A date........ kinda

Tomorrow we are going up to Bens Brothers house. they offered to watch the kids while Ben an i go to dinner. Well that wont fly with Abigail and Matthew would be very iffy. So me, ben, mathew and Abbie are going to dinner. If Thomas was here he could watch Abbie at there house and all would be good but he's in Springdale on a mission trip building handicap ramps till Fri. So we'll take what we can get.

6 month appt.

Abbie had her shots today. Poor baby. She weighs 19.5 #'s is 27 1/4 inches tall and i dont recall what her head measured but she was 90% on her head, height and weight. She doesnt like the Dr at all. She cried the whole time, but the other kids love him. She did preety good with the shots. She started crying the second I put her on the table and stopped the sec i picked her up. No more shots till she's 1 yr old, yea.

Rainy day!!

Well, since the cleaning fairy didnt show up in the middle of the night and clean my house for me I think I'm going to take advantage of this rainy day and CLEAN my house and then we are going to make popcorn and watch a movie. YEA!! except Code does have a ball game, but if this rain hangs around i see it being cancelled

Don't know what to think

My sister called. My mom is real sick. She just keeps throwing up she has lost 11 #'s before that she was gaining a pound or so a week. He's supose to call with her ct results today, but he has also ordered a CT of her brain to see if it has spread to her brain. He said her vomiting is not the chemo. She is actually on a 3 week break from chemo. Her last one was monday and with today being thursday she is normally over the nausea and on to her sleep catch up.I leave july 12th to see her for a week. I wish i was there now. I wish i could just go be with her.

Ben and his celeb friends ;o)

Here is Ben with everybodys favorite celeb, SHREK!!!!!!

Shrek gave Ben some Shrek ears for the kids

Here is is with Weeman from the show Jack@$$, Ben said he's a pretty cool guy

Pink eye

SUCKS!!!! I have it in my rt eye. I have had it since Sunday. I went to the Dr's on tues and he said the most are caused by virus than bacteria, but he gave me eye drops anyway to help keep my eye lubricated. SOme times during the day I feel like ripping my eye out, it's driving me up the wall. Ben had brought home some drops for pink eye relief and they do get it to calm down. I cant wait until it's gone. I hope no one else gets it.

PDMD

What is that you ask??? I recently read that some dont like the name Mommy Brain so I'm calling it PDMD, Post Delivery Memory Disorder, LOL- or CIML, Child Induced Memory Loss. ;o) hmmmmm, wonder what the code would be for that.

Dreams

I was talking to my mom this morning and I remembered a dream that i hadlast night when she told me her CT is this Wed. My dream was that the tumors were tiny little dots on the scan. I have no idea what a tumor looks like on a scan or even if tiny little white dots are good, but my mom had the same dream last night. That the scan showed they were tiny little white dots. It must be good if we both dreamed it.

memories

One time at one of the many football games we went to. Betty was saying to someone that she thinks it's about time to go back to Vegas and they'll go on (such n such day) I automatically said, "that sounds good" she said,"who said you were invited" LOL I just invite myself. Ofcourse i/we were invited. We did everything together.

Doing emilys post below made me remember this.

Emily's 7th Birthday!!

Here is the cake her mom made, Yummy!!

Emily's gifts



Emmie and Kaitie

Ben teaching the kids how to play pool

(Ben and I played a game of pool and ummm I WON!!!)

One of the gifts that we got her. It looks really cool. It lights up at night

Her mom and dad got her the build a bear for at home and it was a HUGE hit!!!!

Here's Abigail, looking cute as always!

I cant believe our God Daughter is 7. Thats crazy. Wanna here a funny story. Lani and Anna didnt let anyone know they went into labor and called Betty and Bill after they had Emily. Well, I get a call from Bens brother saying they had had the baby. So i hurry across the street to Bettys and Bills and i ask Where are they???????? THEY LEFT, without ME to go see the baby!!!!!!! WHAT!!, I go everywhere with them, lol. How could they forget me. I was floored. I had to wait untill the next day and we ALL went to the hospital. They forgot me, how??????? :o) I love them and I miss them so much.

Schools out for summer!!!!!

Today was the kids unoffical last day of school!!! Their last day is really Monday but they were told that they didnt have to come. Thomas' VP said you are more than welcome to come...... but we dont want you here ;oP

She is so much better

By the time i put Abigail to bed last night I finally got her temp down and today it is 99.6 which i think is considered a normal temp now a days. So no Dr appt for her!! I'm glad I waited until today because he would have cathed her. She is still grumpy and a little more vocal about not feeling well. I think her throat is feeling better. That was one nasty virus, I believe it was worse than the flu. I have been kissing on her and have not gotten sick. Im guessing it's one of those viruses you get as a kid but are immune to once your an adult (i hope, lol)
