Message's to Sissy

Parts of the video are dark, we were filming at night - sorry.

Jesse's message to Sissy...

and Tyler's Message to Sissy...

Off to College!

Well, Caitlin has left for TCU. She left last Thursday morning. It was a bitter sweet good-bye. Paul and I are so proud of her and her new adventures which lay ahead, yet at the same time don't want to let her go. Paul had a hard time with saying the word to his "little" girl and it broke my heart in a million pieces to watch him do it. Those two are so close that they really do have their own language! Tyler knows "Sissy" is off to college, which by the way both of them think is up in the clouds, and it really hasn't fazed him YET! As for Jesse, he was having a hard day that morning when he had to say his good-byes. He just wanted to sit in her lap the whole time and kept hugging her. I guess to that our minds off the day and his little mind off of missing sissy, he fell at school and ended up in the emergency room AGAIN, and had his forehead guled! It was close to stiches but they glued it instead! Now he walks around the house telling us everyday how much he misses her. I know deep down inside Tyler feels the same way and misses her terribly too, but he isn't showing it just at the moment! We have talked to Caitlin everyday since she got there and she is loving it so far! She was able to move into her dorm room and our family in Texas helped her get set up and convert her dorm bed into a bunk bed to give her more space! We were talking to her last night, her first day of orientation and staying in her dorm room. As Paul was talking to her, he started laughing. Come to find out as she was talking to him she was rocking in a chair and thought she was still rocking when actually she was falling and fell off the chair and onto the floor! I guess we have another Holly on our hands! Well, that is all for now! I told Caitlin to send pictures so we can see her new place and the school! As soon as I get those I will post them and share with all of you!

Beautiful Nail...

This video the girls will love if they have ever went and had their nails done! Thanks Brittney for telling me about this funny video!

Can I have your numba???

I heard about this video from my friends daughter. I couldn't stop laughing when I heard about it that I just had to share it with everyone! The thing that really makes it funny is that Darrel is played by a girl! Enjoy it!

The Monkey Bars....

We have always wondered who was going to be the first to either get stitches or a cast. Well, yesterday we found out. Jesse was crossing the Monkey Bars at school and lost his grip. He fell and landed on his arm as he was falling backwards. We took him to the emergency room and had xrays taken. The doctors there thought her had fractured the bone from his elbow to his hand. They put his arm in a splint and made an appointment for today for a cast. Come to find out today, he actually fractured the bone right above his elbow. The put a cast on from his upper arm all the way to his little hand. He chose a Red cast! He was such a big boy through this whole thing that we took him to Target to get a fire truck. We'll let you know how he is doing in 3 weeks or so when we take him back to the doctor to see how things are healing. Here's a picture of him with his cast.

He had such a big day today that once he got back to Nonna's house, he took a long nap with Tyler and Taylor!
