Dinner Surprise

Sunday we ate lunch around 3pm so we decided to have dinner around 7:30-8pm. Most of the day I was at my grandparents house doing some house cleaning. When I got home I had a nice little surprise waiting for me. Mylan greeted me at the door as if we was a waiter. He had a towel draped over his arm and said, "Welcome Ma'am. Allow me to take your bags Ma'am." So he took my bag and took my arm and led me to the coffee table. He said, "Let me take you to your table ma'am." He was so cute! I discovered that we were eating in the living room so that the boys could watch football while we ate. However, I think they were buttering me up because they even went to the gas station to buy me a coke to have with dinner...my fave! Needless to say, it worked! My favorite part was Mylan the waiter though!

Promise of kisses anytime I choose!

My boys LOVE fresh baked anything! Mostly brownies or cookies! So this weekend Mylan asked if I would make brownies. I told him, "Well I don't know Buddy, I do have a pretty full schedule." I was only kidding because I didn't have a full schedule and he knew that. So he ended up making me a pretty good deal! He told me that anytime from now on if I make cookies or brownies that I can get kisses from him anytime I want! Of course I said right away, "Deal!!" Here is the rules:

I can only get kisses at home so that he doesn't get embarrassed by any of his friends seeing.
If I bake on a week day I can only get kisses that day and the following morning.
If I bake on a weekend, I can get kisses the entire weekend.
So of course I plan to do all my baking on the weekend. I can get more kisses that way!

Just some stuff

I found a few pics of Mylan that I thought was cute. I found them on the computer while cleaning out my picture files.

This last pic was taken by our friend Brian today at Mylan's football game. It is me and Jayden. Mylan is playing with The Derby Blackshirts!

Game Room

These are pics of our back room. The room that we have had no idea what to do with so far. It is located behind our living room only separated by one wall. Sometime in the future we plan to knock out the separating wall. Who knows when that will be though. At the present time Mylan uses this room to practice his baseball swing.

This is our ugly, ugly fireplace. I really don't like the red brick, gold and the wood grain mantle. We will paint the brick and eventually change or try painting the mantle.

This is standing at the opposite end of the room looking towards the room entrance. On the left of the pic is the sliding glass doors (that need replaced) which lead to the back yard. The paneling will deffinatly be going. We will eventually replace the carpet with the same wood flooring that is in the living room, kitchen and dinning room.

This is standing at the rooms entrance looking toward the other end of the room towards the only window in the room.

Panthers Football

Ready for the Derby Panther's Football Game tonight!

Climbing with Shonda and Michael

Shonda and Michaela re members of the Kansas Cliff Club...rock climbing. Mylan and I join them sometimes for a little fun. This time was special because I went higher than I've ever gone before! I was so scared that I was shaking. Everyone would keep saying, "Go higher!" I'd say, "When I stop shaking I'll move!" Mylan even said that he was impressed because he didn't think I would do it. I am so afraid of heights. However, at the end of the day I was beat out by a 6 yr old, Isabelle. Isabelle was fearless. She just bounces up that wall like a little monkey. I am determined to one day climb the entire wall (85 feet).

This is where I froze and couldn't go any further. Isabelle beat me by one more step. I need to over come the fear of looking down. If I could just do that than I could look to see where my next step is rather than feeling my way around. I climb flat against the wall. Experienced climbers just scramble up the wall with no fear. It's crazy!

My scrape I got climbing the wall. I had no idea that I did that till I was safe on the ground. Michael caught me as I got closer to the ground. I was so scared and thrilled that I did it and that I was on the ground again that I hugged him and laughed my butt off!

Glad to be on the ground after trying a wall in the Dungeon.

Silly Mylan!

Just hanging around.

Great job Mylan!

Silly Sisters!

This is 7 yr old Isabelle beating me on the wall! Go Isabelle!

Michael, Isabelle (Michael's God Daughter) and Shonda.

A card from Shonda

Shonda gave me the most wonderful card ever today. This is the cover of it. I loved it! Thank you Shonda!
