the last few weeks have kicked my butt

I’m still here. Just not sure where to start or what to say. Not very many good things have been going on, so I’ve found myself a bit speechless around here. I don’t think my blog has been this quiet in a loooooong time. Especially with so much going on at home. But to say the events of the last few weeks have kicked my butt would not quite cut it. I think it caught up with me……I managed to have a nice little pinched nerve in my back. My bodies way of saying slow down, enough already. Thank God my mom was here to help me. And Jase. And the kids. I didn’t know exactly how much I needed […]

home from the ER, once again.

This has been a horrible, horrible week for our family. Earlier this week Teagan was rushed to the ER for breathing issues (full story in my post below). We’ve been struggling to keep Taryn well enough to have surgery next week. It was just supposed to be to have her tonsils and adenoids removed but through the entire nightmare that is surgery pre-op workups, blood work, audiology exams, cultures, etc., we found out the surgery will be more extensive that we initially hoped. Her ENT said this is one of the worst cases she’s seen in a very long time, her adenoids are so huge they are all but blocking off the area behind her nose. Her tonsils are almost […]

I just wanted to post really quick to say I haven’t totally disappeared. If you’ve emailed me or called and haven’t gotten a reply, I will get back to you. Everything went crazy when Taryn & Teagan started to not feel very well. I went in to check on Teagan around 10:30 pm last night and his breathing sounded off. We tried to move him to his side to see if that helped but it just woke him up and he started with a coughing fit. We both quickly realized that he sounded really bad and decided to put him in our room for the night. At 1 am he woke in a panic, wheezing, unable to catch his breath. […]

random and truthful musings from the mom of a middle schooler

Ty started Middle School today. Yeah, 6th grade.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??!!

No. Seriously. I need an answer because just the other day he was 4 and thought I hung the moon AND the stars. Somewhere in between I went from a sweet “mommy” to “mawwm”….drawn out, exasperated with a tint of “oh no, please don’t embarrass me in this moment”.

Here he is on the way out the door. Totally not posed, he just always seems to have a book in his hand, especially when heading out to the car!

Looking at this photo just now, totally reminded me of this. It’s still funny two years later.

Middle School is big. Both literally […]

just one this morning of sweet baby jack. he got all dressed up for the tea party last night too.

Can you believe he’s 6 weeks old already?! His little comb over hair totally cracks me up. And this reminds me that I never came back and shared more of his newborn photos before we left for vacation! I will do that this week!! I have a ton to share!

The kids really had so much fun last night, between the tea party, exploring the beautiful park, chattering on about castles and princesses, spotting peacocks and running from pond to pond looking for fish and turtles, they were on cloud 9. It […]

was spent laying low. after yesterday, it was a must. and it was nice. we did celebrate by Jase taking Ty and his best friend out to Austin Park & Pizza, then home to a movie and sleepover. perfect way to end the summer. they had a blast and it was nice to have a somewhat quiet night with Teagan and Taryn. Teagan went to sleep at the normal time and then I let Taryn stay up late. we made a cake in honor of her new favorite color….it will make an appearance tomorrow. until then, I leave you with this, my little man during his bath tonight….

he […]
