a really good laugh

I laughed so hard I cried! Kim called me last night and told me to check my email and to make sure Madyson was with me. So I tore her away from the TV and we opened my email. Well, Kim had made a jib-jab sendable ecard. She put Madyson's picture in the place of Vanessa Hutchins (from High School Musical) face. So in essence Madyson got to dance with Troy! I cannot even begin to tell you how funny it was~~~ She giggled the entire time and I mean giggled and could not stop! When she woke up this morning and showed her bothers~~
I am not real sure anyone else will find this as funny, but here is the link if you want to watch and imagine Madyson laughing uncontrollably!!

Daniell is off again ~~ To Atlanta this time ~~ Alex has a tournament this weekend, somewhere in south Fort Worth. We will know exactly where by Thursday! This is the last tournament for the fall, I pray they do well!
I have pre-op stuff on Monday afternoon and my procedure on Wednesday! Yippee! Have a great day!

Jury Duty!!!

Well I will start with the weekend. I had a great birthday. We had one baseball game Saturday and went out to eat with my hubby and kids. Halloween was fun, the kids had a great time. In bed a little early because, as you all know, there is nothing more important than a good night sleep before a big baseball tournament! (it didn't work...lol)
My sweet husband got me a really cute pink Garmin (GPS). I love it. I also got a really sweet key chain from my sister. It is like a charm key chain. She had a 'happy birthday', 'starbucks', and 'baseball' charm put in it. Very appropriate for me!
Monday started a long couple of days for me! I got jury duty. And got picked for the trial. It was a misdemeanor DWI. It took two days, the judge said that is not normal ~ should have been less! But the defense attorneys were terrible! It was a 6 panel jury. We all agreed he was guilty. The deliberation took about 10 minutes. I meet some nice people. The best part was we got to talk to the judge and the attorneys freely after it was all over. I do have to say I did learn alot, and even though it at times was a 'beating', it was very interesting. I am glad that I am excused for the next three years!
Daniell left this morning for somewhere ~ not sure where this time ~ He will not be back until Sunday :( We have a busy few days without him. Many places to be, and a few at the same time. Thanks to Kim and Eleanor I am able to get through the week.

ok..ok..ok...

So it has been a long time.... I have been busy!!! Let's first start with last weeks baseball tournament... Alex's team took 2nd place I will try to attach a pic (if I can figure it out) They did a great job and it was two solid day of being at the baseball field. The other two had fun playing with all the other siblings! We have another tournament this weekend...Thank goodness our Saturday games are at 3pm and 5pm... So that means that I get to sleep in on my birthday, hey maybe I will get breakfast in bed! (or at least a Starbucks)lol

I went to the doctor on Tuesday and had a procedure done where the doctor looked at my uterus to see if I needed a hysterectomy or if we could do a less invasive procedure call Nova Sure. Basically, shorter down time and NO major surgery. Considering that after 3 c-section deliveries I would have to be cut open to have a hysterectomy. So good news there, the Nova Sure is scheduled for the 19th of November.

Madyson started a program at our gym called Fit Academy. It is an hour long twice a week only for kids ages 7-11. Hopefully this will help... Kids are mean and call her names...makes me want to cry just typing this...They do 30 minutes of cardio and also teach then about nutrition and what is good and bad choices!! This will last 7 weeks and then we will see what is next. They do have 3 levels, so hopefully this will be something that will be on-going. I just pray she does well and improves her health and self-esteem.

Joshua's baseball season is over so that helps with the schedule. He just tags along with Daniell or I all the time. Thank goodness he is a go-with-the-flow kind of kid!

Is there a normal anymore???

WOW what a week this has been!!! Daniell went back to the doctor on Monday and he has pneumonia!!! He got to bring his chest x-rays home they look BAD!! Thank goodness he was not put in the hospital. Yesterday the doctor called to check on him, and of course he was not any better!! So she called him in a steroid~~ Maybe now he will get better~~ Lots of breathing treatments, antibiotics, and the list of meds goes on. He called this morning and told me he felt 90 years old because of all the medication he had to take this morning!!!

Joshua plays in his last game of the season tomorrow at 9 AM!! GO REDS!!!

Alex plays his first tournament of the fall season this weekend....they start Saturday morning at 8:00 ~~ so that means he has to be there at 7!!!! YUCK Then he plays again at 4 in the afternoon! I hope they start out the season well. GO FLOWER MOUND HUNTERS!!!

Madyson is excited to see her friend Baylee tonight for her birthday party ~ they have not seen each other in a long time!!!

Looks like another busy, but fun weekend! God Bless to all!

Can I add one more thing....

I would like to remind myself of several years ago when I had three babies and I thought my life was busy!!! What a joke!!! The days of staying at home, taking care of the house, and the kiddos.... I only wish they were back!!! I keep thinking about when my older sister told me "don't teach them to talk and don't teach them to walk" my kids that is!!! But of course I did not listen!!! Now they are older and from what I hear (and see) it does not get any easier!! But probably more interesting, and with my great friend and family, probably pretty funny too!!!
This is my schedule now!! Alex is in baseball, wrestling, and student council. Joshua is in baseball. Madyson is in a reading program. And my sweet, sweet husband travels ALOT!!! I have a full-time job, and I have ventured into a new business! After adding the wrestling schedule to the calendar, there is not a day in the week that we don't have something going on, and most days things overlap. I am sure blessed that my hubby can cook, clean, and do the laundry!!!
Daniell got home Sunday night from being gone for 5 days!!! That was a long 5 days!! Joshua had a great game on Saturday ~ Two in the park home runs ~ one was a grand slam~~ He was so excited!! Alex should start his tournaments in a couple of weeks!
My sweet hubby brought me a SWEET gift from being gone so long!! A Coach Swingpack purse and little wallet. He is so sweet!
