* Tuesday Tumbles...

Kyle: Tummy Cramps..........7:45 am Jonathan: Stiff Neck.....8:00 am

Madison: Cut open Toe...ER trip/stitches...12:04 pm

What started off to be a normal day all changed in a matter of seconds, and as the day progressed along it kept getting worse.

Kyle woke up to stomach cramps but got dressed for school. On the way to take Kamren to school he quickly grew worse and begged for home. I took him home were he spent the day.

On the way home with Kyle around 7:41 am Melo called to say Possum woke up with a catch in his neck and was very much in pain.

After getting lunch and heading to CHI, Cricket call to say they were in the ER with Priss who had sliced her toes into with some kind of dog brush. End results: 5 stitches.

A very busy day, but as I type all is well........

Pray for the All the babies to heal so they can make their yearly beach trip with Nana Bama & Poppa.

* Sleep-Over at Nai's....

Yesterday Sherri & Ricky went to Auburn for Lance's ROTC Dining out Ceremony(Air Force I think) and Miss Sophie had a sleep-over with us. We had quite a busy day! Sophie is a very busy little girl, always on the run. We played in the sprinklers, tree house,Basketball, movies, more sprinklers, Waffle house at 10:30 pm and then to Walmart for Oreo's and milk, were we saw a real princess (it was prom night in Dothan and there were Princess everywhere)

While we were eating at Waffle House she suddenly became sleepy and said she would sleep with Kam until her Mommy got through "Dancing"..LOL.. She knew her mommy & daddy were on a date and she had asked me earlier in the day if they were dancing and I just said yes, so she didn't forget.

When we got home she said "Nai, mommy forget Sophie's PJ's, I will have to wear Nai's PJ's...LOL. So in my room we went to look for PJ's to fit Miss Sophie. We quickly dressed her and up she went to Kam's bed. When I got there she was on the bottom bunk and Kam on the top bunk and she told me to sleep with "Misser Kirk". I waited for her to fall alseep and then Kam and myself put his mattress next to her and we all were fast alseep. This was to easy and I could not believe when I woke this morning she had slept ALL night without crying for her mommy. " A very BIG GIRL!

I heard her wiggling around about 7am and I peeked to see what she was doing and when she saw my eyes the 1st thing out of her mouth was " Clara's park Nai"....Pic a nic Nai?(she had been to Clara's birthday party here)

So up we got, went to get our picnic food(McDonald's pancakes) and off to the Highlands. When we got home she and Kam were hot so they got the pool and slip and slide out and swam until I got lunch ready. After lunch Nai was EXHAUSTED and we watched a movie and took a nap until mommy and daddy woke us up. What a fun 24 hrs, but I told Sherri she deserves a nap everyday when Shophie takes her nap. Sophie makes very sure that she makes every American minute count. She is on a mission from the time her feet hits the floor.

It has been a long time since I have had to be hands on 24/7 and it made me think of M, M & M and their little ones. They all have 2 little "Sophie's" and I just had one... Yes I know, I am getting old and that's why you have babies young.

Love you all and miss all my babies. I wish you all could be closer and have sleep-overs with you.

Nai Nai,

* PCS 2009 Antebellum Dance...

Kyle signing her Dance Book.....

Connor & Kyle....

Kyle's 2009 Antebellum Dance.

This is a part of Kyle's Latin/Greek grade. All is required to attend. The students are taught the proper way to court a girl, eat and dance. No one has a date and you cannot dance with the same girl twice. The boy must go to the father of the girl, tell his name and ask if he may dance with his daughter, and then sign her dance book. They then do a dance and after the dance the boy takes the girl back to her dad and thanks and shakes his hand.

All the girls are lined up around the gym with their dads standing behind them. All dances are done as a whole group. They did the Hat Dance, the Waltz, Patty Cake Polka, Virgina Real and the list goes on. They took two breaks over the 7 til 10 dance. Refreshment were served during breaks. Punch and cookies.

This was my 1st dance to attend and it was lots of fun.

Zac Carothers....

Brad & Connor...

A Hanky ????????????

The Hat Dance: The girl sits in the middle holding a hat and the guys tell her nice things, the guy who talks the sweetest gets the girl and the other guy is left with the hat.

Kyle was left with the hat... so now two girls come and the one who tells Kyle the nicest things gets Kyle and of they go to dance...

Kyle picked the girl on his left....

Kyle & Mrs. Shannon....

Kyle told me at 4:45 yesterday is was going to this dance. We had to be at Kamren's ballgame at 5:30 so that gave me about 20 min. to get his clothes together. We had NOTHING!!!!

I ran out the door at 4:50 going to Kohls,praying all the way that I would find what I needed in 10 min. I ran in the door grabbed black pants, bow tie, hat, white shirt (all for $46.98) and suspenders. I was back home by 5:10 praying that it all fit. We left Kyle at home to get dressed and off to the game we went. Whan I got to the dance at 8:00pm this is what I found. He is wearing his Dad's shoes (way too big) and white gym socks...LOL..
