On the mend

Well, Daniell went to the doctor...she ran a flu test, thank goodness it was negative. So he just has a BAD viral infection! He was in bed for two day with 102 fever. He started alternating Tylenol and Advil every two hours all day! I took Joshua to the doctor yesterday also... he just has a really bad cold, she gave him some Rx cough med and told him to take it easy!
We all went to Joshua's game last night~~Daniell got out of bed for the game (silly, silly, man) ~~ but I am sure Joshua loved that he was there! We had Hunter and Brandon with us~~It's always fun to have people come watch the games! Hopefully Daniell is taking it easy today, so he will get better!

The Infirmary

Well ~ i think everyone in the house is sick, but me!! Mainly just allergies, but who knows! Daniell's is really bad ~ He has been running a fever all weekend ~ Last night it was 102.8 ~ Kinda high for an adult! He is at the doctor this morning!
Joshua had a great game on Saturday ~ He hit a triple ~ right over the right-fielders head!
The boys spent the night with there great friends Hunter and Brandon on Saturday night! They always have such a good time with them ~ it is amazing, there is no bickering or fighting, the four of them have so much fun!!!
Sunday was a pretty lazy day ~ Just trying to have everyone rest and get well!
Joshua has a late game tonight ~ not til 7:30! This will make for a crazy late evening!

11 years today

Today is our 11 year anniversary. Daniell gave me a new pink ipod nano ~ it is so cute ~ and pink!! Kim has offered to keep the kiddos tonight so we can go to dinner~~thanks Kim! I need to figure out something to give him~~the only problem with that is, when he wants something he goes and buys it~~so I don't really know what to get him!
I am a little annoyed at my doctors office. I had some tests ran on Friday, they said the results would be back on Monday.... Well I called right before lunch today and asked they had the results and the lady said "yes they are here and someone will be calling you today" ~~~ That just stinks, now I get to ponder what 'might' be wrong with me!!! I will keep you posted! Have a great afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (that's for you little sister)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

it's monday again

Good Morning!



We have had a great week and weekend! Alex ran for Treasurer for the Student Council at school, and won!!! He had to give a speech in front of the entire 4Th and 5Th grade class! His teacher said he was the first on to give a speech (that had to be very nervous). He is so excited and I am really proud of him!



Saturday Joshua had a game he did great~~ hit a triple!! Saturday evening we did a little rearranging in the house - Daniell started the laundry - the kids played - great weather and very relaxing.



Sunday we went to the Klinkos and watched the first football game and have pizza - Alex had conditioning, Joshua went with him and Daniell (it makes him feel like he is so big when he works out with Alex's team) ~ Madyson, Kim and I went to Highland Village and shopped around ~ had a girl's afternoon!



I am so excited Grey's starts this week!! I just only wish the girls would stop kissing other girls!

it has been a while!

we had a great weekend! it was a little busy - doing it with Daniell out of town is a little crazy, but we survived~

saturday - Joshua had his season opener for baseball - he did a great job! they lost by 3..... not bad for the first game!!
my sister Kim came over and put a permanent curl reducer on my hair, because it is CRAZY curly - NOT NOW~~ we had lots of fun, but it did take 4 hours. my sweet friend Megan came in town and hung out saturday afternoon and night! i just love her ~ she is so funny and is such a great friend~ we went shopping and ate dinner at Logan's (of course with the my kids because Daniell is out of town). we were sitting at the table and the boys start throwing peanuts into the bucket on the table.... i was okay with that..no big deal. then Megan pretended to throw one in the bucket and threw a peanut right at Joshua! they (the kids) were a little shocked for a moment - then started laughing - and then.... peanuts went flying!!! it was so much fun!!!

sunday we headed to Kims to do Trey's girlfriends hair - the kids brought there bikes and played in the neighborhood! then Alex went to practice and we had HomeTeam!

Daniell got home really late last night...not really sure when...all i know is that he was in the bed when i got up to go to work this morning! i am so excited about the weather this week!

Test for Amy

Did this work?

annie!!

Last night was pretty quiet around the gage household! Joshua went to practice, alex played in the neighborhood and madyson played her friend down the street. madyson and i started watching the movie 'annie'. i had told her i loved the movie when i was little. she was so funny about every 15 minutes she would ask me a question: why is there all girls at that house? what is wrong with that lady? is she drunk? why is she drink the water out of the flower vase? mom, what really happen to her parents? are her parents going to come and get her? why would someone leave there kids in a place like that? how do you know all these songs? but i think the best was the comment - 'mom they sure had some pretty houses back then, but the clothes are not so cute! oh my goodness - it was so funny! so i started dinner and the movie was still on~~~ all the boys came home and were totally irritated that they had to watch the rest of the movie and could not put on the football game!! daniell even looked at me and motioned that he was going to slit his wrists!! i assured them the torture would not last much longer! all was well they caught the last half of the game!!

one more thing to the schedule

schools is back in full swing. madyson is back to the library every week. joshua started back with baseball, practice on tuesday, thursday and sometimes friday. alex starts back with baseball on sunday, his practices will be wednesday and sunday, and batting trainer on thursdays. and alex comes home from school yesterday and says 'hey mom guess who made student council?' YEP it is him! so one more thing to the schedule... i am excited for him. he was chosen by the 5th grade teachers and then voted by his peers. i don't know what i would do without a full calendar...probably be REAL bored---or have a clean house! :)

long weekend!

we had a great long weekend!! helped kris paint and decorate hunters room! it is so awesome! and we went to six flags... yes on labor day...we went to six flags..kind of crazy, but lots of fun.... 2 adults 6 kiddos! daniell came back in town on sunday! happy to have him home for a while!!!

i have to share the sweetest thing that happened! let me preface this with, my son alex, who is 10, is a raging ball of hormones! (even growing hair under his arms YIKES) - so he is being a great big jerk, especially to his brother and sister! okay.... kim and i are in the garage, stripping madysons dresser. madyson comes outside and is mad because alex is being mean and says 'he has to act sooo cool around his friends'!!! i tell her that i know and i am real sorry to just ignore him for now! so about 10 minutes later she comes back outside, eyes full of tears, but not crying! i ask her what was wrong... she, not crying yet, asks me if it was wrong to THINK bad things about someone? i said "what?" now the tears flow and she says (in the middle of crying) "i said two curse words about alex in my head and now i feel really, really bad!" thank goodness kim was there, because i really was not sure what to say to her. kim was great, she told her about how wonderful it was that we have Jesus in our hearts, all we have to do is ask Him for forgiveness and it is done! what a sweet heart she has! (also thank goodness, a conscience too :) )
