Update on Dad/Danny

Hey everyone.. I have never posted on this blog because I never knew how until I stumbled onto an email with the login info that I have had since I dunno March maybe.. duh!

Anywho heres what going on with Dad.. He had his back surgery Monday in Cape and he did very well. I hear he was very amusing after receiving his HAPPY medicine as he calls it.. Anywho, he got to come home Tuesday afternoon and he is recovering pretty good. However he is in sooo much pain! He is having a hard time getting comfortable and he is pretty needy! I was there with him today while mom was at work and kept him company.. He is really bored! Mainly because he is stuck in the kids room with a TV and thats about all.. He says all he does is sleep and he is tired of sleeping. SO, if anyone wants to call him but dont want to "bother" him, no worries he would enjoy talking to someone! Especially during the day when mom is working...

As far as myself and my family were all doing good! I quit Hastings a couple weeks ago so Im a one job workin woman now! Very happy needless to say! I am however now selling Avon to make up for the lost income. I have an online site at www.youravon.com/ahaynes6634 check it out! Nice little stocking stuffers in there.

Kids are doing good. Austin is excited about his birthday which is actually the 18th not the 16th but thats ok :) Were having a pool party at a friends house for him Saturday evening.. He is happy to be turning 4.. McKenzie is getting closer to 2 and BOY can I tell.. Little attitude!!! Ian has been on vacation this week so I took off as well.. We havent done anything really but relaxing is always good. I think tomorrow were either taking the boat on the lake or going to see a movie.

My home PC is screwed up again so I cant check my email from there yet till I set it up on my laptop.. soooo if you need to get in touch with me email me at angiehaynes2003@hotmail.com I check it daily as well..

I never got Phyllis's letter, I dont know why maybe it got lost in the mail? I really want one though. I need as many recipies as I can get cause lord knows I cannot cook worth a darn! LOL

I really miss you all and hope to see you soon!!! Love you all

Loving it!

Hi Kay, Angie, Joey & whoever else takes time to drop in & check on our blog!

I was so pumped yesterday! First of all, it's been over a week since I've checked the blog. So I was so excited to see the posting Kay's been doing. But it's so funny how timing works out.
Last week, I was going to make the "nacho casserole" recipe that Phyllis sent w/her newsletter.
But, something came up & we didn't do it. Friday-Monday we had plans eating with other people b/c of birthday parties & such. So, I decided I'll make it Tues (yesterday). When I got the mail, I had my newsletter from Aunt Sherry & the kids letter from Aunt Kay. So, while I prepared Aunt Phyllis' casserole recipe, the kids did their activity & I read the newsletter.
Cool huh? The casserole was fantastic! If you haven't tried it, you should!

I can't believe Sherry had an "accident" w/her lawn mower. Ouch!
I wish a quick recover to Danny - but it's going to be a round 1st week. Sorry! (Jeff & I have been there, done that. )

I bought a new toy last week that I can't wait to share with you all!!!! I tell you more later...

April

Soooo Proud!

I'm so proud of everyone for keeping up with the monthly newsletters!
You should all be receiving your letter from Sherry today.
So far we have heard from Teri, Phyllis, April, Angie, Sherry and myself.
Joey is next month.
Just a reminder..... Amy, Carrie and Chris will take care of Sept, Oct and Nov.
Looking so forward to our get -together.
This year will be better then past years due to "keeping in touch"
It's amazing how little we know about each other when we read each others letters about our families.
I don't know about everyone else but for me, I'm having fun!
Keep the letters coming!
Kay

Happy Birthday Cameron and Collin!!

To The Kids!

Just want to let you kids know I have not forgot the monthly trivia questions.
I am a month behind but the game for June is in the mail as of this morning.
Instead of trivia, it is something a little different.
It will be up to your parents to get this mailed back to me.
Let them know, if they don't mail it back to me, you will not get a star for the month of June.
No star....No prize.....No nothing.
No pressure parents!
I will try to get July in the mail before the month is up.
Here's how we stand so far:

Haley: 8 Points = 1 star and 3 points (need 2 more points)
Alex: 9 Points = 1 star and 4 points (need 1 more point)
Morgan: 9 Points = 1 star and 4 points (need 1 more point)
Blake: 2 Stars
Aidan: 9 Points = 1 star and 4 points (need 1 more point)
Cameron: 8 Points = 1 star and 3 points (need 2 more points)
Collin: 8 Points = 1 star and 3 points (need 2 more points)
Kayla: 9 Points = 1 star and 4 points (Need 1 more point)
Josh: 9 Points = 1 star and 4 points (need 1 more point)
Matthew: 2 Stars
Jacob: 9 Points = 1 star and 4 points (need 1 more point)
Corey: 2 Stars
Austin: 1 Star so far (need month of May)
McKenzie: 1 Star so far (need month of May)

Each star is worth a prize.
We started in April.
You can win up to 8 prizes by November.
Thats 8 prizes, plus your stocking, plus your Christmas gift from whoever has your name!
I will start adding a bonus question for those of you that need to catch up.
I want all of you to have 8 stars!
Now, start working on the month of June as soon as you receive it and send it back to me.
Look for July in a couple weeks!
Love, Aunt Kay

Happy July!

Can you believe we are already into the 7th month of the year????
Less than 6mos until Christmas! Yikes..... Still filling up my box....
So, I am also revving up to do some craft fairs this fall... I think I told you guys I make baby slings. Here is a picture of one I delivered yesterday

I also make them for little girls who play with dolls to carry their babies around. In fact, I have McKenzie's name to do a stocking for & I thought about making one for her. Angie - does she play with dolls & if so, what kind of pattern (fabric) would she like? I can get Dora, Spongebob, Disney characters, you name it, I'm sure I can find it....

If you guys have not checked it out, please look at my webiste http://www.perfectly-created.com/ There is a link on the sidebar of this blog (click on the girls w/slings) If you know anyone looking for a unique baby gift, I am the one to contact!!!! I am running a special in July on pacifier bronzing. The cost is $55 per pacifier. They are great keepsakes! They make a great Christmas ornament too. We can bronze ANYTHING!

I am loving the weather this week! So glad the humidity is not high like last week. Morgan & I went to the Muny last night to see Annie. It was great!
