A few things we've been doing!

I guess it's been a few weeks since I've done a post, so here's a bit of what we've been up to.
We finally made it down to Bruges, as usual it was well worth the wait!



Seriously we can't dig in fast enough.


A little closer shot of all that goodness!


We hit the state fair the day before it closed (not doing that again, way to many people). We will try for a better day next year.
It was a little weird for us this year to not have any photo's entered in the photography contest, there's always next year.

It's tradition to always go on the big yellow slide before heading home. As you can see, Tyler jumped off his mat after a his victory, he was ready for another win.


Pretending to be reporter's on TV, it was comedy.


Enjoying a really good treat. The older girls and I shared the world's best funnel cake.
We choose the vanilla frosting to top that baby off with, and wow, it was AMAZING!
Loving Tiff's face in this one!


Kendra and Tyler wanted ice cream, what were they thinking?


Mike just shared with everyone :)


Deidra had to have another endoscopy, or another words an upper GI. She was a trouper again, and this time we are getting some answer's.

We we asked to be there an hour and a half before the procedure started, so we were. Then we waited, and waited and waited. Our procedure time came and went before she even got her IV. Which she didn't mind a bit, she's not into the whole needle thing.

Playing on the IPOD.


Time for the IV.


Right before getting some oxygen and being knocked out.
(personally I hated watching that part, I really hope I don't have to watch any of my children being knocked out again any time soon)

After the procedure. She did a great job!


We are really liking this new Dr. that we found. We feel she is getting us answer's as to why Deidra keeps having problems.

The next step is some allergy testing. But with this upper GI she just had, it's looking more and more like she is allergic to milk products. Not good for a teen who likes ice cream.

She is such a trooper. She is ready to have a solution, and so are we. We hate to see her in pain.


We've also had to get Kendra fitted for a retainer, as her cute little mouth isn't big enough to hold adult teeth, so we need to stretch it out.

I have been super busy with both schools, I'm on multiple committee's and trying to keep everything straight is keeping me on my toes.

So far the kids are loving school and doing well.

All 3 girls are back in dance, so I'm running car pool for that Tuesday thru Friday, and trying to keep track of all that is a full time job in and of it's self. It would be easy if they all had 1 class each, but we prefer to have 7 classes between the 3 of them, cuz what else do we have to do right?

That's most of what we've been doing, i'm sure there is more but I can't remember everything :)
