A day at the playground.

-


It was such a gorgeous day today, too nice to be inside, so I took Brody to the playground in the park near here. He loved it and had to try everything that was there. The climbing, the swinging the sliding, he loved it all…and so did I! It was so fun watching him and that smile of his makes it all worth while. They grow up so fast so I need to savor every little morsel. I don’t know why one of the pictures in the slide show says it was deleted, it certainly wasn’t inappropriate so who knows. I went back and looked and tried to fix it but it didn’t work. Oh well, don’t sweat the small stuff huh.
The weather sure is a changing around here. It’s already getting down in the lower 40’s at night. I hope this doesn’t mean winter will come fast and furious. At my age fast and furious is a bad thing. At my age we want and need things to slow down and kind of meander a bit don’t you think lol. All I know is I am NOT ready for winter. Fall on the other hand is welcome to get here and stay as long as it wants.
Know what I would love to do? I’d love to go sky diving. My kids think I’m nuts but I would love to do that just once in my life. It has to be the most exhilarating feeling to float through the air and just fly. They all told me I couldn’t of course. Our son Jesse has already done that. Well, not sky diving, he went parachuting but that’ s kind of close right? His didn’t turn out so well though. He landed wrong and sprained his ankle really bad and ended up missing a week of work. Turned out to be costly but he’ll always have that experience and memory. Of course I didn’t want him doing that either so I guess turn about is fair play. I posted about this on facebook and everyone there thought I was nuts too lol. I will probably never ever do it, it’s a lot of money for something so silly….maybe. lol If I ever do it you all will be the first to know Smile

    Brody is adorable!!! I love the slide show.

    No thoughts in my mind of wanting to sky dive. Just the thought frightens me. Please listen to your son on this.

    I would love to go sky diving with you. I wanted to do that since 14. You do what you want and don't listen to others. That's my say. You have to live your way.
    Brody is so dang cute and that smile! It sure is wonderful weather right now and sleeping is sound when it's cool. Have a great week and enjoy!

    I share you feelings about a furious winter...I totally am not wanting that. I had a friend that was into parachuting who actually died tragically when a chute failed...that is not a way I'd like to go. I think I'd rather spend some time at the park!

    I think your nuts too, lol. But then you know that. I don't even like airplanes, as you know, and jumping out of a perfectly good one in crazy.

    About sky diving: If you are fit enough with healthy heart though it should be fun for you?
    But few our blogging friends are not happy about that idea?
    This a totally your decision:-)

Another rainy and disappointing day. Is it too much to ask to have 2 or 3 or so days of sunshine and decent temps in a row? I really am not complaining though as that would take a lot of nerve when you think about what has been going on in other states. So many storms and tornados this year and we’ve already broken the record for the month of April. Needless to say Spring has be a huge bust for the whole country from the sounds of it. It has to get better…doesn’t it? I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Ours was delightful! All of the kids and grandkids were home and nothing is better then that. Brody was a happy little boy. The Easter Bunny brought him a Trike! He jumped right on it and put his feet on the peddles right away but hasn’t figured out you have to push to get it going. If the weather ever turns decent we’ll get him outside and show him how to do it. When and if that happens I’ll be sure to post pictures. I bought myself a gift for Easter. Well, not just for myself I gues...

I would hurt myself if I tried that. He’s such a funny kid and ya gotta love him.  He’s finally getting the potty training down pat. Well, for the most part that is. he still won’t go #2 on the potty  We’ve caught him a couple of times but mostly he’ll hold it and tell us to put a diaper on him.  I don’t know what it will take to get him to do that.  We’ll keep plugging along, he’ll get it someday. Terry and I met Cindy and Ursula for lunch at the Red Robin Tuesday.  It’s always a good day and lots of fun and I really enjoy doing that. I wish more of us could meet somewhere for lunch and talk face to face. Wouldn’t that be nice?  When (not if) I win the lottery I will come to each of your homes and take you to lunch. How’s that for a plan " I had to take my sons gf to Madison yesterday to get the results of her angiogram. They wanted to see just where her aneurysm is so they know the best way to remove it.  We where hoping that they could go...

William is scheduled to have the catheter ablation on the 9th, 2 days after his 19th birthday. They are going to do another sonogram on his legs first to make sure there is no scar tissue on the veins that they need to use, if there is they have to find another way to do it. I’m going to go with them of course. I just couldn’t stay home and wonder all day what’s going on. If all goes well (and it will) he’ll go in in the morning and go home late afternoon. He seems to be fine with it and says he’s not nervous but the day of he might be. I know I would be and he doesn’t remember anything from his other surgeries. Last week he had an echo-cardiogram and other tests done to see how his heart is doing from his past surgeries etc. and they said that all looks really good. I’m sure grateful for that. Even though I know he’ll be fine I’m still nervous and anxious and will be happy when it’s all over and he’s back home. Brody has been keeping me busy. He sure is a curious tyke. He likes to ge...
