Hello, hello, whoever is out there!





I know- I've been REALLY bad about blogging. I have a REALLY good excuse- or 10. Working full time on top of being a full time parent, I'm BUSY BUSY!
To start things off, I have to talk about Travis Cade. My goodness, this child has given me a run for my money (literally). He is ALL BOY. Everything about him is boy- he's huge, loves to bang things to make noise, is highly entertained by watching basketball on tv, loves to dance, loves his mama, and loves to get hurt. You can't sum it up any better than that!
Travis has had repeat ear infections since he was born- constant congestion, cough, snoring, ear issues... so we finally took him to an ENT. He told us that we definitely needed to get his tubes put in and adenoids removed. All in all, it was a great experience. We had the surgery at Texas Childrens- aside from the delay of starting by 2 hours, Travis did great and we were in and out in a few hours! He is an entirely different kid now when it comes to congestion. No more runny nose and I can hardly hear him on the monitor, which means no snoring!
Well I guess he couldn't leave well enough alone- a week and a half ago, we were at Center Court Pizza with my parents to eat dinner- within the first 10 minutes of being there, Travis was chasing birds and tripped on the uneven ground on their patio. Fell on his arm! He was wimpering a bit but nothing alarming. He went home, went to sleep, and then woke up at 4am just whining and not really himself. We looked at his arm and the way he was favoring it and knew something was wrong. We went to Methodist Emergency and sure enough, little man had broken it in 3 places by his wrist! He is a tough cookie! He got a temp cast and then we went a week ago today to get his permanent cast. He was so good- never cried, just stared at the doctors as they came to work on him. He got a camoflauge cast, he looks so cute! This cast hasn't slowed him down AT ALL. He is go go go all of the time! I swear, he gives me major mommy worry everytime he moves!

As for the girls- they are both great. Kaylie is really exceling in school. She loves to read and play school every single day, a pastime that I did as well! She likes to put on my shoes and teach her students every day. She's a hoot! We recently discovered Skype and she has talked to my dad a few times. She told him to close his eyes... and then she tried to stand up in the barstool- when I asked her what she was doing, she said I'm going to show him my butt... needless to say, we are always entertained by the things that come out of her mouth. She's funny, witty and I just love her to death! Hard to believe she will be 7 in a little over 3 weeks.

Emily is still as sweet as ever- I feel like we haven't seen her in a while but we didn't have her for spring break this year and then she was sick last weekend so she didn't come over. We can't wait to see her this weekend!!! She is doing great. :)

Sorry for the delay- really, I just feel like I'm moving in a million directions and I am never slowing down! I will try my best to keep up with it better. Here are some pics over the last few months!
