Road Trip to Texas

We took a short road trip to Texas this weekend. We left Saturday and came home Sunday. But we did have a good visit with Aunt Janice, Uncle Norman and Aunt Dorothy. We also had dinner with Memaw Hullett and went to church with her. The downside of the whole trip was that Nathan got chiggers. We went to put flowers on Donald's Dad and Grandmother's graves before church and Nathan sat down on the ground for not even two minutes and got chiggers. He was acting up a little in church and got in trouble then last night during his bath Donald discovered them, they were not in the best spot for a little boy. So we figure that is why he was acting up in church he was itching. So we are putting Benadryl no itch gel on.

Nathan lost his other front tooth this morning. So his two front teeth are gone and of course he looks adorable. He went to therapy again this morning. His therapist's name is Rachel and he really really likes her he is ready to go see her. He goes on Mon. and Wed. for an hour each day. So we are pleased that he really likes his therapist. Ms. Tami(one of the paraprofessionals from his class)is going to start doing swimming lessons for him this afternoon at her house. We have been wanting to get him lessons for a while and we think this will work out real well. It is HOT HOT HOT so we are going back to Magic Springs/Crystal Falls tomorrow and probably Friday. We will probably spend most of our time in the water park side this time. I hope everyone has a great week. Try to stay Cool.

Summer Fun

We had a good time at Splash Zone yesterday. It was our first trip to the big swimming pool(this is what Nathan calls the Splash Zone). The weather was HOT so the water felt great. We stayed a little over two hours. Then we came home and got ready for church. I guess the combo of the sun and water really wore Nathan out because he fell asleep at church. Donald and I were surprised because Nathan NEVER takes a nap so we knew he was worn out. We are planning on going back to Magic Springs tomorrow and we are going to go to the amusement park side and ride a few rides then we are going to go to Crystal Falls the water park slide for a few hours.

Our anniversary is Friday hard to believe that we have been married almost 16 years. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and great family. We might go to Texas on Saturday just for a few days.

We check on Nathan every night before we go to bed and this is what we saw the other night. He had gotten all of his stuffed animals and dolls and put them on his bed then he got in bed and went to sleep. I just had to take a few pictures because he looked so adorable. But of course according to Memaw I think he is adorable no matter what he is wearing or doing and of course she thinks that also.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

School is out let the Summer fun begin

Yeah! Yesterday was the last day of school and today we went to Magic Springs. A small amusement park in Hot Springs. We had a good time. There is also a Water Park so we are planning on going to the water park next week. We bought season passes so we are planning on going a lot this summer. The first ride Nathan rode was the wooden roller coaster. Donald and I figured we would just start big and hopefully not traumatize him. But he liked it and he really liked the kiddie rides. So now we are looking forward to having a great summer. Nathan starts occupational therapy next week. He will be going twice a week for an hour each time. So we are happy that he will be getting two hours of therapy a week. Also one of his Paraprofessionals said she would give Nathan swimming lessons at her house. So we are going to start swimming lessons in the next couple of weeks.
