On the road again.....

Sorry that I have been missing in action. The boys & I made a road trip to KS again and now we are on the road to TENN with my parents. The drive has been great, it is sooo beautiful! I drove the first 5 hours and now my dad is in the drivers seat, the boys are sleeping and mom is reading.
We found out that my uncle has lung cancer on our trip home last year. He went through chemo & radiation but the cancer is already back. He is trying to make it through another round of chemo but they say that he is not doing very well at all. My parents were going to TENN so instead of the boys & I going home today like I had originally planned I decided that we should make a detour. I struggled with whether or not I should come along or not. My parents need a vacation, a break from EVERYTHING!! And in a car for 10+ hours with 2 BOYS STUCK in car seats just was NOT appealing to me. But I knew what I had to do, what was right. Plus I am always up for a TENN fix!! The accent, the friendly waves from passer bys, the food, the family, the scenery......
I will try to post more soon but we are going to boondocks so only time will tell...hehe!!
Keep my family & I in your prayers.
God Bless!

Cereal

This weekend Colton had his first taste of cereal. As you can see he wasn't much of a

fan. He enjoyed it much more the next day.

Not only is he rolling over both ways now but he is also rolling ALL around the lr floor. Now I can barely leave the room without him rolling into the tables or chairs and getting

terribly pissed off about it and making sure that everyone around knows it.

It won't be long before I will be chasing him & Cayden around.

I should probably start working out now....training now.....so that I can

be in shape to keep up-HA!

I am proud to hear that Lynn has kept the kitchen clean & up to par. I just hope that her and the rest of the family are able to keep it up on a regular basis.
I hate the reality that I have to unload the dishwasher EVERY morning while Cayden is eating his breakfast and the fact that there is never ending laundry but that is life, the life that I have chosen. I LOVE spending the day with my boys and knowing that they are NOT spending 8-12 hours a day in day care with someone else other than me. Are there times that I want to run away-ABSOLUTELY!!! More often than I would want to admit. I am SOOO blessed that God has given me the gift of motherhood with no problems, no doubts that I am capable. I sometimes want to pull my hair out and wonder what the hell I was thinking but it was never up to me..............................so thank you God for believing in me when I didn't.

Sweet Boy

These are the pretty flowers that my sweet boy picked and gave me while

he was playing at the park. Colton & I sat in the car, Colton was sleeping & it was

beginning to get a little cool outside. So Cayden would pick a flower, bring it to

me and head out for another one.

This is my self portrait.

Aren't my flowers pretty in my hair!?!

Friends Rock!

Lynn & I were supposed to have a yard sale this weekend but due to the wet weather we had to cancel. So instead, Lynn came over Friday night, we had Taste of Asia take out, organized my stamps and I am soooo excited! It looks great. Then we watched Twilight & shared popcorn. Lynn let and I started working on my stamp catalog.
Saturday Lynn was supposed to call in the am to start work on her scrapbook room so when she called at 1PM, Cayden was of course napping so we didn't arrive till after 3PM. She didn't sound like she really wanted to do anything but lay in bed so I didn't bother calling to let her know that the boys and I were on our way. I am sooo glad that she didn't kill me and we got to work on the kitchen. We took a break around 730PM for dinner at Tres Casa, her treat-THX!! We sat outside under the awning until it started to rain and Cayden about jumped out of his skin in fear-poor guy. So the ladies helped us transfer everything inside, they were sooo nice & great with Cayden. Then it was back to work until about 10PM or so.
Sunday the boys & I went back over to finish what we started. I am proud to say that The Demma's are now able to sit at the table together as a family and enjoy dinner together.
I am a weird kinda person because I had sooo much fun. This is what I like to do, clean & organize-other peoples stuff, not my own of course. Just ask Lynn-she'll tell ya. OR ask my parents, I worked on my house non-stop for a week last time I visited and they are already asking me to come to do more-HA!
So thanks Lynn for helping me with my stamps and hanging out on Friday and allowing me to invade your space and boss you around-HA! Love ya babe!
