Lazy Night

So it has been a rough go for the past couple of days a awful nasty bug hit my poor little man Brody on tuesday. Luckly the bad stuff only lasted a few hours but man does it put you on edge! He was fine the net day and eating I was so afraid to feed him anything and he wouldn't have it, he wanted poptarts, bananas, along with ABC soup with meatballs somehow that just didn't sound like a great idea to me but he was good! I sent him on to school today since it had been 24 hours since his vomiting and he was okay unti he at lunch or didn't eat as his wonderful teacher said....she personally called me to tell me she thought he was not up to finishing the day and let me talk to my baby on the phone! He wanted me to come get him and he wasn't playing at recess so I rushed to his school where he informed me that he had drank chocolate milk I think that put the rest of the afternoon in the dump...He didn't get sick but he came home and stayed still on the couch for the whole afternoon until his brothers got home and he decided he was okay enough to play Super Mario Bro on the Wii! I had been at the school all morning volunteering in my older sons class for timed reading as I do every Tuesday and Thursday and had check on Brody often and he had been fine..so now the decision of what to do about tomorrow in all intense and purpose he is okay I think he will just get fatigued again...they only give you so many days for parent notes and I hate to take him to the doctor just to get something else..I know you other moms know just what I mean who want to pay a co-pay to get another sickness when you know your child has a stomach bug...Oh well I hope everyone had a good day and evening and God Bless !! We have a lot to do this weekend between two basketball games and baseball evaluations for Riley we have a jam pack day Saturday, them we plan on celebrating my sisters fiance's 30th birthday that night.. SO good night all I'm gonna go to bed now!

The Dear belated Christmas Pic's

Here are just a few of our Christmas morning its a wonderful photo op for bad hair dos! No really we have a tradition that if possible both my husbands parents and my mother stay the night to awake in the wee early morning hours to watch our crazy yet awesome sons dig in to the presents! We love they love it and the kids love it and I fix my famous cheesy ham and potato casserole and eat way to much, making it even harder to get out of the house and make our rounds to all the family! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year...I believe God has brought 2010 for us to make changes to exult him our heavenly father here on earth to the lost and troubled! We enjoyed a nice dinner out on Valentine's Day courtesy of my loving father-in-law who is by far the best father I've ever had and I love him and my entire family dearly! We are approaching our ten year anniversary and my loving and doting husband splurge and had my existing diamonds added to another to match in the lovely past present and future setting....I love it!!!! You see I haven't had my wedding rings on since the last trimester of my pregnancy with Riley and he was seven in October so it is truly a delight and privilege to wear it with honor!

Never to late for Disney pic's!

Yes we made it to Disney to celebrate Brody's birthday, yes I know it is in July but we want to visit at Thanksgiving time and boy was it a hit we loved the lights and the weather....Boy were we tired the boys were crashing before we would make it out of the parks and we would have to tote their sleepy buts my bus or monorail, we made some special memories and can't wait to go when Emery turns 5 yeah that's the magical birthday when we explore what all Disney has to offer!

Just a few pic's to catch you up!

A very excited Brody on Character Dress Up Day at CCPS (aka. Halloween)! He took the Manning families new book which by the way is a great book for future little football players all three of the boys loved it...But only Brody got to be the MVP of the day! Riley was a Motor cross/ Dirt bike rider and Emery was Woody I'll add one of him if I can find one!

Then here's a cute one of me and Riley at his classes Thanksgiving Play and my proud but LOUD son won he part of King for his volume..I'm thinking he will like drama like his mama....lol

Back Again....Yes for real!

Well to start off a lot of time has past since I have blogged and a lot has gone on! Just as in many of your lives we stay busy with our boys and their schooling and practices (oh don't forget the games) for different sports ....I honestly don't know what I would do with all the time I would have if they weren't part of my life, but thank God that he had his hand in building our lives together..... All three boys are in school so car pooling is lovely, you know trying to make it from one school to the next in traffic ( yes Cullman has traffic to all of you big city dwellers).... Emery only goes part time so we have our special days together still they are few and far between and soon will be gone, as he will be turning four in late March and is so independent it makes me crazy! He won't allow anyone to call him a baby and oh how I still want him to be as he is the last of our brewed...that is unless the Lord opens a door for adoption, anyone who is willing to say a prayer in that department for us would be so gracious. I have been in Cullman for over a year now and really enjoy the company of my new friends who make me feel like I've known them for years....We have visited a couple of churches in search of a new home church so that the boys can grow up with their classmates and be able to share with their fellow brothers and sisters of Christ! We miss our family being close and they try to visit with the boys and us as much as possible and they almost always make special events as games and such. I am starting to run and am really enjoying it but it has its challenges ,for me but my goal is to work through them so that I can reach or even pass my goal! Well I know I haven't filled you in on everything but I'm gonna try to make it a goal to blog at least once a week so that I won't feel guilty if I can't do it everyday sometimes there is not enough hours in the day without it.....

Long time!

Sorry for the drop on blogging, I have checked in occasionally and hope to do better in the near future! We've been busy with Easter parties and services along with practice and ball games for both Riley and Brody! My computer time has been limited and honestly I've not wanted to be on it, which my hubby loves! So to strike back and sit back I can do no more! I'm looking forward to the season of ball and possibly all-stars, wow ! Soon the boys will be out for the summer break and we will have time for leisure activities like the pool and beach! I am so ready for the beach we didn't go for spring break although Scott was home, and we had a wonderful time with the boys!So here's to summer and fun with the boys! Oh and by the way I've been working out and that is definitely kicking my butt! Wish me luck I'm trying to start running!

So here's the Verdict

Well we had our visit with our new pediatrician and it seemed to have gone better than expected, besides all the lovely paperwork we all dread filling out, and the copies of insurance cards and drivers license all while your three sons are everywhere. I mean at one point Emerson was in the insurance ladies lap, banging on the keyboard, and the other two had to take a pee break to check out the facilities. Riley, Brody, and Emery all loved the new doctor and I was even encouraged, they have longer hours and are open for walk ins on Saturdays till noon. The doctor even asked Riley if he would mind if he used his name, his wife is expecting another son he has one son named Reed and he liked the sound of Riley and Reed together...Riley could have cared less, but he had a comment about the name Reed of course..He said wait like " I read" and of course the doc thought it was hilarious while I was like oh well...I bet the doc went home and told his wife this is it were done three boys will put you over the edge.. We left with a prescription for a inhaler for Riley so now both Brody and Riley are consider to be asthmatic... The boys were well checked over and we had no strep just the good old stomach bug and viral infection. Of course you know I got it on Scott's weekend off at least he was here to watch the kids, but I wanted to do something..Hello I'm home all week. We tried to see Hotel for Dogs but they were sold out and so the boys were highly disturbed...So off to Walmart not my idea that would be good old daddy who is a big kid himself..I threatened them and Scott if another toy came in the house I was going to throw one out the door, really I said all of them but, it was an extreme case of toy box blow up in our den! Well wish us luck we are off to the allergist and g.i. in the a.m. for Emerson hopefully will come home with some answers... say a little prayer for my little man. Thanks Girls
