MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Happy Holidays Everyone! This Christmas has been a good one.. We were around family and that always makes a good Christmas, Gabe had MANY MANY MANY!!! presents to open and to play with, if he doesn't get them taken away....LOL... We had snow a couple of days ago so Gabe had some snow to pack into his dump truck and haul around... Eli, pretty much just slept through Christmas, but he still had presents that Dad opened for him.. Gabe and Eli got Grandpa and Grandma a present, Well they made them a present, I think it's the cutest thing EVER! They did a very good job on it, At least I think so anyway... Way to go boys

IN LOVING MEMORY............. You Will Be Missed......

Don't have happy news to report right now... We had a shakey start for this month.. My best friend of 24 years,Alisha, lost her husband, Ray, on December 2 He ofcourse was my friend for 10 or so years.. They have 3 beautiful children, whose names are Caydean, Raelynn, and Jose... As it is always sad when a loved one is taken away sooner then we would like, I hope and pray that he is now in a better place. I honestly believe that he could no longer deal w/ the demons in his mind, maybe now he can.. Alisha along w/ the kids are doin alright, good as could be exspected that is. Their days are going to be long and tedious after a thing like this, but I take comfort in knowing that she is a very strong person. She will be strong enough for herself as well as her children... I would of liked to post a picture of him on here.. But I do not have one on this computer. Maybe one later, if I can get one. I couldn't and nor would do I want to imagine the loss of a son, brother, husband or Dad.
To Ray's mother, father, and sister, wife, and children... My prays and many others are w/ you... Love you guys and I am deeply sorry for your loss....

New Beginings

As of November 14 we have a new bundle of joy. His name is Elijah Ryan Dennis, he weighed 7 lbs 14.9 oz and was 20 inches long. He's a very healthy baby boy... He was a 1/4 inch shorter then Gabe, but weighed almost a pound heavier.... He gave us quite a lil scare when he was born, he wasn't breathin for the first minute that he was out... I guess he took a deep breath as they were breakin my water, when he was in the birth canal... Scared the crap out of me, but if he is anything like his big brother that will be the first of many heart attacks that the kid will give me... Hopefully with this one he wont be as spoiled as our first bundle of joy..... Gabe I think is still gettin use to the idea of a lil brother.... He keeps callin Eli, Kian which is a friend of ours baby.... For the most part thought Gabe doesn't really realize that he has a brother, as long as he can go outside and play w/ the puppys he's great... and when he can't then he gets a lil testy, but what can we do.... I'll try and get Eli's web site up and goin but I'm not on my computer so it's a lot harder cuz I don't have my resizin program so I'll have to do something different... Well Hope ya enjoy the pictures that I can post... Have a great day everyone...

Gotta Love Country Life!

Well folks we're gettin down to the wire here... We have about a week or so left before the lil "No Name" comes...(Crossin fingers and hopein its A LOT sooner then 2 weeks...) Last nite was a close call.. I'm sick so most of the day was spent layin on the couch feelin like I was gunna die for a good part of the day... Thank God for Grandma and Grandpa... If it was not for them my kid probably would of shot himself or someone or something... He has saw his father shoot his gun along w/ his Uncle Chance. Now my kid bein the lil angel that he is, decided yesterday that he was gunna "go and shoot a deer" as he says...So he goes into the closet and sees Grandpa's 22 mag.. So he reaches in there and pulls the trigger on the 22.... I, being sick was passed out on the couch and didn't even hear it... Grandma said that it was just a lil pop sound.. Which I guess would exsplain why I wouldn't hear it... Now I realize all the people out there may read this and freak out... So let me clear some things up.. 1st off.. Gabe knows that guns are bad and that he's not suppose to pick em up and play w/ em.. Secondly, beings how we are out in the country and there are a lot of wild animals around here that may or may not have some sort of sickness, That ofcourse Grandpa has to shoot.. Which is why the gun has to be in the closet there and loaded u sure wouldn't want some rabid animal out there bittin or chasin ur kid or ur dog while ur inside lookin for the bullets to shoot this damn animal....
Anyway after that I got up and was ofcourse walkin around like a zombie.. As I'm sittin on the chair, my belly starts hurtin something aweful... Not thinkin that runnin to town is what we need to do at this point cause it didn't feel like contractions just a pressure... An annoyin pressure but pressure all the same.. Grandma who is a well known worry wort... Ask me if we need to take a trip into town.. (thinkin that her next lil grandson is on the way) I say no I don't think so... Told her it was more pressure then anything... That I was fine.. Well ofcourse she didn't buy that, exspecially since I would just be sittin there and the next thing I knew I'm makin a reverse shhh sound(not sure how to describe that).... She looks at me again and says "Kass, Do we NEED to go to town???" With a very stern i'm gunna kick ur ass, if u lie to me tone....(which if ya know her thats only cuz she hates to see her husband, kids, grandkids, even her dog in any kind of pain, pretty much anyone in general) Again I told her no... So she tells me that she'll stop naggin me if I call my doctor and see what he says... So I say fine and give him a lil jingle, They inform me that if I wanted to I could come in but they thought that I would just get sent home anyway... Which would really suck cuz I don't wanna go into town (which is an hour away) all for nuttin.. Thats just a waste of gas... and gas as it turns out is very exspensive... So I'm glad she made me call...Anyway, she told me that the baby is just movein down so his head is pushin on my cirvics and that is the pain that I'm feelin. Which gotta say some times was very VERY exscrutiating...
Our lil " No Name" has I believe found a name.. I'm not really sure if I'm 100% in love w/ it, but ofcourse I wasn't exactly 100% in love w/ Gabe's name either.. The name that I believe we have decided on is Elijah Keoni. I know your wonderin what Keoni means.. It's Hawaiian for God is gracious..... Yes, I know it sounds funny, but it'll grow on ya.. and if ya don't oh well I guess.. Its all I got until I think of a different one.... I suppose that is all I have right now until something new happens.. Which will probably be when Elijah is born..... Have a Happy Thanksgivin Day....

A Lovely Day Out

Well it has been a crazy 2 weeks... Gabe I have realized is the bigger adventurer I believe I know.. Which I try not to discourage that, but it scares me just the same. For the reason that out here in the country there is SOOOOO much that he could get hurt on. Of course there is a lot that he gets to explore and and have fun with... Doesn't make it any more scarier for his mom though... Like most mom's I have an over active mind. I always think of the worst. The horse stomped on him, he feel in the water tank and is hurt really bad... Ya know stuff like that. Today we went to Sturgis today with the grandparents. Good day, kinda chilly lil windy and lookin like it was gunna rain.. Wish it would have, wish my brat was a lil less crabby, but it was a good day.. G-ma bought Gabe a Bop Bag... The toy (for those who don't know!) that when ya hit it, it falls over and then stands back up.. GABE LOVED THIS TOY!!! As G-ma suspected. Again I should never doubt G-ma. I have learned this fact... Just don't think she needs to spend her hard earned money on my spoiled brat.. (Yes, I know that is a grandparents job.) But I have one of these Bop Bags packed somewhere.. That I could of found, I'm sure... She also bought "lil no name" the cutest lil snow suit. It has baby Taz on it. For those of u who don't know I LOVE TAZ!!! Whenever I see Taz stuff (exspecially baby Taz...) I have to buy it... Or at least whine and complain until I get it... LOL... Anyway, Thanks to the grandparents for lettin us tag along with them to town.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VIC!!!! Hope u have a great day today kid...

Have a Great Nite everyone!!!

Nothing New Just Rambling

Don't have anything to report.. But for the last week or so Dad and I have been tryin to figure out why in the world the blog wont post pics that we pick from the comp.. So I thought I would jump on today and try it out.. See what I could figure out... Which for all the people who know me, that isn't much... Lol...
As u can see from the pictures that I could get on here.. Gabe is up to makin a mess again... Grandma was makin homemade bread and ofcoures whenever Grandma is in the kitchen cookin or bakin something Gabe has to be right there "helpin" her... I should of taken a pic of Grandma cuz the front of Grandma just might of had just as much flour on her as Gabe did.. Well until next time... Have a Great Day all...

A Day Out!

Today Myself, the Lil Monster, and the Grandparents (we'll just call them the "SPOILERS") went into Sturgis today. Grandpa was goin in to the doctor to see about a nasty virus thingy that he has, and to see about his contacts cuz he's just not gettin along to well w/ em.. They're suppose to make him see a LOT better and they're not doin they're job so he went in.. I and the Lil Monster tagged along so I could buy him some new shoes as his toes are startin to push through the tops of the old ones.. (I've said it before and I'll say it again.. He has his fathers feet..LOL) I made Grandma join us in this adventure.. The Grandparents have decided to buy Gabe some snow boots and snow pants for the same very reason I call them the "Spoilers" .. "just cuz he needs em" they keep tellin me... Alright, I caved on that.. I suppose they may be right.... So They pick out these boots... (pretty cute I might add) I being on a mission of findin a new pair of shoes for him that I'm hopin he wont out grow in a month. I cruize on over to the boy shoe section of the store w/ Grandma... Now keep in mind... Gabe is a normal 2 yr old that if he doesn't get his nap, he gets rather cranky (again he gets this from his father!) Grandma and I are lookin at all these shoes that should fit his clod hoppin foot... Since he is cranky and in real bad need of a nap... He wont let us take off his old shoe to try on any of the new ones... Every single shoe that we offer him, weather it had lights or a cool dumptruck, train or spiderman on it, he says "No, It's too small"... Annoyed at this point... And Grandma must of noticed the fustration takin over, tries to take him off to go and find some cool toy ,"THE SPOILERS"!!!... I guess so I can calm down and focus on the mission at hand.... I almost had Gabe talked into a pair that was kinda cool... I thought maybe he would let me try the shoe on, but I was sadly mistaken... He threw a fit cuz I was gunna take off his shoe and try on the a cool one that lit up... Seein that I was gettin nowhere I finally took Gradma's advice and picked out a pair that I liked... After that we go off to find Grandpa... Rememberin that I need to also buy the lil Monster some underwear I go off to that section and grab his undies.... I get up by the registers and realize that I, ofcourse grabed the wrong size of underwear, "Damn I said, I have to go back and get a different size", Grandma had Gabe, so I cook on back to the undies section and grab the right size and head back.. In this time ofcourse, Grandma had met up w/ Grandpa and they're checkin out... Bought and paid for his shoes that was my mission amounst other things that Gabe didn't need I am sure... Well when we got home he saw his new shoes and said "Oooh look what u bought me", and wanted to try them on...(At this time he was ohhh about 2 hours late for tryin on the shoes when we wanted him to...) Not wantin to discourage him from his new shoes anymore then what I may have done, I let him try them on... He gets on these cool new shoes and starts cryin cuz he didn't want to wear the new shoes.... Wow!!!! Ya, I can't wait until he's a teenager.. THAT'S gunna be A LOT of fun!!!! The more and more I am around Grandma and Grandpa I have realized how much patients(sp) they have w/ Gabe then I do.. Ofcourse they would have more as they have raised 3 boys pretty much like my son.. Man, do I feel sorry for them....lol... Grandma, no matter what she says, can tallerate more of Gabe 'n her own kids then I could ever imagine doing... Perhaps I should sit down and take notes.. Still don't think that I can do it... I'm just to fat to get up and run after a lil monster kid like Gabe..... And soon I'll have two... YICKS!!!!!!
When Grandma and I "discussed" her buyin the shoes and me tellin her NO she didn't need to do that, lil did I realize that when she said that "she was gunna buy em" she wasn't askin, she was tellin me.. Hence "The Spoilers".... As I sit here I realize you just can't win.. When dealin w/ Grandparents when they want to buy them or you something they're gunna do it weather u like it or not... Might as well just say alright and then Thank em for it... Go w/ the flow as they say..... Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for everything you spoiled us with today....... We appriciate it...

New Location

Well Gabe and I have moved out to the the country.. We both love it, kinda.. When I say kinda I mean it's great bein here away from everyone.. Gabe can run around outside in the yard (which it is a BIIIIIGGG yard) when ever he wants, which is usually all day if we would let him... I kinda like it well I more or less LOVE it... I love how quite it is and how far away from everyone it is, except Tate ofcourse... but then again I hate how far away from everyone it is.. Well everyone and everything..... The only real big complaint I guess I have is the fact that if I need to run to the store I have to drive an hour instead of just a few blocks... I guess though it saves on a trip for nothing. Now if u have to go to the store u have to have a whole list of things to do and places to go.... I will hopefully maybe have pictures for you on here.. but the post and the pics will unfortinatly be few and far between beings how its a lot harder for me to get on the comp... I'm hopein I'll be on more then I think.. but things happen differently then I hope they do... So I guess We'll see ya later... HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

New Pics

All of the pics have been from the summer. Some from spendin time with Great G-ma Karen.. And the others are from a fishing trip.... On this same fishing trip u see in this pic Gabe caught 4 mud turtles and 8 or 9 fish the size of the fish in the pic below or a lil bigger.. Tate caught about 3 mud turtles and 7 or 8 fish.. All in all it was a good trip.. I'm sure the Fishermen wished they were a lil bigger and that the turtles would stop hunting they're bobbers...lol

I have decided that Tate has turned Gabe in to him. (Not that its a bad thing) Everytime he sees water he always asks me if we are gunna go fishing.. Cuz theres water so natually if theres water right there then we have to be goin fishing.... Lol.. It's cute but all at the same time its irratating... For awhile there any time we went anywhere, he thought thats where we were goin was fishing... Don't get me wrong I LOVE the fact that he wants to do all the outdoor stuff.. its great really... I'm just not much of a fisherwoman so I always have to tell him that he has to wait for Daddy or wait til this weekend... Glad he loves fishin instead of just sittin around the house watchin TV like his mom....

Such concentration he has huh??? LOL

Not sure if anyone will actually read this or even look at the blog but like I said I'll keep up w/ it for the fam and friends that may get board on here and want to take a peek...Don't have anything new to report other then EARLY this morning the lil kickboxer which his my soon to be new buddle of joy... Threw a fit or something.. All I know is that it was like he was kickin me w/ both feet (as usual) on either side of my belly button... What a lil goof... Not even born yet and he's already a hand full.. Atleast a belly full at this point in our lives...lol....

SO today isn't as fun as next month is gunna be I exspect.... Gabe and I get to move out to the country... Thats gunna be sooo much fun.. probably more fun for Gabe then the grown-ups but we'll manage I suppose... I'll have to post pictures of the country on here.. It is SOOOO beautifull out there.. Not to mention quite... I love it... Not a big fan of the situation but like always ya do what ya have to do... I suppose thats all the yackin I have to do for now.. hopefully I'll have more later... Have a great day everyone......
