Yuck!

Well, I have spent the last couple of days doing absolutely nothing!!! Monday I woke up and felt like I had hardly slept. I got up and got ready for work like usual. I woke the kids once I was ready so they could get dressed and I could fix Morgie's hair for school. Off to work I went, but all I wanted to do all day was sleep. I kind of had a feeling that I might be coming down with something. I stuck out work and came home. I had the chills. I put on my winter pj's and laid around. I took my temp and sure enough, I had a fever. I slept on and off the rest of the afternoon and after dinner. I was in bed around 7:00pm! That is very unusual. I slept a lot yesterday. People at work had been sick with the aches and pains and stomach ache. I went to bed last night pretty early again, only to wake up around 3'ish with a migraine. I got up around 5:30 to get my shower for work, but my head was hurting so bad I could barely see straight. I get migraines, but I didn't know if it was that or part of the virus I had. I was so sick to my stomach that I couldn't go to work. I slept until about 11 and got up and went to the couch and dozed on and off for another couple of hours. The kids got out of school early and the neighbors had them over for a couple of hours to play. Thank God! Chris stayed home with me most of the day. He is so sweet! He is always such a big help when I don't feel good. He went out later in the afternoon to work and did very well. I just hope no one else catches what I had.

The kids are doing very well in school. Tomorrow night is Morgan's open house at school. She is so excited. She has been talking about it for days!!! Bryson came home from school with dirty legs and muddy clothes. The boys were playing football. Apparently the ground had not had a chance to dry up. Oh well! Boys will be boys. He is definitely 150% boy!

Well, I hope all is well with everyone. Take care!

God Bless!

Lord, give me strength!!!!

I finally have the pictures posted!! The boys got a hold of my camera and I thought I would put a few pics of them on here! Goofy kids!

How sweet is this?!

Here is the pictureof the fight Morgan and Bryson got into the other night. This was after what Morgan thought was a victory. You can see the devious smile on her face and Bryson's feet hanging out of the tub and the shower curtain over his head. Nice!

*****Edit- I am having some issues downloading the pics of my kids. I will try yo figure out what is wrong and post them later!

I just don't understand why siblings can't just get along with each other! Our two younger kids get a long for the most part, but look out when they get going! I get so tired of breaking up fights! Morgan will be playing so well all by herself.......but then here comes Bryson. He will tease her so bad until finally, she has had enough and she will unleash on him. Today was one of those days! Here is a picture of the result of the fight. Please tell me I am not the only mom breaking up fights!

God Bless!

Fun Weekend!!!

My husband and I went away Saturday night. My sister in law and her husband offered to take the kids Saturday night. My sister offered to keep the kids. I had her take the kids Sunday until we got home. We went out for dinner on Saturday. It was nice. We just took our time and enjoyed each other's company. After dinner we drove around enjoying the scenery and then we went for dessert. I love my kids to death, but I didn't realize how much Chris and I didn't talk because the kids would be talking or we were stopping fights or listening to them being loud making each other laugh. So needless to say, it was nice to be able to hear each other talk and to just take our time and relax.

Anyways, we came back to reality late afternoon yesterday. Everything went smooth with the kid's sleepover with their cousin. I knew they would be fine. So we picked the kids up, had dinner and got back into the same routine for school/work nights. So that was our weekend. Oh, Bryson had a soccer game on Saturday. We lost. I was a little dissapointed because the team that we played was undefeated. I was hoping our team was going to be the team to beat them. Oh well. The kids are having fun out there, that's all that matters.

Hope you all have a great week!

God bless!

Hello!

Well, it's been a long time since I have been on here to share. Life has been busy. work, school, homework, soccer practice and games. It wears me out to just type it all in. I think I have the hang of posting pics. They are all of our kids.

School is back in session. Trevor is a sophmore ane driving. WOW! He is having fun so far. He has a great group of friends. He was sad to see summer go, but I think he is enjoying being at school with his friends. He is taking art this year. He says they haven't done much as far as drawing goes, but he is looking forward to it.

Bryson has a great teacher again this year. He is having fun with his friends and is already saying that he wants to be challenged a little more. He is loving soccer! I am one of the assistant coaches for his team and I am having a ball! It is so much fun! Bryce is averaging about 4 goal per game. He is a spitfire out on the field. Him and another little boy on hius team seem to connect really well and when they both are forwards, they tend to score quite a bit.

Morgan entered into kindergarten without any hitches. Last year, pre-school was rough at first. We sent her the first couple of days kicking and screaming. Turns out she ended up being the "social butterfly of the class" per her teacher. She love school this year and has a really good teacher as well. She is looking forwad to learning how to read.

Chris and I celebrated 8 years of marriage this past Tuesday! My how time flies when your having fun. It's hard to believe that Trevor was Bryson's age when Chris and I got married. He stood up for us in our wedding. Watching the video reminds us how fast our kids grow up.

Well, that about wraps things up for now. I have two kids in line waiting for their turn on the computer!

God bless!
