Hello everyone, just been updating my blog today, since I have a little bit of time while kids are sleeping. So if you scroll down to the bottom of my blog you can play hangman. I know, but it's kind of fun.
I am getting into the Christmas spirit as you can tell I changed my background and added some Christmas music. So I am also going to put a little challenge out there to those who read my blog. I challenge everyone starting the day you read this to do something for someone everyday. This doesn't mean you have to buy something for someone. This is the time for giving and you can give in many ways. A simple smile to someone who doesn't expect it, a phone call, a letter...not an email a real letter with a postage stamp to someone. It can be anything small or big whatever is in your hearts desire :) Do this everyday til the end of the year and maybe you can make it a habit. I know by doing this you will bless someone as well as yourself. Involve your kids to, let them color something for someone and then take it to a friends house or do a secret santa, you know knock on someones door and run. The kids should get a kick out of that. If your kids are too young make cookies with them and let them dump the ingrediants, I know it gets messy but you will all have fun. Here is an idea take a whole day without doing "mommy things" and only do kid things, you will be surprised how much fun you will have and no don't stop to put a load of laundry in until your kids are asleep.
So that's it! That is my challenge. Yesterday I made cookies with my kids, of course my boys are too little to understand what to do yet, so I got a bowl of flour and gave all three of my kids measuring cups and let them dump it into another bowl, then I measured the correct amount into the a different bowl, they had fun and thought they were helping. There was flour everywhere on everyone, but not to bad to clean up.
Alright everyone good luck and let me know how you do!

It's Autumn time!
It's Autumn time, it's Autumn time, the leaves are falling down!
We had a lot of fun this day. My kids, daycare kids and some neighbor kids all played in our yard raking leaves. They were getting bored so I made a little route down our hill on the side of our house. I raked all the leaves to the bottom of the hill, then I got all the little bikes and cars we had and everyone took turns rolling down the hill and smashing into the leaves. It was a lot of fun! I even did it. They did this for hours.
Our outdoor adventures!
This summer we went hiking a lot with the kids. It was great fun! It's great the boys were able to walk to whole time instead of us carrying them. Matthew however is a slow poke because he likes to stop and pick up all the rocks along the way. He will seriously have 10 rocks in each hand and still try to pick up some more.
The boys never want to hold still for pictures as you can see, but we tried anyway. I can't wait til it gets warmer to hike again. Next year should be even more fun!

The trash can
Maverick and Matthew snuck outside the other day and we had this trashcan filled with water and soap. Maverick climbed into it despite the fact that it was a little bit cold outside. Yeah... he had a blast. It was pretty funny.
Halloween
Here is a picture from Halloween. Ryan was a cowboy, Maverick was a lion, Kaylee a peacock, Matthew a puppy and I was a witch. It was fun and I think they had a good time.
Maverick's fit.
So I took the kids outside the other day to rake leaves and Maverick here is throwing a fit because he wanted the rake. We are big floppers these days. At least he had a soft landing!
Kaylee the photographer!
So I just found these... Kaylee got a hold of the camera so I thought I would share some of her masterpieces. We have some lovely feet that are in fact Kaylees. A stuffed triceratops dinosaur. A beautiful picture of a sippy cup. Her newest and bestest friend Beily pronounced Bailey. Some pictures of Matthew and Maverick... and of course a half picture of Dora which is her pillowcase. Too funny!
Potty Time!
So this is how my boys use the potty at our house! Yes I know we have accomplished so much. They love to drag the little potty into the bathtub every time they take a bath. So for now I am going to have to put it up until they are a little older. Yes I have no desire to try and potty train them right now. It seems kind of pointless unless they can talk a little bit.
Hello all! So I finally have DSL thanks to my new wonderful friend Deena! Deena and her husband just moved out to midway and she told me she could DSL. Centurytel told me I couldn't have DSL without paying for the landline... well I guess now I can. Yeah!!! I can do alot of things now and faster!!! It is great. Especially for school, it used to take me 20 minutes to post a comment, now it takes less then five.
I just started a new semester in school... I think it will be 10 years before I actually graduate, but oh well right? I have been a bum as of late. I don't ever really feel like doing anything. My kids are the ones who suffer :( I need to get back on track with my life. I broke out in hives two days ago and I think they are starting to fade away. Stress? I don't know I guess I will blame it on stress. It looked gross though! Once our room downstairs is finished and I can actually get my house in order again I think I will calm down a little bit.
So for those of you who don't know... my little brother and his wife are going to have a baby! I am excited! My older sis ran away to Alaska.. poo on her! Now she can't go see Twilight with me..:( Yes I am pouting cause I miss her! And my best friend Ja nay-nay aka Jenny.. is still in Arizona and falling in love! Good for her it's about time! Just kidding Jen. Everyone has moved away and left us Drysdales alone in Missouri. That's ok though. Now I just need to get some money and go for a vacation.. hmm. I like the sound of that.
Anyway... Things are good, it's getting colder and colder though so I have to find some activities for my kids to do inside. I have been trapping my boys in their room/playroom because as soon as I let them out, they are climbing, dumping, and who knows what else they are gonna do. They are very active little boys. They loved Trick or Treating after they finally understood what you were suppose to do. At first they kept trying to go into the houses, then they thought they had to trade candy, but after watching their big sis, they were ready. We didn't stay out too long though besides they don't really need a sugar high. Nothing like adding sugar on top of crazy hyper... I have a picture I need to add of us in our costumes. The kids looked so cute.
Well that is it for now nothing really exciting has gone on around here just the day to day... so I will update again soon.

Getting ready for bed
Ryan is playing with the kids before they have to go to bed. They were all laughing so hard. It was the best!
Kaylee's boyfriend!
He is not really her boyfriend, but they had fun. This little boy is one of my good friends son. She needed me to watch him one week while she was on call in Columbia. His name is Aiden. They got along really well. I was watching them jump on the trampoline and they kept posing for me so I started taking some pictures. He is a really cute kid full of curly hair like Kaylee. He was a good kid I liked watching him. Kaylee was a fan as well as you can see.
Kaylee, the butterfly
Kaylee got her face painted during the twilight festival. It was fun, but the lines were soooo long. She thought this was pretty cool, I think it was worth standing in line, just to see how excited she was.
Hello!
Hello, It has been a long time since I have posted anything. I have a lot to update so I will be posting some older pics as well as some new ones. Things have been rough for me for the last few months, so I have slacked off a little. As some of you might know we are building our master bedroom downstairs and so it seems that ever since we started that our whole house became a disaster and I can't ever seem to keep anything clean. It should be done by next month I hope anyway then we can rearrange everything and get it back to normal.
The boys had their 2 year birthday I can't believe it!! They have gotten so big. They don't talk a whole lot yet but I can understand their language. They do have their own little language. Ah me is what is sounds like means they want a drink or food. They have other little sayings too. It is fun to watch them grow and learn. Maverick for the most part right now is my snuggler. He loves his mama. He can be very sweet to. When we go shopping he helps put things onto the conveyor belt or hands things to me. One day baby Aiden (3 month old I watch) was crying and Maverick saw his bottle and grabbed it and took it downstairs to where Aiden was at. (Maverick didn't know I was following him) He went down by Aiden and laid the bottle next to him and said there you go and patted his back. It was very cute and very sweet. Maverick can be a stinker too though. Matthew is my sneaky one. He is always getting into something. For the most part he is a Daddy's boy, but he has his moments when he only wants me. He is the best at blowing kisses to me at night. He seems to enjoy making Maverick mad. He likes to hit Maverick on the head with toys or take the toys that Maverick is playing with and run around laughing while Maverick is chasing him crying.... yeah he is a real stinker sometimes. He has gotten so bad that he will hit my daycare kids if I have them all in the playroom. So right now our playroom is just for my boys. Their favorite things right now are any kind of animals, but especially Dinosaurs. They love to make the animal noises and then they also love to play with their choo choos. I bought a cool set at a garage sale and they play with those every day. Matthew has to have at least two or three to sleep with every night.
Kaylee has been very good as well. She is a talker!! She would talk your ear off none stop all day long if you let her. As many of you know I lost one daycare kid which was Taylor who was Kaylee's best friend. She misses her lots and talks about her a lot. Kaylee was pretty lonely after she moved. She moved to South Carolina so there are no visits we can make to say hi again. I was lucky enough though because my neighbor called me one day and said that someone had moved into the neighborhood and needed her to watch their 4 year old daughter part time. She told them to ask me. So now I have a another 4 year old girl. Her name is Beily pronounced Bailey. Her birthday is in June so she is only a month older then Kaylee. They have become great friends.. They are both head strong so they fight more then Kaylee and Taylor fought, but it has been great. Kaylee is going to have a sleep over with her tonight actually. We also met some of our neighbors who both have 4 year old little girls. We went two weeks ago to one of their houses for a camp out and roasted marshmellows and hotdogs. I took the boys and they kept trying to climb into the fire. Kaylee stayed by herself with them in the tent all night. She did very goood and then she came home the next day. She had a blast. It has been great to get to know some more girls around here for her.
Onto me and Ryan.... I started school again and it has been hard keeping up, but I am doing ok so far. Ryan has been a big help. He helps with our kids and gets them to bed, he helps with the daycare kids when I need him to as well. He has been superdad for the last few months. Also for this week Ryan has stayed home with our kids and our daycare kids so that I could go out and hunt... Haha that is funny. I knew he really wanted to go, but he let me go anyway. I ended up seeing 14 deer the first morning and I should have shot this nice buck, but I got scared. I was pulled back on him but I don't think I could have hit him so I let it go, but I should have shot it at 30 yards, I just didn't think I would have got him. I did shoot a button buck though and then yesterday night I shot a doe, but I guess I must have put a poor shot on her. Ryan is going to try and track her today. I am going to go shoot my bow here in a few to see if my sight is off. Ryan called me this morning and said he shot a buck, but I haven't heard from him since so I hope he finds it.
Ryan and I had our five year anniversary. He planned a huge day which turned out really good. He bought me a new ring kind of an upgrade from my old one. I really like it. I will have to take a picture. Josie our lab had puppies. Yep 7 puppies, well she actually had 8 puppies but one was born dead. It was so tiny! I had to freeze it then throw it away, it was sad. We have given all the puppies away except two. One female and one male. The male is suppose to go to someone from Ryan's work, but he hasn't seen him yet so hopefully they still take him and yesterday I got a call from someone saying they might want the last pup. She was my favorite we nicknamed her Charlie. We were going to keep her, but decided not very smart right now. The kids enjoyed having the pups around. Kaylee was their adopted mother I swear. For a while she had a different puppy inside everynight sleeping with it. I didn't mind she took care of them really well. I think last night Ryan decided to get rid of Josie. She has been tearing things up lately and I don't know what her problem is. I don't know what we are going to do with her. Coop is still around but he has actually been pretty good. Josie has been more of a pain then Cooper lately.
Well that seems enough to update about right now.. next time I will have to write sooner.
