February Fun

We've had a really busy February, which is why I haven't had time to blog lately. Well, that, and the fact that I was sick for the first half of February might have contributed to the lack of blog time. As of my last post, I was going to make an appointment at the doctors office, which I did on Monday and after a breathing treatment and a chest x-ray was told that it was very bad bronchitis. I got a cortizone shot in the butt, was put on prednisone, antibiotics, symbicort, nasonex, and a rescue inhaler. I started to feel better, but by the next weekend I was having very bad pains in the bones of my hips and legs. So bad, that I ended up in the ER during the early morning hours of Sunday. Unfortunately, I waited for several hours without being seen and I ended up just going home and waiting it out until Monday when I had my next scheduled doctors appointment. I was sent for another x-ray of my legs, but when that didn't show anything, I was told that if the pain persisted after 2 weeks, I would need to have an MRI. Luckily, the pain went away and I am now back to 100%.
Many things went on during Catholic Schools week at St. Ambrose. The kids had college tshirt day, and 60's dress day.
Alyssa got her hair cut this month.....this is the "before picture".
.....and this is the "after" picture.
Hanging out with the horse.....Lily of course!
I don't think this needs any explanation
......and neither does this.
Mud boots were the order of the day, especially when playing baseball in a muddy yard.
On Valentines day, we spent a quiet evening at home and made dinner and ate by candlelight.....all 4 of us! The kids gave me a nice bamboo plant and a mini potted rose bush. The following weekend we celebrated Lauren's and my birthday out at Little House, then the following weekend after that, we celebrated my birthday along with Roxanne's and Nana's birthday at Donna's house. It's been a really busy February but I think it's going to be a really busy March, too. As a matter of fact, I think it's going to be a really busy April and May as well.
Yesterday was Go Texan Day - My two cowgirls.

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
