yucky yucky

So .......My Dr.s think I have a kidney stone or a cyst on my ovary...All I know is that I am in tons of pain.. I went and had a cat scan with an I.V. dye today...Now I have to wait 3-5 business days.I hope they find whatever it is and take it out...I have been praying but I am such an anxious person..I just want to know what it is ...and fix it...Well I guess I will work on my patience for now....I have other tests I have to do that I am not excited about..Then more waiting...one test in particular I am worried about I have to wait till Friday the 15 to take then wait wait for more results...Well I know God is in control and it might help me grow to learn calm patience... hmmmmm I guess I will just be happy to be healthy (as far as I know) in this moment! It also a blessing that all my children and husband are well. God has really blessed us and sometimes I need to be reminded of that!

Report Cards

Alexis got 5 A's and 2 B's!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!! I am so proud of her....This what her teacher said word for word "Alexis is a wonderfully engaged and responsible student. She presents herself well in class, is polite empathetic and well liked by her peers. Alexis has outstanding skills in reading and comprehension. Lexi is articulate and an active participant in classroom discussions. It is my pleasure to have her in class." Yes I know crazy huh??? I told the teacher that she had her pegged to the T...Also she won the citizenship award for her class!!! WOOO HOOO.....Cole got all 3's on his report card....His teacher said he tested the highest in the whole class in math at the beginning of the trimester and the end!!! Hi teacher said that all 3's(they go by numbers in K-3.... 1 being the lowest and 3 the highest) Is the equivalent to straight A's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Cole......wooo hooooo......His teacher is a man so he didn't write much but he did say that Cole also is doing outstanding and got all O's (outstanding in citizenship) Sorry I am bragging but I am just so proud of them......They both have struggled with math in the past and to have come up sooo far is unbelievable....My kids are so smart and soo incredibly sweet and kind!! Go Lex and Cole!!!! They are so awesome!!! Love their mom!!

soooo

Well not much has happened lately..pretty much the same old stuff but I did pack the kids for Mexico!! Yeah, We are not leaving for another 4 weeks but I felt I needed to pack and take inventory to see what the kids need... Since it is going to be hot there it was easy to just pack their summer clothes..Anyway I only need to get a few things...Teri got a new car..pretty cool..it is a chrysler pacifica...Also Dave is in Santa Cruz again for the second week and he will only be home saturday night and leave again Monday Morning......so sad but at least he is working!!! Next week he will have two days off for Thanksgiving and the friday after! Today I have off because I am going to have conferences with the kids' teachers and get their report cards! I hope they are doing well...I know they do ALL their homework all the time and do pretty well on their tests so I am sure they are doing fine...(by the way becca, lex got an A on that math test we watched her take!!)Still I always get a little nervous when it is conference time...I am sure I will be super nervous next year when my littlest man enters school..He sure is a handful...Not much more to say...I hope all of you are having a marvelous day!

Lexi's sleep over...Becca's Baby shower...Me and Becca in the kitchen..look at her belly!!

Crazy whirlwind week

So last week my sis n law Becca was here!! It was so fu n but so busy....I hate to see her go but look forward to seeing her back with Blake and Cara...She really began to look pregnant by the end of her stay....The kids really love her and Uncle Blake ...We all wish we lived closer!!I can't tell you (blog readers?) how nice it is to have a Best friend in a sister n law... to be married to brothers who were practically best friends growing up and to share so many similar situations i so comforting....When Becca is here it is nice to talk with each other about our similar husbands...When all four of us are together it is probably one of the most happiest times of my life....I think God chose good wives for our husband's..It never sises to amaze me that God has such infinite wisdom. When we turn our hearts and lives to God his love overwhelms me.. God has truly blessed our lives to have Blake and Becca be apart of our family!! ..................... My daughter just turned ten!! Here are a few pics of her sleep over!! Her first time having a slumber party!! Wow I was tired in the morning!!!......................Any way I am looking forward to a great couple of months..The Holidays are coming and I just love this time of year!!! We will be spending Thanksgiving with my family this year...We alternate years and this is my family's turn....This year I am so glad to be spending Thanksgiving with them.....There are a lot if new changes this year with Dave's family and I am glad to sit this one out till all the kinks get worked out...In December there will be holiday parties and I am looking forward to going to Dave's company party!! His aunt and uncle always go(love them) and so do Nick and Kayla and Timmers...It is always so fun and neat that his family works for the same company and we all get to get dressed up , have a nice dinner and Dance together and win prizes!! Then in mid December we are all going to Cancun with my family!! A week of Paradise!!!!!! Then we get home on the 23 just in time for Christmas!! Anyway time to get the kids ready for bed and start on my own homework!! Have a fabulous day!!
