Playing catch up!

Do you often wish to yourself that you remembered something? Well I try to remember too much. I am one to remember those little things. If you asked me what clothes I had on at a certain occassion I may be able to tell you. My family sometimes is shocked that I remember the little details. Hey what can I say I love to know. I found a journal the other day that I started when Stevie was a few months old. I only wrote in it for a few weeks if even that then I seen where I went back and tried to catch up on things. I always kept a calendar in the kitchen so when I was fixing supper or whatever I would go over to it and jot down a few things about the day/week. I have several calendars with his milestones on them. I slacked though when we moved in with my inlaws. I had a pregnancy calendar through out my pregnancy with Scarlett but thats not even caught up. I feel so bad because there are things that are getting away from me. I guess as you get older you tend to lose memory. Well this was one of my reasons for scrapbooking. I love to play with paper even when I was small I would have to always do something with paper. I take tons of pics through out the week but where is the journaling? Sure it comes back to me when I see the pics but its not as in depth as it could be. I was asking my mom about pics of me when I was Scarletts age. Well to my surprise there are NOT that many. What?? I was so upset. WHY? Well it seems to be that when you have your 2nd child you don't really have time to do all the stuff you did when you only had 1. I thought yeah right I can do it. WRONG! I may be taking pictures of her but where is her milestones??? WHere is the stuff we do every week? I have forgotten alot. I try to keep receipts and appointment cards to help me remember but what about special get togethers? You know the ones not celebrating anything but family togetherness... Well from here on out I challenge myself to keep up with this blog better and to write at least alittle line everyday about the day or future plans. Hey I wish I could remember when I was 4 or 4 months. My kids may thank me one day for the little stuff. So below is a little "catch up". I hope I can remember things......

August 20th: Scarlett 4 months old. Had checkup today. And 4 shots. Stevie started soccer practice. We went to Sports Seasons and bought him a water bottle and green soccer shorts. Green is his fav color too.

August 21st: I got put on part time at work. I was also so pissy about this. I went to Walmart and got Scar some baby food. Started her on sweet potatos.

Soccer practice is every Monday and Thursday.

August 26th: My Mom and Dad came over for supper. Scar is loving sweet potatos.

August 31st: Granny found out that the lump in her other breast is cancer: Yet again! (she just recently had surgery for colon cancer and a year of so ago had breast cancer in the other breast. Had surgery and had part of the breast removed.)
Oh we got a Nintendo Wii:) We went to lunch with Steven at Pizza Hut. THen for supper went to Don Panchos. Stevie finally got his 1st pair of cowboy boots.

September 1st: Annual BBQ at the community center. We picked Steph up from Midas so she could get her car worked on. We watched Izzy while Jeremy and Amy took Emma dove hunting. Emma and Amy got too hot and came to the house to stay for awhile. We played Wii. Stevie rode with Amy and Emma to pick Jeremy up.

September 2nd: I got to scrapbook as much as I wanted to. I got 11 pages done. :)
We went to Academy sports to find some camo for T but they do not sell kids camo. That sucks but Target had some to our surprise. Went home more scrapbooking!!YIPPEEEE! Scarlett ate 3 jars of baby food today. Slept for 6 hours straight!!

September 3rd: Stevie went dove hunting with Jeremy and Emma. Labor Day Holiday. My Mom adn Dad came to the house as well as Amy and Jeremy and we grilled burgers. I had to go to work. :(

September 4th: Soccer practice today instead of the holiday. I was grumpy not much sleep at all today. Found out that T has practice on Friday and his first 2 games on Saturday. Pictures are Monday at 6pm. Steph and Bobby went to Florida today.

September 5th: Today was kind of secretly sad. Do you know why? It was Granny Farmers birthday. She passed away in 1995. SHe would have been 107 years old today. I miss her so much. Steph called they are having fun. Seen alligators and sting rays. Steven is sick. I think a sinus infection. He goes to the doc on Friday.

September 6th: Steven stayed home he was sick. I got some sleep. Scarlett is being fussy bucket. She had cereal with peaches for supper and 4oz. of milk.
Steven took T to buy a new Wii game. Carnival games. I have been wanting this forever. It looks fun and is easy for T to do. My Mom called and said that Granny's surgery is set for next Wednesday at 9am.

OK All caught up some??
Today is September 7th: I am at work its 3:34am. I am cleaning today and *hope* to scrapbook some. T has practice this afternoon and I need to go to Wal-mart to get water and stuff for the games tomorrow. Emma has 2 games too. We may be there for awhile.
OK long enough. Bye for now.
