Weekend Update

*FRIDAY*

This was actually my 10 year reunion weekend (craziness), so we came to Rogers to make some of the homecoming festivities.

Hadley had a blast at the parade and loaded up on candy!

There was a section marked off for the class of 2003 to sit during the game, but what 4 or 5 year old would want to sit in bleachers when you could do this the whole game?

Love some Friday Night Lights!

 What happens when your parents do an awful job of packing and you have no jammies? 

You wear one of daddy's t-shirts!!!

*SATURDAY*

I spent the morning at a women's luncheon with my sister at her church.  It was a great morning of fellowship and a great lesson.  Thanks again Jasmine!

Buffalo Wild Wings for football and lunch, perfection!

Then to the house for more football, before heading back to Tulsa.

WOO PIG!

I know, I'm such a party pooper for not going to the actual reunion.  We had planned on doing some of the stuff but my pregnant self talked my nostalgic self out of it because I was tired and didn't want to get home super dooper late.  I really am sad I missed it.  I guess I just need to keep myself together for another 10 years for my 20th.

We listened to the Arkansas game on the way home and it was pretty disappointing.  =(

Maybe next week...

*SUNDAY*

We went to some fun festivities at church.

The Great Pumpkin Carving Party

After stuffing ourselves with homemade soups and dessert, Hadley got her face painted.

Pumpkin Carving

Bedazzling

and a few triangles for good measure.

Much fun was had, but sadly we had to get home so Hads could get to bed, as the last 2 nights have been post 10pm bedtimes... yikes!

Thanks for checkin' in!!

Weekend Update: We Want Daddy Home

*SATURDAY*

We started the day with a BBQ Picnic at the park for SAA.  Hadley had a blast playing with friends.

While we ate lunch Hadley laid on my lap a couple time, which I knew wasn't like her, but she felt fine so I just figured she was tired.

We got home and I mowed. (No more brush pile to mow around, HOORAY!)

And after coming in she kept getting more mopey. Around 7 her temp was 101.5, and I gave her Tylenol a glass of ice water and cold grapes, 45 minutes later it had gone up to 102.1 (taken orally even after ice water and cold grapes).

Andrew's usually the one to tell me she'll be fine and I'm overreacting but he wasn't here and she rarely runs fever.  Not saying she isn't ever sick, she just doesn't run fevers very often. (I can honestly only count on one hand.)  On top of the fever she was complaining of her "brain hurting" and her "eyes feeling weird." (In my head Hadley has meningitis at least 5 times a year, haha, so this really freaked me out.)

Naturally I had a meltdown, then pulled myself together and got her ready to go to the ER. (I would blame the meltdown on hormones, but I really hate when she's sick AND Andrew's not here.)

I would have been fine taking her to an urgent care but the one we usually go to was already closed for the day.

Thankfully, we got in and out really fast and were able to see a doctor that's in our Bible class at church.

Rocking her PJs and Goofy slippers in the ER.

Of course its a virus which means Tylenol/Motrin until it passes, BLAH!

When we got home her temp was over 103 so I gave her some Motrin and thankfully she broke out in a serious sweat about 30 minutes later.

*SUNDAY*

Last night really felt like having a newborn.  I was up just about every 1-2 hours and didn't actually go to bed until after midnight.  Her fever spiked again around 5:30 at 103.3, but went down with tylenol.  After giving her Motrin for 101.5 this morning at 9 she stayed between 100-101, without meds, until 4.

After talking to Andrew and some other friends we're kinda thinking Roseola, because its going around and Hadley doesn't have hardly any symptoms besides the fever and headache.  That being said, hopefully we only have another day or so of fever, then a rash and we can be done with this mess!!

On a more exciting note, today's the first day of fall!!!  Its a beautiful 80* here and I have changed out all my wax warmers to fall scents.  I also have some homemade butternut squash soup in the crockpot that is smelling divine right now.  I cannot wait to sit and enjoy some!!

Incase you're counting, like Hads and I are, only 5 more days till Andrew's home.

Thanks for checkin' in!!

Weekend Update: Deep in the Heart of Texas

*THURSDAY*

It was a little bit of a rough trip Hadley was wired and didn't want to do any of the activities I had brought for the trip.  It was a good several hours of "Are we there yet?"

Stopping at Panera for their new Autumn Squash soup helped some though.

We finally arrived in Austin, where Andrew's sister, and her family live.  It was about midnight and Hadley only slept the last 10 minutes.

*FRIDAY*

We made a run through Dan's Hamburgers for lunch. Then we headed back to the house to play for the rest of the afternoon.

Sprinklers and trampolines are always fun.

Andrew came in just in time for dinner and we did some classic Tex Mex. YUM!

Ready for bed!

After the kiddos headed to bed we played a game of Jokers & Pegs.  Rach and I pretty much dominated the guys.  Yep, 3 in a row!!! 

 *SATURDAY*

We made the drive to San Antonio and spent the day in Sea World.

Someone was pumped!!

I LOVE SEA WORLD!!

 *Shamu Express*

*Splash Pad*

*Face Painting*

*Azul*

The acrobats were pretty amazing!

 *Cuties*

*Rio Loco*

Even after a pretty exhausting day, this sweet girl was all about helping and brought her own bag inside.

 *SUNDAY*

I have a cousin who lives in San Antonio with her husband so we met up for lunch at Rudy's.  It was delicious and just in case you're in the area you need to get their creamed corn!!!

After lunch we headed downtown to The Children's Museum, The Alamo and the Riverwalk.  

The last time we were there Hadley was 6 months old, so we had fun retaking some of our pictures of then and now.

Hadley loved the Children's Museum and spent the first 30 minutes at this sandbox.

 Just another day at the farm.

*H-E-B Market*

*Pilot Hadley*

*Ball Pit Fun*

After dinner at Hard Rock, on the river, we headed to Ben & Jerry's.
Ice Cream is always a hit with the Hads.

Another fun filled day!

 *MONDAY*

We headed back to Austin, so Andrew could get his car and then we headed home, while Andrew headed to work.

A last farewell!

After accomplishing our 2nd successful trip through Dallas traffic we celebrated with Huddle House.

It was a great time getting to see some family and getting to see Andrew.  We've been missing him something fierce!!  Can't wait till we get him home for a few days, we just have to wait another 10 days.

Thanks for checkin' in!!
