well today has been and ok day i suppose, chris made tons of noise when leaving for work this am and he woke up both of my girls and so they were super grouchy this am. Hailey screamed and bethany got into everything. I was happy when they went down for their nap and they woke up in such a great mood. bethany and i picked up a bit and then we played ball together. it was alot of fun! we threw the beach ball at hailey a bit to make her feel involved. we took a few pictures and they were having fun to. Now bethany is watching arthur on pbs and hailey is sitting here crying cuz i wont let her touch my comp. well that is all we did today take care and have a wonderful day

Howdy its my Tuesday update =)
lets start with Sunday we got up and got ready for the race. But we were still pretty tired from Saturday Nite =) It was super fun to have all of chris's siblings and their spouses over and hanging out. So its the race omg wow that was quite the finish ;) we watch harvick get spun out my jpm and then get into a "conversation" on the track with him. That was great then we watched Tony beat Gordon which made our day LOL. We are not fans of Gordon at all. We had taco's for dinner. We love our Sundays where we do family things. I really feel as though its important to do family things and create memories that will get us thru our life and whe we are older have nice things to think about.
ok so anyhow monday was a noral everyday day. The girls always do something cute. I went and got dinner from my mom's house cuz she made a stew and I absolutely love stew! When i was close to home I called home and asked Bethany to ask her dad to come help me get the food out of the car and she says "daddy mommy car food out plz" Man I was so proud of her =) she is getting just sooo big its amazing! I cant believe that she'll be in preschool soon. Miss Hailey is growing up so fast also, she keeps trying to stand up and she isnt even 9 months old. Now I was walking at 9 months old so I wonder if Miss Hailey will to.
Just one more week til we are going out of town for a baseball game. I think i'll try to get my outfit then at my favorite store and I'll stop by a couple other stores and see if I cant get the girls dreses for Jeni's wedding. Chris I can just get him a shirt from Mervyns and Maybe a new pair of slacks. Bethany needs new tennis shoes ones that fit her so i'll try to pick a pair of those from a store while we are gone to. Ofcourse i'm goin to target and getting my target corn! I'm going to need to get a pair of dress shoes also depends on what ill be wearing for jeni's wedding. I might wear a nice shirt and a pair of pants who knows. I do know that I need to pick something up soon cuz her wedding is a little over 1 month away. I might bring and Ice chest and have my parents take me to costco and do some shopping. I wanna get a post roast that they have there. I think maybe wed i'll make a stew chris will like that and it really doesnt look all that difficult. I need to go to the store and get some stew meat and some cream of mushroom soup. and ill make the stew. chris and I and bethany loved it!!! and if my kid eats it all gone it must be good! LOL.
So i'm almost done with christmas. I have Caleb done, I have My mom and suzie and valerie done, I have Frank done. I know what i'm getting bill and my father. I think I know what i'm getting wes & jeni and I need to get a few more things for bethany and hailey. Then i'm gonna see how much I have left b4 i decided fully on what i'm getting chris. I didnt spend a lot on everyone. just 10.00 or less on the adults and a little bit more on caleb. Once Wes & Val's baby comes out then i'll shop for her. To make sure it is a her LOL. But I have some stuff for her that isnt gender specific. I hope no one gets their feeling hurt about their kids but I'm really spending more on my kids then I am their kids. Omg I just looked at my comp and realized how much I have typed so i'll type more tomorrow take care

Well today was the wine walk ;) it was neato ofcourse we always have fun walking and talking with the people we see. it was nice chris's dad came and so did his brother and his wife and his soon to be brother in law. after a while his sister showed up when she got off work. so all that was super. his brother and dad came over for dinner and we bbq'd some burgers and brats and had potato salad along with it. Everyone was having a swell time i think. We eventually go seperated from the pack and then wound up in the same place again. I just got bethany to sleep and i'm hoping hailey will fall asleep without her pacafier because i dont have a clue as to where it is. I'm ready for bed but I'm not sure if chris's family is comming back in to hang out or what the deal is. Chris was mentioning they all wanna go goof off and he told 'em they could all come over here and chill so i'm not really all together sure whats goin on ; ) i wish he'd tell me so i could either go to bed or wait up instead of waiting up to find out they decided to go else where ;) but oh well LOL its nice to be at home just wish that hailey would stop fussing and just go to bed without that darn pacafier :P I am gonna have to break her of it here soon. Just like i did with bethany just take it away and say hey your done with that thing your to old for it anyhow. It drives me bonkers when i see 1 and 2 yr olds or even older walking around with a damn pacafier in their mouth. I think some parents use it as a way to keep their kids from blabbing ;) I dont want to stop my kids from talking. I really enjoy it when bethany sits there and blabs for ever and ever and ever ;) she gets that honestly you know chris and i just blab and blab and blab. As you can tell from this blog ;) anyhow I dont really have any pics of the wine walk to show you this time i'm so sorry I am slackin! anyhow i'm gonna stop blabbing here and i'm going to get going for a while and kinda take a little catnap on the couch while there isnt anyone here and try to get a lil more energy incase they all do decide to come and hang out here. ttyl i'm gonna blog more tomorrow so bet you cant wait and are sitting on the edge of your seat waiting!!!!

Well today was an ok day, the girls and I *danielle* have been sick all week long. Chris was sick over the weekend and by tuesday morning I was feeling the cold. Went to Chris's softball game on wed and that didnt help much so thursday i spent the day at my mom's house trying to rest and feel better. Today I woke up feeling better but bethany is still quite under the weather. Hailey kicked it in like 1 day!!! Tomorrow is the wine walk and i'm looking forward to that. chris's parents and his brother and sister in law are going also. Should be fun and interresting. ofcourse i'll be taking pics ;) they will be posted on here http://www.flickr.com/photos/amouwful/ well i'm gonna get going its almost 7pm now and i need to get the girls their baths done so they can and i can go to bed. chris is going to watch 300 tonite and i'm not interrested in watching that movie so i'm gonna sleep thru it ;)

this is their reason for dening my autoriation ;)

"we were unable to autorie the above procedure based on Medsolutions Oncology Imaging Guidelines. the lcinical information submitted does not describe a history of anaplastic thyroid cancer, surgery which left behind part of the thyroid gland or a thyroid cancer of follicular origin treated by removing the entire thyroid gland followed by radioactive iodine treatment in a patient who now has a thyroglobulin level >10 ng/ml and a negative recent radioactive iodine scan. "

now tell me how come my dr didnt submit that in 1998 i had papilary carsinoma in one lobe of my thyroid and and in the other lobe i had folicular carsanoma. also i did have th radiation to treat my thyroid cancer and i have absolutely no thyroid at all.

anyhow i'm going to file an appeal monday morning :) take care

dani

So today has been ok ;) I started to rearrange my livingroom. when i get it all done and cleaned up i'll snap a pic and put it up hopefully i'll it all done tomorrow. With not taking any thyroid meds i'm lacking in the energy department LOL

I got a phone call from my dr's office today. She said that my health ins declined the pre authorization for my body scan She said that there is no medical need for it cuz there is no history of thyroid problems or somethin like that. I'm like wtf did I have then? LOL anyhow that really annoys me. so she is gonna talk to the dr on tuesday and see if he is gonna contest it or if i need to. but i do know one thing I cant afford to pay for the whole test myself. that thing is like super dooper expensive.

i'm trying to see if we can find enough people that we like to want to go to the lake this weekend and have a day of fun but so far no takers LOL

so chris says when he gets a good job and a descent paycheck that he wants me to go to the hair place and get my hair done, i am stoked been looking at hair styles :) i think i found one i like for chris's sisters wedding. I dont think it will be to complicated for me to do on my own. but that all depends on the hair cut i have at the time of the wedding.

well i'm super tired so i'm gonna be done typing LOL take care

Its great !! someday soon maybe i'll get my laptop back. ok now for the other news. I went to the dr and he said my tsh * thyroid stimulating hormones* are extreamly high and they need to figure out why. He has ordered my body scan which is i'll gone for 3 consecutive days 2 days in a row i'll go in and have an injection in my arm to raise my levels and the 3rd day i'll go in and have my radioactive iodine pill and my body scan. i'm hoping that there will be a small enough dosage that i wont need to stay away from my girls and husband. well i will know more about when this is all gonna take place once we get authorization from my health insurance ;)

I got a couple little odds and ends for Chris's nephew 4th bday and some shampoo and stuff like that. I also picked up a cheap lil pool that we are going to set up for the girls, maybe next weekend when I can get some tarps. One for below the pool and one for over the pool! We need to also get 4 bricks from my moms house. When i went to take chris an amp'd its an energy drink he told me that we were invited over to Dans house, Dan is a nice guy that chris works with. So I was like ok cool, we went there got there bout 6pm it was nice, it was a sorta house warming party for him and his wife monique! At 1st when you drive up your like hmm they live in a metal shed. But wow when you see the inside its amazing that that is ahouse LOL. Its so beautiful on the inside. I love how open their kitchen is and I love the cubbards and pantry. They have the most badass closet!!!! the laundry room is attached to the closet!! ITs great !! hehehehe Got home bout 10:30pm got the kids to bed about 11:00pm

dani

Good Thursday to you all !!
I hope your day is going well, I just got off the phone with chris he says this day is going so slow. He got there @ 9:30am this morning. He'll be there til 6:00pm. I have been going thru the girls clothing and making sure all the pants and sweaters are put away. I was also switching Hailey's clothing around to the 6/9 month size. I cant believe she is growing up so fast. I need to get Bethany's old clothing out of the shed and get them cleaned :) i only have 6 more months left before Hailey will need the 12 month old clothing but time really goes by fast. I mean she is 6 months old now and sometimes it feels as though I just brought her home from the hospital. I tell you though ;) Bethany had entirely way to many cloths for a baby lol. Now her dirty cloths fit in to 1 laundry baskit! i love that.
I am going to a bbq tonite @ 5pm i'm super stoked about that, chris gets off @ 6pm and that is neato. although i wish it was his normal 230pm time. I am going to go to the Albertsons here soon and get some hamburger patties they are on sale for 2.99 a pkg. That is a super good deal! speaking of meat, I have so much hamburger meat i need to throw away cuz its part of that meat recall, I need to get that done, I wonder if that is partly why my family was so sick cuz we ate some of that bad meat.
This is the dress I want to get for Jeni's wedding

As soon as i can save up the money I'll be buying it.
this is the dresses i'm gonna get for the girls a pic of them will be uploaded to the pics i love these dresses!!!
well anyhow its now 1pm and I need to shower and start getting ready to go cuz @ 2pm I need to get the 2 girls ready to go !!! Take care hope your night goes well!!!

dani

Well good Wednesday to you! I hope that your day is going great! I wonder whats on tap for the weekend. I know that chris isnt working til 9:30am tomorrow which puts him off work @ 6pm. I was invited to a bbq tomorrow evening so i might just go ;) but i'll be leaving early due to having to pick up chris @ 6pm. He works that shift on Friday also which sux. I have picked out christmas presents for everyone and now i'm thinking about getting a pt evening job for a couple hrs to help fund the christmas presents. I'm considering going back to work but it wont be til after the 2nd of january when bethany starts preschool. but only if i can work monday thru thursday and only if they'll let me work 7am to 3pm. I wont work fridays thru sundays. those are family days.
Just got a call from the dr's office, looks like i have to go back in monday @ 3pm to hear about whats up with me. Cuz it looks like i'm going to be starting a new treatment. God i'm so frustraited. its soooo expensive to see this dr everytime i go see him its 40.00 god i just wanna cry right now I mean if they just needed to give me a new dosage they'd give me a perscription and tell me to get rechecked in a few weeks. So Monday wont be one of my slow days and i'm sure i'll have lots to talk about on my blog. So blah ok i'm gonna stop typing right now. If i come up with more feelings later i'll type them up but right now i'm not in the mood for typing.........

take care

Well today has been a realtively slow day ;) not to much has happened today. We are going to have taco's for dinner i suppose. Chris has to work the closing shift on thursday and friday so the girls and I will prolly just take their daddy out to dinner those nites after he gets off work. he'll most likely get off work @ 6pm so i dont like to cook that late at nite. I know most people prolly are just setting down to dinner then but i have my girls on a reutine that works for my family and I hate to mess it up. Bethany thrives on her reutine and she is confused when its messed up. So I suppose people prolly thing i'm not leinent enough but I do whats best for my family. After all they are my most important people.
So i'm planning Hailey's 1st birthday party. I'm hoping to be in a bigger house by then so i dont have to have it at johns pizza. I've been trying to get all the addresses I can of family members that are out of town for the invites. I'm gonna mail them out to out of town relatives prolly in september with a little note telling them i'm mailing them out 2 months early so if they plan on attending her 1st bday they have plenty of time to plan it. I dont want to leave anyone out and want everyone to know they are welcome. I havent quite decided on a cake yet but i'm sure i will ;) I really havent even settled on a theme. I'm hoping once we get closer and I know where its gonna be at i'll know more about the theme. I know if its a johns pizza it wont be much of a theme prolly just a color scheme.
Bethany's invites are just gonna be sent out at the beginning of December ;) they are strawberry shortcake ;) i'm gonna make her a cake or buy her one not sure yet. Its gonna be a white cake with 2 layers and between the 2 will have strawberries ;) i'm hoping that will be good! I cant believe she is gonna be 3yrs old in 6 months.
I'm looking forward to the next 6 months ;) so much is happening in our family ;) Wes and Val are gonna have their 1st lil one and its a girl ;) girls are soooo sweet and so much fun! I cant wait to hear the name they have picked out for baby girl Mouw :) Jeni & Frank are getting married!!! Hailey is turning 1 and Bethany 3 plus we have my parents and his parents anniv and Thanksgiving and Christmas and Jay and Sarah have an Anniv and my dad's bday, Wes & Val have an anniv and Wes has a bday.... so basically Sept thru Dec is super busy for us all !!! hehehehe.
We are going to our annual baseball game with my parents in August! its allways so mch fun. I hope that chris and i can attened 1 baseball game with just the girls though.
Ok well now i'm rambling ;)

I'm hoping this avon thing works out cuz it would be nice to have the money i can make from it ;) for whom ever reads this blog if u would be so kind to order your avon from me that would be super swell!!!!

thans in advance ;)
Dani

howdy this is the 1st post in this blog. I changed blog sites because the other blog spot was always giving me issues so i'm going to try this one.
Hailey is 6 months old now! time surely flies by let me tell ya. Bethany is about to be 2.5 yrs old. I wish that time would slow down. She is gonna start preschool after the 1st of the year because of when her birthday lies. Which is bad for her and Hailey anyhow cuz they'll have to start school at almost 6yrs old. I think if they perform as well as I think they will in preschool they might be able to start @ 5yrs old.
Bethany is sooooo smart its amazing to me how smart she is. You know what else is amazing she is the most thoghtful 2yr old I have ever met!! Seriously!!! anyhow i'm gonna try to blog in here as frequently as possible.

~Went to the dr today~
so i went to the dr today to start taking better care of my thyroid stuff and to make sure my cancer is still gone.

so he did some blood work that is the 1st step in making sure i'm still healthy. the 2nd step is for me to be taken completely off my thyroid medecine which is gonna make me completely tired and sooooooo exhausted so chris is gona have to take time off of work. then he'll do a scan to check me out then i'll go back on my meds !!!

~Anniversary Party @ 5yr Anniv~
well in 2yrs we are going to have our 5yr anniv!!! we are excited we are planning a big ole party !!!! we are planning a kid friendly party. we are hoping that if we decided to rent out a building that we'll have a designated kid playing area some where on the dance floor !! for the youngest of kids like 4 & under. Hailey will be 3 and Bethany will be 5 :) Nothing to super fancy but we'll want people to possibly dress nice, we are thinking of either renting a party hall or maybe a pool, if one of the pools wont allow alchol then the party hall for sure ;) i'm thinking its going to be a leuau themed and i'm going to start working on ordering all the decorations and supplies now ;) get a few each payday for the next 2yrs that way the most expensive thing is the hall and food. we are gonna start buying bottles of wine and other alchols and we'll get a keg

let me k now if wanna go and mark July 11, 2009 down for a party !!!

~UpComming June Events~
