The crib is now in the attic (yes, I teared up while taking it apart) But, it was short lived, as little miss was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">soooooo</span> excited for her new-to-her bed!

He will be getting new bedding, but since this was a surprise to us today, we had to make due with what we had on hand. So...he has a set of mommy and daddy's flannel sheets and a comforter that was mine before Mick and I met! He wants to paint the headboard and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">foot board</span> this Spring, so I will probably stall on getting new bedding until he chooses his colors. Emily wants a Tinkerbell blanket and pillow for her bed, so I am watching for sales at Joanne's so I can make one for her little bed. FUN, FUN!!

Sorry, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Facebook</span> pretty much took the place of my blog. But, as I was looking <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">thru</span> old posts today, I realized that I missed being able to look back at my life with a click of the mouse. So, here I am updating, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">hoping</span> to stay faithful to my blog once again.<br /><br />We had a wonderful, family filled Christmas, and a quiet New Year's Eve. With the children, of course Christmas was a blast! Emily loved telling everyone that it was Baby Jesus' birthday. That made <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Mommy's</span> heart melt the whole season. Luke had a great time, helping his sister with all of her new toys and playing with daddy building <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">GeoTrax</span> in the basement. We cleared out an area in the playroom in the basement and made it all <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">GeoTrax</span>, I will post a pic next time, so you can see it! It is awesome!! We got to spend <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> of time with my brother and his fiance who were here for 2 weeks over Christmas, the kids had a great time with Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristen! <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_tz4h_YeBfo6MEEw6bL8Twqw6uxzGAUOkrne_9dKBsZfm91sfju-DA4-xJ9Pv7tLs2JVXGICIUidtIfSkzRSrufsEF74NLpX9p3K508aGQVG_dLngNMNviWMzyIfz_VdtPlV/s1600-h/IMAG0001.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT_tz4h_YeBfo6MEEw6bL8Twqw6uxzGAUOkrne_9dKBsZfm91sfju-DA4-xJ9Pv7tLs2JVXGICIUidtIfSkzRSrufsEF74NLpX9p3K508aGQVG_dLngNMNviWMzyIfz_VdtPlV/s320/IMAG0001.JPG" /></a> </div>Em and Uncle Mike<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJi-SWl0m3V4PyeVQ5q0oSFSpTl2uiM_ofiHqaludR4losKoc89sPjMhQpwE83meeHRLe5iiZuvLa0RH4H_8QjjZTj2ZRRL6H6Sz-ky42_Ztw5WJ1oGJc_JZ4e1IKKCVfOFfu2/s1600-h/IMAG0003.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJi-SWl0m3V4PyeVQ5q0oSFSpTl2uiM_ofiHqaludR4losKoc89sPjMhQpwE83meeHRLe5iiZuvLa0RH4H_8QjjZTj2ZRRL6H6Sz-ky42_Ztw5WJ1oGJc_JZ4e1IKKCVfOFfu2/s320/IMAG0003.JPG" /></a> </div>Uncle Mike and Luke showing off their muscles!<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCucv6T4VzEiBHaMXJIa3xOuYnO5aBoNmS70PobTwd-xTQLyHf1s9ij6Q8e2ZV-2hRIz8fZ9YQjs3H12Vkf4lw2fC9uKyDo8kIL7dw8LCywFRqi7UjeGQ8NlWreR9Wpj-3yOnp/s1600-h/IMAG0025.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCucv6T4VzEiBHaMXJIa3xOuYnO5aBoNmS70PobTwd-xTQLyHf1s9ij6Q8e2ZV-2hRIz8fZ9YQjs3H12Vkf4lw2fC9uKyDo8kIL7dw8LCywFRqi7UjeGQ8NlWreR9Wpj-3yOnp/s320/IMAG0025.JPG" /></a> </div>Emily playing with her baby doll (new Christmas toys!!)

After my last post, I ended up in the hospital for a few hours with breathing problems, and severe nausea. After I was all better, Emily came down with it and Mick got it again! It was a complete mess in my house for 2 weeks! It was the longest 2 weeks of my life! <br /><br />The kids had a blast on Halloween, I will post those pics next. Emily was Minnie Mouse and Luke was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Spiderman</span>. They got tons of candy and were on sugar <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">hi's</span> for like 10 days! Life is back to normal here, I was back to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jazzercise</span> this week, went to Beth Moore with my gal pals last weekend, had my mom's b-day party on Wednesday and then our nephew's party tonight. Mick and I teach Sunday school tomorrow, so that will be fun! Nothing too exciting, although we are in the midst of planning a super cool birthday party for a pretty neat 4 year old that lives here! ;0) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><!-- Bookstore Image Link --><br /><a href="http://www.livetotalwellness.com/jdobra"><img src="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca/live-logo.jpg" width="400" height="60" /></a><br />{ <a href="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca">Jessica <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dobra</span>, Independent Marketing Executive</a> }</center><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527711794433751122noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34089733.post-29265675085295888422009-10-21T11:53:00.000-07:002009-10-21T12:05:15.577-07:00sick, sick and more sick....Our household has been sick for 6 days now! Luke came down with a fever on Friday and since then Mick, and I have also gotten sick! Emily is the only one that seems to be unaffected by all the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">acky</span> germs in our house right now. She is also the only one that was able to get a flu shot a few weeks ago...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">coincidence</span>? I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">don't</span> think so! <br /><br />Luke was the first to get sick, fever, chills, body aches, runny nose, lack of energy and appetite....my poor little boy! He was doing better on Monday, but seemed worse again on Tuesday, so I took him to the doc this morning as he still had a slight fever. Come to find out, he has an ear infection and fluid in his other ear. Hopefully, once he gets some doses of his antibiotic in him, he will be more himself!!<br /><br />Mick and I were both in a wedding on Saturday night, so we had Mick's parent come to the house to watch the sick one and his little sister. Mick performed the ceremony and I was a bridesmaid. Beautiful wedding, but we left by 7pm to come home and help our sick little guy....Mick and I both started feeling sick about 8pm Saturday night. Body aches, runny nose, exhaustion...the list goes on and on..<br /><br />Sunday 3 of us are sick, little Em is still good as can be tho! Mick is starting to feel a little bit better by Sunday night, but not 100% by far.<br /><br />Monday Mick stayed home from work, I was sicker than Sunday and Luke seemed better. Mick was still coughing a ton and I was just wiped out. Luke seemed much better and his temp was back down to 99.5..that is good considering the 2 previous days it was 103.3!! <br /><br />Tuesday I get up and feel okay, Mick goes to work and Luke seems pretty good too, Emily was fine as well. 10:30 AM and I get sick! Oh so sick, I cant walk, I cant eat, I need help..Mick comes home from work and I sleep the rest of the day away. By last night I was feeling <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> better...not sure what happened to me, I am usually the healthiest one in my family! Guess Emily wins that prize now! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span><br /><br />Wednesday (today) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Luke's</span> fever is back this morning so I take him to the doc and learn about his ear infection and fluid on the other....get antibiotics, grab lunch and now Luke and Em are asleep. I am feeling much better, but still have this cough in my chest, it hurts, but I think it is better than yesterday and as long as I do not talk too much, it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">doesn't</span> seem to bother me that much! Bet Mick is happy about that! And that is why I am blogging right now, rather than talking on the phone ;0)<br /><br />Hopefully we are on the mend, Mick is doing good today, I feel good, and Luke has his <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">meds</span> now....Emily seems fine still! <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><!-- Bookstore Image Link --><br /><a href="http://www.livetotalwellness.com/jdobra"><img src="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca/live-logo.jpg" width="400" height="60" /></a><br />{ <a href="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca">Jessica <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dobra</span>, Independent Marketing Executive</a> }</center>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527711794433751122noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34089733.post-44914663909638234952009-10-11T18:40:00.000-07:002009-10-11T18:40:25.199-07:00my loves<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-WTf3Fq4AYbYU-8cnL32rrSQQCSXRSrHmN4IBArzNXNJuvSE_q9XwHRf-ygaHKZKIXbdJaN_H76SvHiqGbQ5j9d1kmbVPQ3kK2paLsHgwU4lJ1zZDKnzxvOW3AetQgAoLdKXk/s1600-h/P1010054.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-WTf3Fq4AYbYU-8cnL32rrSQQCSXRSrHmN4IBArzNXNJuvSE_q9XwHRf-ygaHKZKIXbdJaN_H76SvHiqGbQ5j9d1kmbVPQ3kK2paLsHgwU4lJ1zZDKnzxvOW3AetQgAoLdKXk/s320/P1010054.JPG" /></a> </div><br />Here are Mick, Luke and Em at a bonfire on Saturday night...how cute is this pic??? <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><!-- Bookstore Image Link --><br /><a href="http://www.livetotalwellness.com/jdobra"><img src="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca/live-logo.jpg" width="400" height="60" /></a><br />{ <a href="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca">Jessica Dobra, Independent Marketing Executive</a> }</center><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527711794433751122noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34089733.post-19398884740138965832009-10-09T04:50:00.000-07:002009-10-09T04:53:21.121-07:001/2 WAY THERE...I am so excited to announce that I am 1/2 way to my 30 before 30 goal now!!

I started sneezing, and coughing and feeling sick, my nose was dripping none stop too (gross, I know!). By 3 pm I called Mick to reschedule something he had that night, so he could get home and help me out. I crashed in recliner at 6 and woke at 7 to move to our room and watched Biggest Loser, then crashed again until the next morning.<br /><br />Wednesday, I had to cancel a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">play date</span> I was having at our house, as we did not want to spread the lovely bug around town that I had. By noon on Wednesday I was feeling better and the day was going better! We had a pajama day at the house, until it was time to get Luke ready for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">AWANA</span>. After we dropped Luke at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">AWANA</span>, we stopped at Verizon to cancel my cell phone and drop the other one to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">minimum</span> amount of minutes for emergencies only. Earlier in the day Mick closed a credit card account for us, (we are attending Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and trying to get out of debt and stay out of debt) so that was exciting for us to take the first step and close the account! I dropped Mick and Emily off at home and went back to get Luke from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">AWANA</span> and help out with MOPS set up for a bit. On the way home tho, Luke and I were hit by a drunk driver! The jerk sped off after he hit us too! It was 8:40 at night, so it was too dark to see him or his plates. We have a $500 deductible, so we are out that unless we find the guy! The good news, Luke and I are just fine, and the van is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">drivable</span>! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">PTL</span>!!! So, we will live with the damage for a but, until we get our $500 saved up and then fix it. <br /><br />Thursday was good, considering all that had happened, we went to Financial Peace University that night, it was fun and educational as always.<br /><br />Friday I had MOPS in the morning, but was called out about a 1/2 hour into our meeting...Emily has a fever of 100.9...oh boy...what a way to start a weekend! Lucky me.<br /><br /><br /><center><!-- Bookstore Image Link --><br /><a href="http://www.livetotalwellness.com/jdobra"><img src="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca/live-logo.jpg" width="400" height="60" /></a><br />{ <a href="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca">Jessica <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dobra</span>, Independent Marketing Executive</a> }</center>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527711794433751122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34089733.post-77041680773822494242009-09-22T13:45:00.000-07:002009-09-22T13:45:39.003-07:00Wow!<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px">We had craft time this afternoon...now I remember why we do not do this very often...it gives me a headache looking at the mess!!

The veggies were .50 cents each after coupons, the 2 small <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">deodorants</span> were FREE!!, the waffles were a buck a box, and the mac and cheese was .76 cents a box. The cereal was all on sale and I used a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">bunch</span> of different coupons, but paid no more than $1.00 a box. We LOVE cereal in the house and eat is every morning for breakfast, so this will last awhile, which is nice! I did have to pay full price for the milk, bread and Mick's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">deodorant</span> tho, that alone was over $10.00!

They meet weekly on Wednesdays for about 2 hours. It is like a combination of Boy Scouts and Bible School. Luke <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">absolutely</span> LOVES it, and has his bible verse memorized already for next weeks class. They earn patches for their vest for memorization and attendance and a few other things. He was pretty excited when we picked him up as he was the teachers helper with the flag while the class said The Pledge on Wednesday night! It was odd <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">dropping</span> him off somewhere, away from family, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">actually</span> leaving the building for awhile! But he did <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">excellent</span> and loved every minute of it and can not wait to go back! And seriously, how cute does he look in his little uniform with his bag and all??!! Oh and check out my mad sewing skills: I had to sew on the troop # today during nap time "2312" and it only took me an hour and a 1/2 and that is with my sewing machine! Oh and he popped a button off his vest the other night, so I had to fix that too. Oh and the kicker about that troop number? I talked to a friend today and was mentioning how I sewed on his troop number, and she says: "Oh, we just iron ours on, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">don't</span> they have the little sticky on the back??" Um, yea they did, but I did not know what <em>that</em> was! Oh well, live and learn!

It is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> harder for me to get up at 5am to be there for class, so I prefer to take the kids with me to the 8 or 9:15 class. This week we had stuff going on and I am babysitting more often, so I needed to go to the 5:30am class M,W and Friday of this week. Made it Monday, but not today! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">GRRR</span>!

The cub in the middle picture on the left is the one that the kids got to pet, play with, and feed a bottle too! It was pretty amazing!

Apparently a child got <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ahold</span> of the pen that was placed for people to sign a framed photo of Matt and Janelle. The picture was a beautiful, huge, black and white picture of Matt and Janelle holding hands while walking down a trail. Once the child(<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">ren</span>) got <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">ahold</span> of the pen tho, it made this beautiful picture look horrific! I was literally sick to my stomach when looking at it after the child(<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">ren</span>) drew all over Matt and Janelle's arms, faces, necks and legs with black ink. Janelle's mother was planning on calling the photographer to see about having them cut the picture from the border it was on and replacing it with a new picture (can you say big bucks???). <br /><br />I asked them to bring the picture over and let us see what we could do with Sol-U-Mel and a few q-tips. <strong>Sure enough, the minute I applied the Sol-U-Mel covered q-tip to the picture, the ink started to fade!!! It was as if the Sol-U-Mel was sucking the ink from the photo! We were able to remove all of the ink marks!</strong> In fact, after we were done, I asked if there were any signatures they wanted removed, from people they were not too fond of! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span> (Of course they said NO!) I was at Janelle's house this afternoon and saw the picture and it looks <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">absolutely</span> wonderful, you can not even tell that it was covered in scribble marks at one point!<br /><br />**disclaimer- I know for a 100% fact that it was not my child that scribbled on the picture*** ;0)<br /><br /><a href="http://cybermick.com/livewell">Learn more about healthy, environmentally safe, and awesome products like this!</a><br /><br /><br />Another wonderful Sol-U-Mel save.....yesterday afternoon I was sorting Luke's baby clothes for a friend to borrow and realized that all of my favorites were covered in yellow stains from when he was little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">pukie</span>-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lukie</span>! I soaked them overnight in a Sol-U-Mel mixture and sure enough today, they look brand new!<br /><br />Finally- tonight for dessert I made chocolate pudding, as Luke was eating his in the living room on the beige area rug, the bowl spilled and the pudding ended up all over the rug. The dog, of course, licked up what he could (good '<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">ol</span> Sarge!). And then I was left with a huge brown stain! After a few squirts of Sol-U-Mel and a few rubs with a paper towel and wash cloth, the carpet looks great and you can not tell anything was spilled there!<br /><br />I LOVE SOL-U-MEL!!!<br /><br />One more- sorry!! Yesterday after cleaning the baby clothes with the Sol-U-Mel, I left the squirt bottle sitting out on the table and my little monkey girl, Emily, climbed up and sprayed herself in the eyes with it. Of course, I was nervous and washed her eyes out, she seemed fine, but I wanted to be sure, so I called poison control, told them what happened and they informed me that she would be fine since there are no harsh chemicals in the cleaner! It is such a relief to not have to worry about her getting into something that is harmful to her! With my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Melaleuca</span> products, I know that my children, pets, carpet(!) and clothes(!) are safe!<br /><center><!-- Bookstore Image Link --><br /><a href="http://www.livetotalwellness.com/jdobra"><img src="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca/live-logo.jpg" width="400" height="60" /></a><br />{ <a href="http://www.cybermick.com/melaleuca">Jessica <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dobra</span>, Independent Marketing Executive</a> }</center>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06527711794433751122noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34089733.post-56880605002976604432009-08-21T20:49:00.000-07:002009-08-21T20:50:21.433-07:00Fun at the ball park<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px">We celebrated my grandpa's 84<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> or 85<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> (?) birthday tonight at the Chief's Game with my family.

He is 6 months old and it is so funny how fast you forget the little things about that age. He is wobbly, tends to spill forward after sitting for a few minutes, so I had to remember to put soft toys all around him. He liked spinning himself in circles on the carpet..and getting up and rocking on all 4's..hate to tell you this Heather, but you will have a little mover on your hands pretty soon!! I also forgot how silly they are when they are learning to eat cereals and veggies and other yummy stuff! He <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">barely</span> opened his little mouth for the cereal and pretty much decided that the arm of Emily's hi-chair tasted better than his carrots his mommy sent! ;0) Luke was a great helped for the 1st 10 minutes, then lost interest....Emily, on the other hand, thought Aunt Heather had asked her to babysit, and I was just there to assist!
