Pressing On

Tomorrow Morning is all about Landry's Legacy! The weather has been absolutely perfect the last few days and I think tomorrow will be perfect again so it will make for a nice day to walk or run. I have felt humbled all day by everyone who is joining us at the event tomorrow, and or who donated to Landry's Legacy. I received two donations today from such special friends that it brought me to tears. This is all because of a special little boy and I am beyond thankful to be Landry's Mommy.
Landry is loved and remembered by so many people and that makes my heart beam with pride. I know the word thank you is not enough for what everyone has done and continues to do for us, but we are so thankful for each and every one of you.
On the home front Ty is doing so much better today. I think the antibiotics are doing there job. We stayed home all day so we could rest up and feel better, but we did get out for a walk and bike ride and it felt good to get out of the house for a little bit. I am still praying that the "Strep" stays away from the rest of us... it is no fun at all. :( However, I am pleased that Ty is doing better and the plan is for him to be at the race tomorrow. He has a few friends doing the fun run so I know he wants to be there with them.
We love you, Landry James! Tomorrow we remember and honor your amazing Legacy!!




Philippians 3: 12-14
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brother's I do not consider yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
This verse has always held a special place in my heart because this is my brothers, verse.

Not In The Plans

Our Spring Break is winding down and it looks like we will be spending our last couple of days before we get back to our "School" routine nursing Tyler back to health.
This Morning Ty woke up with a low grade fever so I gave him some Tylenol and he seemed to be getting better, however with in a couple of hours Ty seemed to be getting worse. Very lethargic, would not eat anything, and even fell asleep watching TV on the Sofa... Ty does no nap so that is when I know something is up. I asked him what was hurting him and he said his throat, but then he heard me mention going to the Doctor and all of the sudden he said his throat did not hurt.... stinker. :)
Well I made a appointment with our Pediatrician and it is a good thing I did because Ty has Step Throat. When he came home from the Doctor he already looked a little better. So thankful Ryan was home so he could take him to the Doctor, and he even surprised Tyler with a trip to Target for some Lego's because he did so well for the Doctor. We are now on a antibiotic and I am washing my hands and praying like crazy that the rest of us don't get it, especially Georgia Kate. I have been so obsessed with washing my hands since having Georgia Kate that my hands become some dry and cracked that they will sometimes bleed... that is where lotion comes in to play. :)
Today was Ty's last day at Soccer Camp and it is also Ryan's Birthday! So today is not how we had planned it to be, but sometimes taking a break is what we need and what ever will make Ty feel better I will do.
Happy, Happy Birthday Ryan! We love you so much and appreciate all you do for us.

Mine

This little girl is still in love with her baby and determined to reach it. I adore this pinkalicious girl!!

I am with out a camera so thankfully I have a few pictures that I have yet to post. We are still having a very nice week. Tyler went back for his second day of Soccer Camp and he really is having so much fun. I am do thankful that this camp has been a fun and positive time for Ty. I will try and snag my parents camera so I can snap some pictures of Ty at camp.

Ryan and I have both been trying to keep up with our work out routine this week. However, I missed my class this morning because we were having breakfast at McDonald's... Ty has been begging for a hash brown from there, so this morning we had a fun breakfast outing, and Ty even called and invited Ghee and Poppy. So, tonight I hit Zumba for the first time and it was so much fun! So thankful for Spring Break and a change in routine.

Weekend

Our Weekend did not go as planned due to rain, but sometimes the greatest plans are those that you did not plan. We got the news Friday afternoon that our Kids In The Kitchen and the 5/10 K St. Patrick's day race (Landry's Legacy event) was going to be canceled. Ty's Soccer game was canceled as well so we had a free weekend.
The good news is they rescheduled for this weekend, March 17. I felt horrible for our KITK Chairs they have worked so hard on this event, and we had a a very productive work day on Thursday so they were all ready. Thankfully, we get to try again on Saturday Morning.
Since Ty did not have a Soccer game, Ghee and Poppy invited Ty to spend the night and he was so excited. We asked him if he wanted to Georgia Kate to stay, but he said no. I think it is important for Ty to have some one on one time now that GK is here and that is what he got on Friday. Our house was so quiet with out Ty home on Friday and we were all ready to go and get him Saturday Morning.
Saturday we decided to brave the pouring rain and take Ty to see The Lorax. Ghee and Poppy kept Georgia Kate so we could have a special outing with Tyler, and it was so fun to soak in some special time with our biggest. I am thankful for all the special one on one time Tyler got over the weekend.
On Sunday we decided to have our Supper Club over for a Family fun day and the sun came out just in time and it was a beautiful day and we all loved sitting outside enjoying a beautiful Sunday watching all the kids run and play.
I think our weekend was a great start to Spring Break. Today was another beautiful day and the first day of Soccer Camp for Tyler. He has 3 friends at camp with him so he was having a great time and can't wait to get back tomorrow. I truly love Spring Break and I hope it is a wonderful week filled with some special family time.

Cowboy Day

Last Friday was Cowboy Day at Ty's school. All of the kids got to dress up and take part in some fun Cowboy activities. The school yard was full of lots of animals and activities fit for any cowboy or cowgirl. It was such a fun morning and I was so thankful to be there to take pictures and see Tyler smile from ear to ear.

Getting ready to rope the Steer.

Carriage Ride.

Digging for gold (pennies).

Ty loved this little pig, He kept saying how cute he was.

Tyler and his best friend, Will. These two do everything together at school. You know the story of Ty and his yellow card, well Will got one the same day. :) So thankful for all of the sweet friends in Tyler's class and at his school. Of course Tyler does not seem too excited in this picture. He was still pouting from when his Teacher broke up the class and Will got put in a different group. Ty was not happy at all....

Game Day

Last Saturday was Tyler's first Soccer game of the Season. The weather was a chilly but the kids had a great time and I love that our Saturdays are going to be filled with Soccer. Tyler is number 8 again, so you can spot our little athlete hustling. :) I promise this is the last Soccer post for a while.
We were scheduled to have practice tonight, but it is rainy here today so we cancelled. There is also a chance for rain this weekend so we will see if we get to play on Saturday. This rainy weather has been kind of nice because it forces us to stay home, which is very nice to do some days.

Going in for a GOAL!

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice, Practice, Practice.

We held two practices last week, and that was a lot. Thankfully, we will just have practice every Thursday evening. I am so happy with the day change because Tuesday are usually Junior League nights for me, and it is hard to do both when Ryan is the Coach. Ryan will have to miss one Thursday practice a month due to Board Meetings but thankfully we have other parents willing to help. My friend, Jen makes a great Coach. :)

We have a few returning members and several new faces. Tyler has loved seeing his friend Luke again and me and Georgia Kate have loved seeing Luke's Mom, Jen. Our schedules are so different this year that we have had a hard time getting together, but with Soccer we will see each other twice a week for sure. Georgia Kate got some special time with Jen last Tuesday at practice. We are all set for a fun Season.
