And Molly it is.....

So Molly wins, well, not really on the polls but for the Deakins!!! Turner and Johnny both picked that out of our little "lists" we had. Yeah, still not sure about the middle name. My mom and Johnny's mom both share the middle name of Sue, so we might go with the family tradition of carrying names on with that one.. Obviously the room is not finished. My mom and aunt painted some flowers on canvas and hopefully a few other pieces will finish the walls. Turner had his initials above his crib that I painted so, may have to do something above her crib too. Can't be partial to one and not the other. I have a feeling I'll learn that all too soon. Turner did want me to tell you that he helped put Molly's bed together. He had to lift up my shirt and tell Molly that too!
Turner did get new big boy furniture(bunk beds) also, but when I took this picture of Molly's room, he and the dog were laying on his brand new bedding, so I opted to wait on that photo. I mean why do we even buy new things??? Just add dog hair, dirt, and a discount and I'm sold.

To Infinity and Beyond!!!

We have done Boo at the Zoo every year since Turner was born and this year we drug the Clifton's with us! Turner had a blast and I even made it all the way without complaining or having to "rest"!!! I was worried about not being able to keep up with them but it was pretty crowded so the lines were long. I don't remember it ever being that crowded. Turner looked pretty hilarious in his Buzz Lightyear outfit and almost got in a fight with another Buzz. This "other imposter Buzz" walked up to Turner and put his hands on Turner's chest and said "I'm Buzz". Well Turner got up in his face and said "I"m Buzz Lightyear and I'm bigger than you!" Turner was clearly not bigger than him and Johnny intervened bc it looked like it could go downhill between the superheroes really fast. So Johnny said "whoa" and Turner kinda frowned his eyebrows and said "ok, maybe you're bigger." It was really funny!!!

Promise I'm not a greedy person......

Ok, so with this Gestational Diabetes, I've been making a list of things that people "NEED" to bring me at the hospital to make me a happier person!!!! Most of these things are simple, yet I can not have due to the diabetes which I'm still in denial about! I've only had 1 high reading and that was on my birthday for pete's sake!!!!! Which yes, I am celebrating again, bc I didn't even get to eat anything!!!I had 1 cookie and that made me go over. Gimme' a break!
1) A COKE!!!!LARGE
2)Cereal-don't even care what kind, big bowl
3)Ice cream-don't care what kind of this either, again, big bowl
4) Cheeseburger and fries (like the only thing I was craving and they took that away!Jerks!)
5) Hot Caramel Apple Cider-starbucks-I'll take generic too
6) Halloween Candy-maybe childish but you can't tell me you don't sneak a piece of your kids!!?
7) Pasta-again, don't care what kind. Even spaghetti, lasagna, whatever!
I know I'll have more to post on this when they keep adding to the list of what I can/can't have!
I go back to both diabetes dr and obgyn on the 29th so I'll be asking many many questions. ...Does this mean I can deliver earlier? Do I really have this or was I just starting to gain weight and you all were thinking about me and what I'd look like after 2 kids??? How soon after delivery can I have a coke??? Exactly how "fat" is Molly going to be??? Should I go ahead and take all the 0-3 month outfits back to consignment? (Turner was almost 10 lbs and we totally skipped that size with him) Can I stop stabbing myself yet? I'm sorry that my family hates you bc I am the cook and they are now on the same diet... oh wait, that wasn't a question.....sorry.

Kids say the darnest things....

I've got more of these.....Did I tell yall the "crap" story? oh, well, here it goes.... So, Turner a few weeks ago, had a bout of diarreah. I'm thinking too many strawberries in one sitting or just a yucky stomach bug going around. So...while sitting at dinner, Johnny says, "buddy, you are not sleeping with me tonight, you're not crappin' on me!" well, Turner got very upset and starting to cry and with the most pitiful voice ever looked at him and said..."Well, can I crap on mommy?"
We fell on the floor laughing and he was still so sad.

While on the way to preschool the other day-we have to wake up early on these days- Turner is rubbing his eyes and starts getting frustrated. I said "What's wrong?" he yells " I've got sticky sap in my eyes mommy!" I laughed and said "oh, you mean sleep?" he of course retorted "No, I'm awake, mom!"

The worst ever!!!!!Can't believe I'm even going to tell you all is when it was just me and Turner at home and I was cooking dinner, so he runs up behind me and smacks my behind and then says, "oh, i'm sorry mommy, is baby sister growing in your butt?" I cracked up laughing and turned around and said "no, why?" he said, "because mommy your butt is growing!" all inquisitive-like. It really wasn't funny to me, but Johnny reminds me of that all the time. My friend Ashley does too!!!!

I'm sure I have many more, these are just the few that pop into my mind right now!! Enjoy!

MACK IS BACK!!!!!!

Mack is back!!!!He's home safe with us, hungry, thirsty, absolutely filthy but we don't care, he's back with us!!!!!
A lady called me about 10:15pm tonight and said, did you find your dog? I said , no, we haven't. She said she thought she just saw him down the road and to hurry. Of course I ran in the car flew up the road and there he was wandering around. He went right to her, she came to meet me and got ahold of him. He was so freaked out, he didn't know what to do. So I praised her and put him in the car and Turner started yelling. He was so excited!
He has thorns and stickers all over him since he has so much hair so he ate and drank and we gave him a bath and now he wont leave my side and just keeps staring at me!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and thoughtful words. You wouldn't believe some of the things that people were saying to me when I was passing out fliers. It was awful! So I appreciate you all and especially the lady down the road. I have her name and number on caller id so am going to call and bring her a present tomorrow!
Thanks again, our best friend is back!!!!

Mack's Missing!!!!!Please pray for safe,quick return!!!

So I went to walk our dog tonight about 10:40pm and he took off after a cat and hasn't returned. Me and many neighbors frantically searched for him for hours and can't find him. Johnny even came home from working night shift and scoured the woods around the house for hours to no avail. Please pray for Mack's safe and quick return. He sleeps at the foot of Turner's bed every night as you can see and just don't know what we'd do without him. Dogs really are a part of your family!

After shedding so many tears tonight, pray for me to aslo keep my strength to 'talk' to Turner tomorrow with wise words and a strong heart. T knows he's missing but fell asleep in my bed while we were searching around the house. It's hard not to blame yourself, ya know?. I'll keep ya posted!

Hope there's never a fire!!!!

Don't have pics of this one bc I'd have to post a Warning:!

So doorbell rang the other day, dog went barking and child ran yelling to the door. Guess we don't have visitors often enough!? It was the Loudon County Volunteer Fire Dept. He's doing his speal and asking for donations for new equipment and hopefully we wont ever need them bc we aren't in the city-blah blah. I fully intend on writing a check before he went on with his speech. Well, Turner of course raises his hand to give a high five and the very nice gentlemen says, 'well, buddy maybe I'll take a raincheck on that high five" I was kinda perplexed and was thinking man, that was almost rude..UNTIL... I looked down from trying to block the dog from running out the door and noticed that Turner with his hand still raised-has NO pants on, NO underwear on, NOTHING but a shirt that was obviously too small!!!! So, I gasped-"Turner go put some clothes on" with an embarrased grin, then I kinda pushed him around the dog to go run and get clothes on, he trips over the vacuum cleaner exposing even more than he had before and now not only do I look like a bad mom, I look like an abusive, horrible mom!!!!!

I looked at Turner and said, "did you trip over the vacuum cleaner?" even though it was obvious. He was screaming and crying of course bc he had an aduience-"no you pushed me down!!!"

So I looked at the nice Fireman and asked if he could come back Friday, he said sure is this 170 or 160. I said 170, I'm so sorry, crazy day!? He said, "no problem, I understand". This was over a week ago!!!!!

Do I even need to tell you that the Loudon County Volunteer Fire Dept. has NOT been back to our house to collect their donations from the Deakins Family?????!!!!!!

How embarassing!!!!!
