I never thought I would see the day!
I told you I would not be very good at keeping this updated! Just for the record we all have been sick and are just now recovering!
Ok, those of you who have known Dan & I for more than 3 years, would have never, ever (in a million years) thought they would have seen this day! Frankly, I never thought that I would see this day and I have been married to him for 13 years. He truly is a changed man...for better or for worse you will have to decide. I think it is all for the better, of course! Dan is in love with his black & white fury friend (Eco) that has horrible breath and drinks out of the toilet! (It's no wonder why he has bad breath...the dog that is! JK) Yeah, I know, CRAZY! Not only does the dog get to be indoors but Dan will let him sit in his lap while he is on his leather recliner! He also takes him to work with him almost everyday, which means that he rides in Dan's relatively new truck. Just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Happy First Day of Spring!

Shave and a Hair Cut
Okay, okay I resisted doing this for a long time but I have given in. I can not promise it will be funny and amusing like Alex's or that it will be creative like Cathy's or that it will be kept up like Dad's but, I will give it my best shot.
So, I am home for the 4th day with all 3 of my kids sick with the flu. Fevers, sick tummies, coughing, body aches, vomiting, loads of wash, dispensing medicine and lots of cuddling and watching copious amounts of Sponge Bob Square Pants has been my agenda for the past several days with no end in sight. I have not slept for 3 nights, when I do finally drift off to sleep I hear in my head "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!...." and I am in the middle of trying to paint the house. Just another day in the life of Kristy.
Anyway, I thought I would share the latest funny story about our little wild red head, a.k.a. Zeke with you. Last Sunday, after returning from yet another fulfilling day at church, as we always do, we sent out kids to change out of their church clothes while Dan takes care of the dogs (yes, we have 2) and I went to start dinner. Usually after about 5 minutes we expect to hear some arguing coming from our kids but today we heard something very different. We heard Zac and Toni laughing hysterically saying "Mom, come look what Zeke did!" Ok, this is never a good sign. Dan and I took quick bets as to what we were going to find and headed down the stairs. We surveyed the situation and quickly realized what they were laughing at. Zeke had found Dan's beard trimmer and shaved 2 runway strips down the middle of his head! Trying our hardest to hold back our laughter, we asked him why he had done this. He replied simply, "I want to be bald like my dad." I tried several different methods of cutting his hair in hopes of keeping him from looking like he just went through a round of chemo-therapy. But, in the end, holding back my tears, I shaved his head completely bald. Zeke took one look into the mirror and smiled. He said "Now I am bald like my Dad! When I get bigger I am going to jump out of an airplane with him!" AIRBORNE, ZEKE! You truly are our wild red head! I have no doubt in my mind that one day you will be jumping out of an airplane!
Who would doubt what this kid is going to do?
