Caught Up?!

Maybe, this post will catch us up! I ended with our trip to Florida and Pine Cove. That means, I only have January and the first 10 days of February. That seems doable!

UPWARD
Eric is playing basketball with his best buddy Grayson!



Jessica is playing basketball for the first time. She is definitely improving with each game.



Jaelyn is enjoying cheerleading again.


It Snowed!!!
I grew up with plenty of snow, so I really don't need to see it now! However, for the kids' sake, I do enjoy a good snow.




We got a new trampoline for Christmas. That was one of the best decisions we've made. The kids are always out there!



We have a couple of pet lizards! One Jaelyn found in a friends backyard so we brought it home (lovingly named Lizzie). The 2nd one, that same friend found one in our backyard. Her mom and dad weren't so adventurous so we said we'd 'foster' Luke! When it gets warm, they will be released as Jaelyn really wants a hamster. This picture is Luke (Jaelyn is holding him). The 2nd picture is of our sweet friend Caris holding Lizzie.


Jaelyn was bit by a cat! The good news, it was a friend's cat, so we knew we didn't have to worry about rabies or anything like that. The bad news, it was right by her eye. The bite didn't really look bad, but we took her to the doctor just because of the location of the bite.


I'll end my catch up post with more snow! It snowed again in February and the kid's always have fun playing in the snow! Thanks for reading my catch up blog! I'll try to keep a little more current!

Freaking out right now, BUT I know she's okay so no need to freak! Did you know a cat bite can be deadly? Doesn't matter about rabies. They have loads of germs in their mouths! Caroline was at risk to loose her eye when she was 2. She had major antibiotic shots and her cheek swelled like you wouldn't believe. It was REALLY bad! We were terrified and she was in pain for several days. I am happy this did not turn out this way! I will have to post pics of her bite sometime. Oh my goodness!

I could tell the bite wasn't real bad (it wasn't deep at all), but I do know that cats have really icky germs. So, we took her to the doctor. She didn't have to have any shots, but just finished up her antibiotic! i didn't want to mess with it because it was right by her eye!

Good to see you today! Cha-ching!! (and I mean that in the most loving way!! :) )

Back to Updating! It's now June!

Image
Since July has passed and now it's August, I thought it's about time to update the goings on from June! Ready, set, go! We signed the kids up for tennis camp. It's a fun way to be exposed to tennis for little amounts of money! Annual swimming lessons. The kids are pretty good at swimming - but we just like to keep improving upon their skills. We went to the Adrian Peterson football camp in Tyler. It was very hot, but Eric had a lot of fun! We were invited to go boating with some friends! The kids had a great time tubing and trying their hand at skiing. Had fun with friends. Our friends, the Taylors came to visit! And, hopefully you have made it this far, as the the most important part of June - my first born turned 11. Oh my - where does the time go? Thanks for reading about our month of June! See you in July!

Mom

I can't believe it's been a little over 10 years since I last posted. Sometimes I wish I would have kept up with the blog, it's a nice record of the time! A lot has happened in those 10 years, but I'm here to document my mom! It's been 12 years since my dad died. Overall, my mom has done really well. She stayed in her own home for about 6 years and then she moved to an independent retirement community. Although she didn't like it at first, she made some great friends and I believe thoroughly enjoyed living there. The last two or three years have been tough on her. Her health has declined somewhat, she uses a walker, has aches and pains, and has taken several falls. She's been so fortunate that none of those falls have resulted in any broken bones and overall, she's recovered well from them. However, this last fall that she took, has taken its toll on her. She fell out of bed on Friday, October 8th. She was unable to contact anyone until the following mor...

We Interrupt The Blogging Update . . .

Image
for a current blog post! I had the privilege of going to Fort Hood this week to see my cousin off to Iraq. For several reasons, her mom and dad were not able to come down (Hannah went up to see them the weekend before) and since we are only 4 hours from Fort Hood and family is everything to me, I couldn't let Hannah be deployed without family present. I am so proud of her for choosing to serve our country! It was a very heart wrenching experience. I cried at the thought of Hannah being over there and it was terribly sad to see husbands and wives and fathers and children saying goodbye. Please remember all the troops in your prayers! Here are some of the pictures. I think Eric and Jaelyn were a good distraction! They didn't think the duffel bags were so heavy! However, I'm sure they wouldn't like to have to carry both at the same time along with several other things! Pictures of Hannah with the kids and me: Hannah getting Jaelyn some water. We stood out in the ...
