Baby sister Grace


The New Baby sister comes to see her brothers! Posted by Picasa
No I did not have a baby! Unfortunatly im still just as fat as I was three weeks ago and although it is Hunter and Tylers sister it is not my baby. This is Grace, Jason and Malissa's new baby girl. Well actually you cant see her face in this one but Ill put another one up later. This is just Hunter and Tyler taking their first up close look at her. We couldnt see her in the hospital becouse she was behind glass the whole time, she had some internal bleeding, I think it ended up deing alergy to the formula the hospital had given her but I dont remember. But she is doing good now and the kids arent sick anymore so Jason and Malissa brought her to see the football game. I got to hold her she is so small and sweet. She has a good temperment so far. Im excited, everybody always has boys! Its so sweet to see a PINK blanket!

This is Ty at practice...


Tylers Tackle Posted by Picasa
Tylers football season has started again. SO that seems to be where I spend my freetime lately. I took this at Ty's practice the other day. I like to practice taking pictures(mostly becouse I stink at it) at practice and hope I can catch something good in a game. But I liked this one couse it looks like he is so far up in the air. I still know absoulutely nothing about football, but I got a rele book for kids or something at barnes and Noble this weekend so maybe I will know whats going on. Hard to take cool pictures when you dont know where the ball is and why. Then they do those sneka plays where somebody runs looking like they have the ball but they dont. im hopeless. I dont think ill ever get it right. Good thing my camera lets me take a billion pictures. Then i get them home and look for the ball on the computer and crop that part! However I tend to get the quarter back or running person all the time and thats getting old. So I figured maybe I could learn what everybody else is suposed to be doing and get a picture of them doing it! I mean I know Ty is suposed to takle people and block but thats about it. Sadisnt it, especially considering how many countless hours Ive spent staring at a TV with gator games on and Jaguar games and I think I never missed a home game in Highschool. Sad but true.

Sick Sick Sick and more sick

It never fails the return to school followed by the never ending illnesses. One of them brings it home and spreads it around SLOWLY to everybody else despite my best eferts to keep the house ridiculously sanitised. I evidently dont understand where germs hide. Or maybe my Lysol is not doing its part. Anyway this time its Strep throat courtesy of Mandarin Middle school. Fun Fun Fun. Elizabeths tonsils were swolen up so big that there was maybe a quater of an inch betweenthem for air to go down her throat.From the outside it looked like goiters forming.(And that was after a day on antibiotics) Trust me it looked painful. Its been 7 days and the swelling isnt gone on one side. Then Hunter got sick, and suprise suprise Strep thraot comes with vomiting in small children. WHO KNEW? So Ive had the last two days off of work, (well work that you get paid for anyway) and I must say tha at home mom stuff is so not my mindset of the perfect life anymore. I need air, clean air, sunlight,just to go somewhere! It didnt exactly help that its been raining with the tropical stormsystem just south ofus off the coast. And guess what my roof fell in in my bedroom. Johnny fixed the leak on the roof this afternoon. Hopefully it will last long enough for me to get the crap out of this house!I think ill go rent a hotel by the week. What is that 1500 a month. It would be at least a week or two before one room full of 6 people would make me need to check in at teh looney bin. (who am I ikidding, I would never last that long) But there would be air conditioning! maybe I should go watch the news again, that will chear me up. At least the roof still exists right? And Im sure that after a few more days Hunter wont be looking at me with that face that breaks your heart becouse theres nothing you cando to help him but give him the medicine and wait for it to help. His sitting on the couch with his mouth open reading Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix for the third time.( This time he is reading it to get the AR (accelerated Reader) points for the AR store at school. It gets him 44 points. Most books only get you 4 or 5. He stops ever 15 or 20 minutes to complain about the pain and then picks up reading again. Only Hunter!
