Lads to Leaders 2009




















Lads to Leaders was GREAT! We had a wonderful time! Bayley traveled like a pro and made it super good all weekend. Poor ole Syd ended up sick again with her throat killing her. She did really good on Song. Debate had a funny moment. Sydney & Meleah both did great ...then syd had a blonde moment where she lost her train of thought and unfortunately it was when she was trying to make some point about Hitler and she said ummm Hitler like 3-4 times. She eventually got back on track but it will be a hard one for her to live down! lol She had a good attitude about it and we had a good laugh. lol Syd won 2nd place in scrapbook & 3rd place in web site. We got to shop twice & found several good deals. Bayley only had one meltdown all weekend so I consider it a huge success. By Sunday poor Syd felt terrible and after we hunted Easter eggs with Becca & Corra I took Syd to the doctor & she has a bacterial throat infection and has blisters in the back of her throat & a fever of 101. She got a shot and a Rx and seems to be feeling better.

Moody Tournament
OK here is an attempt at an update on Sydney. The highlights would be 2 trips to Ttown, spending spring break hanging out with her best friend Breanne, lots of Soccer & her upcoming knee surgery. I will start with definitely what I consider to be the biggest news. Sydney will be having knee surgery on Thursday April 16th at Children's Hospital. She hurt her knee a year ago in a soccer game...being the horrible parent that I am I kinda blew it off and just thought that she had stretched it and with rest it would get better. Long story short, rest didnt help, physical therapy didnt help, steroid shot didnt help, so we went to see Dr. Garth and he told us that her meniscus is completely covered with scar tissue & arthritis. He said she most likely tore her meniscus last year and it has just progressively gotten worse. Syd also is having a lot of pain from her patella tracking being off. Her knee cap constantly falls to the right and is off track. When they do the surgery Thursady they will #1. clean up and repair the meniscus #2 if fixing the meniscus doesnt allow the patella tracking to reset itself then he will first put stitches in the top of the tendon to attempt to tighten it #3 if that does not fix the tracking issue he will take a tendon out of her thigh and recreate the patella tracking. OUCH! If she only has to have the 1st part of the surgery the recovery should be pretty basic 4-6 week not too bad if the 2nd option comes into play that makes it 6-8 week recovery and if they have to do option #3 the recovery will be a whopping 4-6 MONTH recovery with 3+ weeks on crutches and tons of physical therapy. We are definitely praying we avoid option #3 and I think the chances are pretty good. The surgery is planned to be outpatient but if they have to do the patella tracking surgery she will most likely have to stay for pain control & she would also have multiple drains instead of just 1 and Dr. Garth just said that was a lil too much for a teenager to come home with. So I will definitely try to update this thing after Thursday and please keep her in your prayers!

Syd went to Ttown for Lacys 20th Birthday! She had a blast! Going to Lacys is definitely Sydney's getaway! lol They played taboo with the girls + Bud of course and also she went to 2 different Bama Baseball games! She had never been to a college game and she loved it!

Syd also played a soccer game in Ttown and Lacy, Emily, Bud, Desiree & Greg all came and were her fan club. They made signs for her! It was so cute. We went out eat and Christie got to come when she got off work! It was great! They are all so sweet to her and she loves them all!
Steph came and spent a weekend with us and it snowed on Sunday. Syd & Steph definitely got out there and acted 5 and enjoyed it for the few minutes they had before we went to church. lol O to be a teenager again!

Syd had an awesome spring break! Her and Breanne were together all week long! lol We ended up going to Ttown on Monday night and shopping then we went back Tuesday morning to shop Az Wells 50% off sale (WOOHOOO) and then we went to lunch with Lacy & Christie & ate on the strip & then we get to a Bama Baseball game that night. Bayley made it pretty good on our Ttown day & Sydney & Bre definitely had a blast! They spent the rest of spring break messing around PG and attempting to stay out of trouble. lol They of course went to Walmart at 12:01 on 3/21 and bought Twilight! lol

Syd had a soccer tournament April 3-4 at Moody and it was a LONG weekend. UGH. They had the late game on friday night so we didnt leave Moody until 10:45 and we had to be back there at 7am...IT STUNK! They lost all 3 games but we still had fun! Me, Syd, Bre, Chandler & Susan (bre's mom) all shopped inbetween the morning and night game and that was fun! The PG Boys team ended up winning the entire tournament! It was super exciting!
