A busy weekend

:So we tested it and Gabe can eat deer :) I am super stoked that we have a beef alternative. It really opens up some options for him.

:I am in the middle of writing a research paper which is less than thrilling but it is due in a week so write I must. It's on Mamtek, woot, not really but they seem to always becoming out with new info so that's good.

:Patrick has been trying to make jerky as fast as I can eat it, I'm winning lol. It's so nice to have someone to cook for me :)

:This four day weekend has been awesome! I have been cleaning pretty much nonstop when we haven't been at someones house eating. We have got a lot done but for some reason with between 3 and 5 of us here at all times we just haven't caught up, ahhhh! I am soooooo sad to know that it is over, I am not ready to go back to work I love family time. :)

:Oh I haven't gotten to put my tree up yet which is Killing me! Patrick you are in soooo much trouble. I am going to put it up Tuesday I don't care what he says. I don't have class so Gabe and I can put it up together. :P

:Oh and a picture for this post is my silly little boy. I love you buddy :)

Grandpa Kite

Well he seems to have adjusted very well to the nursing home. The nurses are all very nice and bubbly which is very important because he responds so much better that way.

A little less than a week ago he slipped in the hallway and broke his hip and was rushed to the hospital. They had to do surgery but he is doing better now. He is back at the nursing home now, which is great! He didn't like the people at the hospital. He doesn't respond well when you tell him to take his pills or eat or really anything for that matter. I am glad that he is back with people he likes and where he can get therapy for his hip.

He broke a hip last year and one this year maybe now that he has done it twice he will stop. (crossing my fingers)

Glad to say that he is doing better. It has been a crazy week.

Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we are gonna have a busy weekend. We are headed to the Rutherford family Thanksgiving tomorrow and then on Friday we are going to the Bias one and Saturday is the Kite one. Lots of Family and Lots of Food. Sunday will truly be a day for rest, after all that food my poor body is gonna need it.

Here is a random cute baby to get you in the mood :)

Have a good Turkey Day Everyone!

Random Happenings

School: It is almost time for midterms ick, I have a 10 page paper I have to write, and I guess I otta get started on it if I don't want it to kick my butt.

:We have rearranged Shawn's room again, it is the one room of the house that is always getting switched around but at least this time it is all organized and the TV is plugged in and everything. It is really starting to look like his room and not the office that it was originally.

:Grandpa went into the nursing home yesterday. Everything went smoothly. He is at Parkside Manor in the Aspen unit. We fixed up his bedroom with family pictures and a plac with KENNETH right above his bed. We also put up a coat rack for his coats and hats. Mom called the nurse to check on him last night and she said that he was flirting with the nurses and laughing. So far so good I hope he is happy. :)


:On December 3rd Patrick and I will have been together for a year :) It is completely amazing to me that it has already been that long since found each other. We were both in such a different place then and I am so happy that he came into my life when he did. I honestly feel so blessed, I don't even know how to begin to explain it. I love you baby :D <3

Halloween

So for Halloween we went to trunk or treat with Abbi and Lorelai.

We didn't get to see Shawn and Wesson for Halloween but here is a picture of them. :)



Busy times

:Oh gosh where to start. Well we had the Nichols family reunion which was nice. It is always good to catch up with the family. We had it in Ashland at the park this year which is different because for the last 25 years it has been at the farm, but everybody showed up and we had a good time. It would have been nice though if the rain could have held off.

:Patrick, Shawn, Wesson, Abbi, Lorelai, Gabe, and I all went to Mason's 1st bday party. Which was a great time, and a little hectic with all the kids running around.

the two 1 year olds

:This is the last week of Marketing and after a whoping 1 week off I am going to start Management. Woo Hoo. I think they should at least give us 2 weeks to recover from finals gosh.

:Wesson turned 2, and we had a party for him. he was very excited by his 4wheeler and his camo. You should have seen him with his camo hat on his four wheeler carrying a catfish it was very funny.

:The same weekend as Wesson's bday everyone was moving. Sean & Cristy moved into a trailer from the apartment complex and Abbi moved into Ashland. Let me tell you it was a crazy week and Claire put on facebook that they are trying to buy a house. I always think its funny when everyone does something all at once, and its all over facebook. Anyway Gabe is excited because he now has his very own room with his daddy where he didn't before and he got a new bed. I think he was excited bout the bed he seems to tell everyone. :)

:There has been a little bit of bed switching going on at my house too. We have gotten Gabe and Wesson's room clean and orginized as well as converted Gabe's bed from a crib to a daybed so he is very happy that he can get out of it whenever he wants. We also gave Shawn a car bed which I think he is pretty excited about. The boy loves cars the movie so what could be more appropriate.

:Saturday was a big day we went to the Pumpkin Festival and Lorelai's bday party. It was a long day but the boys had a great time and then we all went to bed early.

All three boys :)
