Beautiful Bling!

I can't believe that summer is almost over! It seemed to fly by for us. A couple of weeks ago, Ky decided that she was ready to get her ears pierced. I was so surprised because she has always told Jas and I that she was going to get them pierced when she turns 10. I don't know why that was the magic number, but we were certain that she wasn't going to change her mind. (She is so afraid of needles.) She came in one night a couple of weeks ago and told us that she was ready and wanted to get it done before school started. We figured we better jump on it before she changed her mind. She did so great. Didn't even shed a tear! I kept telling her, "Ky if you can get your tonsils out, you can get your ears pierced." LOL! I guess she agreed with my logic. We think she looks so cute! Growing up before our eyes!

Waiting patiently!

Looking a little nervous. ;-)

Almost done!

Beautiful Bling!

I have to end my post with what I'm anxiously waiting and excited about:

RED RAIDER FOOTBALL!
WRECK 'EM TECH!!

GET YOUR GUNS UP!!!

I Heart Sparkly Vampires!

After the past couple of weeks, I so needed a G.N.O. I have to admit that my friends and I are definitely big time Twi-fans. My bestie, Lar, and I had so much fun at the "Twilight Saga: New Moon," midnight premiere that we HAD to have tickets to "Eclipse." We also had t-shirts made this time. ( The lady at the popcorn stand said that our shirts were the best that she had seen! Hee hee!)

Being the "pros" that we are, we informed our friends that we must get to the theater at least 6 hours early. When we got to the theater, we were so excited to see that we would be waiting inside. (It had been raining all day!)

We were prepared! We had blankets, snacks, and drinks. My mom and our friend, Debbie, met us a little later with games. We played a couple of rounds of Spin Uno. The time went by so fast. It may have also been because we were so excited to see the movie. We had so much fun together! We were even on the morning news the next day!

I have to say that "Eclipse," is the best movie out of all of the Twilight movies. It had romance, action, and even a little comedy. It had all of my favorite parts from the book. It really made me so excited for "Breaking Dawn." (My favorite book!) You guys have to go and see it. Here are some pics from the night. I so wanted to take a pic inside the theater, but there was this man watching for people who brought in cameras, video cameras, and recording devices. He looked a little scary! LOL! Didn't want to mess with him! I hope you enjoy!

Lar, Kriston, Jodi

Besties!

Thank you so much to Lar, Mom, Debbie, Kriston, and Jodi for such an awesome G.N.O. It was so much fun. I cannot wait for us to go to the "Breaking Dawn" premiere. Team Edward all the way!

Sweet Cousins!

I wanted to start off with an update on Kylie. She is doing awesome. We ended up having to go to the E.R. for a bag of fluids, but it was just what she needed. She was severely dehydrated and the fluids jump started her system. She is like a new child, now. She is eating and drinking everything in sight. LOL! Thank you so much for your well wishes and prayers! We are ready to get back to our fun summer activities.

We had a fun and wet Fourth of July weekend. Hurricane Alex came through with a bang. It interrupted some of our activities, but not all. Jas' brother, J, J's girlfriend, Shalita, and cousin Bekah, came to town. I try to have the girls pics made together every summer. I wanted to post them here so that my mother-in-law can see all of her girls and how they have grown. I will have to do a future post with all of the pictures from over the years. I thought they turned out super cute! I hope you enjoy!

I have a very fun post coming soon of all of us gals on a G.N.O. We went to the midnight premiere of "Eclipse." We even had shirts made for the event. I can't wait to share! I hope you are all having a wonderful beginning to your week.

Tough Road...But We Are Getting There!

Friday, June 18th 2010...Ky had her tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy done. I have talked to several mom's about this surgery and until my child had it done, I don't think I fully grasped how hard the recovery is. She had a very tough day on Friday. Her tummy did not take well to the anesthesia. Everyday she gets a tiny bit better. My main concern is her drinking/ eating.

After the surgery, our Dr. came out and said, "Kylie wins the prize for the worst tonsils I have EVER seen." He then went on to tell us that the tonsils were severely scarred and had an inner infection. He told us that this HAD to be done because of how bad her tonsils were. He said that because they were so bad she has a higher possibility of bleeding and so she is on a strict diet for two weeks. I have to be able to run my finger threw it before she can eat it.

That's where we are today. She is having a tough time eating/drinking anything. She is a picky eater anyways, and so this has been a very stressful time. I know it will get better. It is just going to be a daily process. I took some pics with my phone of her pre and post surgery below:

Silly Juice they gave her is taking effect! LOL!

After surgery: Poor baby!

Happy Day: Her bestie , Matthew came to visit...She had been asking to see him all morning. Thanks for bringing him, Cindy!

Sweet Caelei came too! She had her tonsils out a few years ago and totally understood what Ky's going through.

We have had lots of mommy/daughter time together. I painted her toes with polka dots on them. It was so great to see her smile on her face when she saw them!

I wanted to say a special thank you to my bestie, Lar. (She watched Marls for us! You are such a blessing from God!)I want to thank Nene and Papa for holding my hand and letting me freak out a little during the surgery. I also want to thank Blythe, Cindy, Debbie, Jodi and Korey. These are some wonderful friends who have brought gifts and meals since we have been home. What a blessing it is to have such wonderful friends and family supporting us!

I also wanted to ask if you guys would keep us in your prayers during Ky's recovery. I know it's going to be a tough road but one that will be worth it!

Momma Needed A New Pair Of Shoes!

And...I got some!!!!! I am officially 36 years old. My birthday started off with a pedicure and special lunch with some great friends and ended with my bestie, Lar, and I going out for our annual GNO. She took me to see SATC 2. It was a really cute movie. The funny thing is that I think we saw the first one last year for one of our birthdays. Lar had asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I had been seeing so many ladies wearing cute wedges. Lar brought not only 1 pair but two pairs of sandals for me! I wanted to say thank you to Lar for being such a wonderful best friend to me for over 20 years. You are truly the sister that I always longed for. I also wanted to say a special thanks to Jas for taking care of the girls so I could have a night out! Love you guys!!!!

Before our dinner and movie!

Don't you just LOVE my gift bag that Lar made with my big M!?! I am very excited to see what's inside! LOL

My goodies! I LOVE my wedges and I can't wait to be wearing them around L-town!
