Theft and Tea

I know I can't keep my kids world perfect but it would be so nice. Earlier this week I took mcKayla's competition uniform out of my purse and sat on my desk at work. She knows to get off the bus and come to my room and change. I passed out some papers to my kids and the bell rang. I went back to my desk and her suit was gone. My friend came over to help me look but it was gone. mckayla was in tears b/c she has to have that for gym. I turned it into our school crime stoppers. The next day I made my class feel horrible for hurting an Innocent 5 yr old girl. mckayla just couldn't understand why someone would take something that does not belong to them. We talked about how God doesn't like that and how wrong it was. She let several people know how wrong stealing was. Today her suit was found and we have it narrowed down to a couple of kids. There were so many kids who were irate about this. They came up to me (from every grade level) and asked who would steal from me b/c I am so nice. I am glad there are still good kids out there.

On a happier note today was the mother's day tea at her school. we had a nice time. She gave me a flower and wrote this story about me. Some parts are kind of out there but I love it!!!!

My Mother

My mom is nice. her hair is blonde. her eyes are green. She is 30 yrs old, 13 in tall, and 17 lbs. She loves to eat tacos. She cooks cake really well. She is happy when we go to red River. I know she gets angry when my sister gets in trouble. She is absolutely crazy about going to see my grandma and grandpa. her favorite animal is our dog. her favorite TV show is American Idol. My mom knows alot about Science. If she had one wish she'd wish for a cat. I love my mom b/c she loves me. I know she loves me b/c she is always nice!!!

Daddy's B-day

My girls love it when it is some one's birthday. Today was Scott's. The girls were so excited to get up this morning and give him his gifts. We went to church and after we took him to eat at Red Lobster and did some shopping in Amarillo. It was a nice day just being w/ him!! We also now have a riding mower and he was thrilled about that. He got the front mowed and enjoyed it!!! I enjoy it b/c now he can do it and I don't have to. here is a pic of the girls on it!!!

TBall Gone Wild

Tonight was the first tball game. It was so cute and so funny. Most of the kids had no idea what to do. Mckayla hit her ball every time but she forgot to run. We were all screaming run. Then she didn't know when to run to second and so forth but most of them didn't. But the girl can hit!!!! They got snow cones when it was over so she was thrilled about that. It so nice out there. We really enjoyed it. My parents came. I guess they don't keep score so everyone was a winner!!!

Posing in her Braves uniform. randi being sweet again!!!

up to bat!!! the only lefty :) hit down to second base!!!!

1st soccer game

McKayla had her first soccer game. They lost the first game but mcKayla scored the only goal for her team. She got really aggressive and pushed a girl down. We have never seen that side of her w/ other kids. The second game they won and she scored 3 goals!!! We were so proud of her. My mom cracked us up because she really got into it. i think she misses going to games. My brother did baseball and football. He even did soccer for a while. The first t ball game is Tues. Should be interesting. I think McKayla will shine more in soccer. My camera was acting up. I only have a couple of pics from the game. Anyone who sees my husband express to him I would really like a new camera. This is the one:

Nikon - Coolpix 10.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black best buy has it. Mother's day is coming~~

McKayla chasing the ball. Very good offensive player. We will be working on defense.

Randi being sweet and cheering her sister on!!!!!

I am still working on the Easter dress pictures but here is one of what the Easter bunny brought. They are huge ICarly fans. They each received an ICarly shirt and Carly hobo purse.

I didn't get a picture of this but after dinner they went to get a prize and started fighting over the Cheerios. It was a new big box I had just opened. Well 2 people pulling on it and you can imagine what happened. Yes Cheerios all over my nice clean kitchen floor. I made them clean it up. There were many tears and fights but it took them 1 solid hour and they had it all cleaned up. Hopefully they learned a lesson. They had to take and bath and go to bed right after.

Egg fun

We did our annual tradition of dying eggs w/ the Ford girls'. Every year my friend Dana has brought her 2 girls over and we color eggs w/ them. We set a record this year. We had about 50 eggs. Don't ask why I really don't know. They don't get to much into the decorating they just enjoy being w/ each other. They are all a year apart in school. We had several eggs break. Mostly Mckayla. Oh well it's part of it I guess.

Clorox wipes get the stains of fhands and then a really good hand scrubbing w/ soap to get the clorox off :) Happy Easter!!!!

Blessed

Today was Mckayla's egg hunt at school. They went to the park and found 6 eggs each and had snacks, then played. I decided I was not going to miss this so I went against my better judgement. I did survive but am paying now but it was worth it to see her.

here are my girls and mcKayla's BFF. I am so blessed to have them. I am also so blessed to have a wonderful husband who has taken such good care of me this week in the evenings. My mom has been here every day to help me and my dear friend dana came last night to help. Scott and I are also blessed to have his grandparents who took care of randi while I was in the hospital Mon. She had such a wonderful time w/ them. Thank you all for caring so much for us!!! Love to all!!!

McKayla's soccer game was cancelled due to the wind yesterday. She cried. I can honestly say I was not to upset since the wind was blowing 60+. I thought I would post a pic of our pre Easter dresses pictures. Mom and I found these dresses and thought they were so cute. This is the first year that our Easter dresses will not match and I let the girls pick their own. Mckayla went to the big girl section. it was so sad. Pics will come next week of those.

Here is the first t ball lesson from daddy. mckayla did pretty good but Randi is the powerhouse hitter. Those of yo uwho really know her pretty well probably aren't surprised.

I can explain the outfit. She had gymnastic, then off to soccer w/ her pinks sweats and a top w/ the gym suit under.

The powerhouse hitter :)
