According to S.F.

Sam wrote his life story earlier this school year...last day @ EFE was Friday...I officially am a mom of a 3rd grader, 1st grader & Preschooler!



Samuel Matthew Ferguson


Hello! My name is Sam and this is my life story: I was born in Kansas City on October 30th 2001. My parent's name's are Rob and Amy. When I was born, I had to get a needle through my head. A few years later, I peed in my mom's ear!


I am 7 years old now and trouble is stirring. Madeline has arrived! A 7 year old boy should not have to handle this. Noah also has come, and trust me there are no brothers or sister like them! I know they are up to something when they smile. I have to suffer the pain they have for me! Trust me you do NOT want to find out what they do to me. I cannot stand how they beat me up and I can't even do anything back!


At last, I am 8 years old, and I have a new weapon.... my EVIL SINISTER LAUGH! MmmwwwhaaahahahahaHA. But, here are some names I am known by: Sammer Ferguerburger, Sam The Madman, Sam-n-beans, and Sabertooth.  My sister has been really evil ever since my 8th birthday.


Well it's almost the end of second grade, and I'm ready for 3rd grade!!!

Zoo, bikes, and "Pink Sparkley Kittens"...


Madeline's soccer team: 'The Pink Sparkley Kittens'
Take just a minute. Re-read that. Yep. It's true. These 5 & 6 year old girls threw out a few of their favorite things...and before we knew it, the team name was simply, "The Pink Sparkley Kittens".  Hey, they love pink, sparkley things, and kittens of course!
We had a great weekend! Hard to believe though that I took this picture today/May 16th...the kids had to have jackets on?! Crazy Show-Me-State weather.  I'm not complaining though, it will be humid and miserable soon enough!
Last but not least....the ZOO trip! We had beautiful weather, and with 86 Kindergarten kiddos they all did great, the day was a huge success.  These little monkeys did NOT want to go home...

Gee-whiz, I feel pooped!

Upper GI Endoscopy and Lower GI Colonoscopy-Sigmoidoscopy=FUN!
If given the choice between this...
and this...well clearly, who wouldn't have chosen this?!
Clear liquids, and lots and lots of time...
Sooooo excited, I kept saying-let's DO THIS!
My nurses were all really great, loving, full of smiles even as the day wore on and things weren't going as smoothly as planned. My main RN today was the lovely RN that sat with me last year (room 11, same day surgery, she remembered me right away) when we lost the baby, it was nice to see her again-this time when I was more 'myself'.
Next thing I knew, the Upper GI was done.  Just waiting to do the Lower GI...then there was a really fun hour with FOUR enemas....ewwwwwww.
Alas when all was said and done, my fabulous nurse gave me my very own crown-sticker...for having the cleanest looking 'stuff' in all the land (she made one for herself as well, after all she is the enema queen).
The Dr. came over and said, "Hey guess what? No CX!" I smiled, and then gave him two thumbs up.
