Sleep overs!

These are some of my best memories from childhood. As soon as my mom let me that is all I wanted almost every weekend! The more girls I could have over the happier I was. LOL I had a few friends I had over a lot and they are still some of the closest friends ever. I remember ever Birthday from like 5 on was a big sleep over with 6 or more girls over. We would stay up as late as we could playing games, watching movies, eating fun food, and doing nails...Oh and we picked on the little bro to.

Tonight I entered this world again but as the Mommy and I hope the fun Mommy too. Paisley has been begging for her little friend Bailey to stay the night. I gave in finally and asked her mom and Tonight was the Night!!! I don't know if either of us Mommies where ready but our girl sure are lol. The really funny and neat thing is that us mommies, where the best of friends growing up almost like sisters! We spent about 1/2 our lives at the others house or on vacation with each other! Our girls both look just like we did at their age and act just the same! It was like watch a video of us playing and staying at the others house. So cool and such a great thing. The girls are fastly becoming really close friends and enjoyed tonight so much!

We started off the night with "Cowboy" dinner which Paisley asked if I would make for them. I called it this one time because it was beans and hot dogs and Paisley was going through a no bean stage and this is how I got her to eat LOL. Then we waited for Little Bee to go to bed to go swimming in the little pool out front! How funny this was...they splashed, played in the mud and just laughed so much. Then we had to take a quick bath to clean up the mud and other fun outdoor things off them. They played for a min. washed up with no fuss! The girls both let me brush their hair just fine. After that we did nails...put the fun stickers on them and glitter!!! Yes Keyton picked the glitter too...So you cant really tell but yes he had to join in the fun! Then we started Gnomeo and Juliet while I made Monster yogurt to go with...that is just vanilla yogurt with strawberries and kiwi in these cute Monster bowels I found today for just $1...They taught this was supper cool and asked to have in for breakfast too! They went to bed just fine and we will wake up play, eat lunch and then with Bailey's mom and baby sis head up to the discovery center for just a little more fun before call the sleep over done!!!

I am sad that my little girl is growing up but I loved this as a girl and as soon as I knew Paisley was a girl I could not wait to do this with my little ones!!! Such a great time in life and so fun to pass on....one thing I have going for me my parents did not is that Tryon and I are both night owls so the late nights should not bother us as much LOL. I will be posting pics and a video of the night on facebook! SO fun and cute..

Such a big mile stone in their little lives...they are already asking to do this again some time and with more than just Bailey...yes she is just like me...Here we go.

Round two

Keyton had his apt. with the orthopedic surgyon today and they put him in a full hard cast for 3 weeks. Yes he had a fat pad on the elbow in the x-rays which is a sign of a fracture. So yes he fractured yet another bone in his little body! I was suprised but happy we are fixing the problem and that we are on the road to recovery. He will have more x-rays done on the 28th to see if he needs another cast or if he will be fine with out it. Hoping for the best... And yes that means that he will have it on for Easter and Easter pics....LOL !! The memories that will make. He picked light blue to match the shirt he was wearing at the doc. and wants me to draw a snake around his wrist! He can wait for people to sign it and to show it off. Now bath time will be hard and he will be mad about not getting to play in the bath for the next few weeks. All in all he is ok just still hurting and now not able to do much at all. They said the pain will get better now that he is in the hard cast and that will be so nice maybe he will sleep better now. The nurse was so impressed at how good he was getting it put on and how intently he was watching the proses was really cute. I have one tough little guy!

Here We go again....

Well this year has not been our year with injuries and it is only 4 months into it. At this rate we will not make it to 2012 lol. and we can seem to shake them...here is what the last few months have been like in the Condra house hold....

1. Dec. 22, 2010 was the first major injury. Yes I know last year but this is where it started... Keyton went mouth first into my parents end table which ended with an x-ray to the mouth, two good cuts to the gums and every ligament in the upper teeth shaken and hurt. Took and good 6 weeks to heal up and stop hurting


2. Feb. 14, 2011..again Keyton went face first into the brick of my parents fireplace which ended with an x-ray, fractured cheek bone, dislocated nose, and black swollen eye! Took about 3 weeks for the bruising to heal and another 3 for the bone to stop hurting! That was a hard time with pain and having a happy boy. He did good though despite it all.


3. Feb. 22, 2011...Paisley was at school and fell off the swings face first. Picked her up covered in blood and one scratched up face. She bit the bottom lip almost through it, cut the top gums and had a dislocated nose. Her teacher did call the next am to see how she was doing which I thought was so sweet. She was fine in about 3 weeks from it all


4. March 23, 2011...Daddy was playing soccer and fell beating up his leg pretty good. He was fine just sore for a good 2 weeks or so.


5. March 8, 2011...Brezlyn was not walking right all day so we took off her shoe to see her next to the last toe was standing strait up!! OMG that one looked bad. Took her in thankfully no x-ray needed it was just dislocated and she was fine the next am!


6. March 16, 2011...the kid thought it would be funny to pull Brezlyn around in a laundry basket all was well til Mommy was cooking and they tried to put her in a basket on my bed. She fell off and hit her head on the dresser. She was fine other than a good bump and needed so good TLC


7. March 27, 2011 Yes Keyton's b-day did not end well for him he fell into a nail that was sticking out of a wall and cut his head up pretty good. He was fine made sure he did not need a shot and Nonnie came over to check on him and all was good.


8. March 28, 2011 The big one!!! The kids where playing bored games with Daddy on the floor and Keyton was acting silly rolling around with the dice. Next thing we know he is screaming his head off and holding his arm. Thinking it was his arm out of place yet again I try to pop it back in NO LUCK there. He started Yelling FIX IT MOMMY FIX IT. Well he was not acting the same with it as normal and it was not fixing so off to the ER. 7 x-rays and 3 tries by the doc to pop it back in we were sent home with a sling at 3 am and told if he still could not use it the next day bring him back...Well after waking up ever 30 mins that am and him screaming most the day... we went back and 3 x-rays later they put him in a temp. Cast, Which took two nurses and me holding him down to do. I think this was the worst mommy moment so far as he screams I HATE U MOMMY U ARE MEAN, STOP STOP U ARE HURTING ME !!! Over and over and the whole way home. Was told they could not see anything on the x-rays but think he fractured his cartilage in the elbow and wrist. If not better in 5 days take him to an orthopedic surgeon.

Well we are almost to the 5 day mark and he is not better. He screams when we take the cast off and at the end of the day he is just miserable! Even with Strong pain meds he is still hurting and today we had to take a bath with out the cast because big sis put dirt down the cast. Thanks Paisley! He was not happy and it really hurt him to sit there with out it. At Nonnies tonight he fell on it and was so upset it broke my heart. Praying we find out something soon so that he can sleep better and be back to normal soon. I will calling everyone in Amarillo to see if they will take a 3 yr and see what is going on. He is not happy about this at all and now has a stronger dislike for Doctors. I dont blame him and I am ready to not get the bad ended of his hurt. I want to fix it I just cant and he does not understand that one bit. I will keep everyone updated on this as we find out what comes next or what is going on. Pray for this little arm....Who knew bored games could be dangerous LOL Only my kid could pull that off. Then to ending things up!.....

• Two days ago I fell on my back in the hall and i am bruised up too...anyone who knows my history knows this was not a good thing as in if I fall the wrong way I will never walk again...I am sore but will be fine in a few days or so. Thank God for that one. My sweet 4 yr made me a pallet on the floor, took my shoes off for me, and then layed by me til daddy got home. Melted my heart!


• Not to mention the everyday bumps, scrapes and bruises in there that happen in this house almost every day LOL

Our poor house need some healing and some thing to give! We are now Praying that nothing else like this comes our way so that we can have fun and healthy kids! WoW when it rains it really pours LOL I only laugh because there is nothing else I can do I feel so bad for them and wish so hard that I could take their pain from them! I have never felt so helpless and it is true being a mommy is not for the weak at heart! God give me strength oh and sleep! Since the big arm thing i have not slept the best because he has not. I ask for prayers for him and our family to be safer! Thank u all

Some good things have happened too...Brezlyn started walking a week after her birthday!!! She is so fast and now is into everything. She thinks she is one of the big kids and it is too funny!!! Now she walked to Paisley and Not mommy :( but it was wonderful to see the love in those two girls. She has also learned so much she sings with the kids in the back of the car, does everything they do when they dance. She tries so hard. She is finally into being read to and Loves Brown Bear Brown Bear and From Head to toe! She will sit all the time now for books which I love. She will bring u a book and say "read please" and back up into ur lap! LOVE IT. She is all about Babies and walks around most the day saying Babe Babe. She is sweet and loves to laugh all day long. I thank God for her sweet and ornery nature everyday!

Keyton is really getting so smart everyday and so independent which is a mile stone for him. He is all boy and going 90 to nothing til time for bed. He is really sweet and always telling everyone that he loves them. Just the other day I told Paisley to tell me Thank You she did and then Keyton said..."Now Mommy say your welcome" LOL he is learning fast! He loves to sing and has a really good voice already! I love to hear him. His Birthday was wonderful and full of snakes down to the cake! He had a great time. He has made a few friends here that are boys and around his age and it is wonderful to see. He makes me laugh and I wish I had his energy. He is a little ball of fire and sweetness. I love him so much!

Paisley is learning so much from school and getting to go on really neat field trips like to a new station and to see the helicopter at the hospital! She has a really good friend who she loves so much. She has even done some play dates with her with out mommy. I was scared but she has loved it so much. She is so excited to learn and so good at it to. She is a really good artist and I love to see her art. She could sit all day and color and draw and would be very happy. She is a lot of help around the house and I could not make it with out her some days. She always makes me smile and knows just when I need a laugh. She has really come around to cuddling and we have a date night to watch a show we both enjoy. She is growing up so fast but I am loving watching her grow and can see that she is going to be such a wonderful little lady some day!

So this is mostly for me but I have to get it down...

I feel as I give to much of myself to others just to get let down over and over again. I give everything to my kids they are first in my life as I think it should be and then to my Hubby. I try so hard to do things for others and really poor my heart into the things I do just to get my heart walked on by that person. I have lost my faith in family because it seems that family (other than my little family) does not take care of each other any more. Not all of them are this way but instead of working things out I have seen (not in just mine) family turn their back on people, walk away or just make the person feel as if they don't matter to anyone. Do people not realize how they can hurt some one by these actions and how family should be there for each other. I just don't understand the world today I know people are busy and that family is more spread out. I also know people should stand up for what they believe in and keep there family safe from harm but to out cast people because of looks, lifestyles, and other should not happen with in the family. God taught us to love each other and i see more and more hate in the world and it makes me sad. I know I have struggled with these also but have tryed to make things right and to follow the path God is leading me. I just wish that family was more important to everyone and not just at Christmas and holidays but every day. If we can lean on them then who do we really have in the world?

I just wish people could see how their actions put a mark on someone who maybe going through more than what people see on the outside. Also how hate can ruin a Strong relationship between some one else. Wish there was a button that we could push to talk things out with out fights and hurt feelings and to really understand the other. Anger is a bad emotion sometimes!

Sorry the rant is over!

First Broken Bone....

Well it finally happened....Keyton has broken a bone!! 3 nights ago we where over at my Mom and Dad's for dinner. The kids where all playing in the living room running and being silly. I was in the kitchen with Mom talking and helping with Keyton's noodles for dinner. Then all of the sudden Keyton is screaming! He comes walking into the kitchen holding his head first thing i check is for blood...good there was none. Then I ask Paisley what happened, she tells me that he fell into the fireplace and hit his head on the brick. Ok so then I start looking for bumps....found it on his cheek there was a good little bump there. Did not look to bad you could see where he hit the corner of the brick and it went from the side of his nose to the end of the cheek. We iced it and watched him the rest of the night. Got in the car to leave and took so pics of this not swollen red spot that was starting to blue up. I was starting to worry but Tryon and I decided to wait til the morning before rushing off just to see how he was. Well in the morning he looked bad his eye was half swollen shut and the bruising was looking bad. He also did not sleep the best that night and now his breathing was not the best. So after I dropped Paisley off at school I called a friend who is a nurse for so advice just to see what she thought. She said she would take him in just to see and to make sure his breathing was ok. So off we go and of course they push all over it and Keyton is mad and screaming they check everything even his neck form the impact and all. Breathing was good, neck great, eyes slow but fine, swelling bad, nose bad, check bad....X-rays come back and he has a hair line fracture in his cheek. Not the best then they tell me he has a concussion also. Ok really not good but there was nothing they could do for him but watch him for infection or major head trauma. Then they also say his nose maybe dislocated at the top of the cartilage but again nothing they can do...if it is he will start waking up with blood in the nose. Ok well this morning he did so Check that one off too...dislocated nose. OH my POOR guy...fractured cheek, dislocated nose, and a concussion not a good way to spend Valentines Day.

He is doing better than I thought with the pain. He does not understand needs to sit still most of the day and ends up hurting it or just feeling bad later. He is not sleeping good with it and has to be propped up on two pillows to try and sleep. It looks like it hurts to me and makes me sad we can not do anything for him. I wish we could. :(

Pics of all 3 days so far...they told me the bruising would get worst as it comes to the surface.

Night of...
Sleeping in the car on the way to get daddy 3 hours after.


At the house after fighting him to change clothes...this has become my new challenge...dressing him with out hitting it or touching it.


close up of the starting of the bruise.

Next day after the doc. almost 24 hours later. bad swelling

top view..the camera did not capture the bruising under the surface that shows in just the right light

close up poor poor guy

Today...day 3 showing me it hurts to smile now

looking normal that eye is giving him problems with walking and doing stuff because of the limited vision from the swelling

Today after trying to play with the boys we watch the pain is getting to him...the new bruising coming up to the surface

eating showing me the blood in his nose and trying to open his eye wide

He is tired of me trying to take pics all the time..his face always looks pulled down on that side thanks to the swelling.

Will be a long recovery but hoping for the best and no infections please he needs to be better and someone needs to get him a bubble please!

Long time...

So sorry it has been so long. Here are some of the things my little babies have been up to...

Brezlyn had her first Birthday on Jan. 12!!! Can't believe that she is this big already!!! She loved the cake...LOL she dug in and eat so much of it and looked crazy with icing all over her face. She had a Bee party and my mom found a bee small cake and that was just for her. She then had a quick bath in moms sink and loved that even more. Now every time we run water in the sink she wants in to take a bath. LOL A few days latter on the 18 or so she started walking!!! OMG finally have one walk before 13 months. She loves it she still crawls more but is walking so good..I am one proud Mommy. I did get a little sad that she would not walk to me she took her first steps to Paisley. Paisley loved it and it was really cute to watch but I missed the sweet baby walking to me. Oh well she is walking and that is all that really matters. So Brezlyn is talking so well she amazes me every day and how smart she is blows me away. Love hearing her laugh and playing with big bro and sis. She fallows Paisley around all the time and I love this sister thing it is really sweet. (Cute story) Miss Bee has really learned to stick up for her self... On her b-day party Keyton was trying to take a toy from her. He was really pulling and she was getting really upset. He did get it from her and as he tried to run off she grabbed his pant leg and he went down. All I could do is laugh so hard. She crawled away like nothing happened. LOL she will be one tough girl.

Keyton is pretty much potty trained with some back wards movement but we are all but there. I am so happy that he is. He is happy and excited! He is the sweetest big brother and loves to feed his baby sis. He does not like to see her upset and is going to protect her so much and that warms my heart. He is so sweet and is learning his numbers and NOW he knows how to spell his name....All u do is say hey Keyton how do u spell keyton...He says...K-E-Y-T-O-N. I am so happy that he can do this at 2 almost 3. He is growing so much and is still just as big as his big sis. Good news his teeth are all great and never abscessed!!! SO excited about that. He does go back in this week just to make sure but for now it is looking like a perfect recovery. He had his first hand burger this last month, his first biscuit and grilled cheese. LOL poor guy but he loved them so much and was so excited and confused. With the hand burger he asked me how he eats it and then was so excited to be just like everyone else. He made up a fairy tale "Once upon a time Paisley was a tooter princess and she lived in a tooter castle." I was laughing so hard. Then Paisley added " it was on a tooter mountain where everyone toots all the time." Oh what they come up with

Paisley is getting big and so smart it is crazy. She can have adult conversations with me and Tryon to where u would never guess how old she is. She is really taking to learning sign language and Spanish. It is amazing...we told her the name of one of the workers at Rosa's new baby ( Azul) and she said they named her blue. I was so proud, she also wants to learn all the time ans ask question about everything and anything. She is also teaching Keyton every day when she gets home. She now carries Brezlyn around the house (it scares me) and they both love it. She helps out so much and loves helping bee get around the house. She will push her on the car or help her get on the jumping zebra. I love to watch them play and how sweet she is to her baby sis. I am enjoying it because I know it will not last long before Paisley does not want anything to do with her.

Loving my family and the adventures we are taking.

Heavy Heart

For those of you who still read this I am asking for some prayers. During this time of joy and holiday season my family has been hit hard. My cousins youngest girl Andi has been under going a lot of test lately because she has been extremely sick a lot this year. They are pretty sure (90%) that she has aggressive acute leukemia. She is going to Lubbock next week to run more test and see what they can do for her and start the proses of fighting. My cousin is having a really hard time with this because one its her baby, and two this girl was born on time (unlike the other two who were really preemie) and has not had the problems the older two have had. She is having a hard time seeing the why like we all do during these types of time. My heart is breaking for her and her family right now and I do not wish this on anyone. I know God can heal all and I know that this is a disorder that can be beaten. I am just asking for all the help of praying over this little girl as she goes through things that no one should have to go through. Thank you for your prayers and time...I will update when I can and know.
