KIDFEST 2009- Mauston!

This was incredible. The kids had so much fun. The planners did a great job. Madi enjoy'd the pony and Kyler loved the train. We had tons of fun ... here are some pictures to prove.

Kyler watching very close!

THE TRAIN

HORSE RIDE !

May 30,2009

We attended "Down on the farm" at Wisconsin River Meats. It was not what I thought it was going to be but the kids liked the milkshake by the Mauston FFA and the huge cow.

Chasing the rain away.... Fun in the Sun.

We spent this after noon at MT. OLYMPUS. It was lots of fun. The kids really enjoy'd the water. Kyler even did a couple of slides. Madi's friend Kiera show'd up to play too. Lunch was picnic style under a tree. The huge wave pool was a big hit. Kyler found himself happy on the lazy river. First couple of laps with Grandma but as soon as mommy came on, he was all mine. We kick'd around and then he decided to nurse and fall asleep. Madi and Grandma Peggy went off on there own and Kyler and I tried out the hot tub for a few. Then, back to the wave pool for a finish. We closed the place down.

SUNSHINE!

Kyler is doing better then to be expected. He play'd hard and ate well today. This morning he got daddy to stay home from work with him though. We ended up going to Walmart and getting cages for the tomato plants in our garden. GO GARDEN!

We also got a potty chair and boxers for Kyler. I will be taking pictures of the lil guy in them tomorrow. We are going to do the 3 day challange Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Wish us lots of luck (I will be needing it)


The boys came again tonight. We enjoy'd a few good books and play'd at the park for a while.

Tomorrow we are headed to KIDS FEST and to Down on the FARM! :)

In time we hate that which we often fear.

WHAT A DAY! THIS MORNING EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. BOTH KIDS GOT UP, DRESSED, BREAKFAST, AS WE WERE PREPARING TO GO TO GRANDMA AND GRANDPAS HOUSE FOR A WEEKLY VISIT. I DECIDED I WOULD MOP THE KITCHEN FLOOR BEFORE WE LFET AND SENT THE KIDS TO PLAY. AFTER GETTING THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY DONE WITH THE FLOOR, I HEAR THIS HUGE BOOOOOOOM!

I DROP'D THE MOP AND WENT RUNNING. THE PICTURE WAS HORRIBLE. KYLER TIP'D THE DRESSER WITH THE TV DOWN ON TOP OF HIM AND ON TO MADISON LEG. AS I WAS STANDING IN SHOCK, CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO DO, HE MANAGED TO GET OUT FROM UNDER THE DRESSER/TV AND WAS FULL OF BLOOD. HE RAN TO ME AS I PICKED THE DRESSER OFF OF MADISON AND ASKED HER IF SHE WAS OK. SHE SAID HER LEG HURT. I TOLD HER TO SIT STILL AND I WILL BE RIGHT BACK. RUNNING TO GET THE WASHCLOTH FOR BLEEDING KYLER, COVER'D IN BLOOD , I QUICKLY REALIZE HE HAD A MISSING TOOTH. IN A PANIC (SOMETHING I DON'T DO OFTEN) I CALLED AARON. I WENT BACK TO CHECK ON MADISON WHO WAS STILL SITTING IN THE SAME SPOT THE SAME WAY PLAYING WITH A DOLL. I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD GET UP AND TOOK A QUICK PEEK. SHE SEEMS TO BE OK. A SMALL BRUISE IS ALL. (THANK YOU DEAR GOD)

NOW, I ALLOW KYLER TO NURSE AND GET THE NUMBER TO THE DENTIST. SHE TOLD ME NOT TO PANIC AND ASKED IF I COULD GET DOWN THERE BY NOON. I TOLD HER IF I HURRY. THEN, I TAKE ANOTHER PEEK IN KYLER BLEEDING MOUTH AFTER NURSING AND FIND THAT THE TOOTH IS STILL THERE AND IT WAS JUST BENT BACK. (OUCH) HE IS NOW DONE CRYING. WE JUST CUDDLE UNTIL DAD GETS HOME AND HEAD TO MADISON, WHERE I TAKE MY KIDS TO GO TO THE DENTIST. KYLER NAPS ON THE WAY DOWN.

WE GET TO THE DENTIST AND HE ORDERS AN X-RAY. THEN TAKES A PEEK IN THE MOUTH FOR THE EXAM. ITS WORSE THEN I THOUGHT. NOT ONLY IS HIS TOOTH MOVING AROUND AND TOTALLY LOOSE. HE BROKE THE GUM BEHIND ALL HIS FRONT TEETH. AS TEARS FILL MY EYES I WAKE OUT OF THE ROOM TO GATHER MYSELF AND RETURN FOR THE DOCTOR TO SAY THAT ITS NOT AS BAD AS IT MAY SEEM. THAT RECOVERY IS SIMPLE AS TO JUST LEAVE THINGS BE. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS KYLER IS TO REMAIN ON A SOFT DIET UNTIL HER RETURNS TO HIS FOLLOW UP ON JUNE 4TH.

KYLER IS A TROOPER. BY AFTERNOON IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAPPEN'D. PLEASE PRAY THAT TOMORROW GOES AS WELL AND ALTHOUGH ITS SURE TO BE PAINFUL, I HOPE ITS MANAGEABLE.

AND JUST FOR THE NOTE. THE DRESSER AND TV ARE NOW OUT OF THE KIDS REACH AND GONE, TO NEVER RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS LOCATION.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE:

THIS YEARS SUMMER SITTING JOB STARTED AND WENT WELL. I AM SITTING FOR A SET OF 3.5 YR OLD TWINS!! THEY ARE ADORABLE. TONIGHT WENT WELL.


NOTES ON YESTERDAY SINCE I DID NOT POST....

WE ATTENDED A SUNSHINE PLAYGROUP, PLAY'D IN THE RAIN AND CAME HOME TO MAKE A NEW NEVER BEFORE DINNER THAT WAS PRETTY YUMMY.

ON TO TOMORROW..... GOODNIGHT, GOD BLESS!!!

The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.

SOCCER IS A REAL KICK!

Tonight was the last soccer game. We play'd U4 Orange and TIED! The little soccer players were tons of fun. I am honor'd to have been the coach this season!

We have one more tournament left the first week in June. GO GOLD!!!!!!!

SOCCER

by Amy S. Fowble-

EVERY member has a ROLE,

To dribble, pass, or stop the GOAL

FOLLOW the rules- it can be hard,

YOU may just get a yellow card.

A penalty KICK may be in STORE,

When a foul can stop a CHANCE to score.

As YOU'RE running down the field, be QUICK-

This game can give you quite a KICK!

”Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?” ~William Shakespeare
