Sadie's

Janers asked Coopy to Sadie's this week.
Fun ridiculous fact: They can't actually go to the dance. Janers goes to a different high school and that high school does not allow kids from other schools to go to their dances.
I have a lot I want to say, but will find my filter...


Note:
My Cooper is #9 in the region out of all defensive linemen!!

Crazy Hair Day

Beautiful Kehlani.
Yesterday was crazy hair day at school.
Of course, Isis made sure she was ready for it!

Kehlani is just the absolute sweetest, most compassionate little sweet pea.
She is the kindest big sister, the biggest helper, always giving so much love.
We are SO blessed to be her papa and gigi!!

Coloring with Jane

I got two new coloring books last week.
They are naughty-worded coloring books.
Unfortunately for the moral part of me, I really like the flowers in the books.
So, I began coloring.
Cooper told me that Janers had bought herself some markers.
She came right over and we colored!
And colored.
And colored.
Focus on the flowers, Jane. Focus on the flowers!

Last night, the boys were at their mom's house.
I was glad about that.
They haven't spent time with her for a while.
Whilst at her house, I started getting texts from Coopy.

Tigger and Piglet all day everyday, Coopy!!


After this text, he called me. 
"What size am I?"
"What size am I in a onesie?"
"What size should she get me?"

I hope they never stop calling and texting me to get all the important answers.

Logan Visits!

Logan was here for a minute.
A literal minute.
We were able to love on him for that minute and I am so grateful!
It's been years.

He got to meet four of our grand babies and was overwhelmed by all of the movement and noise!
We laughed, told stories, ate yummy food, and loved on him some more.



Brandon, and his wife Carrie, were there with their two boys - Asher and Anson.



I got some amazing snuggles!!
Melanie didn't feel good and loved on Gigi before she wanted Papa.



Then Delilah fell asleep on Gigi!
Miracles!
And my big youngest boy loved on me, too.



Sweet Diana has just a couple more days!



So fun!

The End.

These boys.
The coaches.
Once again, a football family formed.
The season, and Ryker's little league football journey, came to an end on Saturday.
They lost in their semi-final game.

My heart did break for them.
Ryker has gotten SO MUCH better this year under the teachings of new coaches.
The team got so much better as the season went on.
I love these kiddos.
I'm sad for them.


Next year, most of them will be on the high school frosh team.

Pooped

This mama had my every three years colonoscopy yesterday.
This one was ROUGH.
I didn't eat any solid food since Monday.
The bucket of flush ick started Wednesday night.
Finished it yesterday morning.
Burke took me to the surgical center with my Diet Coke and pebble ice ready for after the procedure.

I had a great nap.
Woke up nauseous.
Ate some Kneaders.
Went home.
Took another nap.
Woke up nauseous again.

Watched football.
Nauseous.
Went to bed.
Woke up nauseous.
Sitting at work.
Nauseous.

The good news: don't have to go back for FIVE years!
Also, I love Burke.
The end.

W

These turds won their quarter finals game on Saturday.
It was a GREAT win.
I have to be honest...
I was feeling like a loss would be just fine.
I obviously haven't told my kid that, but...
Once the game started and I saw the heart in these 17 kids of mine, I wanted a W for them so badly.
They played hard.
I was so proud of them.
Their heart was in it and mine about burst when they won!!!

Onto the semi-finals this Saturday!
