Vacation

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post! We went to KY for Marilou's wedding and had a good time. Johnny took the week off, so it was kind of "vacation." We went to the Newport Aquarium one day. Corban liked it a lot, Caden could have cared less I think - glad we didn't have to pay for him! We had dinner at Larry and Lynn's with them and Sherry, Patrick, Carter, Max, and Kerry. Max is as cute as all his pictures - sad to say I didn't get a single one for myself - my camera was dead during most of our trip. We went to Flemingsburg to visit some friends from the church Johnny preached at there. We hadn't been back since we moved here (4 years ago yesterday!). The rest of the time we played in the creek at Mom and Dad's and at the strawberry patches and did lots of eating. I always get my Leono's fix while I'm in and Johnny always has to go to the mexican restaurant b/c we don't have any authentic mexican places here. I also worked hard to have my fill of strawberries - I think I ate shortcake about 8 times and rhubard dessert a few times as well! The boys were both so good on the trip, we were so proud of them!

We got stuck in traffic on the way to KY. It was about noon and we were debating when to stop for lunch when the traffic slowed down and stopped. After a few minutes we turned off the car and a few minutes later we got out. We ended up being there for over two hours! There had been a double fatality accident, so those understandbly take a long time to clear. We just walked up and down the interstate for 2 hours visiting and trying to keep the kids occupied. They were covered with road dust and hot and cranky the entire time, but did really well considering.

We had a hectic weekend when we got back with all of the stuff that had to get done around here for Sunday. Yesterday we got our vegetables planted and took the boys fishing in the afternoon. When we got back to the truck afterward we were talking about what to do for dinner and Corban said he wanted a hamburger. We asked him if he wanted chickie instead and he said, "No, I want a hambur... do you have chickie in this truck?" It was so funny how he switched mid sentence wondering if we had chickie in this truck! We were also watching the He-Man and She-Ra movie the other night and he was wanting to "get" the bad guys. He turned around and saw his wooden pop-gun and said, "Oh, that'll help!" Oh, these kids are the best! It's killing me seeing him not be my little baby anymore, but I'm loving watching him grow up and be able to put his shoes on himself and all the other things that "big boys" do! Well, Caden is getting really fussy - not a fun stage for him! I'm going to try to put the few pics I have up soon!
