Drum Roll Please.....Shawn is 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it is official.....Shawn is 7 yrs old! You know us, we like long birthdays so to continue the tradition I will explain Shawn's birthday events :)

Friday he took Yogo's to school to his classmates for snack time to share for his birthday! Saturday, he got to open his presents (roller blades, Texas Rangers jacket & Kidz Bop 10 cd) from us before heading to his football game. Saturday night, just the immediate family, went to the Rangers game and we took the kids to the Gold Club for dinner (they thought they were so big). Between the 5th & 6th innings, Shawn was on the jumbo-tron for the "birthday parade" The people who were in the parade got the best gift bags, we were totally suprised! He even got a Mark Texiera baseball glove in his bag!!!! Then after the game, we stayed for the AWESOME fireworks show! Today he has been roller blading up a storm practicing for tomorrow night! The party!!! Right now, we have about 77 kids coming to his birthday party :0 He is having a skating party and we bought the kids glow necklaces and braclets as their party favors. We might all be dizzy when it is over with all the spinning and glowing :)

Today, I have baked 102 cupcakes!!!!!!!!!!!! It is officially done!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SPECIAL BOY!!!

Until next time......

And the Baby is a Baby No More :)

Well, Reid started his last year of preschool and he is loving it!!! He actually has a "take home folder" and everything! I never knew that having one in 1st grade and one in preschool required so much paper signing and homework from me!!!!! Anyway, he is loving school and has made new friends since this is a whole new place for him! Who are is friends? Mattie and Emily! John says, "that's my boy"! It is amazing to me to stop and think he will be 5 in December when it seems like such a short time ago we were flying to the hospital in the back of an ambulance and were told that he might never leave the hospital! Actually it was Jan. 02' just 5 weeks after he was born prematurely and had finally left NICU only to return to PICU! How time flies :) I promise I am going to figure out how to post a picture!

Shawn is loving football this week! Daddy is back from his trip and football practice was a whole new ball game last night! We got KILLED by our old team last Saturday and Shawn came home wanting his old jersey!!! Our daddy got back and the whistle came out and practice last night and they look like a different team! We have a HUGE pep rally tomorrow night which he is very excited about.

My baseball fundraiser is DONE!!!!! Now that was some work! My mom came down while John was gone and we had a GREAT time! You can never go wrong with Sam Moon! It was so nice to be able to visit! Of course she is never here long enough!

Well, the dryer is calling and I am pretty sure so is KFC tonight! Until next time....... Lisa

Thoughts!!!

Well, as I sit here answering emails from coaches about a fundraiser that is ending tomorrow, all these things have come to mind:

1. How many times do you have to repeat something for someone to really understand it :)

2. How many times can a 4 yr old spill his juice in just 15 minutes?

3. How many times will the dryer buzz before it "really" stops?

4. How can you walk by the pantry door several times a day and just now see the dried yogurt stuck to the handle?

5. How many times can I think about my kids today and never get tired of doing it!

Just a few random thoughts that happened to me over the course of about 30 minutes while trying to answer emails! Wondered if any of you had the same?

Until next time......

Is Anyone Ready for Some Football?????

Well, it has been awhile since I posted. Things are just crazy!! Shawn has Opening Ceremonies for his football season tomorrow morning. It is a big deal here with the Dallas Cowboys and the Cowboy Cheerleaders. All the football teams and cheerleading teams will be there to kick off this season. It is a lot of yelling and screaming to honest :)

Shawn is loving school! He has a test every Friday :0 We are not in kindergarten anymore! Reid went to open house at his preschool Tuesday and he starts his last year of preschool on Tuesday.

John is leaving for his annual golf trip on Tuesday and my mom is coming down on Wednesday! Yeah! We have a Sam Moon trip planned for sure!!!
