The home run king

Just a quick post to say how proud I am of Haiden. He hit 2, two, dos, double, ni, etc. yes *2* home runs tonight in baseball. I loved seeing the opposing teams coaches telling the outfield kids to back up - wahoo!!! GO HAIDEN!

Goodbye little friend.

Today has been a sad day for our family. Our dog Hines got hit by a car and was killed. We are all heartbroken. He was a funny little dog and even though we complained about him we all loved him very much. It was fun watching him look through the window at us, having him jump 12,000 times trying to get our attention. Bouncing a golf ball down the stairs and excitedly chasing after it.

Even when I wasn't nice to him he was always very sweet to me. Darrin expressed perfectly what I am feeling. He was a special dog, not the most obedient, not the best behaved, but he was happy. We didn't pay enough attention to him and I am very sad about that - as always after something like this happens you wish like crazy it would have been different.

The kids would fight over who got to sleep with him in his room and I know they are going to miss that. He was very patient with my kids and let Raegan put doll clothes on him all the time. We will all miss him very much.

Easter Fun

We went to the "Easter Cabin" on Friday and Saturday. We always have lots of fun riding 4 wheelers, coloring eggs, finding eggs, smashing the pinata etc. etc. etc. This is a fun tradition from Darrin's family that I hope we can carry on.

Happy Birthday Raegan!

I can't believe Rae is 6! Where does time go? She is getting to be such a big girl. She has a really sweet heart and is always worried if someone is sad or hurt. She has been through a lot for only being 6 but I think it will make her into a very strong woman. We love you RAEGAN!

Guess where I have been?!?!

Yep, at the hospital with the missy. She decided to get a fever - being as she had only been off treatment for a week PCMC decided they wanted to see her - so on Monday night we went to the ER there. Her ANC (infection fighters) was only 100 so we got to stay. They decided this morning to let us go home even though her ANC is still 100 and she is still getting fevers. I can't tell you how happy I am to be home!! We get to go back up to the clinic tomorrow for another dose of antibiotics but I will do that 10 times without complaint if it means I get to stay home :)

hehe - we thought we were done but Rae decided she wanted one last hurrah I guess!
