Memories..........................

A couple weeks ago one of my closest friends Wendys son called to speak with Abe.

He was calling to ask him about the Marine Corps, now anyone that knows Abe knows how he feels about the Marines.........he was born to be one. But since he could no longer be in the Marines it rarely gets talked about, I think it is just to painful. But boy could I see the excitement in his face while he talked to Timmy about everything from what they have to offer, the strength and dedication you must have to be successful in the Marines, and most of all the pride it gives you to be a United States Marine. With all that being said they got off the phone and we wondered what he would do with that info, maybe go in another branch of service like my brother did by going into the Air Force or like Abes brother who went into the Army........... well we got our answer last saturday when Wendy came to visit and told me he is leaving for Marine Corps bootcamp this week!!!!!!!!!! I think Abe is secretly so proud.

So it got me thinking about our time in the Marines and being a emotional wreak right now I just wanted to cry, those were some of the best times in my life and I know in Abes! Thats when we met, fell in love and had the best times ever!!!! I can't wait to tell Freddy when he grows up about what a amazing father he has and the things he did, like become NCO of the year over I think it was like 4000 Marines. He received so many other honors that I won't bore you with, but it is like everyone says " I AM HIS BIGGEST CHEERLEADER". I sit here on my birthday while Abe is at work thinking of how proud I am to be his wife, no matter what he does. So with that here are a couple pictures from our times in the Marines........the one is of us at the Marine Corps Ball, it was a great time he found out he was going to have another dream of his come true by becoming a drill instructor. I was so proud!!!! The other one is him in a marathon, he is a runner at heart and it was always between him and his friend Ron in the company of the fastest runners. Again I really could go on and on about his accomplishments but I will stop here...................

Friends.......................

This is my friend Vicki, she was such a huge help during my pregnancy and after. She could not wait to come and hold the babies because when all her friends had their babies she had one as well. So now hers are a little older and she can enjoy just holding them. She is pretending to be me............so tired.

Is this how I look all the time????????????

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

From our house to yours, have a Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!

WHAT A DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so the day started out fine. Get the kids ready for the twins first dr appt. I had everything ready, everyone in the kitchen to put in the car. Well I take Freddy out in the garage to the car and for the split second I put him in, Abby shuts and deadbolts the door!!! I start to lose my mind, keep in mind she has NEVER even touched the door locks or anything for me to worry about. I first kick in the cat door and I am on my back talking to her and explaining to unlock the door, as she looks at me like she has no idea what I am saying.

I first talk to her calm then I turn to anger because I can hear Maddy in there crying, I had given my mom my house key when she was watching Abby while I was in the hospital and forgot to get it back from her. Abe had his at work with him in Hollywood........... so needless to say I had a panic attack which did not help and I was freaking out, Abe told me to break one of the windows so I tryed and the windows would not break. I guess that is a good thing!!!!

I then just thought I would try a screwdriver and pry and break the wood around the deadbolt and it worked!!!!! She must have just been about to lock it half way, thank the Lord!!!!!! I now have one of my foam door stoppers to use for it from now on, but I will tell you I have never in my life been so scared and helpless!!!!! I felt like the worse mother ever the whole day!

Freddy and Maddy

HOW CUTE ARE THEY..........

Ok, I will come clean.....

Ok, I have been so out of it for so long it seems that I am driving myself nuts!!!!!! I am feeling like I have to have everything done NOW!!!!! I feel great and I am so thankful to not be pregnant anymore that I am running around like a chicken with their head cut off. I really need to stop and enjoy my life and my family more then worry about the house and things like that. I have not spent the time and energy into Abby the way I should and now I need to make up for it, BUT the problem is she is trying to get the attention anyway she can so I feel like I am constantly putting her in time out or on her bed, that I want to cry. I know this is alot for her with me always having a baby in my arms feeding etc...... but I still need her to have control and still feel loved. I am just feeling the pulling of what I should be focused on, I want the twins to have their special time of laying in my arms and having that bond that Abby got but I want to make sure she is getting the love and support she deserves!!! Oh geez I know it will all work out sometime, hopefully sooner then later.
