I made my debut the other day on KY3! I know you are all really jealous and wish you were in my shoes. Let me begin with the story because I know that everyone wants to know how I can possibly have ended up on KY3.
My friend Casey sent me a message on Sunday asking me if I wanted to "go move that bus" and see Ashley Tisdale. To be honest I was like what the heck is she talking about. After I figured out she was talking about the Extreme Home Makeover that was close, I was like sure. I have a ton of other things to do, but what the heck something different to do. So we decided we would talk more about it on Monday. Well Monday comes and I was thinking that my nieces would love to see Ashley Tisdale. I made plans to get my niece Morgan later that afternoon, just kind of spur of the moment. I knew that Devyn and Sadey were going to be spending time with their cousin Jenna so I didn't ask them. Sorry girls! Anyway, I got Morgan and she was super excited.
Tuesday comes and so does the rain. Oh how I dreaded heading out in the rain, but I was game for Morgan mainly. The reveal was suppose to be at 2, but because of the rain they changed it to between 4-5. So we decided to meet around 3 and head out. Casey had talked her husband into driving us out there after he got off work. So we all load up in the truck and head out to the reveal. We get close and see all these signs that the concert was closed and that no parking was allowed. So we get to a corner that was about a mile and a half away from the house.
David dropped us off and we started hoofing it. Casey's son is only 3 1/2 so that was a really long walk for him. We hadn't gotten very far when Casey put Mason on her back. We were walking and see the KY3 car go by. Then we see that they have stopped up the road. They get out of the car with their cameras. Casey was like oh my gosh they are going to interview us. I was hoping that they weren't. I am not one to like to be on videos especially the news!
We get up to their car and they ask to talk to us for a minute. I try and stand to the side and let Casey steal the show, but she wasn't having that. They ask us a few questions and I was thinking oh my goodness this is kind of crazy. Of course though, we were a little excited. So we called our husbands and let them know so that it could be recorded!
It ended up that we did not get to Ashley Tisdale. The rain had caused problems with sound system so they had her perform in the garage so there wasn't a good place to see her. We did get to hear her, which I was happy about.
So if you didn't see it, you can go to the website below and check it out. We aren't on until the last few seconds of the video. It is funny now that I see it, I wish I would have had a different answer. Dan made fun of my squinty eyes, but that is how I look when I laugh so I can't do much about that!!

Summer fun!
Well, it has definitely been a while! Summer is halfway over and I don't feel like I have gotten enough accomplished. Oh well, that is the way it goes!! Although I haven't gotten much accomplished, I have done quite a bit! Let me share.
The summer started off with a Memorial weekend at the lake. Unfortunately it rained the whole weekend, so there wasn't much lake time going on. The first two weeks in June I taught summer school. Yuck, I know, but it really wasn't horrible. I taught PE, how tough is that? Not tough at all and all the kids enjoy PE, so it went rather smoothly.
Our first little trip for the summer was an annual float trip with Dan's family. We went to the Buffalo river, which is a great place. The weather started out a little questionable with some rain, but ended up being ok. It did rain both nights which was not the most fun. I was having trouble sleeping anyway and the rain did not make it easier. I did get a lot of reading done though. Thank goodness for book lights, such a great invention!! The canoe trip itself was a little different than we are used to. We have always done a whole day one, but unfortunately the river was really crowded and we had to go on a shorter trip. It was kind of a bummer, but we did spend some time at the river just swimming around. All in all, it was a pretty good trip. I was a bit moody at times and I am sorry for that, but I guess that comes with the pregnancy!
Another fun topic of the summer, I am expecting a baby in December. Quite an exciting thing for Dan and I. We had been trying for a few months, but really just started hardcore in like February. I got pregnant in March. We both went to the doctor because we were going to get to hear the heartbeat. We got there and they couldn't pick up the heartbeat, which means they have to do a sonogram......darn the luck! It was amazing! I was so glad that Dan was there, something special for both of us to experience. So we got to see the little guy/gal moving around like crazy. It was really fun. I went to the doctor today and I got to hear the heartbeat. 150.....which could mean a girl. Who believes in that old wives tale??? I also took a little quiz online and it said a girl too. Anyone have any guesses as to what you think it is???!!!! We will find out in August, pretty excited about that.
Next big event of the summer, trip to Vegas!!!! Sounds like a blast right, well not when you leave from Springfield, MO!!! My sister turned 30 on July 4th. For her birthday she wanted our family to go to Vegas for a weekend. So we had it all planned out and everyone was pretty excited. So Friday comes and we are rarin' to go. My brother and sister-in-law come to pick us up and head to the airport. We get there and check in all goes great. Then we go to the terminal and it says our flight is delayed. No big deal surely it won't be long. About an hour later they get on a crappy intercom and tell us that they are having issues with the plane, but are working on it. An hour later, they start loading the plane, yeah! Oh but wait there are people coming back through the walk way. Other way people other way. No such luck, the plane is still broke. Ughhh!!! About two hours later they tell us that they can't get the plane fixed but there is another one on the way from Vegas. Great, no big deal, sucks but at least we will get there tonight. 4 hours later, they tell us the flight has been canceled. Come to find out, they never sent a plane from Vegas. They give us a $50 voucher for our next flight. Thanks a lot, we will really want to experience this again. So the next day we get there and we go to check in. We don't have a room, even though I had called and the airline had called and told them we will be there on Saturday. Are you flipping kidding me???? So frustrating. We end up with a room and then the trip begins to get better. We did some sight seeing, played some beer pong, well not me, and ate lots! All in all it was a pretty good trip.
We leave for another camp trip on Thursday. Should be a good time, a bunch of friends going. Maybe I will blog a little sooner this time. I promise to blog about the sex of the baby.
I tried to add pictures, but had some trouble so maybe next time!!!
