Our HIGHS:

My high was starting to feel better after a two week long sickness. I finally went to the doctor on Monday and got some antibiotics. By Wednesday I was feeling much better.

Our LOW:

After almost 3 weeks with Roonie we had to give him away. Many things I would say would probably be excuses and explaining myself but I will give a few anyway.

Reasons he had to go:

- His number one chew toy...... MY BOYS

- After I took him to get his shots last week he became aggressive with us.

- Allergies.

I will admit I was not the best owner and could have tried a little harder but I just did not have it in me. I did talk to Kaden about it and the weird thing is he was excited to do it. I will admit he is getting a replacement A NEW DOG. We have decided to invest (a small investment thanks to Ebay) purchase a hypoallergenic, maintenance free, non chewing dog.

Meet Biscuit - THE ROBOT DOG (AS KADEN WOULD SAY)

Wednesday - Preschool Book Review

Because Presidents' Day was on Monday we read

Presidents' Day By Anne Rockwell

Read about a school program about the Presidents on Mount Rushmore and their history.

First Soccer Practice

It was a wet and dreary practice but I was proud of my boy.

Kaden is the one in red.

Kaden's first huddle.

GO BOBCATS!

Round ____ ???

The Gabbard family is on round ____ ???? I have lost count with sickness. I think I can say since Thanksgiving it started with a stomach virus and then every other week something else. I am so tired because I am sick this time and cannot seem to shake this cold really sore throat cough up my lung stuff. Please pray we can shake this because Tim and the boys have it again as well.

I hate to complain because I follow some blogs with ill children. I check on and pray for these families daily.

Happy Valentines Day!

To celebrate Valentines day I am going to write about the things I love about the guys in my life.



Things I love about Tim:



I love the way he has a passion for the ministry.


I love the way he makes special occasions special.


I love the way he is always brainstorming.


I love the way he plans events and outreaches and the level of excellence he plans them with.


I love the way he comes home from a long day and wrestles and plays with his boys.


I love his fun and exciting since of humor.





Things I love about Kaden:



I love the way he gives me hugs when he wakes up in the morning.


I love the way he says "fricka fricka fresh" as if he is a DJ and then crosses his arms.


I love the way he calls his thumb a "fung" and "Chick-de-fa" for Chick-fil-a.


I love the way he changes his cloths all day to find the right cool guy outfit to wear.


I love the way he still has his baby aquirium and still listens to it as he goes to sleep.


I love the way he carries around his blanket, pillow, and Coco when he is tired or not feeling well.





Things I love about Karson:



I love the way he lays his head on my shoulder and pats me on the back when he wakes up.


I love the way he laughs when he wants you to chase him.


I love the way he puckers his lips when he drinks from a straw.


I love the way he sits in his bed and looks through a book after I put him to bed.


I love the way he holds his blankie when he is sleeping.


I love the way he walks to me and reaches for me to pick him up.


I did steal this from one of my favorite blogs The Preachers Wife but she encouraged others to do it.

A Tissue Mess

The other day when I was in the midst of sickness I did not catch the silence in time. I looked down to find Karsee pulling out what looked like the 100th tissue out of my tissue box.

Wednesday - Preschool Book Review

Since Valentines Day is right around the corner we have been reading

The Best Thing About Valentines
By Eleanor Hudson

Read about making, sending, and giving away Valentines Day card's. But you'll have to read it to find out the best thing.

Tuesday Update

I am feeling closer to 100% today. Kaden had his first Soccer practice scheduled for tonight but it was canceled due to rain.

I did find myself in a 12x12 room with a Pit Bull when I took Roonie to get his shots today. I am extremely scared of big dogs especially Pit Bulls. Poor little Roonie could have been his snack and Roonie was drawing attention to us with his shaky squeaky noises. I do not think I took a full breath till that was done.

The canceled practice did not stop us from putting Kaden's gear on so he could get used to it. Tim worked with him before the bad weather started.

This was before Tim got home and I put all his new stuff on. He was complaining about it being uncomfortable and I told him that because it was new he just had to wear it in. Then Tim came home and I found out I put the whole shin gaurd sock stuff on wrong. When Tim fixed it he loved his soccer gear.

From our trip ----- Spicy Lotion

This made me laugh for a few reasons:

- The Brand name.
- What is spicy lotion?
- If it is liquid how is it lotion?

Random but I still think it is funny a week later.

From our trip ----- Karsee and Pawpaw

Since Karsee was little he has had a special bond with Pawpaw. It is special because my Pawpaw can have a hard shell but Karsee melts it everytime.

While we were visiting Pawpaw and Nanny one of the days on our trip Karson was really tired. Pawpaw offered to take him and put him to sleep and the whole time I was thinking "yea right he will not get him to sleep". After a little bit I went to check on the progress and found this.
