Another baseball game!

Here are some more pictures from Riley's baseball game last night!


YAY! He got an RBI.

One of Riley's biggest fan!
He gets bored out there.
I just love this picture, sorry that it's blurry, but when I seen what he was doing I just picked the camera up and shot. I had borrowed my cousins camera since my broke and my new one is one backorder, so I took it to his game to figure her Nikon out, it's not much different than my Canon, but I wanted to shoot some with it before I went to do my shoot this weekend.
Yes, he hit it again, and not off the t!

Hayden's Surgery

This morning Hayden had an upper EGD performed. He is now acting like nothing even happened. He did just get up from an extremely long nap. Dr. Cleavus said that his esophagus and stomach looked great, no signs of acid reflux. She did tell us that his test results came back positive for the cow's milk, peanuts, corn and wheat allergies. Which basically includes everything you could possible eat. As most everybody knows when Hayden was about 6 mths old we found out that he was highly allergic to milk, and eventually out grew it by the time he was 1 1/2. He loves milk and drinks tons of it daily, So Craig and I both didn't know how to react to the news, and the DR. was of no help, she just told us to come back in two weeks for his biopsy reports. Needless to say, we are not impressed with this dr! So as on our way home, I call Dr. Schlactus, Hayden's allergist, and told the nurses what we had been told, so we have to be in his office, first thing in the morning.

The surgery went well. While we were talking to the anesthesiologist before surgery, we told her about how Hayden reacted when he woke up from his surgery for his tubes. She told us that the happy juice that they give them to calm them down so they don't freak out when they leave us on the way to the operating room, sometimes would cause the wake up reactions alot worse. So we decided not to give him the happy juice. So I was afraid that he would cry when we had to leave, and he didn't even get a little upset, the anesthesiologist even came into the waiting room to tell us how well he was acting after he left us, not even a watery eye. Sure enough, when they wheeled him back to this room, he was calm and quiet, unlike all the other kids we had been hearing all morning. He is such a trooper! He was asking the nurse to take out his boo-boo cause he wanted to go home, he was ready. So we still don't know why he is having the spells that he has been having, I just hope that we find out soon.

I want to thank everyone who keep us in their thoughts and prayers.

Please Pray!

We want everybody to pray for my lil Hayden. He has his surgery in the morning. We have to be a Children's Hospital at 7:15 for admitting. So hopefully he will still be asleep, cause he can't eat or drink ANYTHING after midnight tonight. Let's just pray that everything goes well and good news as a result!

Riley's First Baseball Game!

Well, last night Riley had his first baseball game. I hate to admit it but my camera was dead, I was able to get it turned on to take a couple pictures. I was actually on my way to Children's Hospital to take Hayden to the dr, when I found out, the Coach had tried to contact us, but with me being out of town and Craig's work schedule, Riley had missed practice on Thursday, so it was our fault not the coach's. Riley does really well, for his age, I am not saying that he does great, because he does pick flowers and play with the grass but he just turned 4 at the end of June, so he does great!

Riley is now playing fall baseball and soccer.

With Riley's birthday being at the end of June, we knew that he couldn't start baseball this past spring or summer so we decided to sign him up for soccer since it starts in the fall. So we took him, signed him up and got his jersey. He had mixed emotions from day one. One day he is all excited about it and the next he doesn't want to play. So about a week after soccer sign-ups, I read an ad in the RCN's announcing fall ball, so I called the number. That afternoon, we took Riley and filled out the papers. He had the same mixed emotions with baseball, too. So he is officially playing fall baseball and soccer. Here are some pictures from his practices.

I'm back!

Just to let everybody know that we made it home safely! We had a wonderful trip, with lots of stories and memories. Now all I need is a vacation to recover from my vacation...LOL! I'll post pictures soon, I am going to compile all 6 of our memory cards onto one disc for all of us, which I can imagine is going to be a lot! Well I hate to run but I have a busy day ahead of me.

This afternoon, I will be attending my great-nephew, Joshua Lucas Gibsons' funeral. My niece, Tabi went into preterm labor and had Joshua at only 24 weeks. Joshua Lucas was born Sunday, August 24 and went to be with the Lord on Thursday, September 18, 2008. Please pray for Tabi, Josh and the rest of the family in coping with this horrible tragedy.

Then I will head to Kingston, to our good friends, Ashley and Andre's for Tabatha's baby shower. Tabatha is expecting a baby boy in just about 4 1/2 week! The countdown is on.

UT vs. UCLA

So last night, we invited Shara, Jimmy, and Alisha over to our house to watch the game. Of course this always involves Craig cooking us lots of yummy food with the entertainment of the kids, what could be any better? Craig prepared homemade chicken quesadillas for an appetizer, then made steak kabobs and shrimp scampi with roasted potatoes, mac-n-cheese, and garlic bread. For dessert we ate a yellow cake with chocolate icing prepared entirely by Riley and Hayden, except for taking the cake in and out of the oven. Even thought we lost in overtime we still had lots of fun.

Here are some pictures of the entertain that we had.

He will probably kill me for posting this picture when he gets older but Shara took it!



GO VOLS!

Vacation 2008

So we just got back on Wednesday from a much needed vacation. My sister Adrienne and her friend Brent tagged along for the ride. This was the boys first trip to the beach. Riley loved it and Hayden didn't like the sand sticking to his hands and feet..LOL! We headed to Charleston to stay a few nights and then we make it to our Resort in Myrtle Beach for the rest of the week. The Resort we stayed at was directly on the ocean and had a huge waterpark on the backside, plus several pools, which included the kiddy pool that was outside our building. The boys LOVED the kiddy pool.


The didn't really enjoy the long ride home, since it took us 2 hours longer than normal since it was pouring down rain the whole trip home. Other than camera problem that I had with both of my cameras, we had a GREAT time. Enjoy the slideshow!


This video still has been laughing my rear off, about the time that Craig and Riley came out fo the slide a lil girl walked right into them, she gave Craig a good pump knot on his head....LOL!
