Camping on the Tramp!

My kiddos and I sleeping under the stars
I think they were a little overly excited to be sleeping outside. They have been begging and begging. I finally agreed, and obviously they couldn't control themselves.

I guess the truth was going to come out sooner or later that Madi and I are warewolves. This is Madi howling at the moon. My transformation was just beginning!

They were trapped inside the net around the trampoline. Maybe I should have left them there and ran for my warm bed inside!

We had so much fun sleeping on the trampoline. It was a beautiful night. It took them a while to settle down, because they were so excited. We had a good laugh at the pictures I was trying to take. It is hard holding the camera backwards and taking your own picture. I thought they would be scared of the dark, but they loved it. They even had me turn off the back light, so they could see the stars better. We sang songs (sorry neighbors) and laughed. Zach kept trying to convince us that he could see the l]Little Dipper. We just congratulated him. I can't even see the Little Dipper. We kept sliding down to the bottom, because the grass is slightly sloped. We were a big cuddly mess on top of eachother. Finally, Madison said, "I am so tired that I can't keep my eyes open." We fell asleep and then at 5:30 am on came the sprinklers! I swear I checked the timer to make sure they were off. I guess I didn't do that great of a job. It took us a minute to get out, because we had to zip open the enclosure, grab our pillows and run. We all jumped into my warm bed. In a way, I am thankful for those sprinklers. I actually got about 3 hours of sleep being in my own bed. It was a lot of fun, but let's just say that I will do my best to put off sleeping out there for a good while!

For the Love

For those of you who think I am the cutest thing ever, I hate to ruin that vision you have of me! Erin, you told me to put this on my blog, so I did. I hope I don't regret this. Most of you are aware of my seizures, so I thought you would all get a little kick out of this picture.

They are only wires for an EEG. My doctor is hoping that I will have a seizure while I am hooked up to the monitor, so she can record my crazy brain activity and hopefully understand my seizures a little better. They used SUPERGLUE on my head and forehead to hook up all of the little leads. Who does that? They did that, because these wires have to stay on my head for 3 days. They don't want them to fall off. I would stay away if I were you, because I cannot shower for 3 days either, unless I want to get electricuted.

It truly is no big deal. I just look a little strange. I am doing so much better since I have been on my newest seizure medication. Let's hope my luck lasts. If I happen to have a seizure in the next couple of days, it is only because my mean doctor instructed me to not take my meds for a few days in hopes that I will have a seizure while hooked up to this ridiculous thing. I will be okay. I always am, thanks to all of you!! Hope you got a good laugh. Don't come to my door, because I will not answer it :) Love you all!

Happy Father's Day, Dad (Papa)

Celebrating Father's day for me is quite easy, because I have such a great dad. He puts everyone other than himself first, always makes us laugh, and is simply always there for us. Thanks for everything, Dad (Papa).

My parents took Madi, Zach, and I to Gateway to play in the water. I don't know what I would do without them.
Zach kept trying to push Papa in the fountain! He almost did.
Of course they had to have their hair done too. I think it accentuates his mohawk quite nicely, don't you?

Many Accomplishments

Madison and Zachary have done so many fun things this year. Zach is our little preschool graduate and headed off to kindergarten. He learned so many fun things. He even mastered karate there. I can't believe they will both be at the same school this year! The one picture of him shows one of his favorite things to do...jump on the trampoline in the rain. Crazy kid.

Madison is our little dancer. She did such a great job at her recital. It is so fun to see the big smiles on their faces when they know they have done such an awesome job. We are so proud of them. Way to go, Madison and Zachary. We love you.
