Catch UP!!!

As I just typed the title to this blog, I actually reminded myself I need Ketchup....this is how crazy I have been lately trying to get work and home prepared for my surgery!!!!
My brother, sister in law and neice were down weekend before last....I had all these plans to take the kids to Botanic Gardens...or the zoo...but THAT didn't happen.  They did get to play ALL day with each other, and my dad and brother built me TWO new gates.  Mine were damaged when we have all the storms in the spring.  While they were doing that, Karen and I cleaned out HALF of my garage...YAY!!  So excited I now don't have to climb over things to get to something :)


Stephen and Dad and my new gate

After all the work we did take them to the park and then Dad and Jen took us out to eat at Pearls Oyster House....yummy!!  And little Baylee Jo came and spent the night with me and the kiddos.  She must have asked could she spend the night 400 times during the day ;)



Let's see---what all happend this week:
MONDAY:
Coop and I headed over to Mom's house for our weekly visit while Peyton is at dance.  Coop took the BIG footbal this time!!!



Coop and Pop



TUESDAY:
Alyson sang while Jacob Pankey played the guitar at "See you at the pole" 2011!  So very proud of her and all her friends.

THURSDAY:

Went to lunch with my sweet friend Debbie at one of our FAV places: Trolley Stop Market!!  YUMMY!!

Coop got big leggos when he was about 2 but has never showed an interest.  I got them out this week and he has been a building fool....he is SO proud of his buildings :O)

FRIDAY:
Friday night was the Marion vs. West Memphis Football game.  Cooper wanted to go, so therefore we went!!  It was SO crowded...and let me say...some teenagers have the respect of a fruit fly.  We stayed for the first quarter and 1/2 of the next and we had had plenty!!  Alyson is in the Marion Maniacs club so she stayed for the whole game.  They go down to the field at the beginning of the game and make a walk way for the players to run through.



SATURDAY:
Saturday the kiddos and I got ready and went to the Hullabaloo at Marion Methodist Church.  They do this every year....but this was our first visit!!  They had a GREAT time so this will become an annual thing :)

So it's been a pretty full week!!  Tomorrow is my surgery, so I probably won't be posting for a while.  Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers....and I hope everyone has a GREAT rest of the week!!!
