Happy Birthday Stewart Brough

Today is Stewart's birthday! Unfortunately, he is in Georgia so we didn't get to celebrate our traditional way of waking him up with chocolate milk and donuts. Well Eli and I still had chocolate milk and donuts and recorded a message for Stewart.

You probably don't want to watch this unless you are Stewart because it's cheesy...and I flash the camera a little. Eli was cute because he wanted to save the candle for Stewart to blow out when he gets home...he also wants to save a donut for him.


Sorry my hair is wet and ugly!

4th Of July Fun

We had a great 4th of July! The only thing missing was Stewart, who was having his own adventures. In the morning we went to the Murray parade and 5k race. I ran the race and it sucked bad. Eli also did the kids race and had a lot of fun!


After the race the kids watched the parade while I waited for my name to get called from the raffle drawing! I won a running outfit from The Running Store! it's the first time that I have won something from the Murray 5k raffle! Eli had a great time watching the parade and got a SHLOAD of candy!


I have so many more pictures that are cute but I'm going to limit myself! We also went to the Oakley Rodeo but I don't have the pictures of it yet so I will blog about it when I get the pics.

Moving is THE SUCK

We moved this weekend...ALL weekend. What I thought would be a few hours Saturday turned into ALL day Saturday and 1/2 of Sunday. It made me ornery and tired and hot. So now we have most of our earthly possessions in a storage unit and some of them at my mom's house. The very best plus about being at my mom's house is the central air AND we are in the basement and it's COLD down there! LOVE IT!

Leaving the apartment for the very, very last time made me smile and giggle and laugh. Stewart thought that I should flip the bird to the apartment on the way out but I didn't...it was Sunday after all.

This was a hard move because I had to think about what I didn't need for 6 months and what I didn't need for 2 months and then what I needed for 2 months and what I only needed for 4 months. I'm sure that I got it all wrong and when I get to Kentucky I'll realize what I should have done. Oh well I'll have Stewart and Eli and we will have an adventure and I won't be managing apartments anymore...I'll have my Kitchenaid too. :)

The Kind Of Mother I Am

I taught Eli how to burn ants today. Sometimes I do things and then later wonder what I was thinking.

Like the time I put 2 cantaloupe-sized bouncy balls up my shirt and asked Stewart if he wished I looked like that. Eli came out of his room in time to see me and hear Stewart say "that's disgusting." I did hurry and take them out when I saw Eli but it was too late!

Later that night Eli asked "is my teacher Krystal disgusting because she has big ones of those?" (As he points to my chest.)

Am I really enough of an adult to have a minor child under my care?

It IS What Fun Is!

Lagoon. You know it and love it. Come on you know you do. We went to Lagoon yesterday for my work party and had SO MUCH FUN! Eli and I went earlier in the day and Stewart met us after work. Eli was so awesome and had such a great time. He loved the Tidal Wave so much and kept his hands up the whole time. As soon as it was over he wanted to go again. He also did the Bat which was his first roller coaster ride...well not counting Puff.

I also won a $50.00 gift card to Home Depot so that was nice. We dropped Eli off at Stewart's sister, Laurie's house (that doesn't sound or look right punctuation-wise) so we could go back and do the "fun" rides I love Wicked and Spider so much and I want to damn the damn Jet Star to damnation for hurting my neck!

We had fun anyway and it was a nice distraction from the stress of moving and army training that we are feeling.

We went home happy and tired and can't wait for another Lagoon day!
