What a weekend!

Oh my goodness..I have never been so glad its Monday..this weekend was NONSTOP---Friday was field day and the kids had a great time, even after it was over and we were sitting on the bleachers with Harper's class-Annellise and Payton ran and ran up and down the football field..where does the energy come from? after field day Payton came home with us and we went to Clinton to Hibbett sports..I love sporting good stores..we had to buy Annellise some new New Balance tennis shoes..she needed some but her K4 program is Wednesday and she needed some to wear with her jeans...After a long afternoon-we went to the Braves game.it was fun..we got to sit up in a box seat ( a rep for Miskellys invited us) the kids had a great time..
then we woke up early Saturday, Bert went to work and Harper and I went to Brandon for baseball..he got invited to play on a tournament team..so I was at the park from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm..I had to leave (Harper was still playing and went home with a friend)...he did SO GOOD! I am so proud of him..it was so good for him to have the experience of playing with GOOD players..And I mean GOOD players..but he did AWESOME...I got a base hit EVERY time! That night was ANnellise's dance recital and she was so precious! she did SO GOOD TOO! I am so proud of both my children..I am a lucky mother to have such wonderful children- God truly blessed me..they are so much fun the older they get and it is so wonderful to watch them use their talents and abilites that God gave them! They both are very artistic and love sports and to be outside ( that is something that they did NOT get from their mother---I hated to go outside!)
Sunday we skipped church---we were worn out and my back was killing me--they kids slept until 10 am --then back to the baseball field in Brandon..they one the first game and got to play for the championship---they lost but got 2nd place in the tournament and he got a trophy---we went to Wal mart after and then home--I took 209 picture from Friday until Sunday--I will only post my favorites but there are so many good ones...Its Monday and it just starts all over--I worked today and I will work tommorrow and then I will be off---tonight Harper had bball practice and Bert had a bball game ( he is playing in thechurch league) , tommorrow bball practice again, Wednesday is Annellise's play, Thursday is Harper's game and Saturday Bert is off annd we are going to a wedding..so I have another busy week again---next weekend we are going to Memphis for Presley's 1st Birthday---we cant wait for that...I cant wait to get some Presley love--ha!

Poor baby! she came home yesterday with fever of 102 and woke up this morning with fever of 103.6 ...she was so pitiful! Bert took her to the doctor this morning and she has a severe sinus like infection..her throat is really red and she has puss pockets in the back of her nose..I have never heard of this and it really sounds gross so I am sure she feels really bad..I am at work and just waiting for the time to go home...We are going to be shut up all this weekend it looks like. Annellise has a baseball game tommorrow that she is going to miss and we all really wanted to go to Paytons game tommorrow too...Oh well, Anyway not much else going on...my cousin Nichole had her 1st baby on Sunday..she was 6 weeks early ( Nichole's water broke at her baby shower in Alabama and she lives in Hattiesburg) Little Marley had a little trouble breathing and had to stay in NICU then they found out she had a problem where her esophagus and stomach didnt connect so she was rushed to University her in Jackson and had surgery today and she did fine...in fact she should go home next week...she is so precious..her family baby shower was suppose to be on Sunday so I guess now they will reschedule it..anyway I better go home now..it 4:30

Baseball and Cancer Walk!

It has finally started--Baseball! yeah! Last weekend both games got rained out so they were ready this weekend..Harper played Thursday night and did so good! I am so proud of him..I wasnt sure how he would do not being with his friends from last year but he has been fine. Annellise had a game Friday night, Harper spent the night with Russell so we just had her with us..after the game we went with Alli and her family to eat at Mcalisters...This morning we woke up early and went to walk in the kids Race for the Cure Cancer walk...the kids got tshirts and I had made signs for their backs that said " I am walking in memory of my Grandmama Farilyn Bell" they were so cute and I think they had fun walking/running---it was for a good cause anyway! Then off to the Baseball field for Annellise's game at 11:15 and Harper's game at 1:00...needless to say I am worn out and I still have clothes to wash and iron..Maybe they will go to bed early since we have been nonstop all day...I cant believe we had no birthday parties this weekend..I think its the first time in a long time.....I am so happy that you finally got a blog Erin! yeah!

Its been a while........

Its been a long time since I have written--we have been pretty busy..baseball and little sweeties has started and we practice 2 times a week and Harper has started Trac Kids which is like a "boot camp" for kids...he seems to like it which I dont understand..who would want to run laps and get "exercise" on purpose----ha--- we have gotten 2 new things recently..a new basketball goal in the backyard..I really didnt think they would use it but my little Annellise LOVES it..I really think if she keeps it up she will be a good ball player, she is definately tall enough...when she woke up Saturday morning at 9 the first thing she wanted to do was go outside and play basketball...we also got a Go Cart..it is so much fun! Bert got it Friday and they rode it around the neighborhood and yesterday we went to Hazlehurst and rode and rode on mom and dads yard..they had the best time..even Caki drove it! We have gone to so many parties lately and this Saturday Annellise had a ballgame at 11:30, Harper has one at 1:00, then we have one birthday party at 2 , and another one at 4....I have no idea how we will get to everything and on Friday they have no school and we have a birthday party to go to at 4 and another one at 5:30...luckily they are right down the street from each other...Annellise went to a party on Saturday too at Pump it up...it seems like that is all we do on the weekends and now we have ballgames to add into the mix...its just me to because Bert works every Saturday but 1 each month...speaking of his work, we went out to eat at Shapleys on Saturday night with the Miskelly people..it was lots of fun and good food, especially the Lemon Ice Box pie....I better go, I need to paint a bullatin board for a gift...there is always something that needs to be done..I dont think it iever ends..ha.,.......

Another egg hunt at school

today we had Harper's Easter egg hunt..it was fun too, I was surprised at how excited 2nd graders still were to hunt eggs..that age is so cute...SO different from the 1st graders I helped with earlier in the week..After school ( it was a half day) we went with Harper's 2 best friends Russell and Jack Henry and Russell's mom Alice to BackYard Burger..the kids had so much fun playing on the "playground" its funny that it is in Byram and we have never eaten there inside, the playground is SO nice and CLEAN! we will definatly be going back. Harper went home with Russell to spend the night so its just the girls this afternoon...So far all we've done is clean and wash clothes ( well I have and she has played Polly Pockets and watched the Disney Channel....I want to brag on my little Harper for a minutep-today at school his teacher Mrs. Engels pulled me aside and told me how much she has enjoyed Harper and told me that Harper is a "very special child to her and she will never forget him and that it has meant so much to have him in her class" I thought that was the sweetest thing and it almost made me cry--of course you always think your child is wonderful but it really means something that the person that spends most of their week with him thinks so too......my Harper is so sweet and I thank God that he gave him to me to raise...what a wonderful '"job" that is! ( I also think that about my little sweet pea too)!

Egg Hunt!

Today was Annellise's class egg hunt..it was lots of fun..we started at 8:30 this morning and have been going all day..they had a jumping thing, played games like carry the egg in the spoon race, bean bag toss, sack races, and they decorated eggs ...after that we hunted eggs and ate a little snack before getting back in the jumping thing...I was so mad because I got there and my battery on my camera was DEAD! I was so mad..I kept going in the girls house and plugging up my charger and charging some juice and would go back and take a few pictures then go back and charge again.....not fun! I really do need to buy a back up battery.....Annellise also had dancing and baseball practice today too...she was sound asleep by 8:30....Harper has his egg hunt and party tommorrow ( if its not raining, right now it is thundering and raining a little) He had baseball practice tonight too..thank goodness Bert was off so I could get them there at both places at the same time..( Bert took him and I took Annellise)
Today was a sad day...we put my sweet Max to sleep...he had just gotten so CRAZY! last night he started screaming ( it scared us all to death!) because he got lost and was behind my chair in the living room and couldnt get out...then he wouldnt leave my room this morning, he was facing my nightstand and couldnt figure out what to do..he also just lost his bladder for no reason in the middle of the floor when I was trying to let him out to go to the bathroom. It was like he was completely blind and lost his way and was so scared! Bert called the vet and he said that he was more than likely blind...We just couldnt see him that way..it was both breaking my heart and making me mad ( the not minding me and peeing all over the floor and his bed and I have to clean it up 99% of the time) It was just time for him to go...we loved our Max ( he was our first baby, we got him 1 month after we got married when we were in Texas) I will miss him!.....
