Welcome aboard CAPTAIN

We have a new addition to the Krayca family.. Captain is our new kitty.. he is 13 weeks and so far he hates Kaledog!! This will be a tricky few days trying to get them both acclimated. He is pretty cute. John has really been wanting a cat since Bugsy went AWOL on us after we moved into the new home. So I surprised him today with the little guy.

Happy 50th Birthday Dad

We all miss you very much.. I think of you often and wish you were still here..... to call me every day with absolutely nothing to talk about, to tell me to get my kids to church, to meet Jackson. I know you are finally at peace in heaven and I am thankful each day that you are no longer in so much pain. You were a generous soul and I hope that I can be half as forgiving of others as you were... i love you dad xoxoxo

Full House

I'm starting to wonder if I can keep up with this blog. I feel guilty for not having posted for a few weeks and I just got started. Oh... well. The Krayca house has been busy.. We have had a lot family here this last week and that's a blessing in itself.. I have taken lots of pictures of the kids so I will get them up soon...Some things we have been up to....

Going to the Gardner pool or shall I say Aquatic center...its really a nice place. They have expanded it tremendously. There is a lazy river and 3 pretty big tube slides. I accompanied the kids down those and have some bruises to show for it.

Trip to Deanna Rose Farmstead.. That place has really come a long way in the last few years as well. It really is a beautiful place.. They have a butterfly/birdwatching trail with massive wind chimes that hang from trees..Its really neat.

Trip to the doctor for Jackson.. we were just sure that he was either teething or had an ear infection. He hasn't been sleeping worth a darn. John and I are getting up numerous times a night with him and he also has been drooling and chewing fingers and even pulling at his ears.. So I took him to the doctor on Tuesday and the doctor says his ears look perfect and no swollen gums.. I'm not sure what he is up to but he has been a real stinker! He also gained another pound since the end of June. 19.8lbs.

Gabe had a lemonade stand and all his cousins helped him run it.. It went pretty well. He made about 15 dollars give or take from the neighbors closest to us. They all paid well over the 25 cents. They would wave at the cars hoping they would stop and they wouldn't.. I don't know how they could resist with all those cuties out there..

John got a promotion at work.. He is now the Assistant Plant Manager... I am sooo proud of you dear... you deserve it!!! You have really come a long way in 6 years..

John also finished putting up our privacy fence and it looks really good. It sure feels good to just let Kaledog out and not have to put him on the tie out. John is such a handyman and really enjoys building things.. Thank goodness for me. Next he is planning to pour some more concrete to extend our patio in the back.

Gabe took field trip to Allen Field House in Lawrence with his summer camp.. He said he met Sherron Collins and two linebackers. He didn't know their names but said they both had beards..LOL He has a field trip to the Shatto Dairy Farm tomorrow.

I will try and get some pics up soon... Until then
Peace

Chunky Soup

Jackson went for his 4 month check up today. He weighed in at 18.6 lbs and 27 1/2 inches long.. The nurses just went ga-ga over him.. The doctor said everything looks good and he can start cereal for now and in a few weeks baby food. Little does he know , Jack has been on rice cereal for quite awhile now in his bottles. I don't follow rules very well. So we started carrots that day and he seems to really dig them...
