Circus & Zoo

Last night I took Trin to the circus at our school. She loved it, even though it was a little cheesy! Yesterday morning all of the school kids got to go over to the high school and watch the elephants raise the big tent. We had ball practice last night so I had to leave the circus early to go to practice but Trin stayed with a friend of mine to finish watching the circus. She came to practice when the circus was over. Our first game is a week from tomorrow, so I am trying to get in as many practices as I can. We have practice again tonight and tomorrow. Today was Trinity's field trip with her kindergarten class. So we took off to Mesker Zoo in Evansville for the day. We only stayed at the zoo about 2 hours but this was long enough for all of the kids. And what a wonderful day to go to the zoo.

Easter Recap

Saturday morning we went to an Easter egg hunt at Elnora. Normally they have a really good hunt, but this year I was not very impressed. Trin had fun so I guess that's all that matters. Then that afternoon we finally had our first ball practice, in the mud! Sunday, we went to Crystal's for lunch and another egg hunt. Needless to say, we have plenty of candy. After getting home from Crystal's, we went down to John's aunt Melodys house for a get together with the Knepp family. Now we are off to bed to get ready for another busy week. I have all next week scheduled to sub. at school. I was scheduled all last week also. I will probably work the rest of the school year. I have been booked solid since February, which is a good thing.

Spring Break

We had spring break this week so Thursday afternoon we headed down to French Lick to go to the new water park. It was really neat but I thought it was more for little kids. Trinity had a blast! We stayed at the hotel last night, and went back to the park today for a few hours. Everyone was exhausted and ready to come home.

As you could see from the pictures, we went with our friends, Mike and Priscilla Malone and their kids, Ethan and Miriley. After we left the water park, we stopped by West Baden Springs Hotel to show Trin and Nicole the dome atrium. It is the neatest place. They were setting up for a huge welcome party for some National Guard troops, so they didn't have the furniture out like usual but it was still really awesome!

Taking Care of Braylei

Trin and I are just hanging out today, babysitting Braylei. Annie watched her all night last night and then brought her over here this morning before she went to school. Nicole came in and helped for a little while and just now went home. We ate lunch, played with toys, gave Trin and Braylei a bath, then put Braylei down for a nap. She is now nine months old and is alot more work. Kinda forgot what it is like! She went to sleep around 1pm so hopefully she will sleep for a little while. Nicole put Braylei in the toy basket earlier and Braylei thought it was pretty neat.





We will probably have her until LeighAnn gets off of work around 8:00pm. She is a pretty good baby and absolutely LOVES Trin.

First Tooth!!

We had another first last night. Trinity finally lost her first tooth. Her bottom two teeth have been loose for a while but last night she bit down wrong and it really got loose. As she was looking in the mirror wiggling her tooth, it popped out and she almost swallowed it. She was fine until it started bleeding! Here is a picture that she wanted to take.

She was so excited that she could take her tooth in for show and tell today but then she woke up again this morning with the flu! She was better yesterday but got it back again during the night. So we are home again today getting better. I told her that she could take her tooth tomorrow.

Flu Again!!

Yes, we are home with the flu again!! Trinity starting puking around 10pm last night and I had to call and cancel school again. It seems like the flu bug just won't leave the school. The other morning four kids got sick either on the bus or in the foyer at school before the bell even rang! Having never sent Trinity to daycare, we are not used to being this sick this often.

I worked all of last week and then my husband John came home on Wednesday. Saturday we headed up to the semi-state with everyone. And yes, we got beat. It was a good game the first half with us leading and then the second half was a different story. Anyway, it wasn't a blow out just 4-6 points. It was exciting for us anyways. Saturday night Annie and Jordan came over and we grilled out and watched a movie. And that's about as exciting as it gets around here.

Trinity & Braylei

We have been outside playing alot these last couple of days and cleaning up the yard. I am sure everyone else has been too. Today is suppose to be the last nice day for awhile, so we took advantage of it. LeighAnn, Rachel and Nicole brought Braylei in so we could all go for a walk. Trin decided that it would be best to put her and Braylei in the wagon and we could just pull them. :) I just think she didn't want to walk. It was a good thing that we had lots of people to take turns pulling the wagon, we probably had a combined weight of around 70lbs. Talk about a workout! Here are some pictures of our day and alot of Braylei's "firsts".

I misspelled Makayla's name in the slide but I didn't want to go back to fix it, oh well. We had a scare last night as our other dog Layla starting having seizures. The vet is hoping it is a vitamin deficiency (sp?) so we are going to try dog vitamins. He said seizures are common in Chihauhau's but not until they are much older. Hopefully the vitamins will work. Anyway, that's all for now. I probably won't update for a few days, but hopefully I can update with a Cougar win on Saturday!!
