Okay, so now I'm going to jump ahead to present day and tell you what's going on with us lately. I have many more pics to blog about but can't get to them at the moment. You see, its been a long, eventful, and expensive couple weeks around here. It first started 3 Fridays ago with a flat tire, which couldn't be fixed. You all know what that means.......not just one, but two new tires. Then, a few days later, my computer crashed. Hard. It was at the computer dr. for a couple of days, and seemingly all was well and everything was recovered, some $300 later. Well..........everything but my Pampered Chef files. ARGHHHHH! The one thing that was most important. Everything from the last three years--GONE! Forever. The one expense we had planned for was to get my car serviced before its trip to Indiana. $600 later-done. But, much needed as I hit 100,000 miles the same week we got the flat tire. Then, the air conditioning in Mike's truck decided it didn't need to work anymore......lovely. Estimate--$900. It's gonna be a hot summer driving the Dodge!!
Keep in mind, all of these happened the week before the family vacation. Isn't that always how it goes?! Well, all was handled, and here we are. On to the good news!
This week, I am all alone at home while all four kids have gone to Indiana with Grammy and Grandpa. Caitlyn is at church camp with cousin Colin and his church Sr. High, and Mike is on a horseback riding trip to Wyoming (it was a long drive with the windows down!!) The boys are having a great time and so far have played at Aunt Hilary's, gone on a pontoon ride at the lake, driven the "two-seater" all over the lawn, played with cousins, and gone to the zoo. Whew! Next up, Aunt Jan's pool, the Splash Pad, and Aunt Nan's house. They are having a blast!!
As for me, I'm getting caught up on alot of cleaning, organizing, exercising, and blogging!! The "me time" is great and much needed, but I will be ready to see all of my babies by the end of the week!
In light of the above mentioned computer problems, I'm still having issues getting all of my software programs re-installed on my computer. Therefore, the other pics I want to post I'm having a hard time sorting and seeing them. I know they are there, I just need to work out the bugs so I can post them. It will likely have to wait until Mikey gets here, as he is the technology guru around here!! Stay tuned..........!

Mom's Day
My beautiful Mother's Day flowers..........
Funny story, the flower shop on post was OUT OF FLOWERS--WHAT?!?!?!He had to get these at the grocery! Obviously, a great choice, and will be our pick for a floral department from now on!
Lt. Dan Band
In May, Ft. Leavenworth was lucky enough to host Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band for an unbelievable concert. There was a reason, maybe the Army's birthday?! This is what I get for not updating this blog in a timely manner!! At any rate, we went with friends, took our dinner in the wagon, beer in a cooler, and had a fabulous evening.
If you ever get a chance, SEE THIS BAND!!! They play a huge range of music and are HUGE supporters of the military. I've always love Gary Sinise, especially as Lt. Dan.
Here are a few shots......I didn't get many of the whole crew, you can see I was a little prejudice!
Caitlyn's Prom--May 2, 2009
So sweet......
They kinda look alike in this one!
"The Talk"
And they're off!

Easter Eve
We joined friends at their house for an Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had a fantastic time, and Tucker even found the egg with the money in it!! Colton was a wonderful helper to his baby brother!
