Good Times

Making memories is so important. Each year John and Johnny go to Monster Jam! They get so excited and I save for awhile for them to go and spend money and have fun! My boys were so excited to go that they drove me nuts. Saturday was the big day and Hannah and I were going to spend time together,but she ditched me. Wow! Honestly, I was excited to spend time alone, I don't get that very often. So, I watched TV, read a book and went to bed. I loved every min of it. We kinda skipped Church on Sunday so we all slept in, I made a nice breakfast and put my family to work. I was not going to clean on my night off! I am getting smart. LOL Anyway, I thought I would update my blog a bit!

Tonight the Dutchgirls played their fist night for the district games. They won and my little #12 Hannah Roach had a great night! I am so proud of her! Look for another blog, we play on Wednesday!

Headaches and Ulcers

My poor husband is so sick tonight with a bad headache. As he wife, I feel at a loss of what to do to help him. He looks horrible and this is one of his worse headaches ever. He is finally going to see a specialist to help him figure out what the triggers are. Tonight, I was ready to take him to the ER so they can give him a shot or something-I was scared for him.

Hannah has been diagnosed with having Acid Reflux and an Ulcer. She is only 14 and I feel that I am to blame? Was it the horrible foods we eat? Stress?

Is John's headaches my fault too? YIKES.. I have already been trying to make healthy meals an I try to ban junk food and soda, but they bring it in..... I am wanting to make changes, maby these are the things that needed to happen so that we are all on board with changing what we eat and drink.....

Crazy.... by the way, does anyone really read this? LOL

Proud Aunt

This is my connner, and I am one proud auntie! He is growing up so fast that I can't take it and I'm not his mother! He loves Hannah and Johnny and of course me :)!!!!!! He tells you what he wants, and trust me he tells you what he does not want too! He is so fun to watch grow up and he is the cutest thing ever.. Thank goodness he looks like Karen haha..
I have a lot of plans to spend time with him this summer. Hannah is planning on getting a job at the pool so I will have Johnny and we plan on kidnapping Conner and taking him to the pool with us a lot this summer.. :)

Johnny Ill

Johnny is sick now, I have been busy this week with sick kids. Now, I am officially broke-between all of Hannah's medication, trips to the doctor, and now Johnny! I normally have on hand Tylenol and Motrin, but I was out and wouldn't you know it, when you are out of something, that's when you need it. LOL
I am thankful that I have the kind of job where I can take off and take care of my kids!

Hannah Ill

I took Hannah to the ER last weekend because she was having stomach pains and we thought she had a hernia or something. The ER doctor told us that she was "backed up" but you know my mothers instinct told me it was something different. Anywho, we gave her the meds so she could go,and she did and today she was hurting the same as last week, well worse today. My poor baby,just looking at her I could see the pain that she was in. So, I took her to urgent care and they gave her a GI martini and it worked. She felt better. This means that my poor 14 year old has the beginning signs of an ulcer and she has Acid Reflux-advanced stage. Her doctor gave me some prescription meds to help her feel comfortable. If she is not feeling better in the next week then we will have to take her to get a CAT scan!

I am glad I had money saved back for an emergency, otherwise I would not have been able to take her to the doctor. I spent 100 today alone in gas to get there, doctor fee and medications. I am proud though that John and I are on our way to financial freedom and are being responsible with our money and were able to take care of our daughter! I know it might sound strange to others who have been financially mature, but for the immature-like John and myself, it's a good feeling to do things right! :)

IN-LAWS

Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law, we were able to go to the Mizzou game this year. As we were walking to go buy our tickets, men were on the corner selling tickets at a fair price for better seating, I was scared we would get arrested our something-I have never done anything like that, but we did not and we had a good time and had a wonderful memory as a family.

I truly have a great set of in-laws and I think we are lucky to have the kind of relationship we have! Thanks mom and dad for being so wonderful and spoiling us!

US

I love my husband, and thankfully he loves me too! We have been through a lot in our 15 years of marriage, but the tough times do make us stronger.

I thought I would start this blog so our family can see and hear about our lives! I don't know if this blog will be successful or not, but lets give it a shot! So have fun reading about our crazy life!

Here is my boy, cooking at 9 years old. He loves food, and all kinds of it. I asked him if he was going to be a great chef someday, and he told me no, that he was going to be the guy who taste all the food that other people make. :)
