Monday's waiting experience...

For those of you who catch Camryn's updates on her site, you know that last monday we spent the whole afternoon at the Gillette's Clinic. OH.SO.FUN. Davin and Elli found a way to keep themselves busy, LOL

Cam just wasn't herself and we later found out that her ventricles still hadn't come down :( But home we were sent to wait :(

Pancake Breakfast at Easter

Photobucket

This was one of my favorite passtimes as a kid. We did tons of fundraisers at church to raise money for all the youth activities that we wanted to participate in. We used to sit at the griddle, oven, frying pan making pancakes, bacon, and sausage. The younger ones made orange juice. This was the sole fundraiser that we were able to go to Atlanta for the youth gathering. It was a BLAST!

Well now we were able to go and help support the kids that are going in 2010. They weren't as good at serving as we were, nor did they catch on fast, but boy did they learn alot. Like the fact that my son takes pure advantage of "all you can eat" and two sausages are not enough for Elli, and for Mikayla, the more orange juice the better!!!

Glad this isn't more than once a year, there will be new kids to torture next year :)

I just love easter, don't you?

Despite the recent discussion about what the eggs stand for, we did color some eggs...

From our house to yours!



Enjoy the day everyone!!

Practice 4/9




I'm thinking about playing with these, but I am not that familiar with photo shop that I would show them yet :)

Outside and goofin' around!

Chalk, Bikes, and playgournds... So much fun being outside goofing around :)



Mowin' the lawn ride

So the weather is getting nicer and stuff needs to get set up outside as we make the shift from winter to spring. Turning on the water, putting out the hoses, and of course, summerizing the riding lawn mower and going for a ride!!!!

So Dan cleaned it for the kids!


And took them out for a ride!






Would you believe the lawnmower needed a jump first? From my truck!!?!?!?!?!?

Spring (Training) is here!




I just love the look on her face when she hits the ball. Like it's going to come back and hit her or something!!!

Signs that Spring is here

I wish she would stay here without teasers this time :) We had 60, then freezing rain, then 60, then snow. I wish it would just stay 60 (or hgher!!!) and stay there for good!

I love this picture. The texture, the color. Dogwoods rock!


Yes, I did not get the opportunity to clean up some perenials this year, but have no fear, the buds will make it through the weeds!

While we wait for our appointment with Dr. P

The park sounded like the perfect place to take her to burn off some energy since she was cooped up for the scan. So we went to an old favorite of mine. Skyline park. It was designed by 6 year olds so you know it has to be fun!!

Where should I go???


Maaaaaaaammmmmm you can't catch me!!!


WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!


Push me mom!!!!


Blowing bubbles!!!



After all that steam was blown off, we got the news that her ventricles had not decreased, so her shunt was adjusted. Now let's see if this helps....
