Sorry

Sorry it has been so long. We have had a very busy time the last couple of weeks. Tyler is feeling better now. He still has a little cough and a runny nose which has been passed to Taylor. We had a wonderful Easter weekend.
On Saturday we went to Wayne and Debbie's for a Easter/Birthday get together. The kids were very excited to see Grandpa's new boat. They had an Easter Egg hunt also. Buster got to come along for this trip and he actually didn't do to bad. He enjoyed sitting in the way back with the girls. On Sunday we went to my mom and dad's for Easter. We had a huge meal and then an Easter Egg hunt. The kids had a great time with all of their cousins. It was great to see all of the family.
The next week was extremely busy. On Monday we had a staff meeting and then had to go get Tay from her dad's. We didn't get home until 8:30. (The kids didn't have school on Monday or Tuesday so their stepmom watched Taylor on Monday and Tuesday.) On Tuesday the kids had dentist appointments in the morning. I took them their and then Tay went back to her dad's and Tyler and I went to work. After work I babysat so they met me at the daycare and then we went to go pick Tay back up. We then babysat until 8:30ish and came home. At this point I don't remember what we did on Wednesday or Thursday night. Friday the kids went to their dad's and they went camping for the weekend. On Saturday, Jason and I went to a Conference all day. I am really glad I am no longer in school. Narcolepsy set in and I had a really hard time staying awake. On Sunday we did NOTHING!!! I did go and get the kids from their dad's that evening. Mom and Lexi both celebrated their birthday's on Sunday and it was Travis and Heather's first anniversary.
The next week started off just as busy. On Monday night I got a phone call that my mom was going into surgery for her Gall Bladder. This was a little bit of a shock for me. I feed the kids and ate supper with them and Jason and then I headed to Pontiac. Mom's surgery went well and we got to see her just before 11pm. I visited with her for a few minutes and then headed back home. I got back home a little after 12:30am and it took about 45 minutes for me to fall asleep. Some time between 3:30 and 4:00 Tyler started waking up for unknown reasons. He got up about 6 times. At 5:15 my alarm started going off. I was not ready for this. Tuesday was a little rough at work. Tuesday night we went to bed early and slept all night. Wednesday night is when I started writing this. I got a phone call from a dear friend and we were catching up on our busy lives and sick children. Then Jason beeped in. He had a double header softball game that night. He called to let me know he was going to the E.R. He thought that he might have broken his hand. He had a ball hit at him and when he went to catch it, it hit his glove in a bad spot. He didn't go to the E.R. though because there were people waiting and he didn't want to have to wait all night. So on Thursday I got him to go to Convenient Care. At first they told him it wasn't broken and to just wrap it and take Ibuprofen. Then he got a call a couple hours later saying they found a fracture. He had to go back and get a splint put on. He has an appointment on Monday with orthopedics. Softball is on hold right now. Tonight we were trying to get a head start on packing things up. Okay Jason was. We are getting things ready for garage sales and hopefully moving soon. I am so tired tonight that I can't get motivated to do all of this tonight. Tomorrow we are going to take Buster to the big dog park and then come back to pack up boxes. Yeah. I hope everyone is doing well. I will try to get more pictures on here this weekend. The weather is going to be absolutely wonderful this weekend so I hope everyone enjoys. Talk to you later.

Here are the Pictures

Tyler's Birthday Cake
Once again, We have fireman and lizards. He went a little crazy with the red sprinkles, it was the fire.

Tyler is now 5

Well today my baby turned 5. He had a party last week at CAOS and today he had one at daycare. This past weekend he had one at his dad's house and he got a new pair of John Deere cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat from his Nana Donna in Texas. He was so excited. I just can't believe how fast the past 5 years have gone by. I am going to get the pictures on here of his parties. Just so everyone knows he picked out the cake, frosting, and decorations. The cake and cupcakes are definitely interesting but he loved them. The little red guys are firemen.
Jason and I went to St.Louis this past weekend. We left on Sunday and came back on Tuesday. We went to see the Cardinals Opening Day Game. We had a blast but it was pretty cold. The kids stayed with a Co-worker and his fiance that used to work at the daycare. The kids had a blast also. They went to a movie, musuem, dog class, and still had time for school. They even got to paint a canvas at their house. Our co-worker is quite an artist and he has a painting room. He picked up a canvas for both of the kids to pain. They loved it and by the sounds of it they wore a lot of the paint also. I will take some pictures of their paintings and but them on here.
This weekend we are very busy. We are going to Tuscola on Saturday to celebrate the kids birthdays and Easter. One Sunday we are going to Pontiac to celebrate Easter. I hope that everyone has a great Easter. I can't find my USB cord right now so that I can download pictures so hopefully tomorrow night I can get them downloaded and put on here. Sorry.
