Lauren get's H1N1

Okay, so we should call this the Lauren blog. Lots of things going on with this girl! She got the flu and was down for a week. After 6 days of 103.8 fever and all of the other fun symptoms of flu we've finally knocked it out of her! (Without any of us getting it!!!) I do have to admit Lauren being sick gave me time to breathe (she's a go go go kinda gal), it's good to see her smiling and being herself again. More exciting news to come next week!!!

Lauren gets Braces!!!!

Lauren's name is in print! Lauren had to have a tooth pulled so her smile was a little lopsided when she came out....Gavin didn't miss a beat he started singing "We represent the lollypop guild the lollypop guild...." SOOO funny!!! Lauren was a good sport and even tried to laugh!


Lauren picked pink and red for Valentines Day!

WARNING: CLOSE UP!!!!

Lauren 'Powerhouse" Meyer

As some of you know, Lauren was in Gymnastics for a couple of years and was on LAGC's team. She practiced everyday in the gym (summers) and 12-15 hours a week during the school year. It was a HUGE committment. She tried 100% but she wasn't a natural like some others. She really had to work for the scores. After lots of blisters, sweat and tears she decided to take time off and try some other sports. She did basketball (a natural!!), of course soccer (okay but not scholarship mat'l-it keeps her in shape), and softball.....she wants to make this her sport for high school and maybe college. She's a natural! She took to it very easily and loves every second she's on the field. (She's also a cheerleader this year for St. B-she definatly has the personality for it! VERY happy and peppy!)

This is her stealing second.


She had an RBI and was safe at first.

Batting...poor thing is so short that her shorts are too long, socks to high and shirt too big!

Moo and smell-a-nor....okay Lauren and Eleanor (Ellie)...great friends!


Lauren did a great job at her last game....caught a pop fly in the out field then threw it to second for a double play! She had her momma screaming, on her feet and banging on the fence! I was VERY into the play! LOL I wish I would've gotten a picture of her smile....PRICELESS!!!! She was soooo proud of herself!


A day at the fair!

Gavin was brave and put his arms up! Lauren usually has her arms up but I think she put them down right when I took the picture.


Moo loves her corn! I swear any veggie and she's all over it...even brussel sprouts! PS...she's looking more and more like Gramma Paula everyday! She's beautiful!!!



Gavin and Grammy. He shot me this look....it's his haha I'm lovin on someone else look. Little stinker!

SORRY!

I haven't forgotten about the blog....I've been reconnecting with old friends on facebook. I'll post more photos soon. Justin News: He's coming home at the end of February...can hardly wait. Soooo....I probably won't be on that much in March. We have a lot of "stuff" to catch up on..heehee. Okay, now about the kids. Lauren has quit gymnastics. It was a HUGE time committment and she wanted to try other things. Lets face it. She wasn't going to earn a scholarship with gymnastics....she's amazing but gymnastics wasn't her deal it was mine. So we've started basketball...something her momma knows nothing about because if I did I wouldn't have let her join. Did you know it can be a contact sport if you play againt public school kids? I thought Lauren was going to deck someone! I've only seen her get mad twice and that was one of them. WOW! She LOVES it almost as much as soccer. She said yesterday she couldn't wait to get back on the court and "cream" someone....my sweet little princess wants to cream someone y'all....what is wrong with this picture?! Anywho, Gavin and Lauren are both signed up for soccer and that will resume in March. Much Love!

Story about the poor poor lizard....

Gavin was so excited that he held a lizard. He was telling me the story of how he found it on the patio and picked it up and it just sat there. He then proceeded to tell me he held it's nose and it's mouth opened up real big.....so he stuck a stick in it's mouth and it's eyes got really big! The poor little lizard....
