Kindergarten Graduation

31 May

IMAG0049

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.

 
 

Pregnancy Update

08 Jul

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 :D 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 :D 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… :D 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.

 
 

4th of July 2009

08 Jul

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 :D

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.

Shaye’s 5th Birthday

08 Jul

Yes, yes we are still here. I just haven’t felt like writing, I guess.

All the way back on June 2nd, Shaye baby turned 5 years old. It cracks me up now becuase everytime she tries to do something and I try and help her, she swats me away and states “I’m 5 now, I can do it.”  That seems to be her answer for everything, “Mom, I’m 5. I’m a big girl.” Overall I think she had a pretty good birthday. On the 2nd, we went over to Mom and Jeff’s house and had a ‘birthday supper’. She got to choose everything we ate and got to open a few presents.

She finally got her ‘cupcake maker’ that she’s been begging for since Christmas. Plus a couple new dresses because, of course, our little princess could never have enough dresses :D

On June 17, we were able to have her official birthday party with her friends. I got really mad that day too because even though that I gave the daycare the invites 2 weeks before the party, they decided not to hand them out until THE day of. I know the rule of thumb is to invite the same number of kids that your kid is turning but we had an entire swimming pool just to ourselves, and I wanted Shaye to have one last party with all her daycare friends before she started Kindergarten. Since the invites weren’t handed out, I think we had a total of 6 kids there including Shaye. I guess it all ended up for the best, but I really wish she could of had more friends there.  OH well. Here are a few pics from that party, if you want to see more, click here.

Growth

01 Jun

Good News people!

DANI ISN’T MOVING!

I don’t know what changed her mind, but Mandi decided that she didn’t want to uproot her and Dani to Louisiana. I think Dani was really looking forward to the move, just because it was a change, but I know she’s really happy that she’s staying in Texas. She gets to stay on the Nimitz cheerleading squad, but has decided against staying in gymnastics. As of last Thursday, she is officially a 9th grade. Sometimes I can’t believe how fast these girls grow. I may not have been around her birth but I’ve seen Dani change from a little girl to a mature young woman. I’m so proud of her and love that i get to call her my daughter.

It’s hard to believe, but our Shaye baby will be a whole 5 years old tomorrow.  Like I said above, I can’t believe how much they change in such a short time. It just makes me want to hold on to them and let them stay young for a little while longer.

Shaye had an end-of-year Luau party at day care last Thursday. It was tons of fun getting to see her interact with her little friends. I’m sure she’ll miss these guys when she goes to Wink school next year, but I’m glad she had the chance to meet them. Without these little boogers, she wouldn’t be the same person she is today.
