Kindergarten Choir Concert!

He was so excited to see everyone there to watch him!

My handsome boy...the blondie in front of him...is his CRUSH :)

He did a great job but of course he DOES love to sing!

We are so proud of him and his accomplishments this year in kindergarten...I can't believe he is going into FIRST GRADE!!

Memorial Weekend

My brother, BEN, has a really cute connection with BRAIA!



The kids got to play Disney Sing It! It was funny to watch. ABREE of course had to dress up as the one and ONLY....Hannah Montana!

Silly ADLEIGH!

She was so weird-ed out by all the "new" people in our house, she kept hiding downstairs!

My parents are keeping my brother's dog, MAZIE, our kids are so excited!!

She really is a beautiful doggie!

Of course we had to end the weekend with some ROCK BAND...even ADDIE got some play time!

New Adventure...of the week :)

In the middle of the night...she slept in 5 minute cat-naps

Poor baby girl!

She kept smiling in all the picture...looking to happy...so I told her to give me a sad face...that is what I got!

They had to poke her 4 times :( She was such a brave girl. She is so good, she doesn't move or flinch...she holds PERFECTLY still as she crys in your arms, so sad!

Me and my baby girl!

End of the Year Party

Zeke and Ms. Sehnert

Project 365 Entry #20

Sunday, May 17, 2009

We all went to church today. After church we watched some TV, nothing really too exciting. We went over to the CANNON'S house for dinner. They did a BBQ. It was really good and our kids got a TON of energy out by running, jumping and climbing on their water castle. Thanks for having us over! After we arrived home, my DAD and AUSTIN showed up for dessert :) Luckily I made some for them!

ZEKE and TATUM had school today. It was the last "real" day of preschool for TATUM. BRAIA and ADLEIGH went with me to the YMCA. My boot camp class ended up outside today and it was 80 degrees at 9 in the morning, it was so hot!
JED and I decided to move our living room around...again! He hates that I want to move things ever couple of months. So far I really like this set up the best.
TATUM had dance class today. She received her costume for her recital, it is DARLING! They practiced the dance in front of the parents. Of course TATUM couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror and playing with her hair!
We didn't do a Family Night tonight because we were so busy cleaning the living room :( The kids were pretty upset, we'll have to make it up to them!

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

ZEKE went to school and the girls and I went to the YMCA. I am finally running my normal distance, so I vow to NEVER stop running during vacations because I hated that I couldn't run the same distance after the vacation.
Carson came home with ZEKE today after school. It was so hot outside, the poor boys were stuck inside playing. I felt terrible because I didn't have any Popsicle's to give them...and our air conditioner wasn't turned on.
So as soon as JED got home from work, I went to the store and bought a TON of different types of Popsicle's to help keep the kids cooled down while playing outside!
Nothing really big happened today, I am still trying to get my living room organized from moving furniture.

ZEKE went to school today but I ended up pulling him out early because TATUM had her preschool graduation/school picnic. So we headed over to the park and the kids got to play. ZEKE was excited to see his friend, KEVIN, from school last year. TATUM was so thrilled to see all of her school friends at the park. We ate lunch and then they did the graduation ceremony. It was fun.
ADLEIGH got burned on the slide, I was too busy TALKING, the poor thing!! BRAIA swung the whole time!
We came home and put everyone to bed. I continued to work on the laptop trying to get the videos to burn. No luck :(
JED got home early and we decided to order Chinese food for dinner since I was so exhausted and tired from "playing" around with the computer the past 2 days.
Around 6pm, we took the kids over to the park by our house to get some energy out. It was fun, the kids were showing off for JED since he rarely takes them to the park.
After the kids were in bed, we sat down and caught up on some TV shows :)

ZEKE had school this morning. The girls and I went to the YMCA and then Target to get supplies for ZEKE'S class party tomorrow.
I made about 50 cupcakes for the party. I separated out the bubbles into containers. I just now need JED to fill the balloons with helium and my part is DONE. I think next year I wont volunteer to help at EVERY party :) It has been fun but I am so glad this is the last one this year!
BRAIA had her last gymnastics class of the year. She is taking the summer off. I am not sure if she will return in the fall, it just depends on how crazy our schedule is. She really has enjoyed it though and its a GREAT place to take classes, so we'll see!
ZEKE had soccer practice tonight. JED and TATUM took him.

I practiced TATUM'S hair and make-up for her recital, she looks so weird, huh!?
I went to dinner with DEB and ALICIA. It was nice getting out of the house. I have been home bound for this whole week and I needed a break with ADULTS.

Friday, May 22, 2009

So the day started off a little crazy. I volunteered to help with ZEKE'S end of the school year party, so I had to be at the park to decorate by 8am. JED was home all day because we originally were going to leave town after ZEKE got out of school. BRAIA woke up acting a little weird, as in, she wanted to lie around and was coughing a little. I noticed that she was breathing really fast, well, since she had just gotten over croup I figured it was just left over from that. I also thought that the cooler air outside would be helpful to her, so I had JED bring the girls up to the party. The party was really fun and turned out great. JED left early with the girls because BRAIA was not feeling to well. I later called the doctor (of course I waited till after hours :( ) and they just said to watch her or bring her into the ER. We decided to take her to the ER just to make sure she wasn't low on oxygen, because she was breathing REALLY short and fast breathes. JED took her because I ALWAYS take the kids to the doctor and I figured it would mostly be sitting around for a few hours and then they would send them home. Well, BRAIA ended up having PUEMONIA!! I felt terrible for not taking her, when I showed up at the hospital she was crying and could tell she was excited to see me and JoJo. They wanted to keep her over night because her oxygen level was pretty low, hydrate her through an iv and then to start her on an antibiotic. I stayed the LONG and SLEEPLESS night with her. After having most of babies stay in the hospital over night before, I figured it would be so easy because she is older and can actually sleep. Boy was I wrong, it was the WORST night ever, her oxygen kept dropping, her heart rate got to fast, she coughed which made her cry, the nurse and doctor were in and out of the room literally every 5 minutes...I was having a hard time functioning.

Saturday, May 23, 2009

JED had an interview for a part time job...a very good reason for him getting one BUT we aren't ready to "spill the beans" quite yet :) Which he did get the job!
The hospital wanted to keep BRAIA in the hospital for at LEAST the day and watch her. She still wasn't acting very well. JED came and we switched places around noon. I needed a break. Although, I just came home and started scrapbooking, which I haven't done since BRAIA was born ;)
My brother's family came into town last Friday night. So my family took ZEKE off my hands and I just had to occupy just TATUM and ADLEIGH for the day.
JED stayed the night at the hospital. She was doing better but she was still requiring oxygen and they wont let her discharge until she is completely off oxygen.
ABREE spent the night with my kids, they watched movies and ate popcorn!

Tatum woke up sick this morning. She had a very hoarse cough.
It was Mother's Day and so Jed let me sleep in :) And made breakfast.
We went to church at 11am.
I spent the day doing NOTHING, it was way nice. I love my husband and kids!
Jed and my Dad made dinner for my mom and I.
I received flowers, chocolate and a card for my family.

Monday, May 11, 2009

Zeke and Tatum went to school this morning. I took the other 2 girls to the YMCA.
After picking up everyone from school we met Tatum's friend Paige and her mom for lunch.
Tatum had dance this afternoon. They got to practice their routine in front of the "big" girls class, it was so cute, although, still worried because Tatum is the leader and she is too busy playing with her hair to remember when to lead on and off the stage, haha
For Family Home Evening we talked about the Word of Wisdom and they actually new most of what I was talking about. Tatum said, "we don't eat bad things because we will get sick and die, right mom?" It had me laughing. We had chocolate chip cookies for dessert and played Wii sports.

Tuesday, May 12, 2009

Zeke had school. The girls and I went to the YMCA. I began running again, with my schedule lately I have been so busy that I haven't been able to run as much. Let me tell you it is so hard to get BACK into running the same length when you have taken a few days off. I pushed myself though :) I am hoping to do a race this summer.
My friend, Pa, came over with her boys to hang out. I always have such a great time with her. We just think a LOT alike and LAUGH a ton. She is a great friend!
The kids went to a Primary activity, so I have the early evening ALL to myself! Jed took them :)
Jed and I went to our FIRST PTO meeting, I figured that I should start going since I am the new Treasurer :) It was actually a lot of fun and it will be nice getting to know everyone better.

Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Zeke and Tatum had school and the rest of us went to the YMCA.
After school we met DEB and her kids at the park for lunch.
I got my hair cut this afternoon, Zeke went with me. It was really fun to hang out with him alone. I love my baby boy!
Pretty down day, just hung around home.

Thursday, May 14, 2009

Zeke had kindergarten. The girls and I stayed at school with him because it was FIELD DAY. It was so hot and sunny. Zeke did a great job following rules and playing the games. Adleigh spent the whole time trying to get out of the stroller to play. Tatum kept getting in line with Zeke and his class mates. Braia just sat or stood by me the whole time. I was glad that he had us all there to support him.
Zeke got to stay at school and have HOT lunch with his friend Carson. They were letting kindergartner's stay with their parents for lunch just to show them what it will be like next year. Carson's mom was nice enough to take Zeke with her, knowing that I have all the girls with me. He liked eating lunch at school.
We then went to a park and met Tatum's friend, Kamyrn, and her mom. We ate lunch and let the kids play. It was a new park and the kids seem to have lots of fun :)
Braia had gymnastics practice.
Zeke had soccer practice.

Friday, May 15, 2009

Zeke had school. I got to go to the Y this morning by my self :)
Jed had the day off. He watched the girls all morning so that I could get things done.
Fireside at their END OF SCHOOL YEAR party. We went to that and had dinner and the kids got to play some games.
Austin came over to babysit so that Jed and I could go out. We ended up just going and seeing 2 movies. We saw the new X-Men movie (great!) and 17 again! (great!). It is all nice to be alone with Jed and not have to worry about kids or things.

Saturday, May 16, 2009

We got up early and went to the YMCA for our yoga class. After class Jed and I went running. I only ran 2 miles but Jed had to show me up :) he ran 5 miles!!
I stayed at the Y and did an hour Latin dancing aerobics class. It was fun!
Zeke had another soccer game. My dad got to come see him this time. He has really got into soccer this season :)
I then went over to my friend, Nikki's, house. She is starting up her own photography company and wanted to practice on people and she asked me. It was nice being away from family and getting to feel "pretty" for a couple of hours :)
We went grocery shopping.
Later in the evening we went over to my parents house to hang out with them. It was a slow Saturday, just the way we like it!
