Jethro (aka #6)

Jethro I am going to get you back big time once you arrive!!!
Who makes their momma eat tacos for breakfast?!?!?!
This morning it is actually cold taco casserole from last night but you are so happy!!
Look I will make a deal with you if you continue to do whatever you are doing so I dont have morning sickness I promise to keep feeding you tacos when ever and how ever you want! Deal??
BUT can we please talk about all the pimples you are giving me?
I have never had this many pimples EVER!!
Not even as a teenager going through puberty!!
What up dude??
Don't you want a pretty mommy??
None of the other kids did this too me BUT with that said they all had me puking all the time. So I guess I can deal with the pimples for a few more months ;)

"Mommy Princess"


I am not sure exactly how this got started 
and in all honesty I couldn't care less ;) 
the only thing one needs to know 
is that Katrina calls Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast 
"Mommy Princess"

I just put the movie on
as soon as Belle showed up on the screen Katrina screamed & pointed
"Its you mommy!! Its you!!"  

I feel like a million bucks right now!!

My Guardian

Yesterday I read a blog titled "21 things your burglar wont tell you".
Seemed like a good read at the time.
I mean dont you want to know?
BUT Not such a great idea when your husband left that morning for the mountains for 3 days!!
Daaaaa Merideth!!
Last night before I even took the kids up for bath the blog tips started coming to mind and I found myself turning on porch lights and closing blinds so no burglar driving by would see our flat screen tv, computers or gaming systems! Then as soon as I had them all tucked in snug in their beds I set the CPI alarm and found my van keys to put by my pillow.
(These are all tips the blog mentioned)
But I must admit nothing made me feel safer than having Princess Coco Rosebud Dillard sleeping beside me!!
One of the comments at the end of the blog was exactly that. Nothing works better at deterring a burglar then a BIG DOG!!
So since I have 2 big dogs I left one out back as a warning system and one inside right next to me as my GUARDIAN!! She is such a good girl. When I got up in the middle of the night to go potty she walked me to the potty. It was just like having Angel back. When Angel was around and I was pregnant she was by my side constantly while I was home.
There is no stronger love than that of your 4 legged child!! I know she would have given her life for me and my kids if a burglar had tried to get in! I have seen how mad she gets at Frisco and just pictured her attacking a burglar just like that! HA HA
Love you Coco & Frisco!!
MISS YOU ANGEL RIP!!

Big News

"Run RUN!!
Mom is expecting another!!" 

 

When we found out we were expecting I tried to think of the funnest way to share with everyone.
This is what I came up with!!
Whatcha think?

God has truly blessed us!
I thought we were done. WE thought we were done!
I tell ya, we make all these plans and God sits up there on his thrown with a bowl of popcorn slapping his knee maybe even shedding a tear or two laughing hysterically.
"Those Dillard's think they have it all figured out!!!"

We thought we would refinance the house to help save some money so we could build Jacob a room. Then in order to pass the refinance we had to get our Master shower fixed. Bonus!!
Then we pass our appraisal and we start to see some of the $$
and
KAPLUUUEEEEEE
our downstairs toilet erupted!
Plumber comes out BAM $70, Plumber has to put camera down pipe to see what problem is BAM $250, Plumber finds a cracked and shifted pipe! BAM more $$$
BUT on a positive note we are getting all new floors on the first floor!!
The problem outside is now fixed and should not be a problem again!!

Now to try and save $$ and build Jacob his own room!
He sure is gonna need it if its a girl!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Carly keeps telling us its twins!!
God is funny but lets hope he is not THAT funny!!

Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

Thank you father for our rewards!!
We will raise them to LOVE you, Honor you and Share your word!!

Secrets

Ever had a secret you wanted to SCREAM from every roof top you could possibly get on???

I DO!!!!

Its killing me to keep it secret.
I made the stupid mistake of telling someone close. And got ripped a totally new butt-hole!!
Now I am scared to share with anyone else.

With each passing day the fact that I feel I cant tell anyone else because of this one negative person is making me resent this person more and more.
I keep asking myself
WHAT DO I DO??

Come & Go

While we have lived in this house for 10+ years we have had many neighbors come and go.
Some we were happy to see go and some that touched our hearts so much we cried when they moved.
But NONE have touched our hearts as much as Cindy and her boyfriend Michael.
Cindy passed away in February to cancer (I wish I could kick cancers ass!!) and Michael moved back to Florida yesterday.
For the past couple of years every morning I have taken their newspaper up to their door, this morning it sits there taunting me. Every cell in my body is telling me to go get it and take it to the front porch. Just makes me cry! I miss Cindy so much.
Watching Mike drive away yesterday was so very sad. I can not believe it is affecting me so much but I really do miss my good friend Cindy. She was always there for me. To listen to me bitch or cry or just be silly she was always there. She never judged me for my crazy drama. She always just loved me. I miss her. I miss Mike.
When Cindy was diagnosed with Cancer and lost a lot of her ability to take care of herself Michael dropped everything and moved in with her to help. At first we all thought he was crazy or that he had some sort of hidden objective for moving in with her. None of us could imagine that he was so loving and dear that he (a man) would just drop everything to help her. I have never felt such a lump of guilt for thinking so low of him. He truly loved Cindy and he did all he could for her in her last year in a half. I miss him and I miss Cindy. Even after Cindy passed Michael kept a bottle of Vodka for me in the freezer and insisted ;) I come over and have cocktails with him. I found that I was able to talk with Michael just like I was able to talk to Cindy. Michael became a great friend. I miss him so much and he only moved yesterday.
Michael has passed down to me a couple special things of Cindy's to help keep her memory alive. He gave me the huge Gorilla that Cindy loved and even brought to a party or two at my house as her "date". He gave me her Ronald McDonald coffee mug that for some reason was always my cup there for Vodka. He also just passed down to me her Skeleton Halloween earrings for me to keep her Halloween tradition alive. And the very last night I was there he gave me a bottle of Vodka for the freezer and her Halloween witch hat. I feel very special to have such special things of hers but I honestly wish I still had her.
Cindy's house was my refuge, my safe haven, my place to escape, my sanity zone!!
On Mike's last night in the house I of course went over to hang out and we joked about what I was going to do now to stay sane. It is crazy to think of other people living in that house! CRAZY! I dont think I will like whoever moves in for the mere fact that they are not Cindy or Mike!! :-)

Is it even possible??

Is it even possible??

It has been 3 days and I think Katrina is potty trained!!
I am just in shock!!
Never has it been this easy!!
Jacob and Carly were impossible to train!!
And when I say impossible that is putting it lightly! Jacob refused to poop in the potty. Carly would save her poop for nap time, take it off and play in it!! *gagging
Have I mentioned that Carly then potty trained Paityn when it was time!! No joke!!

The first day of potty training Katrina she peed in the first two pairs of panties we put on her. She did not like that felling one bit!! That was all it took. She peed in the potty the rest of the day. No poop at all on day 1. On day 2 she had a full diaper when she got out of bed, went right downstairs and put on some panties and peed in the potty all day with just 1 pee accident AND she pooped in the potty 3 times (she had a little bit of diarrhea).
I am just so shocked at how she is doing! Day 3 1 pee accident with all poop in potty!! Day 4 is today, she woke with no pee in diaper and came running to potty as soon as she woke! Tonight I will put her in the thicker training panties for bed and see how she does!!
