Hello Blogger Buddies....I love hearing from all of you so keep up the emails.
We had a great time while in NC, DC and PA. We returned home in time to get in a day at our local fair. Kristian was excited to go to the Demolition Derby and really enjoyed it, especially when I got the ear plugs in. We were front and center so the noise was great and the flying dirt was one of the highlights. =) (The derby pics are posted last first we will start with the weekend to DC/PA) Here you'll see some of our CA friends Sarah and Christain. I babysat Christain back in 2000. It was good to see them~( they moved to the east coast in 04) The boys seemed as though they had not spent any time apart and laughed and played togehter. Jess, Amber and Apollo stopped by our hotel to visit. Kristian was in heaven when Jess agreed to play games with him. He was stuck at a hard place on a game and was hoping Jess could get him through. Apollo was thrilled that our hotel allowed dogs. He is such a good boy! We spent part of a day in DC seeing the sights. It was so hot and one of my friends ;) kept calling me....SO..you'll see me on my phone in three pics and yes, I'm talking to the same person! (Send me all your guesses via email the winner will get a prize!! =) So while walking around DC we got so hot and by the time we were desperate for a drink and cooling off the only place we could find was George Wash. Hospital. Of course they had a cafeteria so we got ice water and ice cream. The metro pics were taken at the beginning of the trip and the end of the day. There will be no question as to which was which! LOL Kristain's face gives it away. We went to Evette's from visiting Amber where I celebrated my birthday. It was fun to see their new house/town. They have officially been named dillweeds from Dillsburgh! LOL Evette made dirt dessert (yummy) and a nice dinner to celebrate. We also burned a treasure candle to remember the good old days. We found three treasures in all. You can see the first one starting to show in the candle burning pic. Kristian had his remote control boat and played with it in the Bittmann's hot tub.
Kristian's friend, Alexis, came after school the other day and right away they were fighting over the remote. She won! LOL They had a lot of fun.
Hope you are all well and for those of you in TX I hope you were spared any harm or damage!

Kristian and I had a visitor a month or so ago and we never posted it. This is Reba, she lives @ Fulton Manor and she is one of our favorites. (Ashlin loved her so I knew she'd like to see this) She is able to leave but has no family to take her out. We brought her home on a sunday for lunch and Kristian had to show her his trains. Also, not long after I posted about Polly being pregnant she went to Newt heaven. Kristian was heart broken and insisted on posting this at her grave. I thought she was sick but after taking her to the pet store for advice I assumed they knew what they were talking about. They didn't she was in fact sick.

Here is a pic of Amber, Kristain, Apollo, giving Kristian a ride (Good boy Apollo) Jess, and Ashlin while we were in NC. (aug. 24) I've been so pooped that I have not blogged since that weekend. (well if you don't count Evette's page)... (we drove the 12 hours trip home on monday the 25th, I wasn't feeling great and ended up passing a kidney stone on the 26th, seen the Dr. on the 27, a cat-scan on the 28th and off to DC over the weekend then onto PA to see the Bittmann's and returned home on Sept. 2....I'm feeling old after traveling 2800 miles in 1 1/2 weeks and craming a weeks worth of work in three days while home also, passing a stone and all that...whew...I need some sleep!) I will be back with more updates but I told Amber about a week ago that I'd get this cute pic. up and I hadn't done it. With a call yesterday it nudged me to sit down and post it. Kristian loved this and of course loves seeing his sisters and playing with their dogs. More later.....=)
