Birthday and recording for the future

Today is my 29th birthday. I have alot of good goals and hopes for this last year in my 20's. Hard to believe!

When I started this blog, I tried to record the fun things we were doing as a family, what my kids did in school, etc. But I realized that this blog has become a record of my family and one day I hope to print it out and put it in my families scrapbooks etc, so that they have this record of our family.

Because of that, I feel the need to put in here what this past week has been like. It isnt pleasant, but it is life, and it should be recorded.

About two weeks ago I found out I was pregnant. I was thrilled as my body started to change in the small ways that happen when you first become pregnant. On sunday April25th, I miscarried. For some reason, miscarriages tend to be a bit taboo, people dont talk about them much, but for me, it is a part of my families history. Its been a rough week, my body was to low on iron and i was sad, but this is part of my history.

To top that off, it was the birthday of my nephew Moses just a couple of days later, I miss him so much. He is a perfect angel now.

We found out yesterday that we are very lucky to have our Marlee girl, her pulse/ox test came back, we had hoped her surgery had worked, but it didnt. Her average o2 level was 88 and it dropped below 50 % at times. She was started on oxygen last night. She now has the big o2 concentrator and all the goodies that go along with it. She had a rough night but it should get easier. She goes in for a sleep study at st louis on may13th, so we can find out why this is happening to her.

It seems as though alot of sadness has happened but I feel so blessed. I have a family that loves me, my daughter is safe because of modern medicine, my birthday is good because I set goals for the next year of my life and I like that.
I have friends and family and I love them more than words can say. This is my history, my record for today, april 29th 2010

So Much To Do!!!!

Today was spent outside!!! The weather was perfect for getting my lovely yard in order!! Finished mowing around the raspberries and the honeysuckle and grape vines..Always a task, plus have to weed around the things that the mower can't get to! Dylan was a hard worker and helped me weed around the trampoline :) He is so dang cute. He was like " Im such a hard worker" yup, you are son!!
The big "project" of the day was getting our sunflower garden ready. Last year we planted a "fairy garden" for the girls, this year we are planting a sunflower garden in that spot, so we are really excited. We have 4 different varieties of sunflowers and they are planted and ready to grow!! Once they are big enough, the little wooden and iron puppy bench will go in the garden for the kiddos to sit under the sunflowers! Sunflowers make me happy. :)
I also finally got the poor birds some new suet for the feeder in front of the dining room window.. its been a few days and they kind of look at me like, hello, did you forget me????
Tomorrow it is supposed to be nice out again, hopefully, so the plan is to get the side of the house all ready to plant... We have 9 fruit trees that line the hill on the side of the house, plus a big fence, oh and a highway up the hill, lol, but we have kind of a neat little spot tucked away from things, and we put a swing over there and solar lights last year. This year we are planting moonflowers, etc... things that will look spectacular at night, and maybe some more solar lights and a table, etc... so that we can have a comfy little spot to hang out at night. Or snuggle. :) I like to snuggle at night on the swing with my kiddos and hubby.
Later in the summer, we have a biiig project planned, but only if money allows. A patio with a chimnea :) Don't you just love that word??? Chimnea. Yup, i had to say it again!!!
Unfortunately, before we go outside tomorrow, we have to clean bedrooms. Yikes. Hopefully we will make it outside hahaha!!! If no one sees us outside, you may need to come search for us, because we are buried under transformers and care bears!!!!!!
I will be going to my inlaws soon to borrow their computer... I miss sooo much having pictures on here!!! It stinks! But I've found a new computer, I just have to save a bit more and I can get it, whew. It is soooooo needed!!!!
Have a fantastic day and know I love you all!!!!! :) Love, JL

So frustrated... and goals for school

Wierd title I know. Im so frustrated with my computer. I can't upload any pictures which makes my blog quite dull :( I can barely write on here without it clicking me off and jamming up my computer. We will see how it goes. Defintely time for a new computer. Anyone wanna make a donation to the help Jaelle get a computer fund HAHAHA!!

We are currently on "summer" break from homeschool, so we basically do alot of fun activities and not so much actual school work. All three kids are done with their "grade level" for the year, so we are having some fun. Here are my goals this week:
Begin teaching Dylan cursive ( this will be done in a calm, fun way, so he ends up loving it!!!!!)
Plant our Venus Fly Trap that we bought from the zoo!!! So cool!
Identify the beautiful gems from the Native American Store that I bought about 2 months ago... yup, just now getting around to doing that lol
Continue reading the general conference talks and playing bingo with different assorted treats :)
Plant Sunflowers in back yard ( doing this today hopefully)
Listen to the Honesty cd from Valuesparenting.com SOO excited for this... It's Alexanders Amazing Adventures and you get one each month, 12 values to teach your kids!!!!!
Thats school for the week..... good goals :)
Plus the normal playing outside as long as it is nice, making dinners, laundry, all that normal good stuff!!!
Love, JL

All I want for my birthday is.....

A new computer :( I am just barely able to type this... it is taking about 10 minutes for each word to appear it seems like. Sheesh.
So, I guess the bad news is the birthday giveaway is over. I had hoped to do a full 30 days of giveaways, but to all of you who played, and won, your gifts are on the way..... It was fun wasnt it??????

Today has been a rough day, the computer is broke, and my tummy has been soooo sick
:( I hope im not getting the flu, that is the last thing we need!!!!
My heart has been full with love and prayers for my friends, alot of them have been going through really rough times and have asked for prayers and I have defintely been praying hard. I love you all so much. I wish there was a way I could make things better, but I know that my prayers do at least get heard by Him.

Im hoping to go to Nauvoo tomorrow... we will have to see how I feel. I just need to feel the spirit there that is so strong and lovely :) Umm... I guess that is all for now. Im going to go lay down for a bit :)
Love, JL

BIRTHDAY PRESENT # 13!!!!

AND THE WINNER IS..... MISS JESSICA!!!!!!!!!
THANKS TO RANDOM.ORG FOR MAKING IT FAIR!!! NOW I CANT WAIT TO GET STARTED ON MAKING THE CD!! LOL... IM SUCH A DORK! :)



Man, April is flying by!!! Its getting closer and closer to my actual birthday.. April 29th. Man, Im going to be 29 on the 29th!! lol.

Ok, so this is kind of a fun present. Remember how in the early 90's everyone made "mix tapes" for each other... All their favorite songs on a cassette tape and then gave it away?? I thought, how fun would it be if I gave away a "mix" cd of my favorite songs??????? I want this to be about things I love, and so far I have LOVED everything I've given away.. So I was thinking about it last night, and I think today is the day. Im giving away a "mix" cd of my favorite songs!!!!!!!!!
It will be a big ole surprise!!!!!!!! :)

I know its kind of a silly present, but its from my heart. We will get back to cool presents tomorrow lol! I just wanted to do something personal. :)

Leave me a comment and tell me something fantastic lol. I will choose the winner using random.org tonight!!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

300 posts, a smooshed foot and the zoo

I am trying hard to stick some regular posts in here in between giving away my brithday presents :)
I just realized that I have written over 300 posts on this blog!! CRAZY!!!! I am soo excited! YAY for 300 posts!!!!
Now for the tale of the smooshed foot... this has happened twice now in the same place!!! We go to Keiths grandmas.. and first it was Marlee, and this time it was Sydney.. their foot gets slammed in the door!!!!!!!! So Sydney had to of course milk it for all it was worth haha :) She did have a little bruise.. but shes fine and dandy now :)
Now for the zoo!!! We had a blast at the St Louis Zoo today!! Go here to see how cool it is ST LOUIS ZOO

It was the first day of the cardinals season... so the red tshirts were everywhere!! It wasnt to busy and we had such a great time.. we rode the train, and got to see all the animals. We were pooped out when we got home, but it was well worth it to see my kids happy faces as they inspected each and every animal that was there! We just kept talking about how wonderful our Heavenly Father is to have created all these neat animals!!!
So thats my day... check back in tomorrow for another birthday present!! :)
Love you all, JL

I am going to sit in the sunshine today. I am going to read a book!!! I am going to snuggle my kids and kiss them so much they may not have skin left!! I am going to take a bubble bath and relax. Hopefully, with this little break from the computer etc.. I can have the strength to continue doing the things that I feel are so important.. which is love my friends, write, advocate for LDS homeschooling and help people connect. I love those things.

Bike Crash!!!

I am still trying to throw a regular blog post in here now and then.....
Today Dylan had his first bike wreck. It was awful!!! He landed on his FACE!!!!
Poor baby!!! He stood up spitting gravel out of his mouth!! My neighbor ( whose house he crashed right in front of) came running out of her door, I came running down the street... we had friends over to play and she was trying to round up all the little kids and get bikes out of the street... as I was getting Dylan inside, my youngest Sydney ( the very onery one) decided to sneak off on her bike and I caught her almost to the main road... just as my sister in law and brother in law were turning in to deliver a tire for my husband!!! AAAAHHHH!!! CHAOS!!!!
Well, Dylan is ok now, but he may have a scar on his eyebrow... I told him most BMX bikers have battle scars.. he thought that was ok. His cheek has road rash, his elbow is busted up and his knee is too... Poor little man. He's so brave though. No tears, just almost passed out !!!!! Yikes!!!
Its hard being a momma. But I know that bike wrecks happen, so we just have to stay calm and deal with it :)
I love my babies :)

My Easter Gift To You...

A gentle reminder of why we celebrate this holiday...
As I read my scriptures last night, I focused on the last days of Christs life. As I read , the Spirit was strong, reminding me that He died for me too.... I am always so thankful for His gift to the world.. but sometimes feel as though Im not worthy of this precious gift. Last night as I read, I was reminded that He died for me too. No matter what. Just like He died for you. With his stripes, we are healed. My gift to you.... a reminder of how much He loves you.
No birthday presents today.. just sweet thoughts of love for my friends, love for my Savior, and love for the resurrection of Christ.
Love, JL

Sunshine Day

I wanted to stick a regular post in here... because I love to blog!!!!
Yesterday and today have been a blast!!! Yesterday it was gorgeous!!!!
Sunny and about 80 degrees! We played outside with all the neighbors in the morning, I got to swing on my big ole swing and talk with my neighbor for like an hour!! How I love the company of other women!
Then we got picked up by another friend and we went to the school playground with her and her kids ! They used to live across the street from us and we miss them!! It was sooo much fun to see the kids play, they were so happy to see each other! I even convinced my friend to swing on the swing set with me!!! ( which by the way is quite a workout! my kind of workout! ) Unfortunately those couple hours in the bright hot sun gave me quite the beautiful tomato face! ( its ok though!!)
After we got home from that, we immediatly headed to our next door neighbors and played in the hose!! LOL! My kids were sooo filthy and wet!! Time for bubble baths after that!
Today was an equally nice day.. my hubby was home :) We had a good time running some errands and then playing outside in our backyard ( again with a bunch of neighbor kids, we are really blessed, that the kids have built in friends!) Dylan and his friend Chandler dug for treasure in their big digging hole ( yes i really have a big hole in the middle of my backyard, with a bunch of shovels and stuff in it just so my kids can dig to china if they wish!!) The girls jumped on the trampoline with two other neighbor girls and Keith and I sat back and relaxed and watched!
I ran to my friends house for just a bit, for some mommy time, just to chat and then tonight we headed out to see my parents and aunt vonnie.
The kids are headed towards bed now and I am ready to crash!!! Everyone have an awesome evening!! Don't forget to check back in tomorrow!! Birthday Present #3 will be posted and ready to win!! This has been so much fun for me. How I love my friends and love making new ones!
Love, JL
