Today was an exciting day for the girls. We had a street party. The city of Frisco puts on street parties so you get to know your neighbors just in case there is an unexpected guess. Well anyways the girls got to decorate their bikes and we had dinner with the people that live on our street. We had a lot of fun.

Well it has been 3 days since I have not had my wondeful husband home, He lives in VA until we go out there in Dec. I know that he checks this sometimes but I want him to know what a wonderful, caring ,thoughtful, loving husband he is. I love him so very much. He is a very hard working man. Provides very well for our family. We(the girls and I) are missing him very much. We love you Derrick.

Ashlee has broken her left thumb. Not that it helps that she is a lefty!!! Ok how to start this story.... On Oct. 2 I get a call from Aubree from school" Mom can Victoria come over and play"? I say homework is done first then you have to help me clean then that will be ok. Homework is finished and I tell all the girls including Victoria that we need to clean so we can have the realtors take pictures of the house. I saw that Aubree was cleaning and Sydnee was cleaning but where is Ashlee and victoria? I yell at them down stairs and told them to help clean or Victoria will have to go home. My thought was ok they heard me and they will listen and so I went to my closet and started going through things. All of the sudden Ashlee comes upsatirs and told me that her thumb hurt. I asked what did you do? she says,me and Victoria were playing a game and she rolled over my hand and hurt my thumb. It was swollen!! I wish I had the picture on my regular camera but her thumb look like a little sausage. I told her to ice it and we will see what it looks like in the morning. Well morning comes and I thought Ashlee is going to be hurting, Nope, she comes down stairs singing I;m not going to school today,I broke my finger. I said that we do not know if it is broken yet. She laughed and said I know. So we make an appointment leave @ 930am to go see the pediatrician after an hour we are sent down stairs to get x rays, 45 minutes later we go back to the pediatrician. She see's the x rays and tells us that it is broken. A fractured bone. Then all dr. are on lunch break now so you need to go to another hospital at 130 to go see an orthopedic. So we grab lunch and head straight over to the other hospital. Get her hand cast and are finally home @ 300 exactly. What an exhausting day!! She will have her cast on for 2 weeks to go back get it re x-rayed then casted again for another 2 weeks and we go to there. No soccer or P.E. for 2 weeks.

Virginia Beach

I am back from Virginia Beach. What a beautiful place. It reminds me a lot of Kentucky, but there is a beach. We found a couple of homes but the one we are more interested in is 10 minutes form the beach. The housing is so different there than here in TX. Our home that is 3400 sqft and would sale around $280,000. There, a house this big would sale at $600,000 or more. So when we get a house it definitely will be a bit smaller due to prices, but that will be ok. We will pay it off quicker and have no house payment, NICE!!!I told Derrick plan on me being a beach bum already. It is beautiful. The fresh air from the ocean. AWWWW!!!! We have already planned our girls will be surfers. Well Ashlee will be a surfer Aubree, sand castles are her forte. We will keep everyone updated on our moving process. We will miss everyone but there is blogging still, Yeah!!!I forgot to tell you guys that the 22 hour drive up there was great. We took Rylee with us and being 7 months old and traveling that long we thought she would be terrible, WRONG!! She was terrific. She only cried when she had a dirty diaper and when she was hungry. Awesome. Then when we were flying home on the 1st, she was happy the whole time. Smiling at everyone, playing, and it helped that we had a whole row to our selves the whole time. We went from Norfolk, VA to Jacksonville, stopped, let people off and people on, then went from there to Tampa, did the same thing, then went to Houston, and then finally to Dallas. We were up at 530 and I am very thankful for a very happy child that flight home. The flight attendants told her that she should stay on all their flights to make them smile all day. Our little Rylee, hope she stays this good her whole life, cross our fingers. Ok I had to let everyone know what a great baby we have. Thanks!!
