I was hoping to have some good pictures to post after last night's football game, but things didn't go the way we had planned. The good news is that Collins Hill beat Parkview 30-9 last night. Way to go Brandon. The bad news is that the kids were too sick to take to the game. We had the cutest shirts made for them to wear, but they didn't get to just yet. On top of all that, Brandon's parent's came to go to his game but stayed at the house to keep sick babies. We got a call after the game that his parents were now sick too. That crazy virus got all 7 of us in this house this week! Brandon had to stay home today to keep the children while I went to Athens to the game so needless to say I don't have any fun pictures to post. Happy Labor Day... Happy Birthday Mom...Go DAWGS!

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything on this blog. We haven't had much happening around here except going to preschool and church. Right now I have two sick children and I am sitting around waiting on the third one to join in on the fun. I guess they have a virus because we are not keeping anything down ( if you know what I mean). Let me just tell you- my house STINKS! Brandon walks in at night-sniffs- and says, "ah... smells like home". Since they are all laying down I actually have a few minutes to get on the computer. Emma Tucker and Will were both sleeping on towels together and I tried to capture a picture, but my camera is dead. I hope we are able to get some good pictures Friday night at Brandon's football game. I'm crossing my fingers everyone is feeling better by then. Today is day 5 for Will, so it has to be ending soon. I've also been trying to figure out this Facebook thing too. It hasn't happened yet though. Anyway, I can't wait for football this weekend! GO DAWGS!

Will and Walker's first day of one year old preschool

Will and Walker started the church preschool today. Needless to say, they were not as excited about going as Emma Tucker. They did calm on day rather fast I think. I hope they were not too big of handfuls today. Here are a few pictures of their arrival.

First Day of Two Year Preschool

Emma Tucker started back to the church preschool today. She could not wait. She was yelling.. "yeah.. school". She walked right on in and never looked back. Emma Tucker felt right at home in her classroom. They had dolls and bottles laid out for them to play with and that is her favorite thing to play with at home. The boys might be a different story tomorrow. I'm afraid Walker will have a melt down when I drop him off. Here are a few pictures of her at the church.

Here is a picture of our family today at picture day at Collins Hill High School. We had already taken our official picture so the children were over it by now. I have to say they behaved very well. I had a good time because while Brandon had to stay and take pictures with the players, I had an excuse to go shopping. I took the children to the mall for a while while Brandon stayed and worked. We love an excuse to get out of the house. I never go shopping and there just happened to be a lot of green clothes in Ann Taylor loft today. I told Brandon I guess I had to have some new green clothes since those are Collins Hill colors. I was telling mom if he didn't change jobs every fall I wouldn't have to buy new clothes every football season. We have never been green before so I didn't have a choice (at least that was the way I saw it).

It has been a busy week. The boys had their one year check up and Emma Tucker ended up having to go to the doctor also for being sick. You know Emma Tucker doesn't feel well when she won't eat, drink or move. Her favorite three things to do. We ended up having to take her to Scottish Rite to get fluids on Thursday night. She is doing much better now. She had to miss her preschool orientation on Friday since she was sick. However, the boys were able to attend. They are all supposed to start next week. Emma Tucker is supposed to go on Monday and Wednesdays and the boys will go on Tuesday and Thursdays. I hope everything works out so they can all attend. Emma Tucker adored it last year.

The twins birthday is tomorrow, but we had their birthday party this afternoon. We decided to have a swim party since we may never have our own pool again if we end up moving. The kids seemed to have a great time playing in the water and EATING and EATING and EATING! I looked over and Emma Tucker had a popsicle in one hand and a cupcake in the other. We had not officially started eating cake yet, but Emma Tucker thought otherwise. I guess she just wanted to get the party started. Will and Walker went crazy over their cake. We took away their cakes after they had quickly gobbled down half of it. They were extremely irritable with us after that. Will had his cake longer than Walker so Walker tried to climb over and eat some of Will's. Will broke out after eating his cake so we gave them so Benedryl. I guess they had so much sugar that the Benedryl didn't even knock them out.
