Fancy Smancy Hair...

We had our team pictures for drill today and they do your hair and makeup and everything so it was pretty fun - it wasn't like that when I was in school! Anyway, the coaches got done up for free and it was fun to play around so I thought I would take some pics of the cute hair. (Sorry, this is at the end of the night and it was getting a little messy by then)

P.S. The girl who was doing my hair was about 19 or 20 years old and she thought I was one of the girls on the high school team until I started talking to my kids on the phone - that made my day!

Rhett's First Day of Preschool 2008!

This is Rhett on his 2nd day of school. He looked so handsome - I just had to take another picture!



Rhett could hardly wait to get to school. He asked all day when it was time to go and then it finally came! He also had to wait an extra week after his brothers and sisters went, so it was a great day when it was finally his turn! I love my little Rhetter - he is my little buddy and I will miss him!

The kids were very excited to go back to school as well as their mom (too much fighting going on) and they all looked adorable, I must say. Rhett doesn't start preschool 'til next week and he was pretty bummed he didn't get to go when his siblings did. Oh, and our day was even cooler because Mom (me) decided to go the back way to school in order to avoid traffic and ended up getting the car stuck in the mud because they had irrigated the field next to the road...Oops! It was quite the site seeing the kids and I (on crutches) hiking out of the mud to the school. Luckily we were only a soccer field away and my sister-in-law gave me a ride home. Richard was able to drive it out later that day when the mud had dried. Good times, my friends, good times...Anyway, how are you going to remember the first day of school if you don't have something awesomely exciting happen, right?

Anyway, it was a great day. The kids all loved their teachers and made new friends and saw their old ones. They are all great kids and I love them dearly!

Mohawk & The Lizard

Remember, Grandpa is a barber...so this was only temporary!

Knee Surgery

Last Thursday I ventured into my very known world...Surgery...Yes, Again! Usually when I tell my friends that I am having surgery that is what they say - AGAIN!? It has become a sadly common thing, but I am hoping to wrap things up because I have been feeling so well lately. Anyway, I have had a hurt knee for awhile and I have some necrosis in it so it tends to hurt me and give out sometimes, but they thought that I tore my meniscus also. Thursday, I was scheduled for surgery to come in at
3 p.m. which was very late when you have to fast, but then they called me and told me to come in an hour later because the doctor was running behind. Then when I got there, I waited and waited and waited and finally went into surgery around 8:30 p.m., that's right 8:30 p.m. Lots of waiting...they really got behind. So I ended up leaving the hospital at around 11:30 p.m. I was so happy to be done. When they got into my knee, it wasn't as bad as they thought and they ended up just cutting out some excess synovial tissue and cleaning things up a bit. I have to stay off it for a few days and then I can slowly start to put weight on it. Hopefully my recovery will be really quick because I cannot wait to get back to my classes! Anyway, just a quick update, but I am feeling great and my family has been a big help!

Visit With Grandpa

We try to visit my Grandpa each weekend. A couple of weeks ago, I took my Mom with me. She is staying with us for a bit. Rhett came too and thought it would be fun to share his 3-D glasses with Grandpa. I thought it was so cute! Grandpa's face is healing wonderfully and he has been doing really well!
