Could you say that a little louder please???

DJ is still gone, so I had to take the girls to school this morning. I was rushing around, we got everything together and I needed to run in to Homeland and buy a few things. I was grabbing my things, and I had Lily and Addy following me. (To add a little history here, if my kid asks me a question, I give her an answer right then! It may not be the best answer, but I try to "tell her like it is".)

So we are walking down the aisle and she says "What do you need now?" I said, "some pads" (knowing she would continue, because we have talked about pads/periods before) I said "you know when a woman has a period she needs pads". Lily says "oh yeah, I will have a period when I am a woman too." Then as we are walking by the boy stocking the shelf she says "Mom are you wearing a pad now??"

Could you say that a little louder please?? I don't think the 80 year old man on aisle 4 heard you!

Remembering Grandma

Well with mother's day yesterday it's a good time to say thanks to my mom, Debbie, and my mother-in-law Debra (A.K.A. MiMi & GiGi)! What wonderful, Godly women. They both do so much to help me and my family, I can't imagine life without them.

It was, however, a rough Mother's Day weekend for Damon and his family. His grandmother Betty Johnson passed away on Tuesday evening. He and his parents flew out yesterday to be at the funeral today. Damon was very close to his grandparents, they lived in San Diego and were at every soccer, baseball, and football game he was in. Damon told a cute story of when he and his brother, Adam, went to their house to play. They were about 8 & 5, and grandma gave them foam rubber bats to play with it. It didn't take the "Johnson boys" long to figure out if you picked the rubber foam off, there were really cool hard metal sticks underneath. They were beating each other in the front yard with the sticks and grandma came out and grabbed them both by the arm and drug them in the house! Not much has changed with those two!

Betty was a wonderful caring woman, very artistic, great cook, fun grandma, and an overall joy to be around. She will be greatly missed!

Addy's Prayer

My sweet baby, Addy, is starting to say her own prayers at night. It's precious. This was her prayer last night (I will type it like she says it)....

Tank you foer Sissy, Mommy, Dadeee, GiGi, Dandpa, MiMi, Popeee, Tate, Caayleee. (At this point we thought she was done.)

Tank your foer gum...shoes....milk....jeeuice.....coke. Aaamen

What a blessing!

Soccer Awards

Lily had her soccer awards banquet last night (it was at CiCi's Pizza....but I told her it was a banquet!) She was so happy to get her trophy! (Yes folks, it's a medal, but she calls it a trophy! I don't know where she gets that from! )

Her and Callon are so cute! She loves that boy!

WOW!! Are we that excited about getting the medal that we need a congratulatory kiss? I don't think so. I knew those Proctor boys were up to no good!

OKAY, and here's the other brother...see that's the problem...she loves Canton too!!! One day she is going to marry Canton and then the next day it's Callon!!!!

She can't decide.

I pray that both my girls are blessed with Godly husbands who want them to be in Heaven!

Lilyism #485

I have no idea what number we are up to on the Lilyism's....too many to count!

We went to dinner Friday night, Damon and I shared a meal and the girls shared, so that means we get dessert! GREAT IDEA, right??? We got a chocolate lava cake with ice cream and fudge puring out of it! It rocked.

We're all 4 digging in. Addy has chocolate in her hair...it's a mess. Lily looks at all of us and then says, "We're eatin' this thing like wild animals!!"

I laughed so hard..................well I laughed after I finished licking the plate of course!

Immunization Battle

I had to take Addy yesterday for her 2 year check-up and shots, apparently I forgot her 18 month check-up so we had to get a shot for that too. (Punishing her for my poor parenting, so terrible!) So everything looks great, then the nurse comes back with her little plastic basket. Lily's eyes got big and she said "who's that for?" The nurse smiled and said, "your sister." Lily is such a sweet hearted child, she responds with "GREAT, can I have a sticker too?"

Addy is leery of the nurse and her little basket. She reluctantly lays back on the table, and we hand her a sucker. Now this is the point where Damon steps in to hold her down. Where is Damon? On a job. This is my first appointment where my child got shots and I was alone. His job has always been to hold them down. Then they scream, he kisses them once, and I get to come in and save the day and be the hero and take them away from all the pain. I had to be the enemy. I don't like being the enemy.

We walked out of the office with 3 Band-Aids (only needed 2, but ya know how that goes) and she saw a "copter" in the sky, so all was well.

On a side note they say if you double their height at 2, that is "supposedly" how tall they will be when they are grown. Addy's came to 5'9.5, and they looked back at Lily's chart and hers was 5'10....................... CRAP, my kids are going to be taller than me in like 3rd grade!
