My Nightmare Of A Day

Okay...I'm gonna tell you a little story. It's not really funny. I just have to laugh or I'll cry.

The DFW Area Mom's are going to be on Good Morning Texas!

I was late getting to Beth's house because of construction, lights, etc...

Got to Peter Piper Pizza. Had a great time. I kept asking Jake are you going to say Good Morning Texas!? He said "No!" It's time to do it and he's looking away from the camera. The boy says what he means.

On the way home I knew I was going to be late picking Nicholas up and didn't pay attention to the speed and got a 53 in a 40 and an expired drivers licence that I didn't know was expired. I'll have to go tomorrow and renew that. So I got my tickets and called MDO to see if Nicholas could stay in the extended care. They said yes.

I get to MDO and pick up Nicholas and I was at a 4 way stop and I thought it was my turn to go and so did the cars to my right and I sped up to get out of the way and "Wham!" I get two more tickets. One for a 35 in a 20 "school zone" and one for the expired licence again.

This just isn't my day folks! But, I sure did have fun at Peter Piper Pizza.

Thanks for letting me vent. I feel better now.

A Whole Bunch Of Nothin'

This week has been kind of blah. I went and got the car inspected. It expired February. Jake came home with fever on Tuesday. My dh had to go and pick him up because my phone was dead. Nothing new there. I felt so bad. Today is Thursday and he still has a fever and cough but, I'm putting off going to the doctor until Friday so I can take Nicholas. He has to have a couple of shots so the school will accept him into Kindergarten in August. My babies are growing up! Only one more to go. Jake will be in Kindergarten the following year and my nest will be empty until 3:10. Whatever shall I do? hehe! I'll think of something!

I was suppose to take juice and soft drinks to MOPS this morning but, my friend Courtney offered to take them for me and she doesn't know it yet but, I'm going to have to ask her to take my arts, crafts, and snacks for the PTA in the morning. I hate sickness!

Magic Time Machine

We had a Mom's Night Out with kids Friday night and I took Madison with me. This was with my DFW Area Mom's group and it was so much fun! I had never been before and always wanted to go. I'm so glad I finally had a chance. Our waitress was tinkerbell. She threw napkins at us and then took our order. It was funny! Whenever a character would come by the kids would say "could I have your autograph?" hehe! Too cute! I didn't take any pictures so I just saved a copy from everyone else. I did alter them just to be different. haha!

Update On Philip

We would like to thank you for all your prayers, love and support these past days. While hearing that Philip has leukemia was devastating, we know God’s hand was present with us. If Philip had been diagnosed just a day or two later we would not have had to postpone the birth of Andrew and therefore would not have been able to gather and store Andrew’s cord blood for possible later use. Also, just the fact that all this happened over Easter weekend…the time in our faith when we reflect on the wonderful gift of salvation Jesus gave to us by His dying and rising again…is just another “God thing” that sustains us.

John and I have strong belief that Philip will be healed by God’s hand. That doesn’t mean we won’t go through times of doubt – we’ve already experienced some of that – so please keep praying for our son and all our family as we adjust to our “new normal” and focus on the complete healing of Philip.

Philip has his first clinic appointment on Monday. He will have a bone marrow biopsy, spinal tap and a round of chemotherapy…please pray for tomorrow to go smoothly.

We do not mind emails, calls and visitors. However, we ask that you be healthy and not bring children around at this time.

Love,

John and Suzanne Endres

We are starting a Caring Bridge Website to keep all of you update to date on Philip’s progress. The link is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/philipendres

Movie...Birthdays & Easter Celebration

Friday I took Madison, Nicholas & Jake to see "Horton Hears A Who" with my friend Karen and her family. It was really cute. I chuckled a few times. The kids sat still the whole time so that says a lot! I told Hayley I would take her just me and her another time because she had part 1 of a soccer tournament in Arlington.

Howard's (dh's) birthday was on Easter this year. My nephew's Dustin and James also share the same birthday. On Saturday I baked Howard a homemade triple layer german chocolate cake and icing from scratch. I'm so proud of myself! It turned out so moist and yummy! When he and Hayley got home from day 2 her soccer tournament we sang Happy Birthday to daddy and he blow out his one pink candle. hehe! That's all we had, I swear.

The Easter Bunny came last night and left the girls a jump rope, some paper with flowers on it and a flower pen and the boys got a frisbee and a gun that shoots disks. They all got jellybeans, a chocolate bunny, and hershey kisses. I was lazy this year and waited until the last minute. the isles were crowded and I didn't want to fight my way though so, I just went over to the cheap toys at Target. LOL!

Sunday we went to grandma and grandpa's to hunt eggs and have dinner. Everyone had a great time! We celebrated my nephew James' birthday too and they accidentally got the trick candles and it got a little smokey. hehe! My nephew Dustin was having his brithday party at Nickelrama at the same time as dh's mom and dad. Hopefully next year the timing will work out a little better. I hated to miss it. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Oh! and grandma had one lonely tulip so I thought I'd get a shot of that. LOL!

Prayers Please.....

If you could please say a little prayer for my nephew Philip. He is 3 years old and he went into Medical City on Thursday for Flu like symptoms. Dh's mom called last night and said he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. Also, his white blood cell count was abnormal. Today, she called at 5:30 and said that he has Luekemia. They are going to start a port with his first round of chemo tomorrow.

John & Suzanne....I am going to ask to have little Philip added to our prayer list at church. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

It's A Jungle In There!

My mom asked if we would like to join her at McDonalds today. So me and the kids met her at 11:00 for lunch. We went to the one in Richardson off of Beltline Rd. It looked like a jungle in there! Prett cool! My neice and nephew's came and three of their friends. It was raining cats and dogs and there was only room for me and my mom to sit inside. It was very crowded so we decided to let the kids play and then we would get the food and go home and eat. We went over to my mom's and the kids ate, played and my mom and I watched soap operas. We got home around 3:30 and now I'm just catching up on my mommy boards and thought I would post some pics. of our day. The first one is just one I took of the girls. I thought it was sweet. hehe! Madison took the one of my mom and me. Nice shot of the double chin girlfriend. haha!
