What cha want....

Jalapenos?

Rosemary?

Cherry Tomatoes? (Lydia's favorite)

Bell Pepper?

I'm excited about my gardening... it's a little slow, but here is today's harvest. :)



Switching gears... The pool is open and we are ready! The girls have already been twice and they can't wait to go back tomorrow morning. Just gotta make sure we get D's swimsuit on the right way.

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Beach Picnic

Dantz had worked up an appetite. Check out that sandwich.

Checking a little BS in the sand :)

"Daddy, a wave!"

Worn out and laid back in the shade

The nap allowed Mama some time to play.

Dantz and JP relaxing

Pier Park On Sunday

That's not good table manners, WD and Dantz.

Holy Moly, they sure were good!

Sweetness!

Beach and Pool Action at the Hudson's on Sunday afternoon.. fun times.

Waiting on a pizza after lots of fun in the sun!



Happy Happy Birthday Brock!




When this heals, we will be back!!!

 The Weekend at the beach was fabulous!

We came back into town today and my last softball game of the season was tonight. I'm going to miss seeing these ladies every Monday night. Good times!

So much fun ladies!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone!

Patience....

it is not something I was born with, but I am learning it more everyday. And I'm trying people, especially with a two and three year old and "betes", too!

The "betes" is a serious waiting game. (waiting on BS to drop, waiting on it to rise, waiting to check BS, waiting for her to take another bite and I could go on and on) I will spare you. I'm thinking,God put "betes" into my life to help me with this serious downfall. :)

My point is, the girls and I woke up and packed up. It was snacktime, so I checked Lydia's BS, before we were going to hit the road. It read 500!! Not at all, what I was expecting to see. I made her go wash her hands, and we gave it another try. Same thing. (yes, dirty hands can give you a bad reading)

You see, last night was a long night. "Betes" doesn't sleep, incase you were wondering. She was high at 10p, so I plugged her with some serious insulin. Checked her at midnight and it had dropped some, but not what it should have considering her last dose.(I didn't think the pod was working, but I make decisions and conclusions FAST- kinda goes hand in hand with the whole patience thingy) Checked her at 2 am and it had dropped a little bit more, but still deserved a correction, so plugged in a little more insulin. At 5 am, she still needed a little more. At 7, she woke up on target and it kinda made me forget everything that had happened during the night. (again, I'm hasty and thought it must be working since her BS was in range) Fed her breakfast, dosed her and we went on about our business.

Snack time at 10am- Decided that blankety, blank pod wasn't working and went ahead and deactivated it. Pulled out the syringes and gave her a shot to get that 500 down. Had to remove the old pod (which seems to be Lydia's least favorite part) and let her just hang without it for about an hour. Put on a new pod before lunch and now I'm back to waiting.

We are all still home. They are snoozing and I will know by 2:00 if the new pod is working properly. If so, we are outta here! I've got two cuties ready for some fun in the sun! And I'm ready too!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

And Happy Birthday Billy (L) and Dad (R). Hope y'all have a good one!!

Pod Change Today

And we did it without any trouble!

She's even starting to accessorize her pods.

I've been doing these...

okay, maybe not that high- more like picnic table bench level. :)

because I am shooting for this....

Sissy and I are doing a serious boot camp three times a week and I can't bend over, much less walk today. Actually, it even hurts to sneeze. She said she is feeling good. I'm not, but I'm not going to quit because I have my eye on the prize.
A Straight up white monokini is what we are talking about!!! hahahahahahaha

Now, all joking aside, I'm off to pop four more Motrin.

Weekends are Good Stuff...

especially when you do a pod change on Sunday afternoon and it's a SUCCESS!!
(Praise God because we were seriously sweating it after our horrible pod experience on Thursday, but we did it on the first try today... YEAH!)

Sisters!

The girls went to a sweet friend's birthday party. Some little girls were curious about Lydia's pod.

Girls: "Why do you have that on your arm?" "What is that on your arm?"

Before Lydia could even answer...

Dantzler replies:  " Insulin Pump" "She has diabetes"  (she said this with her hands on her hips and in a bent over position and with a little bit of volume too)

I'm certain none of those little girls knew what that meant or even understood what Dantz said, but it totally melted my heart that little sister knows. 

I was grinning from ear to ear. It was the cutest! Go Dantz D.
