Busy Week

Hi All! It's been a busy week here! I got to spend some time with my Mom (and Dad) but it's tax season, so "Dad" time was very brief. The kids and I went for an extended weekend to celebrate mine and Lila's B-days. We got there Friday and I told my Mom we were leaving Monday afternoon and she said, "You can't leave, you MUST stay till Wednesday. I've got stuff planned!" And I said, "Mother, I'm 31, I'll leave whenever I want!" Ok...so I didn't say that...I said, "how bout Tuesday?" So anyway, the kids and I stayed till Tuesday and we had a really good time.


Lila got to have her first B-day cupcake. Her B-day is actually this coming Friday...I CAN'T believe it!!!


I got to hang with my Carthage BFFs!


And then when we came back, Lila went in to get tubes put in her ears. She's had chronic ear infections and I've been asking for tubes for a while now, but my pediatrician didn't want to put her thru another surgery before she was a year old. But, then she had her EIGHTH ear infection in ONE year!!! Since we were so close to a year, the Dr. said go ahead. She did really well. And...all of you that talk to me regularly know she is the world's worst sleeper (never sleeping thru the night!!), BUT since tubes she's slept every night!! YAY for us (and her)!!!!

Also, here was E's big suprise present. It's actually all the kids at 10 months old in their Cowboy gear and then I had it professionally framed at Michaels. It turned out really good.
