Ding...Fries are Done!

In honor of my sister! Thanks for calling me the other day with it. I needed it that day. Enjoy! Now, maybe every time you hear this classic Christmas song you'll have this visual picture like I do ;~)



For those of you who want the lyrics...

I work at Burger King making flame broiled whoopers, I wear paper hats.
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
I gotta run.
I gotta run.
I gotta run.
I gotta run.
Don't bob for fries in hot fat.
It really hurts bad and so do skin grafts.
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Where is the bell?
Wait for the bell.
Can't hear the bell.
Where is the bell?
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
I work at Burger King making flame broiled whoopers. I wear paper hats.
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Would you like an apple pie with that?
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.
Ding! Fries are done.

September 2008 Family Photo's

So life is starting to get back to normal. As I'm sure you all have heard by now, Jack was in the hospital for 11 days with a blood clot that went the entire length of his left leg. He went in on a Monday for an outpatient orthoscopic knee surgery and three days later was admitted to the hospital. He had two rather scary and risky procedures done and was placed in the Special Care Unit. I am so thankful that he got good care and is home with his family now!! I am also so proud of him for following up with his doctor and getting an ultrasound. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't. Life is fragile and you never know if today is your last day.

In September we had an exchange student, Rosie, come to live with us for the school year. She is a very nice girl and get's along great with the girls. She shares a room with Katelynn, is 12 years old and LOVES school! October pictures to come soon. I really want to get current with the pictures so Rosie's family can be enjoying photo's of their daughter too.

Wanted to give a shout-out to all our friends and family who helped us out during Jack's hospitalization by praying for us and providing meals. You guys helped me keep my sanity so THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!

August 2008 Family Pictures

Ok! I really do not know how you guys have time to keep up on your blogs, emails, face books, housework, husband, kids' activities, etc., etc., etc.! I have not had any spare time to update my blog nor read any of your blogs. There is just not enough time in my day!! Life is crazy but going well. As some of you know, we now have a Korean Foreign Exchange girl staying with us. You'll have to stay tuned for photo's of her. I will try to get September's photo's up soon so you can see a picture of her. Rosie is very sweet and is fitting right in with our family. More about that later.

Most of these photo's are of us camping at Silver Falls Oregon. It was very hot and beautiful there. We did LOTS of walking to see LOTS of waterfalls. They were very pretty and we really enjoyed this campground. There were some really great little stores in town too. My favorite was called The Red Bench with antiques and country decor. Gotta get these posted and get to bed! Talk with you later!

July 2008 - Dallas Texas Trip

Wanted to post our pictures from Dallas. This was such a great trip! Started with the Nevus Convention. It is great to be able to meet every two years for Katelynn with other friends. Madison fits right in and has friends there too. We always learn so much from all the doctors!

We were able to see some of Jack's family while we were here too. Spent an afternoon with his parents, niece and her husband and also spent a day at Six Flags with Jack's niece and her husband. It was very hot that day but the good thing was...some high winds came in and they closed most of the rides for about an hour. A lot of people went home since the rides were closed. When they re-opened the rides, there was hardly any wait for us!

We got to go to the American Girl & Bistro. The girls had a great time here and the dessert was really good too!

We walked around downtown Dallas and saw where JFK was shot. Madison is still talking about that. Ate at a crabshack. Great food! We had a great time and look forward to it in 2 years again!
