Heaven is getting one magnificent angel today.

Together forever...

Grandma matchey is scheduled to get a ride home back to the farm tomorrow morning and have 24/7 care by family... But they're saying she probably won't make it that long. She has family there with her in lacrosse. Super sad, but she is ready. She is surrounded with love for sure.

daddy made frozen yodagurt cake out of the star wars cook book of fun.

see the squirrel too?

Mom changed her flight. Going to see grandma matchey for her final days. :(  hoping tomorrow she gets to return too the farm.

These two are never out of my reach for my night time study sessions!

Flo is quite interested in Simon, Justin, and Felix!

Someone got into the Halloween box! "I want to wear these too speech" he says. "Okay", if they make him less mute at speech!

Thank you grandma mary! We love this sweat shirt! (I ordered him one too, but it has yet to arrive!!)

So proud off my little storm chaser!

An interesting tidbit for you this evening. (Brian immediately noticed this when the cast came off). Can you see the difference between his legs in the picture? His broken leg, is significantly hairier! I thought it would even out by now...nope, guesss it has only been a few weeks!..still. bizarre! I asked my anatomy professor about it...he was stumped too. He did mention that weeds respond by going crazy when blocked, but hair shouldn't!

Latest banana treat... dipped in sesame seeds= crunchy banana treat!

We're back in business!!

Flushed a fish already! Dagnabit!

Several weeks ago already.

Wonderful box fun! Swords and lightsabers.

Grandpa barge has a new chair!  Finally...this was quite an ordeal..

I morally struggle with this one! I really don't care, but wasn't too make sure he knows it is inappropriate elsewhere!! Let him take advantage of being a little boy!

well, we are on the couch via request per charles. (it is his birthday afterall!) As always, never a dull moment. we cleaned and assembled the fish tank last night through his headache. by bedtime he was hurting pretty bad.  I was hoping he slept it off. nope. woke up about 430 with the bed soaking wet (a nightly issue at this point) he still has a headache. :( the doctor said last time we went in that if they happen more often than weekly to bring him back. she also said "he may just be one of those people prone to headaches." naturally, this comment doesn't satisfy me. i know headaches are insanely complicated....ugh. they don't make him throw up, so that's good i guess. i will start another headache diary today.
My nose buried is in my studies. I'm sorry I haven't been a good daughter, wife, mom, granddaughter, niece, cousin, whatever....I wonder why I'm doing this too often. building debt and not spending most precious time with my family during these precious times that go so FAST!!!! and if it is going to be 6-7 years before I AM working as a nurse, i will be working 12 hour crappy shifts, STILL missing out on my boys' lives. But, i know I can't do massage forever. my body won't sustain that. plus, there is too much drama at my work! of course, I know drama is everywhere. It is killing me to know I could be a better Mom if I didn't have school consuming me. (which wouldn't happen if I had done it right the first time around, but I'm not that smart. Intelligence would help, but I missed that train too.) Can't I just go back to working in a restaurant or something! Maybe I can work in science field somewhere as an assistant, or ..eesh, i don't know..must get off this horse.
PS, dad said he heard a thunder clap yesterday! Told him it was Grandpa saying HI! :)
Alright, going to get an hour of study in before the rest of them awake! Love you guys.

Happy birthday baby!! I cannot believe how fast this time is going. Seems like only yesterday..awww.

i asked charlie on his last day of being six:

what was your favorite thing about being six. "helping you cook" (i said really?!) he says, "christmas" because we got presents".
 what is your favorite thing you did while you were six? "going to the lake"
this past year: he got the bunk bed's grandpa mike built, he is a star student in the first grade. he helped isaiah get through a broken leg, mastered bike riding and dribbling basketballs. great baseball player on the team daddy inherited! (coach pitch)
more to come...
(sorry the last few posts are abrupt)

Brian inherited the blue ninjas baseball team. (Even though they are all wearing red today!)
