country music loves.

so i don't have any fun pictures or anything...

just an overhaul of my music...

some music for the country music lover...

we had the joy of taking friends of ours, scott, ang, and addalie stoltzfus, to

the "king cabin" last weekend, from sat. thru tues. nothing exciting up

there...some old snow we got to play in, games, books, good chatter

and of course good food. i think i got my camera out once...really...

i don't know what in the world i was thinking...obviously, i was just

enjoying the company and the quiet. our kids got along so well...we are sorry

to say addalie took a tumble into the woodstove, and got a yuck-o burn on her

back...it didn't seem to bother her there, but now is becoming a little more

tricky to deal with...so we pray for a speedy recovery. she is really a

trooper.

we are thankful for matt, scott, and kaden's return to the cabin

after a "short" afternoon drive, which turned into hours and hours.

i guess matt felt the need to try a new way into the cabin...up a mountain

road that had not been winterized, (and later we found out was closed to

vehicles, only open to snowmobiles...for a reason) i think they all thought they

were going to die...matt even told kaden to put his seatbelt on...HE NEVER
ENCOURAGES SEATBELTS...EVER...poor little guy was scared to

pieces...4 wheel drive doesn't even work all the time. :) we love you

guys and are glad you returned safe and sound...

so...we always treasure our time away at the king cabin...more now then

ever before...because it's harder to get away with the chickens, etc.

thanks to uncle mark and kendall for watching the birds! and to scott

and ang, and little addalie, we had so much fun. we treasure

our friendship and were so glad we had some time alone to get the world's

problems figured out...well...and ours too...smiles...

i was finally caught up on laundry...and calli got sick on wed...

kaycee woke up this morning, Sat., and is throwing up...agghhh....

as if that's not bad enough...campbell just threw up EVERYWHERE...but

the bucket...aghhhhhh...more laundry. smiles...

p.s. it's now sat. afternoon, and kaden is also throwing up.

what a mess...running between 3 children throwing up, cleaning up

when they "missed" the bucket or toilet, and keeping

the washer loaded and on, all while keeping my

healthy baby out of all the yuck buckets. i don't think i need to

squeeze my exercise in today...i really cannot imagine dealing with

an unhealthy child...it breaks my heart...this is nothing compared

with what some mommies deal with everyday... still smiles...not as

big, but there is one here hidden somewhere...
