Beach!!!

We are off to the beach for a fun week in the sun!! When we return we will be at the ball park for ALLSTARS!!! I will update with pictures as soon as I can when we get home.

My Cousin Julie

For those of you who have been following my cousins fight with her cancer... I have some updates for you. When she went back after her last dose of arsenic she was told that her levels (I am not sure what this means) were not good so she would have to start Chemo ( she is not strong enough for it but it is the last resort). She started the Chemo last week and yesterday she started running a fever and was admitted to the hospital. It does not look good right now so please keep her and her family in your prayers. On a positive note since I do not want to end on this- I went in yesterday for my first mammogram and an ultrasound for a lump I found last month and my test came back good!!

Allstar tryouts and Ambulance ride!!!

OK -no pictures but we had a very eventful evening last night. It started with ALLSTAR tryouts for Mason (and YES he made it- so our June will be busy). We ended up spending the rest of the evening in an ambulance to Egleston for Brooks. I can laugh now and say that he just wanted a little attention which he got!!!! so what happened??? Brooks was riding his scooter around the ball field and I noticed he parked it at the playground (this was the big playground- I have never liked at Baycreek) so I started to walk over when Brett called me over to bring him some baseball cards for the boys who were at tryouts so I took him the cards then walked over to the playground searching for Brooks when I finally found him face down and unconscious just laying in the woodchips not moving. It might just be the scariest moment of my life seeing his lifeless little body laying there. I know better but I picked him up-he was limp and not his legs or arms I carried him over to where Brett was finishing up tryouts and he started to cry but he was not able to talk clearly. Luckily there was a fireman who came over examined him and called 911. Brett rode in the ambulance with Brooks ( I was way too hysterical to be with him so I followed in my car behind them) they strapped him down to this board to keep his neck and back flat. He was very brave and did great. He did start to talk on the way to the hospital. Brooks had on Mason’s old ALLSTAR jersey and the paramedic asked him if he played baseball and of course Brooks said “yes” so the paramedic asked what position he liked to play and Brooks answered “ALLSTARS” Brett and the paramedic just started to laugh…. He also said he could feel and move his feet- when Brett told me this I felt a little better. Once we arrived at the hospital they took the board out from under him and he started to move his legs but they still did not want him to move his head and neck because he had pain on his spine and they were worried about a possible break. They took X-Ray’s and did a CT scan and all came back good!! Brooks got lots of attention the nurses gave him a little football and a teddy bear… he was eating it up:-) one of the nurses said how can you say “no to those eyes” anyway after the test came back they let him take the neck brace off have a popsicle and get up and walk he was wobbly but it was a great relief to see him walking!!! So we finally arrived home around 12:30 but I woke up every hour to make sure he was OK so needless to say Brett and I are a little sleep deprived today but what a relief our baby is fine!!! Just a little sore:-(

I also need to add a huge Thank you to Julie/Grammy for helping out with Mason. She had to take him home to get him ready for bed and school today. I know she was dying to be with us at the hospital. I don't know what we would do without such a caring and loving family Grandaddy, Papa and Nana could not stay away we had a room full...

The Harlem Globtrotters

On Sunday we went to see the Harlem Globtrotters at the Gwinnett Arena. It was so much fun. Here is some pictures of the boys after the game at home and 2 pictures from the game. When the game was over they were able to get a few autographs so if you look close you might see them on the ball and on the shorts.

Doesn't he look like a baseketball player?

" Future globetrotter"


Look it's Brooks in the future!!

This is a picture of "Big Easy" from the globe trotters and Mark Winnie from Channel 2 news he was a special player for the Generals team.

Here is "Flight time" this is the jersey that Brooks has on in the pictures above.

Fun in the snow

The snow has come and gone and just a week later it is 75 degrees!! The boys had so much fun playing in the snow. Mason was running a fever on Sunday and Monday but he was still able to go out for a few minutes and enjoy the snow. They loved making snow balls and throwing them at each other and especially throwing them at Brett. Brooks loved making snow angels and wearing his frog galoshes. I am not big on the cold and wet snow but it was so much fun watching them have so much fun. I am so ready for summer!

Stone mountain

On Sunday, we (Me, Brett, Mason, Brooks, Cassy, Mark and K) decided to head to Stone Mountain because it was such a nice day.  Here are a few pictures that I took. 

The boys loved running around on top of the mountain.  I was never afraid of heights until after kids so this made me a little nervous.....

Can you say Cheese?

Hey K which way should we go first?

We played a little putt putt with K.
