Ok so my hubby messed up and thought we were comming home Friday.I looked at the Itenerary on our way to the airport on Sunday and noticed our flights were scheduled to head back home Saturday.We got home around 8 pm tonight and im tired but sooo happy to be home and keyed up.
That was the LONGEST week of my life.I dont like texas at all.It was warm and there were no signs of christmas the people drive like maniacs there and most were NOT very friendly.I am a friendly person and will talk to anyone.I just kept saying click my heels and i will be home in Kansas.
Landen was a trooper and had mom and dads full attention .when we got done running around for the day we were back in the motel at 3 pm and he got mom and dads attention the whole time.He loved evertybit of it. We did shop at the PX and i got Landen an adorable sweater its sooo cute and a pair of pants.I want to get a family pic taken and will put this outfit on him for the pics. I surpised myself i have stressed myself about flying and am happy to say it was NOT bad at all.I dont like take off but the rest wasnt bad.Michael said on the last flight home so ya think ya could fly to Liberia.My reply.......WILD HORSES cant keep me away a second longer from our little man and yes i will fly to Liberia.
Tomorrow i am going grocery shopping and come Monday i am headed back to work.I still have some christmas shopping to get done and will push to get it completed this week.I am ready to start baking christmas cookies and candies.I am also hoping to recieve our I171H before xmas thats a present in itself.It feels good to be home and sleep in my own bed and not waking up with a back ache.HOME SWEET HOME.

LAST POST FOR A WEEK!
Michael,Landen and I will leave tomorrow for Texas.Our flight is scheduled to leave at 3 15.We are headed for Ft hood and we will return on Friday.Today has been extremely busy making sure we are packed with Plenty of diapers and things for Landen.Making sure my house is in tip top order for a whole week and my older kids are packed and ready to go to Grandma and Grandpas.They will also be keeping by sweet Bella girl (my PUG) for the week.
I also did some more christmas shopping online last night I am pushing to get it done.My cousin will be comming by my house several times to see if packages arrived and will keep them until we get back.I am ready to get this week over its going to be a LONGGGGGGG one. We took all the kids to supper tonight so we could spend some time with them beore we leave tomorrow.I wish i could take all my kids with me but with school and sports its just not possible.Landen goes because he has seperation anxiety he is very much a mommas boy and is very attached at the hip lol.He also has seizures although my mom dont care she would keep him in heart beat she knows how to give his meds and what to do if he has a seizure.But we felt it best to take him with.
Next saturday we will be taking the kids to Krug park here it is all done in lights and absolutley beautiful hope the night we go Santa is there and we can get Landen on video with Santa clause.Speaking of i was doing some shopping and could NOT resist.I got landen a inch worm i had one when i was little and i loved it.Landen cannot peddle yet so this was ideal for him.He is still small enough for it too.As a trike he is to tall for and again wont peddle it.He will LOVE LOVE LOVE this toy. We will keep it simple for his Birthday as its 4 days after christmas.He will have cake and icecream of course and i bought one extra gift i put back for his birthday.
I would be able to post from Texas but my husbands laptop died.We put it in to get repaired and got the call that its done it would be cheaper to buy a new one.I was bummed about this.We used the laptop when we went out of town to keep contact. We have internet in our room just no computer so im a bit bummed about that.Ok better wrap this up i still have some things o get done and checked off my list.Hope everyone has a great week!I wil be happy when i am back home with all my babies on Friday.

CHRISTMAS PARTY
The Army National Gaurds had their Christmas party tonight. We ate a turkey dinner it was very good.Then Santa came Landen has always been scared of SANTA he usually fusses and cries.Not tonight he heard Santa and he got all excited and Grabbed his daddies hand and they headed to where Santa was. Landen got right up on santas lap and patted his belly snuggled next to him and plopped his thumb in his mouth.And stupid me did not have a camera with me.He was so darn cute.He got a sack full of goodies from Santa.
Landen is so darn funny he got in the car when we were leaving to come home and kept saying HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS! He loves christmas so so much. Not really the presents.He loves the Music and the lights and the cookies and all the good stuff of christmas.He would rather have the wrapping paper over the presents anyday.He loves to touch the tree and say PETTY. I need to get a new Digital camera so bad.Maybe when i come back from Texas i will get one.Unless i find a good deal on one while in Texas.

XMAS SHOPPING
Today i went shopping...Its the best time for me to go when the kids are at school and Michael is at work.He is hard to shop with as he gripes when i buy things.I am happy to say that 2 of my 6 kids are now finished.I am also happy that i didnt spend alot either.
I also bought Jaxson a jumparoo...I had bought him a johnny jumper but was thinking it best if i get one on the stand because im afraid Landen would push him and smack his head or something.This jumparoo is to cute.It looks like a horse and it was a super buy at walmart.
I got home from shopping at 2 pm and had to hurry and wrap them as the kids get home at 3:30pm from school.If i hide them they would of found them so best if i get them wrapped right away.My 2 girls were thrilled when they came home and seen presents with their names on them.We leave for Texas on Sunday so this is another reason i am pushing to get Most of the shopping done.I dont like LAST MINUTE shopping ughh.
My goal is to be done shopping by the end of the week!I dont have much more to do and will be happy when its COMPLETED!Then i can focus on my Holiday baking after we get back from Texas.

BUMMED
I am so bummed it has been 2 months and we are still waiting for our I171H approval. I get up early to check the mail everymorining in hopes it will in the mail.I have just been so down about it.I know it will come im just not a very patient person.
Patience is so hard when you are so inlove with a child and want them in your arms so badly.I am ready for him his crib is up all his clothes are washed and in his dresser i even have diapers in the diaper stacker bottles are on a shelf in the kitchen.All the signs of our little man but no little man yet.I am hoping i keep busy with the holiday comming and shopping and baking that it takes some of these things off my mind.Maybe tomorrow is the day our i171H comes.
