Once again I have let way too much time past between postings and have missed documenting a million funny things that have happened. Everyday seems like an adventure around here but at least it never gets boring. So let's see, from where I left off last, our most excitement was coming from the NCAA Basketball Championships. Our family brackets were going fantastically because I was winning! This time of year is so much fun to live in Lawrence Kansas at least until KU loses!!! So that fun came to a screaching hault the Friday before Easter. We had been watched the games with friends which makes it all that much more fun. We are all a little supersticous so once we started watching the games together, everyone had to be at the same house, in the same chairs. On Friday when KU starting losing, our friend even grabbed Coop and made him sit with him playing the iPad just as he had done the games previous when we won. Unfortunately, even with these efforts, KU was eliminated and therefore ruined a large part of our excitement.
Anyway, we were almost ready for the Keefer Family Easter on time (please note that "on time" means within only 30 minutes late) when Coop bumped the containers of deviled eggs and sent them falling to the floor. So there we were with 48 deviled eggs all splattered in containers. Raelynn began to cry as she had helped make each of them, Coop stood silent, Terry frustrated and me initially panicing as we had no more eggs to prepare. However it didn't take long to realize I had to regroup and make this disaster work. So Terry took the kids to the car and I began repairing the pile of deviled eggs. We ended up only an hour or so late for Easter, which for us was not bad. We all ate the deviled eggs and didn't complain about how messy they were. And we had a fantastic Easter. It is always fun and the kids LOVE being at Aunt Bonnie's!
Then Sunday it was church, Easter Egg Hunt and Lunch with Aunt Karli and Chad. We played some Bball in the afternoon and again ended a great Easter!!!
This week has been pretty great as the sun is finally shining for multiple days in a row!!! We finally visited the new arrival of one our friends which Raelynn loved.
Coop and I had eye doctor appointments last night and Coop's eyes are getting stronger. Our eye doctor was astonished at how well he was doing. He will always have to wear contacts/glasses but every aspect of his sight is improving and he eyes will not be as big of an issue as mine were. We are however going to have to look at getting some plastic/durable ones for sports. We spend more time getting his glasses adjusted and fixed than we do anything else. They literally laugh when we walk in. If only they knew that half the time Terry fixes them and we never even make it in to see them. My eyes were actually better this time as well. We switched my contacts last time I was in and they were much more comfortable which also must have made my eyes happy!
Friday Coop went in for another weight check. We are still battling weight issues with him. I know so many people that would kill to have his problem :) Anyway, Coop weighs to the ounce the exact same as he did almost 2 months ago 34lbs 8oz. The good news is he did not lose weight so I guess it was good news but we have worked so hard to get weight on him and nothing. I really think this is just Coop and as long as he doesn't lose much we are not going to worry about him.
This weekend was a special one. We drove out to Scott City and celebrated Mom's 60th Birthday with a surprise party! There were so many family and friends there it was incredible. My Mom loved it and it was nice to give her something special. It was great for us too ecause we don't get to see all the family very often at all. They are a fun group of people so we really wish we did see them more. We also celebrated Chandler's birthday as well so it was a great celebration all the way around. As we left I asked Coop if he had fun. He said he did and he met a new friend and it was his cousin!!! He was so excited as if he never knew he had other cousins than Sherri's kids. It was super cute Anyway, it was an fantastic weekend!!!
Things are starting to get busy. The spring/summer fun is beginning and the sun is encouraging us to get out and about. Coop started soccer again this week with practice one day a week and games on Saturday. He will also start T-ball in May with another night of practice and gameson Saturday for that too. RL will start riding soon and this year she is racing sos she will practice 2x per week and horse shows ALL DAY on Saturdays. 2 kids, 3 sports and 1 parent that works on Saturdays........boy am I going to have fun. I just call it the kids shuffle and as long as nothing begins befre I get my morning run in, I will be just fine!! Actually this is what I love; the weather, the kids, the friends. It really can't get any better.
