Bike ride season!

Every time we have warm weather I take the kids on bike rides. They go down the street and around the turn - technically it is the same block because it has no breaks in it but it is really really long:) (and of course we are picking up neighborhood kids along the way). We need go a few blocks and turn by this big grass hill (it used to be the fire station until they re-build right by my house). The kids have been waiting and begging to go on bike rides again, they have been so patient and even though we have had a few days of nice weather Saturday was the first day we could really get out there - They had fun. Their most favorite part is the grass hill - riding the bikes up and down it. Now for me that would get tiring but for them it is great fun:) I didn't think to take any pictures of them doing that but I will.

Yay!! I am so glad the weather is finally getting warmer.

Oh, some days....

I took Kadrey to the doc on Wednesday because she had been coughing since last Sunday. Now I know that is a while to wait but I really thought it was her asthma getting out of control. The Doc. said she had croup (yes 7 yr old can get croup, most out grow croup by this age - but some don't). I had to take her back today because after the steroid treatment she still coughs so much. Now they say she has walking pneumonia. I knew this is what they would probably decide she had and I had already tried to talk myself into being calm and I think I handled it pretty well:) Didn't really freak out:) They put her onto antibiotics and says she can still go to school and do everything she would normally do. Hopefully this medicine works cuz I really need her to get better and to not cough all night so that she and I can both get some sleep - sleep would probably help her also, but every time she lays down she coughs, plus I just need her to get better.:)

Hi!

I know I have not posted in forever... life have been crazy (and pretty uneventful).

Um... We have been playing wii fit a lot and on Monday Dan stopped drinking pop (well his goal is to not drink any for a week - not forever) and since then he has lost 4lbs. It took me almost three weeks to lose that much - What a jerk huh?! :) But really I am proud of him, just wish it was that easy for all of us:)

I started bribing the kids two weeks ago. If they can stay on the green card at school Mon - Fri then after school they get to go and get a prize at Dollar Tree. Jaxon got to go on the first week but not Kadrey...sometimes her mouth just wont stop:) Kadrey got to go on Friday no Jax though (he thru a crayon box at somebody, yes it was empty and cardboard but still).

THE JEEP IS PAID OFF - as of Wednesday. It only took us 5 years to do it:)

Work has been crazy but I will try to post more often:)

oh and on a finally note - Dan starts school "Electrical school" on Monday at the ATC. Yay!!!!
