Just the Seven of Us: April 2009

Cheerleading Competition!

Getting ready! She loves her jacket.

I made a sign for us to hold up!

This sign was Luke's and Wade's to hold!

Everyone arriving. Kelli is in the second row on the right. Second from the last.

Us with Timmy the Tiger!

Dad just gave Kelli a Ubi Petz doll that is a cheerleader right after she competed..

So Cute!

She is listening to all the thousands of parents that are cheering with bull horns, air horns, cow bells, and whatever you can think of. It was scary at first she said.

This is most of the teams that were on the floor.

Kelli with Coach Michelle.

This is the Team Cheer! She is the last one on the right, 1st row.

This is the Team Dance! She is the last one in the 2nd row on the right..

Her dance team did so good. North Fontana, us, won the Parents spirit award for being the loudest and the best signs and were dressed up all in blue. All the girls got trophies. Mason and the boys loved supporting Kelli. It was way different than baseball. Luke said it's just like cheerleading they have on t.v. It started at 1:30pm and got over after 5:00pm. It was long but awesome. It was at Cal State San Bernardino and there were teams all the way down from Long Beach. About 600 girls were there. It was lots bigger than we thought. Love you Kelli!

Dad's Way!

Friday I started having contractions and they lasted all day. I never got the chance to sit down and relax so I didn't want to go to the hospital until I could relax my uterus and give it a break. Luke had a basball game at 5:30 and I promised my friends who I was with all day that if after the game I still was in pain I'd go in. Well, sure enough right after we came home from the game, I drove myself. I hate my irritable uterus. I had another Uti because my urine is always bloody, gross, I know. The blood is also from kidney stones they found in my kidneys. The biggest one they found is 1.8ct. Huge! But the big ones sometimes actually stay high and hang out until after delivery. I then just have lithotripsy which blasts them into hundreds of pieces. But needless to say I was in the hospital staying overnight with stones, low potassium, and contractions. It was a long night. They gave me morphine because my back hurt so bad. We weren't ready for me having to stay overnight but Mason was a trooper and took care of everything.

The next morning he took work off, well did some at home, and got all the kids off to school on the bus. After Wade left at 10:30am he and Trey got to come see me for a couple hours. I got to come home that night which was about 7:30pm and all day I kept calling making sure that the kids were doing there homework. Since it was the last night to do it. Although, I am the drill sergent in that area I came home assured that he was getting Luke's homework done with him. This is what I saw.. Hilarious! Total Mason style.

This desk was just givin' to us and it was in our front patio. He brought it in from outside and he sat down, made Luke stand up and they were able to do two things at once. Play playstation 3 and help with homework. I came in seeing this I had to just laugh!

Dad's are the best.

BBQ at Aunt Ginny's

Last week we went over to Aunt Ginny's house for some real good Bbq'n. Thanks Chuck and Ginny! The kids got to swim and that was an extra bonus for them. It's gets them excited for the summer. This was Trey's first swimming experience in a big pool. He walked right in the deep end and went right under the water and never choked or cried. We were shocked! Mason would put him under the water and then he'd swim right back up. He is 17 months now and he is getting bigger by the day.
