Twins turn 15

WOW---- where does the time go????? My itty bitty baby twins turned 15 today!!!! I'm an old woman!!!! Jordan came into this world weighing a mere 2lbs. 15oz.and was 16 1/4 in. long---he now stands at approx. 5'9". Janae weighed 4lbs. 2oz. and she is now 5'4"! What a lot of growing huh! I'll have to dig up some baby pictures to post. Wish me the best as we take on the big 1-5. It will probably include dr. ed.! How scarry is that??? Two at once? I think I'll die! I'll let you all know so you can stay off the road!ha!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN AND JANAE!!!! You'll always be my favorite twins!!!!
I'm on my way to bed after a very, exhausting evening. I went to Laf. to get birthday presents for my twins. I asked Rachel if she wanted to and she did. On the way home we were almost to our exit and I see this car coming down toward us on the wrong side of the road-----I pulled all the way off the road and stopped while the car sped past us at prob. 60 mph heading straight for the semi that was behind us, just as he got to the semi he swerved and missed it. We took off because cars were weaving and trying to get off the road. The last we could see in the rearview was that car heading straight for 2 lanes of oncoming traffic!!!!! Needless to say we were very shaken!!!! I called 911 and the guy kept saying are you sure there was an accident---I'm like well I'm sure there is by now! We passed ambulances on their way out there! Wow---I just wanted to give my kids a big hug when I got home! I don't know yet what happened but 65 was closed down for 2 hrs. That will definitely stay with me for quite sometime!

I'm losing it for sure!

Had to rat on myself so some of you could get a laugh at my expense. I walked up to my back door this evening and pressed my remote to my van to unlock the door!!hehehe!
I told you I am really losing it!
When I was 16 and worked at McDonalds I was so used to the drive thru headset (that that had the button on the belt that you had to press when you wanted to talk to the customer )that one time I was following Jenny in my car and I pressed my side so I could talk to her???(I was only 16 --as I said--not much hope huh?)

I need some help

COULD SOMEONE COME OVER HERE AND KICK ME IN THE SEAT END SO I'LL GET UP AND GET SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED?????

For Carrie

Carrie , I was just going back a little on my posts and realized you commented on my camera subject! I didn't see it until now! Oh well, You are sooo good to do all that research. My research was asking my blog readers(hehe) Jeff ordered ours on Amazon.com. Please come and teach me how to use this thing---I'm quite sure you would be the type that had the patience to sit down with the directions and learn how to use it! I'll even cook dinner for you guys!!!!! Is it tempting at all???ha

Flowers




I think I'll be sick again next week--or at least when these flowers die. Jeff brought these home to me with a cute card on Monday when I was feeling bad(and looking bad I might add!) He must really love me huh?!

More Pics





You guys are going to tire from my picture taking I'm afraid. Jody came by today so I used Kendrick as another guinea pig.

pictures taken with my new camera!





I think I'm in love...

So, Jeff surprised me with an early birthday present. The Canon digital Rebel XTI that everyone raved about!!! It is sooooooo awesome and I don't know anything about it at all. I just played around a little tonight and I love, love, love it!!!!!
Here are a few shots I took without even knowing what was doing!

I've been run over

I think I've been hit by a Big Mac Truck! Appearently I have a sinus infection. I think I feel worse today than I did yesterday and that's not good. I haven't even had a cold all winter and I had to go get this.
I feel like I have a million things to do and I don't feel like it!!!!! GRRRR!
OH, well on to more positive things. I did get a few things done in Jordan's room. I will take some pictures soon. I kind of hate to before it is done but I guess I could show everyone the work in progress. I got him a rug and I think I will return it---hmmm doesn't sound like me huh? Sometimes I like to see stuff in the room before I know for sure if I will like it or not. So, I guess we are back to square one on that!
Thanks to everyone who gave me pointers on the camera post. Sounds like most of you think a Cannon Digital Rebel is the best. Did you hear that Jeff??? A Canon Digital Rebel they all said was the best.
Hope you all have a swell day and hope you all feel a whole lot better than me~

I'm Wondering...

Am I the only one who:
Feels like it's the end of the world if I just got downstairs and forgot something upstairs.
Always have a little pile of something lying on the steps that goes up or down.
Usually doesn't get the last load of towels out of the dryer before the next laundry day.
Feels like the work is just never done:)
Can't wait for spring this year.
Has alot of things to do and is sitting here wasting time
Or is blogging considered a waste of time?
can't seem to get on a regular exercising program(I once was and felt sooo much better)
Would love to go on a vacation to a tropical island tomorrow!!!!
Just wondering????
