Funny Ty

This is my sweet baby Ty-Ty. I love him to death. These pics are just of him having fun and showing off a little bit of his funny personality. Ty is 19 months old and he is so hilarious. He makes us laugh every day.
In this first pic he is wearing Kinley's granny glasses from the day she had her eyes dilated. The second pic is him getting finger paint all over himself. Forget painting on paper what are bodies for!! Pic number three is him being impatient. Come on now the boy needs to eat! The next one is my favorite! We were grocery shopping and he just couldn't handle it anymore.....he had to sleep. We made soft pillows out of paper towels and mop sponges. Priceless. The last pic is of him sleeping with a football. Ty loves sports of all kinds and if he sees a ball forget it, it will become his.

Lin's Meat Sale!!!!

Check this out! On Saturday Lin's had a meat sale. It was awesome! I'm sure we got more than we should have but it feels so good, as a Mother, to know that your freezer is full and your family will be able to eat for months.

My freezer has never been this full in my life! The two bottom shelves and the drawer are all full of meats. We got 40 pounds of chicken breasts, it was only sold in bulk boxes. We got 13 pounds of hamburger, a package of pork chops, 4 packages of bacon, country style ribs, spare ribs and 2 roasts! Talk about a hook up!!! All of this cost us less than we normally spend on just chicken and hamburger for 3 months and we will be eating this for at least 6-8 months.

Getting it figured out!

Thanks friends for all of your help. I got some great advice from you about how to add more friends to my blog. I do have to admit I am a visual person so my friend Cyndi came over and helped me yesterday. Thank you soooo much Cyndi!! You are the best friend ever! She showed me how to cut and paste the addresses and it is super simple, I'm just computer challenged. I can't wait to check out what's going on with all my new friends!

Help!!

Okay Blogger friends I need help. I am still learning this whole blogging thing and I'm computer illiterate so.....help me!!! I don't know how to add friends to my links. The few I have someone else added for me. So any advice would be very welcome. Thank you!

Glasses

I didn't realize I hadn't posted pics of Kinley's glasses yet. She looks like a little orphan in these pics but her glasses are super cute on her! Notice the attitude change in the two pics. She HATES her eye patch. She does love the glasses though so once her eye is corrected it will be all good!

Patch and Stools

I know it has been forever since I have posted. McKinley is starting to get used to her glasses and eye patch. We had to go buy bandage eye patches because she kept cheating with the felt one. She would pull her glasses down and look sideways out the patch. Now she likes the patch because there are 5 different patterns to choose from so it's fun to pick a new one every day. I'm hoping she can quit wearing it in about 3 more weeks. That is when we get her re-evaluated. Wish us luck!!

The pictures I have posted are of my new yard sale find! I have started yard saleing and I think I'm getting addicted. It is sooo awesome to find a treasure you have been wanting or looking for and only have to pay a small price for it! I found these awesome bar stools and it only cost me $5 for all three of them!! Awesome! I have wanted stools for a long time now but never wanted to spend the money for them. My kids LOVE them too! They eat every meal on them. They also like to sit on them and help us or watch us cook. What a great find!!

Eye Doctor Appointment

Today we spent 3 hours at the eye doctor. I noticed about 2 or 3 months ago that Kinley's right eye wonders a little bit. So today we finally went to the eye doctor. Kinley was AWESOME! She did really good until they put drops in to dilate her eyes. One of the attached pics is her dilated eyes. They are totally black.

When they were checking her eyes I wanted to cry. I had to cover her left eye (the good eye) with my hand while they tested the right eye. She would move her head all around and say she could not see the object they were showing her. I seriously thought there for a minute that she was blind in that eye.

After more testing it was determined that she is EXTREMELY far sighted. As objects move closer to her face she cannot see them and her eye starts to wonder. This is called "Lazy Eye". She has most likely had vision problems since infancy. Seriously, am I that bad of a Mother? I didn't even notice until she was 3.

Next week McKinley will have to start wearing her glasses with a patch on the left eye to strengthen her right eye. I feel so sad that we have to cover her beautiful face and eyes with glasses. The eye patch is really cute and will eventually be removed but she will be in glasses the rest of her life.

I couldn't resist attaching a picture of her in her sexy grandma shades. She hated wearing those things and was begging to go home so she could take them off. Next week I will post more pics of her in her new glasses. McKinley I love you with all my heart. You are an amazing kid that I can learn a lot from. Thank you for being such a good girl to your Mom and Dad!! We Love, LoVe, LOVE you!!!
