Daddy's off to Michigan

Daddy's getting on an airplane to visit friends in Michigan.

Hi, Lin and Jerry! Take care of our Daddy!

He is going fishing and have a little R & R.

My baby girl had a bad dream last night :(

She woke up crying "Mommy, Dada" It took her about and hour and a half to fall back to sleep. That is the first time she has woken up in the middle of the night calling our names. Poor baby! She was fine this morning.

I am posting an old picture because I still don't have my new computer!

Don't forget to sign in on the map on the right side of the blog! The map is the coolest thing! Thanks!

Yum! Yum! Rocky Road Ice Cream

The GOOD things about working at an amusement park!
The convenience of ice cream, pizza, tacos, home made fudge, candy apples, cookies, funnel cakes, etc.

I'm getting a new computer :)

Hooray! I ordered a compter and I hope to get it by Monday. I am having computer withdraws.

I finally went to the doctor today. I have a sinus infection /allergies!
Well, Who'd a thought! DUH! I wish I could have just called and told the doctor " I need antibiotics and allergy medicine", and that would be it.

The kid's had a great time at Holiday World yesterday. They got to meet me for lunch then they went to the water park. I met them about 3pm and then Craig and Wyatt got to go on rides. Rylee and I headed home. She was so tired, plain pitiful!
Craig and Wyatt rolled in about 5:30. Craig walked in and said "Prepare yourself" I looked out the window here comes Wyatt up the walk, crying! Craig said he had been crying since he got off the last ride, all the way through the park, through the parking lot and all the way home. He didn't want to leave! He was over exhausted and it took me about 1/2 hour to settle him down. I wish he wouldn't act like that when we leave places. I PRAY IT IS A PHASE!
They still had a great time though!

My home computer died!

How sad! I struggled all weekend without it. I am addicted to the computer. I need to go to Computers Anonymous. Yep! I got it bad! We do have a lot pictures on it! Craig does not miss the home computer much. He was only concerned about all our photos we had saved from the beginning of the year. So, Joe has come to my rescue. Joe is The Computer Guy here at work. He said he can get the photos off the hard drive and he will help me find a new computer. WHAT A GUY!

THANKS TO EVERYBODY THAT JOINED IN ON THE MAP. THAT IS TOO COOL!

Craig is off work today and bringing the kids to Holiday World. What is so excited! Craig told him they will take their naps here so when they wake up they will still be here at Holiday World. He wants to go to the water park so bad. I will be meeting them for lunch and I hope to leave work early today to meet up with them.

In memory of my father on Memorial Day.
We love and miss you Dad!

Grandma and Pawpaw's 35th Aniversary

We all went to their house had supper and walked down to the park.
The kids had a great time and did not want to go home.

Happy Anniversary Ken and Ruth!!

Camping with Yogi!

We had a great weekend camping with The Hopkins. Thanks guys for inviting us!

The kids did great. Wyatt was the first one to catch a fish and he just loved Yogi. Wyatt says now Kaden is his Best Buddy. He has gone on and on about the whole weekend.

Rylee was not a big fan of Yogi's, only from a far. She did have a great time at the playground and you could always find her in Kaden's jeep. She did so well keeping up with the boys.

ALL IS WELL!

This is QUEEN ARIANNA. My friend Vanessa's daughter. The picture was taken a while back in her MAYAN outfit. But this past weekend Arianna was crowned Miss Catfish Festival Toddler Queen. Isn't she a cutie! You've come a long way baby!

Wyatt did wonderful and is doing great. The kids slept the whole drive home. We had to get up at 3am our time to be at the hospital by 5am their time. By the time we go home we were exhasted. Craig got his nap in when we got home and then I got mine.

What a weekend! I got a great Mother's Day gift. It is a digital picture frame. You put your memory card in the frame and the picture changes every few seconds. It is awsome! I brought it to work.

Another Busy Weekend Planned

Kids are in Louisville with Mammaw. - My mom came to get the kids to take them back to Louisville for the weekend. Last night was Wyatt's last T-ball practice and he got a trophie! He is so excited. Today mom is taking them to the Zoo to see the new baby elephant. They will get a special one on one with him thanks to AUNT CINDY. It's nice to know people in high places. I told mom to take lots of pictures. I hope to post them here when I get them.

Yard Sale at the HV Rec. Ctr. tomorrow - I still have so much to do. I will leave work early to get it all done, I hope! Come see us if you can!

Sunday is MOTHERS DAY. - Happy Mothers Day to all you Mommys! We will be on our way at the crack of dawn to pick-up the kids in Louisville and hang out with my Mom for a while. Then at 1:00 I will be standing for 5 minutes to "Save the World" and I will also be thinking of my friend Jeanne who will probably be standing on an airplane on her way to KOREA about the same time. Sunday evening on our way to Indy for Wyatt's surgery at 6 am Monday morning. We will have a talk about his surgery on the way to Aunt Janelle's (where we will be staying the night) in Indy.

Monday - Say a little prayer for my little boy when you wake up! THANKS!

HOLIDAY WORLD KIDS!

This is from last weekend when Craig took the kids to Holiday World.

I love the last one where Rylee has ice cream on her face. They had a

great time.

What Wyatt Wants Weekend

Well it was a "Wyatt' weekend. Craig took the kids to HOLIDAY WORLD on Saturday while I worked on my Yard Sale stuff. " HUGE YARD SALE AT THE HOLIDAY VILLAGE REC CENTER THIS SATURDAY " Then Yesterday we went to see Spiderman! Everything he wanted.
Well I am starting to get nervous about his surgery this coming Monday. He has Urethral Meatal Stenosis and has corrective surgery scheduled for Monday. I am not really worried about the procedure itself, just everything else that goes with it . He is going to Flip-Out. I will try my best not to cry right along with him. Poor little guy!

A light at the end of the tunnel

Well we are going to try again. CAMPING! I guess Adam and April felt sorry for poor Wyatt last weekend. They have invited us to go to Jellystone park with them on the 18th. They just bought a camper and it will sleep all of us. I have not told Wyatt yet. I will wait until the night before. I have learned my lesson on that. OH! Holiday World opens this Saturday. Craig has to work but I will be there with the kids. If you ever come during the week, Look me up. My office is the one with the blinds drawn. It's gonna be a big summer for Rylee. She hasn't been there when it was open. One more thing... SPIDERMAN III starts in theaters Friday! Wyatt can't wait to see it (me neither!)

The weekend was a BOMB!

I really hoped I would have some new pictures to post of the kids.
Well, We went camping and had a great start. All the kids were getting along so well and having so much fun. Then aroud dinner time Wyatt started feeling bad. He didn't get an afternoon nap because he was too excited about camping to sleep. I thought he was just sleepy. He had a little bit of hotdog and then layed down. Well then about 11:30pm he woke up saying he needed water. I got up to get it and "BLAH!" everywhere. Well we packed up the kids and went home (for the night!?!). We got the kids in their own beds then about 2am "BLAH!" again. And then the fever started. He was so upset the next morning. He wanted so much to go back camping. Craig was going to go pack all our stuff and come home but I said he and Rylee should go and I would stay with Wyatt. Well he slept about 18 out of 24 hours and would not eat much. He is almost back to normal now. He's a little PUNY. Rylee had a great time with Dada and she insisted he would be the only one to do things for her after they got home. Dada LOVED that!
After work today, we are going to look at a house, not yet on the market, that is for sale. 3 bedroom, 26 acres, barn, garage, ++. It is a great deal but still a lot of money for us. We will see. Then we are going to Evansville. Craig is returning shoes and I am giving blood. THEIR IS A SHORTAGE OF O- BLOOD!
