5am and are ready for a nap when it is time to go to school at 8am. Anyways they went out to the car running like penguin's with their hands in their pockets, Kinzie got to the curb and whent face first on to the road with no hands to help take the fall. It was so sad I could hear her screaming all the way inside. She also got a bloody nose along with some nice bloody road rash all over her face. She still went to preschool, but they all probably think we beat are kids. Her face was all swollen still and she still had the blotchy face from crying. Needless to say Scott was home from work longer then he had planned. Darn it he probably won't due that again.
Note to you all don't let you kids run with their hands in their pockets!

I'm Still Here(Kinda)

Happy Birthday Girls!





I know it has been awhile, and there is so much to say, But I don't even know where to start.
We have been so busy but all in different directions. Scott working then after work school then he comes home I would leave to work then my sis would come and he would go back to school then come home clean up and go to bed I got home around 1 in the morning unless it was snowing then who knows when I got home.well now last week all that over except I leave to work at 9pm and get home at 4am. I am so tired. but I will be working from home now but still in the middle of the night until I can change to days while the kids are in school. Amongst all the crazy stuff we had valentines day the girls birthday days out of school and we planned a baby shower. I swear I haven't slept for about 4 weeks when I started training for my job. I lost my voice almost 2 weeks ago and I can not seem to find it still if you find it please send it back my kids seemed to not be able to hear me, it is so needed it this point.

Well my beautiful baby girls are 4 now I can not believe they are so old I miss my babies. when they were little I thought it was hard and couldn't wait till they could do things on their own. Oh my gosh what I would give to take those words back. They are so sassy!wow! who knew girls are 18 when they are only 4. But I love them so much, and to think that they were not even likely to make it into this world they truly are a miracle from our Heavenly Father. It seems like they were just born. I can remember it so clear it was such an exciting day but also such an emotional day full of ups and downs. no one could believe that they were born with no complications and needing almost no help to survive a few minutes of oxygen for little Halli and in the incubator for 7 hours. they came home with me on day 5. Halli did give us a scare when she was 6 months old when the Doctor sent us to primary children's for some concerns we found out she was born with COLP which is a palsy in the lower lip she has no branch of nerves in her lower left lip, but it is looking good for now she also had some palsy in her vocal cords but was able to over come that. well anyways there Birthday was on a Sunday so we just had the normal dinner and cake at my moms but on Monday it was pres. day so we took them putt putt golfing they had a blast. The girls got a v-smile for their B-day along with barbies and few more thing but I think their favorite would be the princess sleeping bags from Mema & Papa. Thanks Mom & Dad, they want to sleep on the floor every night now but that's our battle now.
I love to look through pictures and remember when... they make are life so memorable and their is never a dull moment in the West house, when they are home.

Well like I said Valentines also came around and the kids think it is so fun the girls got necklaces and mik got a baseball card binder thing, I put hugs and kisses all over their beds with a balloon so when they got home from school they could open them. I'm not that big on valentines day but I try to make all holidays even the little ones traditional some how so they can do that with their kids. now on to St.Patricks day. Oh and I got my favorite... Tulips. what a good husband.

My sister is almost due they have decided to name Baby Boy Field, Preston Field I think it sounds great now if he could just get here. The parents to be are so excited, I remember when we were waiting for Mik's grand entrance, it is such an exciting time when you have your first baby, well with all but there are so many unknowns with your first. I stole the picture off her blogg, sorry Amy.


Mik also shot a gun for the first time. I was not to sure about this but Scott insisted. Mik was so excited he couldn't' sleep the night before and that is all he talked about before he went, and the the few days after. And if you know Mik he never stops talking he just goes on and on and on, even when you ask him to stop he Say's " OK I'll stop mom," Hey mom that was so..... and he just stars all over again in the same breath. It is so funny but man can he talk. Oh and he did get hit in the face with it kicked backed but he thought it was funny but said it hurt to.

Yea Gunner is back (that would be our dog). Gunner has finally made the trip from north Carolina. The kids are so excited( me ehhh). He got sick and Scott was so sad he is at the vet right now he has a heart worm & has lost about 40 lbs. or more. The kids just love him though and they talked about him in their prayers every night... please bless gunner at my dads Friends house.... it was so cute and not one prayer was ended without mentioning Gunner.

Well there is probley more that has gone on but I think this is long enough. Hopefully I won't get that behind again. Whew!
