Daddy's Girls

I have taken some pictures of Derrick and the Girls before he is off to Virginia Beach. He is excited to start working there but very sad that we are not going with him right away. I had to take some pictures of him and the gilrs so he could see them every day. I would have been in them but it seemed like all our neighbors were gone and did not have anyone take the pictuers. Oh well, we are taking family pictures in Nov. so it gives me a little more time to lose some weight before you guys see me. Ha Ha!!!

What do you think?

Well I just painted my kitchen. I am loving it. The way it happens with the Udy's is that we like to ge the house just the way we like it and then we move. It stinks. What can we do about it, NOTHING!!! If you can see the picture let me know what you think.

Aubree's Birthday

Well we just had Aubree's 10 birthday. What a fun time we had. Her birthday fell on Wednesday so Derrick and I took her out of school at 12 and took her to lunch. She wanted to go to Olive Garden.What a wonderful lunch we had. After that we had to take Derrick to the airport. He told her that mom will take you shopping and she should get what she wanted. Well Heather is all alone with 4 girls and shopping just for Aubree, yeah right Will not do that again. What a night mare. Well she decided to have a slumber party on Friday and had 5 girls over. 3 came and she had her sisters. I decided to have them decorate face mask. I will tell you that I think they did very well. It is fun to see what kind of imagination they have with decorating. We had a blast. The girls stayed up till 1 in the morning watching Goonies and when it was over I told them it was time for bed and it took them 30 minutes longer. I am not a big fan of birthday parties but we will have them until they turn 12 I think I am not sure maybe sooner. What a fun mom I am!!

Sydnee's Arm

This is my poor little Syd. She climbed up on my t.v. table that is only 11 inches off the floor and I told her to get off of the table or you are going to get hurt. next thing I know is that Aubree is telling me that Syd is hurt and she is not moving and she is crying. I walk around the counter in the kitchen and she is just lying there not moving and really not crying just whining. I lift her up and notice that her arm is not hanging right. Holly had just left my house and I was not going to take 2 extra girls to the hospital with me. I call her and she came back while I went to the hospital. When I got there the x rays said that she had broke it straight through so we had to go to the children's hospital in Dallas. Derrick rode with her in the ambulance I I followed. we spent all night there or Derrick did and I went home to be with the other girls and the next morning I took them to school and went back to the hospital to find out that we have to have 2 screws put into her elbow to hold the bones together and wait to get it casted because of the swelling. We go back in 2 weeks and the get a cast put on. She had that cast on for 6 weeks and took her back to get another cast put on for 3 more weeks. This is what the out come is. It has been awhile since she had that happen and her arms works great and she does not get on the t.v. table any more.

Rylee's Popsicle

Rylee is going to town with this fruit pop cycle. She loves cold things when your teething. I swear she will teeth forever. she is now 7 months old and no teeth yet. She was teething 3 months ago it seems.

Aubree's Boo Boo

Aubree decided to swing on my counter tops one day and her arms gave out and she fell straight onto the tile floor in our kitchen. I took her to the quick care to make sure she did not fracture or brake her jaw. Everything turned out great. nothing broke or fractured, but a long time to heal.

Virginia Beach... here we come!

Just to let everyone know the Udy's are on the move again. Vegas to Kentucky, Kentucky to Texas. Now Texas to Virginia Beach. One day I think we will decide to settle down and find a place to stay. Derrick got a job offer out there that we can't turn down and so, we go. I am happy for him because this is were he has been wanting to go for awhile and the excitement I hear in his voice when he is there is awesome. I just hope I feel the same way too. The girls are excited for the beach, but here comes the fall and cooler weather. Not much beach this year but lots to come the following years. I am very sad to leave my sister and her family. I feel like I have become so close with her. She is a fun person to be around. It is going to be hard to leave knowing that she won't come with, HA, HA!! Really it will be hard! We have loved it here in Texas so much. The weather is beautiful here and everything is right here. We do not have to travel very far to do much. I(Heather) have never been to Virginia Beach, but a lot of people are telling me that is beautiful there and I will love it. Derrick will be off on Oct. 1 and the girls and I are staying behind hopefully until Thanksgiving, but we will see. I don't always get all the luck I want. Anyways we will miss everyone here in Texas and I will really miss living closer to home.

Our Trip to Las Vegas

OK I need to go back and tell you guys what a crazy idea Holly and I had!! You all know that Derrick and I went to New York, well our plane arrived home around 11:00 pm and we got home at 11:30 and Holly and me and all the kids decided to go to Vegas. At 12 midnight we left and drove straight through.We arrived at our parents house around 6 :30 - 7 the next night. CRAZY but we had a lot of fun. We stayed there for 8 days and the saddest thing was that our family went to the Montana cabin 5 days after we got there, we knew about it though, but we were sad to see them go but happy also. We know how much fun they were going to have. Skiing, jet skiing, fishing,tubing, you know all the fun stuff you do when you are at the cabin you grew up with and remembering everything. Fun times. I really do miss living near the whole family. Don't get me wrong I loved living near Holly and Scot, and Melly and her boys in Kentucky, but it is different when the whole family gets together and laugh over old times. Anyway not to make things depressing, but Yes I miss family.

Sydnee's First Day of Preschool

My day has started off with a emotional 4 year old,Sydnee. Today we start preschool, do you think she has been sooooo excited to start, oh yes!!! We get up and she is excited and a split second later she is crying and telling me that she does not want to go to preschool. We dont have a back pack and sparkly pencils for me to go to school, I dont want to go, then we are happy again and she wants to go, hold on now we don't. Ahhhh!!! I felt like pulling my hair out but I kept my cool and explained that preschool is so much fun , you get to make fun things and you learn how to write your name and #'s. She thought about it, i don't want to go. I say, I will take you to mcdonalds after you get out of school and I will let you play for along time. NO, I don't want to go. I just took her and as soon as we got there off she went with all the kids and has no more thoughts of not wanting to be there. Happy all day long now that she went and she got to do her first homework, she is all about it now, loving it!!!
