Greetings all! Marie is currently having quiet time, I am listening to the laundry, and JJ just left for the gym so I figured it would be a good time to update the blog. Well it has been about two weeks since school got out and we have actually had no more injuries to report. Marie went to soccer camp last week and I honestly don't think she had that great of a time. First off it was a full day of camp. Three out of the four days it rained in the afternoon which meant they had to go inside. I would not be so upset with the week if when they went inside they did some soccer related stuff, but instead they watched movies. If I had wanted Marie to watch movies I would have kept her at home. She was not happy about being stuck inside either. I just hope that soccer camp next week in Texas will be better. I know the big difference is the one in Texas will only be a half day. I know she is excited about it, but I am not sure if it is the camp she is excited about or if seeing Kiki is what she can't wait for. I can't wait to see what she will learn during the week. We don't really have any other plans for the week except going to Dallas for an Arbonne meeting and mom coming in on Sunday so if anyone else in Austin wants to get together they just need to give Carmen a call.
This week Marie also went to a Girl Scout day camp. They spent the day at the park playing games, doing crafts, and having a scavenger hunt. She was really excited because she got her first patch. We came home and I gave her my Brownie sash with my patches on it. She was so excited and wore it to her doctors appointment. Marie is not sick we just had to go and get a physical before she can attend soccer camp. While we were there we also had her six year old check up. We did not think there would be any shots involved with this appointment, but I was wrong. Oklahoma requires the hepatitis A vaccine and she had the first part last year and had to get the second part this year. Well she has gotten a lot stronger than the last shot because it was much harder to hold her down for this one. Well we got the shot and then went to get sno-cones. She was in SO much pain that she could not even get out of the car at the sno-cone place. (I am being VERY sarcastic right now!) She is much better now, but I have a feeling it will be difficult to get her to the doctor ever again! Just to let everyone know she weighs 48 1/2 pounds and is 3'8" tall. She is getting tall which I think makes JJ a little scared. I don't think he wants to look up to her when she is bad.
I believe I have neglected to tell everyone about Marie's tball team this year. They are the blue Eagles and are an all girls team all from her school. What I am SO proud of is that they are un defeated. They play so well together! We have really enjoyed watching all the games. We have one tonight at 9pm which explains why we made Marie have quiet time today. We had a game at 9 last Monday and it was not until after 10 that we finished so it was a late night. So we had rest time so we won't be falling asleep in the dugout!
Marie's birthday party is well into the planning stages. We are officially having a luau with a heavy emphasis on flip flops. So far we have a hula dancer hired to entertain and teach the kids a little dance. We will have the normal cupcakes, ice cream, and snocones. While I am in Austin I plan to purchase the plates, napkins etc because party city has a good price on them and we don't have a party city here. You also can't order from party city online and the only other place online I can find them is double the price and then $9 shipping on top of that. So this party will be one not to miss so start booking your flights or planning your road trips. So far we have confirmed out of town guests of Ed, Carmen, and my mom is flying in the morning of the party which is also her birthday! So let us know so we can clear off a bed for you!
Well I should get back to resting! I have spent the last two days cleaning the house and it is now done except for the laundry. I know I should be packing, but I need clean clothes to pack first! Packing is the easy part! I also need to clean out my car and give it a quick vacuum because I hate traveling in a dirty car! So if anyone needs me in the next week they can drop me an email, but I can't promise I will be very quick about getting back to you! Sorry to say that, but I don't know what the week will be like. I will try to post some pictures from the trip as I take them, but if I don't get a chance I will when I get back. Oh by the way my surgery is currently scheduled for the 19th. I have to get confirmation from the doctor, but if you don't read anything about a date change just say a prayer for me on the 19th. I will post once I feel up to it to let everyone know how it went! Take care! Love to all!

So are you making use of the darling flip-flop wheel from the summer mini?! Marie's shot sounds traumatic! LOL! I haven't taken any of the kids in for well-child appointments in a LONG time! I think the last time was just over a year ago, we did Tobin's 3-year check-up along with Arden's and Charis' check ups (18 mos and 4 years, respectively, so Charis' was late). As far as I know, none of the kids need shots, so I haven't bothered taking them in yet! It's such a pain! Oh, well, I'm sure I'll get them in eventually. I would like to know their height and weight, etc.
