It's eleven o'clock in the p.m. I had surgery just over 12 hours ago. I'm all hopped up on meds. You would think I would be sleeping. I had Endoscopic Sinus Surgery this morning and I will be honest - I feel like crap and look worse. So I'm not going to share any pictures or go into any details. You're welcome. I guess since I slept for 10 of those 12 hours today, I will blog now and try to get caught up. This should be fun.
Emma's week of Birthday celebrating was lots of fun! We had fun with all the Bee's on the 11th. Bryn wanted a Panda cake - her mama did an awesome job and everyone had black mouths by the end of the party. Emma and Brynlee are the only Birthday's in March on that side of the family. The J's have lot's of March Birthday's (6, I think).
Atley, Erin and Emma
Emma got some fun things from everyone - garden stuff, feather earrings, and art stuff and a bike. Grandma B. took her shopping on her bday and got flip flops (a tradition).
On Friday, March 16, we took Emma and 3 of her friends to Planet Play in Draper. Josh was a good sport and entertained Erin all night. Emma and her friends had so much fun (and so did Jer and I). The kids all got the pizza buffet and a card with points to do the games and attractions. Every half hour or so, they would announce a "dance off" at the front of the play area. The girls LOVED this! They did YMCA, Ho Down Throw Down, and even the Electric Slide! The songs just kept going and they were all dances the girls knew.
Grandma J. came over to see Emms and gave her the cutest Madame Alexander ever (another tradition). I actually let the girls get out all the dolls and look at them again. There are seventeen between the two of them - so fun to see them all!
Emma has been working really hard at school. She got way ahead with her AR points and, as a reward, gets to be on the Safety Patrol. I think being to school a half hour early and staying a half hour late is a funny reward - but she is thrilled! I'm so proud of her! She has grown up so much in this last year. She is an amazing sister, a fantastic babysitter, an i-pod addict, a dancing fool, a daddy's girl (big time) and my best friend. She is such a sweet girl (when she's not being the other Emma - mmm hmmm). So glad she had a happy Birthday and so grateful for all the wonderful people in her life!
Erin has had so much fun this month! At school, her class had a leprechaun (Shawn) that surprised them almost every day for a week or more! The kids made little ladders to hang on their desks for him to climb up... he loved that because he kept leaving messes and treats for them. Erin found the pot o' gold in her classroom and her cute teacher sent me this picture of her with it. Erin has been excited for school every morning because of Shawn the Leprechaun.
Whenever we get together with family (either side), we can always find Erin with the baby. She is such a sweet girl and LOVES babies. She is so good with them and talks about them all the time. (left) Erin with Chloee (right) Erin with Mason.
Josh has played soccer since he was three. Emma has danced since she was six. Erin has tried soccer and dance. She just hasn't found her thing yet... until now. She has been wanting to take piano lessons forever but I have had her wait until she can read well. She is an AMAZING reader. So, we decided it was time to give it a go. She called Grandma B. and asked her to teach her to play the piano. Grandma was happy to do it! Erin has had one lesson and plays almost as well as I do (and I took lessons for a million years). She loves it. She has not missed a day of practicing. And look at her posture. So awesome!
Since my boys love it when I aim my camera at them, I have to take what I can get whenever I can. This is at Aiden's baptism (which I will post pictures from latuh). They are both so handsome and I am so afraid I'm not going to get a picture of Josh in his suit before he grows out of it. We have had it altered three times and I'm not sure there's much left to let out. The boy just keeps growing.
He finished (hopefully) about eleven weeks of Physical Therapy and is finally back to soccer! Between taking time off due to injury after injury and growing like a weed, it has been a little harder to come back than I think he realized it would be. He has been doing about 90 minutes of drills and stretches from physical therapy every day and working up to full training sessions with his team. He played in a scrimmage tonight and came home feeling great! He says his touch is terrible (he's not hard on himself at all), but I was so happy with the fact that he played the whole game and didn't have any pain! The season starts Monday (April 2) and he might actually get to play. What a long winter it was for him. Poor guy. And yet he keeps on smilin' every day... and making me laugh!
Either I had a lot to get caught up on or percacet makes me talk a lot. Or both.
