Back to School

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. We haven't been busy at all, so that's not my excuse. We stayed home this weekend (really needed that). We cooked out on the grill both days. I started back to school on Monday. We have to check off on our skills and take a math test that we have to make a 100 on. I passed everything so I don't have to go to school tomorrrow (yay). Jaicee had cheer today. Grandma came HOME today. I haven't talked to her yet but I plan on calling her soon. I'm sure she is SO glad to be home. Brian is teething like crazy but no tooth coming through yet. Thats about it in the world of Manhards...

Brian's Well Visit

Brian weighed in at 18lbs 10oz. Length was 28 and head was 17. So, he is a big big boy. I thought he weighed more than that, but I guess not. She said he just looks heavier because he has so many rolls. Other than that he is doing great. He got two shots and the rota virus vaccine that you drink by mouth.

Home From Shreveport

We had a great visit in Shreveport. We left Friday evening. Me and the kids went alone. Brian was great on the trip over, I only had to stop once. And it was more for me than him.

Saturday morning we went and seen grandma at her rehab place. Its a really nice place and they people are really nice. She looked GREAT. Sitting in a chair talking and cutting up with the kids. After we went to see her Me, the kids, and Mom went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Wow, was it great! I love that place. Stephen hadn't had a nap and was acting a fool, but it could have been worse. The hostess put us right by the video games... so he wanted to play and not eat. We spent the rest of Saturday at Granny's house. Went and seen Grandma again that night and went home.

Sunday we woke up and went to Mudbug Festival. It was pretty fun. There wasn't a whole lot to do there for the kids. The crawfish were small but tastey. We mostly stood around listening to music and drinking and letting the kids run around. My sister brought one of her friends that has three kids... two girls that were old enough to hold Brian and watch Stephen. After we left there we went and swam at Court's hotel room. Chase and Lacey came over. We got back to Grandma's house about 11 and the kids were exhausted.

Monday morning me and the kids went out to visit Chase and Lacey. Went and seen Grandma again and hit the road to come back home. My dad drove us home.

It was so nice to sleep in my own bed again. All the kids have been congested so at Gma's I slept on the floor with Brian instead of getting up and down all night with him.

Brian has a well-vist at 2:15pm. Jaicee has cheer at 4. We may be skipping cheer today... I haven't decieded. Matt took Jaicee and Stephen to get a hair cut. Tomorrow I have to go register for school. 10 more weeks!! Yay.

Mom took pictures this weekend so I will have to get with her to post them.

Friday already?

So, Stephen has had a runny nose for the past two days or so. Well, last night when Jaicee was trying to fall asleep she was restless because she was congested. Then, during the middle of the night I realized that Brian wasn't sleeping well due to the same reason. He woke up a countless number of times last night. This morning I tried to suction his nose with saline and bulp syringe... but didn't get anything out. Seems like its all dried. We are supposed to leave for Shreveport in the morning but I am not sure if they are sick. Who knows. I'm looking at Brian right now and I can see clear drainage coming out of his nose. No fevers though, thank god. This weekend is MudBug festival in Bossier City and we were planning on going to that as well. My cousin Chase was in Saint Jo working this week and stopped by last night on his way home. I watched Ainsley yesterday... thats everything that is going on.

So Bored...

I'm so bored since I'm out of school.

Sunday we went to Mainstreet Days with Holly, Curtis, and Ainsley. Stephen kept screaming and throwing temper tantroms that Matt & Curtis had to leave with him. When we were leaving to go there I picked up my camera and noticed that it is broken. So, I'm really upset about that!! Monday I had a follow up appt with my urologist. He said everything was okay, and that I needed to drink more water (duh). Yesterday Jaicee had cheerleading and it was bring a friend week, so she brought Ainsley. They had a good time.

TGIF

I had my graduation last night at 6pm. Well, my fake graduation. I still have ten more weeks of MedSurg and Clinicals. Hopefully it will be easy. We will have our own Nursing Ceremony in August which is more like our real graduation. Our class lost 5 more people to failing grades, so sad.

Today me, Matt, Jaicee, Stephen, Brian, and Matt's mom went to the Fort Worth Zoo. Boy, am I exahausted. You can check out all of the pics from Graduation and the Zoo HERE. Password is jaicee

Grandma is doing great. She has been excercising everyday. The first day she walked she said she walked 100 feet. They said since she was doing so good they were going to have the cancer doctor come by and talk to them a little sooner than before.

I have two weeks off and I dont know what I'm going to do with myself. I know my kids are going to drive me crazy :)

There is God.

I passed my class by 0.28... One question away from failing...
