Fifths Disease and Misc...

Hello All... we have had a crazy week or so.

Jaden broke out with a rash about a week ago. Of course I didn't think anything

about it until it got worse and worse. It went from one part of his body to another.

It started on his back, then stomach, then face, and now his arms and feet.

Took him to the doctor and he has Fifth Disease!

When that doctor said that... all I heard was DISEASE! I had

not clue what the heck that was. Anyway, it is really nothing.

He has no symptoms and feels fine.

Here are a couple pics!

This is Jadens arm. You can't really see it too well. It is much worse

in person.

Part 2 of this post. Through facebook my school classmates have re-connected.
We have gone bowling twice. Once last month and once this month. It is anyone who went to
Antioch from 1985-90.
I know....... we are old.
Anyway, here are a few pics from our fun. It has been great seeing faces and meeting friends
again. We have had a great time.



This is Darrell... he was a Special Ed student back in 86'. He came to the bowling
thing Saturday night and we had to get all the women with him and take
a picture. Let me tell you what .... it made his NIGHT!
See me in the very back. ha ha

This is some ole' friends that I went to school with . We had such a great time
catching up on life and family. Have not seen these people in about 24-25 yrs.
******************************************************************
Hope everyone is well! Oh yea, let me tell you that I am still having senior meltdowns.
Matt picks up his invitations on Thursday and he is got a girlfriend, and is going to
2 proms.
I am very happy for him.

More misc news!

Yes it is that time of year... BASEBALL! Scrimmage games started on Saturday for

Matthew. The nerves hit me Saturday morning when I knew Matthew would

pitch 1 inning and I was praying that his arm would hold up.

I worked myself into a head ache.

So I got to the game and he finally pitched inning 3. The coach

only lets his pitchers pitch one inning during scrimmage games.

Well as Matt went up to the mound, got the ball my heart sunk into my

stomach. I was so nervous what it might be like.

I have to say that I was so PROUD. He did great. No pain in

his arm, and he did really , really good.

I want him to have such a good season because this is his senior year and it is the end of a lot

of good times. He will still play, but high school ball = great friends, memories to last

a life time and so much fun.

Here are a few pictures.

Ok....here we go!

From the stretch......

Love the game

Here is Jaden at the High school basketball game. We clinched the district

Friday night. We start tourn. play this Friday. Jaden loves this and the players

love him back. We are gonna miss this too!

Here is Jaden at his own basketball game. He loves the game.

One thing I am wondering..... How I am gonna make it through the next 2
months before Matt graduates!
It is becoming very real!

Countdown to May 15th.....

My baby is 8

Jaden is 8 today. He was long waited for and I am so proud to be his Mom.

great kid he is.

Senior Moments of Bowling

Ok, I am warning you now that this is kinda long. And I added my pictures before I started to type and it did the ones I needed at the first part and it put them at the bottom. Oh well.

Let me start by saying that I am very much starting to feel the pain of my son being a senior and all these wonderful memories that we are having are starting me make me very emotional.

Matthew made the state Individual Bowling Tournament this year. He went in it being #5 in the whole state! Yep, #5.

It started out with 48 bowling on Thursday and then went to 24. He mad the top 24 and again was # 5 when they re-seeded the kids. He then bowled and then they took the top 6. He didn't do as good and we figured he would end up #9. We heck no.... he got the 6th and final spot. When they called his name I just about tackled him.

I was so proud. He did so good.

He then had to be back on Friday at 8:30am. So it was down to 6 bowlers to be the state champ. He did pretty good , but he ended up finishing 6th.

Here are a few pics.

I am also adding some in another post of some other things.

Needless to say, bowling is over and here we come BASEBALL!!!!!!

Oh and did I tell you that Matthew has also been in the paper 4 times this week and his is the Athlete of the week for our area. And he also got interviewed by a college coach for bowling.

Matthew and the other 5 getting the awards. He is the one on left... TOO TALL jones.

Matt doing an interview for paper

Sitting and waiting to see if he made it to the final. This is where he was sitting when I got up and tackled him when we heard his name as the last spot to get in.

Another interview!

This is some of his closest friends that came to support him. He has some great friends. He had lots of people there. Even when his name was called there were several tears shed.

Here is Matt in action! Yay, he is awesome!

Look who is 1 yr old today...............

Dawson!

Happy Birthday to you.

Here are a few pic's I have from over the year.

We have enjoyed him so much.

We love you Dawson!!!

LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING YOU GROW

Class of 2009

Class of 2009
16th Bday, see ya Mom

Brothers. 2004

Yes it 2009 and what does that mean? That means my first baby graduates this year. Everyone has told me that after Christmas that it will fly by. So I guess I better grab a hold and hang on huh. It has gone by fast. I sit sometimes and wonder what it is gonna be like without Matthew in school right down the road?

I wonder what it is gonna be like to not have so much say so in his life. What will it be like to wonder what the heck he is doing? I am not looking forward to that. What is it gonna be like the first week he is gone. Waiting on him to call me. And most of all I wonder what it will be like for his little Brother Jaden? It is gonna be an adjustment for all of us.

Matthew does not know where he wants to go yet , but he has several things in mind. We are still waiting to see what this spring brings with Baseball. He is now released from his therapy twice a week and is throwing everyday. He says he feels good, so that makes me very HAPPY!

As we sit back and enjoy what the last few months of his senior year have to offer please keep us in your prayers. Pray that Matthew will continue to get better and better.

I am so thankful that he is such a good kid (even though we don't see eye to eye all the time), he makes good grades, he did good on his ACT, he is just a great young man.

He has kept a job for over a year and a half. First job and still has it.
