Ssshhhhh don't tell her.....

ok for those of you who don't have FB here is what Amelia does when she thinks no one is looking.......

I'M BORED.....

School officially ends Monday, but for some of my kids Friday was the last day. I mean really who goes to school on Memorial day for half a day...sounds kinds weird to me. For Nathan it ended Thursday morning with kindergarten graduation...I sent him to school looking all dapper and with his shirt tucked in...by the time we saw him this is what he looked like.....

Still cute to me...but untucked shirt...

here is a picture of Nate and his teacher...

I am hoping this video comes out because it was at the end of the program and it looked like he was thinking.."hurry up and get this over with..."

On Friday I returned to the elementary school for third grade awards. It was over by about 9:30 to 9:45, then the two little ones were done with school and I checked Amelia out and she brought a friend home and then I took them to get some Pizza at Pizza Hut. Where we met up with Me and My Gang.

And today is only Sunday...and can you guess how many times I have heard.....I"M BORED!!!!!!!!!! Its gonna be a looooonnnnnnggggg bbbbbooooooorrrrrriiiiiinnnnnggggg SUMMER...God help.......

Child labor....

Gotta start them young!!

Well, things are moving a long for the final week of school, we have a busy week.

Marshall has exams, Nate has kindergarten graduation and Amelia has 3rd grade awards. This is Amelia's last year at the elementary school, she will move to the Jr high for 4th grade next year. I will have all three at different schools. 

On the health front all is quiet, Nate is the only one right now with the yuckies again!!! 

Missing.....

I know I have been missing....
It has been some kinda crazy around here.
I promise though I will be back soon enough. There isn't much to update on...Amelia had her counts done again but unfortunately the good counts didn't last. her platelets are back down to 26, but we are not giving up on the fact that since they rose once they CAN do it again!!!! We are gearing up for summer around here, well the kids are, me not so much. I like routines and well we just don't have one in the summertime!!!!
Oh, Amelia was excited to hear that she gets another wish...
We were eating dinner the other night and the phone rang and it was a lady with the wish endowment fund ( I think that is what she said) and I told her that we had already went to Disney with Make-a-Wish and she said that didn't matter to their organization, she said she still gets one through them and she can go any where she wants and if she wants to go back to Disney that is fine with them, or anything else she wishes for!!! She is so excited...she is thinking she might want to go back to Disney, like for Thanksgiving...I talked to the lady at the wish foundation and said that if we had to go to transplant before then she would have things in place so that if we need to go we could go!
Well it's getting late and my little man needs me to put him to bed.
But I wanted to wish all of the mom's out there that read this blog a very Happy Mothers day to ya!!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to all of you for saying prayers for Amelia...she did great her hip look AWESOME!!! We got a ticket for another 2 years!!! Her right hip was at 20* the left hip which is the one that was always in the socket, was at 16. Dr. Bennett said that anything under 30 is normal and does not require surgery!!! We were all so happy, it is always nerve wracking anticipating these visits!!!
Thanks a Bunch.....

Prayer request.....

Just wanted to ask for some prayers for Amelia. Tomorrow we are going to the ortho doctor for a recheck of her hip. We haven't been in two years, she has been doing that good. We need that hip to continue to be doing good so that we can avoid surgery, surgery would be a challenge for her considering her platelets are so low. That would mean a transfusion, something at this point that we would like to avoid at all cost!!! I will let you know what the doctor says tomorrow afternoon...In advance let me say a great big thank you to all of you for continuing to keep my family in your prayers they truly do mean a lot to all of us!!!

Day 5 Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood studios

I know, I know I need to get back to the trip....

So this was our final day, and boy were we all feeling it. I wasn't sure that my feet were gonna make it! Poor Marshall was walking like a little old man, so we decided to rent him a wheel chair along with a double stroller for the kids. Well I knew that we got a free rental for the kids stroller from GKTW, well it turns out that the wheel chair was free too. Marshall said great we discover that on the last day!!

We decided to do Animal Kingdom first because there were only a few things there that we really wanted to see and since it was the last day and still had one park to go we had to do some picking and choosing.

First up we could not pass up a bugs life with Flick!! I think that is our favorite 3-d show!

I also for got to mention in an earlier post that when we were in MK we went to Monster inc.'s laugh show and before the show it said to text in your jokes and they might use them in the show...well I texted one with Amelia's name on it and they used her joke and said her Name and where she was from...she loved it.

Anyway from Flick we went over to ride the Dinosaur ride the kids all loves this one too. Then we headed to Mount Everest...I was a wimp and didn't want to ride ( I had a pounding head ache and by this time I was done with being twisted, turned, flipped, flopped, and just plum plopped!) So the 4 of them all went and wanted to go again...Nathan was kinda undecided, and they talked me into going...so the whole way through the line Nate couldn't make his mind up till we go right up to the ride and he said he didn't want to go again...so I opted out and took him out of the ride so I still didn't have to ride.

That was the last ride but let me see here are a few pictures that we took there...

(yes a child is missing...he didn't want to get in any of them)

So then we headed to Disney Hollywood studios...We spent the rest of the day there, there was a lot more stuff to do and some things we just didn't get too. Like the stunt show, which we had seen the last time we were there..but we didn't get to Fantasmic or what ever it is called, it wasn't until like 10 at night and well that was the last night and we were spent!

I think the kids had a great time here...their favorite ride there was Toy Story mania! It was a lot of fun!!!

and yes she poses for just about every picture she takes.
