What a Weekend

Who knew so many things could happen in a 3 day weekend!!!

Volleyball.....Flu.....Fish......

Whew I'm tired just thinking about it

Volleyball

So Hailey had her first Volleyball tournament this past weekend...Friday night we were there til about 8ish and then she was back on the bus at 7:15 the next morning. What a trooper she has become!!! I've seen Hailey excited to wake up that early for 2 things in her entire life.....Six Flags and Volleyball....gotta love it!!

So she had sleep over Saturday night...Lily and Carol......which means all night screaming, laughing, making videos and eating as much sugar as their little stomach's can stomach!!!

Each year with Hailey's life their is a new joy with watching her grow. It's the first time she laughs, her first word, her first step and you wonder how much better can it get.

Well let me tell you; laying in bed listening to her laugh so hard you wonder if she is going to pee her pants with girls who you hope love her as much as they should; is a feeling that fills me with such happiness. Hearing her be so happy that she literally sounds like she is going to burst is absolutley amazing.

Ya know I think I'm going to secretly tape them one night. Tape them just being goofy 13 year old girls laughing in a way that they could NEVER fake. Then maybe if life ever seems so hard on her that she can't see the light; I'll play that tape of her just being Hailey and maybe she'll remember that life isn't always so bad.

Flu

Well then Sunday afternoon Hailey started coughing a little and she swore..."I'm NOT GETTING SICK" well about 2 1/2 hours after that statment came this one....

"Mom; I think I'm sick"

Uhh-huhhh!!! So she went down for the count. Ran about 102.6 fever and finally took her to the doctor and sure enough...it's the FLU!!! Dang it. She'll miss her game tonight and practice tomorrow, but her coach said they are missing 5 girls due to the same stuff. At least when she's running laps to make it up she won't be alone.

Good 'ole school sports...You play you pay!!!

Fish

Jason did get some fishing in; finally. He went early Sunday morning for about 4-5 hours and then again Monday morning for most of the day. Caught some incredible Whiteing (spell check please!!!) on PINS...other than that just a killer sunburn. On Monday they went out on a friends boat looking to shoot some stingray with a bow for Sharkathon bait....instead they ran into a school of Red Fish!!!

Needless to say; we ate like KINGS.

Pictures to come

Oh and what about me you ask.....well Friday night after the Vball tourney...I did make it out to the Island to see the Bunco girls!! I am an official member by the way so I'll be hosting it at our house pretty soon.

Note to self: time to go shopping for the house and cover up the swatches of paint that are on the kitchen wall!!! geez

Saturday was more Vball and the girls showed up. I did manage to get in my first run on Sunday morning.....ran about 2 1/2 miles by Hailey's school and man did it feel GREAT!!! No Ipod; just me and my gasps of breathe trying to just make the route I had already planned out in the car. If I do say so myself; I did really good and I was pretty proud of myself for just doing it!!! More of that to come I'm sure of it!!!

Other than that when you have a house full of girls and a sick kid not much you can do about it. But I can't complain to much....cuz

What a Weekend!!!
