What little kid 3 years of age does not like to play with some form on Play -Doh. Well mine just absolutely LOVES to make cookies out of her squishy as she calls it. Today we "baked" cookies and served them to daddy.

Over the weekend we where very fortunate to get to see Grandma & Grandpa Brady. Since Ike decided to pick on Texas and not some other state(s) they choose to take I 20 across to avoid Ike. and got to Abilene on Saturday afternoon. We went out for dinner at Cracker Barrel. Sunday Brian and Grandpa ran to Lowe's so Brian could fix the sprinkler head the lawn mower attacked. I cooked dinner for

Nothing has really been going on around here worth while. Michelle had her 3 yr check up yesterday. She is 30.6 lbs and 38 inches tall. The doctor said she is in the 75% for height and 50% for weight. Mom had mentioned that the next time we make it to Florida for a visit Michelle will probably be able to ride more of the rides at Disney. I wouldn't be surprised if this was true.Not much else

Brian and Michelle made play dough tonight before dinner that way it would cool off enough to play with after we got done eating. We colored it red and Michelle played with her Tupperware rolling pin and mat along with some cookie cutters. Yes Michelle even had to taste the play dough, which is salty .

Michelle started Speech therapy today. She did okay but was not very talkative with Lindsey. Lindsey is going to do one on one with Michelle. We are hoping the Michelle will do okay with this if not we will work up to it. Lindsey feels that the one on one is more beneficial and it is more of a student teacher environment. We go to Speech on Thursdays at 10:30.On a different note, we have

We got snow yesterday. However it is mostly gone now. I took these about 8:30am this morning. At least the street was clear. Most of our snow is gone now but the weatherman is calling for heavy snow, which is 4 inches. So we will wait and see what comes of their predictions.

I have started an Amazon.com list for Michelle. I have also

Well PT is moving along nicely. Since we are leaving for the long weekend next week I only have to go once. I SHOULD (cross your fingers) be done with PT on September 1oth. I see Dr. Kalafut again for a reevaluation of everything. I did how ever find out that my Sciatic nerve goes through my right piriformis muscle in stead of staying under it like EVERYONE else's.

Last Thursday I went to see Dr Harper (the GP doc) about my right hip giving me trouble. So much trouble that sleep was a hard thing to find. I had to have lower spine and hip X-rays done just to see what was going on. Silly me though it was the bursitis acting up. BUT according to Dr. Harper my L-5 (the one right above the hips) was out of alignment. Um okay, but my back DOES NOT HURT and I

As if the world isn't small enough her brother-in-law also lives in Abilene. NO joke. We have kept in touch over the last year and what not. I sent her a Christmas card and so on. I emailed her

Michelle is doing great at swim lessons. She has learned how to "jump" in the pool and her bubble blowing skills are getting better. Once we get to the pool, she is all about getting in and playing. Forget about getting undressed, she wants in NOW.We took out Duckie that Grandma sent us with our chocolate easter bunny to class on Monday night. Michelle even knew it was a duckie before we told

Michelle got her ankle braces last Thursday. We have been slowing working up to wearing them all day. Unfortunately we had to go get a new pair of shoes so her braces would fit. The first couple of days she wore them she didn't know quite how to walk with them on. Along with PT once a week we have swim lessons on Monday and Wednesday nights.

Monday night Michelle was playing in the living room and banging on the Pudgy's cage. Which is nothing new for her to do. Then out of no where she takes off across the living room towards the TV, turns toward the kitchen, then comes back to Brian. With no help or motivations she just WALKED on her own. So at PT yesterday I told Tammy that Michelle has been walking on her own, which is VERY

Michelle has learned to say purple and the dreaded MINE. She'll pick up something, say the TV remote, and once you ask for it back she goes MINE. Ask nicely with a please may I have that back, MINE. Oh yes I think I'm going to hate MINE more than EH. I have no clue where she learned the word mine from. As for walking, she is getting better. Wednesday at PT Michelle took some good steps on

Michelle is doing great at PT. Her muscles are strenghtening up just fine ans she continues to make good progress. We are STILL waiting on her doctor to sign the paper work for her ankle braces. I am hoping we can get those made sometime here soon. Tammy, Michelle's PT gal, thinks the braces will help her out and then she'll be able to walk better sooner.Last week at PT Tammy put some light

Michelle went to her PT evaluation today. She met with speech, Occupational and physical therapists. Her speech is right on par for her age as well as her motor skills. As for the walking, she is super flexible in her hips and ankles. To fix this in her ankles and to build the arches she will be getting ankle braces that come up right over the ankle bone. After she can walk independently,

Michelle does not got to PT until January 29th. I don't think i can wait that long. While she is at PT they are also going to evaluate her speech....um HELLO she can talk JUST fine. Give Michelle a few minute and she'll tell you ALL about something, yet we still have no clue as to what the something is, hehe.Although it would be funny if she desided to walk on her own before then. That would

Michelle went to the doctor on Thursday. She is 32.5 inches tall and is 21lbs 4oz. She is FINALLY over 20lbs. As for her not walking independently, she has to go to West Texas Rehab for an extensive evaluation to make sure she is not "developmentally" challenged. The doctor checked her hips and nothing is wrong with them. Michelle shows no signs of developmental hip dysplasia. I have to call

Hi everyone!!! It has cooled down into the 40's here so it made for a cool night. Michelle went to about 12 houses then we came home and handed out our candy. We had about 50 kids or so, which wasn't too bad. I still have candy left over. Which we will eat. I went to the BX and bought Michelle a bag of M&M's to use for potty training. Here she is all dressed up tonight.I hope everyone has

I haven't desided if it's gunna be one of those weeks or one of those months. It seems like there is something going on just about everyday until after Oct 13th. If I'm not at PT then its something else. Pampered Chef is starting to take off and it's starting to be worth my while. On top of getting my business up and going there is now a Pampered Chef Outlet through my website :) Which is

I went to the Doctor yesterday for refill for my Zertec and to have him look at my back. Thing are okay in the allergy department but the back is a whole different story. I was refered to Physical Therepy. They want meto go 3 times a week. Which isnt a huge problem. The problem is when they left the message on Brian's cell phone. They want me to start PT on Tuesday September 5th, but I will

Michelle has 5 teeth now :) The fifth one is on the upper left hand side near the back. I noticed her 5th tooth today while "saving" a fuzzy from imantent doom. We did okay today since Brian worked las night. After Brian went to bed at 4pm Michelle had some quiet time before dinner while I got dinner ready for her and I. Tomorrow is payday, which means a commissary run and other fun things.

Boy has it been a week. On Monday I finalized and submitted my show from the weekend at the BX, which was $260 in orders. Then on Tuesday I started a class for Pampered Chef so I can grow my business and build a team. Wednesday, I spent the afternoon on the phone making customer calls and trying to get shows booked. Thursday was a quiet day. Friday the stuff came from Pampered Chef, so I had

This week has gone by rather quickly thnks to the holiday. If I'm not busy outside helping Brian with the shed, I'm chasing after or entertaining Michelle while attempting to do laundry or dishes. Not much else has been going on here except for unpacking andputtingaway things.

Michelle has began to cut her two front top teeth. The top one on the right has cut through and the left on is making a good attempt. Michelle went to the doctor on June 20th. She is 29 1/4 inches "tall" and 19lbs 4oz. The doctor said she is doing fine for her age. Now that we have some of the furniture put up in place Michelle is starting to walk while holding onto the furniture.

Today we had birthday cake for Michelle's 1st birthday with Russell, Amy, Skyler, Great Grandma and Grandpa Walters. Michelle smashed more cake on the table than she ate I'm sure but she had a good time and enjoyed "eating" her cake. Even though Michelle's birthday in not actually until June 16th we desided to have cake at Grandma and Grandpa's while we where visiting them in Lufkin. It was

Okay so I haven't posted here in a while. I have been rather busy with the moving. Monday was just one of those days where anything and everything just seemed to happen. I swear the phone rang 50 times yesterday. If it wasn't the landlady wanting to know about showing our house it was the people buying the van calling. The end of last week wasn't too much better either. Grandma Walters I am

Yes you go it right, I am having trouble sleeping. Anne I think it's contagious really I do. I am beginning to believe that being unable to sleep is something that can be passed on telepathically. Michelle is even having nights where she wakes up at 3 or 4 am. Since we started cleaning and getting the house ready for the big move I have been having problems with sleeping. For those of you who

Okay so I came up with a new word choice for snow. Oh do we have snow AGAIN! It started snowing last Wednesday and stopped, which was good. Thursday we wake up to snow and it continues to snow. Brian had a 2 hour delay for work. Friday went got up to MORE snow. Brian was again on a 2 hour delay but instead of calling everyone the y sent out emails after most people had went home, Go figure

Why me? Why do all of the stupid people seem to gravitate towards me? Is there a giant sign on me some where that only stupid people can see? If so I have to wonder what the sign says. Does it say "I love stupid people" or "I'm stupid too"? I've had my fill of stupid people lately.This all started yesterday with an email from the Pampered Chef. They where nice enough to inform me that they

Okay so I am a curious individual and I like to know what other in the Pampered Chef business are up to and how the present their shows. There was an ad in the paper this week and a potential recruit and I decided that we wanted to go check out this open house. So she calls and gets directions to the house and stops by and picks me up so we can go. We leave here around 3:30pm or so and we get

I have some to the conclusion that if I want my Pampered Chef business to be a success I have to constantly keep after my hosts. I guess 3 phone calls are not enough for some people. It drives me nuts when people tell me they will host a show and then the don't even try to get people to order. Is it really that hard to pick the phone up and say "Hey I'm hosting a Pampered Chef show, would you

Michelle sprouted her first tooth over the weekend. But after closer inspection we noticed that there are actually two of them. Both of here teeth are on the bottom in the center. Along with getting teeth Michelle has given up her bottle and is drinking from a sippy cup now.

Well we got our orders on Wednesday. Now it's time for the fun to begin. I'm all excited about moving and I'm also ready to get it over with. Looks like I'm going to have to get going on the clean out of clutter and decided what is going in what shipment. Along with all of that we have to get the beetle ready for shipment to the states.Michelle is has learned to "army" crawl, which is SO cute.

Nothing new here. Just the same stuff day in and day out. We are still awiting our orders. I and hopeful the we will have them by the end of the month. But still it could be later than that. As of February 28th it makes 2 months until we leave. I still can not get over the fact that we have been her in Germany for the last 3 years. Time sure does move quickly, expecially when you are busy.

We got our new camera in the mail on Tuesday. It is a digital Nikon D50 with a 28-80mm lens. The camera has SO many more functions than our old Kodak point and shot. With the new one you can change the lenses, select what mode you want to use or just put it on auto for everything.

Well we had our first Christmas with Michelle. The opening of presents took us a while and Michelle was way more interested in eating the paper than looking at her toys. Grandma and Tia (Mom & Anne) found this really cute turtle for Michelle. You pull down the turtle's head and it plays music and the inside spins the 3 little balls around inside it. Sally got Brian and Michelle matching TShirts

Chrismas is still 2 weeks away and Santa has already been putting things under our tree. Michelle like the bright colored paper and tried to open some of her things early as we were unpacking the boxes everyone have been sending. Michelle hasn't been to see santa claus yet as seeing tring to take her to the BX is too much of a nightmare with the parking and everything. Not to mention he is

Not much going on here today. It snow on and off all day so we sat inside and played XBox and watched "Lilo & Stitch". Michelle played on the floor and later watched some of the movie from her bouncy chair. After that she took a nap. Brian has been looking on like trying to figure out how much telephone, internet access and all of the other utilities are going to cost once we move. We have

Before we went to bed last Brian and I looked out the window to find that white flaky stuff had fallen to the ground and covered everything. Yes folks we have snow here in Germany. It was around 32*F today but it felt more like 23*F according to Yahoo Weather. We bundled Michelle up and went out long enough to go to the post office and the commissary to do WIC. Other than that Michelle "hung out"

Today is Michelle's first Thanksgiving and she didn't even get to have turkey. Oh well guess it will be next year. She did get to taste mashed potatoes (made from scratch) and some whipped cream off of the no bake pumpkin pie.The no bake pumpkin pie was really good. Brian had 2 pieces. (I guess that means I'll have to make another one) Besides pie, we had a small turkey breast roast, mashed

Well, I made my no bake pumpkin pie today. It actually tastes good from what I tasted from the bowl. I made my pie early that way I won't have to be in the kitchen all day Thursday. Surprisingly the pie only took me 15 minutes to make and all it has to do is sit in the frig for 2 hours to set up.While I was at the commissary getting my stuff to make my pie I bought a tube of Pilsbury Gingerbread

Well its that time of year again. Time for turkey and cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stuff which Michelle of course can not eat until next year.Brian helped me get the christmas stuff out of the attic yesterday that way we can get started on putting it up this weekend. The tree will probably be put up on Friaday and I'll have to "sit" Michelle in front of the tree so I can take her picture.As far

After 2 long months I am finally allowed to resume my regular activities. I went and saw the "doctor" to day for my 8 week post preggie check up. Of course I am early, which is good. I'm waiting to sign in and the LtCol Owen, the midwife I saw while pregnant, looks at me and goes, you cancelled your appointment what are you doing here? First off, I did not cancel it , second you all screwed up.
