I have an AWESOME Husband....

It has now been 2 weeks since Chris' accident....see previous post for details.....and he is doing great....He has been going to therapy for 1 week so far...he has to go 3 times a week for 3 weeks for right now....We have to go back and see the doctor on July 22 to see what's next...more therapy, work...who Knows...???........Just wanted to let every know that he is doing great.....I went for my 5 month check up yesterday and they did another ultrasound to confirm the baby's sex...and it was a boy and still is...lol..Chris and I think we have a name picked out....maybe we won't change our minds......Jackson Daniel Rodrick....Chris' grandfather, who raised Chris along with his grandmother, names was Daniel...so we for sure won't the middle name to be Daniel...and so far we love the name Jackson.......hard to believe that I am already half way through this pregnancy...Jackson will be here before we know it......We are a blessed family.....God Bless.....

Life Happens

June 25, 2009 was a life changing day for us...not in a good way either. The phone rang at 11:30pm...Chris was at work and Riley and I were home...didn't make it to the phone in time so I called Chris back...he was calling me on his cell phone which was strange because he was supposed to be at work...He told me to calm down..that he had just gotton 3 of his fingers cut off at work...he just kept telling me to calm down...I told him to give me a minute to freak out before he tells me to calm down....He was so calm .....so I went rushed to the ER(Niki got me there in about 13 minutes from my house)....he was so calm.....me, not so much....We were sent to USA in Mobile where they cleaned up his fingers and sewed them up...the fingers that were cut off were not able to be found...they went through a suction hose and probably ended up in the boiler(fire).....so they wrapped his hand up, kept him overnight, and sent him home ...we go back Monday on July 6 to have the bandages taken off and see what's next...He is amazing...no complaining...and hardly any pain.....The only time that I get really emotional is when I think about what could've happened.....instead of being called to the ER...someone could've showed up on my doorstep giving me really awful news...so I am thanking God every chance I get that I still get to have Chris with me.....I told him between us we have 17 fingers...I think we can handle anything together.......I told him if He can't do it, then WE can.....life can change in an instant.....I'm just praying that he has little pain as he has had.......Chris has a fierce determination...so I'm not worried about him in that capacity.....I told him I give him 2 weeks after his hand heals before he is able to do anything he wants to do....The fingers that were cut off are on his right hand...he has his thumb and pinky left and about an 1/2 inch of the other three fingers....at least that's what we think...we won't get to see his hand until July 6....so please be praying for a speedy recovery for Chris......thanks and God bless....

It's A Boy!!!

Well, we found out yesterday that baby #2 is also boy #2.......so guess I'm gonna be really outnumbered in our house for years to come....Riley and Chris couldn't be happier.....we had the ultrasound tech. whisper to Riley what the baby was and then he got to tell us......He was grinning so big and said...I told ya'll it was gonna be a boy.......She froze the screen and then told Riley..I saw "something" and was pretty sure it was a boy...lol......Dr. said everything looks great..so I'm happy about that.....now the hunt for a name begins....I really want the middle name to be Daniel, after Chris' grandfather...Just hope I can find something I like to go with that.....Riley has lots of names that he likes but just none I think I would be comfortable giving nour child...he has the name: Sandre DaSante......and last night when were laying in bed he came up with the name of Kenny Keyhole Rodrick...poor child....lol....hopefully we can find a normal name.......God bless ........

May Update...

Hi all, hope all is well with everyone....I got a new car today(well,. new to me) it's a 2006 Ford Fusion....Loven' it so far..lol...not that I've had it long...a few hours..lol...We're starting to get ready for VBS this year...so I'm excited about that....We're doing Studio Go...it's about a game show....so it should be pretty fun....Been picking out the crafts to do cause I'm the crafts teacher...I'm almost 3 months along in my pregnancy....Can't wait until I can find out what the baby is....Riley is so hilarious...he says if it's a boy we're gonna name him Sandre DaSante Rodrick...poor, poor, kid.....I told Riley he could call hime whatever but we were not naming him that....also if you ask him what kind of baby we're having, he says a Mexican...lmao....I told Chris that would be really funny......all for now....talk to ya'll soon...

Exciting News

Well, lets see.....Riley didnt' get into K-4...he's like the 4th boys alternate..so highly unlikely that 4 boys will not go that got in...but that's ok...more time with Mom...lol.....He played his first T-ball game last night...it was so much fun....he said we won, didn't we Mom...I said yeah....in reality the score was 18 to 18....lol.....they all bat and they all get on base no matter what....no outs.....when the whole team bats then thats the inning lol...they each get to bat 2 times....it so much fun... Riley doesn't need someone to tell him he did good...he loves to toot his own horn..lol......if someone tells him he did good he says..yep I did....so modest...lol.....We found out exciting news yesterday...WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY...YAY...We are due at the end of Nov......I told Riley and he said really and then turned around and continued to watch Spongebob....guess the thought of a new brother or sister just couldn't compete with Spongebob...that's all for now...love to all..

The Dollar Tree Rocks....

Well, Riley has had a really full week this week and not a fun one at all. On Wed., he went to the dentist for a check up(no cavities)...yay.....and today(Thurs.) he had to go to the doctor for his 4 year old check up and had to get 4 shots...ouchie....It's amazing what the Dollar Tree can heal..lol...I let him go in after his doctor appointment and get 6 things...and suddenly his boo boos don't hurt anymore....lol...yay Dollar Tree....I am so totally not looking forward to the day when he realizes that all the good toys are at Wal-mart(and cost more than a dollar) but for now am glad he still thinks the Dollar Tree is amazing....March 27 is K-4 registration....(note to God: Please, Please let him get in)...T-ball season starts April 7th....so I'm excited about that....And the last week of March we are going on a 1 night mini-vacation to Ft. Walton Beach, FL. This will be Riley's first trip to the beach so I'm excited to see what he thinks about it. While we are there, we are gonna go to the Gulfarium and we are going to go on a 2 hr. Dolphin Cruise.. They are supposed to take you out and let you see Dolphins and it is an 80 foot glass bottom boat...On their web page it says that all the kids get a turn to drive the boat and that's what Riley is the most excited about....So we've got a lot going on in the next few weeks....Love to all....

Rambling Update

Let's see...what have we been up to lately? Well, we had a Valentine Banquet at church and everyone voted on a King and a Queen and Riley won King....yay, Riley. He was mad cause he wanted Bubba(my nephew, Christopher) to be king cause that's who he voted for soooooo that meant he should've won...the logics of a 4 year old...lol. I have signed Riley up for T-ball this year. I think I'm about as excited as He is. He'll play with 3 and 4 year olds. I think he's gonna have so much fun. We gave our dog, Cooper, to a friend of my Mom's. I am so not a dog person and I sooooo tried for over a year because my husband and Riley like dogs. Chris started working shift work again and didn't have the time that Cooper needed and as I said before I AM NOT A DOG PERSON. I figured Riley would throw a fit but he didn't ...lol...he was like ok. I felt bad cause I didn't feel bad about giving him away..did you get that? lol. I'm praying that Riley gets into K-4. It's done by lottery. They put all the boys names in a bag and all the girls names in a bag and draw 9 from each bag and that's who gets in. Sooooooooo, I guess we'll see. Well, it looks like I've rambled enough. Love to all, Kristy.
