High School Musical 3

Tonight we had a fun night! The girls have been wanting to see High School Musical 3 for a very long time and it finally came to the theaters last weekend, so we all went to see it tonight!! Another PM couple, Nate and Becca, went with us (it's the same couple who kept the girls for us when we went away for our anniversary). There were only 3 other people in the whole theather and the girls did very well. It was Riley's first theater experience and she did very well for the most part....there was some roaming and a bathroom break....but all in all they did really well!!!

After the movie we went to Nate and Becca's house for homemade pizza and visiting!!! The girls enjoyed watching their lizard eat crickets and playing on Nate's guitar!

Tomorrow we will be going to Wichita...Madisyn and Alexa both need new sneakers....

Spiders...blah

This spider was in one of our bathrooms today! We had another was just about the same size yesterday in the same bathroom!!!! I don't know where they are coming from, but they are huge and freaky!

another sick one!

Madisyn woke up yesterday morning with a sore throat, but no fever. I wasn't sure if it could be strep without a fever. We kept her home from school and she actually went to class with Dan. (she did very well by the way). After Dan's class was over she said she felt better and wanted to go to school. She still didn't have a fever so we thought it would be okay. When she got home from school she looked miserable and by then did have a fever.

The doctors office here is awesome and very close. I talked to the nurse in the morning about the possibility of strep and she wanted me to let her know how she was feeling after lunch. So I called her after Madisyn got home and she said if I could get there in the next 10 minutes before the lab closed she would to a strep test. so we did and she did and it was positive. At least we know now if Riley gets sick what it is and the dr will just call in the antibiotic...we won't even have to go in.

My new ring

I thought I would share the new wedding band my wonderful husband bought me!!!

Our weekend

Our anniversary was on Friday...Dan made arrangements for us to go away for a night. He even arranged for a PM couple to come here and stay with the girls for the night. We stayed the night at Clover Cliff Ranch Bed and Breakfast. It was a beautiful old ranch...it is in the Flint hills (not all of KS is completely flat). So we did some sight seeing Saturday, went to a wonderful steak house (supposed to be the best steak in KS) and went to see a movie. Sunday morning we had breakfast...there were several other couples there that we very friendly. Then the owner of the ranch gave us a tour of the ranch.

The cows kept following us. It was so funny!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!!

blah...sickness!

Well Alexa woke up this morning with a temp of 102.6...Poor girl felt miserable with a sore throat and a headache. I took her to the doctor this afternoon and she has strep throat. So she has to stay home from school tomorrow yet, but she can go back Monday.

On a brighter note....tomorrow is Dan and I's 10th anniversary!!! I'm in shock I can't believe it's been 10 years. So he (my wonderful husband, that is) went and made reservations at a bed and breakfast, arranged for a babysitter and even planned where we are going to eat for dinner! This is going to be Saturday night! I'm so excited! We haven't eaten at a restaurant let along gone on a date since we got here so I am thrilled!!! Yay!
