Whose Bed Is It?

I was putting Isaiah down for his morning nap when Tigger (the cat) jumped into the crib. Tigger has been know to sleep in the cribs and the changing table frequently, but seldom (if ever) while the children were sleeping as well. Today, was the exception. He jumped right in with Isaiah and laid next to Isaiah's pillow. Ironically, Isaiah was a little put out. He moved to the far side of the crib. Never fear, Isaiah won out. Tigger left to hit his alternate sleeping place ~ Tyler's bed. (Tigger beware...)

Don't have more babies!

Do you currently only have one child?

Are you considering the addition of another child?

DON'T!!! Stop where you are at, thank God for your blessing, and pray that He will keep you happy with one child.

Why?

Think women! Who changes the pj's, the sheets, cleans the floor, cleans the toilet, washes the hands and faces of the children who puke?

YOU DO!

Run very far from your husband when he suggests more.

OK - whew. Got that off my mind. So, obviously we have some type of virus going around our home. All three boys have the stuff coming from both ends. Yep, I said it on the blog. Pretty gross ~ Sorry Larry.

You know, when it was just Ashley, it was ONE child getting sick. Now, it is THREE boys getting sick. I'm worn out. I won't tell you how many times I've changed the sheets in the cribs this week (or my clothes). Poor Ellie (my dog) even got puked on once. Now, Tim tells me he's not feeling well. He is as bad as all three boys together!

1st Dentist Visit

At the boys' one year check up, the pediatrician suggested I take the boys to the dentist. I figured that since it was time to take Tyler why not take all three? (Yep, I continually set myself up for this stuff. After a year, I should know better.)

Fortunately, my friend, Ms. Morgan, was able to go with us. She doesn't like it when I take her picture. Sorry, Morgan. You know me and my camera.

Ms. Morgan holding Isaiah. He hates sitting in the stroller, and all he had to do was wimper and Ms. Morgan would pick him up. She's such a sucker! Guess that's why we love her!

Aiden couldn't stop staring at the computer. It was full of very bright colors and he just loved it.

Here, Dr. Mitzi is explaining to Tyler that her gloves smell like grapes, and would he like her to open his new toothbrush? Doesn't it look like they are in a boat? Very cool office.

The experience was pleasant, but expensive. Tyler will continue with his six month checkups on a regular basis, but the twins will go every 12-18 months. The dentist was amazing with the kids, and her staff was very friendly. I think I scared them a little walking in with all of my kids. Thank goodness they had three hygenists that day! Enjoy the photos - check out the painting on the wall. The entire office is amazing. I was too shy to walk around taking photos! One exam room is all red/black/white Dr. Suess, another is Nemo, there is an arcade, internet, salt water fish tank, sports paraphenalia, and so much more. The orthodontist who owns the building, and has his practice there as well, hired a Disney painter to come in and do all of the painting. The orthodonture section is painted with BRIGHT - BOLD colors. Truly amazing.

Aiden went first. He has eight teeth with four coming in.

Next was Isaiah, he has 12 teeth with 4 coming in. We should call him chomper. His teeth are very crowded. he will need extractions. I can't wait.

Finally, it was Tyler's turn. He is at that age where he is very inquisitive. He talked to the Doc, looked at the computer, looked in the cabinets, looked at EVERYTHING he could before he got caught! He did a pretty good job of sitting still this visit. He wasn't ready to sit in the BIG chair yet, so we decided to wait until next time. (Looks like he's sitting in a boat, huh?)

Thanks for helping Ms. Morgan!

Random Photos While I'm Packing...

Shhh... don't tell Tim that I'm multi-tasking. I have a hard enough time getting things done when I'm totally on one task!

Up and Running!

Ashley with Whisper. Whisper is about 16 hours old here.

Holy Cow! I was coming to just give you an update about the picts at Shutterfly when my entire edit bar showed up again! Hip Hip Hurray!!! Pray that it lasts. Here are few quick random photos from last week.

Ashley with Coral. Coral was checking to see what Ashley was doing with the baby. She is very protective of her nephew. Look at how big this heifer is! Ashley has her spoiled ~ but beware ~ she HATES kids!

I posted the calf birth picts at the other site (Shutterfly). Beware, some are pretty gorey. But mom and baby are cute. I don't have day one picts up. I'm packing for Tennessee and running late. I will try to get picts up from last week before I leave.

Ashey and Isaiah taking a break from working/chores.

Aiden with Whisper. Isn't this too cute?

Tyler with Whisper. He (Tyler) is intrigued, but wary enough not to venture out alone. He has a healthy respect for the bovine species.

Ashley is a new mommy!

Ashley's little heifer birthed her first calf on Friday, March 6. Both mommy and baby are doing well. "Breezy" had a little bull calf. Ashley thinks she is going keep it a bull, but we will see. Since I still don't have an edit bar to upload picts, you will have to view them on shutterfly. Our official site at Shutterfly is rothfamily6.shutterfly.com I think. I will double check.

I have the entire birth in picts. It was definately a new experience. Sadly, Ashley was competing at the State FFA judging competition, and was not in town for the actual birth. She is totally bummed, but spent much of today petting him and getting to know him.

Still no edit bar

OK - I'm moving my blog. I started one at a photo publishing place. Keep watch...I will get you web address this weekend.

Twins are napping and Tyler (Stephan) is watching Nemo. I'm off for a much needed shower!

More on the Tyler-Stephan name issue...

Still plugging along...

Well, still don't have the edit bar and compose tab, but I seem to be able to send out messages.

So... for all of my family and friends who are still checking the site...

I've disconnected our land line to the house. The only person who uses our land line is my mom. Sshhh...no one tell her. Just kidding mom! So, use our cell numbers family and friends!

Still Working on it...

Tim listens to the local Christian radio station. He also listens to a lot of talk shows on the radio. Today, he came in to the computer room (aka: our bedroom) and announced that he heard on the radio that the internet causes stress for those who use it.
My distracted reply: "Huh? I can't figure this stupid thing out. I can't get my blog to work!"
He then says,"See. That is what they said on the radio. There is stress involved while on the internet because of the actions that are taking place, and there is stress because you feel as if you are always behind on your daily jobs."
My sarcastic biting reply: "Duh. I can't get anything done if I'm on the computer. Laundry Land will still be standing on top of our bed tonight. My fellow blog followers are dwindling because I'm not posting because this stupid blogger thing won't function properly." (Nope, not a Christian wife response. I'm struggling.) So... here I am.
Attempting to post soccer stuff, funny kid picts, and yep, even a picture of Laundry Land.
Yet, my blogger does not have my edit tool bar.
For this to post...I will have to exit all of my internet windows and restart.
On your mark, runners up, set, go...

Still Needing Help

Can you hear me screaming? My friend, S, lives in Newfoundland and she heard me. Thank goodness she was kind enough to email me some help. Unfortunately, I'm still not completely back to normal yet. I removed my "cute" template. I emptied my files. I deleted most of my third party widgets. Even this post is not allowing me to attach picts. When I go to blogger help - I can't find an email address to contact them. I can't find anyone else with this problem. Sometimes my blogger help menu is blank too. Does anyone else have suggestions?

Help me, please...

Is there anyone out there?

Am I still here?

Is my screan blank again?

Somebody please help me. I can now (sometimes) type on my blog, but don't have a full dashboard or edit space or whatever it is called to add picts. I took off my popup blocker. Someone please email me and tell me what is wrong!

I'm Here... Kinda

OK all of my blog followers. I'm not being obstinate or lazy - I just can't get ANY blogger blogs to come up on my computer. I'm not sure if it is my server, blogspot, or what? So... I'm testing this out on Ashley's computer - and so far - so good. It says that I can upload photos, but I don't have photos on her computer. Bear with me. I'm trying to work the kinks out. I wonder if this warrants a new computer? Ashley is on the same wireless server that I'm on. If hers works, but mine doesn't...

Hang in there...
