Sleepy Girl...

This was a picture of the first time ever, Maysa has fallen asleep in her high chair. She is quite the trooper when it comes to long days with no naps...(we can't always fit them in on weekends) she keeps goin' and goin'. On this day she was was just 100% exhausted...gotta love it!

My poor Maysa...

Last week Devin, Maysa and I were sitting on the couch and Maysa was standing up on the couch as usual (she has no fear!) While she was standing the couch she lost her footing and fell backwards off the arm and landed straight on her face hitting ceramic tile. We rushed to the medical clinic and thankfully were able to come home after visiting the Dr. She has a concussion, two black eyes, a huge raised bump on her forehead, cut nose and she is swollen everywhere on her face. She has to follow up with her regular pediatrician and a nose specialist to make sure her nose heals as it should, but right now there is to much swelling to determine the damage. Maysa has been such a trooper and tough girl. She has to be watched so carefully to make sure she doesn't bump her forehead again. I think I have slowly recovered from my panic attack/heart attack since last week LOL>I'm so thankful it wasn't any worse!

What a Great 4th!

We spent Friday evening in the rain (did I say it rained...I mean poured) at The Meadows Race Track and Casino waiting for fireworks. The boys played football in the rain and us grown-ups and Maysa hung out under the canopy tent and back of the car hatches. It was loads of fun even though it was raining. Maysa LOVED the fireworks display and wasn't frightened at all. We spent Saturday at Aunt Sherry's house for a cookout (It rained on the 4th too). Thankfully the rain let up by early evening just in time for us to let off fireworks. The kids played so much they were totally exhausted when we got home. Hope everyone had a great 4th!

Races and Rabbits

We were excited to find 7 baby bunnies in our sandbox this week. Because we have two dogs we usually never get an opportunity to see rabbits in our yard. They were the cutest things ever and left their nest yesterday. We were able to watch them leave one by one, and Maysa just adored them. She keeps going to the sand box and asking "where are the baby bunnies?"



Devin ran in the Hy-Vee Triathlon on Saturday, and did a wonderful job. It was so hot and he was exhausted by the time he reached the finish line. He won a new bike so I think that helped ease the exhaustion. I'm so proud of him for doing a great job!
