Stay Tuned....

Big Post....coming up....picture overload...grab a coffee and get comfortable...

Home At Last

And boy am I tired.
Thought we had made it through the woods....AJ puked once more on the trip to Nshvlle, but thankfully it was outside. We spent last night in Huntsville, AL and Owen woke Steve up at 5:30 this a.m. saying, "I don't feel so good daddy". He barfed three times before we left and twice in the car. Tyler also seems sick and has been coughing a lot...sounds a lot like when he had RSV last month so I think I'll probably make him an appt. at the pediatrician's tomorrow, just in case.

More later.....I need some coffee and my bed.
Although I think we're out of coffee. And creamer. And the fridge is empty.
I'll just go to bed. As soon as I put some sheets on it.

Catch you tomorrow.

....Or Bust

We're heading out this a.m.....could be a rough ride.
AJ woke up crying last night and when I went up to see what was wrong, found him covered in...you guessed it - vomit. Seemed better after he yakked last night (and cried for about 2 hours from stomach cramping), but we were slated for a 12+ drive to Huntsville, AL. Since we're tired from the Vomit Adventure, we decided to just to the 10 hr. drive to Nashville, hit Huntsville the next day and then go home from there.

See you on the other side...

Hope everyone had a great Christmas.....HEre's a few snaps of what we were doing on Christmas day. Had a great time at a local hotel with an indoor waterpark....our gift from my brother and sister and law, but the whole family came. It was a lot of fun.
There was a 3-story twisting water slide....at first the only one who would go down it was my nephew Robby (and of course, Steve-o, and my brother Rob, and my brother Joel, and ME :)
but then AJ wanted to try (but only if Steve-o went with him). By day two, AJ was climbing the winding stairs 3 floors up all by himself and doing it alone. I was so proud of him.


Robby was up for it from the get-go.....
Jonathan was going solo by day two...
Steve-o waited at the bottom to catch the kidlets....
AJ getting ready to push off...
jonathan twisting down....
AJ again....
Heading home tomorrow.....
I'm sad, but ready too. It's been a long two weeks of travel.
Hope your holidays have been great - see (some of you) soon!

Winner for Coolest Lights Display Ever Goes To....

IT's a classic, but so fun.....watch. And try not to have a seizure at the end.

Here's What Steve Was Doing This Morning....

While I took Cooper for a walk. It's a snowblower in case you've never seen one. On my walk, I almost fell about 4 times on the ice...probably looked pretty ridiculous slipping and waving my arms around so as not to lose my balance. Good news: I didn't fall. Better News: My camera wasn't harmed in the process.

Some trees across the street. I had visions of getting a lovely closeup of the branches but the snowbank was about 6 inches deep and I was NOT going to walk through it in my tennis shoes.

A branch on a plant out front.

Sorry to any family or friends up north for the onslaught of snow/winter pictures forthcoming who see this stuff every day and are probably bored out of their minds already. But the natives in the south have never seen it, so it's pretty novel to them. Enjoy, southern friends! More to come in the days ahead!

HUH?!

Ok, really....i AM going to bed....but I thought you might find this fun.

I was just looking at my blog analytics. It tells me where in the country people view my blog, what browsers they're using, how many hits I get per day, how people access my blog (links from other blogs, etc)....blah, blah, blah. Every once in awhile I actually read it.
ANYWAY....before I made my blog private, people could do a google search and my blog could come up as a hit, depending on what they searched for.

Here are a few things that people searched for, and found my blog. These are the ACTUAL things that other people typed into search engines:


"how long does mozzarella cheese last"
"high price of furniture and rugs" probably not what they expected when they came to THIS post.
"baby not dropped 38 weeks what does it mean?" it means you're in for the long haul honey.
"hold urine contest desperation"
"running over animals roadkill stories"
"cleaning a flesh biting bug infested carpet"
"how to set up baby pool grid using date born"
"lightheaded, tunnel vision, nausea"
"something to do on a rainy day" read my blog of course!
"she's weird" Yup. You got me.

Fun, huh? :)
