Amber&Chad plus 2

Okay, so I must gush about my new favorite show, Jon and Kate plus 8. I don't know why but I am absolutely fascinated with these peoples lives. I have so much admiration for Kate Gossilen. She is such a real mom, a good mom. She manages to deal with eight children everyday, and being taped while doing so. And she is real, she doesn't put on a facade or show for the public. What you see is what you get. She is a positive role model. You really should check it out. It is inspirational.http://www.sixgosselins.com

Hoppity, hop hop..Easter's on it's way!

Early Easter 2008

First Haircut!!

So today I took my baby girl to get her first haircut. Honestly she was starting to look like a fraggle, but I was afraid to cut any off. However, it went really well. She got a little impatient towards the end but she is only two so I guess that is to be expected. She did keep her curls which made me really happy. On a side note Payton finally acted like a big boy and didn't cause a scene while getting his hair cut. I was so focused on Victoria that before I knew it he was already done. He made me proud. WTG Pate!! Enjoy the pics of the whole process below.

The blizzard of 2008

Just thought I should show off how adorable my muncykins are.

Me in a nutshell..Literally!

So, Lots of changes going on in my world right now. There were a lot of things medically I had been putting off and I suddenly decided to get them taken care of. Task one was finding a family doctor, my kids have a pediatrician but I can't tell you the last time I had a doctor to call my own. I am the type of person that if I am sick I just go to urgent care and get it taken care of. Unfortunately the time had come to find someone to call my own. I literally plopped the phone book open and started calling around, the first five offices I called I got answering machines. Since I don't like to communicate with automated voices I kept calling around until I reached actual human intelligence. Boy did I really hit the jackpot. The doctor I got in to see is really amazing. Not only did they have a kid friendly office(complete with a great playroom with walls painted with chalkboard paint.Those of you with kids know how important this is!) But the nursing staff even watched my crazy children for an hour while I gave the doc my life's story. How many doctors do you know who would just spend and hour with you. I have to say this was my first.

Well, the blood work they did and physical all came back perfect. Unfortunately the problems I have been suffering were diagnosed as depression and adult ADD. So, basically I am freaking nuts! Lol. Anyway, I am now taking two medications a day. I feel so old. On a positive note I can tell I am starting to feel like the old Amber again. Hurray for drugs!!
