Field Day

Hunter and Grace both had their field day at school last Friday. Ang and her kids were up visiting for the weekend, so they we able to go and watch too. It was fun....hot, but fun.

Happy 6th Birthday, Grace!

Grace celebrated her 6th birthday at "Cookies & Tea for Me". She had a "Pink Poodle Party" with some of her friends/cousins. It's hard to believe my baby is now 6 years old! Time flies!

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday today. It started with church. We got to watch Nate (Amber's boyfriend) get baptized today...how cool is that! The kids had 3 egg hunts today...one at Sunday School, one at home, and one at the Parizek house (a family we have known for 10 years--they have us and some other families over to their house for Easter every year, and go over and above with the eggs...the kids love it!!!) THANKS PARIZEKS!! We love you guys. Anyway, here are some pictures taken today.

Grace's class Easter egg hunt 3-20-08

Here are some pictures I took of Grace at her class Easter egg hunt/party. The kids had a great/fun time.

Daddy/daughter date

Every once in awhile, Marty takes Grace out on a date with him. We think this is a great way to show her how a guy is to treat her, and what she should look for when it is time for her to date (scary!!). It also gives them some great one on one quality time together...outside the home. I thought I'd share some pictures with you of their date day. Enjoy! :)

Today with Hunter

So I am at work...Wednesdays I work 8--8, and I get a call around 11:00 from Hunter's teacher. She tells me that he has been sleeping at his desk for 45 minutes and he isn't wanting to wake up. I tell her, I will be right there. I leave work...drive to the school...and find him awake, sitting on a bean bag chair eating some of his lunch. He still looks lethargic though, and when I asked him how he was feeling, he responded "Um...I don't know...I don't know what is wrong". Poor guy. We have recently changed his meds, and this new medicine is just making him feel so weird and "out of it". So I take him back to my work to check his BP (just to make sure it's not too low). It was fine. After some more to eat and some rest/snuggle time with mom, he was back to his normal self...playing his wii. It's just so frustrating though for us....I mean we are grateful we finally have a diagnosis for him (for those of you who don't know...Hunter has bipolar and ADHD), but now we just have to figure out what medication/dose will be best for him (and it will continue to change until he is 18 probably...due to growing/hormones). Please pray for us...for patience, strength, endurance. And pray for Hunter...it's gotta be so frustrating for him to not know how to express how he is feeling and not know why he can't control some things that he does.

Oh the joy of exercise

I am tired and exhausted! I keep waiting for this fatigue feeling to pass, but it doesn't. I mean, how long does it take for your body to get use to working out??? My neighbor and her friends have this workout they do every day (M--F) at her house from 4:30-5:30. She asked me to join the group about 2 1/2 weeks ago...so I did...thinking "OK...this will be good for me...how hard can it be?". WOW! It is quite the workout. Now I'll admit, I'm not the best in shape person right now ...no laughing please...(although my goal is to be the buffest one in town some day...again, no laughing please), but this is hard work! However, it does help me in regards to my stress level, and I am getting out of the house every afternoon and having conversations with ADULTS too...which is always nice (as anyone with young children can probably relate). OK OK...enough moaning and complaining for one day. :)
