Sick Days...

...call for lots of game playing!

For once in my life, I actually

thought I was going to WiN 

in a matching game against Sweet Girl.  

BUT, it didn't happen!!!  ;(

Sick Days also call for...

TENTS in the living room!!!!!!!!!!

...and indoor football games.

(He literally played football in my room

for 45 minutes ~ running, tackling,

catching the ball, scoring, etc!!!)

Then a fashion show!!!!!!!!!!;)

But mostly sick days with this

girl mean A LOT of snuggling!!!!!!!

This sweet thing is a CUDDLE BUG...

even when she's not sick! 

Sweetest little girl in the world(:

Feeling better, but still had to make

a trip to Dr. G's...strep it was!  :(

That just meant another day of game playing!  

Cutest little Banker, EVER.

Almost all better called

for a USwirl trip!!!!

The day Hadlee went back to school,

sweet Jersi Girl gave her this card.

What a sweet, sweet friend!!!!!!!!!!

Jersi Girl did this on her own

and it brought tears to my eyes.

So thankful they have each other!!!

Unfortunately a whole week later,

Walker came home from school

burning up with fever:(

He left that morning feeling fine,

but he said during SECOND period

he started feeling bad.  He never

told anyone although several friends

and teachers asked if he was okay.

When I got to him, he had 103 fever:(

He had an important play off football

game the next day and that's why

he didn't say anything about being

sick.  He thought if he made it

through the day that he could still play

in his game the next day. 

He thought wrong:(

Last minute I texted our doctor

and he let me run Walker up to his

office for a flu and strep test

(after hours when his own son was

about to play in a real play off game...

God bless our kind doctor!!!).

Negative on both, but our doctor

highly suspected it was still flu -

just too early to test positive.

This was a heart breaker for Walker.

Lots of tears were shed over

not being able to play in his game.

Took a lot of pep talks and his team

rallying for him and telling him

they'd win the game for him.

And they did!!!!!!!!

Poor Guy pretty much spent the rest

of the weekend playing football

on his iTouch and watching movies

with Mama ~ which I loved(:

People who have sick children

or disabilities or illnesses themselves

are never too far from my mind,

but especially when my own are sick.

It is SO hard seeing your children

hurt or be sad.  I can't imagine

it what it's like for those that it never

lets up.  All I can do is keep them

close in my prayers and pray that

I never know that feeling. 

It can happen in an instant though. 

Huds and Football

Not only does he (pretend to) play

football all the time, ask for

new football gear every day,

and play in his brother's and his

brothers' friends football stuff;

but he also draws himself playing

football at Mrs. Janice's.....

Here he is when he got a hold of

 Jared's practice jersey at our house one day!

Love my little football STAR so much(:

Hadlee's Fall Open House

Hadlee is loving third grade!!!!!!

Having her best friend with her

certainly helps, too!  Plus

she has such a super sweet teacher...

We love Ms. Penson(:

Sweet Girl is very diligent about

her school work.  She cares about her

grades and reads and does her homework.

I love that she wants to be a smart girl:)

All A's so far!!!

She has such great handwriting!!!

She wanted to show me every

last detail in her notebooks!  

Huds and I were shocked by

what she showed us on her iPad....

An Aggie football player?!???!!!!

Brother and Daddy would have been so

proud, but they were at football!  

Hard to believe that at next year's fall

open house, we will be visiting

both of their teachers!!!

I am treasuring these days. 

 

Dad's 75th Birthday!

We were so excited to try and surprise

my Dad on his 75th Birthday!!!

I think we did:)

We served La Fiesta fajitas

and all the fixings:)

Hook 'Em vs. Sic 'Em

PaPa is very loved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As handsome and distinguished

as ever at age 75!!!!!!!!!!

I love my dad so much!!!

And boy does he love meeeeeeeeee(:

He loves ALL of his girls so much!

Macy had to facetime him since

she couldn't be there/lives out of town.

Blue morph photo bomber!!!  ;)

Singing to PaPa!!!

Grandmother's famous chocolate cake...

she had to make it for Logan

and Mical especially!  :)

Good times!  Just wish that Hunter and Macy

could have been there that night

AND that Hadlee wasn't sick:(

 This man loves his girls!!!

The hardest man in the WORLD to buy for.

He has never wanted anything!!!

Brother/Sister LOVE! 

My Guys...

Sweet girl spent the whole night

in my bedroom in bed:(

with fever (strep throat!!!)

She hated missing her PaPa's party,

but she felt horrible.

  PaPa hated missing her:( 

When we started planning the party,

I sent this hilarious picture to my 

sisters and told them I was going to post it

on Facebook.  Lynna didn't like it of

herself sooooooooooooooo....

I did this to it before I posted it!!!  HA!

I felt so very thankful to be celebrating
my dad and that it was such a good time.
Bless his heart, he has been struggling
lately with memory and some other issues.
My dad is a good, good man.
He's a sweet, funny, crazy dad
who loves his girls (and now his boys, too)
so, so much.

We couldn't love W.H.Gibson more!
Praying his 75th year brings him many blessings(:
