Happy Birthday, Daddy!!

Just wanted to wish my dad a Happy 62nd Birthday!

Day with Evan

Over Spring Break, I went to Michelle's and spent the day with Evan while Michelle was at work. He is the sweetest baby and I just enjoy spending time with him and Michelle. I can't believe that he is almost 7 months old. I spent the night with them and then we met Michelle's mom for lunch. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again.

Lunch at Proffitt's

After church today, we went to Proffitt's for lunch. I just happen to have my camera in my purse. John James and Addi had the best time playing on the beach there.

Snow in Mississippi in March

Can you believe this? It is snowing in Mississippi and it is the first day of March. Unbelievable!!! Only in Mississippi would this happen. I can actually remember it snowing in 1993 when I left to go home for Spring Break!

I got this morning and headed to John James' house to play in the snow. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Upwards Basketball

John James is playing Upwards Basketball this year and I have to say he is one of the best players out there in his age range (however, I could be a little bias!). But he actually looks like he knows what he is doing. He plays every Saturday around 9:00, and he is having a blast playing. This past Saturday, I decided that I wouldn't go because he was only supposed to play one quarter and I just really wanted to sleep in. I got a call about 10:00 from Debbie telling me that he had scored 6 points and was the best offensive player that day (every player gets an award each week). I was so mad at myself for not going to the game. Needless to say, I will not miss another one unless I am out of town.

Before the first game!

No Mo Chemo Party

Back in the summer, one of our speech therapist, Joy Bailey, was diagnosed with cancer and she has been taking treatments all year. In January she took her last treatment, so we decided to get together around Valentine's Day and have a "No Mo Chemo Party" to celebrate her finishing her treatments and being cancer-free. Actually, we just used that as an excuse to get together and eat an early supper and talk. We had a great time.

Sick Again!

I am so tired of being sick. I have been to the doctor now twice in less than two weeks and have really been struggling with this mess since November. About two weeks ago, I went to the nurse practitioner and she did a chest x-ray and blood work. She said that I had a touch of bronchitis; however, because I had had a steroid shot back in November, she would not give me a steroid shot (which I knew that is what I needed). I knew that if I could have seen my regular doctor he would have given me a shot, but instead I had to pay for a chest x-ray and blood work ($250) and antibotics ($50). All to be back in the doctor's office today ($150). At least I will meet my deductible really fast this year. I used to struggle with this mess all of the time, so my doctor knows that usually the steroid shot is the only thing that will work for me. I try to tell the nurse practitioners that but they won't listen to me. Please don't think I am dogging the NPs. She was super nice and I know that they have protocols that they have to follow. It is just so frustrating when they won't give me what I need. So I went to my doctor today and he gave me the shot and basically said that he would have given it to me 2 weeks ago. I asked him to please write it on my chart, but I don't think that he did. I think that I will just be sticking with my doctor from now on no matter how long I have to wait to see him. Anyway, I am feeling a little better tonight. My fever has broken for the time being and my throat and ears aren't hurting has much. Hopefully, I am on the mends. Sorry for all of the venting. I am just sick and tired of being SICK!!!
