ATVing over the weekend

This past weekend was a very relaxing one. We went to Ella's 2nd b-day and then went for dinner to my in-laws house. They just bought a new house in mission and Thomas had to check out every room, cupboard etc... He such a busy boy. We just recently found out through our doctor that Thomas has hearing and eye sight problems. He is going to the specialist on Monday. He might need either surgery or glasses for his left eye and possible tubes put in his ears. We were wondering why his speech has went down hill since the beginning of summer and he was starting to do his own type of sign language because he can't hear us properly.(poor little guy)
Anyways on a much lighter note, Julia finally got to take her motorbike out to Kevin and Karin-Ann's farm on Sunday and she road her bike for just over 3 hours. She loves it. Shawn and Kev shared one of the ATVs and took all the other kids for rides.Karin-Ann and shared the other ATV. I had a blast! They have 40 acres of land so there was lots to do. They just recently sold their home and now are fixing up the farm house. That's all for now.

5 Weird Shannon Facts

Here we go...

1.) I clean my kitchen appliances with q-tips and tooth picks

2.) I can't eat onion ring without lots of salt and vinegar

3.) All of the DVDs, CDs and videos in my house are in alphabetical order.

4.) I can't sleep at night with both of my feet under the blankets. Always one foot out.

5.) Once I fall asleep at night I wake up in the morning in the same position. (I don't toss and turn, only when I have a really bad cold)

Those are the best weird facts I could think of.

Flu Bug Hit Our Home!!! (Yuk)

Well I was trying to get back to the blogging routine and then the flu hit my home. It started with Thomas and eneded with me. I think next year I will be going to the doctors to get a flu shot because this is the 3 year our family has been sick with a flu. Enough is enough! Julia was lucky, she was the only one who bypast it. (She starved herself for 2 days though because she was so scared of getting sick.)
Besides the flu not to much is new.

My Poor Baby Girl!

We celebrated Kailey's birthday on Saturday Sept 23rd at Adventure Zone. Not even 5 minutes into her birthday and she fell off the zip cord ride and broke her elbow. Not the wrist or the upper arm, but the ELBOW! Ouch!!! She hardly cried and wanted to continue with her party. At first we didn't realize she broke it because she could move her wrist and fingers, so we bandaged it up and she sat most of the time and watched her friends play. When it was time to have cake and present, I decided to take off the tenser bandage and look at her arm. All I can say is OMG I think it is broken. She had a lump by the elbow and I told Shawn it is time to go. I don't think she will ever forget her 5th birthday. Smiling putting ice on her wound

One tough little girl!
