Another Good Day

Yesterday afternoon I was able to stop by to see some friends that I didn't think I was going to get to see so was SO excited when I heard they would be in Goodfield

Katie, Katie, and Me
Testing my new camera to make sure its water proof.
As its taking this picture it is sitting in a big bowl of water looking up at us!
(Katie, Me, Katie, Blake, Matt)


Then it was off to supper with the family
Ryan, Jaxon, Nicole, Me, Kristen, Adam

I think this picture is HILARIOUS!

Jaxon had just been fed and was filling his pants as we were trying to take

a picture of all of us kids. Ryan does not do well with dirty diapers and it looks like he was trying not to gag while taking the picture.

Skydiving!!!

Saturday at noon we met in El Paso and drove up to Skydive Chicago to jump.

Chris having to get up at the early hour of noon looks like

he is sleeping as he drive us up to the jump site

Megan Playing with the camera on the way
Chris and Brittany having a heart to heart while we waited

Finding out we can't jump today because of the bad weather

so I made another reservation for Tuesday morning!

Lord willing the sun will be shining and it will be BEAUTIFUL!

The group picture

The Circus!

Friday I went over and had the opportunity to hang out with Mary all day

We worked around the yard transplanting flowers and cleaning out the dog kennels

Then Friday Night Josh Mary and I went to the Gamma Phi Circus!

Mary and I

(this is not a good pic of me but it was the only one I had

Josh was getting us popcorn so he wasn't in the picture)

The trapeze people

(notice the guy on the far right he was an older

gentleman but knew what he was doing

he did about fall off the platform once though:))

More of the Trapeze
Some cool stunts off the "swing"

These girls were fun to watch they were very

high up and rolled themselves up in these silk sheet like things

and did flips and twists and all sorts of cool things

The jugglers

Two guys would jump off the platform on the right and

launch the girl in the air who would then flip and

end up on the shoulders of the 2nd guy.

The tight rope walkers...upside down.

I was VERY impressed with these students abilities.

The show was very cool!

What I have been doing

Last Friday I met Kate in Bloomington for lunch and pedicures!
Tuesday Night I met Megan for Supper and to catch up
(Yes it was freezing and I was wearing my winter coat)
Wednesday Night I Met Aud and Holly For Supper and to Catch Up

Thursday I Met Kate for lunch and shopping then we took Lincoln to the park

Megan and Mason Met us there to Play
Thursday Night I Met Wendy for Coffee then back to her house to play with Ella,

Get my hair cut, and talk some more!

It was a good week! Thanks Everyone!

Discovery Museum

Today I had the opportunity to hang out with Jamey. We met up with Kristy and Abbi and spent the day at the Discovery Museum

He always has to hide when he is going to see someone

so he can jump out and SURPRISE them.

Playing with the air pipes
Dancing and watching there movements on the wall

Jamey and Abbi painting the walls

Giving Kristy and I Lots of time to catch up.

Odd Jobs

So I have been asking everyone I meet if they have any odd jobs I can do to keep me busy while I am back so I don't get bored. I have had the opportunity to plant flowers, paint, and last night Teri and I went over to Granny's to clean her light fixtures.

Teri pulled them down
I swept up the cob webs and bugs
Then Granny would scrub them down before we put them back up

After the work was done we all sat down for tea and cookies and had us some girl talk:)
What a fun night.

Jaxon

I thought this shirt was funny but would never wish it upon him EVER.

maybe president of his class or a club or something... that would be okay
The Family
Nicole holding Jax and Ryan holding Wrigley

Wrigley is not to be left out. If you are there he is right beside you or on you. I was sitting back holding Jaxon on my chest with my legs pulled up thus the only place for Wrigley to sit on was my head... so he did.

Charming me with his smiles

Got the ornery look mastered already

Once again as soon as I picked up Jaxon from my lab

Wrigley was there to take his place.
