Doctor update
We did take Coby in to see a Doctor Rima. Right now she is only temporary. The first time we saw her she talked to me and Tommy to see what's going on with Coby at school and the second time I take Coby in, he'll see her by himself. After that she'll send us to a long term doctor. So far with what we told her and I brought all of Coby's school things with me to show her, which was some of his work and his report card and also teacher's notes. We told the doctor that we know Coby has a problem with attention span but it really hasn't affected home life and last year it didn't affect his school work. Coby went from an AB honor roll student, making straight A's last quarter of last year to making D's and C's. The teacher told me and Tommy that if she could just have Coby's attention, he'd be a C student. That really upset me and I wish I would've said something to her at the time but I was just so in shock that she'd even say that to my face I was speechless. We also brought that to the doctor's attention. Anyway, long story short, the doctor said that without knowing this teacher she didn't like her. She also said that it sounded like it was more the teacher than Coby. But there could be more to Coby's behavior as well. Anyway, he's going to see Dr. Rima again on Thursday and we'll go from there.

Mommy and Lexie
It wasn't that cold on Thanksgiving day but we decided to wear our coats anyway and we look good!
Thanksgiving day
I couldn't keep the kids inside! They enjoyed themselves though. Since they were already outside I took pictures of them in their own habitat.
Sandy Buns
Look how awesome my dog, Sandy is! She is a red nose pit and american pit mix. I was told not to get this kind of dog but we did get a book on this breed and did some homework. Come to find out they are very good family dogs and very protective which is what we were looking for. With Tommy being gone so much I feel a little better being here by myself. When she gets to know you she's as sweet as she can be, but she does do her job well by keeping me alert when someone or something is in my yard or at my door. We all love her to pieces!
Lexie's thumb
I forgot to update on Lexie's thumb. The doctor said that she had an infection but he gave her antibiotics and told me to keep it clean and bandaged. The skin had swollen a bit and the doc said that if it didn't go down then I'd have to bring her back in to get the skin scrapped off. I really hope I don't have to do that!
Redneck Swimming Pool
They had so much fun that day. They were doing cannon balls into the ditch. They loved it!
Hollywood
The first day of school Coby came home with a bag of goodies to welcome the kids back to school. Isn't he so cool?! I was calling him "Hollywood'.
Brockwell family
Easter of 2008, but I promise you we still look the same! With Tommy gone so much this was the last family picture we had taken. Of course I couldn't get all the kids to do right. This is the only picture where I had 2 out of 3 kids sorta looking at the camera.
Nap time
I couldn't resist this picture. How they all got to sleep at the same time is still a mystery to me. This rarely ever happens in my house. Usually I can't get any of them to take a nap. I was even surprised my oldest jumped up there and fell asleep. My dog, Sandy thinks she's one of the kids. Aren't they precious?

It's probably best not to say anything to the teacher after they say something dumb like that. I just say, "uh-huh" and take it as a grain of salt until a professional tells me there is something to worry about. If he was making A's and B's last year I would think there's something wrong with the teacher! Good luck with the doctor, it's good to have someone on your side.
