Pageant Time!

Well today is THE day! Hannah's hair is in curlers, the dress is done, and everything is in the bag and ready to go. She has done so great at practice this week. I did make the mistake of telling her to just relax on Tuesday night and she started crying on me! LOL! She is having a lot of fun which I am so glad about. Some of those kids are highly stressed and so are their moms. My only stress is that I hope I did a good enough job on her dress and that it doesn't look like I made it. Tad's mom though I bought it at a bridal shop and Tad thinks it's beautiful. Hannah adores it so that's all that matters really. I think they're giving all the girls a little tiara of some sort and they all get a little goodie bag just for participating. So we will see how it goes...if Hannah will just relax and not be so nervous we''ll be doing great! :)

For Becky

Ok I was told that I need to update my blog. Even though I have updated more in July alone than I have since I started the stinkin' thing I will update, just to MAKE BECKY HAPPY!!!

Well let's see....I've been working on Hannah's pageant dress. It's getting to the point where you can feel the finished product in your hands. The "why can't I be done already" point. She's loving it so far and I'll post a picture of her in it as soon as I get it all done.

Kayleigh has one more week of games....it's tournaments this coming week and then she has All Stars next weekend. Then it's all over and no more PeeWee for her. It'll be kinda sad. She moves up to Minors and Hannah moves up to PeeWee. We're still going to coach TBall though because we don't want to miss coaching Brysen when he gets old enough in 3 years. Then we will have coached all three kids in TBall and offically coached for 7 years when it's all said and done. Who knows....maybe I'll talk Tad into coaching even after Brysen is done. I just love those little ones!

I got to Job Shadow yesterday. My Diagnostics instructor let me shadow her and I had an amazing time! She does Mammography which is what I'm considering for my second Major. It was so interesting and the images you can get are amazing! Oh and just a reminder!!! At 35 get a Mammogram so when you start getting them regularly at age 40 they have a base image to go from so they know what your "normal" breast tissue looks like! This is so, so, so important!!! We had a woman that should have had 11 done by now and hadn't. We noticed a small spot, but aren't sure if it's anything since we don't know what her normal breast tissue looks like! And no one will know until they call her back in to have another one done with more views! The base Mammogram is more important than most people know! Ok....I'll stop my preaching now. LOL!!

So there Becky....an updated post....happy now????? :o)

Just one...that's all I'm asking for...

just ONE decent shot of all three of the kids. I just need one...not 10, not 5, JUST ONE! Do you think I could get just one?? Of course not...whoever thinks it's easy to get 3 kids organized for a picture is clearly INSANE!

"OK, Hannah...you need to move over towards Kayleigh a little...."

"Great Hannah! Now if we can just get Brysen to actually look at the camera, that would be wonderful!"

"Kayleigh! Seriously?? Yawning?? You're KILLING me child!!!"

"Oh just forget it! I'll just deal with this one......I need a drink!!!"

I've been tagged!

I was checking out all my fav blogs and noticed that Becky (Acceber) tagged me on her blog! Not me by name, but she tagged everyone by city and mine was on there. So now I have to post 7 random things about me and then tag 7 other people. Amy...get ready because I'm tagging you! lol

7 Random things about me:

1. I love Oreos and milk, but after I'm done dipping my Oreos I refuse to drink the milk.
2. My hair has been 3 different colors, but numerous shades of them.
3. I have lived in Michigan my entire life, but have always wanted to live in Pennsylvania or Virginia
4. I cannot drink a warm drink of any kind (it has to be freezing!)
5. I am becoming a scrapping supplies collector and not so much a scrapbooker :(
6. I refuse to pay a lot for my clothes (or the kids for that matter)
7. I HATE thunder storms...I have always been terrified of loud noises

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and enjoys some beautiful fireworks!

From Queen Don't Know When to Stop...

On Thursday Tad and I will start playing CoEd softball! :) The good news is...it's only 6 weeks long and only one game a week. I'm actually getting pretty excited about it. We both love softball and Tad played for about 5 years or so, but I've never played anything other than backyard ball. I have to miss practice this week because it's tomorrow night and I have class, but they're going to try and make it a night everyone can be there. On top of us playing, Hannah had her first game of the season Saturday and Kayleigh's is on Tuesday. Busy Busy Busy!

It has been one wonderful day!

First I spent all morning and afternoon shopping for flowers, yard deco, and clothes for Hannah and Bry. Then I get home and the Surgeon's office called and said that there was NO sign of cancer! What an amazing day!!
Thursday, Tad and I hit a deal on mulch...$5 bags for $2, so we bought 35 bags and did some landscaping so now not only is the mulch all pretty, but I have flowers down there now too. I bought my shepards hook hangers for $5 and $6 at JoAnns (they were all 1/2 off!). I'll take pictures of them tomorrow and post them. It was too dark out by the time we got done tonight. The house is really starting to come together! Soon I'll be able to post a couple before & after pics!

My Supermen

I wasn't feeling well at all Sunday and Monday, but I managed to get these pics of Tad and Bry out playing in the yard. They were so cute running around and playing Superman (one of Bry's favorite things). All you could hear was Tad making whooshing sounds and Bry giggling just as hard as he could!

You know you need to just go to bed when...

you are stalking ScrapJazz, and refreshing every 2 seconds, for any and all posts and there isn't a new one for over an hour!

How do you convince yourself that everything is going to be ok when you don't know that it will be? Brysen goes in for surgery on Wednesday and I've never been so scared in my life! He's 2 for God's sake! He shouldn't have to have surgery already! I know babies have surgery at younger ages, but those aren't MY babies...Brysen is MY baby! The baby that I suffered 9 months for, the one that we so patiently waited for, the one that brightens my day like I never thought was possible. He has to be ok....he just has to be...if I wish it enough and pray for it enough it has to happen...right?

I got a new camera!!! Ok Ok...I've had it for a couple of weeks, but I'm still trying to figure it all out so it's still new...right? :) The weather finally cleared up and got warm enough to take the kids outside and get some pics. I think they're sick of my camera already! Here are a few. Hannah was having a great time being my model so she got the most pictures done. Brysen was just a ball of energy and I could barely get one of him that wasn't blurry. Then there's Kayleigh...she always says she wants her picture taken, but once we get outside she's gone and practicing her swing. Aggggg....I'm NOT ready for ball season!!!
