Memorial Day Weekend

So, I have been procrastinating a bit on blogging about my weekend. It was SO busy, I need to relax for the rest of the week! Who can blame me!? My most favoritest cousin, Ashley, her daughter Athena, and my other cousin Jennifer came to visit from Little Rock. We had a blast!

We took the kids swimming Sunday morning before the thunderstorms started. Let me tell you, Ryan is a complete water baby! That kid took to the water, splashing, wading, playing with the ball, etc! He also thought it was hilarious when the other 2 kids would swim and kick their feet. Apparently, it's funny. I don't get it. lol

We also went bowling that afternoon. My butt and my thighs are a testament to how much fun we had! lol I don't think they could possibly be more sore! Other than that, we sat around playing guitar hero and teaching Athena and Dalton to play!

In NO particular order, some pics below, just so I can show off my adorable kids, and my adorable cousin Athena! Honestly, I just didn't want to straighten them out in order of occurence. See? I'm STILL being lazy!

Can't blame me for the blurriness in this one! See, I'm IN the picture; therefore, I cannot be taking the picture and be blamed for the horridness! lol

Yes, I know my..ahem...chest area was about to pop out. No, it's not just a bra. It's a shirt.

I LOVE this picture!!!

Ashley and Jennifer. Jennifer actually was wearing rainbow colored sneakers to match the bow in her hair. I wish I had her shoes. lol

Quit mumbling and grumbling. This wasn't out of laziness. No matter how hard I tried, I could NOT get the dang picture to turn over!!! It's even turned the right way under "My Pictures!"

Have to dig in the dirt!

Even girls can get dirty!

Pomp and Circumstance

My little man had his Pre-K graduation Friday night!

I just about bawled my eyes out! It was SOOOOOOOO cute!

They sang a few adorable songs..the one that goes, "If allll the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops..." They also sang one about wearing black socks...it was really weird, but completely cute! They also sang another one that I completely forgot, because I was too busy taking video after video of it!

They gave flowers to their mommies, which DID make me cry a little, and then they walked to get their "diplomas."

As you can see from the pictures below, it was an AMAZING night, and I can proudly say that I am the mother of a kindergartner now...well in the fall anyways! lol

(Of course, my child was the only one picking his nose..sigh)

Professional Pics!!!!!

Poor, poor, pitiful me...shoot me now.

I have the flu.

Or some ridiculous stomach bug that thinks it's the flu.

Or is so impressed by it's bigger, more annoying, brother that it feels the need to do everything that the other does.

Remember that whole, "I can do anything you can do better, I can do anything better than you. No you can't. Yes I can. No you can't. Yes, I can; Yes, I can; Yes, I can!!"

Yeeeaaahhhh.

You know I'm sick if I'm quoting obscure songs.


In other news, my almost-11 month old is WALKING!! Yep. He figured out how to stand up all by himself without any support yesterday. And withina couple of hours Dean and I had him walking (holding onto our hands, of course). Considering he figured out how to stand all by himself, and then walk within a couple of hours apart, I'm in trouble. lol. It won't be long now!

Crashes and such

So, I spent part of the day at Memorial Hermann Hospital since my mom totaled her car by spinning across 4 lanes of traffic and slamming into a Beamer and a concrete abuttment.

I attempted to blog from my phone while I was there, but if you see below, apparently those didn't come across the way I INTENDED them too...at all. Ahem.

Anyways, she's ok. She hit her head pretty hard, but if she has a concussion, the doctors said it is slight since her pupils are equal and reactive. No indentions or swelling on her head either. But she does have a sprained neck and a sprained back, so she's not entirely happy right now.

Anytime someone has a head injury, or even a possible head injury, doctors do not give them narcotics for pain, since it can mask neurological symptoms of a worse injury than thought. About the strongest you're going to get is Naproxen...which they gave her. Which she's not happy about either.

But I'm just glad she's ok! I actually kind of felt worse for the poor little kid (about 7 years old, maybe younger) who was in there with a broken arm. The nurses were trying to get a sling on his arm, and the poor guy was sobbing his little heart out!

Anyways, back on topic, you can totally ignore the previous posts, because, well...they don't make sense! lol I would delete them, but it's kind of funny.

No?

Well maybe that's just me.
