I packed up the car on Friday with all of our camping gear, so that Saturday we could leave early. We finally made it out the door at 10am. First thing was to drop Zac off at Grandma's. Then we are off again. When we got to Chickasha, we stopped to get some fishing stuff and grab lunch in the car. The mountains are 80 some odd miles from home, so we still had a way to go. We go straight to the camp area and drive for a while trying to find a camp spot. Finally a family looked like they were leaving. So we asked them and they were. We hurried to pay for the spot, because it was really crowded. We get back and start taking out the tent and chairs and air mattress's. Suddenly it starts pouring! Aaron hurred to cover everything with our tarp. We ended up camping in our van and still had a great time.brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03577641410195752442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828624832487409206.post-1701455202637951592009-05-15T22:42:00.000-07:002009-05-27T12:46:27.283-07:001st tooth<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSnZTzNDkrvP__CTF6o1PWgSvXTD1MjrLTcJifGtShbDecCDjbHmj34fYGm7YTs1oBAyLuRR-BP3Gxq8hQafCg-TYjuVkVquT1jWyPQTvrNk6kN5FDzEbBzB_y7FgAXOThzTOWrFfqB0f/s1600-h/IMG_6645.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSnZTzNDkrvP__CTF6o1PWgSvXTD1MjrLTcJifGtShbDecCDjbHmj34fYGm7YTs1oBAyLuRR-BP3Gxq8hQafCg-TYjuVkVquT1jWyPQTvrNk6kN5FDzEbBzB_y7FgAXOThzTOWrFfqB0f/s400/IMG_6645.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibcWr4q8O4NWittUZ3Fmg4tqxYUWVFVcOVxmChWHetOKdpBwsPLKioNy3EityYcZUI2AnpS-97nfrDzImqcf2T46yfMPVFHA8e6TZ32r8uQSVMr46a5Y7ymh_h2c4slUAi8YaKQ43t4dcG/s1600-h/IMG_6644.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibcWr4q8O4NWittUZ3Fmg4tqxYUWVFVcOVxmChWHetOKdpBwsPLKioNy3EityYcZUI2AnpS-97nfrDzImqcf2T46yfMPVFHA8e6TZ32r8uQSVMr46a5Y7ymh_h2c4slUAi8YaKQ43t4dcG/s400/IMG_6644.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQN8-qk6SzzLwcKpl_wW3TdczOSKIpwMADLR1OnVxDrLYDAyjOZYYgCHKnHcwFO1FA6pqq5YivjcYvb1KWLROWGZCweP2b3mJM67friMgkNrrkR6tySBIHwEajTmTIMbmb2p_fQ_WjelO/s1600-h/IMG_6648.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQN8-qk6SzzLwcKpl_wW3TdczOSKIpwMADLR1OnVxDrLYDAyjOZYYgCHKnHcwFO1FA6pqq5YivjcYvb1KWLROWGZCweP2b3mJM67friMgkNrrkR6tySBIHwEajTmTIMbmb2p_fQ_WjelO/s400/IMG_6648.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYurZV3_rdjwfnORCuCIos3G0IfxafSUNbw5_19FvYByXuQiSkm59MyV1hZ_9D0cjSZ9rWiCba-tFUMHvRKPa_56awjksuhUkdIyTa7y02YCX__jDmmYL_C6AKb7DAGIB1U3qNXYAIZFAy/s1600-h/IMG_6657.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYurZV3_rdjwfnORCuCIos3G0IfxafSUNbw5_19FvYByXuQiSkm59MyV1hZ_9D0cjSZ9rWiCba-tFUMHvRKPa_56awjksuhUkdIyTa7y02YCX__jDmmYL_C6AKb7DAGIB1U3qNXYAIZFAy/s400/IMG_6657.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center">Parker lost his 1st tooth!

Sunday his allergies started acting up and Monday he was really not feeling good. He stayed home that morning, but I sent him to school in the afternoon. Well, by that night he had a fever and an ear ache.<br /><br /><div align="justify">I took him to the doctor Tuesday and he has a sinus, ear, & eye infection and is having to take his inhaler to prevent the wheezing from getting worse. I really had second thoughts about going to the doctor, because the past 2 times that we have gone nothing has been wrong with him. I am glad that I ended up going though. I did have trouble getting his antibiotic filled for some reason. I guess that most kids don't take chewable penicillin? Anyway, the pharmacy had to transfer his prescription to a different place and they could only partially fill it. So I have to go back in 2 days and get the rest. What a pain! Now he just has to catch up on all the work he missed for 2 1/2 days.

You just microwave them and put them on your neck or wherever. Tonight, Parker asked if I would heat up the socks and I said no, because it was late and I didn't want to go back into the kitchen, (<em>I know, that is kinda mean</em>).<br /><br />So I was listening to them take turns saying prayers and before Parker started, he said that his puppy had a back-ache and could I please heat up the sock for him. I had to hide my face to keep from laughing. After Parker finished, I told Alex to give me his sock too, in case his animal had a back-ache and I would just heat them both up. Well, Alex proceeded to tell me that Parker's puppy didn't have a back-ache, Parker just wanted it for himself. Then Alex said that he was going to use his sock for his own neck!<br /><br />So I went and heated them both up. One for Alex's neck and one for Parker's stuffed puppy named Zackie. I had to laugh because that was a great way for Parker to make me feel bad that I said no the first time. He came up with a good reason to need his sock and I am pretty proud of him for thinking of the stuffed puppy. <strong>I could not say no to that!</strong></p><p align="justify">Next time they ask, I will just heat up the sock to be nice. When I brought the socks back to their room, I told them the only way I was going to give it to them, was if they took a picture with the sock on. So they did! </p>brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03577641410195752442noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828624832487409206.post-63914986197715788262009-01-28T20:35:00.000-08:002009-01-31T19:43:40.237-08:00This is why<div align="justify">The reason I haven't posted anything for a while is because we have been sick. Alex got sick the night of the pinewood derby and was sick all weekend. Then Zac ran a fever too, and later in the week I didn't feel good. I even had a Dr. appointment and canceled it because I decided to take Zac to the dr. instead. I thought he had an ear infection, but it was just coughing and runny nose. She gave me an antibiotic to fill in case he got worse, but I didn't fill it. So I will do a real up-date later.</div>brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03577641410195752442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828624832487409206.post-86765116789890594232009-01-27T20:06:00.000-08:002009-01-31T20:13:17.088-08:00Snow/Sleet/Ice<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mlRedAXQR8kEjsXghvR6jWOOvHysrUGcyT3KWx9n1lU9LE6zkylIJ5vs10ci-05K3ukie3t0c8YkpZlpJbUZD4qrB1rAsTBz0P4BdquyglYaN5Rb53-3cihtI27wQCIgjXNT1KM64Nv4/s1600-h/IMG_5647.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mlRedAXQR8kEjsXghvR6jWOOvHysrUGcyT3KWx9n1lU9LE6zkylIJ5vs10ci-05K3ukie3t0c8YkpZlpJbUZD4qrB1rAsTBz0P4BdquyglYaN5Rb53-3cihtI27wQCIgjXNT1KM64Nv4/s400/IMG_5647.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB4Y5yb90jxRa34QCC26rxJT4sPc0H79SrpU7JSf1QJOtizbIZv12jYMX15GW7UyFLL_0zbDw8UZuzR5DTXC1GFOathR_hGmiyTAW6T_pLDYLbcjbhyphenhyphenjnrrSZRX10NYy6Thm1okUGeoO8R/s1600-h/IMG_5646.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB4Y5yb90jxRa34QCC26rxJT4sPc0H79SrpU7JSf1QJOtizbIZv12jYMX15GW7UyFLL_0zbDw8UZuzR5DTXC1GFOathR_hGmiyTAW6T_pLDYLbcjbhyphenhyphenjnrrSZRX10NYy6Thm1okUGeoO8R/s400/IMG_5646.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAxnn3ypx6s1I7LmcegYwfULJ3e4n1ZY0jzgJGLQN8SsPGHzz9GoAeCbRoUJ4M7SrLnHnzELVJzBI60wXzdQG4V0-07Mei3PXIlZygD4oaJe8w8etcO8ZTuy76BZVU0j81zdS_V41wGxEB/s1600-h/IMG_5642.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAxnn3ypx6s1I7LmcegYwfULJ3e4n1ZY0jzgJGLQN8SsPGHzz9GoAeCbRoUJ4M7SrLnHnzELVJzBI60wXzdQG4V0-07Mei3PXIlZygD4oaJe8w8etcO8ZTuy76BZVU0j81zdS_V41wGxEB/s400/IMG_5642.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtdBTAYg2pdCjVEnyOSPvL6ysxwDLgERaOvXZ2DeGhGFyIYoU_yexZZwRWfD8yfTzC3Q9kMB0EJ0D2y5pVH3Efs8unt-SlLujx0sXF7wIhI8qnCgUoARKeitNsoMpGMlCUdjigOl8tJXvJ/s1600-h/IMG_5645.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtdBTAYg2pdCjVEnyOSPvL6ysxwDLgERaOvXZ2DeGhGFyIYoU_yexZZwRWfD8yfTzC3Q9kMB0EJ0D2y5pVH3Efs8unt-SlLujx0sXF7wIhI8qnCgUoARKeitNsoMpGMlCUdjigOl8tJXvJ/s400/IMG_5645.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"></div><p align="justify">Yea, Zac had his first snow/sleet/ice storm and he got to play in it!

He would not eat in the cafeteria! I think that he wanted to, but was too nervous. One evening 2 wks ago, he told me that the wiener roll-up was good from the cafeteria. I didn't know what he was talking about. He then explained that the juice box I put in his lunch had leaked out and gotten all of his food wet. So his teacher gave him a wiener roll-up from the school lunch. The juice I gave him leaked because a few days earlier he asked for another juice box and I said no. I didn't know that he had already poked a hole in the top and so he put it back in the cabinet.<br /><br />Anyway, this morning Alex asked what was for school lunch and Parker said that is sounded good. So I decided to make him eat in the cafeteria. He was ok with it, as long as I sent an email to the teacher asking her to help him.</p><p align="justify">When he came home that afternoon, I asked how it was. Parker told me that it was "easy". He didn't even need help, he just watched the other kids and did what they did. It was mini corn dogs, peaches, a vegetable, and a brownie. He was so proud! <em>Aaron and I were too!</em></p>brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03577641410195752442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828624832487409206.post-23874604403538181532009-01-18T20:17:00.000-08:002009-01-20T08:26:01.392-08:00Parker went to the Rodeo<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipxN4OqK9tP-UpM00FeUCW0w7FE6gZELeboTgA7rAQXJ-I8svx8Uic11RSWVDjN-2R-98Ea9cYmltPnS-HlacJLERmj6sxyR5nX6YNBy3QOY_QhUJoU-PkzLhFQ7CDVRafVnPfNAYogBI1/s1600-h/IMG_5482.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipxN4OqK9tP-UpM00FeUCW0w7FE6gZELeboTgA7rAQXJ-I8svx8Uic11RSWVDjN-2R-98Ea9cYmltPnS-HlacJLERmj6sxyR5nX6YNBy3QOY_QhUJoU-PkzLhFQ7CDVRafVnPfNAYogBI1/s400/IMG_5482.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6fXtbY7BF2DUlypJu-ikvMXdtYLvEwE4GxfS2Df0XJ6_PDW3xrrkkx9-EGhKBlKkwYFXQRQfOmKOXjAuCd5271t0mCW6EV7ZlaeAYsL6v3NbkmiNZY1F47u9578WyA_ILxqkxN9fptgZ/s1600-h/IMG_5550.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6fXtbY7BF2DUlypJu-ikvMXdtYLvEwE4GxfS2Df0XJ6_PDW3xrrkkx9-EGhKBlKkwYFXQRQfOmKOXjAuCd5271t0mCW6EV7ZlaeAYsL6v3NbkmiNZY1F47u9578WyA_ILxqkxN9fptgZ/s400/IMG_5550.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-iUHq34EUldxxAphKdhbO09_Y48rf-xJSyvw6aHvK5tYhZP87A9Z7u521fHboUosm58PvPSJRtDjXDthOsnl8ubCQqrHzvNwjdUt8wHx_QOWWaJsikeB6UklWuBwFuyKXtOT-xJ8GN242/s1600-h/IMG_5468.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-iUHq34EUldxxAphKdhbO09_Y48rf-xJSyvw6aHvK5tYhZP87A9Z7u521fHboUosm58PvPSJRtDjXDthOsnl8ubCQqrHzvNwjdUt8wHx_QOWWaJsikeB6UklWuBwFuyKXtOT-xJ8GN242/s400/IMG_5468.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhun591OYcNIaduxPoZGctmdWGw2UyAPBSCmMNiiP9-pUBG_SXfJuAyOC2a-2Yui1XUUk_0cFWriHSwzgRdnzrD9b8LqR0FPlXStr7oOmzI10BL5bc2Fi4IJlEdCDAnArr9UU6YEcSLHEWy/s1600-h/IMG_5397.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhun591OYcNIaduxPoZGctmdWGw2UyAPBSCmMNiiP9-pUBG_SXfJuAyOC2a-2Yui1XUUk_0cFWriHSwzgRdnzrD9b8LqR0FPlXStr7oOmzI10BL5bc2Fi4IJlEdCDAnArr9UU6YEcSLHEWy/s400/IMG_5397.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><p align="justify">Parker and Aaron went to the Rodeo with Kennady and Joe.

Everything still looks good. Alex's eye has stayed in place since his surgery almost 2 years ago. Zac is doing great. Yippeeeeeeee!!!<br /><br />I do not want to have to go thru eye surgery again. It was awful!!!! I was perfectly fine about the surgery before Alex went in and when he came out, I thought it was the most horrible thing ever! He cried so terrrible, said it hurt, and he was having asthma problems. It just freaked me out, (I was also 7 months pregnant). But don't worry, that didn't happen to anyone else that we know. I know of several other people whose children had the surgery and it was so much different than this experience. It was something that had to be done and it worked so well for Alex. He is an A & B student and aces math and reading and music!!! So it really improved his school work. If we had known, we would have done the surgery much younger.</div>brandihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03577641410195752442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828624832487409206.post-16528007675318671032009-01-06T12:45:00.000-08:002009-01-08T12:51:57.972-08:00Dr. Check-up<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9aNjXBJ8PFOKw8LSSZdrNXoRQwp0WYPFxytzKjpSveVucZDq2U8NZ5Uq5eC0GyVw7qdDLcalRo5LWLoPeBFa2QOVVg_hNc4CBwnWxDCRZly9r76bBuxEoRaavBMWcqjXNXsfNlvi0Ln0Y/s1600-h/IMG_4097.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9aNjXBJ8PFOKw8LSSZdrNXoRQwp0WYPFxytzKjpSveVucZDq2U8NZ5Uq5eC0GyVw7qdDLcalRo5LWLoPeBFa2QOVVg_hNc4CBwnWxDCRZly9r76bBuxEoRaavBMWcqjXNXsfNlvi0Ln0Y/s400/IMG_4097.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><p align="justify"><br />Zac had his check-up today.
