LEAVE IT TO JACOB!!!

I tell you it is hard to let this child out fo the house. We went to the eye doctor today for the boys. Jacob had to have some drops in his eyes to take the pressure test. The dr. after tells Jacob try to get all the yellow stuff out of your eyes before you put in your contacts, your eyes are already watering so it shouldn't be to hard. Then Jacob asks for another tissue because his nose is running now, so he blows it and notices the yellow stuff is comignout of his nose. So the Dr. explains that your eyes drain down your nose and into you throat. [So here we go] Jacob says so If I spit right now I will start spitting the yellow stuff out of my mouth too?? Can I just crawl under the chair at this point!! You just have to love this child!!!

The Dr. told him to go to spencers and go under the black light so he can see his eyes glow!! We went to eat instead!! I could just hear what he would had saud if we let him really do it!!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! We had a nice quiet one. I think I am getting more used to being away from family!! It is still hard but we are making our own traditions. So we went around the table and said what we were thankful for. Although we know we are thankful for our family so that couldn't be on that was said!! ( Gee I hope they are thankful for the family I do have 3 teenagers!!)

Jacob started us off 1. Good grades ( because his 2 older siblings are in trouble for bad grades) He says I am thankful to not be in trouble. 2. He was thankful for technology.

Benjamin says. 1. I am thankful for living. 2. He loves that he has his licence ( and that he got it back , since he had it taken away for about 1 month!! No more riding the bus!!! YEE HAA) 3. Oh and for a dad that helped him fix his car after his little adventure and saved him $2400. (I guess no thanks for mom on this one huh???)

Kelsi this one cracked me up, first I must tell you that when she was little going to Payless shoes was like going to Toys R Us for any other child. She could spend hours there. so #1. I am thankful for shoes!!!! 2. She was thankful for all of her friends. 3. For my sister and all her help. ( I was feeling love in my family!!!)

Jessica as she had a cold. Her #1.I am thankful for medication!! 2. water. She loves to drink water. 3. Her talent in cooking ( I think I am more thankful for that than she is )

Richard well we all know Richard has to be funny so his #1 I am thankful for teenagers the next step is adulthood and out of my house!! ( I cry , he parties) 2. for the opportunities that have come to my life such as my wonderful wife living across the street from me all her life. ( I am not sure where he was going with this one )

Debbie 1. I am thankful for the day after Thanksgiving shopping. I love to shop the day after specially when it is raining out side. I love the smell of the street with rain on it. ( oh it didn't rain) 2. I was thankful for a husband that was letting me go shopping the next day ( you all know where I was going with that one. I was working on a higher budget. I think it worked) 3. I am thankful to be skinnier. ( I was saying that as I was stuffing my face with Thanksgiving dinner!!! and it was good)

I hope you all enjoyed your day of Thanksgiving!! Oh and yes all my cards are out!! Yee Haaa!!

Back From Our Cruise!!

We are back from the cruise and we had a blast. Most of all We really enjoyed the rest. We have never sat around as much as we did on this trip. We layed out by the pool, Went down the waterslides, we shopped Alot ( A little to much Richard was having a blast at all the stores!!) Oh did I tell you I ate and ATE!! All of you know that makes me one happy camper. I have never tried bread pudding until my trip then I was hooked. Everyday at lunch!! After 17 Years I talked Richard into getting back into a Tux for formal night. I was able to slip into a dress that was in the single digits!! Yiks what a treat that was. I think after our 8 day cruise we were ready to go home and see the kids!! I think they were ready for us to come home!! Although Jessica made a comment that "Hey we did it on our own we can do this forever". Jacob had to remind her that the bills were paid, the shelves were stocked by mom and dad. It is nice to still be needed a little!!! Over all they did very well. Kelsi gave them a thumbs up. The only bad thing tht happened was Jessica's car broke down once but a church memeber was able to help her out. Not to bad huh!!
