So I'm not so sure how this works, but I'll give it my all! I've been tagged by Sky @ http://www.seeryus.blogspot.com/. I have to list 10 wierd/random facts about me! Here it goes!
1. I can never, I mean never sneeze just once!
2. Some days I stay in my Pj's just because they're comfy....and I let the kids stay in theirs too!
3. My kids don't get baths on a regular basis, I know, I know....but they do get baths when they're getting dirty, or I realize it's been a couple days!
4. I love nothing more than to sit on the front porch with a glass of water and a quiet breeze.
5. When it's nice outside, and there is housework to do....I'd rather find something, ANYTHING, to do outside so I don't have to be stuck in the house. (might explain why my house looks like a tornado went through)
6. I'm always behind on professional pictures, infact I love taking my own....but just never get them blown up on time!
7. If you find a glass of water half gone, then it's probably mine. I always have a glass sitting around somewhere!
8. I can't ever just fall asleep. I usually lay there for at least 20 minutes, thinking about everything I need to do, and that I should just get up and do it.
9. I got sunburned this weekend, as did Dahrran......but Daddy got it even worse!
10. This was harder than it looks and probably took me at least 20 minutes to fill out!!!

Home, sweet home.....
We've made it home, after a long drive we got in around 5 am on Thursday morning. I was tired, and slept part of the day yesterday, but lastnight was to bed as normal. The kids did great on the trip home, and watched movies most of the way. Dahrran would sleep for a few hours, and then watch movies, while MacKenzie watched movies, and then slept most of the way home. Kaitlynn did wonderful, AFTER we took her helmet off. She wanted nothing to do with it when we were driving.
The appointments went well. When we got to the Hanger to get her helmet, we found out that the UPS guy had just gotten there with the helmets shortly before I arrived. The 8 am appointment was still sitting in the waiting room when I walked in. But they shortly got us all in, and by 11:30 we were out of there and headed back to the motel to get the kids and Jess picked up and packed up.
We then headed to the hospital for Kaitlynn's clinic appointment. That also went well, and fast! Dr. Jimenez said things looked good. You could tell he wasn't happy about the change, but he didn't seem mad at us, more at the Hanger for all the problems we had. He said her helmet looked good, and that it was putting pressure where it should be. He said this helmet should last us for quite a while, and that things were looking good. He did say that her soft spot was closing, but that it was normal because the sides wern't closed, and that's what needed to stay open for her head to keep reshaping! :)
Things are good, and the kids are just getting back into routiene, which has been difficult! Here is a slide show of our trip! Enjoy! :)
UGH, so minor difficulties has made the slide disapear, and of course it wasn't saved yet, so I'll upload them later! :(

Bit of disapointment .....
We just got back from the Hanger. It wasn't bad news, but it sure wasn't good news either. We were only up one percent, from 72% to 73%. It doesn't come as a shock but more of a disapointment because of the last time we were down, it'd changed almost 7%! They'd like to see it as close to 84% as possible. So needless to say we'll end up being in helmets about the full 18 months. Which is a bit of a let down considering I thought we'd only have to come down a couple more times, and now it looks like we'll be down another 4-5 times!
I didn't get to travel by myself, but MacKenzie was such a big helper I didn't mind! We're not doing much today, we're all a little tuckered out. So we'll hang out here, and if the sun decides to come out, we'll make our way to the pool!

The beach!
Even though it was cloudy today we decided to head to the beach! Corpus Christi here we come!!!!
The kids had a great time in the waves, but they were scared of them some. They were pretty strong, and at one point, I fell over with MacKenzie, and we couldn't get up. Was a scarry moment, but we're all okay.
Dahrran loved it the most. He is coming out of his shell more and more as time goes on. He went from being the kid who hated the water, to the one that loves it now. MacKenzie on the other hand is becoming scared of it! :(
Tomarrow we go to get Kaitlynn scanned for her helmet. And as far as I know I'm free and clear to go by myself!!! YAY! A little peace and quiet in the car!
When we drove down today to Corpus, it was about a 2 1/2 hour drive, and we decided to NOT put the DVD's back in the car, just because it was too much of a hassle to put them back in. So we had to listen to fighting, and screaming, and "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" (qoted by MacKenzie). It made me wonder why we brought them along! Then when we saw the ocean, and they had fun, it was all worth it, and they had such a good time!!!!

We've made it to Texas!
Hello everyone, this is a quick note, since the kids are waiting, upstairs with Jess, to go to the Zoo. We decided to go to the San Antonio Zoo, because I didn't think they could handle riding in the car for long period for a few days!
The trip down was great, it started raining on our way down, and I thought to myself, if it rains like this the whole way, this will be the shits! But about 45 minutes from home, it stopped, and the sun came out and blessed us the whole way there! The kids did great, and the portable DVD's were a life saver! They watched movies most of the time, and then colored some of the rest of it. Just about out of Oklaholma we found a sign for a State park called .... Something.... Falls. ( can't remember the name right now! ) But it was a great park with waterfalls, a swimming area, camping, caves, and a playground area! Was awesome, and the kids had a blast; boy did it tire them out!!!!! We were there for about 2 hours, when they started to get tired, and so "on the road again" we went!
We made it into San Antonio about 10:45 or so, but didn't find our motel until almost 12! UGH, needless to say 410, and I10 got me confused again, and we got lost....but not lost because I knew where I was! I just couldn't find where I needed to be!!!!!!
It took the kids a little while to settle down, but after that everyone slept great, they've eatten breakfast, and are ready to go! So for another update later! Loves, Amanda, Jess and the kids!

Pft!
Uppity danged heifers any who! I've been up since before the crack of dawn, all thanks to one o'le gal we call P85. She's our most prized cow, and most expensive so far. So when Joel called home lastnight to tell me he needed to AI her this morning, I though yay, an early morning, I'll help him, and then I'M GOING BACK TO BED!! Well it's 6am, and you guessed it ladies and gents, I'm still awake, didn't even go back to bed! I know I should, but when I know I have things to do around here it makes it hard to go to sleep. She was a great o'le gal though, and didn't cause much of a problem to run into the shoot. But she is a spunky girl too, the minute Joel let her out of the pen to put them back in the Heifer lot, she took off! She was squirly, and jumping around....mind you it was 4 in the morning! UPPITY HEIFERS!
