Does it ever end?

That is what I have asked myself over and over....I still havent put up all the Christmas stuff...I have every intention to put up the BIG tree on Tuesday..Bert has to work so I will get Harper and Annellise to help..We had to go on and take down the real tree, it was DEAD and made A BIG mess..Annellise and I went to Wal Mart after church because I needed a plastic container to put coloring books in.. I cleaned out the art corner in our kitchen and threw away a very large black garbage bag full..the kids were outside with Bert so they had no idea..ha....Annellise got a new art table and art stuff so I had to make room for that..I also needed new throw pillows for my couch, we got a new rug and it has no burgandy in it so I HAD to get new pillows to match...I also did a little rearranging in the loving room...so actually I did get something done..Mom and Dad are keeping all the grandchildren tommorrow night and Bert, Alli, and Kyle are going out on New Years Eve...I havent been out since I had children..does that make us old? We are going to Bone Fish and I love Bone Fish....I am sooo excited! Oh well now I have 2 birthday parties to plan for and Valentines Day..I love Valentines Day! it is probobly my favorite "holiday"

Christmas

Its hard to believe its almost 2008--this year has flown by..We had a wonderful Christmas holiday..On Sunday we woke up and went to mom and dads, we saw what "santa" brought us and ate a wonderful dinner..I was so excited to get some new luggage--yeah! since Bert and I married 10 years ago we have never had matching luggage, it was just a collection of the both of ours..my new luggage is red and black and I LOVE IT----thanks mom and dad.....Annellise got an American girl doll that looks like her, she has little freckles and is so cute..I have to get ready now and change the dolls clothes in addition to the kids..ha....The kids got some new clothes too..Harper got a MP3 player and LOVES it...when we went to Raanne's house on Monday, Trevor downloaded lots of songs for him, he thinks he is soo cool..ha
On Monday we left early that morning and went to the Delta..we stopped by Inverness and saw grandaddy Bell and then we went to Skene to visit Grandma Mable and Billy---then on to Cleveland..We had a wonderful meal and then spent to afternoon opening presents..we had a great time and had fun visiting and getting love from my sweet niece Presley...she is so sweet and is the Best baby....
When we got home the kids dressed in their Christmas pajamas (that Caki made) and sat on our bed and read the Christmas story in the Bible..I tried really hard this year to teach them the true meaning of Christmas....I want them to know that Christmas is really about the birth of Jesus..Bert and I are so lucky that we are able to send our children to a Christian school...I worry so much about what goes on in the world and I hope that we are doing everything we can to teach them right from wrong....We spent a lot of family time together last week...each night we watched TV together and I loved it! One night we watched The Nativity Story...it is so good and another night we all watched The Wizard of Oz ( I cant believe the kids had never watched it) ANyway, on Christmas morning we woke up at 7:30 and the kids were ready to go see what Santa brought...Harper got a Nintindo DS and a XBox, he also got some new games, Pokemon stuff and a new bike---Annellise got a "stage", dress up clothes, microphone, guitar, and lots of art supplies....Mom, Dad, and Nannie got here about 9:30 and we had a great breakfast..( Alli and her family were in Louisiana) we just sat around and relaxed and "played"...mom and Annellise made some jewelry and Harper played a game all day....I dont know who it is really for Bert or Harper..ha.....
We had a wonderful Christmas and look forward to a Happy New Year..I will miss our little "elf on the shelf" ( if youdont know the elf watches over you and makes sure you behave and leaves every night to talk to Santa, each morning the elf is in a different place in the house that you have to find) it is so much fun!

Its Monday AGAIN!

This weekend has flown by-Bert and Harper left Thursday and went hunting until Saturday--we then packed up and went to Hattiesburg for my cousin Jennifer's wedding--it was a Catholic wedding and was not sure if Harper and ANnellise would do good stitting still that long but they did great..They had a good time at the reception-well Annellise did..she danced and danced! Harper bless his heart hates dancing and wouldnt even dance with me--he asked if it was ok he didnt like it and I felt so bad for him because all the kids were dancing but him--I was shocked that Annellise didnt sleep all the way home or that her little legs didnt hurt--we got home at midnigh and slept in on Sunday--we did go to church last night to see the choir do their musical and it was good..today Annellise and I havent done much, just some laundry--tommorrow is herSanta breakfast at school and Wed Harper sings and puts on his program--They only have about a week left until Christmas break---Saturday is my 35 th birthday and Im not excited! it feels and sound sooo old!

Off to Hannah Montana!

Well Bert and Annellise are on their way to Memphis...Annellise was SO EXCITED!!! she has been counting the days..they left about 6:30 when Bert got off of work...I wondered how Annellise would actually do away from me, she hasnt ever gone on a trip alone with Bert..Well, they stopped in Grenada and Bert got some gas he looked in the window at Annellise and she was crying, when he asked her what was wrong she said she missed her mommy...Oh, that just breaks my heart...you have no idea how much I wish I was the one going with her..I think of anything she has ever wanted this is it....She is going to have sooo much fun...we got all her clothes ready the other night and you should see her outfit, mom bought her a gold Hannah Montana skirt that has buikt on leggings and a pink tshirt with Hanna Montanas picture and some gold on it..I had bought her some boots and Bert and I had bought her a denium jacket with a guitar and Hannah Montana on it and her name in gold...you should see my little "rock Star"...she is going to have Bert worn out because she will stand up the entire time and sing every song....anyway, I will post pictures and tell all about it when they get home..Right now Harper and I are in the bed..we are both tired but cant sleep until I know they made it to Erins....At school,the art teacher has done something so neat..you can look on the website and see all Harper's art work...In fact he won 2 weeks ago and had his art displayed for Veterans Day..He drew the Statue of Liberty and it was so good..his was chosen along with 5 others ( that is out of the entire elementary) I was so proud of him..He draws so well and I told him if he would actually draw at school like he does at home his art teacher would notice and I was right ( he usually draws football stuff or hunting stuff) I guess that is what most little boys do....I am looking forward to some days off--I worked most of last week and was on call since it was my holiday and I worked Tuesday and then had CPR for 5 hours and then my regular shift started on Wed and I will work until next Wednesday..I am worn out....Next week I am going on a field trip with Annellise, we are going to Canton and visit the museums and ride the train and carasel..it sound like lots of fun..then no school nect Friday ( I have no idea why) then we are off to Hattiesburg for my cousin Jennifers wedding ( it doesnt even start until 7:30 pm and its a catholic wedding) we are going to be so LATE...I cant even imagine what time the reception will be over..Anyway I will try and do better with my blogging..I have slacked off some since I have been so busy...Anyway look at Harpers art , its www.artsonia.com --his ID # is 2113629 and he is Harper18....let me know if you have trouble getting it and you can join his Fan Mail--ha---

Our Cruise!

Ok, sorry its taken so long to write about our cruise..we had a great time..We left on Sunday morning and went to New Orleans and went to a Saints football game...it was a lot of fun..the food was terrible and we sat at the top of the Super Dome but it was fun, I am not sure if I would love to go back again but Harper would love it.... we then went to check in our hotel ( the Ritz-Carlton) it was so fancy, our room wasnt ready so we walked down Canal Street and did a little shopping...After showers and relaxing a little we had dinner at the hotel.
The next morning we got up and had breakfast. WE walked around Riverwalk and did some Christmas shopping....then off to the cruise ship.....It was so big! I thought it would be much harder to check in than it was but it was EASY! we were VIP and went straight to check in and had our first cruise picture made....(I loved the cruise pictures---I was a sucker and wanted every picture we took..they had different backgrounds and photographers--some made us look like we were getting prom pictures made..ha) We got to our room and it was so cute and big! I couldnt wait to walk around the boat...We had a balcony off our room and it was fun sitting and watching the water....We got dressed up each night and had dinner in the dining room, we liked all the people at our table...they were all from Louisiana.....One of our stops was in Progresso and there really wasnt much to do..Bert and I couldnt do any excursions due to back problems so we did a little shopping and went back to the boat, Bert took a nap and I laid on the balcony by the pool and read a book. I got wind burned because it was so windy. The next day we went to Cozamel, it was lots of fun...we did lots of shopping...I got a new wedding band set...it is beautiful--- a 1 1/2 carot pear shaped diamond on a band that is completely covered in little diamonds and another matching band...I love it!!! We spent all day just walking around and relaxing......By day 4, we were missing the children...it was a long time being away..especially since Harper got sick the day we left and had to go to the doctor......All in all we had a great time but I think next time I would like to go with another couple or with Harper and Annellise....Here are some of the pictures----Hope you like them!

Halloween!

Its been so long since I have checked in..we have been so busy..last weekend we had 2 Halloween parties, Erin and Presley came to visit, I worked all week,went to the pain management dr, finally did some Christmas shopping, Halloween, and our anniversary and Iforgot fall festival day at school......Ok, first our visit with Erin and Presley...she is sooo sweet and a great baby...I had so much fun getting my baby love...Price and Payton came over and Price and Presley "played" with each other.....I went to the dr. we are going to try medicine because I cant have a pain pump because I am fused all the way down and he couldnt get to my cord to insert it, I had a hard time when he told me, ( I guess I was holding out hope that it would be my "answer") he looked under fluoro at my back and said that if anyone ever questions how bad my back is to ask him...that made me feel better that he was "on my side"..so hopefully we can controll my pain with meds....Anyway back to the kids, we had a great day at fall festival the kindergarten had lots of games and fun..I had both Payton and Annellise and we had a great time, it just so happened to be on the last Friday of the month and that is a day parents can eat lunch with their kids so Annellise and Payton and I got to eat lunch with Harper...(Annellise and Payton were in heaven because they were in the cafeteria with the "big kids" ha...) they were even cuter because they were dressed as scarecrows...ha...
Lets see then we had our Halloween parties...Annellise was a mermaid and Harper was a Saints football player, we had a great time..it was good we had something to do because we had no water from about 2 that afternoon till about 11 that night..the next morning we had soccer and football games....Then on Sunday we went to church then went to Paytons birthday party...it was a beautiful day (it was ouside) the kids were dressed in Hallooween costumes and had a hayride and played...Annellise was Minnie Mouse and Harper was a Saints player again
On Wednesday, Halloween, we had the trailer and hay ready, and the kids all piled up for trick or treating....Annellise was Scarlett OHara and Harper was a Mississippi State Football player ( do you see the football thing goin on ha) Harper's best friend Russell and his brother Jake came and went too, so did Payton and Price...Dad and Nannie gave out candy while Kyle cooked our chilli...after trick or treating it sure is fun to come back and eat good chiili..thanks Kyle!
Our anniversary was Thursday the 1st..10 years! Yeah!----I let Bert go to a Ducks Unlimited banquet because we will celebrate next week on our CRUISE...last night we went to the movie to see American Gangster---it was great! then today we had our last soccer and football game...Tommorrow is church and then we are taking mom and dad to eat for their early birthday (since we will be gone on the 12th) then church again....this week is going to be crazy too so who knows when I will check back in...We have soccer and football awards night Monday and its Berts birthday!, Tuesday its work and to Mazzios with Harpers football team, then Wed and Thurs the kids sing at school for the big Christmas gala this week...Saturday we are going to eat breakfast with Santa, a birthday party , and then back to the school for an adult only party! then its off to NEW ORLEANS..we are going to the Saints game on Sunday, eat fancy that night, benighs(sp) in the French Quarter on Monday morning and then board our boat!!!yeah!!

gosh, I cant believe its been a week since I wrote...we have been busy with school and it was my time to work again---It just wears me out...Harper and Annellise are great, they keep me laughing all the time--Harper's new word is sweet and he says it to anything that is great--Annellise just says and does the funniest things..I found coloring sheets she had torn out of a Barbie coloring book that I had colored in her backpack and when I asked her why she took my coloring sheets to school she said " I just wanted Mrs. Rutland (her teacher) to see how good my mommy can color"..ha...I bet Mrs. Rutland loved that.....and the other night we were saying her prayers and I was holding her hand and she said to me " could you just give my hand a little break, I have been holding hands at school all day and my hands are really tired" where does she get this stuff...ha...we were at Michaels on Saturday and I showed her the cake decorating kit that is a princess castle and she pushed me back and said "shut up!" it was so funny and she didnt even realize she said something so funny......Saturday after the football and soccer games Bert took Harper and his best friend Russell to deer camp and they had so much fun..we went to church Sunday and Mexican for lunch (of course)! We then went to Best Buy and bought us a new digital camera for our trip...its almost here!....Bert got us Saints tickets for that Sunday and I am so excited! I have never been to a "big" football game ..Harper is jealous and really wants to go..he will have to go next time...I am going to see a pain management doctor on Thursday so maybe he can give me some good news, I have had some problems with my heart this last week, I had to go to the Dr. last Wed after work...I just had lots of fast palpatations--the doctor thought it was stress ( i cant imagine why!) I had an EKG and it was OK..I was scheduled to get a holter monotor tommorrow but it has gotten better they changed one of my meds and it seems to have helped...anyway what else can go wrong?
My poor children had to wear shorts and short sleeved shirts to school today and it was freezing today---this morning I put on Annellise's long sleeved shirt and the sleeves came up to her elbow and Harper's pants are above his ankles.....my children have GROWN so much since the summer..Bert went to the uniform place today to get new clothes and he had to leave because there were about 20 people in line..I guess everyone was shocked by the fast weather change and was not prepared like me...ha...anyway I am going to order it on the internet right now...
Erin and Presley are coing tommorrow and are spending the night..I am so excited to see baby Presley I didnt get to see her at grandaddy's birthday.....I can use my new camera and take some pictures to post yeah!...

My Wonderful Children!!!

Yesterday I went to a baby shower and Bert was left with the kids..It was beautiful outside so I think they spent most of the day outside...Anyway Bert took Harper's training wheels off his bike and he practiced a few times in our back yard (which has just a little slab of concrete)...so today the kids had no school and after a fun trip to the dentist ( no cavities by the way) we decided to go outside because today was beautiful too...I mentioned going in the street in front of the house to ride bikes and I figured I would be spotting Harper and helping him get started after falling a few times but guess what.....My child jumped on that bike and off he went...I WAS AMAZED! he needed NO help and he was even doing tricks like taking his feet off the petals....Annellise always needs help getting started but she jumped on and needed NO help.....I was shocked...My babies are not babies, it makes me so sad! I still cannot believed that he started riding a bike with no training wheels on the first try , he rode and rode for about 45 minutes and little sweet pea was right behind him....they are sooo cute!
On another note our church is doing something different this year, instead of an angel tree you get a shoe box and choose an age and girl or boy and you buy little goodies to fill the box..we went to the dollar tree and the children and I had so much fun filling their little boxes ( Annellise is so concerned that children dont have money and sometimes dont get Christmas presents)--I think she was too young last year to really understand..Anyway it was good for them to do something for other children...They got to choose a little happy for going to the dentist..and Annellise chose Princess tatoos that you put on with little stencils and glitter pens...She was so excited because it was finally a pen she could write on herself with...HA...you should see my hands and even Harper was sweet and let her tatoo him..ha.....If you have read my other post you will understand how much she likes to write ( on herself and anything and everythng..HA)
its back to school tommorrow after a 2 day fall break...

Its Friday!

Today the kids were out of school and are out on Monday too..its fall break....Yeah! We havent done much today my back has hurt all day..I didnt sleeo well due to pain and not getting comfortable last night... We are getting ready to go to the Hillcrest football game...Its cool outside so it should be real football weather...There is not much to post..Harper and Annellise are doing great..Harper has good grades and Annellise is writing all the time. I am so glad that she enjoys to learn..I sometimes worry about her schooling...School comes pretty easy for Harper if he brings home the correct books..HA....Everything is starting to get busy, it is hard to believe that Christmas is only 2 months away...Im going crazy, I am usually done with ALL my shopping and I have done hardly any...having surery and getting sick has put everything on hold...Bert and I go on our cruise in 4 wks, I am getting excited and nervous...We have never been away from Harper and Annellise that long or with out them....It is only 2 wks until Halloween--Harper is a Mississippi State football player (yuck!) and Annellise is Scarlett OHara ---she is so cute in her costume....We will load up the trailer with hay and Bert will pull us with the mule to go trick a treating...I LOVE HALLOWEEN.....The grownups sit on the trailer and the kids run around from house to house then we come back to our house and eat homeade chilli...Dad sits on the front porch with Nannie and gives out candy and Kyle usually makes our good chiili......It is SOO much fun..we have so many trick-a-treaters ...we run our of candy after about 1 hr...It seems like all of Byram comes to our neighborhood....They are having a fall festival at the church on Halloween night too, so we will probobly go there first before here...well I have to go we are leaving..

Another Busy Saturday!

Last night Bert and I took the kids to the Hillcrest football game.We were brave and took 4 kids. Russell spent the night with Harper and we took Payton too..The kids have so much fun..they run around and chase each other, play football, and roll down the hill..They only come check in about every 15 minutes for food and a drink...They were so good..Annellise even got to go out on the track and cheer with the cheerleaders for the 2nd quarter...she was in heaven...This morning we were up at 7:30.. Annellise went with Alli and had her soccer pictures made and watched Payton play soccer..Bert and I took Harper and Russell to their football game at 9:00..My little Harper is so good..I am just amazed! I know I am bragging but he is awesome...He caught a pass and scored a touchdown and got best off. player today....After the football game we headed over to Annellise's game...she did great also, but she is sometimes a little scared to go after the ball, she doesnt want to hurt someones feelings by taking the ball....She scored a goal though ...Yeah Annellise and Harper...then Harper went with Allison and her family to Hattiesburg (its Mamaws birthday) and they are having a party for her...I am worn out and still have a hard time riding in a car because I still cant stand pressing my back up against something.....so Annellise and I went to another birthday party...This was Sydneys and it was so much fun, they made their own pizza and cupcakes...it was a cute party! but HOT...I have been outside since 8:50 and let me tell you , ITS HOT!!! I got blistered!.....Tonight Bert is taking Annellise and I on a date ( really we dont have a babysitter..HA) we are going to Shapley's, they have nothing for her to eat so we are going to sneek a lunchable..HA....
2 more days and I get my stitches out! Yeah!...one fell out yesterday, Im not sure how but I hope its Ok....I just have to pray that I make it through this week with no fever...I get stitches out Monday so that means my little holes will scab over and that will determine if my staff is gone.....Last time I was draining from my insision on Monday, its scabbed over on Tues, and Wed I started running fever and Fri I had surgery....Im just a little worried because I am still draining from my insision so we will see......Tommorrow I need to do laundry, I just havent been in the mood....My little Annellise got in trouble yesterday and got her little mouth washed out with soap---it was so sad, but she lied and then lied again because she got her story mixed up...for some reason she told a teacher it was her birthday....where does she get this from? She also was running around outside before school greeting all her friends....she is suppose to stay inside once Bert drops her off and she got caught by Allison....ha...As I have said before, she only goes to school to socialize....HA....I am going to have my hands FULL when she is a teenager....Luckily in the last few days I havent found her name on any furniture or walls..HA....Harper and his friend Russell were caught by Bert throwing and stomping on of Annellise's good baby dolls in the mud and said Annellise said they could...(the bad thing is she probobly did- anything to get some attention from sweet Russell) she loves all boys, especially Harper's friends..HA.....I love my sweet children and I am proud that they have already given me some gray hair..ha....Tommorrow is church, Mexican for lunch Im sure, and a birthday party for Harper's best friend Russell, then back to church again.....

My Little Annellise

Where do I begin...Annellise has been learning to write her name at school...she is doing great! BUT she practices EVERYWHERE and when I say everywhere I mean everywhere....I have found her name on her wall in her bedroom, on the side of her new dresser, on the nightstand (but on it she pressed down as hard as she could so it is indented into the table and will not come off...even with that wonderful "magic eraser") She also likes to put lipstick on her carpet, chew up pens so the ink goes all over her clothes, face, and bed..She also cut her hair (in the front right above her ear on the left side) it looks reallyfunny...On top of that she smart mouthes Bert and I and tells some little lies....she also plays dress up and instead of putting up her clothes she piles them in the corner, hides them in the closet in the back, and stuffs them under her bed....What am I going to do with her? If you punish her she doesnt seem to mind, she just thinks she can do whatever she wants...Are all little girls at age 4 like this? I am going to have my hands FULL as she gets older.....I guess mom was right when she said " just wait until you have a little girl" everytime I did something and got in trouble..I guess this is my payback..HA..
But you cant help but love my sweet little Annellise she is so sweet and tells you she loves you all the time... I love that little girl so much! I am so glad God gave me my children to raise...Harper is so much fun these days..He is finally doing so good with bringing his homework home now....He is going to his best friend Russell's bday party Sunday and Saturday we have a soccer game, pictures, football game and another bday party for Annellise to go to.....They keep me so busy....Anyway, my back is still hurting pretty bad...I am getting so nervous if this staff infection is going to come back because Its almost time for our cruise! Yeah!....

Its Sunday!

Well this week is finally over...My back is still hurting pretty bad. Where my stiches are is very tender and my insision is still draining..My dr is off all week so lets just pray nothing happens...I get my stitches out Monday the 8th..they are hurting me so bad because they are pulling my skin very tight..Yesterday I probobly did too much..Harper had baseball practice at 9am then Annellise had a soccer game at 10, then Harper had his football game at 11:30 but it did not start until 12..so that put us behind, thankfully mom was there and she took Annellise home to get a shower and change clothes and Kyle took her to her first birthday party at 1pm, it was a skating party..when Harper and I got there about 2 she was just skating up a storm..I was so excited to see her skate because she had never skated before...We left the party early and went to another birthday party at Build a Bear..that lasted until about 5pm...Mom met me there so she did help me with them ..thanks mom....We then met Bert at Cracker Barrell for supper ( yummy pancakes) then home to bed..We were all worn out...I really wish Bert didnt work on Saturdays because yesterday just about killed me..My back was hurting so bad...But what do you do? Your children ALWAYS come first...I slept until about 12 today..Bert took the kids to church and to eat Mexican ( of course).....Right now Bert and Harper are at his baseball game...( I just couldnt go out and sweat in the heat again today so Annellise and I stayed home)...then off to church tonight...Im posting lots of pictures to catch up...

Where do I begin?

Gosh, it has been a rough week..Last Wednesday I started feeling really bad (sort of like the flu) my back was KILLING me, not my normal back pain---About 3 am I woke up with fever of 101 and severe back pain and my insision looked horrible..I had been on antibiotics since Monday because my insision was draining a little but it wasnt swollen or red..But on Thursday it all changed...My dr is off on Thursdays because that is his surgery day..When I woke up I thought I was dying, I took my antibiotic and ate something( BAD choice)...I finally called his office and because I ate I had to wait until Friday am to see him..Alli took off work and took me to the dr. I was in SO much pain...He looked at my insision and said I was being admitted and having emergency surgery that day..So long story short, they took me to the wrong place and I was in a waiting room with about 50 people and could hardly dit down....I was suppose to go to a room instead and get some pain meds..so that delayed everything about 2 hrs.....I was not in a good mood and in pain---then they had to take lots of blood and I have horrible veins...about 1pm I went to surgery and they found out I had a staff infection ( the BAD one MRSA) its the one you get in the hospital so I got it 2 weeks prior when I had my back surgery...it is resistant to most antibiotocs so we are just praying that my dr got all the infection during surgery...If not I will get a PIC line (IV) and get IV antibiotics 3 times a day for 6 weeks...I DO NOT WANT THAT...we go on our cruise Nov 12 so please pray that these next few weeks my infection does not come back...I still have stitches and will get them out on Oct 8...My insision looks good, but I still feel pretty bad..I have NO energy and it takes everything I have to get dressed everyday...I hope that gets better. I went to the dr today and they took my blood so hopefully all is OK.....

Gosh its Tuesday!

I cant believe its Tuesday already..I havent posted since Friday..What happened to me? I am still at home.I am off all this week and will work Mon and Tues next week then start my 5 days on Oct 3..I went to the dr. yesterday, I cried of course. Bert couldnt go so I went by myself..We talked about pain management, I am suppose to get a call today telling me when my appointment is. We are going to see about a pain pump that is put inside your spine that gives you a dose. My only problem is I do work in MRI and I think that will be a problem (the magnetic field can stop it like a pacemaker) so I will have to talk with the dr and find out my options...right now I am just so tired to taking meds and just want my life back, we just dont know if it will ever get better...This is what happens after yrs of scoliosis..it sucks! I just pray that neither one of my children will ever go through this...
We went to the Hillcrest game Friday night, the kids has so much fun running around and playing..Saturday was a lazy day...I dont think we did anything..Sunday we had church and then Harper had a baseball game...IT WAS SO HOT!!! Bert and I started a Bible study on Sunday nights on the book of Revelation...I am going to enjoy it..The kids have a good time on Sunday nights too...
Harper has had some trouble in school with bringing his books home each night..It seems like every week he forgets something and cant do his homework because he forgot that book, so he cant play gameboy or his playstaion...it just about kills him...Yesterday he BROUGHT HOME ALL HIS HOMEWORK...YEAH! I was so proud of him....Lets see if he can do it today..He loves to go to daycare and I told him he could go Wednesday if he does good tonight so we will see.
Tonight we have soccer and football practice and then Thursday night..Friday is homecoming at Hillcrest, we are playing my school Copiah Academy! Who will I cheer for! HA! Saturday starts the big Soccer and Football games, Baseball practice, a birthday party, then bowling that night...Sunday is Grandaddys birthday party so we are off to Cleveland! I cant wait to see baby Presley! I need to love on that sweet baby girl.....I need some pictures of her, Im sure she has changed alot since we last saw her....well I have to go....I will post lots of new pictures after this weekend.

Its Friday!

I love Fridays...especially now that it is footbal season.. It has rained here for the past 48 hours..We did need it. It is so nice outside to my truck temperature says 74 degrees...WOW! Tonight we are planning on going to the Hillcrest football game. I think I can make it sitting on the bleachers for a little while..The kids just love to go, Harper runs aroung with his little friends playing football and chasing girls..Annellise loves to cheer with the cheerleaders...She wears her cheerleader suit and pompoms...They are so cute!
Annellise had soccer practice Tueday night, bless her heart,Harper took her soccer ball and was playing with it, she was yelling at him to give her the BASKETBALL....ha, you would think at least she would know what type of ball she uses for soccer...Harper didnt get to go to his first football practice because of rain so who knows when he will practice...Next Saturday we have a soccer game, football game, Annellise has a birthday party to go to and our Sunday school class is going to bowl on Saturday night and oh I forgot Harper has baseball practice too....why do I do this to myself?......We have had so many people bring us food this past week...It was so nice of them, I think we have all gained about 5 pounds...All I do is sit here and EAT!!! right now I have homemade brownies and pound cake sitting on the kitchen counter...

Annellise my funny child

Yesterday Annellise came home and as usual has work she had done that day in school...She has been practicing so much on writing her name..It was my mistake and this summer we learned in all capital letters..well,WRONG, they dont teach that so we have had to work on lower case letters. Bless her heart her parents did not give her an easy name..ha....But she has done well this past week, Anyway, one of her sheets was a page she was to color and it said something like What is something you thank God for and my child said......High School Musical 2...(not her parents or family but a movie) she is so funny and obsessed with High School Musical and Hanna Montana....THank goodness it is a Disney movie and not anything bad.....I have no idea what God has planned for my little girl but she is definately a funny,loud, and loving child...She only goes to school to socialize and can tell you who every child ( and their parents) are in the elementary and they all LOVE her....SHe loves to hug all the children( she is about 3 inches taller than most of them..HA)....I have no idea where she gets it because I am not really a people person ( I have a hard time talking to people I dont know) I guess Bert is in a way but nothing like Annellise and Harper is more like me and pretty shy around people....this week we start our Onward Soccer and Football practice....It is still so hot, Annellise has soccer practice tonight and Harper has football on Thursday...I will take some pictures....Annellise is going to be so funny I am excited to see how she will do, Harper will do great, at tryouts the guy told me that he has done better than any that had tried out so far...He and his friends play football EVERY day on the playground so I am excited to see what he will do....He is just so skinny and tall I worry that he will get hurt, I guess I should be thankful it is flag football.....he just loves it.....I hope doing baseball and football at the same time will not be too much for him..I am so thankful he is athletic ( I had hoped he wouldnt play the piano or and instrument) sorry for all those who do I just never wanted my son to do that....I probobly shouldnt say that but Bert will surely agree..HA....Anyway I have rambled on long enough, I am still at home recovering..I am pretty sure my surgery didnt work, yesterday I was on my feet for a couple of hours and BACK PAIN again---the same as before, so unless I sit all day I am going to hurt and that does NOT make me happy......I better go, I have to go and get the kids, its my only excitedment all day to get out of the house..HA.....I will post pictures of soccer and football later in the week.....

Baseball......and Sunday

Today was our first fall baseball game, it was a lot of fun and Harper did GREAT!!! He played short stop today ( he had never played that position before)..He stopped the ball and ran to 2nd and got someone out and then he got the ball and threw it to 1st and got the player out...I just can not believe how great he did..he also hit the ball great ( he never got out) this was really the first time the team had played together and had only 1 practice and they won 13 to 5 ( really it would have been more but at 3rd quarter they turned the scoreboard off) My baby is awesome!!! It was so hot I mean so hot..I was burning up! we then went to Bops and got ice cream....When we got home Alli and her family was here with a STRAWBERRY cake! That is my ultimate favorite cake ( my moms recipe) I usually only get it for my birthday but since I had back surgery I guess I deserved it HA ...I will definately start Weight Watchers now...I am miserable!
Ok, I am going to vent...I have talked before about Rock of Love (the show about Bret Micheals finding love)...I hate Lacy and she is still here..WHY! she is such a LOSER and SO UGLY! I love little Jess I hope he picks her....The only ones left are Jess, The Stripper Heather, and Ugly Lacy......Poor Brandy went home by her own choice today...I liked her too..Next week we meet their parents..I cant imagine what Lacy's parents think of her.....Anyway, I will be VERY disappointed in poor Bret if her picks anyone but cute little Jess...
Bert and the kids have gone to church tonight..Bert is starting a Bible study tonight for men and the kids want to go and they will have lots of fun and learn about Jesus...Every other Sunday Annellise will have choir and she will LOVE that!
Anyway I better go, I want to say Happy Grandparents day! I know I dont always tell you but we really appreciate All you do for us and we love you!

Lazy Saturday

I am soooo bored! Annellise spent the night with Caki and Pop and Harper spent the night with Russell...I finally talked Bert into taking me for a ride last night..I have been dying to get out of the house. We went to Blockbuster and the grocery store to get some milk..I watched 2 movies last night and read 2 magazines. Today I have watched 2 movies on Lifetime Movie Network, not a good idea, I have cried for 4 hours...Why do they make the movies so sad? Harper had baseball practice this morning and him and Bert have now gone to Wal Mart, Annellise is still at Caki and Pops... Payton decided he wanted to go this morning too because he thought Annellise was having more fun than he was at their house..He wanted to play in the playhouse and hunt with Annellise and Pop. So I am still stuck here in the chair going CRAZY!!!! I have read peoples blogs that I dont even know and now I am watching yet another Lifetime movie..My cousin Ashley is having another baby..YEAH...mom just called and told me. They were at the grove at Ole Miss and Molly Cate had a shirt on that said Im going to be a big sister...that is so sweet...Congrats Ashley and Ken....My Sunday School class is bringing over supper tonight ( it is so thoughtful of them)...I have a great class! I am hoping to start driving this week and maybe going back to work the next...I hope and pray that my back is better...I have so much to do this fall with the kids and would love to be pain free....Plus Bert and I are going on our cruise in November..not long at all...I need to start my Weight Watchers again when I recover because I know I will do nothing but eat on the boat....Well I better go, hopefully someone will be home again soon so I can have someone to talk to....it really weird that when you can actually take a nap or catch up on reading you never do it, wonder why that is?

my surgery is over--yeah---Im a little disappointed because when I was in surgery my dr couldnt find the crack in my fusion, therefore my surgery didnt require new screws and hardware. I had some scar tissue and other stuff that he had to clean out in my back.. We will not know if that was causing my severe back pain for about 7 to 10 days..Right now I am just taking it easy,not doing ANYTHING, ( BORED), I am still in a lot of pain from the surgery. My sweet little children have been so good and helpful...Little Annellise just loved on me yesterday, rubbed my hand and told me she loved her mommy..(they are so sweet)....Harper is in heaven this week because he gets to go to daycare everyday..He loves daycare, Annellise hates it but today she starts her dancing at daycare..She was so excited! I cant wait to drive and get back to myself again..I am so tired of having back pain!....Oh well I have had my pitty party sorry that I have bored you.....Thank you all for helping while I was in the hospital...I could cot have done it with out my parents, Alli and Kyle, and Bert ( I actually slept pretty good with his snoring in the hospital) He snores SO BAD! I will have to remember to take some earplugs when we go on our cruise ha...but I love him anyway..ha..

Happy Labor Day!

It is hard for me to realize today is actually a holiday..I was off today anyway and Bert is at work as usual, I cant tell you how many times I have caught myself trying to go get the mail..ha...Annellise and Harper are playing in their rooms and there is nothing on tv..I am watching the marathon of ROCK OF LOVE, I have seen all the episodes already so I dont know why I am watching them again..My Young and the Restless, Dr. Phil, and Oprah are not on, its all tennis and who wants to watch that...Back to Rock of Love, those girls are crazy especially Lacey, she is CRAZY...I have no idea why Bret will not let her go.....I love little Jes and her hot pink and blond hair, I hope he picks her but Heather the stripper will probobly win...
I go into the hospital at 7 IN THE MORNING..I am getting nervous as it gets closer and closer, luckily I have a valium to take in the morning....I am soooo nervous about getting my IV, it makes me nausious just writing it....After the IV I am fine, its just getting that needle in my arm.......OK no more about the needle, as I have said I am so bored today, there is nothing to do and the kids so not want to play with me....they have eaten enough m&m's and skittles to make you sick...For some reason Annellise likes to mix them in a ziploc bag (it is really gross to think about mixing the two)...Well I will check back in about a week...Happy Labor Day! ( I hope yours is more exciting than mine..HA)

My littleAnnellise did something so funny last night, she went to her room, turned the light on and off then walked back to my room, turned the light on and off and then got back in the bed...It was so funny! I tried asking her what she was doing and she was sound asleep....So Bert and I assume she was sleep walking. That is too funny!

Bert went to eat lunch with Harper today then checked him out early..They went to the deer camp so they can get up early and go dove hunting..Harper is so excited. He gets to shoot his gun for REAL....I cant wait to hear about his first hunting trip. I bet he will be so cute in his camo..Annellise and I are having girls night. We are going to eat (her choice) and come home and take bubble baths and do our toenails...Tommorrow she is going to stay with Alli while Harper and I go to one of Harper's friends birthday parties...Harper's first baseball game is next Saturday. I cant believe I am letting him play baseball and football and Annellise is taking dance and playing soccer. I am waiting for a call to tell us whos team they are both on. I guess practice will start soon...I am going in Tuesday morning at 7 for my back surgery..I can only pray that God will be with us for the next couple of weeks....they will be tough...I am so nervous about next week, it is hard to be away from them..I hope all their homework and activities will get done..I have made a 3 page (front and back) notes for Bert, Mom, and Alli....Bert bless his heart will have a tought week too..Pray for him that he will survive putting up with me and taking care of the kids...I love him so much and I know that I dont always tell him how much I appreciate all he does for me and the children..

Happy Birthday Anita!

Happy Birthday to my friend Anita--she is 34 today! Happy Birthday to you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLI !!

Today is my sister, Allison's, BIG 30th Birthday!!!! Happy Birthday Allison!
It is hard to believe you are 30, its all downhill from here...HA....Its too bad that
everyone thinks you are the oldest...ha...
Happy Birthday! I love you!

Busy Sunday

Today was a very busy day. We went to church this morning and came home to get ready. We had Alli's "BIG 30" birthday party. It is hard to believe she is going to be 30 on Tuesday. (that means I will be 35 in December) Mom, Dad, and Nannie came over and we all had spagetti (Alli's favorite food that we have to eat every year on her birthday) and for her favorite dessert I made her a pound cake....We ate and opened presents then Alli and I had to leave her party to go to a babyshower at the church. We left the kids and the other adults to swim...My little Annellise can swim so good. She can swim all the way from the shallow to the deep end with no floaties and she can dive to the bottom....That is so great for a 4 year old...We are all tired and ready to go to bed..Its only 2 more days of work for me before my surgery. Im getting a little nervous, I know how bad my recovery is going to be....I am nesting, trying to get everything ready before I go to the hospital. I worry so much about the kids and if they will wear the correct clothes and get all their stuff ready for school..Bert is going to have so much to do...I just pray it will all work out....

the Tooth---

my sweet little Harper lost his front tooth...He was outside in the pool with Bert and Annellise and all of a sudden he came running inside screaming and blood EVERYWHERE.....bless his little heart, he slipped on the steps getting out of the pool and fell on his face on the concrete and it knocked his front tooth out...It even cut his lip, nose, and the skin above his lip...He was so scared (he is my child for sure) and it was so much blood...No kidding I had to sit on the toilet and then lie down on the bed because I almost passed out..You know that had to have hurt hitting your face so hard on the concrete it knocks your tooth out.
Annellise is so funny, she loves to sing and sings ALL the time...We were in the car yesterday and she was singing to the radio and asked me if she sings beautiful and of course I said oh! Yes!...she was quiet for a minute and said, momma if you pray to Jesus he will give you my voice so you can sing like me...what I precious child she is..Only a child could come up with something like that..She also will yell across the house Mama! and when I answer she just says " I love you" it makes me sad that Harper is getting too big and tough to dare say that, but at least I get to sneak in my hugs and love on him often...They grow up so fast!

10 things about Me!

I just read someones blog that said most people dont know silly things about each other,so that being said I will write 10 things that yo might not know about me......

1. I would love to have another baby if not many more...but I have a bad back and can hardly carry myself around much less another child...

2. I love to think of baby names--when I was little I would cut families out of the JCPenny and Sears catalog, glue them to paper, and give them all names..

3. I spend an abserd amount of money on shoes for myself and Annellise and Harper...for some reason I think Annellise should have a shoe in every color..ha

4.I love for my kids to have cute and cool clothes---its a good thing they wear uniforms because then I would probobly have a problem--ha

5. I take 2 if not 3 showers a day, yes that is true, I can not stand to be dirty

6. I sometimes make the kids take that many showers and baths too..

7. I love, love chocolate---Reeces pieces are one of my favorites--I also love pecan cobbler from Bop's...I love all dessert!!! there I said it..ha

8. I am very moody and grumpy when I am hurting (my back) and I am not fun to be around! ( I cant believe I admitted it)

9.I love my children and all the kids that I am kin to but I WOULD NOT want to be a teacher, work in a daycare, or keep kids for a living......I think those people have a special calling because I could not do it...

10. I am afraid of needles...I stick people all day but can not handle being stuck, I am deathly afraid of IV's....

11. I had to add 1 more, I wish I would have taken time to learn to sew when I was younger, I would love to make and monogram things for the kids...

Ok I did it now I challange all of you to do it to...
Tommorrow starts a new week at school, I am off tomorrow and Tuesday (yeah)..We went to church this morning and then to the Mexican restaurant, ( our usual Sunday ritual) the waiter even knew Payton's drink order...Bert looks forward to that every Sunday...he loves Poco Loco..it is grilled chicken with caso on top..and makes us go EVERY Sunday so he can eat it...
last night Bert, Harper, dad, and Kyle went to the church for a special man dinner. They had all types of game to eat (Kyle cooked it) and had a guest speaker..they had over 250 people to attend and It sounds like it was a hit...this was the first year to do it....Annellise and I went shopping at Northpark and had a good time, just the 2 of us then went to Keifers to eat..We had a great girl time...

Our Week

We are so glad its Friday.. The kids have enjoyed school and their new teachers. I have kept Price the last 2 days, he is such a sweet and good baby. I think I have spoiled him alittle. Each time when we went to pick up Annellise at 11:30 and then Harper at 2:40 he cried....I dont think he likes that car seat..Alli said she thought he was scared I was taking him home....He is not that spoiled ha....Annellise has learned new songs and she said they are learning to raise their hands when they need to talk to the teacher. ( I would hope she already knows that)...Harper had a spelling test today and had to memorize his Bible verse for the week...he is so smart and really doesnt have to study, I hope he will always be that way. Poor little Annellise is going to have a time, she could care less about school work. Annellise and Payton have had a good time, I am glad they are not in the same class because it makes it more fun to see each other on the playground and play..As for Bert and I this week has been pretty low key. I worked Monday and Tuesday and Bert worked everyday this week and is off tommorrow. They are having a mens day and church tommorrow afternoon and night..it is all about hunting, so he and Harper will have lots of fun.. I am not sure what Annellise and I will do, we are sitting in the bed right now watching High School Musical 2...she is so into anything that has singing...it is a cute movie. I actually watched and sing the songs from HS Musical1..It reminds me of Grease that we watched growing up...I am so ready for my back surgery (but not all the pain)...My back has killed me today...only 2 more weeks.....we are getting a cold front (93 degrees) this weekend---ha,ha---Hopefully we can swim tommorrow and Sunday. I think the kids are a little burnt out on swimming, they never ask but it has been so hot, the pool is like bath water... You should see Annellise right now, she has on her HSMusical gown with a sequin belt and is standing on the bed dancing. ( she is definantly my little "DRAMA QUEEN"......)I think her hair is finally growing but Im not quite sure...Caki thinks so...Today we put Payton and Annellise back to back to see how much they have grown, at the beginning of the summer Annellise was about 1/2 inch taller and how she is a good 2 1/2 inches taller....I cant believe it, she has always been the tallest of everyone in school and at church in fact most people dont believe she is 4 yrs old...Harper has grown about 2 inches this summer too,all of his pants are too short, but bless his heart he is so skinny. (he could probobly fit in a size 2 in the waist)ha...He has lost both bottom middle teeth and his top front ones are loose...he is growing up so fast and is the sweetest little boy...Ok I will hush now and go look at a magazine......

School

School started today! YEAH! this week has been crazy running back and forth each night for teacher parent meetings...Yesterday morning Bert took the kids to meet their teachers. They are going to have so much fun..2nd grade is not easy, they start learning to write in cursive in the next two weeks, can you believe it? They have about 10 books and they are going to have lots of homework..Each week last year they had to recite a bible verse in front of the class, this year they have to write it by memory on Fridays...that is unbelievable...he is just getting so big. I hope Annellise learns anything...she couldnt even write her name until this summer....She is going to keep Bert and I on her toes, I can only imagine her as a teenager. She only goes to school to socialize...She knows every teacher and just about every student, she is on first name basis with both the janitors...ha....she is definately a social butterfly...Mrs. Brown the principle told Bert that Annellise sure has come out of her shell..ha....(she was never in it)...Bert told her Annellise will probobly be spending lots of time in her office..ha..(he was joking)...Harper on the other hand is quiet if he doesnt know you and just goes with the flow...He is NEVER in any hurry...Slow is the only speed he knows....Dont we all wish we could be like that....

Lazy Sunday

I am sitting here on the computer while Annellise is singing and watching Hanna Montana--I bet you never would have guessed that.ha..We went to church and our Sunday usual eating at the Mexican restaurant...(we have to eat there every Sunday, it wasw 21 of us today)....Bert and Harper just left to go to the Wildlife extravaganza at the Trade Mart...So it is just Annellise and I here, I need to fold clothes and do other housework but I am on the computer, reading everyone elses blogs that I dont know...Bert thinks this is so stupid... school starts on Friday, we have a busy week, Tuesday Bert and I go and meet Annellise's teacher and on Thursday we go and meet Harper's teacher...I work Tues, Wed, and Thurs. this week so I will be off their 1st day of school...I am going to pick up Payton on Friday too and we will go to Mcdonalds or the new Backyard burger if its not too crouded..Harper doesnt get out until 1:45 so he will eat at school....We then start soccer and dancing for Annellise and football and fall baseball for Harper on top of me having major back surgery and Bert doesnt get home until 6:30 so he cant help and we still have homework....Why do I allow myself to take all this on? I do it for my children.....I love seeing them play and do things they love and you never get these times back...If that woman that just had her 17th child can do it, surely I can...( why in the world would you have 17 children, on top of that they are homeschooled so you never get alone time..I would go insane!!!!) Can you imagine giving birth that manyt times---I am surprized the babies just dont fall out ha.... Annellise was born with my labor starting at 12:30 and she was born 45 min later at 1:15---and she was my 2nd child....

Our Life.......

Gosh, its been a long time since I have written...We are getting ready for school again. They start next Friday..I am going to love being part time so I can go get them and they dont have to go daycare. (Annellise hates it) Anyway, I went to the dr. yesterday and I actually do have something wrong with my back therefore I actually have a reason for my back pain. I have a seperation in my fusion at L5 S1 , in other words my fusion is not complete at that level..I am to have my 4th back surgery ( in 1 1/2 yrs) on Sept.4th..so keep us in your prayers..It is going to be a painful surgery about 1/2 the pain of my 1st one says Dr. Senter...I hope I can make it, that was as close to death as I have ever been. Pray for Bert, I am not in the best moods lately due to pain. I want to have no pain when we go on our cruise in November.........Harper and Bert went to see the Saints play at 9:00 this am...Harper was so excited...If I have to hear Hanna Montana music again I will scream....Annellise is singing it at the top of her lungs as we speak....We ran errands today since Bert was off. We ate lunch at Cane's and then went to Toys r Us...THen we got some ice cream at Sal and Mookies on the way home....I LOVE SAL AND MOOKIES ice cream...banana is the best... the kids are fighting so I have to go....

The Beach

We just got back from Orange Beach and had a great time..We didnt want to come home...My mom and dad and Nannie went so did Allison and her family. We stayed in a wonderful condo..it was about the size of a house. It had 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, it also had a media room, large living room and kitchen..The condo had 6 swimming pools, a lazy river, an indoor pool and 3 hottubs....It was awesome..Next year we are definately staying longer, it just went by too fast.

the circus

We went to the circus on the 12th. We took Payton and had lots of fun..the kids loved it...I was alittle disappointed, I always thought the circus had lions and tigers..There were none, just 1 elephant,some white horses, and some dogs...Anyway they had a good time (I guess that is all that matters..ha)

our July 4th was pretty boring. Bert worked all day and it was cloudy and sprinkled some...we had planned on spending our day by the pool. When Bert got home he took the kids to the church (it was God and Country day, lots of jumping things and snoe cones then fireworks). My back has been hurting really bad so we havent done much the last few days..it rains all day everyday...Friday I went to the doctor, I am having a bone scan Monday, he thinks I might have a sacral fracture...so we will see.. We went to the Braves game on Friday night, it was fun, the kids love going and they had fireworks....Annellise slept until 11:15 this morning.....I couldnt believe it and I had to wake her up..I hope it doesnt rain again tommorrow, the kids are going crazy to swim and get outside...

my little singer

Annellise loves Hanna Montana---I caught her tonight on the coffee table with her microphone singing her little lungs out to Hanna Montana....It was so cute and funny I had to take her picture....

Pictures I forgot to post

These are pictures that I found that I forgot to post....One is Annellise's trophy party for tball with one of her best friends Julia, one is Harpers bball party..the kids playing in the pool on the cool float Caki and Pop gave them, the family at the Braves game on Miskelly's night (that is why we are dressed alike except for Annellise, she had to wear a dress.Ha)..My friends Stacey, Kay,May and I went to eat at Keifers when May came to visit...Sorry the pictures are so big,I cant figure out how to make them smaller...Bert is sick today so we have done nothing but swim in the pool...

Fun Day

Annellise spent the night with Caki and Pop last night, so it was just Harper and I this morning. We just laid around...he played his Gameboy and I read. We went to Landon's birthday party.It was a lot of fun..The kids swam and played on Landon's new 4 wheeler..Then we drove to Hazlehurst to get Annellise..Hopefully the kids will fall asleep early but Im not holding my breath...Tomorrow we are planning on going to church and just swimming. (I love days like that).. I have to work Monday and Tuesday then Im off till next Wednesday. I ready because my back is bothering me again...

Swim Party

We had a great time last night. We had our Sunday School party and had crawfish and shrimp and hamburgers for the kids. We had so much fun. We are all worn out.....Today we did pretty much of nothing. Annellise loves Hanna Montana so I went to Wal Mart and bought her the CD..All she has done is sing and sing. When Bert got home from work we went swimming for the 2nd time today...I am so tired of washing beachtowels...it is about 3 weeks till we go to the beach and I cant wait....Tommorrow the kids start bible school for 4 nights. They are excited. Especially Annellise, she is finally old enough to go....

Busy Day

Yesterday we went to buy school uniforms. It is hard to believe its that time again. We then went to Sports Cuts to get Harper and Payton's hair cut. It is such a cute BOYS place (sports stuff everywhere). After we went to eat and do a little shopping at Target. Annellise started feeling bad just laid her head on the buggy when we got home she had a fever of 102. I have no idea why, all she complains about is a headache. It was just us girls here last night too. Bert and Harper went to deer camp to spend the night and fish.. Annellise woke up feeling fine but had high fever again after lunch. Tommorrow we are going to get passports for our cruise. I am getting excited even though it is 5 months away.. We are also having a crawfish boil and swim party for our Sunday school class and families.. ( about 50 people) I will be worn out Saturday but it will be fun, lets just hope Annellise has no fever tommorrow. She will not be a happy child if she cant swim with all the kids...

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

We had a great day today..I made cinnamon rolls from scratch for my dear husband..He is such a great dad! Harper and Annellise are so lucky to have him as their dad! We went to church and came back home to have a family day. My parents, grandmother, sister, and her family all came over for lunch. We cooked hamburgers and had 3 desserts.(HA)...Then we spent the day swimming in the pool. It was such a relaxing day and I got to spend it with my wonderful dad and my wonderful husband...My dad is the best dad I could ever ask for and he is a great POP..I am so glad he finally got some boys in the family. He had to have 3 women in the house for years and no boys. Now he has 3 grandsons and 1 grandaughter.....He finally had some BOYS!
Last night we took him to the Mississippi Braves game. We had a good time. ( after we went to Wal Mart and didnt get home until 11:00, I think that was the latest he has stayed out in a while Ha).... Anyway, HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD-----and Bert.... I love you both.

Crazy Day

It is now 10:10 and I am now a blogger..yeah..thanks May..I had to work today and it was very busy at the hospital..After picking up the kids we went to the grocery store.FUN..ha...I had to bribe Harper and Annellise with candy.We got home at 6:30 and no one had eaten or had baths. Alli and the kids came over to play and we watched the Daytime Emmy Awards...I just love YOung and the Restless.Ha....
