What's Happening?!?!

I am constantly thinking about things I need to write..... but darn it if I can't remember half of them when I sit down! Here are a few I can remember ;-)




  • Jax has an abscess with acute cellulitis... all this from an ant bite on the finger! They cut it open and packed it with meds & gauze. They are keeping the wound open to drain. No school the rest of the week! Yuck!!! The tough guy didn't even cry while they did it!




  • We have found an awesome website to study spelling words! http://www.spellingcity.com/ It was recommended for my dyslexic child but all are enjoying. Jax even got me to make up a fake list last weekend so he could "play" on it.... the list was about baseball!

  • Oh, another cool site Math Models.... Great for Girls learning math facts!!!!

  • My boys are so happy they are making BIG friends with the boy next door! Thankfully, his mom is very nice & doesn't seem to mind what I call STALKING THE NEIGHBOR! If they are outside the kids climb the fence and yell the boys name. No privacy for them ;-)

  • I got some really good deals on some art for the house. YEA... I am in love with the work of the artist Rodney White (check him out) I probably went over board with his work but that's what I do! His work is so positive... it has a vintage look to it one of my favorites has the saying "We tend to seek happiness when actually happiness is a choice" LOVE IT! For over the fireplace I got All In Good Time by Ford Smith. It is so bright and the colors change as the daylight changes. I like just sitting and looking at it....daydreaming! Oh how I LOVE art. I need a museum fix soon ;-)

  • I am really enjoying living close to my family. I see my sister often and really enjoy her company. My brother just celebrated his 40th birthday and my sister-in-law gave him a wonderful party! It was fun FUN! Happy Birthday Big Brother!!!! I have also been able to see my Cousin Kim and her son (super cutie). It is really nice to have family :-)

  • The girls had their 1st new friend sleep over. To my relief she is a very sweet polite girl. They had a blast and giggled late into the night.

  • WRESTLING..... yep you read it right! The boys at 5 and 6 they are learning to wrestle and LOVE it. Dax has enjoyed taking them 2 days a week & learning about it himself. We got them the cutest wrestling shoes... so little! It really is a thinking man's sport....every move has to be calculated. Who knows if it will stick but we like exposing them to different options!

  • The girls are taking Golf and loving it. We just had to buy them a larger set of clubs....we got them pink.....ohhhhh! De is excelling and Em is making friends ;-)

You left out the best part...we had DirecTV in the room where he was being treated. We watched Drake & Josh, Sponge Bob, and the end of the Astros game.
