Fun Bummer

Well, Saturday June 13 we were supposed to go see the space shuttle take off. We can usually see it from our front yard, although we are about 2 hours from the space center. The take off was supposed to be at 7:17 AM. Now this meant that we had to leave our house VERY early. I went to bed around 11:00...after the disappointing Red Wings game. When I went to bed, the take off was still scheduled and we were planning on going to see it. We have seen it once before in Titusville and it was awesome! Mike got up at 3:30 and I got up at 3:45. I was lucky if I got 4 hours of sleep. We packed a cooler, fishing poles, and Michael's beach stuff. We got Michael up at 4:30 so he could get ready for the long ride. He was tired, but very excited. We got into the Titusville area when Mike called his buddy from MI who now lives in Titusville and was going to meet us at the park. It was at that time, (6:20 am, less then an hour before the lift off) that we found out that the take off had been postponed due to a hydrogen leak. HUGE bummer...especially since we got up so early and drove so far. Michael was awake until 6...he napped from 6-6:30. We dreaded telling him we would not see the shuttle. He was disappointed, but Daddy quickly turned Michael's attention to fishing.
We went to the park we had planned on and it is right on the river. We did a little fishing...I helped Michael and Mike fished. Michael did catch one small fish and he was very excited. He quickly became disappointed though when he was not catching anything else. He really wants to catch a fish that he can take home and eat. We did see a jellyfish that he wanted to catch, it was just floating by the rocks. Mike and I also saw a manitee and the woman next to us caught a puffer fish, but it did not puff out for us.
We also went to New Smyrna Beach for a little bit so Michael could play in the sand and water.
Anyway, here are a few pictures. We are hoping to see the shuttle take off sometime this week...although maybe just from our front yard. Next time we drive to go see it I WILL check the internet before we leave!

Just an update

Michael got a new sprinkler that he really enjoyed playing with! The water was a little cold, but he had fun!
Our Memorial Day weekend was uneventful. We had a nice relaxing weekend. We spent time together relaxing as a family and we also got some stuff done around the house.
Friday May 29 is Michael's graduation day! I will post more photos after that.

Michael's school pictures

Not much going on!

April is half over and not too much is going on. I am looking forward to school being over for the summer. Michael is too I am sure. The soccer season will soon be over and although Michael loved it in the beginning he is starting to lose interest. Yesterday he did have a good moment in the game, but really could have cared less about playing in the game.
I am posting pictures of Michael's new big boy bed and his room....just because it is cute and I really don't have much to say or post!

Why can't I change my background?? Frusterating, I tried several times!

Happy Easter

Easter basket and the egg shell from the bunny!
Yummy breakfast of boiled egg and bacon.




Well, the Easter Bunny came! I don't think the Florida Easter Bunny did quite as well as the Michigan Easter Bunny, but Michael was still happy. The Florida Easter Bunny not only brought a little bit of candy, but also ANOTHER Geo Trax train, the movie Wall E, a Space book, and a jump rope. The Easter Bunny ate the Easter egg we left and did not clean up the shells when he was done! I had to teach Michael that it was called an egg shell after he told me that the Easter Bunny keeps leaving his "crack" on the table after he eats his egg!!!! OH NO!!! Not a good thing to say! We had a good and relaxing day! We hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!!!

Falling behind

I know it has been a while and I do have some things I can post....I will try to do so this weekend. Happy Easter!!
