06.30.13 sunday



Shelby decided that she wanted her whole head of hair pink...

Remember, it is only hair...it grows.  If Shelby wants to experiment with her hair I have no problems...her dad on the other hand, well that is a different story.

Shelby making breakfast for her and Hannah.  She did pretty good with a little help from me.

Did a wash this morning and my washer crapped out...Mark said that it wasn't worth repairing and went out and bought me a new set before he left for Pennsylvania for a visit with all of his brothers.  He is so sweet, always trying his best to make things easy for me.  I told him I would go to the laundry mat...He'll hook up the dryer this coming week.

I let the milkweed grow in my front garden...I have no idea where it came from, just showed up several years ago.  Several of them flowered and give off a nice scent.  I am hoping we will get monarch caterpillars...

I also won BB King concert tickets for a local radio station.  I entered because Matthew is a fan so he and his dad will go.

Matthew's cucumbers are coming along.  Despite the rain he has several on each of his 6 plants.  The beans and tomatoes are looking good, too.

Do you think she's happy to see my camera??!!  She needed to have a stress test to determine if the "extra" electrical pathway shuts down during physical activity...no, it doesn't.  Next stop, an electrophysiologist, he is a specialists of the "electrical system" of the heart. 

After the stress test we went to the drag races...first national event for NHRA to be held in the Northeast.  Shelby loved it!

The AAU season is officially over.  Even though we ended on a 1-4 weekend this was by far one of the best seasons we have been involved with.  Thanks to coach Shannon and assistant coach Michaela the girls improved by leaps and bounds.

No b-ball for Shelby or Kayla.  Kayla took an elbow to the back of her neck so she was keeping Shelby company on the bench.  First game of the day the team we were playing never showed up...and we won the 2nd game.

The basketball team took a field trip to the coaches 1st grade class room to check out the baby chicks.  A few of the girls got pooped on which caused everyone to laugh.  After washing the hands thoroughly the coach treated all of the girls to ice cream.

Shelby saw the pediatric cardiologist.  She had another EKG, which confirmed wpw, echo cardiogram, which showed nothing wrong with her heart and they attached a heart monitor that Shelby will wear for 24 hours.  She is scheduled for a stress test later in the month to determine if she is a hi or low risk for physical activity.  For right now, no basketball, gym or any kind of physical activity.
