What a trip!

Okay....we had a crazy trip. We left two hours late on Friday because of Hubby's car breaking down. So instead of a 5 hour trip, it took us 7 hours. I don't really want to relive all the details, but I thought I would share some pictures and video from the trip. Here is a video of Big T on the way there. By this time we had already been in the van for over 3 hours.


(Yes I realize that his seatbelt isn't on correctly....he must have slid it behind him while I wasn't looking.)
This next picture is of Aunt J helping Sweet E with something new. She loved C's headphones and wore them most of the night. The children were bashful at first, but they soon warmed up to everyone. Titus absolutely loved it when Great Aunt D took him out to see the pigs, cows, and the J@hn Deer*. That made the trip for him.
Then I wanted to share a video of Big T jumping on the trampoline with my cousin's daughter, C. The children had a wonderful time playing with C and having a sleepover. It's the first time Big T was allowed to jump on a trampoline and I think he really liked it.
After the children jumped on the trampoline the "big toys" got brought out. Uncle B brought out the go cart and Hubby and I took the children for rides. Here is a picture of Hubby with Sweet E and then a video of myself taking C around. Yep...it's pretty funny. We looked like the Shriners in those little cars, but it was fun. (Just really hard to get in and out.)
Then I wanted to show a picture of Great Grandpa with Little E. It's the first time anyone on this side of the family had seen him. And of course they all agreed that he was the best baby ever. ;) The next pic is just a random shot I took that day and then of course a sleeping picture of Sweet E on the way home from our short weekend.



(I should clarify that on Friday night we were with my Father's side of the family and we stayed with Aunt J, his sister. On Saturday we were with my Mother's side of the family.)

Show and Tell Friday (7/20)

Image
Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...

Illness and Ouchies

Image
Well...we have had an interesting start to our week. In the early hours of Monday morning Sweet E woke up 2 different times and had thrown up in her bed. She seemed perfectly fine and I took her to a local store. We were inside for maybe 2 minutes and she threw up again. So....I got her home and let her take a nice LONG bath. Then we didn't have any problems the rest of the day. Today....she didn't seem quiet like herself, but no big deal. Them about 7:45 this evening she threw up again. But now she is running around like it never happened. Both boys appear to be fine. Now...here is were the Ouchies come in. On Monday afternoon when Sweet E was sleeping, Little E fell onto something. It took the top layer of the skin on his lip off and cut his gums. I still don't know what happened exactly. He had a pretty big lip for the rest of the day. The swelling is barely even noticeable today. So..how is everyone else's week going? ;)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...
