Heck Ya...

Life at our house is certainly not boring right now...
  • Colton fought me on Saturday night about getting off a toy and eating his supper, so I lifted him off the toy, and put him back at the dinner table. (Right before we left on our really, really, fun double date) and was crying as I left saying, "Mommy hurted me"...........but I assumed he was just being tired/dramatic, and off we went. Grandma Jacki reported when we got home, that his arm really must hurt, because he favored it/didn't use it all night. Yeah, Mom of the year. I felt AWFUL. After a Urgent Care visit on Sunday morning (where THANKFULLY he didn't tell the doctor that "mommy hurted me"...) we found out he had nursemaid's elbow. The doc twisted him right back into shape (and Colton didn't even cry!!) and off we went. Thank goodness it wasn't something more serious. 
  • Emmalyn is still fighting her cold, and I'm pretty sure she's getting teeth too. Let me tell you how that combination is working out for us............NOT WELL!!! Little stink is pretty particular that Momma holds her........................................all the time. This is not good for the shape of our house, nor for the laundry getting done...however, the snuggle time is nice...especially when she flashes one of those huge grins after a giant crying fit. 
  • Colton is totally repeating and listening more than we realize. A few examples:
    • He called his dad on the way to Pam's this morning:  "Hi Dad", "Hi Colton, what are you doing?" "Going at Pam's, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" (Perfect amount of sarcasm). "Gotta go Dad, bye"..............and he hung up. 
    • I've been enjoying the fact that Colton request "stuck like glue" when we get in the car, and that he sings along, "You me babe stuck ike goo"...
    • His Dad retaliated that by teaching him "Rockstar" by Nickelback. He can't sing it, but he now requests it in the car. 
    • Randomly, yesterday, he pipes up from the back seat..."smoke and drink dad....turn on smoke and drink"............................................which after some consideration, we decided is the new Eric Church (I think) song, "Smoke a little smoke, drink a little drink".................................................
    • At breakfast yesterday, she asked if he wanted sprite in his cup, and Colton replied, without a blink "heck ya..."...and he uses this phrase A LOT!!!
    • When Colton gets in trouble at Pam's, she said he almost ALWAYS will throw his hands out to the side, and say, "But, I'm just a guy"....
We have our hands full right now folks, but boy is it fun....

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
