• Wow.  Sorry it's been so long.  I'm kind of sick of the computer right now.  It seems all I do is e-mail, facebook and xanga and I just haven't been wanting to be on here much right now.  I'm sorry.   I haven't been a very good xanga friend.  I was going to update on Thursday, but Parker had another seizure that afternoon.  It was crazy, we were at the playground all morning w/ several other moms and their kids and he was perfectly fine.  We went home, ate lunch and then I put him and Madelyn down for naps.  About and hour and a half into his nap I heard him seizing over the monitor.  Of course, he was burning up.  The scary thing this time was that his little ears and lips started turning blue.  I mean, purple.  Terrified me.  I thought..."What if he stops breathing?  I'm the only one here, what would I do?"  We took a CPR course when he left the NICU when he was a baby, but I wasn't sure I could remember how to do it.  I called 911, but he started coming out of it while I was on the phone with them.  We took his temp about 20 minutes later and it was 102.6° and that was after he had cooled off quite a bit, so I'm sure it was much higher before then.  I took him to the doctor the next morning and they said he had a 48 hour virus that was going around that includes a sore throat and a fever.  He never complained about a sore throat or anything.  It just seems like a lot of the time I have no warning, I don't know he's sick until after his seizure.  It's a little discouraging, because we were praying that he would go a whole year without a seizure and we were going on eight months.  But, eight months is a lot longer than he's ever gone before, so that's a praise.  It just caught me off guard because I guess I had let myself believe that he really wasn't going to have one all year, you know?  Anyway, he's doing fine now.  I could tell he didn't feel good over the weekend, but he hasn't run a fever since Thursday night and he's acting fine now.

  We had a pretty good weekend.  Saturday was low-key, which was nice.  Saturday night we dropped the kids off at my parents' house and went out to eat with the Ragsdales.  Texas Roadhouse-yum!  After eating we went to the bowling alley.  So fun!  It's been a while since I've bowled, but we had a blast.  Then we went back to my parent's, picked up the kids and met Brian and Miranda back at our house for brownies and coffee.  Overall, it was a fun night.  Sunday was church and then we came home for lunch and naps and last night Randy went with me to get groceries.  It was nice to go ahead and get it done because today I don't have to go anywhere.  Tonight we're having my parents and maybe my brother Daniel over for dinner because my youngest sister and brother are at youth camp.  This weekend, Randy is going on a fishing trip with his dad and brothers for Father's Day.  So it'll just be me and the kiddos.  My mother-in-law may come up, if she can't, we may meet her halfway and eat lunch and go to a movie or something fun like that on Saturday.

  Everything else is going pretty good around here.  I can't believe we're halfway through June already!  This summer is going to be over before we know it.  It makes me sad that the time goes by so quickly.  I used to always wish for the next thing, but now that I'm doing what I've wanted to do my whole life (wife, mommy), I want everything to slow down and it just goes by faster every year.

  Well, that's about it I guess.  I just put Madelyn down for a nap, so I need to spend some one-on-one time with Parker.  I don't do that often enough.  He is a "quality time" person, I can tell a huge difference when I've spent intentional time with him.  He obeys better and is just happier overall.

  Hopefully I can get around to some of your sites this week since we don't have a lot going on.  I miss you all!

  Pictures...most of these are from last weekend when we were at Randy's parents...

  Wearing Papa's boots
  

     
  They were a little hard to walk in!  LOL.

  Watching cartoons with Papa before bed.  I don't kow why my camera is making the pictures a little fuzzy, it's been doing that recently.
  

  Showing off his shirt his Uncle Joey bought him.  It says "Future Fisherman"  We were at the lake grilling burgers.
  

  My cute husband.  He never wears a ball cap and I think they look good on him!   He was winking at me.
  

  Parker fixing to go in Papa's boat for the first time!  He was sleepy, but excited.  His Papa bought him a "loo-loo hole"  (fishing pole) and he was going to get to use it for the first time!
  

  And I took this last week.  Happy girl!  Look at all her hair!!
   

  Alright, I'm getting off here.  Have a wonderful Monday!
