Missing you......

I miss you so much today Dad!

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again Another Day!

It's been raining most of the day, how fun! We have been super busy, or maybe just I have been. I took my Girl Scout troop to camporee in October, that was a lot of fun. Last week, I ran a table at the polls for Girl Scout recruitment, and then I had to keep Kaitlin up all night Wednesday night so she would sleep for a test on Thursday. Now let me tell you, that was FUN!

The kids got report cards, and had conferences. Chris did ok, he's been about average. Kaitlin did awesome, she missed honors by one grade, and that was mainly because she failed a test. She studied hard, but just didn't get it! Oh well!

Nicky is growing like a weed! He is just so BIG, and so full of energy!

I guess that's about it here, until next time!

I miss you so much, I can't believe this is your second birthday away from us, how time flies. I think of you everyday, and miss you so much. You will always be in my heart.

I love you,

Happy Birthday Mungus

Dear Nicky,

I just wanted to tell you how happy you have made me these last four years. I love you so much. I love the funny things you do, and how you make me smile everyday, I love your miss and hug every morning, and rubbing you back at bedtime. I love it when you cuddle with me for no reason, and I especially love how you miss and talk about your Papa. I know he misses you too, and I'm sure he will be with us tomorrow when you have your "Uncle Tom" party(Thomas the Tank Engine) I love when you are supposed to be sleeping but I find you in bed with your books cause you are reading, I love how you can do everything your self, but when you can't you say oh, just kiddin. I love your dimples, and your cute little bum, and I really love your curlies! I love everything about you!

Happy Birthday Little Man!

Love,

Mama

Bumps and Bruises!!!

Well, it has been a crazy few weeks here in the Rayner house. We have suffered all sorts of injuries, but the best two happened to Dada and Mama. Dada broke his ankle playing softball. He got a line drive right on the old ankle bone and broke it. The first two are the day he did it, and the next ones are about 5 days after!! Pretty huh??

I spent the past weekend at overnight camp training for girl scouts, and we got to try archery. Well archery is NOT my friend. Check out this bruise on my arm from trying it!

We make a good pair! The sucky part about it all is that Dave can't work his second job, which of course make things pretty tight around here!!!!

Aside from bruises, here is a cute picture Kaitlin took of Mama, Dada, and Nicky snuggling!

Nothing like snuggling on the couch! Until next time!

Girl Scout Camp!!

Kaitlin had a blast at camp. She went to Wizards in the Woods, Harry Potter of course! She got a little homesick after getting 2 ticks, but made it through the week! It was good to see her on Friday, however, the fighting has started up again!! It's almost as if she never went away for a week. Can't wait until Chris leaves in a couple of weeks!!

Not much else going on around here, except that I turned another year older! Kaitlin's birthday is tomorrow, she's turning 11! That's another post all on it's own! Until next time........

Reindeer, Wall climbing, Log flumes, and Vermont!

Log Flume ride at Santa's Village!
We went to Vermont, none of us except Dad have ever been!!

We had a blast camping, we went to Santa's Village and Clark's. The bear show was pretty cool. The kids had a lot of fun, Kaitlin met a boy at the campground swimming pool.....

We drove into Vermont, and had some maple sugar. Took a picture to prove it since we(the kids and I) have never been there!

As you can see they all loved the log flume ride, of course I didn't get on it! But they had fun and Dad got the most wet!

More to come.......
