Are you Kidding Me!

Since I have gotten facebook I have totally neglected my blogg...Maybe, just maybe I can get back to it by Halloween 2010 and I trick everyone into thinking a year hasn't passed by! Ya think???? Facebook is so much easier with picture uploads and stuff. Everytime I try to post a picture on the blogg it is always out of order :-) I know that is because of me but FB seems to understand by backward mind...lol

Until October, see ya on facebook! <3

A few more Halloween Decoration pictures

Random pictures around the house

Spooky Halloween Coming!!!

Shelby did such a great job decorating the front
yard to scare our little trick or treaters this year.
He wants to make sure when Racheal, Crystal and
Kristin come over with the kids......that they are
really scared!!!!


He took all the masks from years past and hung
them all over the tree.


I love this spooky cat.

You better watch out.....it may just be a trick

this year instead of a treat :-)

Boooo!

New York State Fair 2009

Sunny's Bestest of Friends from Georgia came
to visit him after his knee surgery ~ so what
better thing to do than to take them to the New
York State Fair. As usual, the pictures are posted
in reverse :-)



This is Shane Lusk (Sunny's new trainer), his friend Will
is in the back ground. The boys always goofing
around.

Shane, Will, Kenny, Sharlie, Cassie and Shelby
went on a couple rides. Shelby was scared to death
of this ride last year so it has been a year long joke
to see if he has grown up a bit over the past year to
do the ride again. Yeaaaah, he made it but he said
it still was a very scary ride. He thought he was going
to pop out of the ride and of course the older ones
tried to make him think it truly was going to happen...
They always love to pick on the little ones...lol

Finally, ride over....Shelby you did it!!!!

Sunny and his mechanic Brandon. It was a fun

filled day.

Did we win playing some games? Awwww

how sweet boys!

What is the fair without a couple tattoos

Now all Shane needs is a girl to give the rose

too!

Sunny's first tattoo! At least it can wash off :-)

The weather was perfect ~ not to hot and not

to cold.

Shelby was the first one in on the act....although

I am posting in reverse....Day light to night time

hahaha

And boy did we eat, and eat, and eat.....Gotta

love that food!!!

Brittany's little sister Val.....What a cutie!!!

I never did get Skyler in Brittany in a picture ~

what is wrong with me? We finally all split up and

went our own ways.....Hard keeping track of that

many of us.

Sunny's been a fishing fool

I do not like fish but the boys love to catch them
and then eat them. Sunny loves to fish, hunt and golf.



Not a bad catch.

And of course instead of using good knives to
cut up the fish he used a steak knife.

I think Kenny caught one of these fish too but

I am not sure.

Scott and I came home to the boys eating fish

that they cooked on the grill. They said it was

amazing. Yuck!

After surgery pictures - not for the squimish

Okay, whats a mom to do? I hate that he has
to go through this. Considering all that was done,
I guess you can say that it looks really good. He
had a drain this time that I had to pull out the following
day so the swelling is hardly anything like the first time.



The doctor called Sunny the next day to apologize
to him because the cut was half the size they told
him it would be. You know guys, they want the biggest
nastiest looking scare possible ???? What is wrong with
them :-( They were able to repair all his own parts and
not have to use any donor parts....way better but only
half the scar if they can fix your own. GUYS!!!



Now the therapy begins three times a week. This
is taking its toll on me. I use to be able to handle this
surgery stuff pretty good but in December I passed out
and this time I puked when I had to empty the drain.
I just got done eating a egg salad sandwich when Sunny said
the drain was full and of course when I went to do it (the nurses
said it is sooo easy) and it was, except they failed to warn me about
the possibility of it flying all over the place due to the vaccum seal
when we opened the plug!!!! I still think it was because of
the heavy egg salad on my stomach.....I really cannot handle
this stuff anymore. I am getting to old...haha

So we had a wheel chair for the week because Sunny did not want
to miss the New York State Fair. Can you believe him! Ohhhh to be
young again.

Sunny's surgey day........

Oh no, not this again....didn't we just do this in
December?



Walking into the Harrison Center at 6 a.m. to
have the ACL done on the right knee now.




Dad and Sunny just before they get him all doopy!




We both really hate this as any parent would. Never
like your child being put under.




I love you Sunny Bunny Boo Bear.....have good
dreams




This kid has a stomach of iron. He always wakes
up hundry and is upset when he gets ice chips
and toast!



Emily Trust was nice to stop by the hospital
to make sure Sunny was doing okay. He was
all doopy and had every one in stitches. I am sure
he does not remember any of this.



This is not a good time now. Some one give me
a shot of something.....anything!



trying to get alittle rest before they release me.
That bathroom break really did me in.



Well, they did the ACL, PCL, MCL, trimmed both
sides of the minicus and shaved the femur bone
down being my knee was up into the bone. No wonder
it hurt for so long.



Just leave me alone....I wanna sleep



Okay, I guess who ever made this same day surgery,
never had one done before. Thank you doctor for
ordering a nerve block in my groin before I left because
even with all that was repaired, it felt much better this time
than just the right ACL alone.

I am whole again!!!! Yeahhhhhh, lots of therapy ahead.

They love their cousin Shelby......

Out on the boat trying to keep Riliegh warm.



Oh baby it is cold in the back of the boat when
you are little!




Is it my turn yet? I want on the tube....




Okay, maybe not my turn yet? I wanna ride!





aaaaha, I won Landyn!!!!






Are fighting to the death??? What game is this?




Wack, I gotcha....commin get up and fight like
a man.



Oh no he is getting up...I think I am in trouble
now......lol




It is time to Tango Shelby. :-)



Tyler loving the Turtle rides that Shelby gives
him.



Hold on Tyler, I am going under!!!



I need air.....I am coming up



Finally, a breath of fresh air....this turtle stuff
is hard! :-)


aaaaah, I don't think so Skyler. I think you are
missing a part to that get up. Me thinkies you are
gonna get a headache with that get up!!!
