34

Yesterday was my Birthday. 34 years old! It seems that once you hit 25 the years go by faster and faster. I am NOT having a hard time with 34, I had a hard time with turning 30. However, I can't say right now that I will have an easy time with 35! I had a really good day. Ali made me breakfast before work and school, I got taken to lunch and Dian and Herbie took us all out to dinner at Isabella's and she made me her yummy chocolate cake! I got a really nice watch from Dian and Herbie, a Tricolor cow hide rug from stephen, a very cute cross and FAMILY plaque from Lovie and Cautro, and some jewlery and picture frame from my momma and I got a really cute Coach Wristlet from my BFF Kari who lives in Houston. GOt lots of cards and texts wishing me a happy birthday! Thank You everyone for the Birthday Wishes!!!!


Proof that Peyton IS watching his "reading" DVD's. He recognizes 2 words and is bored and wants to move on to the Next DVD.

What A Day!!!!!

Today started off very early... 5:00 am early. Peyton and I went to Angelo for his pedi appt. Dr. Wehner just referred us to West Texas Rehab, so now we wait for them to call US for the appt. He thinks that there is nothing wrong with his hearing but just wants to make sure and then they will do a speech eval too.

Then we went to target to look for some throw pillows for the couch.. I got some Brown and cream Zebra print pillows for the couches from ebay a few weeks ago and I wanted to add a deep red pillow to the mix. I also got some curtains and a new rug for the kitchen.

We went to the Mall to look for Ali a dressy dress for the Quince she is going to in March-Praise God we found one, and of course she isn't happy with it =(

Looked for Track spikes EVERYWHERE! WHy I Didn't think of Academy first off is beyond me, but that place was the only place that had them and had the smallest size, a size 4! Yea!! So, we marked that off our list.

Had to drop off Rx and wait on them.

Got my oil changed and car washed then...

Went to HEB for groceries and FINALLY ate lunch at 3:00.

I am so tired and Peyton was a whirlwind today! Um, ok maybe whirlwind was being nice.. he was an F5 Tornado! Just wanted to update on his appt!

Good Night!


P.S. Peyton can recognize two words so far with his BABY CAN READ DVD's.. Elephant and eyes!

Out of the Mouth Of My Son!

Here is a little Funny for you that Peyton did last week..

Peyton has been picking up some Not so Nice words at day care from the older kids that come after school. Some of you reading this might be appalled and what I am going to say because of some "words" I use.. But I promise, you will see the funny side of it when I am done.

*** Disclaimer** There may be some words in here that might be offensive to others...

Let me set the Scene- Ali and Peyton are watching a movie in his room last weekend, Stephen and I are watching FireProof in the living room, BTW, that is a must see movie for all married couples, anyhoo, I hear Ali telling Peyton," That was not nice, we don't say those words." I think she repeated it several times and then I see her making her way into the living room to tell me just what My son had said..
"Mom, Peyton said, Oh My freakin Balls.." While picking my jaw up off the floor I said, " I will handle it when I hear him say it again." Nothing else said the rest of the night or the next day...

Sunday we are cleaning P's room and he says it! Not once, but 3 times!!! I told him how we don't talk like that, it's not nice and if you say it again there will be consequences.. So an hr later he was punished and He hasn't said it again..

So, Sunday evening- we are snuggling on the couch and he says, I love you, I say I love you too! He says I love you more and I say no, I love you more ( this is our little ritual we have) and he says, I love you T*ts!! Can I just say that I about lost it! From what he had said earlier in the weekend to this, All these things were going through my head like what are these kids saying and OMG I was floored! Stephen asked him if Mommy had some of these and he said Yes, and he said where are they? thinking he would point to my chest, He said In the Garage! We Laughed so hard!!! He was trying to say TENT!!!! I was relieved!! I told him he needed to start using better pronunciation or when he got to school the teachers would wonder what we taught our kids!!!

So I said all that to say this.... He told me the other day that he couldn't hear out of his right ear. He had wanted the Movie in the car to be turned up really loud, it was already very loud! He said he coudln't hear it. Stephen has noticed that he is turning his tv up in his room really loud and he says Huh? and What? a lot. His speech is also very hard to understand at times by me and others. So now I am wondering if these two things, Hearing and his speech are related. We have a Dr. appt tomorrow with his Pediatrician to see if there is an issue with his hearing and address his speech. I will keep you updated!

Gotta Get Back to Work!!!!

Happy Valentines Day!

I am writing this as I lay in bed sick! Ugh! I hate being sick!! I am not real sure what I have but it includes a bad cough, sore throat, runny and stuffy nose and a horrible headache and neck pain. Ali is playing nurse and being so sweet! She made chocolate chip waffles this morning with bacon and coffee and has been taking care of Peyton while I sleep. So far I guess everyone has had a good day.. Stephen just took Peyton out to the golf course for a little while so I guess I will go back to sleep!

Lots of Love!!!!

I still can't believe she will be in High School next year.. Momma ain't ready!!!

Secret Sister, Reading and Track

I am so excited to have gotten some things from my secret sister yesterday!!

This is something that the ladies at the Church do in Sheffield and this year I decided to put my name in. This goes on for a year I think... I am so excited about the person that I got too!

Here are some of the gifts I received yesterday at work...

I got a really pretty necklace and earrings for an early b-day gift. They are my birthstone and I got a box of chocolates and a desk Calendar... I also got a really sweet card and book mark a week or 2 ago!



Another little thing that came yesterday was this...




Ok, So I might be a sucker for these infomercials but this really got my attention one morning. So I looked into it and ordered it up! If you haven't heard about this or haven't seen this on TV this program helps teach your baby of any age to read and since Peyton will be starting Pre-K in the fall I thought it might help! So, we started on it last night. He seemed to be into at first but then lost interest towards the end.. he cant' still for too long. I Thought Great! This isn't going to work but then I read the Parent's hadnbook and it has answers to this very problem! After church we worked on Flash cards and he really liked that! Everything however was an "H". THis morning we watched it on the way to school and when he had to get out of the car he started crying because he wasn't through "reading". The first month they are supposed to learn 20 or 30 words. I will keep everyone updated on his progress as we go through this.

Another new thing that is happening at the Langohr house is Ali doing track. Basketball is over and now on with track! This is her first time participating in this event. I have been informed that she will be doing the High Jump, Pole Vaulting and running either the 50 or 100 yard dash. That's my Girl!!! This ought to be a fun few months!!!

Why?

I know you are not ever supposed to ask God Why when something bad happens..
But Why did this precious little baby girl, who is 10 months old, have to get cancer? Why did Jesus take her home so soon?? My heart is breaking right now! I don't understand and I know we aren't supposed to understand these things.. I was reading a blog that I follow regulary and there was a prayer request on there to pray for Cora's family. Cora passed away on Feb. 7th or 8th from Cancer. The parents just took her in for repeated ear infections and then found this! Life can change on a dime and it's so important to remember those that you love. I hold my children a little bit tighter tonight and tell them over and over how much I love them. It just seems that here lately every time I see a prayer request it is about a baby who is sick or a young child. BReaks me heart! I can't even see the words as I type this.. I am so sad for this family. I am so glad that baby Cora isn't hurting anymore and she is resting in the arms of Jesus. Please keep this family in your prayers tonight and for the days to come.

I Wish the Wind Would Blow....

just a little bit more! Goodness! I think I just saw a small dog blow across the front porch! My 3 dogs are wind blown and stuck to the fence! Ok, so not really, but almost! I Think we are in for some storms this evening.. I love a good storm! Nothing severe, just some thunder and rain, Lord knows we need the rain.

Mom, if you read this, I know what you are thinking. She likes Storms?? Ha!

When I was younger, maybe around 7 or 8 when it would storm I would sneek into my sisters room and pull her out of bed, and when I say pull, I mean I literally had to pull her from her bed because she would hang on to the bed posts screaming, NO! I don't want to go to your bed! Seriously? how could a 3 or 4 year old protect me from the storms? Maybe I just liked the feeling of her being there or maybe I thought that if A tornado were to come then I would at least have someone with me when it swooped me up and took me off to Munchkin land...

If the wind is blowing like this in February I don't even want to know what it will do in March!

Urbanovsky Twins.. Paige and Hunter

I just love me some babies!!! I belive Paige is on the left and Hunter is on the right. I can't wait to meet them when I am in Houston in May!!

My Best Friend, Kari, is a proud Aunt to Twin Girls! THey were born 02/02 and are just precious.

Where do the weekends go?

The weekends just go by too fast! By the time Monday gets here I am exhausted! ha!

This weekend we had to be quiet since stephen was working nights and sleeping during the day. Now, tell me, how easy is it to keep a three year old quiet? Not easy at all. Bless his heart, he just doesn't understand why? Ali and I took him to the Park on Sunday. Sister loaded him up in his wagon and I grabbed Camo to take for a walk and off we went. We hung out at the park and made our way around to Dinny the Dinosaur.. AKA Daisy.. That's what Peyton calls him. I can't believe this is our first time to visit Dinny! Peyton loved it! He can't wait to go back and see "Daisy". I have pictures, they were taken from my phone so I don't know what kind of quality they will be but I will load them and post them in a little while.

Here is Peyton in his wagon. As you can see he can't go anywhere without Spike!








Then of course there was the Super Bowl. I am not a big football fan and no plans to watch but Ali on the other hand was READY!! She was rootin for the Steelers so you can imagine the excitement around here when they won! I never thought I would give birth to someone that enjoyed football as much as she does! I know, How UnAmerican is it to not like football! Ok, So I like watching the Braves =).

TOnight ALi has a ball game- they lost but that's ok She had a good time. Her last game is next Monday against McCamey in McCamey.

Received some good news today. A friend of Mine and Stephen's, their son was going through some testing and PRaise God everything came back clear!!! Whew! Thank you Jesus!

I guess I need to go fix supper..

Is if Friday yet???
