Feeling Chillin'
Hearing noggin

Hello?

I'm long overdue with an update, huh?  Geez!

No worries....Things here are good. 

I am doing well, the boys are doing great, and Avion is going to be home soon!  Yay!  He is supposed to be flying out of Iraq on the twenty-third of NEXT MONTH!  From there he will fly to Kuwait and from Kuwait he will be on his way HOME!  Notice I said 'supposed' to be flying out on the twenty-third.  I say that because with the Army you never know what's going to happen.  Tomorrow they could tell us something totally different and then something different the next day, etc. etc. 

I am beyond excited.  Just imagining seeing him again for the first time and having him home for good brings about an emotion that I can't even find the words to describe.  It seems almost unreal to me.  It's hard for me to even imagine him being home again.  I've gotten so used to him not being here and doing everything on  my own.  I've gotten used to doing ALL of the cooking and cleaning, giving the boys their baths every single night, doing ALL the laundry, just doing EVERYTHING. 

See, lucky for me, Avion is one of those husbands who actually does stuff to help out.  If I cook, he does the dishes.  If he cooks, I do the dishes.  He always makes the coffee, because I hate doing it  ::grin::.  We take turns doing laundry and giving the boys their baths.  He takes out the trash, etc. 

I hate to brag, but my hubby is 'da bomb'!!  LMAO!  (I'm such a nerd)

 

Another thing I've gotten used to is going to bed all alone every single night.  =(

NOT  MUCH LONGER!!  ::WINK WINK::

WOOOOO-HOOOO!!!!!!!!!  YAY!!!!!!!!!!!  =)

::pulling my mind out of the gutter::

 

I'm trying to think of anything interesting that's happened recently, but I can't really pinpoint just one or two things.  There's been lots going on!

Lets see....

Isaiah will be ten months old on the twenty-ninth.  He has four teeth.  He's crawling and scooting around everywhere.  He's getting into everything, and he eats more than the other two boys combined!  Okay, I'm exaggerating a bit.  But seriously, that boy can EAT! 

Monaray is doing good.  I really wish he would have started school this year though, because he really gets on my damn nerves.  I'm sorry, but I'm just being honest!  It's always SOMETHING with him.  Either he's thirsty, or he wants a snack, or he wants to watch something else, or he wants to paint, or he wants this, or he needs that.  UGH!

And poor Isaiah.....Monaray never ever leaves him the hell alone!  NEVER.  He feels the need to constantly be all up in his face, jumping all around him, pulling him around, just always messing with him.  If Isaiah could talk I'm sure he would tell Monaray to shut the f**k up and get the hell away from him.  No, Isaiah loves him.  He's constantly laughing at everything his big brothers do and trying to follow them around everywhere. 

 

Oh yeah....before I forget....did any of you hear that Hell froze over last week?  Yep, it's true.  It really did.  You want to know why???

Because Avion (lil' avion, that is) MADE THE HONOR ROLL AT SCHOOL!!!!! 

That's right!  He sure did.  He brought home a report card filled with nothing but A's and B's!  I was SO proud and so was he!  He ran into the house, pulled the report card out of his backpack, and handed it to me.  The whole time he was was smiling from ear to ear. 

I looked at the grades and I was certain that I had the wrong child's report card.  I had to look at the name closely to make sure I had the right one.  LOL

What an improvement from last year.  Last year he struggled just to pass the third grade and this year he is making the honor roll.  I'm so happy! 

 

On a much less happy note.....

My Grandpa passed away exactly two weeks ago today.   He would have been 82 years old next month.  He was just diagnosed with cancer this past June.  That's how fast and abruptly it spread.  Very soon it was covering his entire body and he just couldn't fight it any longer. 

The last week of his life was very rough, with the last two days being extremely hard to even witness.  I sat right by his side during the last days of his life, just holding his hand, talking to him, and telling him how much we all loved him.  He was able to speak (barely) up until the last day, when he was no longer able to say anything at all.  The day prior to that, he was ableto get a few words out, although it was a great struggle.  He did manage to tell me that he loved me though, and I will cherish those words from him for the rest of my life.  He was so weak, so sick, and so fragile, and yet he still managed to get out a very soft "I love you."  I just cried.  It's all I could do. 

I have an Uncle named Edward (my moms brother....my grandparents son) and he started driving down from Wyoming very early on Monday (the day before my Grandpa passed away).  We all kept telling my Grandpa over and over again (even though he couldn't really respond) that "Edward is on his way".  We reminded him over and over again.  Edward kept calling to let us know exactly where he was and how much longer he would be.  Every time he would call, one of us would go into the room where my Grandpa was (he died at home) and tell him "Edward is about to be here.....He is almost here."

Well, Edward arrived at my Grandparents house just before 11:00 pm on Tuesday night, October 10 and my Grandpa passed away about 15 minutes later. 

We truly believe that he was waiting on Edward. 

When Edward arrived, he went straight into the room where my Grandpa was and said "I'm here Daddy, I'm here."  "I drove all the way down from Wyoming to see you Daddy....I'm here now."  ::pause::  "Aren't you gonna talk to me Daddy?"

At that moment, my Grandpa gasped, as if he wanted so badly to talk to his son, he just couldn't.  That was the first movement of any type that he had made all day. 

A few minutes later, my Grandpa took his final breath.

 

May God Bless You Grandpa.  I love you and miss you dearly.

Hearing madagascar

finally on the downhill

....that's right.  We are officially on the downhill slide for Avion to come home!  YAY!!

He "heard" that all of his guys should be home BY December 2nd.  I hope it's true.  Then again, with the Army things can change everyday.  December 2nd is 159 days away.  Looking at it in days seems forever away, huh?  ::sigh::

He is doing well though.  Just missing home like crazy.  Luckily we get to talk at least every-other day, sometimes more often.  I'll usually put him on speaker phone for a few minutes so me and the boys can all talk to him together.  Isaiah always tries to grab the phone away from me.

Speaking of Isaiah....

He is getting SO big!  My goodness, that boy can EAT!  He normally eats two jars of baby food (the bigger, stage 2 ones, I might add)  in the morning and two more jars in the evening.  Plus his regular eight-ounce bottles about every three hours during the day. 

He is such a good baby.  He sticks to his schedule perfectly.  That makes things so much easier on me.  He goes to be anywhere between around nine o'clock at night, sleeps anywhere between nine and ten o'clock in the morning, naps from two o'clock in the afternoon till about six or six-thirty ...then it starts all over again!

Monaray and Avion are doing good too.  They've been sleeping till almost noon every single day because we are outside with all of the neighbors every night till pretty late and they stay out there with us, playing with all of the other kids. 

In the last couple of months I have become really good friends with my neighbors.  There are three different girls (or ladies, or whatever!) that I hang out with every night.  One of their husbands is also in Iraq, one of them is here, and the other ones husband is home from Iraq right now because he has to have back surgery.  They are all really nice and fun to be around.  I'm the youngest one though.  All the other ones are in their thirties. 

I wish I had more to write about but life hasn't been real exciting lately.  =)

Sorry to add my pictures this way.  I'm being lazy today.

Feeling Chillin'
Hearing gamecube

nothing in particular

I've been such a slacker in the journal department lately. 

I just don't ever really feel like writing.  It's not that I don't have anything exciting to share, because I always do.  I just don't feel like it!  Nothing against any of you.

Things here are good.  It's finally summer vacation and I am more than excited about it. 

No more waking up at six thirty in the morning, no more packing a lunch box everyday, no more dealing with homework, no more making sure baths are given before eight thirty, etc etc etc.....

You would think that I would hate summer vacation, since that means there is one more kid in the house all day, everyday.  But, that's not the case with me. 

I actually like it better when Avion is here because he helps keep Monaray entertained.  I don't let Monaray play outside (out front, at least) by himself, so when Avion is here they can play outside all their little hearts desire. 

They come in every now and then for a snack or something to drink, but other than that they pretty much leave me the hell alone!  Thank God. 

Well, they do play their game systems a lot too.  But when they are on those, I don't hear a peep out of them either.

Except......

When Monaray trips the f**k out when he's playing a game and he dies or loses or whatever. 

Or.....

When the two of them fight over who is going to play which game.  Even though they have approximately 937509884598 games. 

Oh, the joys of Motherhood  =)

Isaiah is growing like a weed.  He is getting to be such a big boy.  It's sad though.  I'm not ready for my baby boy to grow up.  Not yet.

He eats from a spoon now.  Very well too, I might add!  He sits up.  He coos and laughs all the time.  He just recently learned how to blow bubbles and apparently he loves doing it because he has done it non-stop since Wednesday.  He even drank from a sippy cup the other day for the first time  =) 

sippycup.jpg

I just hate the fact that Avion is missing out on all of it.  A baby's first year is a very critical part of their life and he is missing it all.  It breaks his heart as well.  Poor guy. 

Avion and I have still been getting to talk just about every day, sometimes every other day.  Can you believe this deployment is almost half-way over???  Well, I can believe it!  To me it seems like he has been gone for years. 

No, but really.  This first half has actually gone by pretty fast now that I look back.  I just hope this second half flies on by. 

My twenty-fifth birthday was last Sunday.  It was cool, I guess.  I didn't do anything really exciting.  My parents came over.  My mom brought me a cake and a gift from the boys....It was a new, really cute bathing suit!  Also, my friends/neighbors got me a cake and they all sang Happy Birthday to me and we all sat outside, drank, acted stupid, and had a great time! I got to talk to Avion twice that day, so that was my favorite gift of all  =)

Well, my cigarettes are calling my name......Mandy come smoke us, Mandy come smoke us.....so I should go now  =)

If you're bored enough, take a look at these two videos that I took of the boys today.

HOT

                                          justmandy2.jpg

It is so damn hot outside.  I think it's approximately 700 degrees outside.  The boys are outside swimming in their little kiddie pool.  I started to go lay out on the trampoline, but the people next door are having a birthday party and I didn't want to look like an ass, laying out on my trampoline.  Maybe tomorrow.  Believe me, I need some sun BAD!  I'm starting to look like casper.

I talked to Avion this morning.  He's doing good.  Just homesick, as usual.  I had to mail him a portable DVD player last week because he had forgotten his here, and I mailed that one to him, but before he received it he was borrowing his gunners.....and he broke it!  It accidentally fell off of his bed, so I had to go buy that guy another one.  Oh well.  Shit happens. 

mysoldier.jpg

Get this.....next month we are already going to be HALF WAY thru this deployment!!  WOO-HOO!!!!  Sometimes it feels like the time is dragging by, but when I look back, it's actually moving along pretty fast! 

keepdaddysafe2.jpg

(this is actually a magnet that i have on the back of my truck)

Isaiah had his 4 month check-up yesterday.  It's a little late, because he turned 4 months old on the 29th of last month!  Oops!  He's doing wonderful.  He now weighs 14 pounds 2 ounces and he is 24 3/4 inches long.  He has pretty bad eczema, but other than that he is 100% healthy!  He is also 100% LAZY.  I put him to bed anywhere between 8:00 and 9:00 every night and he doesn't wake up until around 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning, and sometimes even later!  THAT'S MY BOY!!!  =)

may11-09.jpg

may12-07.jpg

The other two maniacs, I mean boys, are doing good also.  Just being themselves!  Avion's last day is the 26th of this month.  I'm so ready!  I'm SO tired of waking up in the mornings, dealing with homework, packing lunches, etc.  I know I'm going to be so ready for him to go back to school in August, but for now I'm ready for summer break! 

may12-01.jpg

(Monaray standing in the corner....LOL!)

avion-rollerblading1.jpg

Tomorrow my Dad is taking my Mom and I out to eat for Mother's Day.  I think we're going to Ryan's.  All you can eat.....that's my kind of place! 

Avion and the boys got me a beautiful white gold necklace for Mother's Day.  I've been wanting one of these and I finally got one! 

mynecklace.jpg

Oh yeah.....look what I did to the boys today......

LMAO!!  YES, I'm going to cut it all off tonight.  I just thought it would be funny to let them have mohawks for one day!  =)

 

Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommy's out there!

Hearing avion playing gamecube

I would write in here more often, BUT.....

......i can't seem to find time for the computer, and when i DO find the time, I can't pry myself away from myspace.  It's so darn addicting.

Things around here are good.  Just four more weeks of school and it's summer break!  Woo-Hoo!!  Not that I'm the one going to school or anything, I just hate waking up at 6:30 every morning to get little Avion's SLOW ass ready for school.  He literally gets chewed out every morning.  I swear to God....the faster I tell him to do something, the SLOWER he does it.  I think he does it on purpose.  I think he likes aggravating me.  Little Fu**er.

Monaray has been less of a brat lately.  Thank goodness.  Believe me when I say that I have NO patience and NO sympathy for fits, temper tantrums, or anything even close.  Nope, not me.  Especially in public.  Oh my God.....NOTHING in this world pisses me off more.  Nothing. 

But, luckily I haven't had any issues like that lately.  Although, I know it's going to be Isaiah next.  ::sigh::

Speaking of my little fat butt.....He is doing great!  He turned four months old on Saturday.  Can you believe that?  I can't.  He's such a happy little thing.  Always smiling, cooing, and even laughing every now and then. 

I kiss him approximately 1,479,832 times a day.  I just can't help it.  He's just so darn kissable  =) 

isaiah-walker.jpg

I went to Wal-Mart earlier and bought Boombie AND Avion both their own gameboy advances.  I've been wanting to get them one, so I finally decided to go get it today.  Then I was thinking.....I cannot just buy one, because all they would do is fight over it all the damn time.  So, to save myself from hearing them fight and argue, I just bought them both one.  I got them each a game too.  I really wanted to buy the Super Mario game, but they were out.  And YES, I wanted it for ME.  LOL!!  It's the actual original Mario Bros.  Isn't that awesome??!!??

Avion called this morning.  He is doing fine.  Just really homesick.  I mailed him a package today.  He had forgotten his portable dvd player here, so I sent him that, along with some snacks, some OFF bug spray, some powdered juices, and a carton of cigarattes. 

Don't you think that we should be able to send the soldiers' mail for FREE??  I do. 

They write us for free, so I think we should be able to send them stuff for free.  Those care packages really add up after a while. 

Oh yeah....

Guess what  else I got???

A brand new, Dell Laptop!!  Woo-Hoo!!! 

I'm loving  it.  My other computer was such a piece of freakin crap.  This one is so nice and SO fast!  Yay!!

Okay, time for me to go now.  I've rambled enough.

Hearing cartoons

Blah

Avion headed back to Iraq yesterday after a very enjoyable two weeks at home.  It sucked saying goodbye to him again, but I think I'm almost getting used to it.  He called around 2:00am this morning to let me know he had made it to Frankfurt.  Next stop will be Kuwait, then Iraq.  He was extremely tired and he said the plane ride was very boring....especially since he forgot his portable DVD player in our truck!  I told him I'll mail it to him asap. 

I swear, Isaiah was a little angel the whole time Avion was home.  Now he is being a little poo-poo head again.  Ugh.  Last night I could not make him happy for the life of me.  Finally I put him to bed around 8:00.  At three-something this morning I heard him screaming.  I said "Babe, go get Isaiah."  Then I rolled over and realized that Avion wasn't here anymore.  Damn. 

So, I get out of my bed, go into Isaiah's room, and see him laying on his back, trippin out!  See, he sleeps on his tummy and he will roll over during the night and then get pissed because he can't get back over!  LOL! 

So, I put him back on his tummy and go back to my bed. 

One minute later......screaming again.

I go back in his room to find him on his back again and I roll him over again.

Another minute later......screaming again.

and so on and so on for about 30 minutes....

finally I brought him into my bed with me and he still wouldn't go back to sleep.  I was trying my hardest not to get up and make him a bottle because I don't want to make a habit of giving him a bottle in the middle of the night.  But, I finally got tired and frustrated enough.  I trotted my ass right downstairs, made an eight ounce bottle, went and fed him, and he knocked right out! 

About an hour and a half later my alarm clock went off.

Damn Damn Damn

I swear, every single morning I say to myself "Maybe I'll just let Avion stay home from school today."  LOL.  I'm such a lazy ass.  I always end up getting up though.....after hitting snooze about 14 times. 

Avion has a freakin science project tomorrow.  I'm sorry, but I do NOT remember having to do science projects in elementary school.  WTF?

Like he is really able to do a damn science project by himself.  Yeah right.  They should just send a note home to the parents that says: "Dear PARENTS, you have to do a science project for your kid and this is when it is due...."

Damnit.  Like I don't have a million other things to do on a daily basis. 

Okay, I'm done complaining. 

My mom is on her way over here.  She went to Wal-Mart for me to pick up a few last minute things for Avion's project so I didn't have to get out with the boys (It's raining, by the way).  Isnt' she great?

I'm getting too lazy to paste pictures to my journal, so I'm just taking the easy way out again.  Scroll thru them if you'd like.  If not, my feelings won't be hurt!

Feeling Happy
Hearing something on tv

I wouldn't recommend it

So, we just got back from Florida about 3 hours ago. 

Avion's grandaddy passed away and he got to come back from Iraq (again) for emergency leave to attend the funeral. 

Avion's plane arrived here at 4:00 on Thursday, we came home, he showered, we finished packing and loading up the truck, we stopped and ate wings, then hit the road around 9:30. 

We arrived in Florida around 4:30 or 5:00 on Friday evening, about 20 hours after departing.   

That's driving over 1,200 miles with THREE boys in the truck with us.

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT

Okay, it wasn't that bad.  But, I still wouldn't recommend it. 

For some reason Monaray and Lil' Avion never had to pee at the same damn time.  Go figure.  Yep, one of them had to go, then the other one decides they have to go 10 minutes after we leave the last gas station or rest stop.

On top of that, one of them is always hungry, one of their legs is always asleep, one of them won't stop touching the other one, one of them won't stop looking at the other one, one of them can't see the portable dvd player good enough, one of them won't stop fu**in whistling, one of them whines for candy the whole entire way, one of them won't stop kicking my seat, etc. etc. etc. 

And on top of that, we have a three month old baby who needs a (warm) bottle every 3 hours.  Yes, we have a car bottle warmer, but that thing sucks.  I should sue the makers of that thing.  It takes a good hour to get the damn bottle even a tad bit warm. 

Then, I have to depend on Lil' Avion to hold the bottle in his mouth.  Yeah, what a HUGE responsibility right?  Ugh.  You'd think that me asking him to hold a bottle in his little brothers mouth is like asking him to go run a damn marathon or something. 

Then, of course, he needs to be burped.  So....I have to have Lil' Avion unbuckle Isaiah and try to hand him to either me or Avion (whoever is not driving) so we can burp him.  Again, he acts like this is just the hardest thing in the fu**in world.   

So, we finally arrive in Florida (Ocala, to be exact) and we really had a great time.  Yes, we were there for a funeral.  But, besides the funeral, we had such a great time down there.  We've decided that when Avion retires out of the military that we are going to make Florida our home =)

His family is a TRIP, to say the least!  And I thought my family was crazy.  LOL

Yes, I was the only white person at a black church for a black funeral and yes, I stuck out like a sore thumb.  BUT....ask me if I cared??  HELL NO!!  LOL  =) 

On the way back, we stopped in Pensacola (Florida) at my ex-husbands (Monaray's "real" dad) Grandparents house, so that they could see Monaray.  They hadn't seen him since he was nine months old, so they were tickled to be able to see him and spend a little bit of time with him. 

So, the drive home was about the same as the drive there.  But, we left in the morning coming back, so the boys all went to sleep when it turned dark and slept all night, so it was a little better.  Plus, Avion drove a lot of the way while I slept! =)

I'm adding a LOT of pictures to this entry, so I'm just gonna do it the old fashioned way.  It'd take me all year to paste all these pics to my journal! 

Gosh, there's no place like home!  It's so great to be back in my OWN house!!

Family Portraits

Even though Monaray was being a little jerk-wad while we were trying to take pictures, here are the portraits we had made while Avion was home. 

I swear to God, Monaray was acting like he didn't know what the damn word SMILE meant.  But, oh well.  At least we have a picture of the whole family now!

Hearing monaray cry over something STUPID

Random Stuff...

mar10-02.jpg

I need some ear muffs.  That way I don't have to listen to Monaray cry over anything that doesn't go his way. 

Please tell me that this is a stage?!?!?!?

They should change the saying to "Terrible Twos AND Threes."

mar10-04.jpg

Lucky for me, Lil' Avion started back to school yesterday!  Spring Break was last week, so not only did I have to listen to Monaray be a little brat, I also had to listen to them fight over every damn thing and argue over everything imaginable.  I swear to God, if one of them told the other that Mommy's name is Mandy, they would argue about it. 

Ear muffs please.

Get this....We have three damn game systems in this house.  There is a GameCube in the living room, a PlayStation 2 in my room, and the V-Smile in the boys room.  We did that for a reason.....so there would be NO arguing.  But, do you think our idea worked?  Hell no.  Of course one of them always wants to play what the other one is playing.  Usually it's Monaray doing the fussing.  Ugh.  Annoying. 

Avion called this morning!  He seems okay, but I can tell he's sad to be away.  He told me that it sucks even worse now than before because he's actually met Isaiah now, and that it is really hard for him to be away from him since he is just a baby.  He said that he doesn't even feel motivated to do his job anymore.  I know it must be so hard, but I hope he continues to keep focused on his tough job.  He is a great soldier and takes great pride in what he does, so to hear him say something like that is really hard. 

The boys miss him so much too.  They tell me constantly that they miss Daddy and that they wish he was here.  This is going to sound really dumb, but I even think that Isaiah can sense that he is gone.  Go ahead, make fun of me.  But I really think it's true. 

A couple of nights after Avion left, Isaiah was having a screaming fit.  Nothing would please him.  I held him, I fed him, I rocked him, I walked around with him, I gave him gas drops.....everything.  Well, finally I thought to myself "Maybe he can sense that his Daddy is gone" (Since he did hold him 24 freakin7!).  So, I went upstairs to the dirty clothes hamper and pulled out the last shirt that Avion wore while he was here, hoping that it would still have his scent on it.  It did!  I took it downstairs, laid Isaiah on the couch, and placed the shirt over him and near his face.  He immediately stopped crying.  I kid you not.  I am not making this up.  Not only did he stop crying, but he also started to smile and coo.  It broke my heart.

Here is a picture.  And you can tell by looking at his face, especially his eyes, that he had been crying.

mar18-02.jpg

You want to know what I'm getting really really tired of hearing???  "So, are you gonna try for a little girl?"

HELL NO PEOPLE!

What do you think I am?  Insane?? 

I promise you, I cannot go out into public with the boys without being asked that at least once.  I'm just going to start leaving my house with a sign on my forehead that says "NO, I'm not going to try for a little girl, I'm not having any more kids, so DON'T ASK that stupid ass question!!!!"

We found out that after Avion returns from Iraq, that our next duty station is going to be Ft. Carson, Colorado!  Yay!!  I'm so excited.  I've lived here my whole entire life, so I'm more than ready to say Adios Texas!  Plus, my closest friend since the 7th grade lives in Manitou Springs, CO, which is only 11 miles away from Ft. Carson!!  =)

Okay, I've rambled long enough.  I'll end with some more pictures!
