I just ordered a camera to keep in my purse, a case, a memory card, and a memory card reader for it. :S
I have a really NICE camera, but it's a Canon Digital EOS Rebel, so it's HUGE. Plus it doesn't take video and the digital video camera I bought sucks. It was cheap, I got it during black friday a couple of years ago. So I got the new camera for those times when I can't or don't want to take my big bulky camera with me.
In other news, Lilly and Aidan had their first soccer games last night. I watched Lilly's with Delilah and Kale watched Aidan's with Sophia. Wednesday we will switch. It was too cold though and now Delilah has a stuffy nose. She's also teething again, which makes her oh so pleasant.
Back to the game. Lilly played goalie for the first 15 mins, she stopped every shot (3) from going in. One of them she stopped with her forehead. It was hilarious. I was very impressed she didn't roll around on the ground crying. She shook it off quite well, not even a tear. The rest of the game she played forward, she did well trying to keep up with the other kids. But she is not a runner, especially for distance. But overall I was very impressed, there is hope she will not become her father's daughter athletically. SIDE NOTE: I would never say any of this near her or around her, I always tell her she is doing great. As long as they try their best I am proud.
I will get the stupid SD card from my mom tonight so I can finally tell about the game.
Oh yeah, my trashy cousin who was knocked up at 16? (I am in no way saying every girls who gets pregnant at 16 or younger is trashy, my cousin just happens to be one that is) Yeah she's in jail. Guess what for? FELONY child endangerment. This is the second time she has been caught by her mother leaving her son alone in the apartment while she and her 33yr old boyfriend went to the bar to drink. First off, she is 19 now and the baby is 2, so she can't drink and he certainly should NEVER be left alone. The first time my aunt caught them leaving him alone she didn't call the cops, so stupid I know. My mom did call anonymously to CPS and report it and they said they'd "look into it". Well that never happened. My aunt kept him for a month and my husband and I were going to try and convince my cousin to let us adopt him.
Well she came back and did a song and dance for my aunt and she bought it. She said she'd keep her eye on them and had been, so we backed off. But this weekend it had been a few weeks since she had checked in the middle of the night, so she did. The house was all lit up with lights, but no one answered. She heard Noah wake up and cry, then fall back to sleep. So instead of calling the cops right then, she was stupid and went to the bar to confront them. She demanded they take her back to the apartment, they did and she took the baby and called the cops. The cops came and arrested them and they have been in jail since Friday night. They saw the judge yesterday and were formally charged with felony criminal endangerment and a misdemeanor child endangerment. Their bond is at $20,000, so she will stay in jail until the trial. My aunt and uncle have temporary custody for 3mths until her trial. I just have no clue where she came from, this is not what my family, HER family is like. Kale wants to try and get the baby again, but I don't know if she would give up rights or if my aunt would agree it's the best, again.
Any opinions or advice?

OMG, this breaks my heart. Does your cousin have a drinking problem or is she just reckless and a horrible mom? If she has a drinking problem, then she's a little beyond any advice I can give at this point - she needs professional help and maybe your family would benefit from Al-Anon or something similar.
If she's just a partygirl with a screw loose, then some time in the slammer just might do her good. What is she thinking??? ANYTHING could happen to that poor baby, within minutes, seconds... How selfish is she?! Maybe it'll be easier to convince her to give at a minimum temporary custody with supervised visitation - I doubt someone as selfish as she sounds would be willing at this point to award adoption. Good luck and God bless!
We thought she was drug addicted, but she passed the urine test my aunt gave her. But she was testing her for cocaine and pot only, and coke only stays in your system for 3days I believe it said. She does drink a lot.
The guy she is with is a major loser, he's 33 and never had a job. His family is rich and pays for everything he needs/wants. He's not the baby's father, we don't know who is. We know it wasn't him because she moved from VA to MT during her pregnancy and just met this guy last year. They are engaged and really have no business being so.
She is selfish, but she was raised to be so. That's one of the reasons we don't want my aunt and uncle to raise him. They haven't done a stand up job with their own kids, they have no business raising anymore. I love my aunt, but she was trying to be my cousins friend first, mother never.
i am worried she will be so selfish and not even think of her son and how she really doesn't even want him. I hope since she respects me and has always looked up to me, she will let me adopt him. But she is so not herself anymore, so I am not sure what to think anymore.
i feel so bad for that little baby. could you imagine what he must be thinking and wondering if he woke up in the night to no mommy. that is so scary... not to mention all the dangers there are for leaving a 2 year old or any child home alone... he could get into so much trouble himself and what about all the other things, like fire, robbery... if he started choking or threw up or even just had a bad dream... as at age 2 my son was able to open doors, my daughters too actually, what if he let himself out of the house/apartement... OMG... i cannot believe how effing stupid some people are... it is beyond scary that just anyone can have a baby. I hope they do take him away from your cousin she doesn't deserve to have a child and he deserves a LOT better of a life than the one he has now.
I don't see why anyone wouldn't agree to you and Kale having custody of this little guy. Look at the wonderful parenting you are doing with Lily, Aidan, Sophia & Delilah... he would be with family and in a family that truly acepted him and loved him 100% and unconditionally.... he wouldn't be bounced around from foster home to foster home, or with strangers... he would be in the loving arms of wonderful people.
I vote that you and Kale get to raise this little man, but make sure you get custody... other wise that reckless witch could just come back at anytime and get him back...
whatever happens,
I hope that little boy is taken care of the BEST way possible and that would be w/ you in my opinion and what i know of the story....
and I hope your cousin gets some help and some counseling and most of all does NOT have any more children.
best of luck and lots of HUGS!!!
