What's a "meme?"

Whether you pronounce it "meme" rhyming with "cream" or "meme" as in "memory," it's all the same. In the blogging world, someone posts a list of questions on their site and then tags everyone else to answer those same questions. They are generally not multiple choice and hopefully encourage a little more creativity than a yes-or-no survey.









Sometimes you see a meme on someone else's site and even though you weren't tagged, you decide to post on your blog with the same list of questions. I saw this on someone else's site but I'm not going to mention any names.....RACHEL.









This is a meme with picture answers. The plan is to google (image) your answer and then pick one of the pictures from the first page of results. Here we go....









1. What age will you be at your next birthday?









ummm....click here....









2. Where would you like to travel?

3. Where is your favorite place?








4. What are your favorite pasttimes?

5. What is your favorite food?

6. What is your favorite animal?







7. What is your favorite color?







8. In what town were you born?



9. In what town do you live?



10. What is the name of a past pet?



11. What is your current pet's name?




12 What is your best friend's nickname?

You got me there.....

13. What is your nickname?



14. What is your first name?



15. What is a bad habit you have?





16. What was your first job?


Just kidding...I saw it and had to put in on there!!



17. What was your favorite job?



18. What is your grandmother's name?



19. What was your college major?

L now has 3 teeth...good thing because he eats about 4-6 jars of baby food per day. He needs more teeth to be able to eat "big people food". When we were at the doctors office for the ear infection Dr. Agolia said that he is working on 3 more.....poor little guy, just can't get a break!

Can you say PRICELESS....these are the oldest and youngest men in my life!

If you are keeping track....

I took L to Dr. Agolia today and he not only has one ear infection....he has TWO..........

Dr. Agolia says we don't qualify for tubes....we have to have one more within the next month.....gimme me a BREAK......

Santa's Cheating....

That is right....he is cheating on Mrs. Clause. Look below for the proof.

Love it....I went to check on her and this is what I found!!

Leaves, Leaves & more Leaves!

While I was raking up the leaves P had a very hard time controlling himself to stay out of the leaves...so today I let them have at it.....

by the way...it feels good to be back!! Thanks Em Lou!!!

Something Special about That!

Seriously...what was I thinking....ummm that last post said NOTHING about M, P & L like the title says.....





N*E*WAYZ (do y'all remember that?)





Mom had P a couple of weeks ago and he went to spend some time with Joe's (Joe is my step-dad, but often times refer to him and mom to "my parents" (there is a long story there)) dad; So that would be P's Great-Grandpa George (Papa George). My parents live less than 1/4th of a mile from them so we often will ride the golf cart there to see them and I guess P wanted to stay and help Papa George....these photos are priceless...

My kids are so blessed to have so many grandparents in the area

that they can spend time with!!!

M, P & L

Really it is already the 16th of NOVEMBER....I am not even going to check and see how many days until Christmas...it is so exciting, stressful, and fun at the same time. Christmas with kids is a whole new world. Especially if they are old enough to have fun with it. P will be a blast!! M is excited too and well, L it is just another day for him!

We are getting things in line to lay ceramic tile in the kitchen and do some things in our partially finished basement....the ceiling is not finished. So the goal is to change the lighting in the basement to some can lights?(I googled can lights and got nothing...sorry there is NO link), and then we are going to spray the ceiling a flat black. Our friends have this done in their basement and it looks really cool. Not to mention...this is in our price range!! :) Then we want to paint the walls, I am thinking a pastel green and pastel purple in the play room. With Chalk Board paint around the bottom. We would paint the rest of the basement a green or a tan color. In the other room we want to have an office/bedroom/living room....yeah I know a lot to fit in such a small area....but it is not that small. I want to put the TV in a place where you can view it from the bed and the couch, then I have my desk to put somewhere too....any ideas?

We are looking forward to the holidays....My Grandparents are going to be in town!! M loves to see Grandpa Ron with all the dogs!!! They have hunting dogs!!

I am out!! Have a great weekend....I am going to try to post more often so you can read about our kiddos!!

10 months....where has the time gone?

Happy 10th Monthday, L-Train!!

Love,

Daddy, Mommy, M and P

#70

Yeah, this is my 70th post. We have been so busy...

Good news about the furnace...it wasn't totally out...but the guy did tell us there is a good chance that it will go out within 5 years. It ended up costing us $75.00 to get it fixed. I was not here when it got fixed but apparently it was GROSS. I guess we should have it cleaned more often...

M has a new job that she is getting paid $2.00 for....

that is right she is picking up dog doo doo. And she even came to me today and said she wanted to do it...she must want to go shopping. That's my GIRL!!!

A BIG THANKS from L goes out to Rachel, his girlfriends momma. She made him the cutes blanket and he has quickly grown attached to it. THANKS RACHEL!! I LOVE IT!!!

P started school on Monday. Monday he threw 2 fits, Tuesday he threw 2 fits and today well today was a fit all day long. He was pretty good during the first hour then I think he was just really tired from the week.

The type of preschool he is in now is through Fort Zumwalt West High School. The high school students have to take child development classes and after 2-3 classes they can sign up for the lab. This is a class that the teacher selects the students so they are usually good students. P is 1 of 16 children in the class and there are about 5-6 student teachers in the class. I noticed on the "Topics to Discuss" list on the board in the classroom was PARKER. (I am sure that I totally confused some of you so I will take some photos and post them.) So I guess on Monday P's name will be brought up multiple times.

Do you really think this face could throw a fit??

boy are you WRONG....

Last but not least....here is some tongue from L!!

Happy Halloween % )

The Feagans' Family had a great Halloween. We started out the evening with McDonald's (which in my opinion could become a tradition on Halloween Night), then D got out the wagon and we loaded everyone up! Below is a slide of our photos!

Mommies little Pumpkin ;)

All 3 of my bundles of CANDY.....

My Dorothy and Bob the Builder

Ryan, Sara and I having a shredded paper fight.....it was EVERYWHERE!

A Week to Forget.....

OMGosh.......what a week from you know where.....

lets start with monday.....

d's grandma had surgery on her back. she is doing fine now and she is in delmar gardens rehabilitation program doing PT to get back at it....someone has to keep grandpa in line....btw....it is a truly beautiful place, i think she would stay if we let her. there are children there that can eat with the elderly and make them pictures....really cool for both the old and the young.

at some point....not sure when d's sister (the one who is in colorado) went into the hospital for her stomach pains. not too sure of all the details but i think the doctors think it is her gallbladder but they can't find any stones....so the insurance company will not remove it unless there are stones.....now really who are they to say if she should or should NOT have the surgery.....are they the ones in pain......i hope something bites those insurance people in the butt...

not sure if anything too big happened on tuesday....that could have been when K went to the hospital.....

so onto wednesday....which was my birthday....i had a great birthday! i hung out with a really cool girl....rachel and her daughter lorelai. we had lunch together and then well she had to go home for a nap....she didn't care for my room or the pack n play in it. we went to dinner with my parents and had endless shrimp at red lobster!! Below are photos of p looking at what he called bugs.....our waitress pulled a lobster out of the tank and p didn't want anything to do with it.....he just said "no bug"another bad thing happened on this day but i didn't find out about it until later so.....you will have to wait.....

thurdsay....our furnace went out.....need i say more?

friday....we had a guy over here working on the furnace and he pulled out about 7 hot wheel cars and a bunch of other stuff. M had her school "fall party" and she had a blast. they had an animal parade and she dressed up as a cat. she is awesome!

then i went to see lorelai's swimming lessons. she is in the "isr program" you can go to http://www.infantswim.com/ to find out more information. i am thinking about becoming an instructor. the cost is a lot but that out weighs the amount of children i could save. then friday night we went bowling

with our friends joe and kristen. the boys were with my mom so M had all of their attention. she loved it!

saturday....we were so excited that our furnace went out (NOT!) that we over whelmed with joy and went to go price a new one....and also look at ceramic tile. not sure if the ceramic tile will happen now that we have this bill from about $1200.00 from the furnace coming.....while looking at ceramic tile my brother called to tell me that my great-grandma passed away....so i called my mom to talk to her about the whole situation....she was my dads grandma. and i don't talk to my dad but did talk to my g-gma. when i talked to my mom she got online and looked up her information...come to find out she passed away on my birthday. she was my last great grandparent. she love to fish, she lived at the lake of the ozarks, she always had beautiful nails, she didn't think twice about telling you what was on her mind, she and i agreed very strongly on one thing.....but we won't go there. saturday night the low was in the mid 30's so we stayed at daniel's aunts house. she has a nice little set up for company down stairs with a bedroom, a bathroom, t.v., and little kitchen area.

sunday....we went to church and then we came back home. i had to get ready for the funeral and my mom was coming to pick me up. GOD is awesome, that really sums it up....i was all worked up about being at the funeral and my dad being there and all that humbo jumbo....but i was late getting back to the house so we got to the funeral about 10 minutes before it started and we were the first ones to be released to pay our final respect and then we left. i didn't even see him. so really i don't even know if he was there. then we were off to home team and then back to jamie's house for another night of sleep...

this leads me to today....i am at home waiting for the furnace guy to tell me if we have to replace the whole darn thing or not....it is about 64* in here and i just want to lay all bundled up and sleep....it is COLD.....

if you're the praying type you can pray we don't have to get a whole new furnace.....just expensive parts.....and that we have a better week......

BTW....the pumpkin photos are the ones we cut out! Aren't they cute!!

ENT....Ears, Nose and Throat

Yesterday at 4:40 L had an appointment with Dr. Agolia for a possible ear infection.....and as it turns out, he has ANOTHER ONE. So this means there is a very good possibility that L may go to see an ENT in the future.....

Dr. Agoila says that he knows that an ENT will NOT put tubes in at this point. P went from 4-6 months with a solid ear infection....Lincolns are a little different b/c his are being fixed with the medicine. So this time we are on a stronger antibiotic; Omnicef 1/2 teaspoon for 10 days.

Last night we cut up pumpkins....I have some of the cutes pictures of P. I will post them later for you to see!!

Until next time....please pray for an answer for the tubes thing (I would rather just do them because they have been such a positive thing for P), & the pain that the infection is causing L.

Reminder.....

Hey Guys.....

Just a reminder that I will be changing the privacy settings on November 1st. If you want to be added as a viewer just send me an email to jennifer.feagans@gmail.com and I will probably add you. I just want to check you out first!

I can't believe it is Monday, and surprisingly I am glad it is Monday. I miss my Monday - Friday schedule....I feel like I have things somewhat under control. :) Last week was an extremely busy week for me. It just seemed like everything fell into my lap at the same time. I had a foto shoot on Monday at 8 AM....of triplets and I nearly forgot about it....Tuesday was our anniversary (thanks for the wonderful cards and best wishes you sent our way), Wednesday Madison had dance and I had a "Vendor Night" with Jordan Essentials and Daniel Paige Photography. Thursday I had to find some time for me so I went to the Chocolate Cafe in O'Fallon for a thick cup of hot chocolate and some conversation with WOMEN ONLY.....that was nice....On top of all of that I had to get a video for church finished and to the church for the baby dedication Sunday. So I finally dropped off the video at 4:00 on Thursday and I was done..... Then into the weekend...Friday we went shopping for a wedding gift (yes the wedding was on Saturday). We went to William Sonoma and I found my birthday present!! I have thought about it all weekend. I even said last night before we went to bed....chocolate is all I can think about....I think it is my guilty pleasure.....But the wedding was beautiful, the reception was a blast!

Funny Note from the reception...
So when we get together with all of D's fraternity brothers the boys always get their photo together on the dance floor....well this time it was the wives!! GO GIRLS!!!

I gotta get ready to take M to school....ahh a schedule!!

Our Anniversary

So I was planning on making this fun slide with a bunch of our wedding photos on it and well....the week got away from me. Maybe we didn't make such a big deal out of it b/c we are not celebrating until the 7 & 8 of November.....maybe the slide will show then!! But here is one photo...







October 16th, 2004

I think God for bringing you into my life often!
