VCUG

Emory had her annual VCUG (not sure what it stands for) procedure to see if her kidney reflux has gotten better and ultra sound to see of her kidneys were growing properly.

Something on the ultra shows up orange and blue, and the girls say that it proves that Emory is an Auburn fan! She bleeds orange and blue!!

The cute patient in her hospital gown. I wanted to steal it so bad!!!! She looked so stinkin cute in it. CC was on her best behavior while we were there. She had to sit out in the Hallway while they were doing the X-ray (and luckily I had her iPod in my purse). She never once complained and was perfect!

After a very stressful 45 minutes of trying to get Emory to tee-tee, which she never did, the nurse finally gave up and had her tee tee in the potty and get back on the table for X-rays. The results- her kidney reflux is down from a level 3 to level 2. So it's correcting itself and hopefully correct itself all the way! YaY!:):):)

After lunch with daddy and a few convos from Emory (who yelled) about "those people stuck a thing in my tu-tu" and a few very loud "Shhhhhhhh" from me and bryan, we went home to play with our new sprinkler toy!

Whew- this day wore me out!!

bowling

We took the girls bowling Saturday night....not quite the same as laying out on the beach like most people are doing this Memorial Day weekend, but we still had a great time!

Emory had never been bowling. Just like she normally is in new situations, she was very quite and just checking it all out for the first 15 minutes.

Two cute bum-bums, huh?!

Then she figured it out and didn't want us to help her anymore!!

Emory bowling and showing us how she does her hands!

CC bowling

Emory dancing to the music!!

E and I lost interested about half way through the game, while CC and Bryan were trying their best to win! I lost:):), but in my defense I didn't have bumpers and I let CC bowl a few of my turns--- I'm sure I still would have lost though!!

Then we played arcade games for a while. This huge claw game cost $1 to play and obviously had used stuffed animals in it along with empty coke bottles. CC still wanted to use her coins to play. Kinda glad she didn't win!!

CC beat Daddy, fair and square- he NEVER lets her win, at air hockey!

fishing with Daddy

Daddy took Christian fishing early Saturday morning. They surprised me and stayed out there for 3 hours! CC got bored with fishing but just loved being out there with just her daddy. She didn't want to come home:) They also went 'muddin' in Daddy's truck, which Christian LOVED!!!

They didn't catch anything but had the best time hanging out together.

Out of my mind

Today was the last day of school!!! It's officially summer- YAY!!!
And guess what I spent the majority of my morning doing- you will never guess!!!
I spend a lot of time joining the Justin Bieber Fan Club! Yep, that's right, BEEEEEEcause.......I got a super super secret code to order tickets for when Justin Bieber comes to BIRMINGHAM!!!!!!!! Y'all, like I told my friend, Fran (who gave me the heads up) "Christian is going to sh*t her pants"- I know- not very lady like, but it is true!
After spending $230 on the good seats for CC, Daddy, and me I started feeling stupid. But then when Christian saw the commercial and giggled to herself for 20 minutes, I realized it was stupid, but I don't care at all! She will always remember it and so will I!!
Bryan was a tad bit upset that I spent so much, but I think he's over it after CC's giddiness!
When Bryan asked CC what would be the one question she would ask Justin, she said "can I have a kiss?"!!!!!- oh no!!
Also- if you read this DO NOT Say anything to CC. The concert is not until january, so we are giving the tickets as a Christmas gift. Mainly so we don't have 6 months of "is today the Justin Bieber concert?"- so Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Last day

Today was Christians's last day of school. I knew it was going I tough on both of us. She has cried every morning on the way to school about how much she was going to miss Mrs. Morton. Last night I had a vision of her coming out to bus duty (where I am in the afternoons) and just sobbing. I thought we were in the clear but it only took a second for the tears to come. She was truly upset about not seeing Mrs. Morton everyday. Then as I was walking back to my room, people said there were about 4 other kids from her class crying too. Just shows what a wonderful teacher and person Mrs. Morton is. She really does love her students just like her own. It sure was hard to not let myself cry just as hard as she was- but because I will miss seeing Christian everyday:(:(
On the way home, when it was just us, Christian cried more than I can ever remember her crying. Every now and then she would say, between her sobs, "I just am going to miss Mrs. Morton so much. I just want her to be right next to me. She really is the best teacher ever."
Then she said, "Mom, when we get out of the car I want to give you a really big hug because I think it will make me feel better."
She did calm down and begin to feel a little better once we got Emory and got ice cream.
