What time is it??

It's SUMMERTIME!!! Today was the last day of school! The kids are super excited about summer...and I am too, as this is the first summer that I've worked a 'late' shift... 1130-530. (we get to sleep in). I've got a little time to spend w/ them in the morning...really not sure what they will do in the afternoons yet. I guess I better get that figured out! I would hate for them to spend the whole summer in this little apartment. :o( We celebrated by going out to eat...kids choice ...and they chose Chickfila ...then night swimming! They think that is the coolest! :o)

Colby update...

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Colby is doing much better. I took him back to the DR on Thursday, after his temp. was so high on Wed.. it got over 104 several times that day. They decided he had a sinus infection... gave him some medicine and sent us home...after 1 dose of the medicine he had one of the unpleasant side effects and had to change his medicine. It took forever to get rid of the fever... poor thing had a fever for 5 days straight! He IS going to school this week! He just has to.... I can't be in this apartment for 1 more day... I just can't!!

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!

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!

Water Fight.... Dad vs Son ... who won?

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.

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!
