A not so fun trip.....

Okay so everyone that knows me, know that I can be a total clutz! Since the time I entered this world I have been a walking accident! I have more stitches on my face than anybody I know! Well this morning, I got up for bootcamp in a panic cause I had overslept, so I hurry and went potty, got dressed grabbed Aarons keys from our dresser and started down the hallway in a hurry. Now let me remind you that I am to meet my trainer at 5:30am, which means that is still dark outside.... Every morning I choose not to turn the hall light on so that I don't wake the baby and Aaron, instead I use a app. on my phone that is a flashlight. Well today I was rushing so quickly I did not take the time to turn my "flashlight" on. I walked down the hall and thought I still had another step I could take before I got to the stairs.....WRONG! I went down all 13 steps and literally landed face first on our hard wood floors! I then felt my back buckle and my knee hit the floor. So after my not so graceful fall my prince came to my rescue.... oh ya and my princesses! I had gotten the wind knocked out of me so I had a hard time talking which scared my girls a little, but once my breath was back, the real PAIN started hitting me! After laying there for about 10 minutes and Aaron inspecting my "injuries" I tried to get up but got seriously nauseated. So I lay there for another 10 minutes until I felt like I wasn't going to vomit, Aaron then helped me up the stairs to our room, where I layed moaning and groaning, as Aaron puts it! I have since gone to see the wonderful Dr. Tipton at the clinic I work at where she thouroly inspected me..... I will now give you a list of my battle wounds from the the long horrible trip I decided to take at 5:30 in the freaking morning! I have a concussion, a black eye, a contusion on my eyebrow (which may have a hairline fracture, per Dr. Tipton), a contusion on my knee the size of a softball, a huge bruise on my arm that is a perfect circle (kind of a pretty color though, :)) a fat lip with a cut and bruise inside of my mouth and lastly bruises on my shins, shoulder and my hip. What a not so amazing day.... as the hours go by I feel my aches and pains more and more but thankfully for the wonderful world of medicine I soon will be in La La Land! P.S. A lesson learned... don't take a trip at 5:30 in the morning!

A whole lot of nothin.....

After reading all of our family and friends' blogs for a couple of years now, I have decided to participate in this fun 'TELL-ALL"....okay, maybe not ALL will be shared! I am not a great writer, we do not have a Hollywood like life, we are just a normal American family that takes every day as it comes and tries to make the best of what we have.... but most importantly we have the greatest love for one another and for our family and friends. Because of that love we are able to grow, cherish and teach our children the importance of life and happiness!
As I write in this blog you will soon enough learn as to why my first entry is titled "a whole lot of nothin". Because I don't know what I will share, I don't know if it will interest anyone, I don't know if it will have any informative information, but it will be our life, our daily challenges, our daily laughs, but to others it may just simply be "a whole lot of nothin"! Oh well, it's who we are and hopefully we can all giggle from time to time and simply just keep up with eachothers lives. To start basically my life consists of kids, housework, errands, more housework, a husband, two dogs, even more housework, work and then play..... Aaron and I love and enjoy our three daughters more than anything in this world! Camrynn, our oldest, 11 years young. I say young because she is just growing up WAY too fast! I look at her every day and think where has all the time gone???? Camrynn is ALWAYS moving, never wanting to just sit home and have a nice relaxing day, she would much rather be hanging with friends, shopping, doing wonderfol art projects, cooking, going on walks, riding her bike, but mostly she enjoys being with her family. She is the best oldest daughter anyone could ask for, I honestly do not know what I would do without her! She is always there for me, she gives a helping hand, helps me with everyday tasks, my note-taker, and most importantly she helps takes care of her little sisters ALL the time! She is an amazing big sissy! Next in line is Sydnee, our favorite 7 year old... we refrain from calling her the "middle child" as that just puts a label on these children. If your like me I think, TROUBLE, GRUMPY, SNEAKY, and the infamous phrase comes to mind "IT'S CAUSE I AM/WAS THE MIDDLE CHILD"! For Syd, none of these are true, okay so sometimes the girl can be a grump, but seriously what little girl isn't?!?!? Sydnee is the closest thing to a son Aaron will ever have, she loves super hero's, basketball, soccer, football, rock music, getting dirty and playing rough with her Daddy! Sometimes Sydnee will amaze us by dressing up so cute and asking for her hair to get done pretty, and boy what a cute little girl she is, but usually within the next couple of hours she's done doing the "GIRLY THING" and is back to her Nike's, basketball shorts and a t-shirt! Sydnee always says and does the funniest things, Aaron and I are constantly cracking up at the things she says to us, she may only be seven but WOW, can she say some grown-up things! I am quite sure that throughout this blog I will be sharing some of the hilarious witty things our little comedian says. And finally we have Berklee, a.k.a. BIRD. Berklee is 18 months old, she is the caboose of our family. She will be the last baby that Aaron and I will ever have, which of course makes us all coddle her in so many ways. She is a little firecracker, because of all the attention she gets from us, her sisters, her cousins, her Grandmas and Grandpas and believe it or not even the neighbors! She has got this sweet innocent face, chubby cheeks, nearly white hair, gorgeous blue eyes, beautiful pale skin and then..... BOOM, the little stinker shows her REAL side! We all love her so much and she knows it therefor she keeps us on our toes at ALL times! She has and continues to be so much fun for our family, basically she has us ALL wrapped around her tiny little finger! Lastly, we must mention our little furry children, as Momma loves them so much! First of all we have Jaxon, a.k.a. Fat Man, Grandpa Dog, Jakkie, and finally, a Dog with a face only a momma could love". Jaxon is such a good dog, he hates to go for walks, he doesn't beg, he NEVER barks, basically he just lies down and doesn't move, as Poppy had once said about our sweet dog Rodney growing up, he IS a "Rug with a heartbeat"! We love that boy! Now we have Mollie... or as others know her, HELL DOG! What can we say about Mollie except that she is the stinkin cutest thing ever.... but on the flip side, she, as Aaron says is the "Spawn of Satan". She is always on the go, always barking, loves to lick your face, constantly bugging our little Fat Man, an escape artist, but none-the-less a cute little devil! Well that is our family in a nutshell.... Not too flashy, yet not too boring, its just us being who we are, meet us... the Sessions!
