pics of mexico and christmas eve

Some of our pictures got deleted so I am working on getting some from my sis...We had so much fun! Here are some of the pics!

woo hoo

Okay everyone.......we are leaving for Cancun tomorrow morning!! I am sooooo excited...I can't sleep because I have a million things to do..I still have to wrap all the presents...At least I have bought them all...We come home late on the 23 sooo every Christmas thing has to be done!! OH Dave gave me my present early!! A digital camera...so yes there will plenty of pictures...I am so excited that Alexis is going to swim with the dolphins while she is there..It is our Christmas gift to her....she wants to be a Marine Biologist so this will really be such a wonderful gift. Okay....got to run...I have a million things to get done on my list today..so bye for now..I will be thinking of you all while drinking strawberry pina colada's and lemon drops on the beach next week! Oh yes aslo I had a mamorgram yesterday (ouch) and an ultrasound of my breast and they said that the dr. didn't see anything on either test!!!! Yeah !! WOO HOO!! Thank You God and to all of you who prayed!

Test results

So......I got some test results back and they didn't see anything..everything looks normal!...so my doctor thinks it was a kidney stone that passed...The pain is nearly all gone!! Yay! so I guess my prayers were answered!! I have one more test on friday the 14th ...I won't get the results until after christmas...so more prayers for that test please.....It is mamogram..Yuck...the DR. found a lump that she really thinks is a cyst..but is going to have it checked out anyway...I am sure she is right but it is hard not to worry. On a happy note....I ordered a bunch of stuff from Target.com for our Cancun trip and most of it got here today!! We leave on the 16 and arrive home on the 23...Just in time for Christmas!! I am so close to finishing my first college class..I have a group project due on monday then a final on wed..then I am done.....So far I have an A..so unless I fail the next two things I will most likely continue with my A... I will be so glad when it is over...It is really time consuming and require hours and hours of work! I am really looking forward to Christmas..It is my favorite time of year...So far it has been a wondeful season.....I told Dave I want a digital camera for Christnas so soon I will have more pics to put up!!

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!
