I will not be posting on this one anymore if you want to follows the going ons in our lives please join mom as she blogs @ http://soonermomofmany.blogspot.com

Ya know I have never had this much trouble finding a name for one of my boys………….Joshua was named by the time I was 15 wks pg…….I knew he was a boy……With Austin he was named when I was 31wks just after we found out he was boy…..and now this lo is a boy to and he doesn’t have a name and ya know I have known since I was 17wks almost 18 wks pg that it was more than likely a boy but I didn’t want to believe it………Why oh why do they have to be so hard to name…….We had tossed around Justice, Jarrod, Jayson, Jace, Nicholas, Jaythan and I know we have tossed around more than that…….Now its just finding something that we both can agree on……..I am leaning towards Justice Andrew or Jayson Andrew, maybe even Jace Andrew……….Yep I have a thing with Andrew…….Joshua and Austin both have family names and Andrew is another family name……..Its Joshua Aaron Lee~Aaron is after my great-grandfather and little brother, Lee is after my dad and Kent’s dad and then later on we found out Joshua was a family name from way back when on Kent’s side…….Austin James Levi~James is after my grandfather both maternal and paternal also dh’s brother…….Levi was as close as I could get to Lee without naming him Lee again……….Clayton Matthew as named after a friend from high school……..So suggestions would be great if there is any out there…..LOL

It has been a crazy couple of days around here…….Kent had surgery last thursday and now it is infected and draining…..Then Joshua ended up being home by himself for an hour and a half when he was suppose to go to afterschool care…………….And no one thought anything about him not being where he was suppose to………..But everything is worked out and he is safe and sound………..Then yesterday he brought me home his first valentine that he has made for me…..here is a picture of him holding it……..

Ignore my dirty kitchen……….It says Valentine, Valentine I make two and give them both to you…….Then he also made a blueberry muffin that says it has 4 blueberries………Its so cute……..I love this stage of learning, I also love this age where boys still worship their momma……I know in a few years that he won’t/act  feel the same way……

We had our u/s yesterday…….Everything is perfect……..Its a boy…….I have 4 boys and a girl…….

Here are some pics of the newest little man in my life

And the boys are going stark raving mad……..THey haven’t been able to be outside since last weekend…….Our yard looks like a swamp…….They are driving me crazy…………Right now they are both in time outs……….Would you believe that Alyssa is actually being good…….She finished all her homework for school……Now she is watching tv and chillin……..WTG hopefully it continues like this for the rest of the night…….

Only 2 days until my u/s….

And Kent got to feel the baby move today…..it was so cool and the look on his face was awesome…….He never gets to feel them this early…….Guess thats one of the perks of loosing weight before getting pg…..

AS for Kent~Well today he took my van to another town and between here adn there he has had nothing but troubles……first he had a flat this morning……..then we found out that the tire shop that we used was close for business……So on a saturday afternoon we are scrambleing for a tire shop which luckily we find one that is 2 towns over……but he has to make it there in an hour…..he did and we got the tire fixed………Then he goes to start the van and it won’t start………..I know that I have been having issues with the van but thought it was because it had been really cold and the battery is old…….Then he pulls in to Vinita and the shock has fallen off again……..We had this issue about a year and a half ago…..And we had to go to the dealership to get the bolt……..Of course it is a special order bolt and wouldn’t you guess that the parts dept of the dealership is already closed……Have to wait til monday to order that one…….UGH….If it ain’t one thing it is another…….

We went everywhere today………From Muskogee to Pryor……..And places in between…..The kids were actually awesome…….I think Momma was getting a bit of cabin fever herself……..Ya know you can only stay home for so long before going stark raving mad………hehehe………Well apparently that is me…….Its late so I am going to keep this short……

We are out of school again tomorrow but with tomorrow being friday and paid day we will not have an issue keeping the kids busy, LOL…….I knew about noon that we wouldn’t have it because one of the neighboring school called off classes and it never fails when they do, we do……..UGH……….

Am I a bad mommy for pulling my hair out with my kids home……..Do NOT get me wrong, I enjoy and love my kids…….I love being a mom but sometimes I just can’t keep up with them and keep them engaged enough to do their chores…….Alyssa is working on the hallway for the last 4 hrs, the majority of the stuff is hers……..The boys dumped out one of their toy boxes and are refusing to pick it up………

but the good thing is the sun is shining and everything is melting………now the bad thing with the melting is that it is suppose to freeze again tonight and that means everythign is going to refreeze………..Bad BAD BAD!!!!  the snow plows haven’t been out to plow the main roads yet………doubt if we see them either…..I don’t look for them to have school tomorrow either……..But ya know I am busy tomorrow, we have to go to muskogee and to vinita and points in between so if everything works out right I don’t have to listen to them but in the van………ANd that reminds me I need to take the portable dvd player in to the shop adn see if it can be fixed……..Oh that would help us out so much……..LOL…..

Austin is my 2 1/2 yr old son

Monday Austin and I were talking about the baby……..he is facinated by babies…..He says we have to go byebye, I said why…..he says we have to go to walmart…..I said why, he says we have to go get the baby……….I’m trying to keep from laughing at this point because he has such a serious look on his face……I told him we don’t go to walmart to get babies…….the baby is in mommy’s tummy….he looks at me with this questioned look in his eye………And says no we go byebye…….I said where to he says Mamaw’s (grandma’s) I said why are we going to grandma’s, he says we have to go get the baby, the baby is at mamaw’s house……OMG, it was so hysterical…….I said no the baby is in mommy’s tummy and we don’t have to go to mamaw’s house…….

We woke up to snow on the ground on top of the ice and sleet………I can not keep the boys in the house, ugh…….They are going to be the death of me…..I figured that if I didn’t put their shoes on that they wouldn’t go out boy was I wrong………Austin jetted out the door the minute I had my back turned……..No shoes, no coat, no hat…….No nothing….His butt is going to be sick again before I know it….boys………they are getting cabin fever so bad…..I hate having to keep them in but last night the low in the big town over was 3 degrees……..that wasn’t the windchill but the actual temp…….and tonight is suppose to be just as cold…..We didn’t make it above freezing but I did see the sun today and it did do some melting but with temps that cold its just going to refreeze tonight so with that they called off school again tomorrow…….They might as well just call it off for the rest of the week as its not suppose to do much melting tomorrow either……..Ok, enough of the cold weather someone please close the freezer door and take all of this cold air back to the artic with ya……

Here is something that I thought everyone would get a kick out of….I know because I have 4 kids how true this is………….
