Its a fair day

Today was the BIG DAY!!! Kaden got to go to his very first fair!! :) He had a blast as you will see on some of the pictures. Unfortunately my digital camera was full so we had to resort to the old camera so I have to wait to get those developed (bummer) So the good news is Grandma got to go along! She is feeling good today no pain meds needed she is dealing with the pain ok so far. So she loved it she was glad to see Kaden with all the animals. It was really really nice! Jen and Kam did not come :( she wanted to get home since she was gone all week and see did not want to get home too late where Kam would be up all night since Kam likes to sleep on car rides. Kaden was sooo tired from the fair he fell asleep in Horicon and was not happy at all that I woke him up when we got home so he would not be up all night either since Friday is another FUN day. We as you know are going to Appleton to the zoo up there!!! YEAH!!! I can't wait. Bill is going golfing AGAIN! So this will be a fun filled day and weekend I think. I am glad my mom is feeling better she is doing little things here and there to help herself so I hope she will be ok. I am going to the doctor on Monday with her even though she does NOT want me to but I want to hear what the doctor has to say about all this. Well so more about the fair I am jumping all over sorry lots to say today!! Kaden went down a BIG slide with me and loved it we had to go down 2 times he would have went down 110's of times but only 2 and he also picked duckies from a pond and won 2 prizes a football and a plastic blow up hammer with 101 dalmations on it (watch out Gizmo and Dexter) and then of course we ate ALOT! COTTON CANDY !!! :) YEAHH YUMMMMMYYYY!!!!! And Kaden had a hot dog and fries and nachos and did not care for the cotton candy (silly kid) and then a slushy! But all the animals he loved and tractors oh my! He also went on a piny ride which he cried when it was done same with the slide he cried and cried when that was all done. He was having way to much fun but also tired so that was our cue to leave a fun day had by all I think. But we did miss Auntie Jen and Kamryn! Next year foresure you are coming!!!! Till Friday with more pictures good night!!1

Get well soon Grandma

Well..... A boring start to the week to finish up with a scary situation. My mom was taken by ambulance Tuesday morning from work with a pretty injured index finger on her right hand. A machine she was working on went hay wire and got her finger with a rivet. It went through her finger and broke 2 bones in her finger and plenty of stitches needed to repair it. She passed out immediatly and that is really all she remembers. I apparently got a phone call of which never happened and so they called her sister that lives in West Bend where my mom works thank goodness someone was with her. I feel terrible that I was not able to be with her when she needed me the most. I guess it was a good thing since I would have been a basket case driving!! So my sister came down Tuesday night to stay with my mom who is now home and make sure she takes care of herself and does NOTHING she is not suppose to do she gets so light headed so fast. A very scary thing!!! So between my sister and me we are taking care of her while my dad is at work at night. So that is good. She is getting a bit crabby with us since we are doing everything and treating her like a baby I guess. Oh well :) So on a lighter note we are planning on going to the fair Thursday with Jen and Kam, Bill and myself and Kaden and if my mom feels up to it she really wants to go with us but we will have to see how she is feeling. Hate for something to happen to her at the fair. And then Friday we are planning on going to Appleton to the zoo up there but all this depends on if my mom is doing ok to be left alone. My dad is off on Friday so he can watch her while we are gone! Kaden does like seeing Grandma this way not able to play with him and such so that is sad. But hopefully she will be feeling better soon. She had a doctors appointment Monday morning to meet with her surgeon which I am going along with so we will see what he says and what the outcome looks like for her as far as healing time and the future of her finger. So I will keep you all updated. We ask that you keep my mom in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Till next time goodnight!!

still here

Yes we are still alive! Just not much going on lately which is a good thing I guess. Kaden is still feeling a little lousy as is Bill but we are dealing with it as best as we can. Today we pulled weeds and Kaden helped and then tonight before Bill left for horseshoes we trimmed the bushes up front that needed some major attention so that feels good to spuce up the yard a bit. Later this week we are planning on going to the Dodge county fair so Kaden can see the farm animals up close and personal and well as TRACTORS!!! OH MY!!! :) So I am looking forward to that and Jen might come down to go as well with Kamryn. A nice way to end the summer since she now has a job outside of being a mommy!!! :) So that is that. Tonight at bath time I was filling the tub for Kaden and he threw ta,ta (his elephant that he LOVES and needs to sleep) into the tub! So we had to put in the dryer to dry and oh dear did he cry and cry!!! I told him he needs to dry and to not throw him in again! All through bath he just cryed ta,ta,ta,! Poor thing I felt bad but he will learn. So that is all I am trying to get Kaden down to bed so I better go tend to that task. Have a great night and I will write again with pictures of the fair!! Cotton Candy here I come!!!!!!!

its tough being sick

Kaden and I have not been up to a whole lot. He is running a temp for the last 2 days and just feeling crummy. So ALOT of cuddle time again is in order. I think he is getting more teeth in and that is causing the discomfort along with a slight cold he has also. I also think I am getting what he has just low energy and headache! YUCKY!!! So we have managed to get out and go to a local park and go on the swings and play a little at least to get him a bit more happy being outside usually works. So not sure what the rest of the week holds for us. I have to work Saturday so I think maybe if Kaden is feeling better he will be spending the night by Grandma Zastrow since Bill is working again. So we will see I hope he feels better soon I hate seeing him down in the dumps I want my happy go lucky baby boy back soon!!! Well that is all for now have a great day!!! Hope to enjoy the nice weather less humid pretty comfy out!!!

Great Weekend

This weekend we had alot of fun! I went to Appleton to scrapbook with my sister and had a good time. I got alot done in a short time. I still have more to do but at least it was a start! Then after that we went shopping at Target to get a few things and then went back to her house and I got to visit with Kamryn which is always fun! And then a surprise Jen and Kam came down home with me to visit Grandma and Grandpa. As you can see in the pictures a good time had by all. My dad just loves having the grandkids over now since he is canning and works nights and long hours he does not see them often. So he enjoyed it. Grandma had fun playing with the kids in the wheelbarrow the kids think that is pretty fun! And Kaden had fun with Grandma and Grandpa all day he got some alone time with them and went for a tractor ride on the BIG tractor down to the woods and then my parents bought a sprinkler and a pool for the kids to play with! They loved it! So a good fun weekend. Now today Bills mom is coming home so we will go visit her for the afternoon after Kaden has a nap. SO take care and good night!

scrapbooking

Today I am going to appleton to visit my sister and scrapbook at her church they have open scrapbooking from 9-3 so I am excited about that I am sooooo far behind on Kaden's scrapbook so hopefully I can get caught up! Kaden is going by grandma and grandpa Zastrow for the day! He has soo much fun over there riding on tractors and playing in the water and just helping out where needed! :) My parents enjoy watching him also they get such a kick out of the crazy things he does. So Bill is working most of the day so that is the reason Kaden is spending time by my parents. Sunday we are going up by Bills parents his mom is coming home for the day last Sunday she did not. So that will be our weekend busy which is nice sometimes. Have a great weekend. Bye for now
