Life Lessons

So, tonight I write to you while Chad is holding Kaileigh and they are both asleep in the chair. Kaileigh woke up fine this morning but as the day has gone on she has started to run fever and her mouth is broken out in large blisters all over! So, we will be going to see the doctor tomorrow. I just feel like that poor little girl can't catch a break this last month. God is good and has promised to take care of her so I will leave it up to him....

Kalebh is also having some breathing trouble so we are back on breathing treatments and trying to get a sore tooth better...whew...it is going to cost me my liver to have it all done but...the things we will do for our kids.

So, I found out today that Bailey is going to be bring her mom...my sister to see me. I cannot wait. My bestfriend Britni and bailey and aj on the same weekend...I hope I can wait!!! That little baby is soo cute I just can't wait to show her off.

Chad is home for now...still busy but home!!! That is all we ask for right now! School, is good midterms for me are over and teaching is goign well. I love all my students and they are alot of fun...as they are most years...

Kaileigh's new thing is....oh man...when she doesn't get what she wants and it is soo cute! Kalebh is just learning and taking everything in. He has had to learn a hard lesson this weekend about people not always being nice but he learned and went on...It is so fun and neat to see your kids grow up and learn that God is God all the time...I just pray that he trust the Lord as he gets older. He is ready to be reading...big books and so we are working on that. It is so fun to hear him when he comes in from school about his day...that is when and if I get it out of him.

We had some of our "other" kids in this weekend. Emily and Daryn from college. Kaileigh was so glad to see her best friend Emily...too cute. It is so fun to see other kids love on your kids. Chad cooked supper and they came over...It was fun. W

We are looking forward to what God has in store for us this week. I am trying to do better updates but as you see...I don't have much to say. I need to take some pictures.

Kalebh starts Boy Scouts and Flagfootball this week so I hope to get some pictures up..
Love to all.

Liar, Liar pants on fire

Well, go ahead and call me a Liar...I can't keep up I guess. It seems that we go ALL the time...Let me see if I can bring you up to spend some...

Chad and I went to Fredericksberg a few weeks ago. We had a blast. It was so fun to go some where we have never been before and just to be us. We didn't have our kids or any one else kids either. It was just so nice to shop, eat and sleep...whenever we want and for as long as we wanted. My wonderful parents took of 4 days to come and stay with our kids and we are so thankful for that.

We were back about 2 days and Chad got a phone call that he had to head South and bring in some cotton. So he is back and forth down to Uvalde about every other week for now. So, we will see how that goes. Pray for a fellow worker of Chads who just had a grandchild born and the baby isn't doing well at all. This will cause more work for Chad but he is very happy to help Morgan out as Morgan would do the same for him.

Youth...fundrasing...my least fav. thing in the world to do but it will all be over this Friday for a while. We have about 300 hundered potatoes to get washed wrapped and cooked to serve Friday night before the football game. It will be fine but this always stresses me out.

Kalebh is LOVING 1st grade...it is sooo much better than Kinder. as he says...He is enjoying reading lost of books at already has over 10 AR points. Which is great. He is silly and in to everything. He is at Flagfootball pracitcie right now and then boy scouts is on Mondays and RA's on Wednesday we go to JV and Jr. High games on Thursday and Friday night football...on fridays...so that is about what he is up to!!!!

Kaileigh....wow....is she me or what? I love her but we sure bump heads some time. I am so thankful for her and she makes Kalebh, Chad and I laugh all the time. She is a breath of fresh air and can go from happy to MAD fast!!!! She is growing, talking, and learning new things all the time. She loves her Gammy and Mimi so much she can't understand why she can't go to their house every day.

Chad's grandparents are doing well. As you know we lost Ira this summer and this is a very hard process for Juanita and all but they are doing really well. It seems to help that Gail is doing okay too. But, remember her as I can't imagine what it is like to lose your son.

Erin Bailey...need to move to Lockney. I wish I was where I could see her more often. She is getting so big and is one of the most happy babies I have ever seen. Aj and I said the other day we are sooo blessed! And we are.

I write today with a very heavy heart. You know there are people in our lives that leave footprints and a girl name Sara has sure done that. She has a great story that can be ready at the following blog...but, all day I have remembered to thank God in the good and bad as this family has done. They have had a hard time and now Sara rests with our Father. This will be a long road for her husband and 2 week old baby. Please pray for them every time you think of it...they are going to need it. http://www.bandssullivan.blogspot.com/

Well, I need to get supper started. Life is so sweet and I thank God that I can just get up, love him, praise him, love my kids, husband and family everyday. Some times it is the small things we forget to be thankful for.

With all my love,
Katie

PS...I will get pictures up....soon....soon to you and me might be two different things!!!!!
