picture perfect

Today I decided to take some pictures while we celebrated my Dad's 60th birthday and watch LSU beat Tulane (although it was painful to watch at some points)

Trying to get 6 kids to look is hard but I did get one that turned out ok

This is more what it felt like trying to take the pictures.

My back is doing better - or maybe it is the meds talking... we will see I start my 8th round of PT next week - I think I will be in and out of PT for the rest of my life AHHHHHHHHH. Unless I can figure out a way to get a whole new back but since that is not going to happen I will just help keep PT's in business.

learning

Well I have decided to learn to make dresses for Katie. The LSU one was my first and I don't like the dress that much - it flares to much and so it looks too big (they are both a size 1)

The other one is a better dress style but after seeing it in the pictures I need to move the buttons up some. But I am learning! I actually only did the sewing that did not show - I had Mom come behind me and do all the sewing that shows - the hem and the sewing around the neck. Maybe I will try the hem next dress???

Beside my back hurting like hell everything is going great. I have not hurt like this is a very long time! Good thing I was already going to the Dr in the morning.
Jaxon is loving his class in preschool. If I ask him what they did he tells me a little but then as the day goes on he fills me in little by little.
Katie actually wined a little this morning because she did not get to get out at their school. It was kinda funny - at least I know she likes it!!

Fun at the Mall

Today Maddie and Tommy came to play with Katie at her playgroup at the mall. The kids had fun.

The play ground has a Jazz theme. Very cute.

Wii weekend

We had a very busy and great weekend! We had the Labauve's come in from Texas and we had Gary come in from Cali (we had not seen him since 2000). IT was great seeing Gary again. He was always so much fun.

Saturday we decided to get a Wii - we had been talking about it for a few months so we just went ahead and got it - fun fun fun.

Jaxon can beat everyone in boxing ok so not the best game for a 3 year old but it is funny to see him beating a 30 year old man!!!

But watching Izaac and Jaxon play was funny and painful!!

They were really good at baseball and bowling

and the one were they had to ride a cow.

So now we know what to Jaxon for his birthday.

And Erik for his birthday!!

now everyone is gone and the kids are in bed so I get a little bit of quite before the day starts all over again in the morning.

I learned how to make bows this weekend - so easy and fun and Katie doesn't even keep them in her hair.

Here is a picture I took of the kids before the weekend started....

busy days

You would think that now that the kids are in school I would be able to get some stuff done around the house. But that is not the case I am busier then ever! I don't mind the drive to bringing the kids to the MDO it is actually nice to have the car by myself .
I had a bunch of stuff to write but now that I actually have a minute to write I can't think of anything!! Crazy

Sunday

Today was a good day I spend time at a baby shower and saw a bunch of my family that I don;t get to see too much - Hallie included in that. But then I came home to a very cranky 3 year old that is not banished to his room for throwing too many fits for not getting his way and not listening! boy of boy who ever said 2 was hard did not run into my 3 year old!!

tomorrow is a new day!

unhelped day

My first unhelped day was a good. Katie made it through her first day at school with no problems or tears! Jaxon loves his new class and teacher. It is always great when the teacher is good. Mrs. Tate loves kids and it really shows!
now I have a hundred things to do so I'll update more later....

New Day

OK so it is a new month - with a lot of new things going on so I decided to go back to this blog since everyone seems to use this one more then myspace.
SO what is going on:
Jaxon and Katie start MDO and preschool tomorrow! I am so excited. Jaxon really needed to be back in school he gets bored and his new teacher seems great.
Katie will have the same teacher Jaxon had at his age so I am really happy with that since she already knows the family and is use to Erik!
We are still unpacking! I know it has been 2 months but it is really hard with the kids trying to help. so tomorrow I should be able to build some storage and get a little organized.
I hate that some places do not have homes yet.
OK that is all for now. I plan to be better at keeping this updated. we will see!
