I have wanted to update this so many times over the past month and have not had the time to do so. The day after my last blog, we decided we better go to Amarillo to visit my Grandpa Weaver. He had a tumor removed from his pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst in regards to the survival rate so I thought I'd better high-tail it down there and see him. He was in ICU the whole time we were there so he did not get to meet Kyleigh. Since then, he's had a heart attack and will now be seeing a cardiologist about triple-bypass surgery next Tues.
Update on the Kids.....
1. Trevor - Still doing fantastic in school. He's becoming a really good kid and a joy to be around. He's finally coming out of the ADHD cloud that engulfed him until now. He's really into watching COPS and shows like that....I do not care for that but I was into that too at his age.
2. Brayson - Oh my, what to say about the middle child???? He's really struggling with following directions...mainly the ones given by ME. We butt heads quite often. He just doesn't understand why he can't have a popsicle right before dinner or have 5 of them for a snack. He doesn't want to shower, brush his teeth or do anything that would make him smell like anything other than a pile of dirt. In fact, I'm pretty sure a pile of dirt smells better than him most of the time...haha.
3. Kyleigh - She will be 4 months on the 25th of this month! She is now at the end of her battle with RSV. I'm so ready for it to be completely gone! She didn't ever need breathing treatments but her cough was terrible. Poor thing slept for most of the 5 days we were at home with her. I stayed home Friday afternoon thru Monday, then Jason stayed home Tuesday. I fixed her hair for the first time today. It is too cute! I put a little ponytail on the top of her head and then put a bow-clippie on her. She wants to sit by herself so bad. I'm going to get her a bumbo chair soon! I think I'm also going to invest in a highchair so she can sit in the kitchen with me while I do the dishes and what-not. She has the MOST beautiful smile. I just love it. It's amazing how long a mom can sit and just stare at her sleeping baby. They are so precious.
Me and Jason.......
I've had better months, that's for sure. My best-friends dad passed away from pancreatic cancer on Tuesday. That means that me and Kyleigh are going to Amarillo. We are flying out tomorrow afternoon and staying until Sunday evening. What a rushed week!!!!
With Kyleigh being sick and me having a bladder infection, I feel like I've missed 2 wks of work throughout the whole ordeal.
On a brighter note, Jason is finally going to ditch his current position and go back to what he was doing before. We are completely excited. Today, he's getting a Jeep since we will have to return the company car.
We are also shopping around for wood/laminate flooring.....what a pain that's turning out to be. I'm sure we'll find a good deal soon. I just want to take my time and find the best thing and Jason just wants to get them done.....patience is a virtue, right? The carpet in the house is AWFUL....it's just awful. Did I mention it was awful? I'm so embarassed when someone comes over. The person before us obviously did not clean up after themselves whatsoever when it came to spills on the carpet. I want to have a "burn the carpet" party when we pull it up....lol
I'm excited to go back home this week. I'm sad for the reason but glad to get to see some of my close friends from high school. We have such a good time when we get together.
On Sunday we will go visit my Grandpa and he will finally get to meet Kyleigh.
Jason has a bowling tourney this weekend and Trevor is going to go with him. Connie will be keeping Brayson...bless her soul! She's going to just fall over in her bed when she gets rid of him on Sunday. She'll need to catch up from all the energy she has to use.
I almost forgot to mention our date. We went out two weeks ago. Our plan was to eat sushi for an appetizer in Owasso and then go to Osaka and meet our friends. We did eat in Owasso. BTW, they have some of the best sushi I've ever had....weird right? So anyway, we are on our way to Osaka and our friends call and say that there are two fire engines and an ambulance in front of the restaurant. All the customers are standing outside. (I have no clue what happened) We decided to go to Shoguns instead. Well, the wait was over an hour so we went across the street to the mall and shopped around. I got the cutest dress for Kyleigh to wear Easter Sunday. We finally got to eat around 9 or so at Shoguns. It was really good. I have to say, I wasn't that impressed though. I had my heart set on eating at Osaka for nearly a month. Oh well, maybe next time.
Next blog, I'll post some pics. I'm too tired to mess with that right now.
