I love the excitement and the family time. It is always so crazy but also so much fun. The kids head back to school tomorrow which is sad. It means we have to get back to a routine, bedtimes, early mornings, etc. I am never ready for it. I love coming home over my lunch hour to my giggly kids and seeing what they have dreamed up while I was gone. I love letting them stay up later to snuggle why we watch TV or go to an AMAZING late night KU game! I guess I just wish I had more time with them, fun time, not time when I am telling them to get in the shower, brush your teeth, pack your lunch, blahblahblah. Anyway, needless to say, I am not excited to see them go back but it is part of life and another sign of them growing up.......tear, tear.<br />
<br />
So back to the fun stuff! Last night's KU game against OU was AWESOME! 3 Overtimes! Are you kidding me!? The kids had a blast, I mean who wouldn't. It was super fun and I loved being there as a family. It was well worth the late night. Santa brought us the tickets this year and we are so grateful! The kids lucked out that they still had one more day off so they slept the morning away while Terry and I dragged ourselves out of bed. My 4am alarm came way too early, but again well worth it.<br />
<br />
So I have a little sad news, sad to me anyway. I have been thinking about this for some time and finally decided it was time. This will be my last blog post, it is coming to an end. It has been so much fun to do over the past 8 years but things are changing and it isn't as fun for me any more and has become a chore. The problem is the kids are growing up. They now read the blog and therefore some of my funniest stories and thoughts I can no longer post. It has taken the fun out of it for me. I love sharing some of the amazing things the kids do and say from my point of view but it's often not what I want to share with them at this age. I print this blog into a book at the end of every year and I always knew the kids would read it some day when they were grown up and would love it. But for them to read it now it just limits what I can post. It's also out of respect to them. They are getting old enough that they don't want me to share some of our stories. They are awesome stories to us as adults but to them they can be embarrassing or humiliating at times. I would never ask them to stop reading the blog because that just seems wrong, I mean it is their life story I write about. Anyway, bottom line it is time to bring this blog to an end. Some day I might take it up again with a different focus but for now I will have find another way to document our crazy lives as our amazing kids grow up.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone that has offered us support, laughter, advice, encouragement and love through this blog over the past 8 years. We appreciate each and every comment along them. Thank you! As many of my posts ended.......I cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings!WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-9381944637181853832015-11-29T18:01:00.001-06:002015-11-29T18:01:10.664-06:00MY HEART IS FULL......Cooper turned 8 today. We had a wonderful day. It involved family, ice skating and presents, the perfect birthday for my 8 year old. As I tucked him into bed I almost starting crying. He was so excited about his gifts and could not stop chatting about them and although I wanted to listen to him all I could think about was where we were 8 years ago and how incredibly hard it was. This happens to me at each of his birthdays but I just think about our journey over the last 8 years. There has been so many tears shed but even more happiness and laughter. Cooper has changed our lives in a way I can never describe but in every way it has improved us each individually and as a family. I want nothing more than that sweet boy to be happy and happy he is. It was a wonderful day! I am also so thankful for such a great family who does everything they can to be a part of my kids' lives. I love that about our family. Even if they can't make it, they call and let the kids know they are thinking of them, for all of them, I am so thankful. <br />

Thanksgiving was awesome as well. As usual we went to Bonnie's for Thanksgiving and ate way too much food. What was different this year was that Raelynn was by my side cooking and it made Thanksgiving even better than it usually is. She made 3 pies all herself and helped me whip up 10lbs of mashed potatoes, rolls and stuffing. I cannot tell you how amazing it was to be with her cooking and laughing and complaining a little too, I mean pealing 10lbs of potatoes is not that much fun. Thanksgiving morning we were running late and as I jumped in the shower and was rushing around, Raelynn runs in and says, "Ok Mom everything's loaded in the car so when you're ready we should be good to go...." Where did I get these amazing kids!? I smiled and thanked them and before long we were off. It made for a super Thanksgiving. There is much to be thankful for. When I asked the kids to name one thing they were thankful for Raelynn answered her horse and Coop answered his friends. They both spoke to my kids' loves and it made me smile. What am I thankful for? My family. I am blessed beyond belief. I am happy. I am content. I am in love. I am loved. There is little more anyone could want.</div>

So after this long weekend and so much fun it is time to get back to work. Working out, cooking dinner, going to work, shopping for the holidays and a thousand things in between. It's my life and it's perfect!WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-67697340907458608752015-11-09T22:24:00.000-06:002015-11-09T22:24:29.656-06:00HE DOESN'T GIVE US MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE....I firmly believe God does not give us more than we can handle. I also believe he has a sense of humor. After all the medical challenges we have been given with Cooper, I think God finds great humor in watching me deal with Raelynn when she has an ailment. Today I had to pick her up early from school because she did not feel well. She didn't have a fever but her throat, head and stomach hurt. When I picked her up I felt bad for her. Her eyes were almost tearing up and you could tell she just didn't feel good. I took her to the doctor because there was a large amount of kids in her class out with strep. She tested negative for strep so they determined it was just a viral thing and had to run its coarse. Good news right? Well I think I would have rather been able to medicate her. For the next 3 hours she wined and whimpered like she was dying. Seriously?! I could do nothing but laugh. All I could do was thank God that he gave Cooper the medical issues and not Raelynn because had it been reversed I can guarantee I would never make it. Finally about 8 o'clock Raelynn fell asleep. The silence was awesome. I love that girl so much but she is definitely a bundle of drama at times. I can only hope and pray she wakes up feeling much better tomorrow because if I have to spend an entire day listening to her near death moans and groans I may not make it! Lol!<br />
<br />
What a weekend we had. Coop participated in a soccer tournament and he and his team did an amazing job. It was a great group of boys and parents. He played Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They ended up playing in the championship game and going into sudden death to win it. Honestly it was so exciting. I loved every minute of it. Then Sunday night it was finally back to Lawrence for Raelynn's basketball game. I am lucky enough to be helping coach her team. Again, a huge challenge but they improved from last week and that is all we can ask for. I love basketball and Raelynn really enjoys it as well which makes me happy. She works very hard and I am proud of her efforts. It's something she does that I understand and so many of the things she says and talks about in regards to it I remember thinking and feeling the same way. It is one of the few activities we have in common.<br />

Saturday was Terry's Birthday so after we got back from the soccer tournament we met up with his sisters and brother and had dinner. Raelynn wanted to surprise Terry with going to the new Peanuts movie that was just released. Terry loves the Peanuts comic strip and when Raelynn found out the movie was being released the weekend of his birthday she insisted that be what we do for his birthday. He loved it and it was a fun night at the movies. <br />

So we have been having so much fun and considering it is November and the holidays are right around the corner, we have so much more fun ahead! I wish every day could be a weekend!WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-81388917723177371072015-10-28T22:12:00.000-05:002015-10-28T22:12:30.622-05:00I AM OFFICIALLY OLD!Unfortunately I have finally entered into the 40 Club! I must admit that age does bother me a little. The thing is I don't feel like I should appear "old" to my kids. I remember my parents being 40 and I thought it was sooooooo old. Now that just depresses me! I asked Raelynn if I looked 40, without hesitation she said "Yes, but you look better than most Mom's that are 40!" I really wanted to take that as a compliment but I am still unsure if I should. I will say that I couldn't be happier with my life at 40 though. I have a wonderful family, good job, nice home and great friends. Therefore I guess I will just embrace my 40's! <div>

Saturday was my birthday and I started it out with a little workout and then was off to a horse show with Raelynn. From there I took Coop to his soccer game and then back out to the horse show in time to watch Raelynn in races. It was your average crazy Saturday. At about 5pm Terry tells me we have reservations for dinner at 6pm so he hoped this was over soon. What!? I was shocked and happy but at the same time could have used that information about an hour before so I could go home and get ready. I left them all at the horse show and headed home to get ready. By the time Terry got home and took the kids over to Andrea's, I was ready to go. We headed out for our date night and Terry pulled in to Henry T's. Now if you live here you know you do not need reservations for T's so I was a little suspicious. To my surprise there was Andrea, Vince, Cody and Steph to celebrate my birthday with us. I was so excited to see them all. A night out with my great husband and my best friends was PERFECT! We had a blast and I couldn't have thought of a better way to celebrate my birthday. I can't thank them all enough for making me feel special. Steph even got a little creative and made me the perfect birthday cake.</div>

So after my fun weekend and achieving absolutely nothing over the weekend, Monday rolled around much too quickly. I had no menu planned, no workouts outlined, the house was not cleaned, work was not complete and I was still finishing up laundry as I got up Monday morning. Both Raelynn and Coop started basketball this week. I am helping coach Raelynn's team and Coop is still finishing up soccer as well. It has made for a pretty crazy week and we can't forget the late night everyone had last night watching the Royals in 14 Innings!!!! Raelynn has her last Lights On performance tomorrow night. It is so hard to believe we are having "lasts" for elementary school. She is growing up way too fast and over the past month or so it has been so evident. I truly hope she and I's relationship can maintain the way it is now. I love her and she needs me so much now but in such a different way than when she was little. I hope I never let her down and can always figure out how to be there for her even when she doesn't think she needs me. This Mom gig is a tough one and by far the best thing I have EVER done in my life!!!!!</div>

Every year our entire family tries to get together to go to the pumpkin patch. This year Sherri and Kendal weren't able to make it due to work schedules but the rest of us did. It was a full day on Saturday starting early with the first of 2 soccer games for Coop. <br />

Then it was off for a shopping spree for my birthday which was super fun for me. Mom, Steph, Karli and I went to my favorite place and I loved it!!! <br />
<br />
Then it was home for taco soup and some cards. It was a great day. We were exhausted but it was so much fun. Family memories are the best ever!<br />

<br />WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-86153696837374357982015-10-05T22:09:00.001-05:002015-10-05T22:09:52.486-05:00IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS.....So I am completely absorbed with my new found passion for online grocery shopping! I started it about a month ago when I happened to hear a commercial about HyVee offering online grocery ordering. If you know me you know grocery shopping is the one and only kind of shopping I despise. I don't care about food that much and I certainly can't stand the amount of money I spend on it. However, the rest of the family seems to think food is relatively important and therefore every week I write a menu and head to the store. I go to the store at the most random times; 10pm, 4am, 6am, etc. Once in awhile I try to do the whole grocery store trip over my lunch hour which NEVER works out well. Anyway, when I heard you could order online and then have it delivered or pick it up just by pulling up in front of the store and calling them, I thought it was worth a try. Literally this has changed my life (ok that may be a slight exaggeration). It is awesome! Not only can you always make sure you are buying the least expensive item but you also don't buy a bunch of stuff you don't need. Not to mention, when I think of something and wonder if we are out, I just get up and check the cupboard. Seriously it's incredible. I am saving money AND taking half as much time as I used to. I really can't believe the convenience of it. Anyway, it makes me very happy. I compare it to online banking, without online banking I think I would die! Online grocery shopping is going to be the same way. <br />
<br />
So let's see...... Saturday was Raelynn's last horse show of the season. She did great but this year was rough with so many missed shows due to her fractured wrist and rain outs. She improved so much though from last year. I really am proud of her and cannot wait to see what another winter of lessons does for her. <br />

Miss Hadley came to the horse show too. I love spending time with Cody, Steph and Hadley. They always make me happy! Hadley liked taking rides on Patches and Raelynn was more than happy to lead her around. This wonderful woman that takes care of the prizes at most shows and does so much for the youth in our circuit made sure Hadley got a little prize as well. Steph sent me this picture while I was at Coop's soccer game and I knew instantly it was Paula who had given her this little stuffed pillow pet. This lady is honestly one of the kindest, hardest working, strongest and most dedicated people I have ever met. She always makes sure the kids are taken care of and goes above and beyond every day. I just love her to pieces and couldn't help but smile to know Miss Hadley got to meet Paula as well!<br />

Between Raelynn's Showmanship and races I snuck away for Cooper's soccer game. I love watching the kids do what they love and Coop loves soccer. He is so much faster now and able to keep up like never before. It is sometimes hard to believe he has been through so much. You would NEVER know he has had 3 open heart surgeries, that we about lost him at 6 months old, that he didn't really eat until he was almost 4 years old, that he was on such a medicine and tube feeding regimen that there was never more than 30 minutes in every 24 hour period that we weren't feeding him or giving him meds, it's all almost unbelievable now. I also realize that Terry and I should never complain about being tired because back then we were tired! Now we are in happy and grateful. Our kids are beautiful and wonderful and self sufficient and frustrating and challenging and exactly what they should be! We have to be the luckiest parents alive. I know I say it all the time but I really am so thankful for the life I have. I am happy and although that seems simple, I am so thankful that I can say and mean it every day!<br />
<br />
So another week is ahead of us but we made it through Monday so I figure it is all good from here! Not to mention, rumor has it we will warm up a little this week too! I am not ready for this cold weather to stick around! Bring on the warmth!<br />

People are crazy! Whenever it seems everyone is being unreasonable, grouch or just strange you can count on the fact it is a full moon outside! Anyway, the moon has been super cool the past few nights but man, I am ready for it to be over!<br />

This week life has been soon easy! Finally all of my BIG obligations are over. It seems like since August 1st I have been running a hundred different directions but it has all finally ended. We had our CCF 5K this past Saturday and it was another successful year. Every year I am so amazed at the support from family, friends and the community. I am also amazed at our committee. I mean, I know why Terry and I spend hours working on things for the foundation, because we want to give back to the community what they gave to us. But what drives our board members and committee members is beyond me. They are work so hard to make everything happen and we are so grateful for them.<br />

One week ago tonight Raelynn experienced her first concert at Taylor Swift. We went with Andrea and Jackie and had a great time! Raelynn loved it and said it was even better than she expected which made me super happy. We didn't get home to the early morning hours of Wednesday though so we all struggled at work and school. Bedtime Wednesday night could not have come fast enough!</div>

The rest of the week was packed with 5K stuff. In addition to work. We hired a new employee which has been great but always makes my work load a little heavier. I don't mind at all because I actually love to train people but then that leaves my regular work to do around training. Anyway, I love my job so again I don't mind but the week was already insane so having work a little crazy too was challenging. However I must say it has made this week even that much sweeter now that most of my chaos is over.</div>

My family was up for the 5K so it is always fun to have a house full. I love that they come up to support Cooper's Cause Foundation as well. I must say I have an extremely supportive family. It's also just that much sweeter now that my nephew Hunter is getting old enough to play with Coop and Hadley is up and running around with them all as well. I love family time and watching the kids with their cousins. </div>

After a slow week ahead this weekend will be filled again with horse shows and soccer. This is the last horse show of the season and Raelynn finally has her brace off and her wrist is healed. We hope to get a final release from the doctor in 2 weeks but he gave her permission to ride with the brace on (not that we haven't been riding with the brace on for the past month but shhhhh). Anyway, fun weekend ahead!<br />

Raelynn has been going to the Kansas State Fair for the past 4 years or so but Terry, Cooper and I have never been. This is the first year that Raelynn was old enough to qualify to compete and qualify she did! Raelynn headed out Thursday at 5:30am with a caravan of campers and horse trailers and Terry, Coop and I left Thursday night. Raelynn showed early Friday morning and she did fantastic. I was so proud of her. The competition was hard as her age group is 9-13 so she was competing again 13 year olds. In addition this is the first year her horse had done horsemanship so he is still learning as well. Anyway, Raelynn didn't let that bother her. She came out of the arena all smiles which is exactly what I wanted to see. We were so excited and we exited the arena with her. We were taking pictures and congratulating her when I felt Coop hug my legs. I looked down and there were tears running down his cheeks. I instantly squatted down and hugged him and asked what was wrong. Well come to find out, in our excitement we had all left the area but Coop did not follow. He was watching the other competitors and when he turned around we were no where in site. Not one of my best parenting moments. I couldn't help but laugh a little because even when he was hugging my legs I hadn't realized he wasn't there in the group of people with us. Poor little guy. I will say as we laughed about it later, he too joined in the humor of it. The rest of the day we spent checking out the fair and there is so much to see and do. One of Raelynn's bunnies received a Blue Ribbon as well! We didn't get back to our hotel until 11:30 that night. I completely understand now why Raelynn loves it so much! I can't thank Bonnie, Wendi, Mike and all the others that make the experience so fun for her. They take good care of her and I am so thankful she is given this opportunity!<br />

Saturday we got up early and headed back to Lawrence to be ready for Coop's soccer game that afternoon. Coop's team played the only other undefeated team in the league. The game went scoreless until the end and each team scored one goal. Therefore, they are both still undefeated. Coop loves soccer. It is so cute to watch him play with so much energy and excitement. I could watch it all day! Steph and Cody had come over for Coop's game and they spent the rest of the afternoon with us. It was great to just hang out with them with nothing in particular to do. It made for an awesome Saturday. I also had so much time with Hadley since Raelynn was gone. She usually demands most of her attention, but on Saturday it was Aunt Kristi Time! Coop also had one of his buddies spend the night, so it couldn't have been better!<br />
<br />
Today we cleaned and put out the fall decorations after church. I managed to get some paperwork done as well and the usual weekly menu and workouts are planned. This week is jammed packed with things to do with the CCF 5K on Saturday. I am crossing my fingers for a great turnout!!!!<br />

Friday night I had a meeting and came home to a few extra kiddos. I love that the kids have friends that like to be at our house. I hope that continues forever! Saturday started bright and early with a handful of things that had to get done. Raelynn was suppose to have a horse show but was rained out due to a couple nights of rain leaving the arena too muddy. So we filled the day by running over to R Bar B looking for magical burgundy boots! You see, Raelynn's outfit for her state competition which is this Friday requires her to have burgundy boots. Did anyone know they only make burgundy boots priced at $400! So the poor people by cheaper boots (By the way, are there such things as cheap boots?) and dye them burgundy. However, of course, no burgundy dye was in stock so what does any desperate, overwhelmed Mom do? She grabs her phone and visits Amazon who will ship the burgundy dye to R Bar B by Wednesday and they agreed to dye the boots and have them ready for Thursday evening for Terry and I to pick up on our way down to State Fair so they are ready to go for "The Show Outfit" Friday morning! Thank goodness for Amazon Prime and super nice and helpful people at R Bar B! So we left there to stop by Steph's for lunch and then back to Lawrence for Coop's haircut that had to be rescheduled from Wednesday since he had to be at soccer practice when the rest of us had haircuts. From haircuts we flew home for Coop to change for his soccer game and Raelynn to get ready for her friends' birthday party. This is when the day fell apart a little. Coop was all good, but Raelynn could not find anything to wear. It turned into an ugly yelling match and a horrible parenting moment for me. I rarely loose my patience, I rarely yell and I rarely regret an entire conversation but this was once of those times I lost my patience, yelled and regretted the entire thing. I would like to think that will be the last time but I doubt it. Thankfully Terry showed up and agreed to take her to her party so Coop and I could head back to Topeka for his soccer game which Terry would join us at later. The good news is that by the time I picked Raelynn up from her party we had both calmed down and as we talked about our earlier argument we both apologized and agreed it was not the best moment for either of us. Anyway, the soccer game was fun as usual. I LOVE watching Coop play. He is so aggressive and works so hard. I think I love it most because he loves it and you can see it as he plays. Steph, Cody and Hadley came to the game as well and we ended at their house where they fed us for the second time that day. <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialPSXR5soV27TiJ3i8HjB_vPsT2_EsPlhXhKw03u_-bssdqV6CF0EEwXpPmhrgqiqi0ycJPxboSLxRC_WUgsWPR7DhEymxiwH_ruWTe3vor4mQw3VI-QbFw7a7WaWmOadWlpI2LTa/s640/blogger-image-2028591785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialPSXR5soV27TiJ3i8HjB_vPsT2_EsPlhXhKw03u_-bssdqV6CF0EEwXpPmhrgqiqi0ycJPxboSLxRC_WUgsWPR7DhEymxiwH_ruWTe3vor4mQw3VI-QbFw7a7WaWmOadWlpI2LTa/s640/blogger-image-2028591785.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmG9XrYYxZpB0eIs4d7BtryLXvImZ5lGXOTkANYfDuGk2qTtVhcfIkLgCO4XwuXIcHxWih9kTvi4Ct52UzXQ6phQyG9yczoLlTFF5-UNPATkb2vB2XR5OtByVJteCSIjmXZ4PCV2vS/s640/blogger-image-277089276.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmG9XrYYxZpB0eIs4d7BtryLXvImZ5lGXOTkANYfDuGk2qTtVhcfIkLgCO4XwuXIcHxWih9kTvi4Ct52UzXQ6phQyG9yczoLlTFF5-UNPATkb2vB2XR5OtByVJteCSIjmXZ4PCV2vS/s640/blogger-image-277089276.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div> Coop got to help Uncle Cody change the oil on their care and he thought that was the best.

So after a Saturday of getting nothing done that I needed to get done I had high expectations for today. It is now 11:30pm and I am where I wanted to be at about 8am this morning. Needless to say I still have so much to do. I sometimes wonder if I wasn't so insanely organized, if I would actually get more done. I did manage to get the weeks menu done, workouts scheduled, attended church, grocery shopped, completely gut and clean Raelynn's room, clean all bathrooms, our room and Coop's room, clear through some paperwork, laundry, make lunch and dinner and take a walk to the park with the kids, Steph and Hadley. Oh yes, after me being over at Steph's twice yesterday, she had to come and visit me because we left Hadley's car seat in my car! It was not intentional but was sure nice to get out of the house for a little walk and park play. So the day was great just not long enough. I still am swamped with stuff for the 5K on the 26th, PTO stuff, continuing ed for work, work in general, 4H projects that need completed, getting Raelynn ready to leave on Thursday morning and the rest of us Thursday Night and I am sure I am forgetting something but that is all my brain can think of. I headed to bed at 11pm tonight because I was exhausted but my head was spinning with to do's so I figured I might as well update the blog so as long as I am awake I am documenting why, Lol! Anyway, so in summary, the world really should adapt to a 4 day work week and a 3 day weekend. I feel like I have mentioned this before!<br>
<br>
This morning in church the sermon was regarding the 10th commandment, Thou shall not covet thy neighbor. Boy is this a hard one. I don't know that I ever really thought about it because quite frankly I wasn't clear on what covet meant. So as I realized it is saying I should not want what everyone else has and I should not be envious or jealous of others I realized this is one commandment I break all too often. I had to ask myself why because although I am often envious of what others have I am also super thankful and happy with what I have. As I listened this morning and really thought about it I realized I am envious of material things but when it comes to the things that matter, I have it all. I have a wonderful family that I love more than I can explain, I have everything that I actually need, and I am in general super happy with my life. It was like a slap in the face. How dare I every be envious or want what someone else has when I already have so much. I think I really needed to hear today's sermon because I walked out of there feeling satisfied with where I am and who I am. I am so fortunate and sometimes I just need a little reminder of how special it really is. </div>WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-9501358570880508482015-09-07T21:30:00.001-05:002015-09-07T21:30:16.953-05:00HAPPY LABOR DAY....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Would it be asking too much to have another long weekend like this? I am a firm believer that with a 3 day weekend every week I could actually feel like time with the family wasn't conflicting with the other 20 things that needed done. </div>

We started our Saturday off bright and early at Coop's soccer game. I love watching him play soccer because he loves playing it. He was selected to play on the tournament team again this year so he is very excited for that. </div>

I have several plans for Saturday following the soccer game but well, none of them really happened. I had originally thought we would go to the North Topeka Aquatic Center because we hadn't made it there yet this summer and this was our last chance. The kids decided they didn't really want to go though so then we considered going to the KU Football Game. That was a go until after the soccer game and Coop was tired and didn't want to go. Then we thought we would go home and rest a bit and then go for a bike ride. Well that led to Coop letting me know once again that his bike was way too small. He was right, it is and Terry and I had said we would get him a new one for his birthday but November is a long ways away. Not to mention, how likely is it that he can ride his new bike in November. So it was decided Coop would get an early birthday present and boy did we have an excited boy. Finally we ended up on our bike ride and had a great day!</div>

We ended our Saturday night with this cutie! Hadley had her first sleep over with us and she was crazy good. I could not believe how easy she was. Cozadd's came over for dinner as well and it took Hadley a little bit to warm up to Andrea. It was a fun night with family and friends. However, the evening didn't end there. Terry had disappeared before our friends left and although I thought it was strange I didn't think too much about it. I got the kids to bed and then walked into our bedroom. Terry was drenched in sweat and super dizzy. It was a little scary. He couldn't lie down at all without getting very nauseous and his head was spinning. It went on all night. I set my alarm for every 30 minutes and went to check on him. I think we were both a little scared and I was just happy all the kids were sound asleep. </div>

By Sunday morning he was feeling better and we decided we think he got dehydrated. Needless to say I think he will be drinking more water from here on out. We were suppose to join Steph and Cody and their family for some fun at the lake and I was a little hesitant to go but did. As they day went on Terry felt better and better and by the time we got home he looked and felt MUCH better. The kids and I had a great time at the lake. It was so nice for them to include us and it was another fun day with the kids. Coop saw this little turtle in their garage as we were leaving and of course Uncle Cody made sure they both got to hold the little guy! What would we do without that Uncle Cody! :)<br />

Today ended our long weekend perfectly. I got caught up on emails and paperwork and lunches for the week and menu done and workouts planned and laundry done and projects started and on and on. The best part of it all is that I did it all without ever getting out of my PJs! So now with a few things still on the MUST GET DONE list I am ready to get back to the chaos of the work week!<br />
<br />WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-81685114951841041682015-09-03T22:42:00.004-05:002015-09-04T09:50:45.828-05:00SUPER HERO DAY!Tomorrow is a Super Hero Day at school. The kids can wear their favorite super hero apparel, or if you ask Raelynn, make up your own super hero. My kids are so very different. Coop couldn't decide if he wanted to participate or not. He finally settled for wearing super man socks. Raelynn on the other hand was way too into it. She is Super PJ Girl with her sidekick, Pajama Pup (her build-a-bear). You may be thinking she is super creative but when it comes down to it, she just wanted a reason to wear PJ's to school!!! <br>
<br>
As we were trying to decide what Coop would be for super hero day he asked me who I would be if I could be a super hero. I thought about it for a minute and I told him I would want to be "Super Mom!" To which Coop replied, "Mooooom, you're already that, what would you be if you could be anything!" I smiled and in my best sweet and sarcastic voice I said, "Awe, you think I am a Super Mom!" Coop shook his head, buried his face in his hand and mumbled. "Oh jeez, this is going no where! You're crazy and of course you're a super Mom but don't get a big head about it!" That, of course was followed by a smoothing of hugs and kisses and continued taunting that I was a Super Mom! I doubt that Coop will EVER ask me what super hero I would want to be again.<br>
<br>
Seriously though I cannot think of a better super hero to be than a Super Mom! And what would my super powers be? Without a doubt the ability to multiply myself and be in multiple places doing multiple things all at the same time anytime I wanted. Wow, that would be the best super power ever!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhh-ZD6Seb6ByYeR5Jc8s1xwqpjdmuK5EfNBPwC6ryxJJQIUTR6-yVhTL4ft1ZZNbY74pabt5GEDl83L8gIJp6WJl9sBvP45DIXGrb8g7Zp-5sfJiL5EA7BgUH-WAY3iLXSS7KQyF/s640/blogger-image--824906109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhh-ZD6Seb6ByYeR5Jc8s1xwqpjdmuK5EfNBPwC6ryxJJQIUTR6-yVhTL4ft1ZZNbY74pabt5GEDl83L8gIJp6WJl9sBvP45DIXGrb8g7Zp-5sfJiL5EA7BgUH-WAY3iLXSS7KQyF/s640/blogger-image--824906109.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpz-yupiZY1HTUgt3BC6r70dzJmRBYqn1rPLD-fPwD0CRwjU1UeyV5gAvBVmyBvCWY78uNIv8nL2ph3gdrarMsQLy7EB2kNUZXHG6-6wIUV3DO9KVeKi1OB002F3v-1_KN7RhDC-C/s640/blogger-image-1409971249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRpz-yupiZY1HTUgt3BC6r70dzJmRBYqn1rPLD-fPwD0CRwjU1UeyV5gAvBVmyBvCWY78uNIv8nL2ph3gdrarMsQLy7EB2kNUZXHG6-6wIUV3DO9KVeKi1OB002F3v-1_KN7RhDC-C/s640/blogger-image-1409971249.jpg"></a></div><br></div>WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-42751379378564374052015-09-01T22:25:00.000-05:002015-09-01T22:25:30.269-05:00IT'S BACK ON......So here I am again, blogging. I keep thinking how I am missing out on documenting so many amazing things but its just finding the time to do it but I guess you just have to make time so I am! Summer was awesome! Summer is by far my most favorite time of year. The weather is warm and there are no bedtimes. It doesn't get better than that. We spend endless hours at the baseball fields and every Saturday at a horse show. I am actually learning to enjoy the horse shows too! Raelynn took lessons all last winter and it has made a HUGE differences in her riding, courage and confidence. She still loves everything about horses and her competitions and it is so rewarding to see our investment in lessons and horses paying off. This summer was a little odd though in the amount of rained out shows and eventually her fractured hand/wrist. We had so many rained out shows that our last horse show this year is all the way into October. We are usually done by early September. Raelynn also wrecked on her new bike she got for her birthday and fractured her wrist or lower part of the palm of her hand. She did this on July 12th and she is still in a splint. Ok, so maybe some of the delay in her recovery was because I ignored her constant complaints of pain for the first 4 days but what does one expect when she complains about body parts hurting ALL the time. Anyway, long story short, after multiple days of complaining I finally stopped long enough to look at the injury I thought she was just being a drama queen about it but it was incredibly swollen and black and blue. We visited the doctor the next day and finally after 4 sets of x-rays and what seems like an eternity in a brace, she says it is finally feeling better. We go back to the doctor tomorrow and cross our fingers, she will get to take the splint off. She is more than ready! Anyway, she missed a few shows due to this but I let her ride this past weekend and she didn't miss a beat and is right back in her element. This was the majority of Raelynn News over the summer and now she is back in school. She was scared to start 5th Grade, scared of her teacher and just plain scared to grow up. I expressed her fears to her teacher at our before school conferences and she seemed sympathetic. I never expected how wonderful her teacher would be though. We had told her that Raelynn enjoyed helping in the classroom and literally that very night we went in to drop off school supplies and meet the teacher, her teacher asked her for her help with a new student. Instantly you saw Raelynn relax and agree to help and jump right in. Literally I was shocked, her teacher didn't miss anything we told her. She instantly connected with Raelynn and these first 2 weeks of school have been a dream for her and for us. She does not have any friends in her class this year but that seems to be a good thing. There has been no drama nor has she felt left out. It is truly a wonderful start to the year. Now the thought that this is her last year in Elementary School makes me tear up but I will try not to think about that any sooner than I have too. <br />
<br />
Coop had a fabulous summer as well. He played baseball and now is in soccer. The kid lives for sports. He loves soccer, baseball and basketball and according to him, if he was allowed to play it, he would like football as well! He is so intense it is incredible fun to watch him. He is also laid back enough he doesn't get upset over much. We had the best cardiology appointment in early August than we have ever had. The leakage around the valve her received last year had completely sealed up and the doctors said he look great. We had been expecting a surgery in September due to the amount of leakage they had seen 6 months ago. Now they were telling us he looks great and doesn't even have to come back for a visit for a year! We have never went a year without a visit to cardiology. It was an incredibly free feeling and even Coop recognized the excitement of that. Coop is still a very laid back kid but that sometimes causes a little conflict between he and I. The boy does not have a "hurry" speed and sometimes his lacadasical attitude makes me what to scream but all in all he is still my sweet boy. Cooper loves school as well and is doing well, at least doing well except for last Friday. Last Friday he had a little trouble paying attention in school. I am not a big fan of misbehavior and we let Coop know it was not acceptable for him to ever causes problems at school. I made him write apologies notes to the teachers, apology notes to the other boys who got in trouble with him, a journal entry about his day and how it made him fee and his numbers from 1-150 in even numbers because that is what he was suppose to be doing at one time he got in trouble. All in all I think I got my point across because he has been great this week. It could have also been impacted by the fact that if he misbehaved again we would pull him from soccer! "No! Not Soccer!"<br />
<br />
Terry is diligently working on the basement in his free time on weekends. Finishing the basement has became a huge issue lately because Raelynn needs to move her bedroom down there and I need a place the kids can hang out with the friends. Therefore we finish the basement or move and well, moving is not an option right now! I truly can't wait until it's done because it really will open up so much more room for us. <br />
<br />
Tonight was a great night. We didn't have anything going on and we were able to come home, work outside for a bit, make dinner, do homework and get ready for tomorrow and everyone still in bed by their bedtimes. That does not happen very often around here but it sure is nice when it does. With the kids both so self sufficient and Raelynn's love for cooking, I will say the school nights have seemed much better than last year as well as the mornings. Raelynn now makes dinner 2X per week and loves it. I love it too because cooking is not my favorite things to do. So basically everything is fabulous and I have the best family ever! I guess I could have just typed that and summed it all up there!<br />

Usually I am ecstatic for Friday but tomorrow my sassy little girl leaves for 4H Camp and it makes me a little sad. I don't know when she grew up but it seemed to happen overnight. I love her so much and she makes everyday interesting. She will be gone for 4 days and we are going to miss her. When I was snuggling with Coop at bedtime he asked if it is tomorrow that Sissy leaves. I told him it was and he said real sad like, "Awe so no fun with Sissy for awhile." They love each other so much. <br />

The things I am thankful for today is being a mother, my boss Tom and God. Being a mother has been the greatest experience of my life. My boss, Tom, makes me laugh every day. He always puts family first and there could not be anything more important to me than that. I am thankful for God because he has given me so many blessings and without him I am sure I would be wondering and lost.WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-69541729339908192392015-06-02T23:58:00.000-05:002015-06-02T23:58:09.826-05:00I CAN SLEEP WHEN I DIE RIGHT?People that write self improvement books obviously do not have multiple jobs, multiple children and an inability to say no because if they did they would realize there is no time to for me to improve myself!!!!! I mean really! I start my day at 4 am and I still am not done. Yes I am partly to blame for that because I choose to do what I do but when you love what you do it's hard to say no to things. Today I went from workout to work to PTO meeting back to work to baseball game to home to maid, chef, organizer, bedtime story reader to communications representative to more computer time to now. In there somewhere I also grocery shopped, ran errands and explained to Coop why we can pee all over the toilet in the bathroom! Okay, venting is over and here I am trying to make my 2 minute journal entry for the day. There are so many things I am thankful for that it is hard for me to just write down 3 per day but I guess eventually I will get to them all. Today I am thankful for my sister Steph, my good friend Andrea and my job. Steph and I have been close for years and I always love watching her grow up. Even as I watch her experience motherhood I love seeing her grow. She is just an awesome person who makes me laugh. She knows what I am thinking without me saying a word and she is so supportive. She is also brutially honest but sometimes we all need that. I love her so much and am just so thankful that my sister can also be my best friend. Andrea is another of my best friends. I met her through our daughters and she is wonderful. She also makes me laugh and is every definition of a good friend. She is so giving, encouraging and supportive. I love her to death and am so thankful that our daughters became friends so I could find such a valuable friendship with her. I am so thankful for my job for every reason people are normally thankful for their job but also because I find it challenging and exciting.<br />

Coop had another baseball game tonight and I am happy to report he is still undefeated! These boys rock and I am having so much fun watching them.

Last week was awesome! The kids were home with the sweetest "baby sitter" in the world. This year we decided to have a friend's daughter watched the kids a couple days out of the week so they didn't have to go to Boys and Girls Club every day. The situation is that Coop is happy wherever he is as long as there is something to do that involves his buddies and a ball. Raelynn on the other hand has a very different opinion of things. She doesn't mind being bored she just doesn't care for certain things and one of those things is summer Boys and Girls Club. Last year was a struggle and I knew this year would be worse so we are doing what we can to accommodate because I absolutely understand where she is coming from. Therefore we have arranged things so she will only be at BGC for 1 or 2 days a week and one of those days is a swim day which is always good. Raelynn is also "working" at our old daycare a few days this summer. I cannot tell you how sweet it is of her old daycare providers to let her do this and she is so excited. Anyways we have the summer pretty well ready to go.<br />
<br />
Coop has had 3 baseball games so far and is currently undefeated. He loves baseball..........and soccer and basketball and the list goes on. It is fun to watch he and his friends though. The boys are really starting to grow up but they still love to cuddle with their mommies so it's almost the perfect combination. Raelynn had her first horse show of the season yesterday. It was evident that lessons are really paying off. We have all knew horses this year so we weren't sure exactly how things were going to go but she came out with 2 Firsts and 4 Seconds so not too bad at all. I was so proud of her. She has been working so hard and it is really showing.<br />

I am all into these self improvement books lately. It is a little weird because I am super happy with my life but I think things can always be better so why not work at making them better. I have stepped up my workouts, I am making sure the food around the house is healthier, I have completely outlined our budget and am working on improving finances and the list goes on and on. One of the things I read lately that would improve your happiness was to write down 3 things you are thankful for everyday and journal for at least 2 minutes. I have no idea how long I will keep this up but the 3 things I am thankful for today are Raelynn, Cooper and Terry. I would not have the life I have without them. Thankful is a huge understatement to what I feel for having them in my life. <br />

Today was a Monday. It hardly seemed we had a weekend and I felt like I was playing catch up all day. However, it was a beautiful day and it did not rain so that was A W E S O M E! When we got home I made dinner while Raelynn studied for her horse test and Coop played outside with our new neighbor. It's super cute to watch them. It's what I have always wanted for Coop, someone right next door he can always just run a play with around the yard. I love living in Lawrence!WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-20723132198309995772015-05-16T23:57:00.000-05:002015-05-17T00:22:25.131-05:00MY LIFE IS CONSUMED BY LAUNDRY............<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Am I the only Mom that feels consumed by laundry? I mean seriously, how can I do a load of laundry every night and still be buried in it by the weekend?! Oh yea, I remember now, it's called a girl that changes hourly yet everything she puts on is DIRTY! I remember my Mom always saying, "Why is this in the laundry, you just wore it for a few hours!" Now I totally get it. Today was a completely packed day starting at 7am. The kids and I headed out early to a strawberry farm to pick strawberries. It was a lot of fun however it is important to note for next year that 15lbs of strawberries are a lot of strawberries. After that Raelynn spent the morning cleaning horse stalls and riding Moon. Of course it was a perfect morning for her. Coop and I ran errands, cleaned strawberries, picked up the house and of course, did laundry. We picked Raelynn up a little after noon and ate lunch, ran more brands, clean more strawberries and did more laundry. We bought Raelynn a phone today. I had very mixed feelings about her having a phone until a few weeks ago. Situations arise that make you realize it is super nice that they can reach you anytime they need to. Sometimes it's to ask you questions you have already answered but they just didn't like the answer, and sometimes it's just to say I love you which to me says, "it's been a long day and I just wanted to hear you voice." Regardless the reason, it was time to give her the ability to reach us anytime. There are many restrictions that are going along with the phone but I am so happy she has it. Coop felt a little left out during the whole process and I feel for him. He will always be the youngest and the last to get things but it's life and I know how he feels but there are great things about being the youngest too. Anyway, we had one really happy girl. So Coop headed to a birthday sleepover tonight and I was looking forward to a night with Raelynn. It doesn't happen very often that she is home and Coop isn't but by 7pm she had a horrible headache and was in tears. I am so worried she is starting to have migraines like I do. It is awful to watch her and it brings back such horrible memories. I think I started getting them when I was 11 or 12. They hurt so bad and they got worse the older I got. It wasn't until after I had Raelynn that I finally received a daily medication that has pretty much stopped them altogether. Once I can be sure that is what is going on with her I will be seeking treatment for her because they are awful!!!!! Anyway, she is now asleep, I have received a cute pic of Coop and his friends from the sleep over and Terry is sound asleep on the couch. Another awesome day is over. I really do love my life and my family!</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxvH5Lanf7-nZC0uuWDFoHd-YwXO2vDIkbcTjwa3nwL3ef1c8qlC4_U9KF6xdQGG3OmzaPTUE9-LLdHtic8NjXZ-c4B6GBGbb9zl9_M1a93XKUYGtMwoFuR_YJY69-drhKwYzZctv/s640/blogger-image--522346499.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxvH5Lanf7-nZC0uuWDFoHd-YwXO2vDIkbcTjwa3nwL3ef1c8qlC4_U9KF6xdQGG3OmzaPTUE9-LLdHtic8NjXZ-c4B6GBGbb9zl9_M1a93XKUYGtMwoFuR_YJY69-drhKwYzZctv/s640/blogger-image--522346499.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCphaxzPpGoeV8HbK81vm0MbsopKbfGHW6klTgy0V8HZYDSJaEVM3o0qp1ZZAlvfEIBYlBj8EJSMpO24GyscKxp0OtEzHcnPBOA4j2jIjNWpWvgeeZldOCPwuWqOMGV_B7gNc1BlU/s640/blogger-image--1051375410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCphaxzPpGoeV8HbK81vm0MbsopKbfGHW6klTgy0V8HZYDSJaEVM3o0qp1ZZAlvfEIBYlBj8EJSMpO24GyscKxp0OtEzHcnPBOA4j2jIjNWpWvgeeZldOCPwuWqOMGV_B7gNc1BlU/s640/blogger-image--1051375410.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJjRXoyzkZzsFnwu5f3Yxva-o8OT05d3xZ6RH4GtMZz-cJc5hUYdT_LqN3Elm37-yTiG4nAwOKsvzytuLZO-OP8YY-zJ98r_WQ49viD_P8YcWGxOyTWBOn4ud6QT7-cZuBz33f5DK/s640/blogger-image-1639606912.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLJjRXoyzkZzsFnwu5f3Yxva-o8OT05d3xZ6RH4GtMZz-cJc5hUYdT_LqN3Elm37-yTiG4nAwOKsvzytuLZO-OP8YY-zJ98r_WQ49viD_P8YcWGxOyTWBOn4ud6QT7-cZuBz33f5DK/s640/blogger-image-1639606912.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT3asW-rdDL6aB7xfI893nWlvqblIFblZxccyHlE9LP0P3EEyLLNyWjvO8YdbWyoWSk5dOglZ0Vuoxa-fLDpGFwGzsvbEN6rmxMEj0d662cVY96AXnaAreM9PuX5h6I1cM-KjdUQvs/s640/blogger-image-388735356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT3asW-rdDL6aB7xfI893nWlvqblIFblZxccyHlE9LP0P3EEyLLNyWjvO8YdbWyoWSk5dOglZ0Vuoxa-fLDpGFwGzsvbEN6rmxMEj0d662cVY96AXnaAreM9PuX5h6I1cM-KjdUQvs/s640/blogger-image-388735356.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Raelynn 's Baby Bunnies</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Gju7rnRok5wweV4Ieg6uRvP5PZR704qghpRqyULDZ-VdCXT5dthOcKPicdijkQMAF3qiBTU-W2dCmPkdTfoORF1q86ueSdmDPrsiVOD8YXZivyuoPYrha5BJoWKjMr6diiuufcs3/s640/blogger-image--1595334397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Gju7rnRok5wweV4Ieg6uRvP5PZR704qghpRqyULDZ-VdCXT5dthOcKPicdijkQMAF3qiBTU-W2dCmPkdTfoORF1q86ueSdmDPrsiVOD8YXZivyuoPYrha5BJoWKjMr6diiuufcs3/s640/blogger-image--1595334397.jpg"></a></div>Coop's First Baseball Game</div>WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-86222300677652060102015-04-22T22:28:00.000-05:002015-04-22T22:30:10.608-05:00MY SWEET BOY....My sweet Cooper. I always say he is the sweetest boy ever but is still such a boy. He says "I love you" about a thousand times a day. He says it so often I sometimes think he doesn't even realize it. This past weekend he says, "Mom you know what?" This is always followed by "I love you" and sure enough that was what he said. Then he said, "Mom do you know why I love you?" I said, "No but I would love to know why you love me." His response, "Because you show me you care about me every day." Of course that earned him a big hug and kiss! He's just so darn cute. Tonight he was saying his prayers and he always thanks God for our food, warm home, etc and tonight he ended his long list of thanks with, "and most importantly thank you for just a little bit of sugar." I had no idea that sugar was so important to him. However, I had allowed him to pack 3 squares of a Herschey's Bar in his lunch tomorrow and that must have been a bigger deal than I thought!<br>
<br>
Last night was Coop's 1st Music Program. 30 Minutes or so before the program was to begin, the electricity went out. Mrs. Bonner, the amazing music teacher, acted as if it was no big deal and just moved the program outside. The kids loved it. We were fortunate to have a beautiful evening. The kids just gathered around and sang and many danced. Coop usually hardly sings but last night he sang and danced the entire night. It was pretty funny! That was followed by a trip to Orange Leaf for what seemed like the entire school was there. It was so fun to watch the kids with their friends and watching them having so much fun. I truly feel like we are surrounded by some of the most amazing families. I love our Deerfield friends!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkoMBy1wtFX9UHaU1z9LpYmOcKFh-Ioc3mcQuPqjY4U12xmUrJLu-Kq7ASkyKzQrO9ljccwCdkITH3ePAjvhsGqDPhqOo1nOLrgsnfhw9NKUozTH4JczL4nONGDcYs6rSDAKCfJqmh/s640/blogger-image-178295835.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkoMBy1wtFX9UHaU1z9LpYmOcKFh-Ioc3mcQuPqjY4U12xmUrJLu-Kq7ASkyKzQrO9ljccwCdkITH3ePAjvhsGqDPhqOo1nOLrgsnfhw9NKUozTH4JczL4nONGDcYs6rSDAKCfJqmh/s640/blogger-image-178295835.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0MXhpGY-mcW5VtNrYGamlXBjF4KF1Zg7BT95xZIb91Vpe_I7oPQ4w5T6AnLKSwEgL5vePlGD3iTAf604ii5HeGtMi4hRSjHpAhgVKN_NcoSUXxDWICXv1lvZfz2Tc2ScuHL3auL-j/s640/blogger-image-906950459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0MXhpGY-mcW5VtNrYGamlXBjF4KF1Zg7BT95xZIb91Vpe_I7oPQ4w5T6AnLKSwEgL5vePlGD3iTAf604ii5HeGtMi4hRSjHpAhgVKN_NcoSUXxDWICXv1lvZfz2Tc2ScuHL3auL-j/s640/blogger-image-906950459.jpg"></a></div><br></div>WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-38289183518826046392015-04-19T22:58:00.001-05:002015-04-19T22:58:36.921-05:00Keeping up…<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Keeping up with this blog is became virtually impossible, and by virtually impossible I mean totally and completely impossible!

Raelynn has started riding lessons consistently now as the show season approaches. She lives and breathes to ride. I remember when she was small and I wondered how long she would stay interested in it. I assumed it was a passing phase but I was seriously mistaken. Her lessons are bringing fantastic results and her determination to be better is wonderful. She now also has 6 chickens and will have baby bunnies soon. She is such a farm girl and we are so fortunate to have family and friends that will house her growing animal family. She is also doing amazing in school it makes us very proud. I am actually quite astonished at how much she's improved and help her focus has changed throughout the year. She cares about school, she cares about her friendsp, she cares about everything she is doing it and it makes me very proud. Summer is quickly approaching and we're going to have different plans this year. They will spend some time at Boys and Girls Club but they'll also have a girl who will stay with them twice a week Raelynn super excited about this as she is been wanting to be done with Boys and Girls Club for sometime now.</div><div><br></div><div>These pics tell the rest...<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU0q5GRMbjGUo1BD5XHcPdt0DbTieLrix7LpitmuQOXlKJvDxqPpWP-EC6JX-GcS8LdJONNO62gXpRTjYZXw_iQLuqXfSI12fNFHFrb2FF1ikl8mmrRAOfTJIJq28lw4IWQxCoSKSC/s640/blogger-image--1378956912.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

He often tells us he loves us almost to the point that I believe it to be habbit rather than really feeling what he saying. But this weekend he asked, "mom do you know why I love you?" I answered "no but I would love for you to tell me." He says "because you show you really care about us." These are the sweet things he says daily. Cooper started baseball now and lives for baseball practice and can't wait for his first game. He's so full of energy he's hard to even keep up with.

It was a crazy busy day because before we left we had to pack up and check all our bags. The water park was fun but swimming with sharks was not what Raelynn expected, pretty disappointing. I'm not sure what she expected but it definitely lacked the danger element for her. After the water park we headed back to the hotel to change and get on the bus back to the airport. Unbelievable our trip is over already. This vacation was definitely all about the kids and NO relaxing for the adults. The kids had a great time though and I was very proud of them both. Raelynn is scared of nothing and can talk to anyone. Sometimes I watch her in amazement. Coop feared much less than I thought he would and continues to be the more reserved and loving child! I love our time together and as we head to the airport it makes me sad to know tomorrow they will return to school and I will unpack us and get ready to retur.n to out everyday lives. Even though we leave the magical land behind, I know our lives in general are truly full of magic!WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0Southeast Orlando Orlando28.45583 -81.306755tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739435205590540322.post-60294712119317737692015-03-03T16:21:00.001-06:002015-03-03T16:21:09.284-06:00DAY 6- MAGIC KINGDOMToday we were back to Magic Kingdom and this time the weather was fabulous!!! Today or rather tonight I think I finally got that "Magical" feeling. Magic Kingdom at night is amazing. Raelynn expressed her appreciation to night and I just wanted to cry! It was wonderful.

Yes, it was cold here too, 60 degrees or so. The hotel and our awesome travel agent got us rerouted to Downtown Disney. The kids had fun. Raelynn's favorite part was designing a rollercoaster again which was more crazy than the last one. It was fun! I am not sure Coop's favorite part because he's having a sleep over at Trenton's Room and I didn't get a chance to ask him. For the adults it was a pretty long and boring day. We had dinner tonight at Animal Kingdom. It was African dining and definitely wasn't my favorite however afterwards the kids got to play some drums and participate in some Aftrican Dance which was a lot of fun. <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrZZTdg8eNf09ZsVbgVB5RpSIxWRCW2CyPexNslFXFvLFAM5-omdfhsVsPd-EgOjkQJXvz4wOwKvUCGVuXpAYLKCObStkM492ztfPTDNeiICEPHle8iAIA3IFDGjONEv_c2Dx8V-9Q/s640/blogger-image--706613661.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrZZTdg8eNf09ZsVbgVB5RpSIxWRCW2CyPexNslFXFvLFAM5-omdfhsVsPd-EgOjkQJXvz4wOwKvUCGVuXpAYLKCObStkM492ztfPTDNeiICEPHle8iAIA3IFDGjONEv_c2Dx8V-9Q/s640/blogger-image--706613661.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWP54jT2jQayGOy4VIi5fZjOHcm9WfMT9DRTzlwm2uXIXOURx6ymtv93RIhWIfkz8iBk8RcaFbuQECOBhEMDNJ6NKulEbzmcBeFj-HfCzwS2p7KQc6co6p5bbZyL4M078efNUfBSQ/s640/blogger-image--1225135153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWP54jT2jQayGOy4VIi5fZjOHcm9WfMT9DRTzlwm2uXIXOURx6ymtv93RIhWIfkz8iBk8RcaFbuQECOBhEMDNJ6NKulEbzmcBeFj-HfCzwS2p7KQc6co6p5bbZyL4M078efNUfBSQ/s640/blogger-image--1225135153.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU1hKgabRi_sBYQkKP1AI6M_ZksGy2ZTb0Y2bM1v9_wozm7P4TefanCH8SIz-_n1FaPKoi4uviYuToLoN47lwyILACFA7GUXsER2FAJb08q2sCrTfpPm5SqVCuJmbsM4kquC5XXQ93/s640/blogger-image--1341170301.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU1hKgabRi_sBYQkKP1AI6M_ZksGy2ZTb0Y2bM1v9_wozm7P4TefanCH8SIz-_n1FaPKoi4uviYuToLoN47lwyILACFA7GUXsER2FAJb08q2sCrTfpPm5SqVCuJmbsM4kquC5XXQ93/s640/blogger-image--1341170301.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZqQ1FwuVZee8nRq2zV1pmAK3YnthUvaRWDEMYeNOaSAfqzIt8xOIqhVXeIdpU_fWfqQCB6U8F3oWf_h4AxVfSfK8Z3FE1RYgvef-9FgETr5qZ3J6waBj9jaxkUYqTS94WWv1ASNFr/s640/blogger-image--1108844344.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZqQ1FwuVZee8nRq2zV1pmAK3YnthUvaRWDEMYeNOaSAfqzIt8xOIqhVXeIdpU_fWfqQCB6U8F3oWf_h4AxVfSfK8Z3FE1RYgvef-9FgETr5qZ3J6waBj9jaxkUYqTS94WWv1ASNFr/s640/blogger-image--1108844344.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiswwtpHx_GgW4KDqnIK-PdrfK29L7aWDcJzmqg2IpJhx0BZMAX1eZxR7mlfBeB8tX663cNZwa0wlBkUS5KnlxUDjYLZx2ZoRtfgbLGwXhxGePh4y90R5yidU7y2jhN1QxGGF_ZRiXc/s640/blogger-image-1462374073.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiswwtpHx_GgW4KDqnIK-PdrfK29L7aWDcJzmqg2IpJhx0BZMAX1eZxR7mlfBeB8tX663cNZwa0wlBkUS5KnlxUDjYLZx2ZoRtfgbLGwXhxGePh4y90R5yidU7y2jhN1QxGGF_ZRiXc/s640/blogger-image-1462374073.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilvZ1_PHy1-j3gy0ItNpGHjqlq0KNnBuHI9PtdFv-5HuLiYheLUn9_Oz2nLqgNOIjzcQnAz3ZsN7eIIoWe47tGBqyCKv40eEO9At_ZFBzq_9kMIYIS2IFvUqobFKsQ6eiNLlF5d9xc/s640/blogger-image-32960435.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilvZ1_PHy1-j3gy0ItNpGHjqlq0KNnBuHI9PtdFv-5HuLiYheLUn9_Oz2nLqgNOIjzcQnAz3ZsN7eIIoWe47tGBqyCKv40eEO9At_ZFBzq_9kMIYIS2IFvUqobFKsQ6eiNLlF5d9xc/s640/blogger-image-32960435.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_xS1cOtZ5qD0Azqup-eUPe_k3VWPBsq_yNmATjHvvbVqh0AUhSUAmqXGDNfshLyRrcpiII-mfa3BRKTRceCKQKoGh6bMycl0yI_bj9qYPp7NhFgBp-BIKmok-zMBw2Hf5VqvxIxO/s640/blogger-image--1908023063.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_xS1cOtZ5qD0Azqup-eUPe_k3VWPBsq_yNmATjHvvbVqh0AUhSUAmqXGDNfshLyRrcpiII-mfa3BRKTRceCKQKoGh6bMycl0yI_bj9qYPp7NhFgBp-BIKmok-zMBw2Hf5VqvxIxO/s640/blogger-image--1908023063.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Tomorrow is Magic Kingdom or as Andrea refers to it, Disney World! </div>WatchingTwoGrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01899935122103057133noreply@blogger.com0
