Back from hiatus!!

Did you think I was never coming back? I just needed to take a little break and give my kids a little attention. I am glad to be back. I am a very random person so I hope I don't bug ya by how I have random posts that have random info in them. So just a little run down of whats been going on here. We have all been battling the winter sicknesses. Icky colds and the flu. Keo had his first trip to the hospital. He was throwing up and could not keep any food down. But it all went good and he is healthy again. Here is a pic of the little guy in the hospital. He was so good despite having all the IVs and stuff. (bad pic, camera phone)

Cole and I also had the pukey sick thing too - not fun. Ky and Cole are ready for summer, me tooooo! Krue is talking so much now. He is a little parrot, coping everything you say. So cute! And Keo is starting to army crawl. Everyone is doing good!

I do need throw out a thank you to someone who helped me the other day. I don't know her name, but I appreciated her so much. The story goes ... I got up and I could tell it was just a bad day. Previously I learned that my kitchen sink was leaking, my babies crib was recalled, my washer broke and on top of that it also had a recall. So these things were just building. Anyway I took the kids to preschool and then I ran to the bank. I needed a few grocery's so that is where I was headed. As I pulled out of the bank parking lot I felt the car kinda jerk and right then I knew it ---- I ran out of gas. I am such a dork! So I sat there. Chris was in a meeting so I didn't even try to call him. His Mom was in town so I tried to call her but no luck. So I just sat and waited for her to call me back. 500 cars past me and then a lady finally stopped. She asked if I need help and I got teary eyed and said "I ran out of gas" (sob, sob) She then said she would go get me some gas. By the way the gas station was just around the corner. She came back and helped me fill the tank and I tried to give her money but she just said "no, just pass it on and help someone else" then I cried a little more and gave her a hug and she was on her way. I went to the gas station to fill the rest of the car up and then made it just in time to pick the kids up from preschool. As I was driving, I was kinda sobbing and laughing at myself at the same time. Don't let things get to ya, it's better if ya just laugh. Anyway THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to this lady, who ever she was.

Erin, I am happy you are back! I have missed your posts. Although, I totally understand. I loved your story although it made me wish I could have helped you and it made me sad but grateful that there are still good people out there. I love the pictures of Krue what a cute funny little boy :)

The sweetest thing about Keo is that he is such a smiling & happy boy. I am sorry about you running out of gas! Please call me next time.

I'm happy you're back to blogging!!! It's the only way I know what you're doing in life!!
That story made me cry a little... it's nice to know there is still good in the world. If I didn't like 500 miles away I'd say you should call me... but your mom probably would have called you back before I got there. LOL
