My sick baby...

Colby has been so sick the past few days.... he came down w/ a fever Monday night after a very loonngg weekend, and ended up throwing up in the middle of the night. He said his head hurt and throat, and w/ the fever and throwing up I just knew it was strep throat. However, the DR said no...it must be a viral thing, and to just keep an eye on him. Well, today wasn't any better, his fever shot up to 104.1 in less than hour...very scary! The nurse still says to just keep on eye on him, that viral stuff can last up to 10 days! To top it all off, he missed his Kindergarten Graduation today!! :o( I'm so sad...but hopefully he'll feel better tomorrow!

Happy Memorial Day ...

Every year, for the past 3 years, the Thurmans have had a 'block party' in their neighborhood. We grill out , rent a bounce house and have water fights... a great time was had by all. Thanks Rocky and Shariss for inviting us and opening up your home to all of us!


Rocky & Ryder

Colby showing the big welts that Mr Darin gave him by throwing a water balloon ... a little too hard ... he also got Mikayla as well... I guess he doesn't know his own strength!! MEANY! He said the water balloons were too small and he had to throw them hard, or they wouldn't break!

Waterballon Toss...

Underpants .....

Well, I keep forgetting to take my camera to Colby's soccer game, but I have a funny story. Last week at his soccer game I kept yelling for his team ... which is the Thundercats... a lady from the other team was standing beside me, and finally about 1/2 way through the game, she asked me, what is the name of your team?? I said, the Thundercats... and she started laughing...and she said, I thought you were saying 'Go Underpants'! I guess my TX accent has come back... too funny! Colby did a great job in that game... Grandpa Thomas was there watching and he scored 2 goals! He was SO proud! I will try and get pictures at the next game.

Texas Girls

This is a picture of Rylee and her friends in Fort Worth. She went to a birthday party in Cowtown and they all got to dress up and have fun.

Go play in the street!!

Since we don't have a yard, the kids have to ride their bikes / scooters in the street... we have to yell "CAR" everytime so they will stop / freeze / where they are! Not an ideal playground, but we don't have much of a choice!

Temp Housing

Ok Mindy, these pictures are just for YOU! This is our 900 sq foot 2 bedroom / 2 bath apartment. They are a little over a year old, so they are very nice (for apartments). We do have granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, and a 1 car attached garage, where all of our boxes are. We unpacked the bare minimum, as we will be moving out by mid-August (hopefully sooner). WE are building a house! YEAH.. very exciting! Not much to see.... the kitchen ,living room and dining room all run together...and my office... that little hutch in the corner of the living room. It all works and we are very blessed to have found such a clean place for a short term lease. However, we are counting down the days until we can get out of here!

Pet Rock

Colby had to find a rock and turn it into a pet for a project for school. We 'found' this rock outside of a restaurant (it doesn't matter that it was part of their rock garden,does it?? I'm sure they won't miss it!) He decided it looked like a cat and painted it blue. Thank you to the Morse's for giving us the googly eyes and paint brush! He had to tell the class 3 attributes about it. He said the rock was shaped like a cat head, it was smooth and the hair was fluffy (the hair was a piece of the carpet) LOL! He also had to name this pet, and he chose the very original name of ROCKY! Don't we just LOVE family projects! :o)
