Life's curve balls!

I really should not be surprised when I get a curve ball but sometime it we really can not see it coming.

Last night at supper I realized that tomorrow for the first(or at least a very long) time I was going to be in the house with no kids or hubby.  Josiah started preschool on Wednesday, the girls would be in school and Kevin would be working.  I was contemplating what I would do for the few short 3hrs I would have.  Clean, sleep, do some digital scrap-booking, paper work, organizing for our upcoming move, or just park my butt in front of the TV?  

Well at 3am my decision was made for me as I a sound I dread hearing!  Can you guess? Well it was the sound of vomit!  I put on my glasses and ran down the hall to find Kira on the toilet with a pill on the floor, I quickly reach for the trash and she proceed to fill it!   After helping her clean up, change and get back to bed, I cleaned up, sanitized, & started a load of laundry all the while realizing that I was not going to be a lone! 

Don't get me wrong I love hanging out with my kiddo's individually, and I am cherishing the time I have while they still want to just sit and read when they are home sick and not hid in their room on a phone or computer!

So I better get back to my baby(OK 7yr old) who seems to be rebounding very well!

My House is complete once again!

The girls made it home safe and sound last night. It was so fun to see their smiles and hear all the stories. There was not a quite moment on the 1 1/2 car ride home.

I think Josiah missed them just a little bit!

Never a quite moment!

Kira wanted to make sure that we had an exciting weekend. It all started Saturday morning when we took a trip to the park. It was beautiful, nice and cool with a breeze. All kids were happy, even one of Kira's friend were at the park. She is our little adventure and wanted to try the monkey bars. First time she dropped down just fine, well needless to say the second time was not so graceful. She fell and put her arm down to stopper her self. This is when if there was sound I would insert a blood curdling scream!
Long story short, after a stop at the fire station and three firemen making a make shift splint out of cardboard and duck tape! Kira and I headed to Urgent care where x-ray's were taken and it was determined she has a buckle fracture to her left forearm.We left urgent care with a splint and a sling, and were told to come back on Monday for a cast. Kira got lots of attention at home, church & school. Now we have a bright pink cast to match our bright personality! ALL is well!

Worth the wait!

Ever have one of those pages you just keep putting off because you are waiting for just the right inspiration, or embellishments? Well this is one of those pages for me. I don't like skipping spreads but sometime you just have to.

Juicy Juice

Thanks to the great folks at House Party, I was able to have another party. This one was sponsored by Juicy Juice. We had a wonderful play date where I was able to share Juicy Juice's newest juice. They have no added sugar, no artificial flavors or Preservative and come in a really cool 33.8 oz container. There is Juicy Juice Immunity with Vitamin C and Zinc to help support immune systems and prebiotic fiber for healthy digestions. The other is Juicy Juice Brain Development with DHA.

We got to try the apple, berry, & grape. They were all very good, but we were all surprised by how good the grape ones. One of the mom's who came said she was not much of a juice drinker, and really did not care for grape juice as it tastes like cough medicine. I convinced her to try the Juicy Juice and she loved it, she was sold, she said it had a very nice mild favor.

Beside the wonderful Juice we were also given a water bottle, re-usable shopping bag! We need to take care of God's beautiful nature any way we can right? We also received a fun growth cart to keep track of how fast our kiddos are growing, coupons for more juice now that we are all excited to go our and buy some. The kids got a coloring book and a small deck of cards! Both great brain activities :)

All in all we had a fantastic afternoon. I encourage you to give the the new Juicy Juice a try, you won't be disappointed. Also if you have not looked around the House Party website do so. It is a great way and reason to get your friends together!

Vacation!

This was our day at the Zoo. It rained for the first half of the day but then the sun came out and dried us out! Even in the rain we had a great time, just not as many pictures.

Monday Mommy Moments

Yes a Mommy Moment! It is more of a wordless Wednesday but a totally Mommy moment as well and I wanted to share it with you.

Thank you to Jessica at Headlines Salon and Spa for a great opportunity and hair cut.

He's Home!

Well it is official! Kevin is back home with us. It was a late night last night as he did not get to base until almost midnight. The kids did great, I woke them up and we drove to base, picked Kevin up and came home and they all went right back to sleep. Here are a few picture from last night while we waited in the car and the first hugs!

Mommy Moment

I know it is not Monday and I have not done a Mommy Moment in a long time but I have to share this before I forget it!

Kira and I listen to the FISH radio station just about every morning on the way to school. Part of the morning show is a segment call Junior Joker, where kids tell jokes. Anyway it was a joke about Noah this morning. Kira has a sense of humor but some of them I have to explain a little, this morning being one of them. So as we were talking about Noah and how he took two of every animal on the Ark with him, like two worms, two birds, two elephant, and so on. Kira says "yeah I know mom and he took two of those bad snakes, the sinning snakes, I saw it on in my bible!"

You have to love your kids and how their little brains work! Thanks Kira for a great start to my day!

SICK

It has been a crazy few days on our house. The kids were off from school on Monday so they came with me to walk in the Mall. (Walking in the Mall is something I do at least 3 days a week if not more, with some of my friends) The morning started early with kids up early crying and complaining. I shrugged it all off as them being tired. Well I guess I should not have done that, we were about half way around our first loop when Cassie lost her breakfast all over the floor! The positive note for me was I did not have to clean it!

So it is now Tuesday night Cassie can just not shake the fever she got Monday evening. I feel bad for my kids when they are sick or hurt. I am the first to tell you that I am not a very sympathetic person. I am more of the shake it off you will be OK type of person. I try to be sympathetic but it is just not there.

As of bed time Cassie had a fever so it looks like it will be another day at home for me. Not only am I not sympathetic I also am a on the go type of person. So being at home for two days now and the thought of a third is enough to drive me crazy.

Our hope is that no more gets sick or if we do that we are all better my next week when Kevin is hopefully going to be home. Just what we need to all be sick or just getting over it and then Kevin get it.

So with that said please pray for my kids! oh and I suppose me too!

A Beautiful Afternoon

Pajama Sunday

There are just some days that you know it is just best to not leave your house! Today is one of those days in the Isenberger house. Between Josiah getting a mouth full of teeth all at the same time giving him a runny nose & cough to me being flat out tired! All added to the fact that it is not even 10am in the morning and Josiah has already had two "boo-boos" this morning. All confirming that it was an OK decision to have a "Pajama Sunday."

Boo boo #1 - Josiah forehead and lip found the edge of the coffee table.
Boo boo #2 - While snuggling on the couch with Mom, the side of Josiah head found my ring.

Always looking to save a penny or two!

I am doing some research on San Diego CA for a family vacation. We are hoping to take a long weekend and head south to San Diego. Being a Military family does have it perks at times. There are tons of opportunities for us to get in free or at a discounted rate to many of the fun things we hope to see while on vacation.

The main research I am doing is a place to stay. I can't decided if we want to just stay at a hotel or try to rent a condo of some short. Hotel may be cheaper per night, but if we rent a condo we have more space, a kitchen where we could do some cooking and packing of lunches. The question I keep asking myself is would we really use the kitchen, would we really cook, and pack the lunches? The condo would give us more space, possibly two bedrooms so kids could go to bed at a decent hour and Kevin and I could enjoy the evening together without going to bed at the same time as the kids, which usually ends up happening when we stay at a hotel.

Is your head spinning yet? Mine is! So if anyone has a favorite place they have stayed or heard of any fabulous deals, please let me know!

Video Message for Daddy!

You have to love technologies these day's. I am just learning all the wonderful thing that are available to me. I took a bunch of video clips during our Christmas this year and found this great site where I put them together for free. This was made for Kevin but I hope everyone enjoys it!

Cassie vs. the carpet!

Cassie had a battle with a floor at Grandma's church on Wednesday night.




I think the carpet won!

Mommy Moment

I know it has been awhile since I have posted a Mommy Moment, it has been a little crazy!
Onto the Mommy Moment;

Just the other night Kira woke up and was complaining about a scratch on her foot. She said that it really hurt and that the "brain" in her foot hurt!

How is the brain in your foot?
