Burnt to a Crisp

SO first thing first...I just got off the phone with my cousin and she was in the hospital today after having seizures. Also...the chemo medicine that they have put her on is making her really sick and so she has not be able to accomplish much. Therefore...here comes the bad news...she's not coming. :( I am really saddened by this and am having a hard time. Its probably a little selfish of me because I know that her health comes first...but I want her here so bad!! My heart serisouly aches for her and her girls and everything they are going through. I'm at a loss for words, really I'm so upset that I just don't know what to say. On the flip side though she is feeling terrible about it. It meaning me making all these plans and her having to cancel. I explained to her that its really ok, well it will be anyway. I know that in Gods timing she will be here and everything will work out...I really do know that. But my selfish self wants her here now! Now for the even more selfish part of me, I cleared my calender for the trip and now, I know me, I'll sit around being sad all day tomorrow. So if anyone wants to join me for an outing...the mall, park, strawberry picking or anything else I could use some company tomorrow. WOW..did I just say that? OK, so its getting a little easier.

So..onto some good news! Today was a fun filled day and I enjoyed every bit of it! We spent the day at Tropicanoe Cove with Renay and Lindsey and all the kids that accompany us moms. haha Then we saw Kirsten, with the kids that accompany her of course (haha). It was truely a fun day. It was very hard for me today because that pool is so big and my boys are very adventurous, well Weston and Isaac anyway. In a second they would be off somewhere else. For those of you that don't know I am a worrier! Sorry girls, I hope I didn't drive you crazy today. :)

I bought a new kind of sunscreen that you spray, which I thought would be more handy. Well, let me tell ya that it doesn't go on as thick as the lotion. Here's the proof!

I feel like the worse mom in the world!! :( The picture does not do justice. And it got worse as the night progressed. I, too, am fried! (sorry no pictures of that, haha) No really...I am. Lindsey, I think I could run ya pretty good competion, just kidding. Uh-oh..lightbulb, maybe I am a little competitive (those in my small group will understand this). Anyway, when Renay and I went water walking tonight she noticed that I even have a line from my hair and where my strings dangled from my bathing suit. Thats crazy!

Thanks gals for a great day!! Its a must do again sometime.

By the way, I'm pretty sure that my friend Becky and I will be water walking on Monday evening if anyone wants to join us. Becky correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought thats what we talked about. Hope to see some of you there!


I leave you with another sleeping picture. I just can't help myself! :)

I'm going to post a pic on my blog for you. :( I'm sorry about you and the boys! The pic made me laugh, though, because it looks like they're lined up for a lashing...especially with their heads hanging low. :)

Once again, I love the sleeping picture. Love. It.

Your right..IT DOES! None of them wanted to stand there. They were too interested in the tv that I interupted them from. :)

I am sorry for everything. I know you were really looking forward to going. If I didnt have to work I would be there in a second.
Yes you are correct about Monday and the best part is that it is FREE!!!!!
Talk to you later.

I agree...not all suntan lotions is made equal. I have not had as much luck with Banana Boat and BearHug, so I am sticking to Coppertone. I spray the "dickens" out of it on him, but the lotion clearly works the best.

I would love to water-walk on Monday evening with you. I wanted to go last night, but duty called. :)

I'm thinking I'm more competitive than I thought, too. :)

Awww...their backs don't look too bad (thank God their backs don't look like Lindsay's--ow!!). You just never know how well the sunscreen will protect. Glad you had so much fun at Tropicanoe Cove. Hopefully we'll get there someday.

I'm sorry last night was so upsetting for you. I hope you were able to get your mind off of things today. I will be praying for your cousin, her health, and physically being located where God wants her to be.

I am definitely planning on trying the water walking Monday night...especially since it's a free night. I've gotta try on the dreaded bathing suit though first, ugh.

Have a great weekend :-)

Oh man...I'm so sorry to hear about things with your cuz-what a total bummer. I know you were so stoked about her being here and such. Please keep us upated on her health-things sound pretty bad.

The new blog design is so cute!

About the sunblock...I could do a whole post on all I've learned but to keep it shorter, the spray does work, you just need to put it on really thick and then I rubbed it in to assure full coverage. It needs to be on a good 15 minutes prior to exposure and DRY before putting clothes on...none of which are conducive to our quicky boys who want to be in the water or outide yesterday. Anyay, I hope you had an ok day with all this on your mind...I checked your blog by a fluke (not really) since I thought you'd be gone. Hope your burn feels better too;-)

I'm burnt right now too. It bites! Keep us updated about your cousin. I wish I had known you weren't going. We went strawberry picking today, you could of joined us.
