It's been a while...........

Well, it's been about a week since I wrote anything so I decided I should before Heather tells me I'm being lazy again!!

Troy had a blast on his 1st field trip to Critter Creek farms. I'll post the pics on snap fish when I get a chance.

The boys got their report cards last week. All pretty good considering what we went thru with Zachary the 1st 9 weeks. He had 1 A and the rest B's, so I'm not complaingin at all. We are realy working hard this grading period to bring those up to A's. Wish us luck!!

Ronnie has his 10th chemo treatment this Friday. Hopefully only 2 more after that. YEAH!! I know he is looking forward to the end...... He is still taking the medicine and shots for the blood clot. Hopefully he will know how that's doing when he goes back on Friday. He has to have another ultrasound tomorrow on another part of his body(a little more personnal so I can't tell you which one) which has been giving him some discomfort this week. So, we'll see what they say about that too. Other than the new ailments he feels pretty good this week, just in time to feel really bad again after his treatment Friday.

Friday night we are going to Elkmont, Al to watch our nephew Lee play football. He graduates this year and Friday night is senior night. I heard he was offered a scholarship to Auburn University. Way to go!! We are very proud of him.

My brother Patrick and his wife Heather have just bought a house. Congratulations!! We are really excited for you!! Can't wait to see it.

Tonight the kids at church are going out to Huntington Place to hand out candy and fliers about our fall festival at church next week. Then they are going to TCBY. The boys are excited.
Our fall festival is Next Wednesday night starting at 6:30 if anyone wants to come. It should be a lot of fun. The boys Halloween costumes should be here by Friday I think. Zachary is going to be Indian Jones and Troy is going to be a member of the SWAT team. I am also trying to plan Zach and Troy's b-day parties. They are both having them next Saturday Nov 1st at the gym at church. Troy is having an Elvis theme and Zach is having a basketball theme. Should be a grand time had by all!! :)

Zachary's b-day is tomorrow so I am going to take a b-day snack to his class in the morning. Troy's birthday is next Wednesday so I will do the same for him.

Also, my friend Terri is going thru a rough time, about to file for divorce I think, so please pray for her and her family.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!!!!!!!!!

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long weekend ended too soon...............

Well, so much for my 4 day weekend. It went by like a flash!! But I really needed a break. I hadn't taken a vacation day since July.
Ronnie has chemo Friday. He had to go back saturday to get a shot to boost his white blood cell count. Then he has to go back today to have some blood work done They upped his medication for his blood clot Friday and so the blood work is to check and see if it's doing it's job.

Friday Troy spent the night with his cousins Emma and Brayden. He had a blast once he quit crying. He is always so excited all week long until he finally realizes it's time. But he gets over it pretty quick. He didn't want to leave when I got there to pick him up.

Sunday we went to church and once we got home we didn't leave the house again until 6:30 this morning when it was time to start my work week again...uuuggghhh!! Yesterday me, Zach and Troy spent the day cleaning the house. We got done about 3:00. I took a shower then we went outside and played some basketball. We had a good time.

Tomorrow Troy has his 1st ever field trip. We will be going to Critter creek Farms. I'm sure we'll have a great time.

Well, until the next time I have a chance to blog..................I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

New development...............

Ronnie's leg was hurting bad all day long yesterday, so he called DR. Dubay's office. The nurse wanted him to come in and have an ultrasound done to make sure he didn't have a blood clot. Sure enough, he did. He now has to take a prescription medicine avery day and give himself a shot in the stomach everyday!! OUCH!!! They said the blood clot was in a secondary vein so they didn't think it was anything to worry about. Hopefully the medicine will take care of it.

He will have his next chemo treatment this Friday at 1:00. Three more after this one and hopefully everything will look good.

Troy had is first and last tournament game last night. So we are done with baseball.........until next spring. Just in time for basketball which is right around the corner!!

The boys are out of school Friday and monday so I have taken vacation days and will be off work also! YEAH!! Although I do have a parent/teacher conference for Troy on Friday it should only take about 30 minutes or so.

Zachary and Troy have both picked out their Halloween costumes. Troy is going to be a member of the SWAT team and Zachary is going to be Indiana Jones!! Thank goodness Halloween is on a Friday night this year.

Well, I hope everyone is having a great week. Take care.

Not much going on........

Well, it's been a while since I blogged anything........it's been relatively quiet at our house the last few weeks. But I guess I need to write something since my sister in law Heather thinks I'm slacking!! :)

Zachary is doing much better in school. Although, he will be doing ALOT of reading over the next week. He has 2 more books to read before the grading period ends on October 9th. I know he can do it if he puts his mind to it.

Troy's last regular season game is tonight. Their tournament will start on Monday. They got beat pretty bad Tuesday night but Troy did get to play 2nd base the last inning. He was much happier about that!! There is not enough action for him in the outfield for him. He really needs to have something to do.

Ronnie had his 8th chemo treatment last Friday. It went well. He felt very bad Sunday and Monday but I think he is starting to feel much better now.

Mercedes cut their hours back to 32 hours per week starting this week. They are letting employees sign up for extra work on the Friday that they are off. Ronnie didn't think he would get picked to work since they were only picking 250 people out of the whole plant but luckily he was one of the employee's picked this week. He doesn't know what he will be doing but as long as he's getting a chance to work that day I'm sure he doesn't really care what the job will be. Keep your fingers crossed that he might get picked again next week. That would really help out a lot.

Well, it is starting to be a very busy time of year for us. Zachary and Troy's birthdays are both this month, Zachary on the 23rd and Troy on the 28th. I am planning on having their birthday parties on November 1st. They both want their parties in the gym at church so they can play basketball. Works out great for me since it doesn't cost me anything ro reserve the church.
Ronnie's birthday and our 7 year anniversary are both in November. Ronnie hopefully will be done with his chemo the week before Thanksgiving. Then you have Thanksgiving and then Christmas the next month. I think I need to try to get some rest now while I can.....ha ha!!

Well, I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Only 1 more day until the weekend!! Yeah!!
