Heard the expression "racing widow"?

It's been a couple of months since I posted but boy did those 2 months drag on. Although March was filled w/ lots of birthday celebrations. I can't say I know another month w/ that many birthdays of family members. Good thing we don't do presents for all of them cuz we would be broke!!

Miss Maci is such a diva. At two years old she has definitely found her inner diva which I can't say is a good thing. It is absolutely adorable tho when she walks around the house strutting her stuff like she owns the place. Even w/ an ear infection, you could not tell she was sick. Yes, I know!!! An ear infection!!! I knew that Tony and I jinxed ourselves when we counted our blessings out loud in a conversation we had just two weeks prior. We were saying how blessed we are that out of three kids, none of them have had ear infections. There is not one kid I know that has not had an ear infection and multiple ones at that. I took Maci to the Dr. for them to look at what I thought was something in her eye. The Dr. and I were both very surprised when an examination of her ear showed ear infection. Now on day 8/10 of antibiotics. The Dr. said even if her symptoms are gone finish course of antibiotics. She never had symptoms how can I tell. Oh well, Drs orders it is but very thankful we caught it before it got worse. Blessing in disguise I guess:) Maci also sat thru her first movie. She did extremely well but I was trying to keep her occupied w/ food which I'm sure helped. What ?!?! She can stand to gain a few pounds:) not good habits to teach this young but wanted to make sure she sat thru it.

As for Elliott, he's seems to be growing which is good since he's a little shorty. He just turned 4 and we celebrating w/ a superhero party. I let the kids make their own cape which was a lot of fun. As a present he got tickets to Monster Trucks. Since Tony and I didn't pay for tickets, Elliott was able to get VIP treatment as you can see from pics. Oh and he finally fit 4T clothes!!He's always going to be a petite kid but I just want to make sure he's growing. I think he does notice it as well since he made a comment when I was carrying him to the car that I was small. Lol. I'm sure it won't be long at all before he is taller then me cuz it only took Cheyenne till 5th grade until she surpassed all 5 ft of me:)

Cheyenne is still growing. She is 5ft 6in. She says she doesn't want to get any taller and I think that her height is perfect. I think even if she grows another 2 inches I would still think she's perfect. She only has another month and a half before she is done w/ her junior year. I'm still worried about what lies in her future but she's bright, she'll figure it out:) Cheyenne also got invited to her first prom!!!! She seems excited about it and I have already had the opportunity meet the guy who seems nice. If she's like her mamma then she's picky which is a good thing when it comes to guys. We just ordered her prom dress online and it will be arriving only a few days prior to prom so we're crossing our fingers that its the perfect dress. Stay tuned.....

As for Tony and I, besides celebrating our birthdays in March as well, getting sick, it's all been race cars on the mind. Tony is working very hard to get it done, and I am working very hard to be a good wife and allow him to do so. That means every night till 10:30-11 at night. By the time he comes in for the night, I am ready for bed and there has not been a lot of time together. So when I say Racing Widow, I truly feel like a single mom with no husband. It is sincerely a true testament to our marriage, but I know that sacrifices need to be made b/c in the end he's happy and we're happy that he's home more w/ us during the summer. I sure will be happy when racing season starts already and the car needs less maintenance.

Till next time. Hopefully we will have a better 2 months free of illness and stress. But I'm sure we will cuz it'll be closer to summer. More outdoor time and fresh air which makes everyone feel better!!!
