End of School Shelbi and Peyton

School is finally almost out. One more day then a nice break. Shelbi and Peyton have been staying with us for a while. Shelbi went floating the river over the weekend and we kept Peyton. I was in school during the day, but we still had some fun. That boy is precious and shelbi is ok too. Peyton is obsessed with tractors. We spent a great deal of time riding on the lawn mower, four wheeler or the real tractor. He is a sweetie , but all boy. He even tt'd on the potty several times.

Mother's Day Weekend

I had a great weekend. Kevin and Shelbi both came home on Friday. Of course Peyton was here too. we had a great weekend. We all ate too much, but we had fun. Justin surprised me and came to see us Saturday night. I could not have had a more wonderful weekend. I have to get off the computer because Dale is taking it to Waco.

Easter

We had a very nice Easter. Shelbi and Peyton were able to come, and we celebrated with my sister's family. It was lots of fun. The weather was cooperative and we spent some time outside. Kevin had just been home a couple of weekends before, so he was not able to make the trip. Shelbi allowed Peyton to stay with us a couple of extra days, so Dale took him home Wednesday. I even took off Monday afternoon and Tuesday to spend time with him. That is a big deal for me to take off work. We bought Peyton a big wheel. His legs are not quite long enough to peddle even though it is tiny. His pops bought him a little rope. He is seldom without tha cowboy hat. He is a very good little boy even though his favorite word right now is stop. He says shoes, cows, dog, juice, Nana, Pops, momma, hat, as well as stop. We had a great time playing with the other kids too. It was a great weekend.

On another note. I have one Taks test behind me. My 8th graders have finished and hope to have results soon. MY seventh take it next week. That will relieve some pressure.

Best and the Worst

This was a great weekend. We had three people spend the weekend with us that we really love. Shelbi and Peyton came early Friday afternoon. Justin came late Friday night. We visited and played with the little man. Saturday we just caught up and Shelbi and Justin went to see a movie. Dale and I just played with Peyton. He is so fun. He is talking more. He says ball juice and hat a lot. He has a cowboy hat and he loves it. It put it on and off a million times. He is very independent and wants to feed himself. The funniest thing was Dale would say Ahaaa and Peyton would repeat it. Shelbi had a new haircut, but we forgot to take a picture. It looked really cute. She is back in school and doing well. We are proud of her. Keep trying to convince her to move closer to home, but no luck. Everyone had gone home by 2 on Sunday. As good as it felt to have them here, it felt twice as bad when they left. Seems like it has been a bad week at school but some of it is due to the depressing feeling when those you love leave and you do not know when or if you will see some of them again.

Thanksgiving

We had a nice Thanksgiving. We spent Thursday with Dale's family. Four of the five children were able to be there. Peyton and Shelbi came too. That always makes it special. Dale and I can still here him saying dog. Everything is a dog. He can say stop and we did get him to say cow. He is so smart and walking better. He is such a little joy. He eats almost anything, but he loves those mashed potatoes. We took him to visit Santa. He was not sure about him, but he did not cry.

November

It has been a while since I posted. I read everyone's blogs daily, but I do not take the time to comment, but I do look forward to seeing all the pictures and getting the updates.
Last weekend shelbi and Peyton came home for an early celebration of Peyton's birthday. It is not until the 20th, but we will not be able to be there. I cannot believe he is a year old. He is so sweet and walking everywhere. Shelbi cut his hair all by herself this time. He says dog very clearly and attempts a few more words. He is still having trouble with his ears. The specialist is putting tubes in on Dec. 4th. Hopefully he will get some relief.
We are planning to go to Kevin's this weekend. He just opened his new store which is twice as large. He has been very busy. He will not be coming home for Thanksgiving because he has to open the store on Friday. We are going to help him a little this weekend.

Movie

Dale and I had a date. We went to see "Fireproof Your marriage". I do not think any of the actors will be receiving academy awards, but it has a great message. I do not think many left the theater with dry eyes. We had a good time.
