Off to Camp for a week

Well here we go. Another week @ Church Camp. We are very excited. It is always a fun time for all of us. We have been packing for a week now. I hope I have it done. I will be going down to pick Kaylin up tonight. Very excited to see her. I've missed her. Well I will try to blog later. Have a great week.

She's at Camp

Today we took Kaylin to camp. She is having a GREAT time already. I will miss her so much. But it is a good time to spend with Jacob. This is a rare time. I had my week with Kaylin while he was at Boy Scout Camp and now it is his turn. It is always good to spend time with them one on one. Catch up on what he is up to and what he is wanting to do. I don't get to see them as much as I could before I was working. So I'm going to try harder to be there when the chance comes.
I am off to work tomorrow. I don't usually work on Monday's but this week we work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then off for another 12days. I will head to Church camp on Sunday. Can't wait. It is always fun.
Ok I'm too distracted to type any more. TTUL

Another Week Another Exciting Event

The week is done and what a week it was. It was a great week with our visit with Ashley. Lots to do. I tried to keep them busy. I hope she had fun. I know we did.

Work was good. Not much to report there. Which is really good.

On Monday, Jacob and I picked apples from our early harvest apple tree. We started right in on making homemade applesauce. It took all day but it was worth it. The girls helped out too.

Jacob has started Basketball practices again. He is having a blast. So glad he has found something he likes. Kaylin is still doing soccer. She is getting better all the time. Her first scrimage game is August 14th. We'll see if she gets to play. We are crossing our fingers.

Thursday evening the kids decided they wanted to go to see Batman Dark Knight @ midnight. So David said he would take them. ( I went to bed when they left) Before they could go the girls had to get ready for their first premier.

And of course they had to get Jake involved in their fun.

Ivana made it in on Friday evening. It was good to see her but it always is. Ashley was thrilled. We had a Funeral to go to today. It was sad, of course. Jack Cook passed away Wednesday evening. Ivana and Ashley helped out at the church with the food while we were at the Funeral. Then we went to visit Mom. We took lots of pictures at Dad's barn. It is a GREAT place to take them. Now it is time for Kaylin to go to Church camp tomorrow. I think she is excited. She has just been so busy all summer. I'm going to miss her but the week after we will be together along with Jacob at Camp. We always love that week. Well til next time. TATA Ladies and Gents!

It's all in a days work

I so love titling these. Today was back to work. It went pretty good. So good to have Jaime back. Just like she never left. It sure makes things easier.
After work I came home got ready and headed to the mall with Ashley and Jacob. Wow what a treat. Jacob HATES to shop and Ashley is so much fun. She loves to pick on Jacob. They are just like brother and sister. I love it. Kaylin went with her Grandpa Don and Jo for her birthday dinner.
We are all home but David, he is in Gassaway for work. He will be home on Thursday evening. Now it is time to relax for another fun filled day at work tomorrow. CUS

My Vacation Week

Today is July 14th, the last day of my vacation:( Tomorrow it is back to work. It should be a good day, Jaime will be back:) She left and moved to Wyoming and they (her and her husband) hated it so they moved back home. We are so happy to have her back. Work may be a little bit easier with her there.

My vacation was wonderful. I got to spend time with my kids. Mostly Kaylin. Jacob was at Boy Scout Camp. He spent a week there. He had a great time. He did however come home with a bruise on his cheek. I guess it happened when they were doing an exercise of some kind. Some kids elbow hit him. He also got clothes lined and the wind knocked out of him. Then they sent them to the woods at night and he had to build a shelter by himself. He did and they made it back to camp at 6:00am. They started at 3:00am to make it back to camp. He loves it.????

Kaylin and I spent most of the week with Ivana and Ashley. We went to their house on Tuesday the 8th. Spent a couple of days with them. Went to one of Ivana's softball games. She does a great job. She plays second base. No one gets by her bag. Ashley and Kaylin played with a baby the whole time that she played. It was a good time. On Thursday, July 10th we headed to Hershey Park. It was a beautiful day and not too hot. We all enjoyed it. Kaylin and I spent the last few minutes at the water park. Neither of us had swimsuits (which would have scared everyone if I had one on) but we went anyway and had a blast getting wet and getting other people wet. Then we did the traditional thing and got our Milkshake and bought alot of chocolate. Good Times. We came home on Kaylin's birthday. Ashley came with us. She will be spending a week with us. We love having her. Well it's back to work tomorrow. Yeah :(

On our way to PA

Good Morning,
We have another crazy day ahead of us. Yesterday I slept in and then got up and cleaned alittle before going and getting Kaylin from Sandy's. Then came home did some laundry and went to pick up Mollee and take her and Kaylin to practice. Then back home for some packing and more laundry. At 6:15pm I went to pick up Jacob from Boy Scout Camp. (He has a doctors appt. today) Then back home again to finish packing and more laundry.
Today we are up at 6:00am and getting our last minute items and getting them in the car. Jacob's appt. is at 8:45am today. Then we take him back to Boy Scout Camp and we are off to PA. We will be spending a few days with Ivana and Ashley. Hershey Park on Thursday!!!!!! I'll let you know how the milkshake and chocolate taste. :) Have a great day, I'll be back soon.

Sunday (Boy Scout Camp)

Hi to everyone today. Hope all is well. Today was another crazy day in the Carder House. We got up , made sure Jacob was all packed and headed to church. As soon as church was over we headed to Camp Mountaineer. Jacob will be spending a week (Sunday - Saturday) at Boy Scout Camp. He is very excited. The boy loves this stuff. As long as he is happy so am I. Kaylin went shopping and spent some birthday money. She loves to shop. (not sure where she gets that from). Then we went back to church this evening. Aunt Sandy wants to take Kaylin to see fireworks at the 4T Rodeo. So she is off again. I'm allowed to pick her up after 12:00pm tomorrow. I'm on vacation but I will be going into work for a few hours. That is called dedication. :) Now David and I are in front of the TV relaxing. Talk to you tomorrow.

The Day After

It is the day after the 4th, slept in late (enjoyed that ) then we washed the cars. It is very nice today. Actually Beautiful. :) We picked up Kaylin from her friends house that she spent the 4th with. We get her home and her grandma and husband come and pick her up to take her to dinner at the Olive Garden. Hopefully she will be home to be with her family one day. She is a very busy girl. Jacob is almost packed for Boy Scout Camp. He leaves on Sunday and will be back Saturday. He can't wait. David will be leaving Monday morning out of town again. That is all I have for now. Talk to you tomorrow. Kary

Happy 4th of July, 2008

Welcome to my first blog. I'm learning this from my sister and niece. So wish me luck. Today is a very rainy 4th of July. All plans cancelled and moved inside. So that means to me HURRY KIDS lets get this house clean. I worked all day yesterday on our deck for today and didn't on our house. But now it is clean and everyone is gone. It was a good day. My mother-in-law and step father-in-law, sister Sandy, nephew Jeremy were here today. David grilled out in the rain. After eating we watched "The Bucket List" , (what a sad movie but good). Now we are just hanging out. Not an interesting day so far. Hope everyone has a great 4th. bye for now.....
