Branson 2011

Monday we left for our annual trip to Branson.  We were so excited, but had not really decided what all we were going to do yet. I guess that I had been so busy trying to get all those papers written that I hadn't really researched my trip schedule very well.  We arrived in Branson around 1:00 p.m. and went straight to the hotel, got checked in, rested (for a minute), then went to the lake to swim...or not!!  Not thinking about all the floods that had taken place earlier in the year, we bee-bopped down there only to find out there was NO Swimming beaches!!  They were all under water.  The kids LOVED Tablerock lake last year, so they were a little disappointed.  We decided to go back to the hotel to swim for a little while before driving down to Branson Landing for dinner.  It was a really fun night even though the floods had damaged the equipment for the water/lights/fire show, we ended up going on a moonlight cruise of Lake Tanycomo.  I would highly recommend it...it was fairly inexpensive and the kids loved it because the got to drive.  A 4 million dollar boat, they got to drive!!  It was definitely the highlight of the day :)
On our way...I had to stop and take a picture.  So
pretty, but really I'm a flat-land kinda girl :)

Makena had to take a pic of me and Carl, too!

Three Doses of Happiness

Laundry piled up, dishes in the sink, phone buzzing with many emails, toys all over the house.......sounds like an absolute perfect time to go outside and relax with my kiddos! Today has been a VERY warm day.  It probably would be more enjoyable if we didn't know that it would more than likely storm tonight!  Carlie didn't go to school today because she was up a lot last night with stomach issues.  She never vomited, but she was very nauseated and has had stomach cramps.  She hasn't felt bad all day, just off and one.  We might be going to the doctor tomorrow p.m. because Sunday night I noticed that she has a little bulge above her belly button, I wasn't concerned about it (really) until her stomach started hurting and she said that it hurt to tough.  Maybe it's nothing, but people keep mentioning hernia to me.  Please pray that she feels better soon.  Also tomorrow is the big day....academic advising.  I remember the very first time I was advised (somewhere a
