End of the Year Party

Carter had his End of the Year Party today where they jumped in inflatables and ate pizza. He has had a great year and we have LOVED having Ms. Jo. Carter has learned so much this year!! I know he will miss all of his friends this summer, especially Marlee Grace. Of course they will still see each other, just not 4 days a week like they are use to:)

Praying...

Kayleigh Freeman (who I mentioned a few posts back) has gone to be with the Lord. The pictures and words from her family are truly heartbreaking. I just cried and cried when I saw all of that. PLEASE say a special prayer for them as they say goodbye for now to their sweet angel.

Happy Mother's Day

I hope all of the mommies out there had a WONDERFUL day. Being a mommy is truly the greatest joy and I can assure you that not a day goes by that I don't think God for the opportunity he gave us :) Josephs' parents came over after church and we had fillets and all the sides then tonight we went to my parents and grilled out again. I went and got my toes done this afternoon and enjoyed some time away. As you can from the pictures, our attempts of a photo didn't go so well....





"The kids" gave me a diamond necklace that I have been wanting, I think you can see it in one of the pictures. I gave his mom and my mom these, and they LOVED them.

Engagement Party

Joseph's cousin, Paige, is getting married this Fall and tonight they had an Engagement Party. Here is a pic of the happy couple, Paige and Steve



The best part about this couple is...


that Steve is my best friend Trisha's brother :) We now say that we will be family!!

A cool fruit display



They had a cute cake (which Paige and her mom were not happy with, they thought it looked too young, but I liked it and liked it even more because it came from Edgars :)



These two played



And played



This priss pot is going thru a BIG mommy phase and would NOT let me put her down and would not have anything to do with anyone but me, not even Joseph. Needless to say, my back is really hurting from carrying her ALL DAY! This is what she did anytime I put her down



I had to document this moment, because it was one of the three times she was not in my arms and it was because she was trying to get a grape from Jordan..LOL

Still Playing

Carter has a few more games left, then he will be finished. He will actually miss his last game, because we will be at the beach. I have really enjoyed watching him and Bentley LOVES to go see him in the dugout ;)

Jump, Jump, Jump

Carter got a Trampoline for his birthday and I'm not sure who likes it more, him or Bentley...LOL

My Babies

This baby girl was feeling anything, but "Super" yesterday. I woke her up from a 4 hour nap to find her in throw up and with a 105.5 degree fever. To say I freaked, would be an understatement. I called the nurse and told her what was going on and she asked if I was dressed and I replied yes, then she told me to walk out the door and get up there. I was watching a friends children , so I grabbed everyone up and threw them in thecar; Carter was most concerned because he had on no shoes. I dropped the kids off and we headed up there. My father-in-law came by and picked up Carter and took him home and got him ready for his game, I can't thank him enough for that! I was worried about him not having me or Joseph at the game (who is out of town) but at that moment I had bigger concerns and that was figuring out what was wrong with Bentley. They immediately took her back and gave her Tylenol and stripped her down and put cold washcloths on her and gave her some pedialyte and within hours about 20 minutes, her fever started to come down. The Dr. said her ear was "bulging" about to rupture and the fact that she had a fever virus the previous days just sent her fever skyrocketing. He gave her a Rocephin Shot and Omnicef. An hour later, she was feeling much better.He told me to wake her every 3 hours last night and alternate between Tylenol and Motrin to make sure her fever didn't spike again. Needless to say, I did not sleep worrying about her. She is better today. Praise God for modern medicine, shots, and g-parents who dropped everything to be with us and help out :)



This little Superhero was a big boy last night playing ball without Mommy or Daddy there (I did make it for the last minutes :) He did so good and his coach sent Joseph this sweet emil this morning that made me cry. I am forever grateful to God for allowing me to raise these two precious angels!!!!

I'm sure you have gotten a report by now, but Carter did an excellent job last night. He was a little lost without you at first, but he came around. He hit the ball very well. I know you've got to be proud of him, because I sure was. I was on first base with him and when he noticed that his mommy was out there watching I don't think I've ever seen a bigger smile on a little fellow. He hit well and we had his attention all night. I know we haven't really given out game balls or anything like that this year, (especially since we don't keep score) but I think Carter should have the one from last night. I think it might be cool for him. I'll give that to you on Saturday, if you don't mind him having it. Pat him on the back when you see him, he did good.
