Rhett's 6th month check up

Rhett went for his 6th month check-up yesterday and weighed 15lbs. 6oz. (15%), was 27in. (70%) & his head circumference was 42.8cm (25%). He again received his Polio, Pneumococcal, DTaP, Rotavirus & Hib vaccines. I asked the pediatrician once more on her advice about his head & she said she really thinks we should go through with the DOC treatment. So I guess we will probably be getting a helmet soon. She also noticed a click in his hip so sent me straight over to Cooks for an x-ray of his hip. I got the results back this afternoon and everything looks okay. Thank goodness! His weight still dropped a little so she just wants us to try to get all the calories we can in him. Other than that he is a pretty healthy kid. No teeth yet, almost sitting on his own & a giggle box.

Cheering in the rain

Today, Harleigh's team stuck it out & cheered in the rain. Last week was scorching hot and this week soaking wet. The girls, players & parents were real good sports though even though we all think the game should of been cancelled. There was lightening off in the distance but I guess not close enough to call it quits! Peighton, Harleigh & Rylee

Daddy & Daughter Day

This afternoon Jarrod took Harleigh along & met up with Shallon & Gage to do some dove hunting. The kids looked like they had so much fun but Jarrod & Shallon didn't have to much luck. They only shot one dove. Bummer! Harleigh & Gage

Pep-Rally

Harleigh has her 1st game this Saturday so tonight was the pep rally. The girls get to perform a few cheers for the players and then give them a good luck goodie bag. I was so nervous for them since this was their first time cheering in front of a bunch of people but they did so good and we were all very proud!

Life in the Fast Lane

Well, life is crazy for me right now as I am trying to juggle home life, work & school. So, truthfully, I haven't had any extra time to spend on blogging which upsets me since I love doing it. I started back up this fall at UTA (University of Texas at Arlington) and am taking 7 hours. My goal is to apply for their nursing program in spring 2012. I actually go to campus for one of my classes on T/Th with a lab following on Th. On these days I have to leave my house at 7:45am to make it there for my 9:30 class. Pure craziness! The other class I am taking is an online course. The first week of it all was very overwhelming but things have gotten a lot better. Please wish me luck!

Harleigh started the 1st grade & loves it. She rides the bus everyday to & from school, has to read every night for 15 min. & has a spelling test every Friday. She also is cheer leading this fall for the SYA Steelers and has practice every T/TH from 6-7pm with games being held on Saturday. She is doing awesome at cheering and actually won the Most Spirit award at cheer camp this past Saturday. I was so proud of her! She also is about to start going to children's church again on Wednesday nights...so she has a busy little schedule going on herself.

Rhett on the other hand just goes with the flow. Amy comes to my house 3 days a week to watch him while I work & then I take him over there on the other 2 days while I go to class. So he is really close to his Aunt Amy & his little buddy Trevor. Rhett will soon be getting a cranial helmet here in the next couple of weeks which means we will be driving to Dallas weekly for adjustments. How we are going to work that in...I don't know yet! He will probably have to wear his helmet for 3 months. He is just now starting baby food & so far likes peaches & bananas. He is very close to sitting up on his own & is teething like crazy. He doesn't have any teeth yet but it shouldn't be much longer. He also started sleeping in his crib a few weeks ago and is doing awesome!

Jarrod just got on a deer lease this year so hunting now takes up most of his free time. He went there last weekend to set up his deer blind & feeder and is very excited for opening weekend. He has been dove hunting a few times and Harleigh gets to go with him this weekend. She is so excited! Another past time for him of course is fantasy football. So if there is football on, Jarrod is watching it!

Sideline flirts

These pictures are so cute not to post. This is Boldin & Rhett watching their big sisters at cheer leading practice. They are always tagging along and always seem to be very content while the girls are practicing. The older girls give them a lot of attention also so I'm sure that is another reason they are always good. Ha ha! Boldin & Rhett staring at the girls

Cheerleading Camp

Today, Harleigh had a 2 hour cheerleading clinic and learned a bunch of fun things. They learned how to stunt, a dance, jumps & new cheers. At the end of the clinic they handed out 3 awards...Best jump, Best motions & most spirited! Guess what??? Harleigh won the Most Spirited! I was so proud of her and I think she was a little stunned herself. Way to go Harleigh! Their 1st pyramid
