Where do the days go? It seems I am not doing good with this daily thing lately. I will try to get better. It seems people are dying left and right. WOW. I really hated a friend passed away the other day of a massive heart attack. Her family & friends will forever be sadden of this horrific loss.

She was a good person, I loved working with her, she would just tell you what needed to be done and well if it wasn't sorry about your luck, She could be funny and she could be a well you all know a boss. LOL. I have been waiting for a long time for Teresa's Pizza Barn to open up. I kept telling her let me know and I will be your first employee.

It seems God has a plan but we can't figure it out. He takes our family and friends away and wants us to be understanding. We can't help but ask Why numerous times after we lose a loved one.? Teresa is making her way in Heaven I can tell you that. She is probably up there sitting on a stool in God's kitchen getting ready to fix him the best Pizza around.

To the family of Teresa~ My deepest sympathy for your lose. She was a terrific person and all the people she has touch will remember her forever. May you find comfort in knowing she was loved by many others.

Now on a AJ note:
He seems to be getting more independent. He trys walking off the steps without help. Scares me to death, we have experienced a black eye, bloody nose and lip along with a swelled lip, scratches and cuts. it breaks my heart. I hate him playing or being so tough. Makes me nervous.

We took the bottle away last wednesday and its gone good so far. We have bought a potty chair and AJ lifts his shirt up and sits on it but he won't do anything. So hopefully it will go smoothly also.

WEll have to get things done. Love to you all.

Erica and AJ prom 2005

Its almost Friday. Hurray It seems the days are not nearly long enough. First yesterday was AJ's day 1 without the bottle. he did well when he went to bed. So hopefully it isn't going to be that big of a deal. He only took it at bedtime anyway.

What is a day without a bath? Couldn't tell ya, AJ makes sure he needs a bath atleast once a night I believe he tries for 2. He loves playing outside non-stop and screams when its time to go in. He's so big. You would have thought he skipped to age 5.

This Saturday is prom, I have a picture of AJ and Erica last year for Prom, I looked at it the other day and man was he small, not real small but smaller than now. Gosh time has flown.
Those of you with kids no what I am talking about. We have seriously thought about another. Time will tell.

It makes me sad he's not a baby and wants to be held and cuddled. Last night I asked him if he was going to give mommy and daddy kisses for bedtime, he shook his head no and layed down. LOL.

Friday is coming soon but not soon enough. I love spending the weekend with AJ, and I can't wait to take my vacation time. 1 week with him, I already have the week planned out and can't wait. Come on June. I am seriously going to get the pictures developed and I am going to take some of my professional pictures in his John Deere outfit he got for Christmas from his grandma and papaw.

Well, gotta go, but take care,.

Love to you all.

The Easter bunny has came and gone. I must say Saturday was a nice day and AJ got to play in his sand box, he had most of it in his hair, and he actually sat in it and covered his legs with it. He loved it, he got a bath and boy you should have seen the water, wow. Dirty, of course Brad had his brother in law's 4 wheeler in the garage so AJ had to help him work on it, grease everywhere, his hair, his feet (not sure how it got there he had shoes on).

He didn't really care about looking for eggs, since we still have 6 in our yard. LOL He liked his bubble mower, his pedal 3 wheeler, his rake, shovel, his big bouncy ball and he loved his candy.
I was fixing breakfast Sunday morning bacon and eggs, and AJ wanted his snicker egg, well we (Brad and I ) said no becuase breakfast was almost done, Brad came in the kitchen to get a drink we heard something turned around and AJ had the wrapper of and was eating his egg, he ate the whole thing, and wanted more.

Guess I will have to go see if they have more. I have pictures. I know you heard it before, But I really do I just need to have them printed and get them posted. I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Easter.

Love to you all,

Good Afternoon ,

Well it seems we are about ready for Easter. AJ loves to play outside but isn't interested in hunting easter eggs. He goes straight to his slide and sits on the end of the slide if noone comes to lift him up there. He tries climbing the slide but can't make it. I think for Easter there will be no baskets. I am looking for a bubble mower for him for Easter. Walmart and Kmart is sold out.
I have been looking forever. But with all the candy in the baskets I figure we can buy him some outside toys and he will like those much better.

He has been staying up till 10:00. Its killing me but he sleeps all night if he goes to bed at 10, so I suppose the 1 year old's bedtime is now 10.
Maybe he can start putting me to bed at 9:00.

The creature in the pond has not bothered the ducks. We have heard it was a turtle, A hawk, a owl, a weasel, a raccon, and a possom. Who is right I am taking a poll send me your money and I will tell you who wins. LOL Just joking. It works for those preachers on tv.

The weather is gorgeous. It makes me want to quit work and just play outsode all day. Like thats going to happen. Instead when I get home AJ and I stay outside till Brad gets home, then we end up staying outside till about 8 then we go in and fix supper get baths and go to bed.

He hates coming inside. Over the weekend, I cleaned the yard, and picked up all the trash that had blown around. We have a few more things to do in the front yard, we are also in the process of getting the flower beds changed. Different design and so forth. Not sure if we are going to plant more flowers or not. I'm afraid AJ will run them over with his Jeep or pull them out.

Well better go for now.
Love to you all,

It seems we have got a killer in our pond. We are pretty sure we have a turtle that ate our BELOVED Daffy. He flew to Heaven Saturday night sometime. Don't know what we are going to do to save the other 4 but we thought we got the turtle last summer but he must have a family in there.

This weekend brought wonderful weather on Saturday for an Easter Egg hunt. We took AJ to a church around town and I think he liked it but he doesn't have the concept of picking them up and putting them in the basket and moving on. I let AJ go to them and pick them up and find them, those parents were grabbing and running and their kids were just standing there. I was like wow, so AJ got 3 eggs, a few pieces of candy and a little game, he can't have cuase he will eat the pieces. Luke got alot of eggs, and candy which Brad and AJ are helping eat.

We got there early and stayed in the truck till closer to 11 and so Luke got to see most of the egg hiding. LOL. He got a shirt and its big enough for AJ. They had different age groups but I think they both had fun. Brad took us to eat Saturday night and then Sunday we were going to go to the school for an easter egg hunt but the weather was so beautiful and nice we decided that we wasn't going. We mowed, weedeated, cleaned some on the yard and cleared the fence. Let alone AJ riding on the four wheeler most the day. He loves that and the tractor. He fell asleep while mowing, I went to go get him from Brad we went in the house and he said more then fell over on his pillow.

My Papaw Crabb made AJ a time out chair. Well its not for time outs but it was supposed to be, well he sits in it all the time now, he says I be good. LOL Such a doll.

Saturday morning I had to take my dog to the vet, he woke up friday and coulnd't move from the waist down, he was dragging his legs he wouldn't pee or anything. Took him in on Saturday and he has a herniated disk. They are hoping the shot will fix it but if not we have to decide wether to pay 2000.00 or more for surgery or put him to sleep.

Last night at 4 I carried him outside the next thing I know he is gone. He was down by the pond, guess he is feeling better. They said Cage rest for a month, he hates being in a cage, they don't want him walking or anything.

Well thats about all I have I have been attempting to get pictures developed. I promise to do it soon. AJ is getting so big.

Love to you all,

Rain rain go away.
I think it is raining sideways. So last night was a beautiful night. AJ and I went home got his wagon and headed to the pond to feed the ducks and to get the mail. He loves riding in his wagon. Made just for him. No child has a wagon like it.

He leanred what the slide is. Oh he slides on his butt, back, stomach and he goes headfirst feet first however he can go he goes. He loves it.

I put him to bed at 930 after a much needed bath. He loves playing with leaves and grass throws it in his hair.

We are trying to get things ready for a wonderful summer. I wish I was back to where I could have summers off like when I was in school, and spend the day with AJ. I see alot of Park trips and alot of fun adventures for him and I. I can't wait to take him places and when he gets older taking him to bigger funner places.

He is a wonderful boy. LOL who needs to sleep at ngiht he will wake up and stay up for anywhere 1-4 hours in the middle of the night. I am exhausted last night he came and I put him in between Brad and I so I could sleep also he fell right to sleep.

Brad is going to have to sleep in AJ's race car bed I am afraid. LOL

Well all for now, take care and love to you all.

Hurray Wednesday

All down hill from here. Come on Friday.
This time change CRAP is for the birds. Brad and I have managed to get to bed at 11 almost evernight. When it stays daylight till 9 it makes it hard to go in the house and go to bed.

The ducks love being on the pond. Although they don't use their house. AJ helped fence the pond in, he was covered in mud head to toe Friday. We got one side done while he slept in the truck and then the other side he woke up and i went and got him he played in the mud, sat in the mud he was dirty.

He picked up his first worm on Monday night. He let it crawl on his hand till it streched and got real long then he waved his hand. Erica was trying to get him to put it near his mouth. I told her he does that and your butt will be kicked. He laughed at her when she did it, but we could only hope it would drop into her mouth. LOL

Well we are all fine, survived the storms and gearing up for the ones thrusday and friday. Hopefully it won't be as bad.

Love to you all,
The 3 Kelleys

It's been a long time.
Sorry all, power outages, storms we never know how much we miss something till its gone.
So after having no power for 25 hours, last night at 11 it finally came on. I told Brad if he didn't call and yell at the power company we would have lights hours ago but at 615 am yesterday morning they got a not so nice phone call. Brad was upset. Of course out heat and electric bill has been running around 350.00 a month for a few months. Plus AJ was ice cold when he woke up, we put him in bed with us to help keep him warm.

Mom threatened to the electric company with her and AJ coming down and sitting in their lobby until out lights came on. The lady said that wasn't aloud. I told mom to take him after he has been a wake a few hours and really is tired and crying cause he is afraid he will miss something taking a nap.

We went to Shirley's (Brad's moms) to take a shower last night. Oh HAPPY DAY HOT WATER
With mom living on the same road no power there was a problem for them also. So thank you Shirley for the water, and sorry for the laundry you had to do with us using your stuff.

Also, I guess I haven't been a very good picture person lately, well I have been taking pictures left and right but I haven't got them printed yet and don't have any new ones to share on here. So hopefully I will get to that this week. I only have a few pictures left on my disk so I will have to get them printed so I can take more. So after a warm night in our beds we are now still tired but a little refreshed with the warmth.

Hope the storms are done, until tomorrow. Cya
