Umm.... Restless?! Lol<br> <br/> After about the 25th time of me telling them to quit horseplaying.. THAT is what happened. <br> <br/> Apparently while riding pillow horses, Sam decides to tease his sister and ride hers. Well, I hear KK ask him at least 4 times to stop and get off, even using her manners. Well, apparently she got tired of asking and shoved him. <br> <br/> He fell backwards and hit his head on a trunk. <br> <br/> Lots of blood and worrying later...I came to the conclusion it wasn't stitch necessary and cut the hair around it, cleaned it up, iced it, and gave him some children's tylenol. Of course after I make sure his pupils are fine and monitor him for an hour....<br> <br/> Sigh.<br> <br/> Meanwhile KK is in her room, on her bed...sobbing and screaming that "my mommas gonna hurt my <font color ="#000000">butt</font> Soooo bad...oh my mommas gonna hurt my butt so bad" over and over and over. <br> <br/> Double sigh. <br> <br/> In the end she did get a small spanking and talked to about the dangers of shoving and how she SHOULD have handled it..and Sam also got a talking to for teasing. <br> <br/> Triple sigh.<br> <br/> Oh, hello 25 new gray hairs...</p> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.3</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-2778539836128267920?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-61648353001476775442012-01-21T15:18:00.001-05:002012-01-21T15:18:19.004-05:00<p>McKayla:&nbsp; Mom, I will give you ONE dollar if I dont have to clean my room.&nbsp; Pleeeease.

It was nothing they couldn't take care of quickly. <br/> Anyway, because of what happened and how my body was I could not make it over to PA for the weekend as we had planned. We were going to see Nana and Pappy. Nana is dealing with a few things as well...not sure if I am allowed to share..but let's just say she is AwESOME!!! She really has this spirit about her that I can't explain. She has one of the biggest hearts I have ever come across...and I thank God for her everyday. After all..I only married Brad so I could be a part of his family. ;o) <br/> Anyway...back to the picture...I didnt go ..and Brad was brave enough to take the kids. Well I just had ONE request for him...... <br/> BRING THE KIDS BACK THE WAY I AM GIVING THEM TO YOU.... <br/> WELL..... <br/> Saturday night I get a call at 915pm that Bug was bit by the neighbors dog.... <br/> In the FACE! <br/> <br/> Seriously folks...if there is one thing that can terrify me in .01 sec flat...its that. Josh was bit in Germany when we first moved there and it haunts me to this day! <br/> Anyway...all I could picture was my Bug..hurt. and me not there to help. And Joshs face after his bite. <br/> Thank God we had not 1 but 2 wonderful mommys there (Nana and Maybn)...that took over and managed. <br/> I was a basket case from 5 hours away. <br/> They came home Sunday and I got to see for myself he was fine. <br/> Fat Lip...bruised...a tad traumatized.. <br/> But fine. <br/> This picture was taken 3 days later...so it looks better . He is one lucky bug... <br/> And so is Brad. Lol <br/> <br/> <div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.9</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-3441958411891022033?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-32438770547245997952011-06-02T19:25:00.001-04:002011-06-02T19:25:17.790-04:00<p><object width='425' height='355'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/snxEVvTKhfc&rel=1'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/snxEVvTKhfc&rel=1' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='355'></embed></object></p>Love these kids so much, I am truly blessed...<div style='clear: both;

Originally we had planned for the weekend of her birthday..but if you know ANYTHING about my mom, it's that you literally have to call and SCHEDULE with her because she is ALWAYS off doing something. Lol. She says shes retired and thats what your supposed to do. But as busy as she stays...remind me NEVER to retire! Lol. Just kidding...she is awesome..even though i need to be penciled in at least 3 weeks beforehand.. :o) <br/> Anyway, to make a ling story short..Cody finally had to pencil himself in (not kidding)..and clear the first weekend she had free...it was a month later. But i got it!! She was ours to surprise!! And surprise her we did!! <br/> Well she did try to throw us for a loop though, by not even being home when we got here! Lol (in all fairness we had left 4 hours earlier than we planned..and i couldnt call cody to let him know, as not to be obvious). Anyway the kids and i headed to the playground and 30 min later we got the call. <br/> We walk right in her back door. Yelling 'SURPRISE' of course. <br/> She screamed! Lol <br/> It was awesome!!! <br/> We had managed to pull it off. <br/> It was a great weekend.

It took a lot of convincing to have her wait in the kitchen. <br/> <br/> In comes Nana and out pop the kids. She was very surprised...especially since she had texted a few days before that, that she hoped we could make it here soon. <br/> <br/> But then I heard her say "i wish I had known so I could have gotten someone to cover for me".... <br/> And then the dreaded 'i told you so' followed by smug 'in your face Kristi' looks. Now its bad enough coming from my husband..but throw in my brother in law.... <br/> BRATS!! <br/> <br/> Oh well...she did manage to find someone after all...and they are over at the movies watching 'Gnomeo and Juliet'. <br/> <br/> They were so excited to go as it is a special privilege to do that. :o) <br/> <br/> Well, its only saturday afternoon and we have a fabulous evening planned..I am super excited...we may head out to the 'Rainbow'.. <br/> <br/> Pictures to come soon. <br/> <br/> TTFN~<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.7</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-9092949737853829333?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-76903688361991584152011-02-15T11:25:00.001-05:002011-02-15T11:25:10.248-05:00Testing..testing...123.. <br/> <br/> Lol... <br/> <br/> Let's see how this works...<div style='clear: both; text-align: center; font-size: xx-small;'>Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.7</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-7690368836199158415?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-17732802076623919212011-02-14T15:40:00.002-05:002011-02-15T06:07:13.409-05:00<b><span class="Apple-style-span" >Happy Valentines Day!~</span></b><div><br /></div><div>:O)</div><div><br /></div><div>I am SO thankful for my man!</div><div><br /></div><div>I got the brand new 4G "HTC Inspire" cell phone, and Brad got a 12 pack of Samuel Adams Winter Lager...</div><div><br /></div><div>Who made out in THAT deaL??

It was sooo much fun and we are so thankful they came! :)</div><div><br /></div><div> We had a wonderful dinner of Ham AND Turkey (made on the grill!!)...and as usual Trovena went out of her way to make sure we were all fat and happy when we left! :) HUGE thanks Tee! :)</div><div><br /></div><div>We played our annual chinese fire drill...the prize fought over this year was a 6 pack of Coke bottles....AND of course the thing KK wanted (a huge Hershey Kiss)... she got it and cried if anyone tried to take it. She hasnt quite gotten the hang of the game yet...plus add a little tired to the mix and it calls for an interesting time! :)</div><div><br /></div><div>She did end up with it inthe end though so all was well! (thank goodness! lol)</div><div><br /></div><div>Tomorrow is Christmas....and I'm sure I'll have TONS of pictures to share.,..</div><div><br /></div><div>for now here are a few I took while Grandma and Grandpa were here along with some from Josh's....</div><div><br /></div><div>he only people missing were Popo and Papa...but they were DEF there in spirit!! We thought of them the entire time!</div><div><br /></div><div>We are going to bake a cake for Jesus's birthday (as we do every year)....after all it is the reason for the season...right? KK is so excited and says Jesus has the best birthday ever. She REALLY loves singing to him! :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Well, I am super excited to see what Santa brought Brad! :) *winks*.....so far my super idea of hiding it right out in the open has worked...it is so huge...and he hasn't even seen it!! :P lol not that it says much for his observation skills! lol</div><div><br /></div><div>anyway, until tomorrow.... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>enjoy the pics!~</div><br />Grandma and grandkids...

MORE than the trials. So much more.<br /><br />And I thank God for every single one!~<br /><br />We are headed to josh's this year. We were supposed to go down to NC but with Brad's job cutting his hours and the uncertainty of each day we thought it best to postpone the trip. :( MUCH to my dismay. I was really looking forward to seeing my mom since the surgery. We are both bummed but know its for the best.<br /><br />So I am bringing Green bean casserole and Sweet potato casserole to Josh's. My 1st attempt at the sweet potato...(we will see how it turns out) OH and deviled eggs! YUM! :)<br /><br />Well HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone. to you and yours!!<br /><br />May it be the begininning of many more blessings coming your way!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-5265794499174785527?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-88274152807307581082010-11-16T13:50:00.011-05:002010-11-16T15:06:22.630-05:00<strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Fall Fun 2010 + A Surprise</span></strong><br /><br />Leaves, leaves, and more leaves!~ :)<br /><br />We have a huge yard surrounded by forest so we get about 3 ft of leaves each year. <br /><br />Cleaning them up is half the fun! :)<br /><br />I can't get over how fast 2010 has gone.

It was a BLAST!<br /><br />Brad and I got different costumes. <br /><br />Josh said my Cleopatra costume wasn't..and I quote.."good enough"...<br /><br />So we did some last minute shopping and.....<br /><br />He went has Goose and I went as Maverick from the movie "Top Gun"..<br /><br />Some of the other costumes were HILARIOUS!! <br /><br />We all had fun and even played a game of "who am I?"...where you get a sticker on your back with a famous person on it, and you go around asking yes or no questions and try to figure out who you might be! After you guessed you stuck the name in front and got another sticker. Person with the most stickers at the end of the night won. (there was only one person doing the sticking)...<br /><br />Anywhere here are the pictures....(keep in mind it was ADULTS only, so no little innocent eyes were harmed in the process of this party! :) )<br /><br />Munching away!~<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMzqrIe8hfI/AAAAAAAAEzM/irAgyLck4LI/s1600/halloween+party+josh+2010+025.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534056068864050674" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMzqrIe8hfI/AAAAAAAAEzM/irAgyLck4LI/s320/halloween+party+josh+2010+025.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Josh's friends..<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMzqqlgPAJI/AAAAAAAAEzE/6HCzLljz8gs/s1600/halloween+party+josh+2010+029.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534056059474215058" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMzqqlgPAJI/AAAAAAAAEzE/6HCzLljz8gs/s320/halloween+party+josh+2010+029.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Dave and Maryanne...<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMzqqMeL6cI/AAAAAAAAEy8/yl8ALkuNnlg/s1600/halloween+party+josh+2010+028.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534056052754737602" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMzqqMeL6cI/AAAAAAAAEy8/yl8ALkuNnlg/s320/halloween+party+josh+2010+028.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div>Jen...the Beer fairy!

I can't believe we haven't been back since we have moved (about a year and a half)... i thought I would be down there at least every couple of months!! Boy does life keep you busy!<br /><br />One of the reasons for our trip was that my mom was once again recently diagnosed with breast cancer in her other breast. For those of you that weren't aware...she had battled and WON against this horrible disease back when I was pregnant with Bug in 2002. (Have I mentioned how much I HATE cancer?...Cody also fought prostate cancer back then at the SAME time! ) :( Grrrrrrrrrrr :( :(<br /><br />She has already had one masectomy. The good news is that they caught it early...but still the surgery will be very invasive. She is a very faithful woman though and has a great spirit about her. I have every faith that she will beat it this time around again. My mom ROCKS. You have NO idea what this woman is capable of! :)<br /><br />Honestly though, I have to admit.... that I am angry FOR her. <br /><br />Angry and shocked. <br /><br />If you know my mom, she is the sweetest...most GENEROUS person you will ever meet. And such a Godly woman too. For this to happen to her a second time blows me away. But i too have faith. Faith in her. and Faith in God. No matter what happens. :)<br /><br />I love my mom~ :)<br /><br />Please keep her in your prayers on a DAILY basis! I can't tell you how powerful prayer is!<br /><br />Here are a few pictures and a video from this weekend! The kids got to see some friends they have MISSED SO MUCH!! <br /><br />And Bug even got to spend the night for the first time EVER at a friends house! (THANKS Cheryl!) He talked about it for 5 hours on the way back to VA. He sure misses NC and all his friends there. We hope to have more time around Thanksgiving to see friends we didnt have the time to see on this past trip....<br /><br />Here is KK and her friend "A"...<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMDEHpSb9GI/AAAAAAAAEuk/eM-x3uQBjXc/s1600/Oct+2010+131.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530635978032280674" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMDEHpSb9GI/AAAAAAAAEuk/eM-x3uQBjXc/s320/Oct+2010+131.JPG" /></a><br /><br />"M"..Bug...Drama Mama...and "A"...<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMDEHYLmRvI/AAAAAAAAEuc/4q0wttNFdEE/s1600/Oct+2010+121.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530635973440194290" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z71SA6thMVk/TMDEHYLmRvI/AAAAAAAAEuc/4q0wttNFdEE/s320/Oct+2010+121.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br />A video of the 2 girls on the swings in the backyard!

Sam is at cub scouts with Daddy and KK and I are supposed to be doing some mommy/daughter stuff.

We had Nana, Pappy, and Uncle Bryan for a visit to celebrate Bug's birthday.<br /><br />It was small like I had mentioned before. And the weather was PERFECT!!<br /><br />What a BUSY day though, between the 4 hours at Funland riding go karts, bumper boats, and playing laser tag...and then heading to Kings dominion for Fright Fest until about 1 am...we were EXHAUSTED!!<br /><br /> Of course the kids stayed home with Nana and Pappy while we did the night thing as it was WAY too late to keep them out and it was spooky as well with scary costumes everywhere.<br /><br /><strong>( A HUGE HUGE thanks to Nana and Pappy for the fun night)....</strong><br /><br />Sunday was a low key but busy day as well. We spent it at home doing yard work (well Brad did the work...I kinda watched the boys)..<br /><br />We had matthew stay the night so he was here all day Sunday much to Bug's delight.<br /><br />Matthew is, and will always BE... Sam's best friend!! :)<br /><br />They played pokewalker outside most of the day and I even put together a treasure hunt for them to do. Toward the afternoon Sam started feeling poorly due to some new medication. (thats a whole different post)...So he had to lay down for a few hours.<br /><br />All is well now...and we are starting a new week... :) yay!~ :)<br /><br />We were sad to see everyone head back to PA...but are SO thankful you made the trip to see us!!~<br /><br />P.S. We have a few unspoken prayers we ask that you lift up for us!!~ We sure do appreciate all the friends and family we have!~<br />xoxox to all of you!~<br /><br />:) :) :) :P :) :) :P :) :) :P<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-823684336348486837?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-68533518576692980812010-10-05T21:59:00.000-04:002010-10-06T15:06:27.898-04:00<span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY Bug!~</strong></span><br /><br />Can you believe it?? He is 8!!!<br /><br />8!!!!<br /><br />Ahhhhhh! :)<br /><br />Such a great little boy too!! We had a quiet birthday at home this year...(well, until saturday...when we hit FUNLAND with Nana, Pappy, Uncle Bryan and of course Matthew)...we ordered his FAVORITE...Dominoes....and then went to Dairy Queen for ice cream. He could order whatever he wanted offf the menu....he got an oreo blizzard! :)<br /><br />Anyway, the thing at Funland will be a small affair...compared to the all out partyt we had last year!! But he is content with that! As long as his cousin and family are here, he is happy!<br /><br />just like his momma!~<br /><br />But the fun for us (the adults) doesnt start until AFTER that!~ We are going to Kings Dominion for fright fest on Saturday night!! I am sooooo excited as it has been, well, let's just say a LONG time since I have gone! :) I am SOOOOOOOO excited! :) Gonna get my ride on~ :) (as Sam would say!)<br /><br />Anyway....Happy 8th birthday to my bug...pictures to come!~ :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15526413-6853351857669298081?l=sammyandmckayla.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kristi Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066457290660557676noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15526413.post-41234898429236970042010-09-30T12:17:00.004-04:002010-10-21T20:26:23.865-04:00<span style="font-size:180%;"><strong>KK had her 1st sleepover!!!</strong></span><br /><br />Last night we had Leah, a 3 year old I watch, come over and stay the night.
