Uh-hum....

So sorry for the delay... I have yet again been thrown into the proverbial lion's den of life! I know your sick of hearing "we're so busy, whaa whaa whaa" from me so I will skip all that. We will just start off with "Hi, how you doin? Good? Oh!  Me too... " and go from there ;) No need to catch you up- most of you have been everywhere I have been the past month- church, birthday parties by the dozens, etc. etc. so I am just gonna start fresh from here....
All is well in the Cantrell household. We are trying the potty training thing with Kaden- which I say very lightly considering he maybe goes potty once a day when it is on the potty.... this is the part I wish you could send them to school to learn ;) His baby bed broke so he is now on a toddler mattress in the floor until we find some (duh duh dum) bunk beds. I know-you don't have to say it- Kyle needs a reservation to the ER for when we actually get them- but considering I caught him just the other day trying to jump off the dresser (very top) ALL the way across the room to the mattress Kaden sleeps on- I think bunk beds surely can't do much more damage ("Lord-you know my son- Please watch over his spider-monkey-flying-squirrel-self" Amen) I am growing used to the sound of crash/thump/bump/roll "I'm OKAAAAYYYY!!" Maybe I need to lock him in my padded cell for a while :)

Singing season is back in full swing. They have 6 or so bookings for now. (Yay- I know you just heard my shrill scream of excitement ;) I missed Big Cove's singing Friday night because Kyle had a stomach bug. Kaylee and JD went on without us. She couldn't miss it - especially when she figured out it was at THE Porter Kelly's Church! Who knew at 8 years old you that you #1- remember where a boy goes to church and #2 go to a singing just to see him? (& before you think I am that mother that pushes this type of behavior- think again... I was getting one child out of the germ infested house in hopes that we didn't have another epidemic of vomiting like we have had in the past- it just so happened that was the only place I could send her) Boyfriends and the drama that follows them aren't welcome in my house for a very long time... I have enough boys to tend to that LIVE here... I need no extras thank-you-very-much....

And to offer up an excuse for my anti-blogging-slump I have been in... I am sitting at the table.... living room tv blaring whatever Kyle is watching... Kaylee has hollered my name at least 5 times in the last 10 minutes- only to tell me she is out of the bathtub- which she gets her self out of every night- but tonight it required an announcement to the neighbors.... and Kaden just took a face dive off of the toy box and will have a gigantic bruise on his arm- to match the two on his leg- that I will feel the need to explain to anyone who sees them like I am going to be reported to DHR ....remember that peace and quiet and my little "coffee break" I used to get in the mornings... GONE.... I am living in the middle of a war zone from the hours of 8am-10pm.... It is hard to focus on what I was supposed to be putting in the washing machine let alone come up with a few paragraphs of my crazy madness to share with you all..... I am going to try to have a weekly blog time- but let me get adjusted to school (I know- it started a month ago- but I am a slow- have mercy!)

Want to see what the kids look like these days.... let me see what pics I have on this computer....


Joycelynn Grace- 10 days old... (she isn't mine- but oooo ain't she pretty :)



First Day of School.... may have posted this already....



Bff's - this child has been at my house alot this summer... and Kaylee often offers to trade Kyle for her.....



Bless it.... but now he knows how I feel... no privacy in this house!



Oh Mom... please let me have a skating party... Pleeeaasseee...



Skating rink floor 1- Kaylee 0.....  forgot to mention that she can't skate....



Kyle took horse-shoes to a new level....

And such is life... its all good- crazy- but good. I now have to go blow dry Kaylee's hair, give the boys a bath, get clothes/lunch/snacks/backpacks ready for tomorrow and hopefully sit back down before 10... and figure out where the remote control has wondered off to today (under bed, down in recliner, on the back of the toilet.... we are never really sure of its whereabouts :)

Good night all!

Bless you. This entire post made me tired. I can't imagine!

I seen Kaylee at Big Cove Friday night and I said ''You are gorgeous, you must be a Cantrell!'' and she GLADLY let me know that she, indeed, was Kaylee Cantrell! Lol

I also told her I had seen her on the computer singing Justin Bieber and she was beyond surprised that it was on the computer! She just couldn't believe that her mom had put that on her blog. I believe she said something along the lines of ''I'm gonna get her!'' Ha!
