Update on Caitlyn

Good news is that Caitlyn is feeling better. The bad news is that Wesley ER didn't culture the urine so now we won't know if she is on the right meds till after she finishes it. Then we have to wait 2 days then take her back in for a test. And she hates the med. And she has to take 3 tsp....two times a day.

Wal-Mart Jeep Toy

Caitlyn playing in the toys at wal-mart. To bad she is getting to be for this. But she still stuck herself in it.

Trip to the ER

We ended up at the ER till 12:30am Sunday. Caitlyn liked watching the clock go from 2330 to 0000. Plus she was very happy when we finally didn't back to the treatment room she got her own TV and cartoons were on. Caitlyn was having problems going to the bathroom. She ended up having a bladder infection. She was so happy to show off her pee in the cup. IT was Orange. Oh the things kids think other people we don't know, should know. I just had to take a picture with my photo because she was so cute. She finally got the TV of her dreams. 5 inches from her head....

Snow Day

The First snow in Kansas....

Thanksgiving Break

Two silly kids

Today Caitlyn's friend Aiden came over to stay for a few hours so his mommy and daddy could go to a movie. We had fun the kids helped put away the clean clothes. Now in a few years I would be able to pay her enough money to help out.

Photo's by Caitlyn

We went to visit Great Grandpa last night at Wesley Rehab. While we were there Grandpa Ray showed up Caitlyn took pictures of everyone. She told Grandpa Ray that she wanted him to pose. And she didn't like the first one so she made him do it again. And then told him she didn't like him having his hand on the end of the bed. Thats my little boss...But Great Grandpa is looking good. And Caitlyn is loving having him close she gets to see him more often. He told her that when he got out of the hospital he would take her out for pizza. Well what Caitlyn heard was SUNDAY I will take you out for pizza. Nothing like hearing what you want.

Our lunch date with the Lakey birthday kids

Lunch Date

Alan and I had a lunch date with 3 very special children. I have a great nephew and 2 great nieces that all have birthdays in Oct and Nov so I could think of what to get them. So I thought I would take them out for lunch. And we had lots of fun with them. Ash and Austin are so smart and funny. Plus they are big helpers. Austin was filling us in on all the coaster rides. (too cute) but don't tell him I said that. He is a big boy. Austin just about got left at the Chinese food place. You know they have those little place mats that tell you if you were born in 2002 you are a horse and so on. Well we talking and I said I am a tiger and Little Austin asked if I was born in 1950 something. Oh that boy.....And Ashleigh is such a sweet and kind preteen. Hard to believe that she is going to be 11. Plus she didn't say I was old. (I think I should get her an extra big something) Anna is a sweetheart, she reminds me of Caitlyn. And that says a lot. Poor Tami has her hands full. Then when we dropped off the kids Amy was home from school. Amy is always shy around me, but she is always sweet. But I did get to see her fight with her sister over the car seat before we left. Alan and I had a lot of fun with our nieces children. They are very sweet kids to be around. They must have a Great Mom.

I told my sister that the reason you don't give your child away after they have had a really bad day is because they look so sweet when they are a sleep. God knew what he was doing....
Today before I put Caitlyn on the bus I went to the kitchen to get her a muffin and a Sunny D. When I came back she was gone. I found her standing in the shower fully dressed looking at the shower wall. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that she didn't like the ducks up that high and wasn't getting out till I moved them down. Now mind you these are ducks that are suppose to go on the bottom of the tube but they would stick so I have them on the walls of the shower. I put them up at the top of the shower about 3 days ago and she just now noticed.

This is the reason we keep Caitlyn

Little more on Aunt Sondra's visit

Aunt Sondra and Doby came down to visit us. And so Aunt Sondra could have a 3-D 4-D sono.

Doby has been sick, so when Sondra took him to the vet. about a month ago they said he had lung cancer. And only had a very short time. He has finally gotten to the point they have to put him down on Wed. Please keep Sondra in your thoughts and prays. She has been having a hard time dealing with it. Doby is a very special dog and is very loved.

Shadow loves his new winter shirt.

What a crazy dog. We put his sweat shirt on last night and he didn't want to take it off. Got to love little dogs they are full to the top with personality.

New Monkey PJ's from Aunt Sondra

Happy 6th Anniversary

Hard to think its been six years now...

Austin's first close up

They said he is about 2 lbs and 3 oz. And he is only 26 weeks. I keep telling Sondra that he is going to be a very BIG baby.

Bad to the Bone

Yes, I know that Caitlyn needs a helmet(we are getting her one) but she really wanted a ride with daddy. They had fun, he only went down the street and back but she thought it was the best thing in the world. Then we told her she had to get in the Explorer and go to look for a helmet for her and her dad and she didn't want to get off of it. Why do I think I am going to have my hands full when she starts to date. You will notice that both have on there leather jackets and Caitlyn has on pretty pink shoes. But if you look at them up close there are skulls and cross bones. (daddy picked them out and she just loved them)

The last picture is Rusty, I just thought it was to cute with his tongue out.

Alan's New Toy

This is Alan's birthday, Christmas, and everything for the next year plus.....

Caitlyn dressed herself

I asked Caitlyn to get dressed to go down to the hospital. And this is what she came out in. I do love her fashion sense. And then there is the small fact thats its only 65 degrees outside.

Caitlyn and Mommy got new hair cuts

Our House Afer Dark

Caitlyn could not wait to get home and hand out candy. I think she had more fun handing out candy then she did getting it. You know how much she loves to talk and everyone that came up wanted to talk to her. She had a blast till bedtime and she got to stay up till 8pm. So that was another big deal.

Early in the night we found a bumble bee

We dressed Shadow up in his costume. He has been a bumble bee for the last few years. Good thing he hasn't grown. We also went trick or treating with our friends across the street. The kids had fun.

Caitlyns Computer Time

More Pumpkin Carving

This time mommy and Caitlyn did the carving and Caitlyn helped a lot more this time. This was her first year to get to use the tools. And she still has all her fingers and so does mommy. Caitlyn also got grandma Mary's old computer and we set it up and now she has all her games in there and she just loves it. But now she has to earn her computer time.
