9.11

I called my mom crying, expecting her to make it all better. Moms can do that you know.

Went on the 13th to donate blood only to find out it was a 4 hour wait and Cody needed to eat dinner soon, so I had to go back a different day.

Remember thinking the hospitals are waiting for the injured, but no ambulances are showing up with them.

flier after flier of the missing loved ones. Moms, Dads, Sisters, Brothers, Sons, Daughters, Husbands, and wives. Gone.

Hero's, so many hero's. Humans loving humans.

Our little Farm

Here are the animals we recently added to our family. Of course if you are on my FB you all ready know this.

This is Marie. Im hoping she gets pg in November and once she has baby we will have milk, cheese, yogurt...

This is Chivas (goat in spanish) he is Marie's husband to be ;)

Next, say hello to Dinner. Really, his name is dinner. He will be our turkey on Thanksgiving.

Here is one of our roosters hanging with Dinner. Remember the chicks we got. Only 2 of the Rhode Island Reds ended up being hens. The rest were roosters. This guy was a late bloomer, I had actually thought he was a hen because the other roosters were VERY obviously roosters, him... not so much. Surprisingly I did not name the chickens. The Bantams are doing good, small, not really what i needed. They are pretty, but I want hardy egg layers.

Part of K's costume

Kaitlen is going to be a bumble bee for Halloween (her BFF is going to be a daisy) So this is what i have so far. Her knee high socks, and i made her a yellow tutu and instead of alternating black and yellow i did it all yellow and tied some black tulle through out it.

Here it is from underneath.

The other kids are going to be:
Abigail- Minnie Mouse
Matthew- The Hulk
Cody- Van Helsing (you'll just have to look it up)
Thomas- he's on his own this year.

Cheer

The pics are backwards, but o'well. This was their performance to Wipe out. They are in the middle of a shimmy.

The girls took, group and individual pics. We get them at the game when they perform for our town.

Abbie was light brown, then red haired and now she is blonde.

♥Lisa♥

chipped tooth

Kaitlen chipped her left front tooth when she was swimming under water. Her eyes were closed and she hit the step. You can see it's just the inside corner and I think her teeth are so young that they still have all those bumps to smooth out so it really won't be noticeable when she is older, but still I'll have her dentist tell me that instead of me assuming, lol.

♥Lisa♥

Today at Cheer camp

Today I finally remembered to bring my camera to cheer. Today was crazy hair day so I put many ponytails in Kaitlens hair :)

Kaitlen and Jasmine

Jasmine, Kaitlen and Meme- In 10 years they will be such trouble.

BFF

J, K, B, & M

K's hair

Toward the end, the fire alarm went of at the school and we had to exit the building.

So they did some chants and fun stuff

The young ones were actually practicing.

We got to go back in. There was no fire. People were doing work in a different area of the building and they think that's what set it off.

♥Lisa♥

1st day of cheer camp

Today kaitlen and her BFF Jasmine went to cheer camp. They ran into their other BFF Meme (in the yellow shirt by the wall) They had a blast. It was too cute.



♥Lisa♥

Logans cape!

So it's about 2 weeks late and have had this plan in my head for almost a yr?? but here it is. Now in the pic you can totally tell i got black fabric from 2 different lots!!! but it doesn't look that noticeable in real life, just on pictures, grrrr. The red also isn't as bright as it is in the pics.
Secret pockets on the inside :)

Michael Speicher will be coming home!

They have finally found the remains of Capt. Michael Speicher. I've mentioned him before when Matt Maupin's remains were found. God Bless the families who are no doubt going through a lot of emotions.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Walk in NWA

Hi Everyone, I am sending out this email to everyone in my email address book. I know some of you are my Ebay transaction emails, but for anyone that does not want to revieve any further updates on the walk just let me know. Thank you.

 

I am organizing a walk for childhood cancer awareness. I have started a website called k9sloveforkids.com and it'll give you more information. It's a dog walk at Prairie Grove battle field and the more dogs the better. September is Childhood cancer awareness month and the ribbon is a gold ribbon. Not many people know this and I want the word about pediatric cancer to get out there. I have attached a flier about the event. I am hoping to add more sponsors soon. The walk is Sept 12th and I know it gives us little time, but I know it can be done.

 

Thanks for your support and I really hope to see you at the walk.

 

Lisa Velasco

 

 

Childhood cancer awareness walk

I am organizing a childhood cancer awareness walk in our area. It's called K9's love for kids because a child's and an animals love to each other are amazing. If you live in our area pack up your pooch and head on over to the walk on Sept 12th, 2009. The money raising part comes from a registration fee of 5$ for each dog (bring lots of dogs!!) Humans walk for free :) So far Arvest Bank is supplying 200 hot dogs and I am hoping to add several more sponsors to the bottom of the flier.
I have a website set up too. www.k9sloveforkids.com. You can register for the walk online or the morning of the walk at the park.

100% of all the money raised will go to juliansworld.org. I know you all know King Juju.

Krimsin's 2cents, reviews & giveaways- uncubicled

Krimsin is having her first giveaway and it is for a signed copy of the book uncubicled. She has read the book on her kindle2 and did a review about it on her blog and now you have a chance to win a copy for yourself. I'm really hoping I win because sometimes I really need to get away from my kids go into my own little world and reading does that for me.

We got a free piano

It needs some TLC and it needs to be tuned, but it works fine. I am so addicted to the free section on craigslist (yes, i know CL is dangerous), it is crazy what people will give away. They had no room for it and were sick of looking at it in their garage. It is in our garage until we get it fixed up and find a better way to move it up the porch steps into the house. It weighs a ton.

This was in our car.

This is just a still pic from the internet. We had to go (needed to go) to both church services (kids had performances) so I got everyone ready and out the door with 15 minutes to get there. All the kids were in the car and i tossed my purse into the passenger seat and started the car. A ginormous spider crawled over my purse and down to the floor board.

AACK! I had ZERO time to get the thing out, so we drove to church with it in our car. Kaitlen cried the whole way and she never saw the spider. Poor thing. After the first service and when the kids went to Sunday school i went to the car with a couple from our church (Both Fay Officers) and the husband got it out of my car and I video taped it. i thought it was a juvenile tarantula but it ended up being a Dark Fishing Spider.
Don't worry, I'm reading your mind. How did it get into the car??? WELL, yesterday Ben took the Double Jogger out of the garage and put it in the car because we were going to the mall. It crawled out of the jogger at some point and made its way all the way to the front of the burb, lol. to MY seat. Boy am I glad that Ben didn't go to church today and stayed with sleeping abbie because I would have sat right on that sucker.

Little Pip

Cody asked if he could have a guinea pig for his birthday and I said yes, piggies actually like company so it's a really good thing. Cody got an early bday present and got Pip today.

as you can see Pip is much smaller than Bugsy/bullet/sniper

and yes, Kaitlen wants a guinea pig too.

Random Pics

Here are a couple different pics.

Here Matthew hit his head and got a nice bump. He didn't cry because it didn't bleed. Had it bled, he'd of screamed bloody murder.

Here Thomas took a couple pics. One is a tiny praying mantis on his thumb.

The other two are from the sun setting a couple nights ago.

You can click on the pics to make them bigger.

Matthew's early Bday gift

Since we cant really hide him for 3 weeks. He got a guinea pig. He at first named him Sniper, but the kids talked him into calling him Bugsy. (Then it dawned on me they go Bugsy from the movie Bedtime Stories)

now they are calling him Bullet because he is so fast.

Spotlight Sunday

My Spotlight Sunday was intended for blogs, websites that I have come across that I really like. Last week you remember I spotlighted Enchanted Dandelions, because I love what she does and what she is all about. She has obviously put a lot of time and effort into making her business and bringing it to wear it is today. WELL, I am Spotlighting someone who flippin stole April's (enchanted Dandelions) pictures from her Etsy site and posted them as her OWN!!
It is Chic to Cheek and she is on Facebook
Remember that ladybug diaper cake from my blog from last week??? Yeah, she claimed it as her own and Not Aprils. And you'll recognize the other diaper cakes as Aprils from her Etsy shop.

This is another site of the thief.

What little Miss thief doesn't realize is she just completely ended her little online 'career' because other blogs can make you or break you and with what she just did she will be black balled. She has other pics on her site of craftiness she claims as hers and I bet it is not. It's very creepy to think there are people like that out their and I'm sorry this happened to April for us to see it. April has filed a Notice of Intellectual Property Infringement via Facebook, so hopefully Facebook will step in too.

Sunday Spotlight:
Yea April, boo stupid thief.
