This week hasn't been anything too special. Actually, we have been recovering from the stomach virus. Yes, Jackson passed his germs along to many of us in the family! Byron as you know discovered it Sunday morning. Sunday night as I crawled in bed I felt a little different myself. Monday I awakened not feeling myself at all. Thankfully, I just had the aches and pains with nausea. As long as I stayed still I was fine. That is exactly what I did. Keely also got sick during the night at my mom's. Tuesday it hit my mom. Jaycee, Kiley, and my dad have somehow missed the germs. Which I am thrilled that at this point I have by passed having to clean up throw up from both kids!
Byron and my dad went to Oklahoma City,OK this evening. Its the high school boys all-state games. Byron was pretty excited to be going. Its good bonding time for them as well. Not like they don't have a lot of that already since they work everyday together, but I am glad that they get along so well that they can even have some fun together outside of work!
The kids and I played in the water sprinkler tonight. The kids had fun and the lawn got watered. Can't beat that. We definitely miss our lawn in Nooksack. It was so thick and green and pretty. When its over 100 everyday and you haven't had rain for I don't know a month that doesn't help at all! So we water it just so it will last a little longer for the dogs! Eventually, we will have a great looking lawn, but it wasn't worth the effort this year with the kids. Hopefully, by next year I will be able to trust Jackson a little bit more and so I won't have such limited time to be out in the yard.
For this weekend, its my 10 year class reunion. I am excited to see my classmates. I hope that some will show up that I haven't seen for at least 8 years. Its amazing how life changes when you graduate high school. Some of the girls, I was with everyday since kindergarten I couldn't even tell you what they are doing. Its so sad. I really do hope that they are there Saturday. It actually starts tomorrow night but we decided not to attend since they are meeting for drinks at a bar. Not really our cup of tea or I guess our shot of alcohol is this case. Also, Velma has the annual Velma Picnic. I believe it started Wednesday night. Its a rodeo/ carnival. On Saturday morning they have a parade. I will be taking the kids to that. Jaycee is definitely pumped about it. She so remembers Everson Days parade so I hope they don't slack on the candy throwing at this one. She might be a little disappointed. After the parade, our class is having a family lunch (meaning kids are welcomed) at our school. For the evening events we are having dinner at the Chuck Wagon! Yummy! I look forward to the busy weekend and re-uniting with my classmates. It will be fun to see them as parents and to meet their children. So look for pictures!
Oh, yeah we are 4 weeks away from being in Washington! Marilee corrected me yesterday. For some reason I thought it was 5 weeks! I was super excited to know that I had added that wrong! Today, I began looking through the kids' clothes. Temp. wise its going to be quite different for them, especially in the evening. I think we have enough stuff leftover from early Spring that I won't have to do any major shopping for Fall clothes yet. I really wanted to start laying stuff out today, but I made myself stop. We are so ready to see our family, friends, and to have a break from the heat!

A night without the kids!
Mom and Dad took ALL of the kids today after church. Sadly to say, that Byron and I weren't able to go and do anything. Yes, Jackson obviously had a little bug, b/c Byron now has it. He got up in the middle of the night not feeling so great. So the kids and I went to church without him. When I got home he was way worse. He has been resting and making trips to the bathroom. He doesn't want to eat nor will anything stay down. He has the chills and aches and pains as well! Hopefully, his passes a little quicker then Jackson's!
I will say its been nice just to be at home with my hubby with no kids. You would think with all this free time I would be caught up on all of the household chores, but nope! I took a 3 hr. nap this afternoon. Due to the fact it was after 11 last night when I got the 3 girls in bed. We hung out at my parents last night and it was around 9 when we got in. Jackson fell asleep in the car so his bedtime was easy. Then Keely and Jaycee had to have a bath. After that, we of course had to have a nail polish party. I did my toes and Keely and Jaycee had their finger and toe nails done. Before we could go to bed we blow dried Keely's hair straight. I finally got all the girls in the bed and Kiley off her stupid cell phone texting people! It was midnight before I made it to bed. I was up by 6:30 this morning to make sure I was ready to get 4 kids up, fed, bags packed, and ready for church! Busy morning. Its been lots of fun having the girls here and having their help with the kids.
Byron and I have been couch potatoes today! Its been fabulous! We have caught up on all of our shows, or at least I have. Hopefully, we have a good night of rest. We shall see. After a 3 hr. nap I might be cleaning at midnight tonight!

Jackson's Update!
This is just too bizarre. He went all day yesterday with just the "spit up" puke and then he had diarrhea a couple of times. He still didn't eat too much. He was happy and played great. He went to bed around 7:30 last night. He slept all night long. Byron went in this morning to get him and he had puked again. Nothing like Wed. morning. His room wasn't smelly either. He got up and was asking for a bottle. So I made him one. He drank the entire thing. About 30 mins. later in the kitchen, thankfully, that all came up. He has been very clingy this morning. He is not as spunky as he usually is. I don't think the milk is the case. I don't think it helps, but that is the only thing that he actually wants. If he isn't better by tomorrow then we might make a visit to the doctor's office. He still doesn't have fever or anything but today he is definitely not feeling well. Conitnue to pray that this will be over soon. That he will be healthy and whole. That he will get his appetite back. Also pray for the rest of us that our immune systems will work great and none of us will get this! We believe in the power of prayer especially when 2 or more agree! So thank you for your prayers! We thank God in advance for healing Jackson's body and protecting the rest of ours!

Jaycee's first un-planned sleepover!
Jaycee has stayed the night at my parents maybe a hand full of times. My mom picked Kiley and Keely up today from their other grandparents in Comanche,OK. After the kids and I went in to Duncan to run a few errands, we headed out to my parents to see the girls. It was about 5:30 when we got there. It was almost 7:00 and Jackson was getting tired. I told Jaycee it was time to go. She whined a little b/c she wasn't ready to leave her cousins. Mamaw asked Jaycee if she would like to stay and play for a while and then she would bring her home. Jaycee changed her whining in a hurry! She was like Yes, Yes, can I mom? I said sure. Well, about 8:30 mom calls. Jaycee got on the phone and said Mom, can I stay at Mamaw's house and sleep tonight. I told her that she could. Mom said you should have seen her face. Jaycee's eyes got so huge and her mouth was wide open. Jaycee then told me thanks mom and began to talk about all the bubbles they were going to have in the tub! Jaycee has no clothes, panties, or pjs. I hope that she is so tired that she forgets that she didn't take her blanket! I can't believe my little girl is already having sleepovers! Of course, its at my parents, but this is the first one for the girl granddaugthers to have.
Tomorrow morning after Jackson wakes up we will go to my mom's. She is making lunch for us all. After that I am bringing Kiley and Keely home with me. We will have all the kids here tomorrow night. We are going to play in the swimming pool and sprinklers tomorrow. Should be lots of fun! So be looking for lots of pictures!

Process of Elimination
The process of elimination is in progress now. When Jackson was about 8 weeks old he broke our in a horrible rash all over his body. Our doctor recommended I drop ALL dairy products for 2 weeks since I was breastfeeding. That was totally the problem and why he had the rash. So for the first few months I didn't have any dairy. Then I would gradually increase it. I knew to back off when he would spit up more. By the time he was a year old he was doing really well. He has been eating grilled cheeses, yogurt, ice cream and lots of things that are in the dairy category. Lately, he has been drinking a lot of milk. I have still been using some soy-formula, but was moving towards solely using milk. Tuesday was the first night that he actually had a bottle of milk. Yes, I am still giving him a bottle before he goes to bed. He eats well enough that he doesn't really need it, but I guess I am hanging on as long as possible to one of the few things left of making him a "baby". The next morning is when he had the big surprise for me.I had given him milk after cleaning him up and a few hours later he puked again. The rest of the day he did great. I gave him water and crackers. Last night before bed he had a bottle of formula. He slept great and woke up with no surprises. I gave him a sippy cup of milk this morning and he's puked twice now. Nothing at all like yesterday. The puke is like what you see when a baby spits up. My brain triggered that maybe the milk is too much for him. Giving it to him Tuesday night for bed triggered something and now has bothered him some how. I am going to take the milk away for a few days. Then try it once again. We will see. Anyways, if you have any suggestions or have dealt with this yourself please share. Thanks!

Episode #2!
Well, it happened! Jackson just puked again! No warning just all over the living room floor! UGH! It was milk! The worst b/c its all clabbered up and smells horrible! So water for him the rest of the day! He is happy as he can be. He is running through the house doing his usual stuff. He has no fever. Hopefully, he will be ready for a nap soon. Maybe after that it will all be gone. Please, pray for the rest of us. That all of us will stay healthy. I am a little bummed its happening today b/c Kiley and Keely are coming to visit this weekend. I am thankful its not happening right before we travel to Washington! I will keep up posted on the sick Jack Boy!

Caution: Weak Stomach may not want to read!
This morning started off a little different. I am so thankful I don't wake up to this every morning. I was up doing a few things and Jackson started to cry. I finished up what I was working on and headed in to his room. I opened the door and hands down the worst smell ever hit me in the face. I immediately was like OH, Jackson surely not. As I made it over to the bed I see a big pile of yucky stuff. I was thinking he has pooped everywhere. I immediately began to assess all of the damages. I noticed his shirt is covered with yuck. I move on down to his shorts and discovered that there isn't any signs of him having a huge explosion. So the big pile of yuck is throw-up! OH! Knowing that I probably wasn't going to get off this easy I checked his diaper, and yes he did have a surprise for me in there as well! I rushed him into the bathroom and cleaned his bottom. I started the bath water and put him in it. The puke was in his hair, on his neck, it was everywhere. After we got out of the tub, I quickly returned to his room gathering any and everything that was in his bed. I opened the window and placed a very strong smelling candle in there. With plastic gloves on, I took the soiled bedding and washed away all "leftovers" of Jackson's dinner from last night! Jackson is now clean, his bedding is getting cleaned, his bed is now disinfected and clean, and my tub is super clean as well! What a morning and its only 9:00!

The weekend in review!
Let's begin with Friday evening. We had dinner with our neighbors. They are also a family that I grew up with my entire life. Their daughter, Tracy, was home visiting from Austin,TX. She has been my best friend since I can remember and she also sang at our wedding. We had lots of fun that evening. The kids did very well. Miss Wanda is such a great hostess. She had bought the ZooPal plates for the kids and she also bought sippy cups so she would have them for her house. We laughed when she said it took her 15 minutes to decide what type to buy. Her choice was perfect for our kids, it was Winnie the Pooh! The food was great. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, queso with chips, fruit and homemade vanilla ice cream! Danny and Wanda have an amazing yard. They are at work in it constantly! We took a few pictures of the kids in different places throughout the yard. Jackson of course didn't want to cooperate. We are going to go over some time during the week around 10:00. The kids should be pretty happy and Wanda said that her flowers are usually in full bloom and gorgeous at that time!
Saturday, we spent around the house. We did a few little projects and then we spent the afternoon in the pool. Everyday its been at least 100. The kids want to be outside and the only way we can survive for over 15 mins is if we are in the pool. We have lots of fun being together as a family. The kids love the water. We had an early dinner at the ChuckWagon, which never fails to be delicious. We came home played some more and after the kids went to bed, Byron and I watched National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. Its a good movie!
Sunday we went to church. Jaycee is doing fantastic in her new class. She will now walk to her class with other parents, which is really great. Jackson is very much a momma's boy and I stay with him in nursery. There are times that I think that I am doing something wrong. That maybe Jackson has a problem or something, but I have come to the conclusion that this is a stage and it will pass. So I am going to hold on to it and enjoy it b/c one day I won't be so important in his life. (OR at least he won't want to admit that I am important in his life) After church we had lunch at the new Pizza Hut. Both kids were out like a light on our drive home. We carried them in and took a little nap ourselves. As much as I enjoy them, I think I am going to have to agree with Papa Lohrer and ban myself from Sunday naps. I woke up in an okay mood, but I just slept so hard that my entire body just hurt. It takes me a while to get focused. Anyways! After our naps, we took the kids down to Ma and Pa's house. Jackson was not happy at all that we were leaving him, but once we were gone he was happy. I remember Jaycee going through the same thing every Tues. night for small group. She would be so happy to have Lindsey come watch her, but she always tried to make us feel bad for leaving her. Byron and I had a date night to where else, Wal-Mart. Oh, its so nice to pull into the parking lot and get out without having to un-buckle seat belts. We are able to take our sweet little time looking at any and every department in Wal-Mart, so we did! Then we grabbed a bite to eat at Taco Bell and headed back to Loco. We visited with Ma and Pa for a bit, brought the kids home and put them into the bathtub. So that was our weekend!
News today at our house, Jaycee ate an entire peanut butter and jelly sandwich! WOOHOO! She has been eating peanut butter sandwiches for a few months. Today she decided that she would try the jelly. I put a little bit on my finger and gave her bite. She tried to act like she didn't like it. Then she asked for a few more bites. I suggested we put it on her peanut butter sandwich and she agreed. Oh, she is a huge fan of fruit smoothies, especially when Daddy makes them for her! We are making progress!

A knuckle bump for Jaycee!
A couple of posts ago I talked about how we are working on Jaycee's variety in the food department. Its not coming along as fast as I would have hoped, but we are making progress. She loves bean and cheese burritos now. Even though she isn't aware that the cheese is in there. Her new favorite is Chicken Fried Steak. Tyson Foods actually makes these so we get to enjoy them a lot more. I can make them but I hate the mess that it makes to do it! Yesterday, she wouldn't touch them so she went from breakfast at 7:30 a.m. til 6:00 p.m. with nothing. She actually ate a bean burrito last night b/c we had gone to church. Today for lunch, she was given the chicken fried steak again. At first she was protesting them. We don't try to force her in to eating them, we just let her know that these will be presented at every meal or anytime she asks for something until they are gone. So I finally said would you like for mom to give you a very small bite? (Thanks Nana for that hint.) She said sure. She chewed for a few seconds and she said Hey I really do like these. These are yummy. She cleaned her plate. WOOHOO! So we are progressing! With the encouragement of our family and Dr. James Dobson (Dare to Discipline book) we hope in another week or so she will have the understanding she will eat what we put in front of her and that there won't be a discussion about it! Thankfully, we won't have to go down this road with Jackson!
Oh, after Jaycee ate her lunch, Byron taught her to knuckle bump, let it explode, and let it rain down! I need to learn how to upload videos so I can post them. I think most would understand my explanation, but its pretty cute to see her do it!

WOW! This is powerful!
I heard this from a pastor this afternoon on TV " If I succeed without sacrifice then someone before me made that sacrifice. If I sacrifice and I don't see the reward then someone after me will reap that success." WOW!
The first one is obvious! The sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us! That he was perfect and sinless, but He died that we may live! I know as Christians we hear this all the time, but think about that. He did NOTHING wrong, but was so willing to give up His life for us to reap the rewards of having a relationship with our Heavenly Father and also to have the hope of being in Heaven with Him one day! He made the greatest sacrifice ever and it was all because He loved us.
The second that comes to mind is our troops. Because many years ago men were willing to put their life on the line for our freedom. We all have been rewarded because of what they did. Yes, I know that our country is at war again, but just think of the reward our children will receive because of it. I think we are already seeing some reward. Seven years after our nation being attacked and there has been nothing. I don't think a single soul on this planet would have thought that would have been possible. Because of the many men and women putting their lives on hold for this country I do think we are reaping many benefits. So troops THANK YOU so much for fighting to keep our nation free!
My grandparents made very big sacrifices for their family. Now because of that we don't have those same struggles. My parents have made sacrifices too. We make sacrifices for our children. Because of that we are better. I am so thankful that my grandparents and parents are here to see the reward in their great-grandchildren and their grandchildren.
As a parent, the sacrifice we make for our children. Not sleeping because they are sick during the night, missing out on some grand event because you have children, or not taking a job so you can stay at home with your children, yes its hard but to think of the rewards that will be gained. The joy on their faces to see that mommy is right by their side exploring the world around them. There are moments I think what am I doing? Are my kids ever going to learn right from wrong? Will Jaycee ever learn not to talk in a whining voice or have an attitude because she got sent to timeout. Guess what, today I saw a glimpse of all my talks, timeouts, spankings starting to get through. Jackson came to see what she was doing in the chair. Instead of her throwing a fit because she thought he was going to take her toys, she turned and said, Mommy please come help me save my toys from Bubby. AWE! Those words were music to my ears. Jackson came to me and moved on to other toys. PEACE!
I know that there will be many things that I might never see the rewards of. But knowing that the sacrifices I make will not be neglected by God. He knows and sees all. Someone, somehow, and someway will reap from the rewards. So I will continue to press on as a wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend and as a servant of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I would hate for someone not to reap a reward or succeed because I was too selfish to make a sacrifice!

Awe, the perfect day!
Well, I guess it really started with a great night. Last night Byron and I attended a wedding. The groom was a friend of mine in college. The bride actually was a girl that I played college ball against. It was an outside wedding in Oklahoma City. So my parents kept the kids for us. I guess you can call it a date night for us. We got home around 11:30 p.m. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. I didn't move at all during the night and I didn't see the clock until 6:57 a.m.! WOW! That was one great night of sleep.
Byron went to work this morning and brought the kids home when he was finished. So for a couple of hours this morning I was all alone in the house. Just having that time to hear nothing but the dogs barking is truly rejuvenating. It felt wonderful. I totally love Byron and the kids, but to have a small break like that was fabulous.
After the kids arrived home it was so wonderful to have them running into the house to me. They both had their mommy time. Jackson went down for a nap and I got Jaycee ready to go outside. She is quite the little helper. Byron and I worked around the yard. She follows you around wherever you go. She helped me clean up the backyard, rake up the endless leaves in the flower beds and the driveway. Along the way, she picked up sticks, too. I mowed inside the newly fenced in area. Byron did the rest of the yard. After the fenced in yard was all nice and clean we set the pool up. About the time Byron finished up the yard, Jackson woke up. We all got in the pool. At the end, we had Zoe and Scooby in as well. Zoe loves it. Scooby was forced in to clean her up a little and to cool her off. Zoe is just too cute. She walks around the edge of the pool waiting for someone to hold her.
This evening was great as well. We had dinner with my Aunt Retha and Uncle Johnny at the Chuck Wagon. You always leave there so full and satisfied! They came over to the house and visited. The kids had a wonderful time "showing off" for them. By the end of the evening Retha and I were in Jaycee's room surrounded by almost every toy in the house! It was great. Jackson's a Mommy's boy, but he was very fond of Retha. At the end, she was holding him. When we walked outside to say good-bye he didn't want to leave her arms. I kept trying to take him and he kept pulling away! So that is HUGE for Jackson! I finally convinced him to come with me and he could go into the back yard with Scooby and Zoe. So in doing that we by passed having a major meltdown. The kids sent them home with big kisses and waves! We went in for baths and now they are both down for bed! HOPEFULLY, tonight's sleep will be just as grand as last night's!
So good night to all!

Pictures!
Here are pictures from Lindsey's visit! We had a blast. We took disposable cameras to Six Flags, but we didn't get a lot of pictures there. I wasn't allowed to carry a "Fanny Pouch". I mentioned something to Byron and Lindsey and they laughed and said NO WAY! A friend of mine told me if you could avoid taking a purse, back pack etc. into Six Flags do so. They make you pay to store your belongings. That is something that has changed from past years. So I thought well I could carry the fanny pouch (those are allowed on the rides) and that way we could have our cameras, gum, chap stick, sunglasses etc., but I was overruled by all 3 of them. I must say we did see some women that were wearing them and it looked funny. The fanny pouch that I was going to borrow from my mom was hot pink so that didn't help either.(It was the mom in me that thought I needed to do something, not that I was actually thrilled about sporting a hot pink fanny pouch through Six Flags) Byron and Dylan both wore cargo shorts so we had their pockets to put things. All the pictures we took at Arbuckle Wilderness we used Lindsey's camera. She is going to send those pictures sometime and then I will post them. We got some really good ones of her with the animals! Enjoy! We miss our Lindsey so much! Isn't she just gorgeous! She is even more so on the inside! Oh, a couple of the pictures were taken by Jaycee! I am sure you won't have a difficult time picking those out!

The rest of the story!
A few days into Lindsey's visit I had posted. So I will finish out the rest of her stay. We had a fabulous time. Lindsey is one amazing girl! We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
The Six Flags trip was a huge hit! We took with us, Dylan Lemley. He is a junior in high school and he is our associate pastor's kid. We watch him play basketball. We thought that having 4 go to Six Flags would be better, b/c no one would have to ride by themselves. For Byron's sake, it gave him a guy to talk to instead of being with girls all day and listening to our conversations. We all had a great time. Lindsey kept saying this in no fair, I have nothing to compare this place to. So I have no way of expressing to my friends how awesome this place is. Superman was her favorite ride. That is also Byron's. They rode it 5 times. I rode it 4 and Dylan rode it twice. Dylan was the best to ride the rides with. He is such a screamer! Especially, on the Superman. The Superman has 4 sides with 3 seats. You have a harness that comes over your head and locks so it allows your feet to dangle. When the ride begins, it sucks you to the top! The top is close to 30 stories high. It is so awesome!It has some amazing views, but you would have to ask Byron about those views. I kept my head back and looking straight ahead. Then it drops you from the top! That is the best part of the entire ride. You actually come out of your seat a little! It takes a few seconds for your stomach to catch back up to the rest of your body! All of the rides were great. We had a Flash Pass Gold, so we never had to stand in the lines. That was great since it was probably 100 degrees that day. After the day of riding was over we ate at Salt Grass Steakhouse. YUMMY! Lindsey loved all of the food choices we have down here. She kept saying Bellingham needs one of these. Lindsey thinks B'ham needs a Chili's, Sonic, Salt Grass, and Mexican restaurants that serve sopapillas for dessert. A sopapilla is a deep-fried bread with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled all over them. Add some honey and you get DELICIOUS! She totally agreed that shopping down our way was much better too.
Fourth of July we actually didn't do much. We hung out around the house and I think we even had some rain that day. Lindsey and I watched the What not to Wear marathon on TLC. Saturday, we spent most of the day outside. We set up the kids' pool. Lindsey and I soaked up lots of sun. By the end of the day we were pretty red, especially Lindsey! Sunday we went to church. Sunday evening we went fishing down at my parents. Byron and I caught a fish, but Lindsey had no luck. After fishing we went to my grandparents house. If you didn't know Lindsey is a very gifted singer and songwriter. For her senior project she is putting together 3 songs of her own for a demo. So used Ma's keyboard and sang one of them for us! It was beautiful! She has an amazing voice. Monday we went into Duncan. We had a few things to get at Wal-Mart, we had a sno-cone, and gave the car a bath (Jaycee's terms for washing the car). Tuesday, we baby-sat my friend Ruslyn's 2 children. Her regular sitter wasn't available so she called late Monday night to see I could keep them. Cody and Caitlyn came over and played for a few hours. The kids all did great and it was so nice to have the extra hands from Lindsey. That evening we took Lindsey to Arbuckle Wilderness. She absolutely loved it! The giraffes were her favorite. She fed them for a good 10 mins. Yesterday, we did a little shopping, had lunch at a wonderful Mexican restaurant called Ted's. Then it was time for her to fly back to Washington.
We all had a grand time. Jackson warmed up to Lindsey. He can now say her name. Every time he saw her, he said it. He loved for her to tickle his back. He would lay by her on the couch and she would scratch his back. Also, at bedtime he had to have a kiss from Lindsey to go along with the kisses he has come to expect from Jaycee and Daddy. Jaycee thoroughly enjoyed Lindsey being here. Lindsey played dress up with Jaycee and they even did each other's make up one day! Oh, now Jackson's new thing to say is Lindsey Bye-Bye! So darn cute! I have pictures and I will try to post them later today! There you have it the rest of the story!

Safe Arrival!
Lindsey arrived safely yesterday. We are having so much fun. Jaycee was very excited. She was up at 7:00 a.m. Byron asked her what her plans for the day were? She said to see my Lindsey. He asked where are you going to see Lindsey? Jaycee said we are going to the airport. We got to OKC airport around 1:00. We went on a potty run and then waited patiently. Lindsey's plane landed around 1:20. We were first in line to see the passengers as they arrived. When Jaycee spotted Lindsey she took off running. She leaped into Lindsey's arms and gave her a big hug. Then Jaycee turned to me and said My Lindsey is here, Mom. So things are going well. We ate at Chili's, we did a little shopping, and got the oil changed in the car.(One thing on the list I had forgot to do the day before,OOPS!) We got home around 8:00 last night. Lindsey went for a little run and then she played with the kids. They were extremely hyper. Jackson began to open up a little more to Lindsey. She still hasn't held him, but I think in another day or so that will happen. He's a momma's boy! He loves for her to chase him though! Today we are relaxing and going to church tonight. Tomorrow we are taking Lindsey to Six Flags over Texas! YAY! We are going to have a blast! My parents are watching the kids! After that not sure what our plans will be, but I know it will be filled with lots of fun!
