Spring Game Fun

We’ve taken the kids to other spring football games in the past, and kind of decided the last couple of years to not go. This year we’d thought about it, but just decided to not go again. That was until a lady Joel works with offered him 5 tickets. We really didn’t have anything planned that day except hanging out at home so we thought why not!

MacKenzie wasn’t really excited at first to go to a football game for her birthday (oh forgot to mention it was scheduled for her birthday!) but when we told her we had decided to go out for supper she was all about it.

The week leading up to the game was cold, rainy and even threatened snow in April!!! But thankfully come game day it wasn’t too bad. By the time the game started we were sitting on our coats! I’d made these super cute dresses for the game, and they did get to sport them for a while! (even though I don’t really have decent pictures of them, hopefully it’s a post for another day!)

 

We also decided to just get a motel in Lincoln with a pool for MacKenzie’s Birthday…….but of course by the time we got to the motel BOTH my camera’s were dead! :(

Happy Birthday miss MacKenzie!!

Home Sweet....Motel?What?!

Well I wish I could say that it was a long drive, and we're all tired, but we're home. Unfortunatly I can't say that.

What I can say is that we've had bad news and good news in the last 24 hours.

First off with the bad news: Kaitlynn's new helmet wasn't made correctly, and didn't fit her at all!!!!! I had a bad feeling when the helmet guy brought it in, and it was the same shape as her head is currently. Normally her helmets are a squareish round.(I know, not really explaining it but it's the best I can do!) Well they talked me into thinking it was okay.

We headed off to see our Neurosurgen, and he takes one look at it, and says this isn't right. We've got to fix it. So he was headed any ways to Flordia where they make her helmets, and was going to personally make sure her's was correct this time!!!!!

Now we're stuck here in San Antonio until Friday.

For the good news!!!!! THIS IS OUR LAST HELMET!!! Yes I'm screaming it from the roof tops, and yes you did hear me correctly! LAST ONE!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! We will just have to come back two years post surgery, which will be in January of 2010. When we out grow this new one we won't have to come back!! It was the best news we got this whole trip

I was worried about her Cephalex index having not changed, and Dr. Jimenez eased my mind. He measured my head, and my Cephalex was at 71%..Kaitlynn's is 73%...which means Kaitlynn's head is rounder than mine!!!!! AMAZING! (Joel was quite pleased about this and keeps teasing me!!!) He also measured Joel's (80%) and MacKenzie's (75%), and from looking at Dahrran's he's concluded that Kaitlynn has my head, and the older two have Joel's! Pretty neat if you ask me!j

So here we are couped up in the motel for another day with a screaming infant, cranky preschooler, and pestering schooled child!!!! Kaitlynn's cutting teeth, MacKenzie is whinny for no reason other than she wants to go home, and Dahrran is SOO bored with everyday routine it's not even funny! We're trying to keep them busy!!!
