Nothing Out of the Ordinary....

Hello All!

Hope this blog entry finds you healthy and enjoying the last bit of the weekend! We had a wonderful weekend...aside from Rob getting a sinus infection.

Saturday Rob & I decided to have a "special" day for both Matthew & Jacob. On most Saturdays, Rob takes Matthew along to the farm to check cows, do some farm work, etc. etc. Jacob gets to stay with Mom since he is just a bit too young (although Rob takes him a bunch already!) to stay all day. This Saturday, however, we reversed the usual and Matthew got to stay with Mommy while Jacob went with Daddy. It was an awesome day! Matthew and I started the day by going to Stamps & Scrapbooks in Jackson for their garage sale (found a few bargains by the way!). We then headed to Wal-mart to pick up Rob's prescription...Matthew picked out a special Spiderman plug-n-play game, and we picked a fishing game for Jacob. It was then time for lunch...Matthew & I enjoyed lunch at O'Charley's (kids eat FREE...yeah!!) and then headed to Scraps-n-More for the final day of being open. After that, we went to the movies and saw "Eight Below"...what a great movie...if you have a chance you should go see it! Matthew enjoyed a slushy while I just took a few sips of his every now and then! We came home...just as we arrived, Jacob & Daddy pulled up! Jacob had an awesome day with Daddy...just the two of them. He was so tired! We finished up the day with Rob fixing Hamburger Helper (it tastes AWESOME when someone else fixes it!!)

Not much else going on. My Mom called and said that she had heard from Lauren...my brother Sam is in England right now and doing fine. That's always good to know!

Today after church Matthew & I went to Barnes-n-Noble while Jacob & Daddy napped! Matthew LOVES going to the bookstore and that makes me VERY HAPPY...I have a new buddy to go with! Rob's not much on going to the store and just looking around! Matthew and I were there for almost 2 hours...had to cut it short to make it to AWANA at church this evening.

I would LOVE to know who is reading my blog...drop me a quick comment or email sometime this week and let me know who you are!!

I hope you all have an awesome week...take time out sometime this week and do something for yourself!

Love,
Becky

Hi Everyone,

For those of you that did not know, we lost one of our beloved cats this past week. Our sweet Chipper, our greyish/black tabby, was diagnosed with kidney disease and severe kidney failure. He had to be put to sleep on Wednesday morning...it was so, so difficult to do but I've come to the realization that it was the best thing for our sweet cat. We buried him out at our farm. It has been a very rough week for us, especially for myself...we had him for 8 years and he was such a big part of our family. I'm thankful that we still have Oliver...he's been getting so much attention these past few days!

We enrolled Matthew in kindergarten 2 weeks ago at Orchard Elementary here in Jackson. Yes, our little Matthew will be in kindergarten next year! He received his last shot on Tuesday of this past week...it was a horendous ordeal. I'm thankful that it is over!

Jacob is doing great...his sentences are becoming very long and he gets frustrated when we don't quite get what he is saying.

Tonight Matthew went to bed in Jacob's crib...they are such good buddies (when they're not fighting!)

Hope you all have a fantastic week. I'm looking forward to getting back to Bible Study this week, playing Bunco on Tuesday night, and hopefully setting aside some time to scrapbook!

Love,
Becky
