My oldest child is boy crazy. Let me back up. The girls (Maddie and Hana) are over the whole Playhouse Disney cartoons and now are into watching the big kid shows, like Corey in the House, Ravin, Suite life of Zack and Cody, and so on. They love High School Musical and the Disney movies. So, I found out that this week at Wild World of Sports at Disney, they are filming a show for the summer called Disney Games...like a field day with all the actors from all the shows, competing each other in various things. We took the girls last night to watch a little of it. Being a tv show, there is a lot of down time. We saw some of the kids in the field, but then, after an hour of waiting, they did the dunk tank. Kyle Massey, from Ravin and Corey in the House, got up and the girls screamed in excitement. It was funny cause I was laughing at all the boy crazy girls and then thought, not much longer and that is my kids. He waved to the girls, got dunked, they laughed like crazy. Lots of others got up and they cheered and waived to them. They were so excited to see the REAL people. They were a little upset cause Hannah Montana (Mylie Cyrus) was sick and was not there, but the whole rest of the cast of the show was. We went over to a part in the stands where the kids kept going and giving autographs. They saw the Cheetah Girls, and just could not believe it was them!!! Brenda Song was there, some other kids that I dont know the real names. One girl from one of the shows finally gave the girls her autograph and Maddie reached out and gave her a big hug. She was so happy! The only disappointment was for Hana, she didnt see Corbin Bleu...one of the stars of High School Musical. She talks about him non stop. And, he wasnt there. :( So, watch Disney Games this summer, we were right behind the dunk tank and the girls got in lots of the shots!!!

Long night

Yesterday all of us came down with a bad cold...lots of coughing and stuffy noses. But, of course, Maddie always gets it the worst. I put her to bed at 8, she told me she was tired and wanted to go to bed. I was snuggling her and she said, get out, I am sleepy! For her to say that to me is strange, since she is always begging to be in my bed. Anyway, I worked out for about 45 minutes, took a shower, did my nails, sat on the couch to watch some tv and about 10:30 I heard a small cry. I went to her room and she was sitting up in bed crying. I picked her up and she was on fire. 103 temp...then she started coughing harder and crying harder and I knew what that meant...so I ran her to the bathroom and sat by the toilet where she continued to vomit. Poor baby...always happens when she gets too upset. After cleaning her up, we put a wet cloth on her head, pulled out the sofa sleeper and went to bed....I gave her some motrin a little while later...all night was tossing and turning and crying cause her head hurt...finally at about 5am, it broke and she fell asleep till 8 this morning...slept through all the noise of Bryan going to work and Chloe up at 6:30...and she is fine now. She is currently in her room playing dress up and being herself. I made an appt with her doctor for tomorrow just in case the same thing happens tonight...dont want to take chances with the weekend coming....its always something!!!

Our neighbors

We have some interesting neighbors. There are longhorns... ...and donkeys....

...a watussi, which in not even a year old yet...and some ponies and a water buffalo...dont have pics of those! Every day we have to go over to the fence and feed them our weeds and whatever left-over carrots and apples we have. If we dont, the ponies will stick thier hoofs through the fence, the watussi will moo at us and the donkeys will make the funniest noises. It is good for the girls, they are begining to enjoy the outdoors, finally. So, come meet our neighbors, everyone is welcome!

Before and after (well, after and before!!)

We have one room done...the living room. And, its not really done. We need window treatments and need to hang some family pics...we need to get a rug...the tv looks extra small where it is, not a priority for me...but its more done than the other rooms!!!

ANN-A-VER-SA-RIES

Lisa, do you remember that commercial? Something about a guy talking about special events and the girl was in the background trying to remind him about one specific special day...ok, whatever... So, yes, today is our anniversary...6 whole years...date night was supposed to be tonight but may have to be cancelle. Chloe has had a fever for a few days and got her in to the doctor...she has strep...not fun. I just hope none of the other girls get it...or worse, Bryan. I think he is worse when he is sick than the kids are!!! EDIT: So we did go out...to a wonderful place called Texas de Brazil....wonderful all you can eat steakhouse, about 20 different kinds of meat coming around on skewers to your table, a little pricey, but totally worth it!!!

Hanging out

Hana and Maddisonwanted to take some pictures...They did pretty good!
