Sleepy

After meeting the Hughes and dropping off the boys, I needed to go and see my sweet Katie get married. Well, as I am driving back from the Interstate----I can barely stay awake, and believe me…me staying awake is not a problem, falling asleep-yes. I knew I was in trouble and asked the Lord to help me make it home safely.

I did and about 12:00 I ate a little lunch and told WB that I was going to get on the couch and watch a little t.v.----not, I woke up at 2:00! I was so sad that I had missed the wedding because I love all of them so much! But, I also know when I have reached my  limit and I had. The lack of sleep was overwhelming and I hate I missed it!!! But Katie knows I love her and she will understand, and guess what….they are still married, even if all of us did not get to go!!! Love you guys!!!

Want to see the pictures some time!!!

The Boys

Well, Cayla and Ryan are going on a little vacation with some friends. I am keeping the boys part of the time and Susie part of the time.

Cayla brought them over late Wednesday night, I told her Thursday morning…lol! But who can pack with these two, right??? LOL!!!  Oh well! It was around one before Cayden went to sleep, he knew something was up! I put him in the pack-n-play and Bentley in the bed with me and WB.

Thursday we had a pretty good day. We even rode on the golf cart for a little bit. I got Papa to make a seat belt for Bentley’s car seat!!!

Then Friday came and Bentley was not a very happy baby!!! Nor was Cayden!!!

They did go to bed earlier tonight, around ten. At one or so, I kept hearing Cayden toss and turn and his breathing just did not sound right. I went up stairs and checked on him----running a fever, not good!!! I gave him some Tylenol and we went to the couch. I really did not sleep much from that point on.  I talked to Cayla and she is calling them to see what the dr wants to do. Now bear in mind we were just in their office on Monday with him…..and a week or two before that with both of them! He is on an antibiotic, soooo---I figured that they would probably just change that to something else, nooooo! They call us back at 11:00, I am 25 to 30 minutes away, and what do they say-----you need to bring him on in, really??? Me and two babies, are you kidding me???

Ok we are in the car and on the way----I know it is Friday and they close at 12:00. I talked to Cayla and told her to call them back and tell them that they had better not lock me out of that office or I will be really upset!!!!! She called them back and the receptionist tells her that they are closing early today, I guess they failed to tell the nurse??? I turned around and went back to the house, so glad we called. This happened once before at the same office, how they get voted best in Val. I will never know---except the must have a trillion patients!

I am trying to decide how I will take both of them to Youth Care??? Hmmm---hello Casey!!! I need help!!! Thank goodness!!! Laura said she would keep Isabella and then Kylie wanted to stay there also. So Casey stayed and I took Cayden on.

We waited and waited and waited. Guess who is on call??? Dr. Anderson! I love him as a person, nice man…..but, enough said! I am thinking at this point. He is not going to give us anything, we have sat here all this time and he is just going to say…Well, it just needs to run its course, etc!!! Well, what do ya know? I was wrong! He asked if he had ever been diagnosed with Asthma?

No, but they did give him breathing treatments! Get back on those and he gave us a RX for some more meds! He is a sick little man.

On the way to the car, he decides to press the button on my keys. Yep, it was the panic button! No one came…lol!!! I finally got him in his seat, and cranked up the car. OK, all is well! But then, my car is acting crazy…it does not want to go and a few lights are blinking! What next I am thinking. I called WB and told him, he is telling me this and that----and to turn it off and let it reset. I did and it was just fine. I am assuming that it is a safety feature in case someone is stealing your car!!! Oh my!!!!

On to the pharmacy! It was around ten when we got home!!    I am exhausted!!! Bless Casey’s heart, her and Bart were life savers!!! She went and got her girls, brought her cradle swing and the whole family came and stayed with us Friday night! She stayed up with Bentley and Isabella (Miss Night Owl) so I could get some rest!!!

Bart slept up stairs, Papa and Kylie in our bed, Cayden and I in another room and Casey, Isabella on the couch and Bentley in the swing!!! A house full!!! It thundered and stormed early in the AM. Cayden and I did not hear one bit of it!!!

Now, Casey is exhausted! Oh boy!!!

I am taking the boys to their other grandparents for tonight and tomorrow. Susie keeps another Grand during the week and we did not want her to have three at one time!!!

I sure hope Cayla and Ryan enjoyed their vacation!!! I know why you can’t get anything accomplished…..my memory was jarred and the flashbacks came!!! LOL! Mine were 19 months apart, thanks for reminding me!!!

I love my family and appreciate their love for each other!!!

Now I need a vaca!!!

Kylie’s Birthday and the SEC Championship!

Happy Birthday to Kylie!!! Since she received some money for her birthday and has always wanted to go to Build a Bear…her Mom decided this was the time!!! She was so excited!!!

We also needed a little orange to wear and we made a quick stop for that!!!
Then off to the game! Buffy left this morning to get back home for work and school! We will miss them today!

Half time entertainment! Awesome!

Game Entertainment!

Scary! She did try and get up, but just could not. She had a concussion. They finally let her Mom go out to her, thank goodness! She did travel home with the team on Sunday.

Time to re-group!

Tennessee Won!

Celebrate!

Kylie really enjoyed this and thanked me several times! The funniest thing was when she yelled down to me….MamaJ, we need to get some caffeine down  here, we all about to fall asleep!

Like she is not active enough!!! The people behind us, just about rolled out of their seats laughing!!!

SEC Saturday Games

Arrived at the Arena, we have good seats and we have food!!! We’re good!!!

Cotton Candy? Yes! Soft drinks? Yes! Ice cream? Yes! Funnel Cake? Yes!

Did we come to eat or watch a ball game? Katie was taking in everything----she could not figure out the cheerleader situation!

Game One-----LSU vs Kentucky

Game Two-Tennessee vs South Carolina

 

An Awesome Coach!

We never know when our lives will change in the blink of an eye.  

Half-Time Performance----USA Jump Rope All Star Team! The girls enjoyed this!

 

Lady Vols Win!

The S. Carolina Gamecock said”I Got my eye on you”…too funny!

Heading out for the SEC Tournament-Night 1

After Kylie’s party 2 cars full of family headed out to Nashville Tennessee. We are planning on trying to drive all night, but due to bad weather will probably have to cut the trip in half!

We stopped in Tifton and got Zaxby’s. Then stopped in Perry for potty break and allergy med for Kylie…lol we may not make it to Macon!!!

Some family members (not in our cars---lol) are having fits because of the weather and are scared we may get tired and not have enough smarts to stop! I guess that is a good way to explain it!

Well, I tell ya----I may not be the brightest bulb on the tree---but I am not completely in the dark! LOL! We were in touch with family members on the phone and with cell phone tech. were able to see the radar!

When we got to the south side of Atlanta, both of my ears popped and I knew there was a difference in the barometric pressure. So,  more chats on the phone with Todd our weather guide from the North! Casey pulled up the radar and we all decided we could make it to the North side of Atlanta. And guess what, we did! No rain or anything until we stopped and then it rained! I watched the weather until about one then off to sleep.

Day 2

Saturday, we hit the road about nine. As we are approaching Chattanooga TN, I saw a sign that said I-24 was closed-North and South bound lanes. I was like, did I read that right? Then a sign told a radio station to tune in to and listen….yep, I saw it correctly. We hit detour on the GPS and took that exit. We talked to some locals and power lines were down across both lanes because of the wind last night. Hmmm! We decided to get back on and go down a couple of exits and  then detour. Good choice!

We meandered our way with everyone else through downtown and came  out on the other side and got around much of the traffic.

We stopped once more to eat, etc. On to Paul and Lynn’s house! We rested about an hour, then on to the gym!

Happy 6th Birthday, Kylie!

It is hard to believe that our Kylie is six years old. Oh how the years have flown!

We celebrated her birthday on Friday, March 2nd at Jumping Jacks! A great place to have a party! Everyone had lots of fun.

One happy six year old! She wanted a Tangled Party. So, her Mom & Dad  did just that!

Family and Friends

Fun!!!

Time for cake!

Present Time!

Rockin the new hair cut!

Kylie is spending the night with MaJ and Papa. I picked her up from school and she wanted to go to McDonalds! Then we came home and played school!

We went out to eat and she looked so cute that I just had to snap a few pictures!

Kylie’s Haircut

Part I

Our Kylie is so very tender headed. She hates her hair washed and brushed. Her hair is curly underneath and tangles so we know that it pulls! But it is difficult every morning for her Mom to deal with.

Casey will tell her now and again, as I am sure I did, “ We are just going to have to get your hair cut if you don’t let me brush it and stop acting up!” Now, she has had her hair cut before so it is not like she has never had it cut!

Her Mom took her and she picked out a cut that she liked. Kari cut it and then…the tears came! She is kin to her Mom in that once the tears start, they just keep pouring! Well, it the end….Casey cut her hair to so that Kylie would feel better about hers….the love of a Mother is just more than words could ever say! Casey your the best!!! Casey needed a trim also!

Isabella also got a little trim….she will not leave hair bows in her hair!

Casey and Kylie called me to tell me about the hair cut!

Then Kylie wanted to talk to MaJ!

She started out like this!

Kylie-------MamaJ? Do you know when my Mama said she was going to cut my hair off like a boys? (I new she had picked her own cut!)

Me-------Yes Kylie, did she do that?

Kylie-----yes mam!

Me----and didn’t she cut hers too?

Kylie---yes mam! But I'm, I’m  sacred about going to school tomorrow.

Me----Why honey?

Kylie---Well, well you know Loli? She,she got hers cut  and it was short and this,this boy in our class, he, he made fun of her. I’m scared he is going to make fun of mine too!

Me----Aww he made fun of her because he really liked it! If he say’s anything to you about it, just flip your hair and say----“you know you love it!’  Then, just keep on walking!

Bless her heart, she was so worried!

Part II

I talked to Casey today and asked how Kylie’s day at school went!

She said, Just fine.

Kylie said--- that this little boy asked her to be his girlfriend and was trying to kiss her!!! LOL! She said---- the girls were trying to help her run from him, but that he could run really fast!!!

Priceless!!!

Thank-you God for helping Kylie have a good day at school today!!!

A Fabulous Day

Today was a fabulous, fun day. Started out helping Cayla get the boys to Sunday School.  After church, Mom came and met us at “ The Smokin Pig”! We enjoyed lots of laughter as Cole kept Nana going!

After lunch, we headed out to the farm. Mom came and joined us for the afternoon. She got some loving from the great grand’s and we enjoyed having her so much! It was one, wild time…lol!

We got a few pictures with the boys, next time---must get some with the girls!

 

When Kylie got back from her Dad’s, she was so happy Great-Nana was there. The first thing she asked? Is Macie, Ally and Katie here? She loves and misses her cousins!

This was one fun day! 

Bentley’s First visit to Sunday School and Church

He got lots of loving from everyone!!! And he looks so thrilled!!!
