Summer

Of Course I am way behind on my blogging. Should have known I would not keep up with it!! Summer has been busy. We ran our fireworks stand again this year. It was not easy being 7 months pregnant!!! It was hot but thank goodness I had a ton of teenagers to help me!! Even my nephew Connor came down to help!

After the fireworks stand we went to the lake and spent a week with my dad and my sister Julie's family. It was so nice. As you can see from the pictures I am going to pop and I still have 5 weeks to go!! We are getting very excited and everyone is dying to know what the little booger is!!! Joey starts football next week so his summer is basically over. Guess I better get ready to be the football widow with a new baby....smart planning!!! Well, that is all the free time I have, gotta run...love to all.

The Cabin!!!

The cabin is finally done..... well almost!!! We finally got to go on Memorial Day weekend. It was a bittersweet weekend. Dad promised mom it would be done and we could meet there as a family and we did. On Sunday it was mom and dad's 40th wedding anniversary. In honor of mom we hung the big star on the outside of the cabin. She was so proud of her Texas star!! The cabin is in Oklahoma and she wanted everyone to know that our cabin is Texan!!! The cabin is big enough that all of us had a place to sleep, even the kids. I didn't get to include all the pictures, but here are some so you get the idea.

Random Thoughts!!

I had a prenatal appointment this week and things went good. The baby is growing and doing fine. The biggest concern in still the blood clot. We will be having to make a decision on June 15th about treatment for the last trimester. Please remember me and my doctor as we decide the best care for me and the baby. I am 25 weeks, it is going fast.

Mother's Day is this weekend. It will probably be the biggest challenge that me and the sisters have had to face since Mom passed away. Joey and I are meeting dad in Amarillo to pick out stuff for the cabin on Sunday so that we don't have to "face reality." Please continue to keep us all in your prayers. It is not getting in easier!!

I am including some pretty random pictures today. It is finallly getting warm here so Ky is spending all his time with his best friend look. I took a picture of him talking to look the other day and I thought it was so cute. I thought I would share a picture of my some of my neices and nephews. The are such a joy. I am also posting a pic of my track star Demi. She won the open quarter by a long shot. Then I thought that the boys (Koby & Ashton) needed some recognition so they are one here too.

Hope all is doing well!! I will keep updating as I can!

My first blog

I can't believe that I would actually do a blog, but I let my student talk me into it. She said that the only way they can keep up with me is if I start this blog so here we go!!!

For those of you that don't know, Joey and I are expecting again. The timing couldn't be any better. I am due on August 23rd. I believe that is the day of Joey's first scrimmage!! We will now be "Eight is Enough." We are thrilled. We had our first sonogram and chose not to find out what it was. Well, I chose and Joey didn't have a choice but to go along with me. The pregnancy has been kind of rough, but we are doing well.

Here is a quick update on all the kids. Kyler is 2 now, I can't believe it, he is getting so big!! Curry, is playing football in college and is loving it. Ashton and Koby are just going right along here at good 'ol Dalhart High School. There have been no tragedies lately with those two so it is good. Dallam, Demi, and Breena are also doing well. The girls are getting so big and Joey can harldy stand it. Kyler is in love with his sisters and the feeling is mutual.

I will try and keep this up as often as I can! Take care. Love to all.
