few pictures
I think Kyler is feeling better. He did have an ear infection so we got some antibiotics. He had a temp yesterday afternoon but was fine all afternoon. Then last night about Midnight i felt him and he felt warm so I got him up and took some more Tylenol. He seems to be doing 100 this morning. He is home with dad today so hard to tell what will go on today?
I had a few pictures i thought i would upload.
The other day he pulled this piggy bank in the living room and was trying to set on it... he told me "mommy take my pictures... cheese!!"

Santa baby...
We had a big weekend. Friday I got off work at 1 for our Christmas party. It was a blast. We went to KC. We ate at Wild Bills at Legends then went to a comedy club. Then back to Wild Bills. They had a guy who was singing live... he was really good and easy on the eyes if you know what I mean!! Then Saturday morning we had to get up pretty early (8am!!) and head out because Sheldon had to work the basketball games in Maryville. We did hit IHOP before heading out of course!! A big thank you to Aunt Rachel for coming up and staying with Kyler for the evening!!
Then SANTA came to town Saturday night. Our babysitters husband(the kids call him uncle Chester) plays Santa each year. When Kyler seen him he gave him the stare down. He started talking to Kyler and Kyler just started looking around... he ask "where Chester at?" He recognized the voice but I don't think he understood it was coming from Santa. Shewww!!
Here is attempt one of getting close. Mommy had to set on Santa's lap... But Kyler was happy cause he got some candy!
Then we tried to set him on Santa's lap by himself... that didn't work out to well?

Florida Pictures
Here is a couple pictures of the killer whales at Sea World...
This is a sideways picture of our hotel in Orlando. It was really nice!! I really like it for the $45 a night we got it for on Priceline.com name your own price!!! Also you will see a water fall and a crashed plane. This was a nice little miniature gold place just outside. We didn't golf but liked checking out all there little alligators.. hope to post a picture of them later to.
Florida
Then this morning we went to Seaworld. That was pretty cool too. I have always been interested in seals, dolphins, and whales so I was very excited to see shamu. They were big but I had imagined them even bigger then that. We seen several shows and ate lunch... ouch. Why does stuff have to cost so dang much in paces like this? Pop was $2.99(not very big either) and it was cheaper then water. We also got to touch a dolphin. He came up by where we were standing and jumped up on the ledge and rolled over so we rubbed his belly.
We headed out from there to Tampa. It seems like a pretty quick drive with the out skirts of Orlando then the out skirts of Tampa. We are staying at the Hyatt and we are right by the ocean. We are on the 11th floor and have an awesome view. I can't wait to go check out the beach tomorrow.
I hope to get some pictures on here but I don't know if our connection is fast enough to download them till I get home? We will see.
We got out a while ago and found a target to get some snacks and bottled water...tired of spending enough to buy a 12 pack of water on one bottle!!
I have a terrible sun burn from today. Yesterday i didn't even get anything and was supper hot so I decided to wear a tank top today. Also have blisters so had they are bleeding. Not fun!
Well got some meetings tomorrow afternoon but free in the morning. Don't know what we will do though?
Talk to ya later.
PS...Kyler is having fun at Grandma and Grandpa's. Just called and check in with him earlier. They were shopping at Walmart... wonder how spoiled he will be when we get home???

Jack-O-Lantern
Its been a while but I got a video for you. We carved pumpkins the other night and Kyler had a good time. He was not real sure about all the pumpkin goo on his hands. I bet he said eww gross like 100 times. That is what he is saying in this very very short video. I made it really short so I could download it faster. Hope you like it.
So.. anyway... Sheldon and I are setting at KCI waiting!! They tell you to get here early but why?We are heading to sunny Florida. I can't wait for a little bit of warmer weather. I don't know what Kyler is going to think with us gone for so long? I know I will miss him!!
Well maybe you will get another post in the next few days since I will have the laptop with us!
Tata for now.

Well better get the munchkin calmed down so we can do bath and another breathing treatment... he does them pretty well if you can keep him set still that long!!
Good Night!

A few snap shots
Then Saturday morning I left the boys to fend for themselves and I headed to KC to do some shopping... more like looking. I seem to find shopping relaxing and fun. I can go to 10 stores and not buy a single thing... just look around. I got to go to some stores I don't usually get to go to because we don't have time. It was fun. I met up with my sister Rachel... i think she thinks I'm a crazy shopaholic!!! She went to a few stores with me then we decided to eat at Olive Garden... YUM-O!! Then she headed back home and I hit a few more stores and did the same. I stayed with in budget and got a few things I really actually needed so I consider it a successful trip.
Then Sunday Sheldon decided to cut e whole in the side of the garage and make it into a door to drive the golf cart into!!! That was fun. Sunday night Sheldon had a poker night planed but another friend of ours invited us over to there house for Pizza. There were several of us with the kidos it was fun. We called it our HAHA party!! What is a HAHA party you ask??? HAHA we don't have to work tomorrow!!!
Monday was just a lazy day around the house... well for me and Kyler. Daddy ran off golfing with his dad and some friend!! He had busy weekend i guess! Kyler and I hung out at home and cleaned house some.
Not much new with K. Oh well except for his sleeping?? Not sleeping but going to sleep. He started Friday night just screaming when I put him in bed. He had NEVER been like that. I always brag at how good he does going to sleep. But starting Friday if I rocked him he was ok... then when I stood up to put him in bed he would start kicking and screaming. I finally just had to let him cry himself to sleep....well I tried really hard to. I would let him cry 5-10 minutes then go check on him and get him calmed down some. Sheldon was not home Friday night so I finally just said come lay down by mommy. He had thrown such a fit I think he wore himself out because I laid him by me in bed and he never moved an inch and was out. Then one day for his name we started watching Alvin and the Chipmunks in our room and he feel asleep so i just left him there. Last night though and tonight I just let him cry it out. I think he will eventually learn that's not helping. I will keep you posted on that.
Ok... on to what you have been waiting for the Pictures! As I promised here are some pictures of him in his Froggy costume for Halloween. Then the last one is from the carousel in the Mall in St Joe.

Great Weekend
Saturday morning Sheldon had some Freshman Seminar stuff today at work... he teaching Freshman Seminar this semester if I have not mentioned that before. So Kyler and I decided to run to St Joe to do some quick shopping. I really wanted to get to Once Upon A Child to see if they have there Halloween costumes out yet. I got his costume there last year(turtle) and he wanted to be a frog this year so I figured they might have one... and they did!!! It is so cute. It was from Old Navy and is made out of fleece. It should be warm if it is cold out... which it usually is. He loved it!! I am still working on getting a picture of him in it. He was such a good boy all day shopping. I told him if he was good we would go to the store and ride the horsey!! St Joe mall has a carousel now and so we did. He was kind of scared at first but after he realized I was riding to he was ok... but then it got going really fast!! I was kind of scared!! He clung on to my arm for a while but ended up wanting to ride it again when it was done.
Yesterday evening we went to a friends house and had a little weeny roast. Perfect weather for that let me tell ya. The kids all had fun playing outside and on the swing set. It was very laid back and relaxing.
Today had been a day full of cleaning and cooking so far. Sheldon had to run up to his mom and dad's to help with some remodeling of there bathroom and he took Kyler with him. I got a lot of deep cleaning done but actually barley put a dent in what I need to get done around here! Why is it while I am cleaning I always think... this would be so much easier if I would just do a little each night or even a little each weekend... but no, I let it pile up until it take two weeks to get cough back up!!! Oh well... someday I will learn. I have Friday off this week and of course Monday... so I hope to get some more knocked out then. You know that dreaded scrubbing the toilet and shower, sweeping and moping, filing bills, and I really want to clean out some closets, cabinets,and dressers to.. WOW what a list huh?
Well Kyler is taking a nap now and Sheldon is doing more Freshman Seminar stuff so I have figured the check book and paid some bills.. now I need to change out the laundry and fold some clothes so I better get. Hope to post some pictures this week.... add that to my list of stuff to do!!!

Roastem'
Well that is about all of our evening. We had so much fun we are thinking about having a family camp out in the back yard this weekend. I don't know how well it will go. We will try the whole camping thing in the back yard first... close to home if you know what I mean. We may have to venture back inside to go to sleep. Not sure? But I know Kyler will love the tent... but will he sleep in it? That is the question?
SO I hope to get on here more often but we will see... ta ta and good night. Enjoy the pictures below.

pictres
Maybe that mean I need to update this more often??? So here are some pictures we took last month on a trip to campus to play at there play ground. We went over to the pond to check out the fish. They were out of fish food so we had to look for some worms.
Kyler has just been being his normal ornery self. My babysitter just text me that he peed on her bay window this morning!!! On the inside!!! Just pulled his pants down and peed! Little turd! I'm sure there are lots of other stories I could tell on him but I can't think of any others right now?
Well I am just on my lunch and got back a little early and thought I would put a post on here. So Better get back to work.

its been a while...
Kyler has had a pretty busy week and weekend. Last week we left Thursday night and headed to Kirksville for the weekend.... just Kyler and I. We spent the night at my Grandma and Grandpa's Thursday night, went and ate lunch at my other grandma's house Friday for lunch.
My sister, brother-n-law, and nephew were all up for the week from Louisiana also. So that was fun. We went to the big NEMO fair for a short time Friday afternoon. I was not sure what Kyler would think of the rides but we decided to try it. First he did not take a nap on Friday so he had just fell asleep in the car just before we got there. Then it was kind of chilly... can you believe that for JULY!!! So we walked around a while checking things out. He decided he wanted to try this one ride with little cars that just go in a circle. Well about twice around the circle and he was crying so they let him off... that was the end of the rides. So we walked through the barns and seen the animals... he loved that. Then as we were leaving there was a guy with this spider monkey dressed up in clothes. You give him a quarter and he puts it in his pocket. This was his favorite thing of the fair. He kept talking about the monkey all weekend.
We went back to the fair Saturday night for the demo derby. It was so packed that we couldn't really see it but my dad's wrecker service was hauling the broke down cars off the track so Kyler liked watching PaPa.
Then Sunday we went to Church with Grandma and Grandpa and had lunch at there house. Then on the road again. Kyler was so tired from his long weekend that he slept the entire way home.
He was a very good boy all weekend though and only had one accident while takign a nap on Saturday. I think that is pretty good for being in strange places all weekend. One night he didn't even pee in his pullup and waited till he got up to go potty. I am so proud of him with the whole potty training thing!!!

Summer fun...
He has been doing AWESOME on the potty. He only wears two diapers a day... nap time and bed time. He has an accasional accident and that is usually in the bathroom trying to get his pants down. I'm so proud of him. I feel a little guilty becuase I never really had to work on it... he just decided to do it all by himself one day and has ever since. Can't get better then that.
So here are a few pictures of this week. I hope to have more after the forth. If I don't get on here before then... HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!
He also loved the little wooden stick sparklers.

Summer fun
Tonight it was so hot we got a new sprinkler and tried it out. Kyler likes sprinkels so when I ask him if he wanted to get the sprinkler out he just kept saying sprinkles!! He liked it for a little bit but then was off to something else. Let me tell ya. Sprinkler and sand box's do no mix well!!!
