Neighborhood BBQ

We had a barbeque with our cul-de-sac. It was so much fun. There are 5 little boys, including my 3, and they have a blast. We had a swimming pool and sprinklers out and the boys played for hours. There was so much food and it was delicious. We love our neighbors. It is a great little place to live.

Chicken Soup Please!

Madeleine got sick for the first time today. She had a high fever and was very cranky. She is always a happy baby and I knew something was wrong. I took her to the after hours clinic and her throat was very red. It might be strep throat. I hope not. Anyway I have one sick little girl on my hands. It is so pitiful to see her try to smile and know she doesn't feel like it. Hopefully she will feel better soon.

Memaw and Papaw

The kids and I visited my grandparents. They had not seen Madeleine and I wanted them to see her while she was still a baby. Of course, they loved her and ate her up. Caleb loves to go see them. He gets spoiled rotten. I am very close to my grandparents and love to see them show my kids love the way they showed me love. It is very special.

Back to normal....maybe?

Okay,
this month has been very hectic and busy. The reason I haven't posted at all. Was out of town for a while, busy with all the kids, sick kids, scheduling a surgery for me, and 2 days ago my husband was in the hospital. He was having chest pains and difficulty breathing. Thankfully his heart is alright , but we don't know why it happened. Hope things will settle down for a while. I will have plenty of time to blog while I am recuperating from surgery. 4 weeks of not doing anything including picking up my baby. My mother-in-law will be coming to help out. Will write more later.

My buddies!

Today we met a good friend of mine, Jamie, and let the boys play together. Tres, Bryant and Caleb love getting together and playing. They love when we go to Chick-fil-A and play in the playarea. They pretend they are Star Wars characters and blast off into the galaxy. This little girl kept kicking Caleb and instead of hitting back he came and told me. I was very proud. We saw her trying to find Caleb and Tres, who were hiding from her, and she kicked them right in front of us. Jamie went and told her in the nicest mommy voice not to kick anymore. That didn't stop her and I finally went around and found who she was with. She was there with someone other tham her parents. The lady was very sorry and very embarrassed. Thankfully they left right after that. We learned something that day. Don't go to a fast food restaraunt near an interstate that is the only route to the beach unless you want a chaotic lunch. Lesson learned!

Batter Up!

DADDY AND HIS BOYS

We took the boys to a Birmingham Barons game Friday night and had a blast. We had Pressbox seats and the best seats in the stadium. The boys loved it. It was a long game and we lost but we didn't care. We stayed for the fireworks show at the end and it was amazing. The boys loved every bit of it. Madeleine had her first baseball game and first fireworks that night. The way she just stared at the fireworks made me look at them like I was seeing them for the first time. It was a great night for us as a family.
