year end pictures

I have been so outta the loop with everything, I almost forgot to take end of year pictures. These are not the best, will have to do this year 

Last day of 5th grade. It's been quite the ride this year. 

(He just brushed his teeth and wiped his face on his shirt. That's my son!)

Last day of  3rd grade

She has became such a more confident and  more comfortable with herself and less relying on Momma and others!

Last day of school

I was super excited that I was allowed (Brian let me go since I stayed home the previous day) to go to Awards day, but at the same time I was torn as well. This has been the first year in 5 years that I have not worked the last day of school and field day, its one of my favorite days of the year and not just because its the last day of school. I love to see the growth of the kids from start to finish.


Both Hunter and Hayley did AWESOME this year, we had a trying year at times and it was the prayers from our family and friends that got us thru and we all have grown from this. I was a proud Momma, almost to the point of embarrassed, because they were getting every award possible. A teacher asked me if we brought the trailer to bring home all their awards with. I am beyond blessed that school comes easily for them and they love it (thus far) it WASN'T that  way with Brian and I!!

CLASS  OF 2020

What a proper way to end the morning then a balloon realese in honor of Dawson, so beautiful, peaceful and fitting.

Bittersweet to watch it all come to and end as Hunter completed his last day of elementary school and Hayley's last day of 3rd grade, This has been a very hard and challenging year in every area: physically, academically, spiritually, maturely and emotionally. We were faced with situations beyond our control and no doubt were life changing. I am one blessed and proud Momma on how both kids handled these. Friendships that were made and tested this year are priceless and I hope will last forever. I am so proud of the young persons you are both becoming. Daddy and I love you more then you will ever know!! Here's to the next chapter of your life.

 

Girls weekend

Hayley and I had a girls weekend while the boys went on their annual Truck Pull weekend. I am blessed that we each get to have a weekend set aside each year that we get to spend one on one. This year it was a little different because the boys were only going to be gone over night.

 Hayley and I started our Momma/Daughter time off right...STARBUCKS,

 

getting our hair did,

Chinese with friends for lunch

 and ended with swimming and pizza

Love that Hayley and I can share special times like these together, I know that the days are limited as she gets older and a life of her own.

5th grade basketball game

Today was the 5th grade basketball game against the teachers. I was on bedrest (BOO) and couldn't go, thankful that I have awesome co workers who was constantly texting me and giving me play by play updates! Hated that I had to miss but I decided to miss this so that I can go to graduation tomorrow!!

What a way to start summer..

You know those freak accidents that you hear about and think "how in the world did that happen?" Well, let me tell you, they do happen and YES they are freak accidents. Saturday was proof of that. Brian and I had went out to spray the weeds, we had just finished doing inside the cow pen and was coming back to do the back side of the barn. I wasn't paying attention and stepped right in front of the tractor tire and it ran over the back side of my leg, up to my calf. It hurt like HELL!!!

After dropping to the ground and getting myself in some sort of order, Brian carried me into the house so that I could take off my boot to see the damage and get ice on it. It was pretty swollen and we decided that a trip to Suburban was needed.

 

The swelling wasn't too bad but by the time that we got to the ER is was nasty and huge

 

The verdict at the hospital was that I broke right ankle in 2 different spots. I broke the fibula, the bone that connects your ankle to your leg and the ankle itself. I go big or I go home!!

No driving, walking, standing or weight can be on this foot at all for 8 weeks!!

 


This was taken today at the foot and ankle specialist, still very swollen. After talking to Dr Patel, he decided that I needed to see a trauma orthopedic specialist because I would need plates, pins and screws on both sections. I am waiting to hear back from the specialist to see when this will take place.

Looks like I will have a summer of being confined to the couch/chair with my ice packs. Not the idea of how my summer was going to be spent. I am trying to keep positive and not think of how many more days I have. Its a day by day goal to survive and not kill anyone.

 

Hayley has been quiet the little nurse, helping me with getting ice packs, washing my hair, dressing, meds, drinks, you name it. She thinks its funny that she is the one who has to help take care of me!

God love  Brian, he knows the way to my heart....

my weakness, my love, OREO's

 

 

we shall see how things go, this is about to get real interesting

Lunch with Keegan

This year has been super crazy busy and I finally had a day where I could get to eat lunch with Keegan.

 

Hayley was freaked out by this statue and the fact that the baby was giving her the "UL sign"

 

Patiently waiting for Keegan
