So...I have decided to go ahead with that friends cut I mentioned the other day! So the following people are people that never comment on my journal or vice versa! & when I say never that's exactly what I mean. So I don't see the point anymore. So yeah...the list is as follows!

So that's that.



Cole's eye looks about the same this morning!!! Doesn't seem to be itching him so badly so maybe those drops are doing good. I have successfully got drops in once this morning...but he didn't get up til 10 and it's only 11:40 so yeah...we're doing pretty good. I will be packing all day for our beach trip this weekend. We are leaving at 8am so I won't have any time to do it tomorrow. And I don't want to have to worry about it tonight after class...so I will just do it today!!!! I am so looking forward to just going down there and hanging out with the boys!!!!!!!!!! I hope it's as drama free as possible!!!

Ok well I am gonna get off of here and be more productive. Have a great Thursday you guys!!! ♥

♥ I've got the best friends in the world! I love you guys! ♥

I am so so tired! Just been a long day!

Buttt I got GREAT news! We are going tomorrow to put a bid in on a house! 3 bedrooms 2 full baths! We went and looked at it yesterday and it needs a bit of work, but definately very cute! I am so so excited! Hopefully we won't get outbid! *Wish Us Luck!* If so then the hunt is still on!

2nd good news is my mom is coming up this weekend to spend the weekend here in Md with us! :-) I love having her up here! It's always a good good time!

Ok well I am gonna go do a lil relaxing while I can! Hope you all are having a great week! I will update more later I promise...I'm just too tired to think right now!

XoXo!

Didn't do much at all yesterday...yep pretty much just Lazy Bums! It felt nice though! All 4 of us took a nap at the sametime all snuggled up together! Chase of course was on Mike's chest...that's his new favorite place to sleep! Can't say that I blame him though, I love to sleep there too! But Cole & I were snuggled up beside them, it felt nice for all of us there together! Cole actually slept for awhile...so when Mike's Dad got home he stayed with Cole & Mike & I put Chase in the stroller and walked to the grocery store! It's only like 2 blocks away down on the corner! It was a nice walk though! However, when we got our groceries it was a good thing Cole wasn't with us b/c one of us would have been carrying all those groceries back & we bought a watermelon! We ate Taco's for dinner & Cole with his big boy self ended up eating 2! I was shocked! Then Mike's sis & niece Amber came over and visited for awhile! It was nice! Then after they left I came upstairs and called Ma Dukes...confirmed she would watch the boys for me, and booked our trip the weekend of the 29th! We are going to Williamsburg Va and maybe going to Busch Gardens! Even if we don't though it's cool cuz Williamsburg is a very nice place! I am so excited! We were gonna stay at a Bed & Breakfast but they were all like $240 a night...yeah right! That won't ever happen! Especially since I am only going to be sleeping there! So we just got a hotel room! Can't wait! :-)

Ok well Cole just woke up so we are gonna spend some time outside cuz it's B*E*A*utiful! And then at 1:30 I go register for my classes! Woo Hoo! I hope you guys have as good of a Monday as possible! Loves & Hugs!

P.S. Nicole don't know if you got my comment or not but I need your home address, we bought your Baby Girl some clothes and I want to send them to you! So if you can email me with your address! :-) Thanks!

We took the boys to the Smithsonian National Zoo yesterday! It was very nice...and it's free which made it that much nicer! It's in a kick ass part of D.C. that had some of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen! If you live nearby & you get the chance to check the zoo out you should...it's worth it!

Ok so you wanna talk about God saving my butt yesterday! So here is how this story goes...we get to the zoo right, and I accidently lock my door before unlocking Cole's and getting him out...so I reach into Mike's pocket and grab the keys unlock my door and then I just put the keys right in my purse (along with my set of keys I must add!!) So we get the *NEW* double stroller out, which totally rocked, and we get the boys all set with the diaper bag under the stroller and Mike says to me, "Why don't you just leave your purse in the trunk! Dum Dum Dum...and stupid Ivey, not thinking about what I did 5 minutes earlier says, "Yeah, I probably should so I won't have to worry about it!" And in the trunk it goes! Ok so we spend a great day at the zoo right, and about 5:30ish it starts thundering and lightening and we are like we must get to the car ASAP b/c it's about to down pour and we knew the boys wouldn't be able to stand the storm that was about to hit us...especially little Chase! So we book it to the car...about a mile or so walk! And we get there and Mike's like, "Hey Babe, You got the keys?!" And I say, "Yeah, Check the diaper bag!" & then it hits me...OMG they are in my purse! And just as I say this the first raindrop hits! And I am about to start crying cuz we are like 45 minutes from home...but either way BOTH sets of keys are in my purse in the trunk! So what do I start doing...I start to pray my butt off! I'm like "Lord you see me standing here with this 2 month old in my arms and poor Cole in that stroller scared to death of this thunder and lightening please Lord tell me what to do to protect my babies! Ok so I must add that I am standing on the driver side of the door and Mike is at the trunk just looking at me like "Yeah you screwed up this time!" So I am about to start crying right, but all the while still praying & I glance in the car over to my door...the passanger side and low & behold my door is unlocked! I NEVER leave my doors unlocked...and all 3 of the other doors are locked tight...and I start yelling, "MY DOORS UNLOCKED...MY DOORS UNLOCKED!" So I climb in, still with Chase in my arms, and I reach over pull the handle to pop the trunk & their tucked inside my purse is both set of keys! And just as I get the boys strapped safely in their carseats...the bottom drops out & it rains heavily for an hour! I cried I was so thankful to the Lord for saving my butt! If you don't believe in that stuff then I'm sorry! But I tell you, He hasn't let me down yet, and there is NO shame in my game when it comes to thanking the Lord for his blessings!!! AMEN!

So yeah, I must go blow dry my hair now, but I just had to share that with you guys! And P.S. I got pics of us from the Zoo coming soon!

~Smooches!~

Well Cole & I have been sitting at our window for about the past 45 minutes watching Mike cut grass in the neighborhood! It was so cute to watch him get so excited about it! Mike has a velkie, which means he stands on the back of the mower and rides it...it looks so fun but I would be scared to death to drive that thing! Especially in such tight places that he takes it! I love it when he cuts grass in our neighborhood cuz then Cole gets to see what I mean when I tell him he is at work!

We have to run to the bank in a few and refill the vault! Chase is sound asleep and I think I am gonna throw Cole in the tub really fast like cuz he got chocolate all over his face from his coco pebbles this morning! Not the most healthy cereals I know, but it was all that was down there that he would eat! HaHa!

Ok well I hope you guys have a great T*G*I*F! I will probably update more later when I have more time!

~Smooches!~

I feel so blah today! And it's not b/c I didn't get good sleep cuz sweet Baby Chase let me sleep til 6am before he was ready to eat! I was so thankful for that and so shocked! He is up to a big ol' 10 lbs. and he is 22 inches long! He did so good at his appointment til she gave him his 3 shots and then he turned about 3 different shades of purple! Poor baby! He ran a fever for about 12 hours which Dr. Gregory said he could do to up to 24 hours! I felt so sorry for him! But he is snoozing away now, so I think he is feeling much better!

I don't know why I feel so weird today! Mike & I had a good day yesterday, we found another house we really want and I think his dad is gonna help up get it! I am hoping and praying atleast! If not then we will be renting an apartment and neither of us really want to do that...so we will see I guess! I think that's my whole problem! I am ready for things to be settled down and more stable for my boys! And I want to be in Maryland for good! I feel so much better when I am here with Mike on a daily basis! I hate the whole Long Distance thing...it sucks! And I go Monday to register for my classes and I don't even know where I am gonna be staying! Yeah, just all so much stress at one time! We will get thru it though I know! And in the end we will be stronger than ever! I'm just ready to get thru it all!

Ok I am watching Newlyweds and Nick & Jessica don't get along very well at all! I mean they seem to really really get on each other's nerves! I sometimes wonder if they film it in such a way to make it seem worse than it really is b/c if Mike & myself were like this I don't know how long we would be together! It's good for TV though! HaHa

Mike & My 2 year anniversary is on the 29th of this month! Last year we went to Nassau, Bahamas! This year we are gonna go to a bed & breakfast in Va I think! Or maybe Annapolis! I am not sure yet! I need to actually get online and research that...so maybe I will do that when I get done posting this, since Chase is napping and Cole is playing with his Uncle Phillip!

It sprinkled a lil earlier but it's just cloudy now! We are taking Cole & Chase to the National Zoo in DC this weekend! It's gonna be good times! :-) I love doing stuff like that with my boys...especially Cole cuz he gets so excited over it! I love it!

Ok well I'm gonna go look up some stuff online while my boys are occupied! I hope you all have a great Thursday...one more day and it's TGIF!

Loves & Hugs!

Happy Birthday Mikey Baby!

 

I Love You! And I Hope

You Have A Great Day!

 

I Look Forward To Many

More Birthdays With You!

 

XoXo!

Well I had an excellent Mother's Day! I got a heart tin with 3 candles in it and I got a pewter photo album and on the front engraved is Happy Mother's Day Love, Mike, Cole & Chase May 8th, 2005! It was really sweet! We went to church with my grandmother and mother and then we came back to my grandmothers house for some good eats!

The March of Dimes walk was absolutely amazing! So many people came up and talked to me b/c of my posters and the boys shirts! I even got interviewed by the news! It was really cool! There was 4000 people walking that day....and it was SOOO pretty outside! The walk didn't even feel like 3.1 miles! And I was even pulling Cole behind me so i was pulling 30lbs. up and down hills! It felt good to excerise like that! I'm pretty out of shape! So I think I am gonna start walking more often! Anywho, it was a great great day! And I will definately be doing it next year! We got bracelletes like the "Livestrong" ones but they are blue and pink and they say Saving Babies on them! All the proceeds go to MOD so I thought it was nice!

Ok well I'm gonna go...I just bought a double stroller (it was only $89 at Target so I had to get it) and I got to put it together! I hope you all had a great mother's day! :-)

Lots of luvs & kisses!

~Ivey!~

Yay Yay Yay I LOVE my new Icon...thank you rainbowslut !!!! It makes me all smiles!

Mike's on his way down! :-D I Heart Him! Things are good...the living issue is not yet resolved, but we will get there I guess! Cole is visiting his grandfather and Chase is napping so I'm bored!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I have my march of dimes walk tomorrow and I've finished Cole's poster and shirt now I must work on Chase's! I just made some homemade rice krispie treats and they are yummy yummy! My ex's (Cole's Dad)...well his ex Kelly gave me my last $25 for my donations for my walk! How random is that! But super sweet! I think she's awesome for multiple reasons but the main one being I hate girls that can't let go of things in the past! Like she could totally hate me and vice versa but she and I both know that our lives with him were at 2 different times and we have no reason to be jealous of each other! She dated him way before I ever knew him so why would I dislike her! Believe me I have had some girls that totally didn't like me b/c I once dated their guy! Oh get over it...it obviously wasn't anything special or meant to be b/c we are no longer together! I hate petty girls!!! And petty guys for that matter!! Anyway...I'm just rambling! My point is I thought it was super sweet of her to do that! She's a nice girl! He should go back out with her! HaHa I don't think she would take him back actually! But that's a whole nother story and not really my bizzznass! Anywho

I'm gonna go work on Chase's poster for a bit!

Have a great weekend!

I'll take blue I guess...but I was hoping for purple!

Mike & I got in an argument last night & I said somethings I totally should not have said! We were arguing about us not being able to move up there for awhile & it's so frustrating! He wants us to move back in with his dad and I just really don't want to do that! I don't want to move the boys once & then 6 months from now, or whenever, have to move them again! And I kinda feel like he isn't really trying to move us up there, like he isn't looking for some place other than his dad's and it frustrates me so badly! I know it frustrates him too...but we are just looking at things from to totally different perspectives and it sucks! Like we totally have to get on the same page about this! We are better now, I called him and apologized for the things I said last night b/c I was totally unnecessarily mean! I can do that...shocking I know! ;-) But he forgave me! And we are much better now, but the issue of where we are gonna live and if I will be spending the summer in NC has not been resolved yet so I'm sure at some point I will be telling you we argued about it again! It's just the type of thing that you HAVE to work out b/c it's not something that is gonna go away on it's on! I mean we are talking about where the boys & I are gonna be living here...I doubt this problem resolves itself! I'm just really ready to see him tomorrow! I hope it pores it's a$$ off tomorrow in Maryland so he can't work and will have to come here earlier than he is planning to! :-) I know that's bad to say, and I totally don't mind him working if I see him every evening! But when I haven't seen him all week than I totally just am like, ok don't work and get your butt down here! HaHa I'm selfish...oh well!

It's gonna be in the 80's next week here! I may take Cole to the beach for the day! Dunno yet, depends on if I can get my grandmother to watch Chase for me! We will see!!!

I got their t~shirts and paint so I can make their shirts for Saturday! I don't know if I mentioned it before but Melanie gave me the idea of taking the boys (Cole in his wagon & Chase in the stroller) and decorating them saying how much they weighed when they were born and put pics up of them as tiny little babies and then I'm gonna make them shirts that say "& Look At Me Now!" Since the walk is for the research of preemature babies I think it will be cute! :-) I'm looking forward to the walk...Mike's gonna do it with us even though he didn't register to! My mom is having problems with her knee so he may just walk in her place...but we will see!

Ok well while Cole takes a bath and Chase naps I'm gonna go work on their stuff! 1 more day and it will be T*G*I*F! Can you guys make it?!?! I hope I can!

Loves & Loves!

Cole said that to me this morning...I thought it was dern cute! :-)

Chase did much better sleeping last night! He only woke up 2 times...once at 1 and once at 5:30! So I guess he is back to his normal self! I guess night before last he just had a tummy ache or maybe he just wasn't getting full enough to sleep soundly! I dunno!

I think Mike & I should go on Couple's Fear Factor! We would rock that s*%t for sure! :-) Probably not though cuz Mike is afraid of heights and I don't do anything involving bugs! Call me a girly girl or whatever you feel necessary...I just wouldn't put a bug in my mouth! EXCEPT maybe for $50,000! I mean come on now...

Chase is laying on the couch just looking around like the rock star he is! Cole is taking a much needed nap! He has hit his winey phase and it's just about enough to make me pull out my hair! But I'm coping...I mean really what choice do I have!

Ok so this was a completely random and pointless post! I hope you are all having a fabulous Humpdiddy Hump Day!

Loves & Stuff!
