Better Days

Things have most definitely returned to normal. Kimbell's pretty much all healed up! The girls are healthy and well...thank goodness, and mommy is back in her usual routine. Thank you for all the comments of support. I'm so lucky to have so many caring friends out there! Better days are here to stay!

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

Mally loves....

....her pink sparkly tu tu....with a passion! She could and would sleep in it if I would let her. I think it might be a little to scratchy though! Don't ya think! Looks like we'll be starting dance lessons this year.(:

Big Shoes to Fill!

I feel like my poor Kimbell gets neglected a lot due to the girls requiring so much attention so this post is for you buddy!

Bless his heart, he has had a rough week. It started Sunday with his little accident. The Knock out! Then, he had a place on his leg become infected which resulted in us spending lots of time in the doctors office and him having to get the place drained! Yes, drained! Ugh! He's on oral antibiotics now which should wipe it out, but I'm telling you... this place was swollen up the size of a baseball with fever in it! He barely complained and continued to go to soccer practice in the cold rain Tuesday night and basketball practice Thursday! What a tuffy! These girls have BIG shoes to fill!(:

I love you, buddy! Hang in there!

One of those days

It seems like since Sunday we have been having one of those days. You know the kind...where everything seems to go wrong and just fall apart before your eyes. That kind!

You know the saying...when it rain it pours. Well, the flood gates opened up on us this weekend. It started with both girls having pink eye. Then, Kimbell knocking himself unconscious when he took a fall off the ripstick. Yes, the same one I hurt my arm on and had to see the orthopedic doctor about. That one!

I feel like I need to get some yellow caution tape to block off my house with!

Luckily, he is fine, but HAS to wear a helmet from now on...and as for me...it was fun while it lasted...sorry, Elizabeth.):

I do tend to always look at the positive.(: At least we had antibiotic drops for the pink eye we started right away AND Kimbell is ok...besides the bump on his head and now a place on his leg that has become infected! Ouch!

That's a whole other story. Just say a little prayer for us...we need it!

Desperately!(:

*Oh, I nearly forgot...special thanks again to Barclay for helping me with Kimbell and to Rona for letting us just pop in your office when we're having skin issues.(: Love yal!

Valentine's Day Dinner with Friends

Molly, me, Amy, and Rona

Last night, we celebrated Valentines having dinner with friends. We got to the restaurant at 7 and didn't leave until 10! As most of you know that is way past my bedtime! It was fun though and we all left with full bellies! I just posted a picture of the girls since 1/2 the men are camera shy! Oh, well! Hope yours was as fun as mine!

Happy V'day!

I had a great night with some neighbors last night going to Mikata for dinner and a movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Mikata was a new experience for some of them and everyone seemed to like it a lot! The movie was cute and funny and everyone had a great time! I decided not to eat there since I'm heading back tonight for V'day dinner with some friends and Joe. My mouth is already watering just thinking about it.(:

Until next time ladies! Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines day!

Valentines at Ogletree Elementary School

Kimbell and Mommy
Wow! All the goodies!

My Valentine!(:

Kimbell's class at Ogletree had a little V'day party today with more treats, candy, and cards than you could ever imagine! I felt sorry for Ms. H, his teacher, when I was walking out the door because you know 2nd graders hyped up on sugar isn't pretty. They were all very thankful though and grateful. It was a lot of fun. Best of all I got a couple pictures of my Valentine...Kimbell.

Valentine's parties at Parkway

Mally and Mommy

All these goodies sure look yummy!

I want another heart cookie, mommy.


All better...look at my plate!


Another V'day party under our belt!





Whew! Two parties are over only a couple more to go! I don't remember Valentines day being this big when I was little. I'm exhausted! At least the girls loved it! OK, Kimbell's party is tomorrow so I have to get ready for that one! Wish me luck!

Sunny Sunday!

Cheeeeessseee

Hanging on for dear life!

Moes! Yummy!

What's in that hole, Claire bear??

Enjoying ice cream at Marble Slab! Mom had to get low fat yogurt!):

What an awesome Sunday we had! The weather was gorgeous and we took full advantage by staying and playing outside most of the day. I think I even got a little tan! Not to mention the vitamin D my girls needed from being stuck inside lately with the weather in the highs 30's and 40's. Of course, Kimbell was out and about so I have no shots of him.):

Enjoy the pictures!

Kids say the cutest things....Part 2!

Mally was throwing an awful fit about something the other day. Just was full of attitude and talking back to me. She hasn't been sleeping good lately and she gets MOODY without sleep!

Anyway, I told her she was sassy.

She replied, "I'm NOT sassy!"

"I'm Mally!"

I had to smile. (:

Kimbell and Claire's Push ups!

I thought this was so funny when I saw it the other night that I had to get it on tape and blog about it.

Every night Kimbell does 40-50 push ups...gaining that upper body strength you know.(: Claire and Mally love messing with him while he is working hard. So last night, Claire decided to climb aboard when he was starting! I was amazed he could still do some with 28 extra lbs. on him!

Here's the tape for you to enjoy! Roll'em!
