Parties, Parties Everywhere!

Norah's Birthday Party

Kid's Halloween Party

We had a fun-filled weekend with parties everywhere!  Saturday we went to Norah's Party around lunchtime!  Then home to watch the State game... Still #1 just sayin'!  Then we went to the Halloween party on the beach.  The kids had a good time but were super tired from the day so it was early bedtime for all!  Sunday we had costume kid's ministry at church then I had practice that afternoon!  This week is "Spirit Week" at school for both kids just different themes:

Monday: Fisher (PJ Day) & Nolan (Orange Day)

Tuesday: Fisher (College Day) & Nolan (Cowboy Day)

Wednesday: Fisher (50's Dress Up) & Nolan (School Pic Day)

Thursday: Fisher (Red Day) & Nolan (Silly Sock & Hair Day)

Friday: Fisher(Halloween Colors) & Nolan (Costume)

So needless to say we are busy!  We will also be working on our school project this weekend for Fisher's book fair!  Hopefully we can fit all of this in with a long photo shoot for me on Saturday night, Halloween & Peter Anderson!  LONG weekend but lots to do!  Updated pics to come later!

Brothers, Brushing & Ball...

These 4...

Brother's Playing

Brusha, Brusha, Brusha

We FINALLY have a walker in the house!!!  Nolan is finally walking.  Not that fast but he is working on it!  Nothing new from this past weekend.  Pretty quiet around the Morgan household.  No State game this past weekend so we were not as hyped as we normally are!  But Kentucky tomorrow!  Bring it! We traveled to Pascagoula this week for Football and Caleb went with us!  The boys had a good time playing and spending time together.  With our busy schedules I'm glad they get to see each other at least 1 day a week!  Now for the weekend to spend time with Pyper!!!

We met with Fisher's doctor about his medicines and problems and he is sending us to a urologist for Fisher's bladder problems and switching his ADHD meds to help with sleep and weight loss.  So wish us luck the next 3 weeks as we try to transition.  Hoping that it will work for him because it is a 24 hour medicine that would help at home too!  Oh Fisher also broke his glasses again on Friday and we had to buy another pair... I'm sure we are $500 in already on glasses in 5 months!  We should  have the new ones soon and then we can look at repairing the ninja turtle ones at a cost of $130!  That will be next month though!  All of these doctor visits, medicine and glasses are adding up quick!

Fisher's Update

Sorry... Forgot to post about Fisher!  Eddie and I went to the doctor yesterday and talked with her about his behaviors.  He was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD.  She suggested some things to do over the summer to keep him learning and such!  He has done so well on his medication and he is so proud of himself for being able to control himself and learn!  So we will meet with his pediatrician next week to make sure he is on the right dose of medication and go from there!  I will keep everyone updated if there are any changes!

Definitions for those that don't know:
ADHD:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over-activity). 
Combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive is what he has: Six or more symptoms of inattention and six or more symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity are present. Most children have the combined type of ADHD.

ODD:
Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is defined by the DSM-5 as a pattern of angry/irritable behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months, and is exhibited during interaction with at least one individual that is not a sibling. Individuals must display four symptoms from one of the following categories: angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness. Unlike children with conduct disorder (CD), children with oppositional defiant disorder are not aggressive towards people or animals (even though this directly contradicts the "signs and symptoms"), do not destroy property, and do not show a pattern of theft or deceit.

"Cruisin'" to #1...

Flag Football

Crusin' the Coast

#hailstate

So this weekend was magical to say the least!  We had Crusin' the Coast with all of the wonderful cars but the best part was State beating Auburn!  So we are now #1 in the Nation!  Can you believe that?  I can't either but it is finally true!

We walked downtown and looked around with Grammy for a couple of hours then came home for Nolan to lay down and for the game to start!  We enjoyed the win!  Ole Miss won too so a great win for both!!!  Now the real game is going to be the Egg Bowl!  I bet you that everyone will be watching that one!

Yes the last picture I do have Nolan in a bow.  He was so cute though it was hard to resist!  He would make a cute girl...he is so pretty!

It is Homecoming week in OS so Fisher is doing spirit week.  Pictures to come next week on that and more weekend fun!

Football, Fall & Four-Wheelin'...

Enjoying Sundays

State Boys

We had such a wonderful change of weather here.  It was in the 50's at night and 70-80's during the day!  We were able to open all the doors for Saturday's football games and what a day it was... Mississippi State beat Texas A&M and Ole Miss beat Alabama!  Proud of our MS teams!  Sunday we played outside all day after church and it was such a beautiful day!  I started Mardi Gras practice Sunday so that will be my thing to do every Sunday night.
I went to the allergiest on Thursday and they tested me for everything under the sun... well I am not allergic to ANYTHING!  So that means that either I have to have sinus surgery or try to cope with the symptoms with nose spray.  It seems to be working for now so cross your fingers I won't have to go through the surgeries and such!
We go back to the doctor to talk about the diagnosis for Fisher next Tuesday at 3 so I will keep everyone updated on that once we get confirmation!
Crusin' the Coast is this weekend... Woo Hoo!  Nice weather and cool cars.  I will be taking the boys downtown this weekend to look at them and to enjoy the nice weather!
