Trip to Stover, Mo
This weekend we drove 5 hrs. to stay at Mike's grandparets. We spent all day Friday with the grandparents. Friday night some more family came. By Saturday morning everyone was there. We started out with a birthday lunch and then we all went to a family wedding. Sunday we had a anniversary surprise party, another birthday party then we drove 5 hrs. back home. We had a great weekend that was full of excitement. We were exhausted Sunday night. It was wonderful to see all the family. Now, the question is who will be next to have a family reunion, oops I meant wedding. HaHa :) I know this is another long one but there were so many events, and so many people, and such a good time.

Growing up
I just have not been in the mood to blog lately. We have been so busy. Mike and I divided and concurred this weekend. Mike and Brayden went to Chicago to visit with Steves and Aimee. Emmalee and I went to Tuscola and Mattoon to watch Dalton play football and shop. Emmalee had a blast running the field and track with her cousin Savannah. But guess who was to absorbed with the game to remember to take pictures. I know! We had a great time and both Mike and I enjoyed the weekend. Here are couple of days this week. I hope you enjoy them.

BACK TO REALITY
Well it is back to reality. We had a busy week and a half or at least the first part was. Between Brayden and I being sick, pictures, the dogs having some air virus that sounded like kennel cough, Bailey break a blood vessel in her ear which called for several trips back and forth to the LeRoy Vet (which is 30 minutes away), packing for four, spending time with family and friends, then leaving for a five day get away. It sounds like a lot but it has been great.
We waited to leave for Mt.V till Sat. in hopes that we would be able to take Bailey with us but they decided it would be better for her to stay a couple of days at the Vet because she had a shunt and she was not clotting. We were a little concerned because we did not plan to be back in town for nine days but, Papa Bill went and saved her and our pocket books on Thursday.
We did not leave on our little get away till Tuesday morning so we got to spend time with a few old friends and family. Emmalee and I even went on a little road trip to West Frankfort on Monday to get the closest thing to a Rusty's Italian Beef that I have found. To our surprise Aunt Jodi was driving through (from TN to MO) at the same time and came to join us and catch up. On the way back home we stopped by Aunt Teri and Uncle Wes's new place. It is so beautiful and peaceful there.
Tuesday morning we got up and headed to the airport with Brett and Jessica and had a very slow calm five days. We actually got to go to the beach with out a big bucket of toys, lay in a lounge until it was too hot, swim without a child clung to your neck, go into little shops with out taking out a shelf or a rack with the stroller, eat two bits of your own dinner with out having to do something for someone else, go to bed when we wanted, sleep through the night with out kids interrupting, and sleep in as late as we wanted, and most important we did not have to change a diaper or make a bottle.
While we were gone the kids got to stay at their Mama's and Papa's. I am sure they had the best time. Doing all kinds of activities and seeing all the family.
Even though we had a grrrreat time we were ready to see our little ones by Sunday. We caught a direct flight and got home a couple hours earlier than we thought we would so we got to surprise them before they went to bed. We headed back, on our three hour drive, home on Monday. On the way out of town we stopped by Sharps and got a Wonder Roast, for those of you from Mt. Vernon you know what a scrumptious treat that is. We were planning on waiting till we got home to eat it but Mike took to long at the orchard and I could not resist. The four of use ate almost the whole thing on the way home in the car. When we got back into town we unloaded the car and Mike took off for the office and then he has a double header tonight. So like I said back to reality.
Sorry no pictures this time. We were on vaction away from the kids. Catch you next week.

Brayden's 9 Month Pictures
It started out feeling like it was going to be a day of "Mission Impossible. We had Brayden's 9 month pictures. We all have sinus colds with major runny noses. I even took our own box of tissues to Sears. Then Brayden my little smile boy would not look at the camera for anything and if he did he would not smile. I guess that is okay because then we could say, "When you were 9 months....". But, we did finally get a couple of pictures so have a look. Hope everyone is doing well. tk
