Update on My Week!

I have managed to forget my camera every single day this week. I have been wanting to post pics from Alyssa's birthday party last Friday, but no such luck! The kids have been in Vacation Bible School all week, and will finish with their program tonight. Alyssa informed me she did not want to get on stage to sing and dance because she is stage fright! Camryn, on the other hand, can not wait.

I went to the eye doctor on Wednesday. My eye has been doing some crazy mess. The eye doctor told me it was a side effect from the Bell's Palsy, and I was blinking good and my vision had not changed. So, unless it got worse, there was nothing they could do at this time. My eye wants to get a little droopy and is driving me crazy. The only alternative is to do surgery on my eye lid to lift it, and he said it would have to get much worse before anyone would operate! Great! But..while I was there, I got contacts! I have not wore them in 10 years, and boy do I look different! 10 years ago, they found blood vessels in my eye, did laser surgery and told me I would never wear contacts again! Well, when I went 3 years ago, he said it was an option, but I decided not to. Well, Wednesday he said it was fine, and I'm wearing them. I wish someone would tell me that I'm not wearing glasses because I keep pushing them up! LOL CJ likes them, he said he felt like he had a new woman! LOL I don't know if that's good or not! LOL

We have a new driver in the family, as of this morning! Aaron turned 16 in April, but had to wait until today because of when he took driver's ed. CJ took the day off from work and carried him first thing. I told him, I didn't want to take this moment from him and Aaron's Mama, but one of them was going to take him TODAY or I was going to take him! Bless his heart, he has had to wait an extra 2 months, it was time to go! I remember going on my birthday! That was an important day! Aaron is heading to the beach with his cousin, Cody, in a little bit. He is not driving, of course! LOL CJ's Mama lives in Buxton, so they are going to spend the weekend with her.

Well, my blog went from birthday pics to VBS to contacts to drivers license! That's about how my brain is working these days, jumping from one thing to the next! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!

Alyssa's Birthday/Father's Day Weekend

We had a very busy weekend, as usual! Friday night, we had Alyssa's birthday party at Valley Pine Country Club. (I forgot my camera today, so I will have to post pictures tomorrow.) She had one of the best parties ever! The kids got along great and just had a really good time! They swam, they ate pizza, they swam, they ate cake, they swam, Alyssa opened presents and then they swam again! They were all at a good age where we good just sit back and watch them have a good time! One of her friends at the party came home and spent the night. She must have planned it because she had her pajamas! LOL My niece also spent the night, and Logan went to my Mama's to spend the night with my nephew.

Saturday morning, the kids headed to their Daddy's. Logan had his very first Karate test. (He will find out in class Tuesday if he passed.) I didn't go! I can't believe I didn't go. I wanted him to do his best and I thought he would do better with his Daddy. I was afraid if I went, I would mess him up. I was so upset all day because I missed it. I never miss things like that! Joey called as soon as he was finished, and he thought he did a good job. So, hopefully on Tuesday he will find out if he receives his yellow belt.

After the kids left Saturday, I headed to work for a little bit and then headed home to crash on the couch. LOL Later on that evening, we headed over to the in laws to go swimming and ride golf carts. We went to Severn to see Cathy's son, Taylor. He had just gotten home from the hospital. (Those of you that don't know, Taylor had an accident on his bike and broke his ankle in 3 places, including the growth plate. They had to send him to Edenton Hospital from Ahoskie via ambulance for surgery. He has a metal plate and several screws, and a hard cast right now. He came home Saturday. He's been in a lot of pain, but has handled it all really well! Bless his heart, he is going to have one long summer!)

Sunday, my child turned 10! OMGoodness! How is she 10? So much was going on when she came in, that I forgot to tell my child Happy Birthday! She asked me did I have anything to tell her! Talk about making you feel like crap! We went out to lunch with CJ's family for Father's Day! Our waitress found out that it was Alyssa's birthday and brought her out a little birthday cake and gave Alyssa her lunch for FREE!! We were all excited about that! The picture at the top is Alyssa blowing out the candle. After lunch, we headed to Wal-Mart and Game Stop so Alyssa could blow some birthday money. She couldn't find the game she was looking for, so she saved it until she could find it somewhere else. I was so proud of her, because I would have found something to blow it on! LOL If any of you see the NEW Hannah Montana Nintendo DS game, let me know! We then headed to visit with my Daddy for Father's Day. After that we headed to the pool. I think my house is starting to miss me! It's starting to show! LOL How does your house get messy when you are not even there?!?! Crazy!

So...that was my long blog about my busy little weekend!!!

Happy 10th Birthday Alyssa!!!!

I can not believe that my daughter is going to be 10 years old this Sunday! Where in the world has the time gone? She is having a Hannah Montana Pool Party tonight at Valley Pine Country Club. When I asked her what did she want for her birthday, she listed off...clothes, a bathing suit and money. She wants to take her money and go get a manicure! What?!?! What happened to toys?!?! She is just growing up way too fast for me! Hopefully, I will have some pictures to post of her birthday party on Monday. A bunch of kids at a pool, we'll see! LOL

Pre K - 2nd Grade Award Day

Well, we are almost finished with another school year! It's so hard to believe that my baby has completed Kindergarten. He just realized this morning that he passed his grade! Haha He does really well in school, other than behavior, so I don't know why he didn't think he passed. Here are just a few random pics from this morning's ceremony!


Logan walking in! He is just so little!

Hmmm...wonder what this is all about!

Hey Mama! Camryn realizing I was trying to get her picture!

Camryn receiving her award! She received 2nd place in her class for Accelerated Reader!

Oh WOW! We got Wal-Mart gift cards!

Logan receiving his Kindergarten Certificate.

CHEESE!!!! Oh, how I wish I would have fixed that belt! But, ain't he cute?!?!

Look at my cute little man!

Camryn showing off her gift card!

A closer look! She can't wait to go spend that $5! LOL I am so proud of her and I hope she continues to show such a genuine interest in reading. She was a little disappointed because she thought she came in first! It's okay, we'll get 'em next year!

Field Day!

My kids had the BEST time at Field Day!! Camryn and Logan had field day from 9 -11 and Alyssa's was from 12:30 - 2:30! Thank goodness I only work a couple of miles away! I went to Camryn and Logan's for a few minutes, went back to work and then went to Alyssa's for a few minutes and then back to work! What a day! But, it was worth it because the kids had so much fun! Camryn with a plastic egg on a spoon! It was a lot of fun getting pictures of Camryn and Logan since they were both lined up in the same spot in two different lines! Needless to say, I was doing my share of running back and forth!

Logan with his egg.

Trying hard to keep his egg on the spoon!

It's just too hard! LOL This is a pic of him after he dropped the egg several times! He was getting SO frustrated! LOL
