No Pictures!

I never post without pictures.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I DID!

We went to the family day of our reunion this morning at the river and of course my boys wanted to get in. So I take my chair down to the edge of the water. I also have my camera because I never travel without it. I'm sitting in the water and a friend of mine needed some sunscreen for her baby so of course I get up and take her mine. My camera is in my camera bag hanging around my neck when all of a sudden the camera bag flips over and out comes my camera.

####, ****,@@@@! YEA those bad words were running through my head. But I didn't let them slip because of the kiddos.

I'm very lost without it. My SD card still worked. I did get to upload the few pictures I took.

Dayton has his baseball party tonight. Who's gonna remember it without pictures? Not me!

Also Jamie opened his Father's Day gifts when we got home. And Do I have any pictures to show you, of course not.

I'll tell you and you can my up your own picture.

From Braylen a six pack of hershey's chocolate bars. (he picked it out on his own. Said my daddy loves these.)
From Dayton Transformer Movie
From Me a camo game camera with a 2GB SD card.

So there you go a post from me without pictures. :(

Dayton

* Friday morning: We were getting ready for VBS and Dayton and Braylen were in the shower and I was blow drying my hair. Dayton opens the shower door and says mom I dont feel good and he was as white as a ghost. He starts to fall, so I throw my hair dryer and I grab for him. His eyes start to roll back and I begin screaming at him to stay awake and look at me. I carry him to my bed and wrap a towel around him and he grabs for his throat grasping for air. I continue to tell him to look at me and hang in there.

* We finally make it to the livingroom and I grab the telephone and call Jamie. It goes straight to his voice mail so I call the main office and I tell the lady to have him call me NOW! After I hang up the phone I call his cell again and he answers. Meanwhile I'm holding Dayton up against the porch rail. He opens his eyes and says everything is yellow and then he says I have to throw up. He dry heaves a couple times and then he says he's fine and I sit him down in a chair on the porch and he says he wants some water and ice.

* So I tell him to sit very still and wait for me to get his drink. I run in and get his water. Braylen is still in the shower so I run to the bathroom and turn off the shower and I grabbed a towel and I tell Braylen you are going to have to dry off and get dressed fast. Which I dont think he had a clue of what was going on.

* I get back outside and Dayton is still white. 20 mins has gone by before Jamie gets there. He asked me why didnt I call 911 and to me if I would of called 911 then it meant something BAD! I wasnt ready to admit that it was BAD.

*We took him to a clinic in Mena and they were so nice. They got us in ASAP. They ran an ekg and drew all kinds of blood from my lil man but he did really good. His blood sugar was 90 and blood pressure was good. They put a 24hr heart monitor on him. The doc thought maybe his heart or migraine.

*I was so scared. Never in my life do I want to do that again. I couldnt sleep at all Friday night I walked back and forth to his room to make sure he was still breathing. Finally I climbed in bed with him then thought that I was bothering him so I got in the floor and put my hand on his chest to make sure he was breathing then finally after crying my eyes out I carried him to my bed. I fell asleep and didnt even know it stormed. But at least he was right beside me.

* I've been a crazy mom since. I 'm not letting him do anything without me right beside him. I took him fishing Sat evening. Then we went swimming and he did fine. No spells of any sort.

*Just hopeing they find out what caused the fainting. I would love for things to get back to normal. I'm so tired of being scared.

* And of course I had to get pictures of him and the heart monitor.

* Prayers are welcome and thank you!

New Dog!

Our Handy Manny! The boys toilet handle broke so I bought a new one and Braylen decides that he can fix it and I never thought anymore about it when he told me that and the next morning when Dayton goes to the bathroom he said mom you didnt fix the handle. But Braylen did? Dayton said but you might want to bring your camera.

This is what I found! Too funny at least he tried,Right!

The new addition to our family! And most of you know my luck with dogs but This one really needed a home. He was givin to us. The boys named him "Bugzy!" We are not sure how old or anything but he is house broke so that was a big plus. He's also a picky eater. No dog food just table food.

So ugly, he's cute!

Ball Games!

This is Braylen and I at his T-Ball game at Smithville. I wish I took my camera on the field because when he hit the ball he ran so fast and looked so darn cute!

Jamie played in a co-ed softball tourney 5-30-09. He was the pitcher. He did really good but not good enough to win it all. They won one game. But we were there all day.

Dayton hanging out in the dug out with the big people! Wishing he could play!



Braylen and I soaking up the sun! We tanned that day and poor Dayton just burnt..He takes after his dad; a white boy!

This is Braylen and his dad showing us some stunt moves... no wonder my kids always get hurt when they are left with their dad....which I quit doing after he lost my baby at a ball game. Now thats a whole other story.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO LATELY!

FIELD DAY @School 2009!

This is 1 of the events Dayton was in.

Tug-of-war!

His team lost!

Below is pictures of Braylen winning a new bike at field day.

His name got put in the jar because he walked 5miles during a certain period of time.

Both my boys walked 40 miles total. Way to go boys!

The school nurse was over the event and let the 2 people who won the bikes meet her at wolly world to choose a bike.

* To be continued.....

It was a very long day of ball games. But I wouldnt change it.

The New Bike!

This is the day after he won the bike. He was so excited. We went to the park so that he could ride it. Our yard is not flat so no place for him to learn to ride. But after a couple times around the ball court he was a pro!

Of course Dayton had to bring his bike along!

They both were rockin their sunglasses.

Preschool Field Trip 2009!

This was the end of year field trip for preschool. They went to the wickes visitors center. They got to see animal furs, eat a sack lunch, play at the park and go on a hike. They all had a blast!

This is Braylen playing the quiet game before getting on the bus!

They ranger brought out a snake and told the kids not to touch but guess who did?

Yep, Braylen did. He's not afraid of anything. Which really scares me.

This was on the play ground. Not sure what they call this thing but all the kids loved it.

This is on the bus!

And the group picture of Ms.Stacy's class.

And yes Braylen was mad because I got on to him for throwing rocks.

They had a wonderful time.

Babysitting!

I babysat Friday night for my sister-n-law.

Laycee is almost 2 months old.

On Friday night I had 5 kiddos.

That includes all 3 boys of mine and Megan and Laycee.

We went to the graduation at Dierks and then back home.

Megan is never any problem so I just knew that is was gonna be a good weekend.

Until we got to Grannis and Megan says "I'm gonna throw up on myself."

So I pull over and nothing so we head on home.

Laycee has slept all this time and now that it's 10pm she's not ready to sleep.

Finally I get her to sleep and Megan comes and wakes me up to tell that she threw up every where.

So I get that cleaned up and guess who is up again Laycee because she didn't feel me beside her.

*Note her mom holds her all the time so Laycee thinks that you have to be right beside her or holding her all the time.

Okay everything is quiet again and Megan is back to sleep and Laycee finally doses back off.

Oh yeah I hate her pacifier because she couldn't keep it in her mouth because its one of those straight nipple ones that the dentist recommends. grrrr.

So anyways every one is asleep again and then around 2am Megan is back telling me that she has wet the bed this time.

Okay I'll clean it up and you go change again.GRRRRR.

Laycee thank goodness doesn't wake up this time.

Megan is now in a clean bed again.

Around 4 am Laycee wants bottle.

Double GRRRR.

At 6:45 am Kevin is knocking on the door to pick up Gavin....Lovely!

I have not had a wink of sleep!

So after Gavin left I just stayed up.

Victors calls around 8am and comes over around 10am to visit with Megan.

Braylen wakes up and is mad because someone forgot to flush the toilet...so I go flush it and there is poop every where. It was from Megan she had Diarrhea instead of wetting the bed. So nasty!

I thought that that day would never end.

Night #2 Much better I gave Laycee a nice warm bath and bottle around 9 pm and she slept till 4am Wow!

But then the next day I couldn't do anything because she still wanted me to hold her.

So glad the boys are at the age they are now. Ahhhh!

But the pictures below show nothing about the tiring weekend I had.

I got all Happy pictures.

Sitting on the porch and she loved it!

Dayton and Laycee!

Megan My pucker and pooper for the weekend!

What a smile!

Braylen and Laycee!

At 1st she wasn't happy...Then she just laid there!

She loved it outside!

Memorial Day 2009!

The boys and I rode the 4 wheeler around while Jamie cleaned around the yard.


We stopped at a bridge and I just had to take their picture!

Then at the railroad tracks!



Then Jamie's Uncle Dwight called and invited us over for lunch.
Of course I couldn't resist this pose!

And Dayton all of a sudden wanted to be a Rancher or Farmer what ever they are called and walked out into their pasture with the cows! He fed them so scraps from lunch.... and the cow munched on his hand, It didn't leave a mark but he said Mom that cows tongue is ruff.

We had a great day!
