Civil War

I was trying to go to sleep one night and Micah suddenly rolls over and starts speaking Spanish. I think to myself, "Wow it's Spanish tonight." He usually speaks fluent German in his sleep, don't know how, but he does.) So I think nothing of it and snuggle down to sleep. Then he sits straight up, jumps off the bed and runs full force into the wall. (Think cartoons here- like when they run through the wall and leave a perfect outline in the wall.) and falls backward onto the bed, then hits the floor. He screams "Get down! Get the fuck down!" At this point I am sitting up in bed laughing my ass off.

I say, "Get down from WHAT!? We are in our bedroom." I am looking around wondering what in the hell is going on. Micah then is rubbing the carpet like he is looking for something and saying "Who the fuck hit me? Who hit me?" More giggling from me. So I yell at him to try to wake him up. Finally he peers over the bed and holds his head. He gets up and is shaking. Saying it was so real.

Apparently we were vacationing in Ecuador, I have absolutely no idea why we were there, and on the beach outside our hotel a civil war broke out. So when he was yelling to get down he was talking to us. And he was thinking whey didn't I bring my guns??? It was so real to him that he had to get up and go sit at the kitchen table and calm down for a bit. Oh and his head was ok, hurt a little the next morning. And I'm glad to report that there was no damage to my wall.

I never said they were the brightest....

Micah had just gotten home from work and we were sitting at the kitchen table talking. Gensen walks in and says, "I can make my face turn purple!" Then she proceeds to hold her breath. Like a few seconds later she falls onto the trash can, hits her head behind her ear on the counter, cracks the counter, finishes by falling onto the bag of dog food. So she is slumped over half in the trash can and half on the dog food. She let out a whimper on the way down. Micah and I just look at each other(while Gen is still passed out). He says, "Did that just really happen?" And I go down to see about her. I smack her lightly on the cheek and she says "What? What happened?" I said, "You held your breath til you passed out idiot! Don't EVER EVER do that again!"

Micah and I are still in the kitchen wondering if that really happened. And Livi walks in still laughing at Gen. So she decides to be a comedian and reenact what Gen did. On the way up from the floor she hits her head hard on the upper cabinet and falls to the floor. Micah and I look at each other and both say "I give up".

Wow

So....been quite awhile since I've been here. I so don't know where to begin...

Recently we got a playhouse for Saige, it's actually a HUGE crate from Micah's work. Saige and I painted the inside pink and she wants the outside blue. Micah still needs to cut out the window and put doors on it. At first he was talkin about making a bar with tractor seats, now he is just going to put in a bench seat. I so like the first idea better.

Also.....I decided to take the plunge and start my own photography business. Kami Madison Photography. Real original name right?! I tried to come up with something creative. Wildwood Photography.....Star...but it just didn't work. So I just stuck with that. Simple. Kind of like me. I will be doing photo shoots on location. I don't have a studio, anyone can do studio pictures, I love the outdoors and so that is what I am doing. Plus it's less of a start up cost. ;o) I am really feeling insecure about this all. What if I'm not good enough or what if no one likes my photos, or if no one hires me!? *sigh* just one of my flaws, I always over think stuff. Makes me more worried than I need to be. All I need to do is believe in myself and promote my business and all should be good. Right?

Saige's first movie

Sunday we went to see New Moon. Saige has never went to the movies, well except the drive in, but I don't count that. I had been debating for weeks on whether to take her or not. I didn't know if she would sit still through a 2 hour movie, or if she would get bored, want to pee all the time, ect... So I kept asking her and of course she kept saying yes, so I told her that she would have to sit still and be quite, other people were in there to watch the movie and not hear her.

She did remarkably well. She did have to get up and go pee, and of course that was when Edward was leaving Bella. GRR I missed some of that, the first part. Oh and when Jake took off his shirt for the first time she got up out of her seat and ran down to Brittany(cousin's 13 yr old dd) and said really loud, "Brittany! Did you see THAT?" Of course the people in front and behind us were crackin up. And when they were at the Volturi, she came and sat on my lap. I don't think she liked the beating Edward took. Saige is totally Team Jacob though. After the movie was over she kept saying that Jacob is hot. She so wants to go see it again. Maybe we will. ;)

Now I have to say that New Moon rocked! I liked it soooo much better than Twilight. I don't know if it was the new director, the bigger budget, whatever, but they need to keep on doin what they are doin. Bella "seeing" Edward was a little cheesy, I would rather of heard him. I'm also glad, (what little we saw of him) that Jasper didn't look all constipated this time. My only disappointment, well disappointments, were that we didn't see Emmett that much, so need to see him, and the ending. How can they leave me hangin like that? I know, I know it's like that in the book, but still! Give me a little, just a little....

Now I need June to get here pretty darn fast!!! Eclipse June 30, 2010!!!!
Oh and I need to find Saige a Team Jacob shirt.
Gen loved it as well, and so did Livi.

I am such a bad, bad blogger! I'm going to try to get on here more, even if it's just a sentence or two.

I'm now done with my first term at Kaplan. Just need to take the Accounting I final. Then I get a week break and on to Accounting II and Composition II. It's going good, just not as fast as I want it too. I want to be done NOW so I can get a job. Should have done this a LONG time ago.

The girls are good. Normal everyday stuff here. Saige got an airplane swing. We are slowly building a tree house. While we were doing that one day, she was on her swing and the thing just fell apart. She smashed her little fingers on the way down. Luckily she wasn't going that fast or high.

We got another puppy, (have I mentioned this?) he is a Rat Terrier. Buck. Doing ok, but he needs to stop eating my walls! His owners had to get rid of him, so we took him, or he would have gone to the shelter.

Speaking of puppies, Saige was on you tube, and was supposed to be watching Dora. Well, she somehow wound up watching something with puppies that just broke her heart. She was so upset, kept saying we needed to save the puppies and take them home. So, the only thing that would calm her down is me telling her that we would take stuff to the puppies at the shelter for Christmas.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week! This year has FLOWN by! In about 2 weeks I'll really be stressing about Christmas.

Alright, Micah is out hunting and I really should be straightening this house up, so I better get off of here and do something.

Welcome Fall!

I so missed summer. Really wasn't a summer at all with all the cool temps we got. But I think if it's going to be cool, bring on Fall! I can't wait to get to the pumpkin patch and see the leaves change and get to the lake for girls weekend!

Serious change here...I started school again. I am so excited! The first day is the 16th so that is coming up FAST!!! My plan is to get my Associates by Dec. 2010, then get a job and start my Bachelors. Saige will be super dooper happy if I get a job cause she will get to go to school too. I was telling Gen and Livi that I was going back and Saige freaked out! She wants to go bad!

Not much else is going on here. Saige's party went great. Well after all the eating was out of the way. Way more people showed up than I thought, so glad we had enough food! She got a ton of clothes, $55(that she already spent on more clothes and a DS game) and a couple of toys. She was so happy that it was finally her birthday! Now I'm hearing about Christmas.....

Random stuffs

I did it again, we got another puppy. I said I would never go through the potty training terror we had with Bacon, but here I am. His name is Jake, after Twilight and Saige's imaginary brother. :) He is an Italian Greyhound, or Iggy/IG for short. My dear cousin Kim got the ball rolling on this. They and my other cousin Jen's family were over one Saturday and started looking at puppies online. Well, Kim wound up with a Morkie named Jasper, and Jen wound up with a Pug named Frank. Jake is actually turing out to be a very good puppy. Just a few accidents after the first week and he now goes to the door sometimes when he has to go out. Saige just loves him and he loves her. Sometimes. When she isn't toturing him. Just this morning I heard Jake barking (he hardly ever barks) and he was in Saige's room trying to wake her up. LOL

We went to the lake over the weekend. Chris came home! YAY! Good to see the boy. We just went down to hang and get some work done so we wouldn't have to do it all Labor Day weekend. I can not wait for girls weekend in October! I love the time away with just my girls! (big girls) :)

Not much else is happenin here. Girls went back to school. Gen is in a new bigger one, she seems to like it alright. She's trying out for Chimes and Choir. Hope she makes at least one. I'm slowly getting ready for Saige's birthday bash. She is doing Hannah Montana this year. Got the cake ordered and all the stuffs bought. Her presents included. Got her the HM movie and 2 outfits. She is finally into 3T clothes. Well the length not the waist. So I have to make sure that all her pants are adjustable or have some really good elastic around the waist.
