Birthday Party Pics

We had a blast!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHASE!! :)

Today is my man's birthday! He is 9 years old! Chase is a very sweet boy! He has the biggest heart. He doesn't like to see anyone upset. If Chase can figure a way to make some one happy he will. When Chase stayed at my mom's Saturday night, Papa let him cut the grass. He really enjoyed cutting it. They are staying the night there next Saturday too because Ronnie and I are having a date night, and Chase asked me if the grass will grow by then so he can cut it. LOL!

Happy birthday Monkey Do!! I love you!! :)

Weekend Update

We had the children's birthday party on Saturday. Everyone had an awesome time. Ronnie was giving all the children Go-Kart rides in the mud. Heather was taking pictures for me because I couldn't find my camera. Heather takes awesome pictures and she was more than happy to take them for me. Thanks Heather!! :) The rain held out for us Saturday. It didn't start raining until everyone was getting ready to leave. Taylor went home with Katina to spend the night. Chase and Kami went to my mom's to spend the night. After everyone left the birthday party, Ronnie went to paint a car for Randall. I was home by myself. I had a nice, quiet evening by myself. I couldn't tell you how long it has been that I have had an evening completely by myself. It was really nice.

Sunday, I went to my sister's to pick up the children. Taylor's horse show was cancelled again, so she rode Ace yesterday for a little while. She has another horse show scheduled on 4/19/09 @ Amber Hill.

When I get the pictures from Heather I will post some!

Thanks to everyone who came to the birthday party!! :)

Girls Sick AGAIN ....

This morning Taylor came in the bathroom while I was taking a shower and said Mommy I don't feel good. She said that she felt really dizzy and her throat hurts. I know she didn't feel good because she is a sleeper and I was in the shower @ 5:15 this morning. LOL! I told her to go lay back down and I would take her to the doctor this morning to get checked out. Then low and behold when Kami woke up she had gunk all over her eye. It was sealed shut. So after I got Chase on the bus this morning, we left to go to the doctors. Taylor was tested for strep throat and the flu. They came back negative. Taylor was running a fever of 100.7 and the doctor said that Taylor just has a virus. She needs to take Motrin and Tylenol every 3 hours. Kami was tested for strep throat as well and it came back negative, but she does have Pink Eye. Kami has to have drops put in her eye three times a day. My Aunt Joy and Grandma have them today for me. The girls were excited to be with them! That is a good thing! :)

Chase's baseball practice has been cancelled for today!! AMEN!!

Weekend Update

We had a nice and quiet weekend. We stayed in Cumberland all weekend! That was a really nice change. Saturday, the girls had to be at the softball field @ 2pm to meet the team and coaches and practice. They were really excited. It was nice seeing the friends that I made during Softball season too. The girls had a real nice team. They made them run around the football field twice. Kami was complaining of her legs hurting all day yesterday. LOL! Chase had his baseball tryouts Saturday @ 4pm. There were a lot of boys there. Chase had fun playing baseball again. He wants to be the catcher again this year, so we told him that he has to work for it. We aren't really sure where Coach David is going to put him. We will see what happens. But they are all excited about playing ball again. Hopefully Ronnie's work schedule will allow him to help me more.

Sunday we cleaned house ALL day long. Ronnie rearrange the living room to make it bigger. We are having the children's birthday party this coming up Saturday (3/28/09) and they are calling for rain, so now we will have the room if everyone has to come inside. Hopefully it will not rain.

I hope everyone has an AWESOME day! :)

Bragging Time .....

Last night after dinner I sat down on the couch for a minute. My mom called me and I was chit chatting with her for a few. Then when I got off the phone, I saw Chase standing at my kitchen sink WASHING DISHES!!! I was shocked and amazed. I didn't ask Chase to do my dishes, he just took it upon himself to do them for me. Isn't he a sweet child!! I love him! Well, to top that off, Taylor was MAD that Chase was doing her new chore. So, now I think I am going to rotate nights for them to wash dishes. Kami wants to get involved too, so I really need to figure that one out. Maybe I could have her dry the dishes!!??!! I know I have said it before, but I have some AWESOME children!! :)

It was also report card time this week. Taylor is on the Principal Honor Roll list (which is straight A's), Chase is on Honor Roll with all A's and 1 B, and Kami is on the Principal Honor Roll list (straight A's). Chase was in an inclusion classroom because he had a Developmental Delay. Chase would have issues with reading something to himself and not understanding what he just read. The teachers would have to read all his test and quizzes to him. Well, they stopped that because he no longer meets that requirement because he has progressed so much. The grading period before last he had A's, 1 B and 1 C. On this grading period he brought that C up to an A!! I am very proud of him. I know he was struggling at first adjusting to reading the test and quizzes to himself. I think he has done AWESOME!!

Growning Up ...

I couldn't believe that Taylor turned 10 years old. I just couldn't believe that I had a child in the double digits. LOL! But there are some good things about the children growing up. Taylor did the dinner dishes last night!!! :) :) That took a load off of me!! :) Taylor wants that to be her new chore. ROCK ON TAYLOR!! Every house that we have lived in I have NEVER had a dishwasher, guess what NOW I do!! LOL!

Thank you Tay!! I love you!! :)
