Antique Show, Turkey Trot, & Sleepover

Wow...has it been 2 weeks since I posted? It seems like the weeks just fly by! I guess I'll just try to start up where I left off...On Sept. 11th our School went to the Antique Show. Calvin, Kendrick & I went along to help out!


Kendrick "milking" a cow...he got the biggest kick out of this!:)

Playing on the playground after we ate lunch!

Kaitlyn and her group....after lunch we divided up into smaller groups b/c there were too many in our group...We didn't get with Kaityln's group and I just wanted her to come with our group. She wanted to go with her friends...she said "Mom I'll be just fine with them". Another sign she is growing up!

This was a display of all sorts of little cars, trucks, tractors, trains and anything you could image. The kids thought this was really neat especially Kendrick...he wanted to go back and look at it the second time!

The kids got bracelets at the Turkey Trot on Sat. night. They had a great time riding the rides. Kaitlyn & Kendrick's favorite thing was the inflatable bouncy thing! Icouldn't get a good picture of them on any of thebig rides....

Kyann really like the rides...I was surprised I didn't think she was big enough to like them...but every time we got her off of one she would get stiff...she wanted to stay on!:)

Kaitlyn & Kendrick being silly!!

KENDRICK'S SLEEPOVER.....

Every since Kaitlyn had her sleepover, Kendrick has been begging to have one too! He invited his little Graber cousins. They all did really well and made it all night!

getting ready to "sleep"!

Eating breakfast...waffles and smoky links!!

~ 1st Day of 3rd Grade ~

8.24.09 ~ Kaitlyn's first day of third grade! She really likes school now which is a blessing! She didn't like it the first 5 or 6 weeks of Kindergarten AND first grade.:( She cried every night before bed and every morning and when I dropped her off at school. It really tugged on this Mommy heartstrings to have to leave her at school when she was crying!:( Last year went really well and this year is starting out great..I hope it stays this way!:) This is her desk.

Their room is decorated with a jungle theme. It's very cute! This is one corner of it.

Getting ready to go to School!!

Another exciting event took place in the Graber Family on 8.24.09.....Adison Benjamin graced the world with his presence!!:) He weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. and 21 inches long! This is my little nephew. We are having lots of fun with this little sweetie!!:) He just lives across the road so we run over and squeeze him just about every day!!:)

OUCHY HAND!!

8.19.09 ~ Kyann burned both of hands on our grill!:( I was putting hamburgers on the grill and Kyann walked up behind me and before I even realized she was there she put both hands on the grill!:( Needless to say she SCREAMED for 2 1/2 hrs.!!:( I wasn't sure what to do so I called my MIL and she came to the rescue!!!:) Thank goodness for Grandmas! We kept her hands in ice cold water for about 10 min. at time for 2 hrs. She hated it to start with and fought us....it took 3 of us to keep them in the water!:( About the last half hour she started to realize that the cold water was making it feel better so she would put her hands in herself...she feel asleep with her hands in the water...bless her little heart! She ended up with several blisters. The worst one was right beside her thumb and it busted the very next morning!:( That place got very sore and every time she bumped it it started bleeding. On Monday (8.24.09) I took her the Dr. b/c I didn't think it was looking very good. He said she had second and third degree burns in that area. We continued to keep it bandaged using B & W ointment (that is some good stuff!) for about a week. It looks really good now! When we ask her where her ouchy hand is she immediately shows us her right hand and when we say something is "hot" she pulls away! I'm so glad it's better now, I just hate to see my kiddos in pain!!:(

About a week after it happened...

The night it happened..all bandaged up before bed!

This is when she had the blister, you can't really see it, she didn't want to hold still!
