Just a few pictures

Wow-- REALLY....3 whole weeks.....goodness we have been busy, busy around here!  You know it's bad when Kris says, "Hey you haven't updated our blog lately!"

The pants that she has on....yeah, she came home from the hospital in them!!  LOL

I know, no pictures of Kaylee but the kid is NEVER at home!!  

Kaylee is on spring break this week so I took the week off to spend with her!  Even though the weather has not been very springish at all...we are still enjoying time off!!!

We have our first softball tournament this upcoming weekend, I will be so excited to see our girls on the field.  They have worked really hard conditioning during the winter but have only been on the field maybe 5 times, if that.  But you have to start somewhere...and for us it will be this weekend!!

I hope to get back in my regular blogging mode this week!

Basketball ends

Basketball has officially ended and the gray team took 2nd place!!  I was so very proud of these girls, they all learned so much.  But of course I have to brag on my girl.  I think she had nine points and about 19 rebounds!!!  Seriously I don't think it was quite 19 but she had a lot!! ha!  I hope think that basketball is going to be her sport!  Don't get me wrong she loves softball too but in my opinion she is a much better basketball player!

After the game we celebrated with our team at McDonalds.  And then it was off to softball practice for three hours!

Sunday we watched the MTSU Lady Raiders in the SunBelt Tournament at Nana & Papaw's on pay per view.  Our girls were top seeded going into the tourney and unfortunately they just couldn't get it together today.  They all had their nails painted purple, wore purple ribbons in their hair, (Tina's favorite color) had black number 20 patches on their jersey's and instead of their usual warm ups they wore black t-shirts with "20gether" on the front and "Stewart" on the back.  Also they had Tina's uniform on the first chair of the bench....ahhh soooo sad!!!  I think the girls just had too much on their plates this week but its not completely over, we will just have to wait and see how the rest of the chips fall to see what is next for our Lady Raiders!

No matter what happened today....I know a nine year old that is still a HUGE MTSU Lady Raider fan!!!

Gooooo BLUE!!!

After the game Kaylee had softball practice again, Kris took care of that. While I ran to the grocery store with coupons in hand and I saved almost $50.00!!!  KB stayed at Nana's and had a nap!

I think this next week will be the first week in a long time that we will have nothing to do but come home every night this week!!!

Missing in Action

Whewww busy, busy...I have a lot of catching up to do.  So hang on I'm going to journal the last two weeks pretty quickly.

Of course as you know Kara Brooke has been pretty sick, the following pictures are her taking her breathing treatment and her cow machine.  She is doing a lot better even though I have had to take her back to the Dr. two times this past week with an ear infection.  She kept spiking a fever again and basically the first antibiotics were just not strong enough to kill the infection since she has been on so many different drugs in the last month.  But as of today she has been fever free for 24 hours.  Thank goodness!

Last Saturday, of course we played basketball and lost again to the one and only team that has beat us three times!  Wheww....just couldn't get past them.  Kaylee had an ok game, had more rebounds than points but we were still very proud!

Saturday afternoon we had to go help out with Kaylee's travel softball team with a chili supper and corn hole tournament.  we had a very good turn out and raised quite a bit of money for our girls!  

Kaylee has never played corn hole EVER but they had a kids tourney going too and she and her friend Jaley won second place!!  They won $10.00 each and they were sooooo excited.  They wanted to make sur ethat everyone knew that they got beat by a sixth grade and a eighth grade boys!!!  ha!

Sunday afternoon we went to the MTSU game.  It was Senior night and the last home game of the year. It was also Kara Brooke's very first MTSU game!  She did so good and loved watching "the horsey" our  mascot is a horse named Lighting and she tried to keep up with him most of the game.

On the following Wednesday we got very bad news that one of the MTSU players, Tina Stewart was killed by her roommate.  Such a senseless and tragic act of violence that was so very hard to explain to Kaylee.  She just couldn't understand why someone would do something like that to Tina, "because she was such a great player!"  All of this happened two days before the team was to hit the the road to Hot Springs, AR to play in the SunBelt Conference Tourney.  So sad....they had a memorial service in her honor  on Thursday at Murphy Center.  Please pray for Tina's family, coaches, team mates and friends!

If you look closely, Tina is in the white uniform facing the camera.  She did have a great game Sunday too!!  RIP Tina...we will miss you #20!

Kaylee again with her favorite...Anne Marie

Kaylee and Ebony!

Valentine's Day & sick, sick & more sick

This has been one crazy week for the Adams bunch.  Monday of course was love day and Kara Brooke had to go back to the Dr.  You know she had the flu and then pneumonia last week and she was wheezing and coughing again over the weekend and last Sunday night.  So Valentine's morning she headed back to the Dr. for more xrays, sure enough pneumonia in the other lung!  Good grief....so the Dr. put her on a very high powered antibiotic that Kris had to wait for to come from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and she got a shot in the clinic.  It is the same drug that they use in IV's when kiddos are in the hospital with pneumonia.

That evening, Kaylee started feeling really bad and was coughing her head off too.  I was thinking she probably just had a sinus infection so I gave her some meds and she went to bed.  Tuesday morning she got up with a fever.  REALLY???  I stayed home with both girls, Kris took Kaylee to the Dr. and guess what......yeap Kaylee had the flu too!  Two very sick little girls at our house to say the least.  I went back to work Wednesday and Kris stayed the rest of the week with them.  I'm so thankful for him and that his business hasn't got started real good for the season just yet.  

Thursday rolled around and now Kris has the flu....I promise I am not telling a story or exaggerating in anyway....wished I was but nope not at all!  Thankfully by Thursday Kaylee had started feeling much better but Kara Brooke wasn't showing much improvement at all.

Thursday night I wasn't happy with KB's improvement at all and I knew something wasn't right so I called the Dr. and she said to try to make it through the night and be at her office first thing Friday morning.  So Friday morning KB and I headed back to Dr.  She sent us back down for more chest xrays, the 3rd set in 10 days and then back up to Dr. B's office.  Thankfully the very expensive drug from Vandy was doing it's job and there was almost no sign of the pneumonia left.  Basically what was going on was KB had a kid version of COPD.  Her airways had swollen and had infection inside of them.  She put her on the breathing machine and gave her a liquid steroid in the clinic.  Her O2 saturation was kind of low but not low enough to go to the hospital.  Dr. B. sent us home on the steroid and the breathing machine.  So far so good.  KB still has a cough but not near as bad and I do still hear wheezing form time to time.  Hopefully, (fingers crossed) we are on the road to recovery.  

Kaylee played basketball Saturday morning...by her choice....and said she felt great.  She had a great game too.  Actually all of the girls did fantastic, so much improvement by these girls in 6 weeks- we won 27-2.  Two more games left and it will be softball season.

Tomorrow is Presidents Day and both kids are going back to school and Kris has to work and I AM OFF!  Yeahhhh.....definitely need me time!  

I am very THANKFUL that everyone is feeling better here and very thankful that it wasn't any worse than what it was.  Even though I thought I was going to pull my hair out at times......

Busy Weekend

Friday night was the community benefit for the Korley Davis family.  And let me just say WOW!!!  I can not get over all of the people first of all.  I bet there was over 2000 people in attendance!  And then WOW...WOW...WOW....

at the people opening their hearts and wallets!  Stuff was selling for thousands of dollars and hundreds of dollars.  It was absolutely amazing and such a blessing to be a part of a community that came together for such a sweet family in their huge time of need!

Kara Brooke got her face painted and she was hilarious after it dried.  She would rub her check and say, "Momma, is my paint still on?" ha!  Our girl is too funny and had the best time!!

Kara Brooke her her buddy Zola!

Aren't they sweet?  Ha..don't let those sweet smiles fool ya...they are both ring tail tooters!!!

Kaylee was at the benefit too but she was not with us she chose to hang out with her friends in the kids zone most of the night.  So I don't have any pictures of her!

Saturday morning we had another basketball game.  We did win and the girls all did good-they are improving so much every week!

As soon as the game was over we headed to Kaylee's sweet friend Kayden's birthday party!  It was so neat they had an open stage with mics and a dance floor!  It kind of reminded me of my junior high days when everybody kindof sat around at first and then it was on after that!!!  The kids had a blast!!!

Kayden, the birthday girl is in the middle!

We loved her her tie dyed, peace sign cake!!!  Great choice Kayden!!

The crew!

It's hard to see them all since the lighting was so dim!

Of course KB was there too!

We had to leave the party early to make it to another birthday party of one of favorite friends, Jaley!

Jaley and Kaylee went to preschool together and have been playing softball together now for a couple of years.  We LOVED Jaley's cake too!  PERFECT...for the sports girl that she is!

Of course they had a friendly game of b-ball going!

Kara Brooke and sweet Mattie!  KB loves babies!

And here is Jaley's party crew!!

Kaylee spent the night with the birthday girl and KB and I headed to meet Kris, Nana and Papaw for dinner.  KB was so tired she slept through dinner and then went back to sleep so after we got home.  To much partying for her!

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so tonight we had to get all of our Valentine's ready and cookies baked for school tomorrow!  I was kind of surprised that Kaylee's class was still going to exchange cards but very happy that they are and not letting them grow up too fast!

KB really wanted Minnie Mouse cards but we couldn't find any so she settled for Oliva!  Kaylee chose Wizards of Waverly Place!

And my husband surprised my with my Valentines gift today....

a new Vera Bradley bag and wallet!!!  I LOVE it and I LOVE him!

He is truly the best!

THANKS honey!

I LOVE you!! 

Happy LOVE Day to you all tomorrow too!!
