It's a secret vacation... Shhh!

Rammy (Sasha's school mascot) and Jules) are helping me pack for our vacation. I wonder where we could be going??? Sasha doesn't know either :)

School and Soccer Pictures - 2013

I know two posts in one day... be still my beating heart.  I wanted to post these before I forgot since I just got them.

Kindergarten official picture...


Soccer picture...


Not quite sure where my tiny princess has gone to. All of a sudden this big grown up girl, albeit still a princess, has appeared. We can't blink or we'll miss something... time is going too fast.

We've started Kindergarten!!

First Day of School - Kindergarten: Aug 19th
Ready to head out!


With her teacher Mrs. Moore


Found her seat and right at home


Week 2... her first PE uniform day


On Saturday mornings this fall (and Thursday evenings for practice) we've been at the soccer field. Our girl has improved so much! She really likes the game and it looks like we may just have a little soccer player in the family.


And when Miss Sasha isn't doing school work, playing soccer or just snuggling with us... she's drawing, or writing or doing some sort of craft. She's turned out to love crafts...


I know it's been awhile, but hopefully that's been a good catch up here on the blog. Facebook is typically up to date but I need to remember the blog too :) 

Hugs! Brooke

Needles

When I was about 5 I remember an AWFUL experience with shots... Something about a nurse chasing me around a room rings a bell. Since then it's never been good. I can remember always having a hard time when a nurse needed to get blood. In the ER one time a spot on my wrist had to be numbed ad used because all other places had been tried. I looked away and hummed odd nothingness while blood was taken it was so bad... Nurses always thought it was a song, I said no.

And now... Every 6 weeks (or less) I'm in and out. Use the left arm in the center, and I don't hum.  Sad or an improvement? Not sure.

Butterfly song

Miss Sash is completely loving to perform and create right now; not only singing and dancing, but also drawing and coloring. Here's a little bit of her performance tonight...

5th Birthday Pictures

Hot from our photographer, I just received Miss Sasha's 5th birthday pictures.  We've gone to Crystal since Sash was 18 months so she's not just someone who takes our pictures for Sash's birthday and family ones at Christmas, but also a friend.  Here's the latest installment...

Not just Sasha's anymore... I feel old

So this is where I remind you that this isn't just Sash's blog. I need to say some things and just talk somewhere and since I could never keep up a blog for me and her I guess this is my place. Just delete if you want :)

I want to try to document at times where this crappy AS has me. Not only does it let me write, but also, God forbid (and please if you're still reading say a prayer this doesn't happen) if Sash does inherit this, she will know what I went through with it. 

Long story a little shorter since this has gone on longer than I expected... I feel old. I'm 33 and feel at least 60 I'm guessing. Today I have pains in my chest and left arm... Yes you read that right. But with my condition this is just part of it. I can't go with typical warning signs a s such of other conditions or I'd be in an ER every week. I'm sick of it and sure people around me are too. I've found a few boards online and found I'm not alone in how I feel... Thankfully. I don't feel so freakish since I found them but I still feel lazy when I know I'm not. Either way this is me today...
