Playing catch up....

So I haven't posted in a bit... I'm sure everyone is crazy curious what we've been up to, right? Well... Jerr and I went to see Rascal Flatts on the 17th. That was an anniversary present. We had a great time, just us, for a few hours.



We've been super busy painting the house. We've done the kitchen/dining room, living room that included super high over the stairs, the hallway and main bath. I painted the boys room and Vannah's room a few months ago. So now we still have our bedroom/bath, a bathroom and bedroom downstairs then we're done! Sorry no pictures of the house yet, maybe I'll get to it soon.

We went to Red Robin last Monday as a pre-birthday for Jerr and because the balloon lady was there. The kids love getting sickly full on steak fries and all enjoyed watching the balloon lady work her magic. They all now want to go to clown school. In case you can't tell what the balloons are... Skyler got a frog, Dylan a sword and belt, Savannah a butterfly and Jett a plane.



Friday was Jerrs 30th birthday so we had the house appraised. That's why we were so busy painting and cleaning... happy birthday, huh? We went to Chili's for dinner and then back home for some chocolate cupcakes, yum!


Saturday was a year since Jerr's dad passed away. Not a day goes by that we don't think of him. One thing the kids did was sit down and record him with an interview of his life. We watched it at Christmas time and it's fun to listen to all the mischeif he got into. I hope none of our kids inherit that gene!

Sunday we were supposed to go to Great Wolf Lodge, but about 2am Skyler woke up and couldn't breath very well so I gave him a breathing treatment and then spent the next 3 1/2 hours in the ER. He's better now, but I hope we don't have anymore of those episodes. So we had to postpone our visit till March. The kids were a little upset, but they realize we are still going so that's okay. Plus they get to save up more money to spend till then.

And the post just wouldn't be complete without a Vannah story. So... she comes walking into the kitchen in just her panties. It appeared to me that she had on a few pairs. So I told her to go take some off and get some clothes on. She came back in the kitchen later and told me she had peed her pants. I guess it was too much effort to pull down more than one pair of underwear. So as I started stripping and panties off one by one I ended up counting 11 pair!!! That was every pair in the drawer! She's such a stinker!

I think that's about it for now... Thanks for checking in on us!

The last jump...

Before we took the trampoline down last night the kiddos had a last jump. Jett loves jumping and being bounced around. It had been about 60 yesterday, but by the time Jerr got home it was a little chilly, but the kids didn't seem to care! Dylan came out later, but I had already taken the camera in and brought out jackets for everyone. I can't wait till it warms up and we get to put it back up and get the waterslide out again!

Happy New Year!

Can you believe it's here already?! It definately seems like the years go by faster the older you get. I guess that has something to do with how busy we are. We had some neighbors over and chatted and played games. We got several new games for Christmas, but got stuck on Pictionary Man. Quite a fun game... we did boys vs. girls... the girls won :) Skyler made it till 11:30. Savannah woke back up about 11:40 so she got to see the new year. Dylan wanted to watch a movie after the neighbors left (he's such a night owl!) I didn't let him... he didn't need to sleep all day today. Jerr went into work today because we'll be gone this weekend. We're spending a weekend in Branson (for our anniversary) with no kiddos... yeah. I just hope the weather is nice. By nice I mean no ice/snow/rain and temps above 32... that's not asking too much, is it?

We hope everyone has a great 2009 and may all your resolutions come true!
