Day 4

More rest for me in the morning. I am definitely coming down with something.
Then, Kenney and Alyssa went to have their nails done while I took the kids and Bay to Bass Pro Shops to purchase some new Crocs. In the afternoon, we went back to the pool for some more daredevil diving board jumps and millions of trips down the slides.

Kerstyn isn't scared anymore.

Neither is Lauklan. He can do anything that he sets his mind to. Even swallowing a Tylenol. GO LAUKLAN!

Aislinn having a blast!

Poor Ooh-Rah gets so tired. It's a hard life, I'm sure.

Day 3 in Key Largo

We went to the Theater by the Sea in Islamorada today. There was a bird, dolphin and sea lion show which we all enjoyed very much.

We had hot dogs for lunch that we bought there and they were VERY tasty. Maybe that was because I didn't have to fix them. Everything tastes better that I don't have to prepare it.Kerstyn holding the parrot.

Greyson was brave too.

Wilbur, the sea lion.

One of the dolphins doing tricks.

I am still running fevers through the night and feeling poorly. Poor Kenney has had to do a lot more so that I can rest a little each morning. Thank goodness that I can drug up and do something in the afternoon.

Day 2 in Key Largo

Ooh-Rah had a big journey down to the keys and he found refuge under the cars. He was a trooper, for sure.

It's rough being paddled around in a kayak, you know.

Aislinn playing in the kid pool area.

Brennan jumping off the high dive.

Kerstyn was a little timid at first, so she did the small diving board first.

I woke up this morning after having a rough night. I did not sleep well and had a fever in the morning. I was wondering yesterday why I was so tired, but I guess that I was getting sick. Still, that did not stop us for too long to have some more fun. Kenney let them play in the ocean in the morning, then we took them to the community pool in the afternoon.

On our way...

to Key Largo! Wasting away in Margaritaville (as they say).

Ellen's home in Key Largo. Also the place that Chris and I went on our honeymoon a little over 14 years ago.

As soon as we pulled in the driveway, the kids put on their suits and got in the ocean.

Greyson and Lauklan having a blast!

Greyson was a little scared at first, but he warmed right up.

There were not enough kayaks for all the kids so they had to share, and that was hard at times. But, we still had fun.

It took us a little over 6 hours to get there and Aislinn had to pee every 2 minutes. Besides that, the trip was great! :)

Spring Break is here

Let the chaos increase like crazy.

We'll see if I live through this.

Keep checking to find out...

Field Day Round 2

Brennan and Kerstyn got to have field day today. Aislinn and I went to visit with them for a little while. We all had a nice time and the weather was just beautiful.

Tonight Brennan and Chris left to go camping tonight and won't arrive until late Saturday night. I am sure that they will have a great time doing their Boy Scout stuff.

Field day round 1

Lauklan had field day today. Brennan and Kerstyn have it tomorrow. I also had to work at the office this morning, so I went in there and left a little early so I could visit with Lauklan. I missed all of the field day events, but I did get to sit with him in his classroom and help him with his journal entry. We then headed to lunch and enjoyed lunch together.

Tomorrow, back to see the older two. I still can't believe that Brennan will be in middle school next year. Where did the time go?

Want to know why I haven't kept my blog too current?

Enough said?

Child number 6 is keeping my quite busy!

Released

I forgot to mention on my Easter blog that Chris was released from Elder's Quorum President yesterday. We were sad. It is always hard to be released from a calling, but this was especially difficult since Chris had developed many special relationships with the members of his quorum and loves them very much. Chris served as EQP for a little over 2 years.

Easter Sunday

This beautiful Easter morning was started off by my parents coming over to meet Ooh-Rah and then going to sacrament meeting with us. They drove 2 hours and 15 minutes one way so that they could hear Kerstyn sing a special musical number.

Kerstyn did GREAT! She got up there in front of the whole congregation and sang like a 'big girl'. I never heard her do as good of a job as she did in sacrament meeting. She had all of us crying. Papa started right from the beginning and Chris lost it in the second verse. I held it together until she was done but then lost it myself. She sang 'I wonder when he comes again'. Click on the title of the song and you can hear it from the church website.

I love the whole song, but the second verse is just beautiful:
I wonder when he comes again, will I be ready there? To look upon his loving face and join with him in prayer? Each day I'll try to do his will, and let my light so shine, that others seeing me may seek for greater light divine. Then when that blessed day is here, he'll love me and he'll say, "You've served me well, my little child; come unto my arms to stay!"

Now you see why we were all crying, right?

It was a treat for me this afternoon because lunch was provided by Chris, hot dogs and hamburgers. I know, it's not the traditional Easter meal, but the key was that I didn't have to make it! Good!

Later in the afternoon, Chris's dad and Kenney came by. We had a short, but nice visit with them and Alyssa.

11 year old day camp

Brennan and I attended 11 year old day camp today. We had a fun time and learned a lot of neat stuff like, how to read a map and follow the compass. We also learned several new knots, the uses and types of saws, some first aid and did skits.

I think that I had a s much fun as Brennan, however, I am sure that I came home more tired than he did!

A little quiz

I just had to take the opportunity today to quiz the children on Good Friday and Easter and the significance that it has with Christians. Since they had the day off from school, I just had to keep them hoppin'.

Whew! They passed. Maybe I AM doing something right.

I am glad, and feel blessed, to have the gospel in my life. What a blessing it is to know that I have a Heavenly Father and a personal savior, Jesus Christ. What a blessing it is to know the plan of salvation!

Now Lauklan

Well, I sure hope this doesn't mean that all of us are going to take our turn being sick, but this morning Lauklan woke up complaining of a headache and being hot. I took his temperature and it was 101.4. So, he took some Tylenol and stayed home from school.

He had to go to Chris' office with me and about half way through the morning he said, "Mom, why didn't you tell me that you were working today?". I told him that I did and then asked him if he would of rather gone to school. He replied that he would have rather gone to school then be at work all morning. I guess the Tylenol was making him feel better and it seemed that he had grand plans of playing games and watching television all day. Oops, I messed that up for him, didn't I?

Cute.

Sarah's Quilt

I finished reading Sarah's Quilt last week and I forgot to post about it. I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout the book. A great read that I really recommend. It a the sequel to These Is My Words which I really enjoyed. The next is Star Garden that I will begin in a few weeks after I get done with Between Husband and Wife which I bought at Time Out For Women.

Do you find yourself asking when I get the time to read? Well, it's either in the sauna at the gym or late at night when I'm half asleep.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Date night

Last night Chris and I met Steve and Janet at McCormick & Schmick's. It was very nice, the food and the company.

We met Steve and Janet in Tallahassee when they came up there to go to law school. Steve was a year behind Chris. Janet and I hit it off, and our kids did too. Back then, I had just had Lauklan and Janet just had Jackson and Sadie. (My how times change!)

We only live about an hour apart now, but have such a hard time getting together. Last night was a treat! We are planning our next visit for the Shipley Pool in May or June. I sure hope we don't go another 2 years before we see each other again. :(

Meet Oh-Rah!

Oh-Rah! is the latest addition to our family. He was born January 15, 2008, and came to live with us today. He is as sweet as he can be. As typical babies go, he eats, drinks, sleeps and goes to the bathroom.
Chris and I have definitely lost our minds!

My poor baby

Aislinn is still under the weather. After taking her to the doctor on Monday, I had to call back on Tuesday for antibiotics because her fever still had not gone away. I had a hard time getting the prescription filled because my usual pharmacy was out of it. So, I had to wait until Wednesday morning to get it filled and I immediately gave it to her.

Thursday, I went to work, but Aislinn was still under the weather. A little better, but not good. She was still getting up in the night, every night, and just a big fusser-pot. In the middle of Thursday night, Aislinn had a fever of 101.4 so I knew something still wasn't right. I was having to keep Tylenol or Motrin in her to keep the fever away.

First thing Friday morning, I called the pediatrician and they worked me in. Dr. Soto said that Aislinn now had an ear infection and her chest was still VERY congested. We were prescribed another antibiotic and I assumed that we were supposed to stop the first one and then start the new one, but no. Dr. Soto wanted me to continue the first one, start the second one and come back Monday morning. I could tell that she too, was worried.

Saturday morning, Aislinn was feeling a little better and I believe that she continues to improve. But, my goodness, TWO antibiotics at once, Albuterol and Singulair! I've never heard of such!

FCAT

Begins today for Brennan and Kerstyn. They test 3 days this week. Brennan tests 2 days next week and then they both test for 3 days the following week. I sure hope they pay attention.

Asthma?

Dr. Soto thinks Aislinn might have asthma. She couldn't find anything wrong with her except that Aislinn was wheezing very badly. So, we go to a specialist in two weeks. In the meanwhile, I have to try to get rid of the cough by giving her Albuterol and every night she has to take Singulair for the asthma and allergies. Poor thing...

Home sick

Yesterday morning when I called Chris to check in, he told me that Aislinn had thrown up in the night and was running a fever. It made me so sad. She didn't even have cold symptoms when I left. I told him what I thought he should do, and then hung up. I called him back about 1 minute later and said, "You have this under control, right? You'll be fine and everyone will be okay, right? " To which he answered, "We're fine honey, have a good time".

I love him.

We (Debbie Clayton and I) got home last night around 10:30. Aislinn was running a fever so she slept on the floor next to my side of the bed.

Chris got up and took the other children to church and Aislinn and I are resting at home. I think she is feeling better since she is a little interesed in eating. However, that fever keeps creeping up. I guess I'll be at Dr. Soto's office with her tomorrow.

Time Out For Women

Time Out For Women was WONDERFUL!

I loved it, every minute! It was so much fun! I also spent way too much money! I bought several books and a shelf. I am looking forward to using it and reading my books.

Kenney, Holly, Debbie and I acted like pre-teens - giggling and having fun.

Debbie can't believe that I don't weigh 400 pounds since all I talked about was eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Zaxby's. We seriously ate and sat the whole time we were gone. I ate 7 doughnuts from Krispy Kreme, 3 on Friday night and 4 Saturday afternoon. They were delicious! We had Zaxby's for dinner Friday night. I have my fixes from those 2 places now for a while.

I can't wait until next time, for Time Out For Women, that is.

On my way

I'm going to Tallahassee for Time Out For Women. I can't wait!

Crazy day!

Today is my day to work in the office. As you might remember, I also got my first speeding ticket a week ago today, so I was very careful to not speed, or at least, not speed too much.

I dropped the oldest 3 at school.
Stopped at 7-Eleven for my Diet Coke.
Went by the banks and made the firm's deposits.
Took Aislinn to Ben's house to play while I am working.
Went to Greyson's pre-school to drop him off. We were a few minutes early, so I turned off the car and just had the radio playing (it was just for a few minutes). The time came for Greyson to go in and I let him out, told him I love him and went to start the car.

Well.... it would only click! I couldn't, and still can't believe it! I had to get my car out of the little driveway so the other parents could drop off their kids and after a few more tries to start the car, and it NOT working, I got help from 2 of the teachers and we had to PUSH it out of the way. SO EMBARRASING! By the way, that van is quite heavy.

So, I call Chris at home, no answer.
I call Chris on his cell phone, no answer.
I call Chris at work, he's not there yet!
OF COURSE!

Well, I am stressing about now because I had my day all planned out, and this was NOT in the plan! So, I called Jose Lugo, our mechanic and he talked to me and thought it was my battery and told me he would come and help. Thank goodness! Chris arrived between talking to Brother Lugo and him getting there and took me to the office. Brother Lugo called later to say that he needed me to come drive my car to his shop so he could put in a new battery. I went there, drove the car, got the battery, 2 quarts of oil, and went on my way.

It was a totally crazy morning. However, I must admit that it was a blessing because I am going to Tallahassee in the morning and I would of hated to have that happen on our way up there with nobody around to help.

Happy Birthday to me

I had several great birthday wishes today. I am so thankful to all of you who called, e-mail or sent birthday messages. That was so sweet.

True to Mary Gronlund's tradition, she baked me a cheesecake. But, this year it is a turtle cheesecake and it is so rich and tasty! Thank you Mary.

Debbie Carter, Debbie Clayton and Cherylyn came over around 3:45 to wish me Happy Birthday and give me a sweet card telling me that we were going to have a girls night out to the movies. They really must love me because they are going to buy me popcorn and a diet coke too! Wa-hoo!

Chris came home early, right around 6 tonight and we ordered Pizza Hut. Not my first choice, but it was at least something that I did not have to make myself.

As far as birthdays go, since I still have to continue to have them, this one was pretty good even though I am 34!

One day shy of 34...

Looks like this...

I'm not too sure what I think about that! I sure thought that at 34 I would feel different. I'm not sure what I mean by different except for the fact that I thought I would 'have it all figured out'. I don't have it all figured out, and I still feel, at least inside, like I am a teenager.

Why can't I just age gracefully? I have gray hair, too many wrinkles and about 25 pounds that I don't want!

On the positive side. I have a great husband, who is also my best friend. I have 5 GREAT kids and parents and friends who care about me. So, as long as all of my faults aren't enough to run them off, I guess I'll just try to deal with it. :)

I must give thanks to the photographer, Lauklan Shipley, for doing a fine job! He has potential...

Primary activity

Today was our Eustis Ward Primary Activity. We had it at the Teets' farmhouse from 4 - 6. I counted after I got home and I think we had between 58 to 60 people in attendance! Can you believe that? I was so happy! We had every child there with their family that comes to primary on a regular basis. With that said, it was surely a success!

Maria planned a nice lesson on the week before Easter that the Bishop shared with the children. Then the children split up into Junior and Senior Primary and did games and planting seeds.

The children participating in the easter egg roll.

Planting their seeds.

Way to go Eustis Primary!

Traffic violation

Well, I can never say again "I have never gotten a speeding ticket". Chris laughed out loud, one of those truly amused and hearty laughs when I called to tell him. He was surely amused!

They (the bad guys) say that I was going 37 in a 25. I guess they are telling the truth. However, I believe that they got me going down a hill because for the first time in I don't know how long, I wasn't even in a hurry and truly speeding like a MAD WOMAN!

Well, just thought I would post about my first speeding ticket that I am sure was a long time comin'!

I'm going crazy with the pool!

The area that the pavilion will be. It is behind the master bedroom.

From the deep end, looking to the shallow end. You can also see where it is framed for the deck.

It started out with what I would call the bare necessities and 5 months later it is totally out of control!
I'll name a few of our, but mainly my splurges:
1. I added 3 feet of deck to the left side of the pool. It was initially going to be 5 feet, now it is 8.
2. I added accent tiles to what was just going to be blue. Once I saw them, I just had to get them. Know what I mean?
3. I changed my mind about the chlorination system. I now HAVE to have the salt system, chlorine simply won't do.
4. Chris added a pavilion that is octagonal shape and 16 feet around. We also had to add concrete and acrylic topping to go under this pavilion.
5. We were not going to have the pool heated, but now it will be.
Did I say enough? Do you get the picture? I am OUT OF CONTROL. Stop me now before someone gets hurt, or totally broke! :)
I am going to love The Shipley Pool! Get ready to swim!

Look what I found!

I was uploading my pictures from my camera this morning, thinking that I just had a few pictures of the pool, and lo and behold, someone has gotten a hold of my camera AGAIN! Enjoy...

Aislinn Grace with a mo hawk!

Aislinn's pretty painted fingernails.

Sporting her new Dora hat that her daddy bought her.

And of course, Daddy had to sport that Dora hat too!

Who is taking all of these pictures anyway? These were just a few in the collection. I might need to lock that camera up!

I've been tagged, again...

I've been tagged! Thanks go to Jennifer.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago... Wow, 10 years ago, that would be February of 1998. I think I was getting ready to get pregnant with Kerstyn and in my first semester of my Master's program. I felt young and that I could conquer the world! We were living in Tallahassee and Chris was contemplating law school.

2. What are 5 things on my to do list today... Make it to 8 p.m. without losing my mind, say family prayer, put the kids to bed, try to relax for a few minutes and go to sleep.

3. Three things I enjoy... eating, sleeping, exercising.

4. If I were suddenly made a billionaire I would... have a lot less stress in my life!

5. 5 jobs I have had... I don't know if I have had that many. Let's see, counter staff at The Loop (a restaurant in Tallahassee), Student Assistant/OPS employee for the State of Florida doing accounting/bookkeeping, second grade teacher, wife, mom.

6. 6 things people don't know about me... I think you already know all you will ever want to know, but, I really enjoy vacuuming, being alone with my husband, a clean house and clean laundry, and visiting with my family. I LOVE to laugh!

7. 7 people to tag: I'm not even sure that I have seven friends! Well, let's see, I guess I won't do this since I just did one a few weeks ago.

Hope this didn't bore you all to death!

Wow, spell checker is working again, good news, good news!

Are you on Facebook?

I just signed up today. It's a whole 'nother world there!

When I join things like that, that are new to me, I feel so old and out of touch. I'll keep trying though.

Hope to see you there.

Another trip to the pediatrician

Well, it's been an interesting day to say the least! I worked at the office this morning. While there, I had to call our health insurance agent regarding the bill that we received today, yet it was due on 2/15.
Then, I went to Publix to pick up my prescription and I was told that I DID NOT have insurance! I was not happy!
I went home and called BC/BS and we got it worked out, but not before I called our agent again and left the SECOND message! They apparently canceled out my old plan, mailed me new cards, but with the old plan number and NEVER sent me new cards with the correct number! Smart, huh?
Well, once I had it worked out, I knew that I needed to call Dr. Soto to get Aislinn in because she is coughing incessantly and told me that her head was hurting. Well, she was prescribed Albuterol and Cefzil. Also, Dr. Soto thinks that Aislinn has allergies so I needed to buy her Zyrtec and give it to her every night before bed.
I took the prescriptions to Publix and also requested that I would be reimbursed for the earlier amount that I paid without insurance for my prescription. I gave them all the correct information, which was written on the back of my Publix receipt. I went hunting for the Zyrtec and of course, they were all out. So, I loaded up all 5 of them again and went to Target, got the Zyrtec, went back to Publix and then FINALLY came home to get homework started, baths and showers given, and dinner fed... all before we have to leave to go to Scouts. Now, can I take a breath?

It's a...

Kerstyn has a sinus infection and is on Amoxicllin. We went to the pediatrician this morning and that's what we found out. Hopefully she will be feeling much better soon.

Isn't it great that you can get Amoxicillin free at Publix?

I had to give a talk.

I was asked to give the concluding talk in Sacrament meeting today. My topic was personal revelation. It went pretty well and I feel much better just given that it is over.

I was sad though because when we woke up this morning, Kerstyn was running a fever of 102 so she obviously needed to stay home. Since I had to give the talk, Chris stayed at home with Kerstyn and Aislinn.

Mary Gronlund graciously agreed to let the boys sit with her since I needed to be on the stand. It all went pretty well and hopefully my talk today will buy me another 3 or so years of time.

Visit to the temple

I left the house this morning at 8 a.m. with Debbie Clayton. We went to the temple and had a wonderful time. After our session, we went to the Beehive store and then to lunch at Perkins. Debbie had an omelet since she is doing the low carb thing, and I had all the carbs that I could get eating pancakes. I was on a sugar high when we were done. Of course, after lunch we went to the bookstore and looked around for around an hour. We had a great time!

I got...

A very nice dinner for two at Carrabba's in Altamonte Springs. We did not call ahead, so the wait was 2 hours. We just sat and people watched and talked. It was a nice time.

When I arrived at the office this morning, I had a nice tulip plant on my desk and a very nice card.

I'm not sure if I am the most beautiful woman in the world to him, but we did have a nice day.

All I want..

All I want for Valentine's Day is:
To feel like the most beautiful and wonderful woman on this Earth! Is that too much to ask?

OK, more realistically, I would like dinner with Chris at a restaurant that we don't usually go to and maybe a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure or a massage. Do you think that is better?

Well, you might find yourself asking, if she wants all of that, what does Chris get? I'll answer that for you, he gets a card and my company at dinner. And, most importantly, a happy wife because he thought of me and my wants.

Let's see how he does... I am sad to say, I'm not too optimistic. :(

Pool update

The tile is coming along as you see...

Chris obviously decided that the pool needed some cleaning up! I just had to take a picture of him in the pool sweeping with the broom. Now, when the pool is complete, will he continue to keep it clean? Good question...

Too funny

I found these today, with some others when I was uploading the pictures to the computer from the camera. I guess Lauklan thought he would document some things...

How do I put my little camera movies on here?

Piano player

Kerstyn has been quite faithful in her piano practice as illustrated below.

Brennan...well, that's another issue.

However, both of them are doing really well progressing with their lessons.

Why can't we all just get in the picture?

We had to go to a Birthday Party for Chris' paralegal this afternoon. At first, Brennan wasn't ready...

Then, Aislinn wouldn't get in the picture.

I guess we have 4 kids and just rotate them as needed. :)

There was Worldwide Leadership Training today broadcast from Salt Lake. I could not attend because Chris got to go to the temple to work today. I really want to hear what they had to say. I need all the help that I can get!

Happy Birthday Chris!

Chris and Kerstyn for the Father/Daughter Dance at Round Lake Elementary.

Today is Chris' birthday. He is 41 years old. I just can't believe it. I'm not sure if he can believe it either. It seems like yesterday that he was 26 and I was 19 riding around in his yellow Jeep Wrangler just starting to date and as happy as can be. I guess you never realize it when your young, but the years really do just fly right by. I am glad that I have my blog now so I can try to remember some of this life of ours.

He is gone right now to the Father - Daughter Dance at Round Lake Elementary with Kerstyn. He did his level best to bribe her out of going, ice cream, movie, etc. It didn't work. She was so excited to go and always looks forward to it every year. I tried to take a picture of them before they left, but my battery was dead. It is now charging, and I will take one when they get home and post it later.

Some reasons that I love my old man, I mean Chris:
He loves me even when I am at my worst. This is very important because it seems all to often lately. :(
He is dedicated to the gospel of Jesus Christ and having an eternal family.
He is a hard worker and dedicated to his family, calling and job.
He's Chris. I couldn't ask for anyone more wonderful to be my husband, best friend and father to our children.

I hope you have/had a great birthday honey, I love you.

It's a sad day for America

I was so sad to see and hear that Mitt Romney was suspending his campaign today. Hopefully we'll see him run again and be even more successful in a few years.

One thing you won't have to worry about from me...
I WILL NOT be voting for the dirty politicians John McCain OR Mike Huckabee!

Christian Home & Bible School

I had a tour of Mount Dora Bible today. I set up to go there this morning at 9 a.m. to look around the school and see if it was somewhere I would like to send Brennan for middle school. I was impressed.

I loved how they have chapel each day. How nice to have a special time to hear a spiritual message. I also liked how they have bible study as a class. Another plus is that they have many ways that the child can have advanced classes if that is what they want and can be in. I like that they have more opportunity to excel academically. The class sizes are also much smaller and that is appealing. They whole school, K - 12, is only about 800 kids, which is smaller than Round Lake which is over 1100 for just K - 5.

The campus was beautiful and the staff seemed very nice. They are all certified in their field and the school is SACS accredited. Now, how do I pay for it?

I've been tagged

I was tagged by Tricia. I'll do my best answering these...

All right, I tag Ashlea, Janet and Jennifer.

Aislinn has decided...

that it is time for her to attend pre-school...
She DID NOT want to leave Greyson there today. She was bound and determined that she was going to stay too. She'll just have to wait for a position to open up though.

Sleepover for the girls and campout for the boys

While the boys are away, the girls will play! We had a great sleepover with 6 of Kerstyn's friends. Melissa came to help me with all of the festivities. We all had a blast!

I think that Chris and the boys had fun on their camp out. I know that they were glad that they had great sleeping bags that kept them warm in the 40 degree weather.
