Why is it so cold here!

We had a fun filled day at Tara's house, which was nice the kids played in the front yard while she cleaned her car out. Haleigh worked on riding Inara's bike, along with Kodi and Inara. He is working so very hard at riding a big kid bike. Which is what he will be getting from Aaron and I for his birthday.

We had a great lunch with the kids, my two actually ate the lunch we had made, and than went back for more playing. Tara and I both decided to take the kids to some garage sales, and let the babies sleep in the car while we drove around. Of course we hit one great sale, Kodi got a remote control car which he was very happy with. Kingston just stayed asleep in the car, the rest of the ones we found were not so good.

I had been watching the skies during our little outting for it was getting so very dark, and the rain was coming. So we said good bye to them and headed back to our house. The kids ran inside and waited for the storm to hit. Well the storm we were watching for did not really happen, it rained for about 15 minutes blue skies came back and it was very nice out.

I am not sure what is going on with our summer weather but I really do not like it one bit. We have not seen good warm even hot weather since the end of June. It's been pretty cool here, like fall weather very strange I have to say.

I did take some pictures of the boys and Aaron is bugging me to post them so here is Kodi with his new hair do.

My Birthday

Yes it's my birthday, and thanks to my wonderful Family I had a great one. The kids were pretty good for me today, we did nothing special just had a good time outside playing and being silly.
I think I might have fixed my camera a little bit, not sure at least some of the pictures will come into focus now. I think I am still going to take it in and see what the store says. Maybe just maybe they can fix it, without it costing us a new camera.
Tara and I made plans to go out tonight for alittle no kid time, so my mom took my kids out for ice cream and called to tell me she was going to take them over to a good friend of hers. I was headed to target to pick up some bleach for Tara, the cloth diapers were in need of a bleach treatment and she forget to buy some today.
When I got to her house I noticed the house was ready for night time, so I called and she let me in the garage, and asking me to go and look at the new mirror she bought for the fireplace, well it was a surprise party for me. It was a very nice surprise for me, the whole family was at the party, along with my aunt and my cousin and his family. Uncle Dave made it as well, the Hanus's came and it was a great way to end the night.

Another great surprise is that Dan and Cherstin welcome their new daughter into the world this morning, so there are now two Hamblins that share the same birthday.

Aaron is doing great, he has test number 2 tomorrow. He has been study for this test and is praying he does very well on it.

Kodi got his wild hair finally cut!

Ok so getting our son Kodi to cut his hair has been a huge battle for us, with this sensory problems hair cutting as well as washing his hair is a battle. So needless to say while Daddy has not been home to help me I have not gotten his hair cut, but we have been talking about getting his hair cut for a couple of days and I just continued to ask him. I told him they would not use the clippers, but the scissors, and he seemed ok with that, but it was a no go until this afternoon.
We were outside talking about getting his hair cut and at first he told me no, and than all of a sudden
he said "Mommy cut my hair,"
I turned and said "Right now"
"Yes Go to the Mall and lady cut my Hair"

With that being said I up and left, I was not going to let his chance pass us by. I did buy him a transformer on the way in so he could hold it while they cut his hair. I said countless prayers as we made our way into the mall.

The lady called his name and he went up and sat in the chair, let her spray his hair down and he told her
"My Mommy say no use those (the clippers) just scissors"
Of course for around his ears and his hair line in the bak she had to use the little clippers, but it was a HUGE step for my son. He did not scream, cry or fight us on this. Both Aaron and I are very proud of him. Kodi was proud of himself as well.

He is doing great with washing his air and loves the bath which is good, the Lord has blessed him in so many ways with the help he needs with his speech and sensory problems.

I would be posting pictures of his hair cut, but Kodi was using my camera yesterday and now it doesn't work. He was so proud that he was taking pictures all by himself. LOL now I need either to get the camera fixed or a new one.
Of course when I asked him if he knew he had broken the camera he had no idea what I was talking about, I think when he was using the focus his little finger was stopping the camera from zooming in and out, which in turn doesn't work now.

Aaron now has the internet, thanks to me sending him our laptop which I miss greatly already, but since it will help him and I had both the laptop and the desktop, I needed to share. It's wonderful to be able to chat with him at night.

Mommy and Dakota time

I had another great day, my mom offered to watch KK, Inara and the twins so I could go and see Harry Portter with Kodi, Tara,Scott and Xander. I told Kodi that he and Mommy would be going on a date to a movie, which he thought was pretty cool.
He did pretty good with the Movie at times it was slow for him, but over all he was great sitting and eatting his three bag fulls of popcorn.
Once we got home I finished cleaning our room which was in bad need of a good cleaning. I put away the clothes I washed and made our bed and it felt very nice to have a the two rooms I live in be clean.
Not much with us is going on so that is it, I am tired since both boys did not sleep well last night, so I am off to bed.

Birthday Party

We have had another great weekend, the weather was pretty good for the Birthday Party that we went to for my cousin's little girl who turned 3 . It was a great time and the kids had a blast, we than headed over to Tara's house for a get together with some great friends.

Both of my kids had enough of people and Kingston was turning into a bear so we left and came home. I was able to put both kids to bed and have some what of a quite evening, talking to Aaron. He is doing well, "A" school is going and he is enjoying his classes. He took his first test and did very well.

Today as been a fairly good day for us, church was church I was talking to the nursery leader and she told me that we will be getting (let's keep our fingers crossed) another person to be in with us. Right now we are the only two adults, but we have a small and growing nursery. For some reason the kids were having a hard time coming into nursery and did not want to part from their parents.

But all and all it was good for us at church. We came home and have had a very nice afternoon, and the boys have been great.

New Friends

Kodi and Haleigh a pretty good day for the two of them, not too much fighting, and no one had any time out's which was great.
Kodi has been playing with the next door boys, the last couple of days and loves being able to be outside with some friends.
Tonight he waited for them while they put together a new phone they got in the mail, Kodi was so very excited when the came looking for him. He stayed outside until it was bedtime. He did not want to leave his two new friends. I told them they would be able to come over tomorrow and play with Kodi and Haleigh tomorrow. All three boys were pretty excited about that news.
Kodi came right in and settled down for bed. Kingston was pretty cute while he was getting ready for bed, he talked to Aaron while he was in bed and just kept saying "Dadda, Dadda" and than kissing the phone.
Kodi at first did not want to call Daddy and say good-night to him, but after we texted him he decided he wanted tocall and say good-night, so he told Aaron about his day and how he was happy to have made new friends.
Aaron is doing well, he actually started classes today, and is enjoying his one class he has.
I am doing fine, still pretty tired and it seems that my energy goes away around 4 if I am sitting down I am no good to anyone. The kids are pretty good for me when I am tired, which is a blessing.

Tea Party

Here are the pictures I took of Katy and Adam's Tea Party, it was a great party Tara did a wonderful job of getting the decorations finished setting it all up. Sonita and Macie's cake turned out great, many hours went into the cake and everything else we did to set up for the party. It was a great celebration of their marriage and I am glad we were able to help Katy with her Tea Party.
