Have you ever been this embarrassed ??

Try taking your children to the mall play area and see if one of them pull their pants down!!
Yep, you read that correctly. I was sitting while watching Wendy and Evan play on all of the neat things they have there. One moment I lost sight of Evan and asked Wendy where he was and she said he was over by the car. Okay, I saw him...all was fine. Then I was watching Wendy and all of the sudden she came running and saying "Momma momma, Evan just pulled his pants down and I got my stuff and ran over to where he was. Sure enough he was standing there butt naked!!! Firstly I pulled his pants up really quick, but seeing all of the parents laughing/chuckling I said that is a cultural difference, and tried to laugh it off. Talk about embarrassment. I gathered both children up and got their shoes on. A mom said many have been in my shoes, and then told me the closest bathroom was in Sears. TOO LATE!! After pulling his pants up he peed. He was sitting on my leg so I could get his shoes on so guess who else got wet? With kids, and purchase in hand I got us out to the car as quick as I could.

Honestly, Evan has pulled his pants down here while outside a couple of times cause he had to go pretty bad. I would have never dreamed he would do that at a public place. Gee Whiz!!! He was not split pants trained. Evan was in a diaper for the whole 2 years he was at New Hope. For the 4 days he was with Shangrao SWI he must have been in split pants cause that is how they brought him to us. He has been potty training and is now 98% there. This was something else.

Luckily I think I can laugh at it tomorrow. LOL

Guang Hay Fat Choy!!!

A couple of days late.... This year Chinese New Year landed on Valentines Day. We ended up celebrating Valentines Day on the 13th and then enjoyed CNY on the 14th with some of our International Group here. We had fun, but it was so noisy in the Restaurant. Hopefully next year we can get it planned a little bit earlier so we can have a private place to where the kiddos can play and socialize.
It was so much fun seeing our friends and watching how Evan interacted with the other children. By the way... Evan ate quite his fill and made the Buffet suffer.LOL I have a couple of photos, but there are more on a new disk Mike started while there.


Any way.... I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.

Well we wanted SNOW....

but not this much. lol We have been totally snowed in yesterday and today. The kids are so bored and I have been trying so hard to keep them entertained. We have played blocks, Airport, Bristle Blocks, Dress Up, Nintendo Mario Kart, and a movie....oh, and some art work.
Evan even helped sweep and do laundry. Wendy chose to help with the dishes two days in a row. She is pretty good at it to.
The dogs haven't been able to go out to do their jobs at all. We have a huge drift of snow right at our back door and if they even got up on it they would likely sink in. Imagine two Chihuahua's and one Dachshund sinking down in three feet of snow. The drift that was the tallest on the back porch was near and over the BBQ grill and that was 4 1/2 feet.
Mike barely made it home after work yesterday. He was driving my Camry and had to be pushed some of the way. Once he got home he parked on the street curb. This morning he got a coworker to come by and pick him up in their in his four wheel drive truck.

I will post some of the snow photos tomorrow since I have two sleeping children to get off to bed.

Today would have been.....

My dad's 79th birthday. I know my mom is missing him today as she is everyday and especially on Sundays. She has told me it is so very hard for her on the weekends but especially on Sundays.

Happy Birthday Dad in Heaven. We sure miss you.

Today is my half a birthday and my dad and I always had a cake together. As I got older and married we celebrated my mom's birthday (Jan.5) and then Mike's (Jan. 22) and my dad's (Jan. 24). We miss doing this, but we have the wonderful memories of it.

Happy Birthday Sweetie....

Mike's 53 years young today! Man, where has the time gone??? He and I had a pact that we would never get old. lol Thus, we have adopted to stay young. hehe....
Poor thing woke up very sick today and has caught exactly what Wendy and Evan have had...a really bad viral cold with terrible cough. Thank you kids from school!!
I'm sure that is one present Mike would rather not have. lol

Anyway.... I love you, Mike!!!! Happy, Happy Birthday to you.

While I write this Evan is watching "Cars" and dancing along with the starting music. He is so dang cute!!!!! Gotta love him, and we do.

Evan and Wendy on Christmas Morning...... Holly's new puppy Gertie or also know as
Gertrude Eloise the little white terrier/King Charles spaniel mix.














Santa brought Evan a Lionel Super Chief!!!











Audrey Louise,
Lacy's puppy, wasn't thrilled with the little red hat. LOL




























These were the presents that my dad chose for Evan before he passed away; a set of cars and Tigger. He purchased them the day we talked to him on Skype while we were in China. You could just tell my dad was so excited to have a new Grandson! We missed him this holiday season. I do know my dad was looking down and enjoying Evan getting his presents.

Hi Everyone...

I am so behind.... I really am trying.
Let me first tell everyone that I'm changing the way you can leave a message. Don't be discouraged to comment on the posts. I have made it to where I can check them first and you have a word verification to add your message.
You see I have had a spammer put some Viagra adds and now one about Online Poker!!! I managed to erase the Viagra adds, but the Poker add I can't trash cause somehow they breached the system and the trashcan isn't below the add to where I can get rid of it!! Any advice on how to get it off? The only way I know to keep them from doing this is to protect my blog the only way I can without making it private.
If it comes down to me making it private I will let you know by putting a message on here. I need to change the address to it since the old one is still the Journey to Mylie Camille. Again that may take away some of my people since they are like family members and long distant friends who may not find out the new address.
If any of you have had this problem in the past please let me know what you did to get it fixed.

Momma it Kuh-nowed!!!

We woke up to the wind howling and the snow blowing. It was pretty frigid outside. Now grant you the snow isn't that deep, but Mike still had to work with the shovel this morning. The windshield was heavy with snow.

Before he actually headed out Evan woke up and said "Momma it Kuh-nowed"!! We laughed so hard. Wendy came in and he told her the same thing, but Wendy told him the correct way to say it. Evan then said "Snu-owed". LOL God love him.... he sure is trying. The one thing he can say plain as day is Santa Claus.

Holly's Graduation from Tech!

This is what we have been gearing up for this month. The nineteenth was Holly's Graduation from Texas Tech. She graduated Summa Cum Laude, and top GPA in her college. I only got a few snippets of video. Holly was the star of graduation. Quite cool to be first to enter the arena as Banner Barer for her College and first named for your diploma and not only this she was listed first for her GPA and then her whole name was said correctly all the way through....."Holly Leigh Erica L" Pretty cool!! We are so very proud of her.
I know that her Papaw was there watching over her. He said the day she was born that she was marked for GREAT Things!! He was so very right. We missed my mom being there cause she was home sick with a cold. Three family members were able to come....so happy that Lacy, Ganny and Uncle Lane could come.

Sorry the video clips are shaky. I had to hold Evan and he kept trying to take the camera from me. lol
