Yay! A new background! Hooray for winter!

I am definitely technologically challenged! What is up with changing the background? I have done it before all by myself but today I am trying to put up a Christmas background and I cannot! Hurry and get home Caitlyn mommy needs you! Ha Ha! There are some cute ones too.
Oh well(sigh) on to other things.
It was good to see Lindsay and Nick over thanksgiving break. And Jordan too although I only saw him for about a minute!
Going down to see my mom with my siblings was great! Mom is doing okay.Missouri is very different in December than it is in July! Still worth going for! We did have great weather though, it was about in the 70's.
I am talking to Kristin while I type this! Hi Kristin! She doesn't know that though. Yay, school is almost over for her! Happy Graduation!

You know you love your child when...

This weekend was family weekend down at Morehead State. Doug and I went down to see Jordan and watch the football game. When we got there it wasn't raining to bad. Just a light sprinkle. It was doable to watch a football game in.


We sat there in our little 88 cent Wal-Mart disposable ponchos and were fairly comfortable.
Then came half-time.


It poured! And poured! And poured!


We stayed though for Jordan! We love him!

Apple Picking

Today Caitlyn, Chaela and I went to the Lynd Fruit Farm and picked apples! MMMMMMM...so good! I heard about it from Larissa Zitzman. She recommended the Honeycrisp variety and boy was she right! When Caitlyn took a bite I thought she was going to fall over from the impact of the flavor! We just got a 20 pound bag this time because we weren't sure what we were doing but I think we may go back and get more. Maybe even try a different variety. Chaela had fun but I think she really just wanted to walk around. She kept pointing out the bit of moon that was still visible.This is her eating an apple that is just about bigger than she is!


That farm had so much more than apples! We also got some sweet corn to try out. They had berries and melons and all kinds of things that looked so delicious! We will definitely be going back!

Chaela and Caitlyn Picking


Chaela and Grandma!

Hey Family!

Hey family its been a long time! We all know whats been going on so I won't go over any of that.
Congratulations Lindsay and Nick! It was a great day! Today your dad and I have been married 26 years, I hope you all make it this far! This day didn't start out to well so its a good thing dad and I went out last night!
While I was watching Chaela for Caitlyn this morning she managed to do some crazy things! Well alright 2 crazy things! First we were outside and she stepped in dog doody! LOL!!! Of course she sat down to get it off with her hands cause it was stuck to her foot! I was on the phone this whole time with Chevaun Craven. Finally she let me rinse her off with the hose. She herself was poopy this whole time too! Then I managed to give her a bath, still on the phone with Chevaun. Unfortunately while I was looking at her thinking how cute she was she slipped and got a goose egg on her forehead.:( Bad grandma! She is okay though, no vomiting or passing out! Whew!
So thats my day,
Love you all!
MOM

Missouri Here We Come!

How many more days til we hit the (literally) hottest vacation spot in the whole U S of A? Ten by my count! Although some of you have a little longer. Don't worry there will be plenty of sunshine to go around. I'm not so sure about dock space though or sleeping space! We could have anywhere from 23 to 32 people there from Thursday til Sunday! It's a good thing we like each other!
Right now the boat is not working but that seems to be the way it is every year at this time. It is being worked on and is usually fixed by the time we all get there.
If there is something you particularly like for breakfast or lunch you might want to bring it or just eat what ever is there. Aunt Marydawn is supposed to call me so we can figure out what the menu will be. What I am pretty sure of right now is that Caitlyn and Will are making kabobs one night, probably Thursday. Hamburgers and hotdogs for Saturday, and probably grilled Chicken on Friday. I'm hoping for a Mexican night!
Love you all and see you soon!

Mothers Day

Yes I know Mothers Day is over. Thank you all for thinking of me and calling me and for the food Caitlyn and Will cooked. And for the dishes I need to do today! HAHA! Just kidding I told you to leave them and there really is not that many! Lindsay thanks for the new son-in-law I will be getting! And dad thanks for putting in my garden! We will see if my experiment of starting the tomatos and peppers will work! I hope so!
I wanted to let you all know I am glad to be your mother and part of this family
Thanks!
