Sunday

After reading this post myself, I must first say it is a lot of just plain babble! lol enjoy! :)

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. My weekend was a little busy, but not too bad. Friday night is movie night here at the Reeves' home, but not this weekend - it was sleep night! The boys were tired from school and a long week, Kalee fell asleep in the chair and Marlee and I were not feeling well, Larry had rookie school and had to be up early so we all went to bed early! Doesn't happen often here, but when needed it happens!!!! Saturday morning came early even after early bedtimes. Larry left for rookie school and the kids got up and and got ready to go. Kalee was going to Aunt Stacey's to play for a little while and Marlee and Drae had a Teen Works event. They went Ice Skating! TJ, Kris and I did a little shopping and I printed some pictures and they played until time to pick the other 3 up. Picked the other 3 up and came home and also picked up Brianna and Keara when we got Kalee. Larry got home about 2 hours after we did and he and I went to dinner and then home. Marlee was pretty sick later that night and so was I. We went to bed and slept in because Marlee and I and even Larry still were not feeling well! Larry fixed the kids some pancakes since he had to leave too early to have Pancake Saturday. So the kids said it was a Pancake Sunday! The weather was nice enough for the kids to actually spend a couple hours outside! They loved it. Marlee has been in bed all day - she is still not feeling well. I feel a little better but still in my jammies!!! The kids are all in the house right now playing games and Larry is cooking dinner! So nice to have a man who will do anything to help me! He is a great dad, husband and pappy! He was just tired from rookie school not sick. Thank God!!! Now about him, I cannot believe my man is a fireman. He is volunteer fire fighter! He has dreamed of this forever! So even with my fears I agreed to it. I say I agreed because he does not NEED my approval, but he does want it and if I said I just can't handle it he wouldn't do it! That is how it is in a marriage. But I could not keep him from a lifelong dream just because of fear on my part. I know God gave him the dream so He will protect him. I am proud of him!!! Well I am going to eat dinner with my family and check on my baby girl! I hope everyone stays well and has a great week full of blessings and happiness!!! Here is a picture for you!

"They call me a fireman....."

WEll that is what we will be calling Larry now! I am happy for him but not so sure for me yet?! I just have to trust God to protect him. I am proud of him. He is volunteer for now and they voted him on tonight. He is thinking of making a late age career change and trying to go full time - paid. That may be while though. he is so excited as this is a child hood dream. HE got the licens plates for 2 vehicles, the pager, fitted for uniforms and turn out gear. He is so happy , like a little kid at Christmas lol! I will be joining the Ladies Auxilliary which consists mostly of the wives of the firemen. The station is less than a mile from our house so that is really nice. I told Larry he should ride a horse down there and tie it to a hitching post. He said one of these days he will because most of the guys have horses! I told him to go put in a hitching post! He said I was crazy - he is right - I have to be to have as many kids and to stay married to him this long :)!!!! Just kidding - he is my world! Well we are going to bed now, but I had to share the news - good news for him, I guess ok news for me. :)
Good night all!

Monday

Today was a good day for a Monday :). Larry went and got his driving record for his fireman application and he could not wait to rub it in that he has a perfect driving record since I am always on him about his driving! :) He is so excited about the meeting tomorrow night at the Fire House! I cannot believe he is attempting this and that I am "ok" with it. I just decided that if he has had this dream since childhood and now has the chance to make it a reality and I LOVE him why stand in his way? And the best thing is he asked me and REALLY wanted to know how I felt about it. He was very sensitive to my feelings - which is not surprising! I am happy for him though and hope he makes it all the way! Tonight Larry, Marlee, Drae and I went to a 4H Horse Council Meeting. It was very interesting! I believe we are going to really enjoy 4H!!!!
Kourtnee's baby girl - Sydnee Renee' could be here just any day now! WE jump when the phone rings, don't want to go very far from the house so we are not far from her, and Base everything on "when Sydnee gets here"! It is amazing to me how much this little baby is already loved and already a part of our lives before she is even held or touched or seen! Babies are such miracles! I know that I have been blessed with children and the children that God wanted me to have, but I will always have a part of that grieves not being able to give birth to a child that has Larry's big blue eyes and my little nose and ears. But I cannot be more excited for Sydnee to be here and the fact that Larry and I have been able to be with her through so many appointments and we will be able to share the birth together with our daughter and Craig! We are extremely excited!
Well, I am going to bed! I need sleep getting the cold that everyone else has had and I have to fight it off to make sure I am not banned from the delivery room - God forbid that! I have waited toooooo long for this wonderful experience! Good night all!
