The weekend in Midland

Last friday we got on the road for our 6 hr drive to Midland to see my brother Heath and his family. They had a baby girl last month so we all went to go see their house and meet baby Iraland. We had lots of fun, the hotel we stayed at had a ton of indoor room for them to run around in, play mini golf, ping pong, and swimming. I think I was in the pool for 3 hrs on Saturday man the kids wanted to swim. I got a lot of good pictures but they will have to wait until sometime next week because I left my camera at my sister in-law Melissa's parents house. We are real lucky on timing because they are coming out this weekend her sisters family has stuff going on out here. It was a lot of fun to have a long weekend away with the family.

Mario Kart for Wii

Sorry Ive been absent lately. On Monday morning we bought Mario Kart for our Wii. Let me just tell you how addicted we are. We have each already beaten over half the track cups. And the motor bike races aren't as easy as the karts, man alive I get so frustrated with it. I am the biggest sore looser there is, especially to video games. Earlier this evening after playing a few rounds and then getting blown off the cliff 3 times in a row by all the stuff they can shoot at you, I said not so nice things to Zane and tossed the wheel at him. I am horrible when I try hard and I get beat at the last second with no chance of recovery to win gold. But that is no excuse. Don't worry I'm going to go apologize to Zane in a minute. But this game is the reason nothing new has been posted this week. But I do have to give tribute to Koopa Troopa, he is my favorite little turtle man. We have this unspoken bond, if I push his buttons just right he really gets going for me. He knows just when to bob and when to weave.

What Happened Today

First off Konnor has pulled himself to standing a few times on the couch, other smaller things he has been able to pull up to for a few days. Crawling even faster to get where he wants. Especially if I leave the room he will attempt to come get me, he gets a bit tired and screams for me.

Second, I cut both of the boys hair today at home all by myself and it actually looks really good. Sadly better than most times we have taken Keegan somewhere to get it done. We were trying to keep the tv off as long as possible, because Keegan is a tv addict. So after lunch I decided lets go for it, then they got baths and where all clean for when Zane got home.

Third, I cut my finger again, a different one though. I was cleaning up my little hair mess and the broom broke in half and sliced my finger. It was metal inside with a flimsy plastic coating on it, I wouldn't have guessed it, I figured a regular plastic broom like most.

Fourth, with all those adventures and no date night in the past 2 months we decided to go to eat kinda fancy. So we got the kids in the car with all they needed to be happy at a restaurant and went to Texas Roadhouse. mmm mmm good! and we have leftover ribs for tomorrow, yippy!

All back to normal as you can see

That was the weirdest thing. I thought that when you copy the template code and pasted it into your blog that it was no longer linked to where you got it but I was mistaken. Im glad I didnt work hard to fix it because it only took 4 hrs for them to fix it.

Ignore the blog background

So this morning I woke up decided to check my blog and what did I find, well I'm guessing you see it too. My background and style is all out of whack. I haven't changed anything, so I check the site I got mine at and everything there looks just as weird as mine does so I'm guessing it is tied together. So bear with me while I figure it out. I don't want to change it to soon i really liked it. So we will see if it fixes itself today or not. If it looks like it did the previous with dots and stuff tell me maybe its just my computer.

Konnor wins the sick boy award

As I said before Konnor has had thrush for 3 weeks but its gone now, with just a little medicine left. Most of this week he has had goopy eyes, so I finally took him to the doctor today. They said he has pink eye and ear infections which are worse on the right side. How sad is that, the poor little guy and he has been pretty happy through it all, he is our little trooper. Odly enough he is also at the stage of almost constant teething too.

Not much happening around here

Sorry nothing big going on here. Konnor has had thrush for the past 3 weeks the first medicine didnt work the second so far looks good but its a 14 day medicine. Keegan and Konnor both have had colds and strange fevers that come and go with no other symptoms its really weird.
Oh yeah I quit my job at Carters the other week, the little the pay wasn't worth the time i was missing with my family, but hey I made 5 months there. All winter months of course.
Once its nice outside there is so much more we can do as a family. If it wasn't for the strange storms going on here, we have had tornadoes actually touch down in Allen. If it wasn't so stinking windy we could be outside having tons of fun but with winds at 20 to 30 miles an hour not much fun .


The boys love to take baths together, Konnor is Keegan's toy, he puts soap and bubbles on him, he splashes him and just makes him giggle the whole time. Konnor loves it to as you can see, they both cry when we take them out. Last Saturday we went swimming with my whole family and we all had a blast, Keegan went down the big spinning slides . Konnor just splashed and giggled, when we got out he just stared at the water the whole time the lifeguards had their break until we got back in, it was so cute.

How come its so much work just to get a picture of Keegan at least looking in the direction of the camera, in this one i had to stand in front of the tv and hold his little face . He always turns just when it takes the picture. He used to not be like this but at about 2 he decided he was gonna make us work for the pictures. I hope Konnor doesn't figure it out for a while.
Konnor is now crawling around more he still army crawls but the legs get a little work too now, he loves all the big kid toys all over the floor. He loves to chew on puzzle pieces and wood blocks.
