Jess' Birthday & Easter


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESS!!

We celebrated Jessica's birthday on Saturday.....It was All Jess, All day! She decided that she wanted to go to the movies to see "Monsters VS Aliens" and then out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. She started the day by ordering her breakfast.....she wanted a ham and cheese omlet :) Then she opened her presents. She got a basketball goal, new basketball, skateboard and a Fusion scooter as well as some "girlie" stuff!
ETHAN ENJOYING HIS BIRTHDAY
RYAN ENJOYING ETHAN'S BIRTHDAY
She shares her birthday with her cousin, Ethan, so we went to Chuckie Cheese's in the morning to have his party. After we got back from the party, while Glenn was setting up the basketball goal, Alyssa was playing with Maggie and for some reason, the dog bit her on her bottom lip. Very uncommon for her and I was expecting it to be the new dog, not Maggie! So when Alyssa told me it was Maggie that bit her, I was very suprised! Well, this threw a wrench into the "All Jess, All Day" scenario that Jessica had pictured. We spent the next hour and a half calling around to see if it was serious enough to be taken to the emergency room. We called the Insurance Company to see if there were any Urgent Care facilities that were covered. Then I called the pediatricians office, got the answering service and had to wait for a call back. A nurse from Texas Children's hospital called and talked to Glenn and said it didn't sound to her like it would need to be sutured but that she would have a doctor give us a call. A doctor called us back within a few minutes and also said that it didn't sound like it would need to be sutured but if it looked like it was getting infected, that I was to bring her to her pediatrician's office on Monday. He said that lips and gums were very "forgiving" when they were injured, and he was right! By the following day, the gap had filled and was well on it's way to healing and with no sign of any infection.....we were VERY lucky!
So after that ordeal, we were a litte behind schedule for Jess' birthday plans. We ended up going to the 7:30 pm movie and then to dinner after that. We got home around 10:30 and then it was off to bed to get ready for Easter morning.
The girls got up and checked out their Easter Baskets, then we got ready and went to 9:30 mass at St. Max's. We were home by 11:00 and then got together with my family for Easter dinner. After the rainy morning, the afternoon turned out just beautiful. The girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan and I think everyone had a wonderful day.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am so far behind on writing on my blog and summer vacation is over and school has started!!!!!!! The girls and I went on vacation last week to Galveston Island and stayed at the San Louis hotel, which Jessica only just recently stopped calling it the St. Luis. Donna and Brianna met us there and stayed at the same hotel. The first day, we stopped off at the beach and built sand castles. The second day we went to Moody Gardens Palm Beach and the rest of the time we spent at the hotel pool which was just beautiful! Check out our you tube site at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BMsLX68qNM for the "Waterfall Video". School started on Wednesday this week for half days. Papa picked the kids up from school since Nana is still in Alaska......we really miss her!! She has been gone for 2 weeks and should be back by Tuesday morning. We went to "Meet the Teachers" this week and got to see which teachers Jessica was going to have

As of Sunday, I am officially the mother of a teenager. Wow! I can only hope that the next 5 years go as smoothly as the first 13 did. I can also hope that I don't get paid back for Glenn's wild teenage years. From what I understand, they were doozies!! We celebrated Jessica's big 13th birthday with a family party on Sunday. We had hoped that we would have had enough warm weather to warm the pool up for swimming, but it's been on the cool side during the nights and so the pool was no where near being warm enough to swim in. Well, except for crazy Alyssa who cannon-ba lled into the pool. Jessica got Band Hero for her birthday Alyssa loves to play guitar but even more than that, she loves to sing. I think this is her "Rock Band" face. One of the other things Jessica got for her birthday was a pitching net. Last weekend, we spent Easter at my sister's house and my girls hid Easter eggs for Ethan and Ryan. .......And last but not least......Meet the newest

We've Been Robbed!!

The girls and I got home today around 5:00 pm, pulled the car into the garage and then unloaded the groceries that I had picked up earlier. I left the garage door opened as I have every day since I can remember. Around 6:30, we heard tires screeching outside and both girls ran down the stairs to see what it was that was making that horrible sound. We went outside and saw the tire tracks on the street but no cars that we could see. About 2 minutes later, I got a call from Glenn on his cell phone and he said that he was chasing down a truck that had been in front of our house loading up the stuff from the garage! He lost them going into an apartment complex near the house. He said they looked pretty cruddy and they were in an old beat up white truck but he couldn't get close enough to get the license plate number. They stole Glenn's electric saw, his new weed eater and his leaf blower that wasn't working very well (too bad!). I am just so glad that he pulled up when
