GayLord Resort

We hung out with Hank on Friday night.

Dinner at the Riverwalk Café was wonderful, just like the last time we ate there. The atmosphere was perfect and it was a nice and relaxing evening.

It was actually a special thank you dinner to Oma and Opa for all the help they give us with the boys. I had such a special relationship with my grandparents growing up, that it means so much to me that they are so involved with Kolbe and Nickolas. They usually see them every week or so, and they are great with them. Not only are the boys learning and seeing wonderful traits, but I get to see small pieces of how Keith was raised. It really gives a lot of insight.

They are the best grandparents we could ask for.

Camping

Keith took Kolbe camping for the first time over the weekend at Tyler State Park. They had a great time, aside from it being very muggy. They had spaghetti for dinner, burned marshmallows and spent lots of time looking at bugs and going for walks.

Kolbe had a hard time falling asleep in the tent for the first time, but other than that, I think it was a good start to many more camping trips to come!

How Many Designers Does It Take...

To change a flat tire?

After lunch today, Susie's tire was flat, weird....so we all decided to stand around and contribute a little something and help her out.

Turns out it takes:

- 1 to get the spare tire
- 1 to lift the truck
- 1 to change the tire
- 1 to hold an umbrella
- 1 to sit in another running car
- 2 to takes pictures
- 4 to watch

And that's how many it take to change a tire!

The Big One

Yes-it is. With a big 3 in front of it! In 33 minutes I will be 31. Much older and wiser than the mere 30 that I am right now.

Thank you to everyone today who made my birthday a super special one. I am lucky to have such great people around me who take the time to celebrate my aging process. You guys are the best!

Rock in the Nose-Sounds Good


I get a call at noon today from Kolbe's daycare, and they tell me that he decided to put a rock up his nose and they can't get it out. I will have to come and get him and take him to the doctor to have it removed.

I get to the school, and he is sitting in the office, runs up to me and very proudly tells me he "put a rock in his nose". I was surprised to see it look like it was just sitting in there, but it was rather large and he said it hurt to touch. I guess I had just pictured it being a pebble that was way up there and that's why it wouldn't come out.

It didn't take too long for the doctor to take it out, and she said this happens all the time, but told Kolbe never to put anything in his nose again! Especially rocks!
