We had Shaye’s birthday party on Saturday in Kermit. It was hot out (114° F) but I think everyone had a good time. As soon as the kids got there, they ran straight for the slip ‘n slide while the adults tried to stay cool in the shade. We opened presents, had cake and ice cream and busted alot of water balloons. I don’t think I can think of a better time than that! 
Shaye 33 days old
Six years ago today at 9:46am, I gave birth to my little angel baby, Shaye.
Everyday I look at that child and sometimes still can’t believe she’s here with me. She’s my little angel, my miracle. There are alot of days that I think I’m going to strangle her, but thats just because she is a LOT like me. Even though I try to deny it, she’s pretty much the spitting image of me. I think she has a little bit more flare for the dramatics, but it’s pretty close.
Shaye 5/28/10
On Friday she graduated from Kindergarten. Yesterday she started summer school to help her with the transition to 1st grade and today she turns 6. That’s a lot to take in that short amount of time. lol
We aren’t going to do anything really big today since not everyone is with us today, so instead we are having a party on Saturday with slip n slides and water balloons and tons of fun 
I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I’m pretty sure we will.
On Friday, our little girl graduated from kindergarten. I told myself that morning to keep it together and not to cry. I was very proud of myself because the only tears I shed were earlier this morning when Shaye and I were looking at old baby pictures of her.
She looked so big (yet small at the same time) sitting up there on stage. They sang us songs of everything they had learned. Counting by 10s, counting to 30, colors, months, & alphabet.
I can’t believe how fast time flies. Just yesterday she was starting Kindergarten. Tomorrow, she is starting summer school and before I know it, she’s going to be in junior high.
I’ve really been meaning to make an update on my pregnancy and I keep forgetting. (oops)
On June 15th we had another sono done. The “guesstimation” is that he was weighing in about 3lbs 11 oz and about 17 inches which is right around where he should be. Sandra (the sono tech) also told us that Gage has a head full of hair. And showed us where you could see it. I never would have guessed that that was hair, but ok 
If you want more information on that doctor visit, you can go to the baby blog post here.
32 week sono:
We went again yesterday for my ‘final labs’ appointment. Testing for Group B Strep and all those other things they test for We got our preregistration information and also he told us to choose between July 26th and 27th for the surgery date. That’s an iffy choice. Yes, Jeremy & Grammer get their leo, which is what they wanted. BUT, July 27th just happens to be Jeremy’s birthday. I’m ok with either date. And everyone I ask says go w/ the 27th. It’s easier to remember since we already have Jerm’s bday then, yada yada yada… But I really want to get his opinion. I know he won’t mind but still, think it’s safer to ask.
I’m really getting scared now. Well not technically scared. I would say freaked out? We now know the date that Gage will be here so I know I HAVE to be ready for this baby in a little less than 3 weeks. AAAH! There is so much to get ready and I’m freaking out that it won’t get done. We just now got to order a carseat, so that was a huge weight off my shoulders. We have a place for the baby to sleep so thats good. It’s just now getting his room ready, clothes washed and make sure we have all the little things. We’ve really put off getting his room ready because of our air conditioning not working for the past month. But it’s down to the wire and it really needs to get done.
That’s something else I’m freaking out about. Air conditioning. I’ve been waiting for people to call me back for the last 3 weeks and we’ve still gotten no word. All we really need is more freon (sp?) but it’s like pulling teeth to get someone to answer. I’m calling back today and trying the ‘feel sorry for me, I’m 8 mos pregnant and I really need it’ spiel. Not sure if it’s going to work but with the forecast saying the next couple of days its going to be like 107°, I’m ready to try anything.
My next appointment is on the 21st so I’ll try and update about the baby around then. That is if I remember hehe.
We had a pretty lazy 4th of July this year. I told Mac that all I really felt like doing was to sit on my butt and do nothing. So that’s pretty much what I did
That night we went over to Mom’s house to eat, pop some fire crackers and watch the fireworks at the park. It was a pretty good night. We got to see Jeremy for the first time in awhile. He seems like he is doing really good. I haven’t really posted anything about it but he’s about to go through a divorce. It’s a touchy subject so I’m not really going to go into it but he seems like he’s back to his old self so maybe it’s all for the best.
The fireworks ‘show’ that the county put on was ok. (I guess) It seems like every year they spend the same amount on them or maybe even more, but they get worse and worse. Mom had a next door neighbor that was shooting some off that looked better than the ones in the show. And they didn’t spend near as much as the county would have. I have some videos of us shooting off firecrackers and some from the actual show but haven’t gotten to upload them yet. When I do I’ll try and post them somewhere.
