Proud mom!

We had the boys birthday party on Friday night. It was the night of the BLIZZARD. We had planned to go to Clovis to a movie and out to eat, but when the wind and snow came down, we quickly aborted that idea. Todd went to our local lumber store and bought supplies for all the boys to make their own "marshmellow shooter" AKA nerf bullet shooter. I think the boys shot them for 11 hours straight before Todd took them away at 2 am so they could get a little sleep. I do not think they even slept at that time. We have over 300 nerf bullets in the house from all of the various guns over the years. At one point, I was sitting in my chair being used as a shield. I had my newly bought "Twilight" DVD case as a shield from the hundreds of bullets flying through the house. After a few boys got hit in the eye, they all began wearing protective goggles. Big lesson learned. I think all the boys had a super time and they were very tired on Saturday!



I tried to get the bullets in mid air and got three! One of these bullets got stuck in the light fixture of the fan!
While Kamron and Tyler had their sleep over, Addyson got to go to a sleep over too. They made tie-dye shirts and played with Katelyn's little puppies. Addyson had a blast! She wanted to come home with a puppy, but mommy said said "No" on that one. She did wake up this morning saying she dreamt about the puppies. She is still trying to get one!



Kamron sang at church this morning. He was so nervous this morning. The last time he sang he wasn't nervous at all, but today was a little different. Todd went up with him and he sang the song, with tears in his eyes. He had 1/2 the congregation in tears when it was all over and a standing ovation! I was proud! I videoed while he was singing and this picture is of our wonderful pastor talking to him after he sang.
After church today, both sets of grandparents were here and we had a great lunch and the boys got to open presents from Nana and Grandear and Memaw and Papaw.

The boys got really neat Star Wars kites from my mom and dad and some much needed summer clothes. The boys got money from Nana and Grandear and were THRILLED!! Uncle Dain and aunt Chrissy sent them a new Wii game. They have played it non stop! Thanks again, they loved it!

Here is my hair over my birthday, see my new video camera! The boys have been dying for me to show my new hair. So here is the before picture:

And me as a blonde!! My idea of light highlights and my hairdresser's idea of light highlights was a little different. It is growing on me and mom told me today that it makes me look younger, so that is always a plus! LOL

Miss Addyson, I took her to the Dr this past Thursday in a little panic. On Wed when I got her out of the bath I noticed her entire lower half of her body was crooked. Horrifyingly crooked. It was so noticeable I could not believe that I had never noticed it before. Todd became extremely worried and I called first thing Thursday and got her in that afternoon. I really thought she had scolosis. Even though her back was straight, that was all I could think of. Well, it is not scolosis. Her right leg is 2 1/2 cm shorter than her left leg. It is about an inch. Who knows why, but of all the things that it could of been, we will take this. We see the Pediatric orthapedic doctor on Thursday April 9th as we head to Dallas for Easter. Keep our little princess in your prayers that this will indeed be "nothing" or as close to nothing as possible!

9 more weeks of school! We are counting down the days. (60 including weekends, 41 actual school days!) We are ready for summer. Everyone has spring fever!!!
