Mother's Day

    Steve told me that we always host the get togethers, I always do most the cooking...that this Mother's day it was MY day and no cooking. We mailed his Mom a card from us/Kaya and checked on her today, of course told my Mamma Happy Mother's day and then took off and spent the day down at my Dad's. We keep chickens there and we needed to check on them anyways. We took down chicken to eat for lunch(ironic I know lol) and fixings and Dad supplied drinks and some sides and we had a really nice time.
  I'm thankful to Kaya that I am her Mamma. Without her I'd never be called SuperMamma, the best Mamma in the World or....Mean Mamma LOL She opens my eyes to what unconditional love is and she opens my heart every day. I've found when your kid hurts you hurt...and when it's hurts you can't fix easily...you fret. I'm thankful for Steve for without him I'd never have Kaya...and that gift is simply priceless.
 I have had an all around nice day

Always something....

We've been waiting on Steve's MS shots to arrive...we gave them an extra week, he's down to one shot and he decided to call today. They have never been late...they are usually right on the nose at 2wks shipment or even a few days early. Steve called the drug company and they said it was noted that our shipment should have been AT our house on the 14th. Further investigation.....FedEx has lost Steve's shots!!! They have either delivered them to the wrong place or lost them entirely!!! Due to them being packed with ice packs to control the temp in the injector needles...that is a $3500 shipment($5000 give or take before insurance for 12 needles) that went bad!! Thankfully the shot company filed it as a lost script, is doing an investigation and refilled Steve's shots. He may run out of shots before the new shipment arrives but at least they didn't charge us full price for a refill (we are in a copay program after our health insurance pays...insurance etc could have easily said So Sorry but that's your problem and charges us for a full refill sans insurance!!), they are resending them and they are dealing with Fed Ex. The drug company is VERY irate with Fed Ex!!! I'm hoping that the shots are just lost and that someone didn't steal them or think they were getting some pain meds....the side effects of Avonex is a VERY high fever, flu like symptoms and all over body aches. Granted if one of the employees that should have delivered them is suddenly out with the flu lmbo culprit found LOL



Update....new shipment of meds arrived...via UPS overnight! Very thankful for the shipment,for insurance reapproving it and the drug company researching it

Life is good :)

Life with Kaya.....never dull ;)

Our fave little minion wink emoticon Life is never dull with this wonky haired girl around!! 
1. "Ohhh I think you got shampoo in my eye!"...told her I was sorry but it was conditioner not shampoo. "Well you say potato I say Patato...it's all the same" LMBO
2."You know I graduate next month. I didn't even realize that. Of course I didn't realize I've been going an extra thirty minutes every day either....."....LOL
3. "Hey Mamma you can borrow my Hello Kitty backpack when you start school." Told her I'd be starting in early May and she'd be out in late May but that I can do mine at home. "Well...you can use it to carry the books to the computer ok? I'm trying to share...goodness"
4."I am completely full from supper. COMPLETELY. Oh, wait I have room, just enough room in this section of my tummy for a packet of gummys. Just barely enough room."
5. "I told C in my class that I have ate and I like worms with cheddar cheese and ants in glass candy (her Uncle Jonus sent her some...yes she liked them lol) He said that was gross. I told him hey, I like it that's all that matters and that no I do not just eat any ole bug" LOL
6." I think Aunt Lindsey's baby boy is going to be this big when he comes out ...(spreads her hands out to about 2 ft.)" I made a face and said I bet she hopes he's a bit smaller than that. "Hmm I don't know why. Havin' a baby can't be that bad and he has to be big enough to do stuff." Told her she best not wish for Aunt L to have a 2 ft baby LOL
7. "Daddy get over it. A tomato is a fruit. You can call it what you want but you like fruit so you should like a tomato." Steve made a face and said he doesn't like tomatoes and he says they are a veggie. "Daddy a scientist listed them that way so you're going to have to face it. It's a fruit. It may not look like a fruit, smell like one or taste like one but it is. Now let it go" LOL
Nope, never a dull moment around the ole Hacienda smile emoticon

Awesome family time

  We went to Addie's first soccer game and we had a ball!! The kids had a blast, Kaya LOUDLY cheered Addie on and it was nice sitting with family watching the game. We let the girls play at the park attached to the soccer field for a bit before heading home.
  First day of mowing, raking and the such lol I'm one of those nuts that loves to mow so I usually do it while Steve weedeats etc. We do trade back and forth though but once the dead heat of summer hits I do most of it because he can't take the heat. So I really enjoy the time we get together doing things :)
  Of course I got the mower stuck in the drainage ditch like I do every year lol I only do it once but it's always the first time I mow LOL I tried to get the blasted thing out,,,,no such luck so Steve had to save me LOL I think I overestimate my turn around on the corner ;)
  We had Addie, her Mamma and her Mamma's boyfriend over for hotdogs on the fire pit, smores and chips and dip :) Wonderful time was had by all just relaxing by the fire talking and laughing. The girls played on Kaya's swings, in the yard, on bicycles and of course on the trampoline. They are two peas in a pod :) 

Kaya's first field trip

  I wish the school had requested parent volunteers but I guess they opted not to due to the amount of teachers, teacher's aids and such that went. The kids got to eat at a cool park the next town over and to visit the WonderLab...a really cool science and hands on building.
  Kaya had a blast and we loved hearing her chat about everything she did, saw and was involved in. Although she did get told to not ask repeatedly "Why are we lining up Mrs W?" LOL
  Very glad she had a great time and wants to go back to WonderLab. Love her so excited over science, that she had a great time and did so well. Looking forward to many more field trips that we CAN go on and be involved in :) 

Couldn't be prouder of our girl!!! She chose her own experiment, did all the testing required and helped glue everything to her board how she wanted. And....she won first place in her grade/category :) VERY proud of her and I won't lie...I LOVE that she is so into science!!!  All the kids did great and we had a ball checking everything out at the science fair. Purdue, IU, the local library, a gem club and the local science and magic clubs all had tables with interactive projects and the kids love that!! The school provided either a snack or meal.
