MIKENNY IS STAYING HOME

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DIDN'T KNOW THIS..

MIKENNY WAS GOING TO GO TO KINDERGARDEN THIS YEAR AND REPEAT IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR BECAUSE OF HIS AGE!

I NEEDED TO STOP INTO THE KINGSTON ELEMENTARY, TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ABOUT MIKENNY'S EVALUATION.

HE DID NOT DO VERY WELL AT ALL!!!!

AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CHOICE OF HIM REPEATING KINDERGARDEN IF HE DID WELL ENOUGH AND THE SCHOOL WAS TO ITS LIMIT OF CHILDREN THAT COULD BE HELD BACK!

SO LONG STORY SHORT

WE DECIDED TO NOT SEND HIM AT ALL THIS YEAR

WITH THIS DESICION I WAS GIVEN A GENEROUS OFFER FROM A TEACHER OVER AT THE SCHOOL TO HELP ME DEVELOPE A EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET MIKENNY AHEAD AND READY FOR KINDERGARDEN NEXT YEAR!

I AM EXCITED TO PLAY SCHOOL WITH ALL THREE OF MY BOYS AND GET THEN ALL READY!

MIKENNY SEEMED FIND WITH THE IDEA!

JASTYNN JOE IS LOOKING LIKE HE IS GOING TO BE A LEFTY

YUMMY CAKE AND ICE CREAM
TOTALLY USING HIS LEFT HAND

JASTYNN IS DEFINATLY BEING MY UNIQUE LITTLE ONE

FIRST ALLERGIC TO PINICILLAN -- NOW BEING LEFT HANDED!

WHAT'S NEXT JASTYNN?

MY GIRL DID FINALLY COME HOME

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DIDN'T KNOW ARYSSA ANN WAS VISITING FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN MICHIGAN FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS!

SHE FINALLY CAME HOME ON JULY 16TH.

LOOK @ HER SHE IS ALL GROWN UP!

SPIDER

DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLUE WHAT KIND OF SPIDER THIS IS??

OK HERE IS A CREEPY BLOG

IF YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT ME THEN YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THIS PICTURE MY SELF ALONG WITH A FEW OTHERS!

I HAVE A CASE OF ARACHNIAPHOBIA

IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER OVER THE YEARS.

BUT ON 07-24-08 I NEEDED TO GO IN THE CRAWL SPACE TO FLIP THE CIRCUIT BREAKER!

THIS LOVELY LITTLE SPIDER RAN ACROSS THE GROUND AND UP ON THE WALL!

SMALL -- NOT THIS THING -- IT WAS HALF THE SIZE OF A TARANTULA!!!!

AND THAT IS NOT A JOKE!

IT GAVE ME A MAJOR ANXIETY ATTACK!!!!!

I WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF BREATH

I WENT IN THE HOUSE AND GOT THE CAMERA

NEEDLESS TO SAY I DID NOT GET THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FLIPPED ON

TERRY HAD TO DO IT WHEN HE GOT HOME AND HE KILLED IT FOR ME!

THANK YOU HUNNY!

MIKENNY AND HIS SECOND SURGERY!

MIKENNY MATTHEW HAD SURGERY AGAIN ON JULY 17TH 2008. THIS SURGERY WAS FOR A HERNIA IN GROIN AREA! HIS LAST SURGERY (MARCH 26TH, 2008) WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE BUT WAS TO REPAIR WHAT THEY CALL A HYDROCELLE (A FLUID FILL SAC) ( IT TURNED OUT TO BE BOTH A HERNIA AND A HYDROCELLE THIS TIME!!! WE ARRIVED @ THE HOSPITAL @ 10:30AM AND WE ENDED UP GETTING PUT ON HOLD FOR SURGERY UNTIL 4:30PM! IT WAS A VERY LONG DAY AND POOR MIKENNY HAD TO BE WITH OUT FOOD AND DRINK ALL THAT TIME! HE IS TRULY A TROOPER IN MY BOOK. HE ONLY ASKED TO EAT AND DRINK A FEW TIMES-BUT IN OUR SLIDE SHOW YOU CAN SEE THAT WE PLAYED GAMES AND OTHER THING TO MAKE THE TIME GO BY FASTER! ALTHOUGH FAST IS NOT WHAT I EXPLAIN FOR THE DAY! NOW FOR SURGERY THAT WAS FAST ONLY 30-40 MINUTES AND HE WAS IN RECOVERY AND HE CAME TO SEE US AGAIN IN HIS ROOM RATHER QUICKLY! NOW ONLY 2 DAYS SENSE SURGERY AND HE ACTS AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED! SUPERMAN!! ITS CRAZY HOW EASY KIDS DO TRULY BOUNCE BACK! NO POOL FOR 2 WEEKS AND HE WILL BE ALL HEALED UP AND READY FOR SCHOOL IN AUGUST AND READY TO PLAY UPWARD SOCCER WITH OUR CHURCH THIS FALL!!

YEAH I WILL OFFICIALLY BE A SOCCER MOM! I WILL HAVE TO PUT THAT ON MY VAN!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PRAYED FOR MIKENNY AND OUR FAMILY!

THIS WHEN JASTYNN HAD A ROUGH COUPLE OF DAYS

THIS PICTURE WAS THE DAY BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY JASYNN HAD GOTTEN 25 BUG BITES WHILE OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE FOR 15-20 MINUTES AND ONE OF THEM WAS NEAR HIS EYE

THIS PICTURE WAS OF A SCRAPE JASTYNN GOT ON HIS HAIR LINE--HE WAS BEING A BIG BOY @ THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE COLLECTING CANDY WITH THE BIG BROTHERS
AS HE WENT UP ON THE SIDE WALK TO PUT HIS HANDFULLS OF CANDY IN MY LAWN CHAIR--HE THEN WENT TO TO STEP OFF THE CURB TO GET MORE CANDY AN HE FELL FACE FIRST ON THE ROAD IN KINGSTON
