Dalton's birthday & a few other pictures

I love this picture of Dalton. He was ver anxious to eat the cake & cupcakes that he helped decorate. As I was getting out the icecream, he sat there with his head in his hands. It was too adorable to pass up taking this picture!

Braden says "Hello!"

Dalton got a new bike for his 4th birthday & Braden got his very first tricycle. Karl took them to get their helmets & they each picked out Thomas the Tank Engine, which also came with knee pads & elbow pads. Those already came in handy, when Dalton fell off of his bike & said "It didn't hurt when I falled!"

I think that Shelby has permanently dented this cushion on our sectional.

Mommy has to have her picture taken every now & then!

My Birthday

Today, I turned 26.

Life is so crazy & busy that it didn't really feel like a birthday, but that's okay. School is taking up every spare minute that I don't spend with the kids. The kids are being very sweet in "helping" me study. And Karl is doing his best to keep them out of my hair for a few hours each day, so that I can concentrate. Luckily, my iPod has been GREAT for blocking out the sounds of home, so I can give my full attention to school work.

I will post more pictures soon, so be sure to check back. (Maybe after I do my homework!)

Dalton helped me blow out the candles on my cake!

Braden wanted to help me open my presents.

My 2 boys! The only one missing is Karl, but he is taking the picture!

What have we been up to?

Well, it has definately been a very busy couple of weeks for our family. I realized that I haven't posted anything new since June 15th, but I promise I have a good reason!

On June 16th, my husband, Karl, had a heart attack. We were sitting at home, watching a soccer game on tv & just having a very leisure Saturday afternoon, when Karl told me that he didn't feel well. "What does that mean?" I asked him. "Well, I have this pain in my chest," he says. I said "Let's go to the ER." But stubborn Karl said, "No, let me just lie down & rest for a little bit & see if it goes away." But then even-more-stubborn Megan (and you will probably never hear me refer to myself as stubborn again!) said "Okay, how about if we go to urgent care instead?" Luckily, Karl agreed to this. Once we got to urgent care, we weren't there very long before he was rushed to the hospital. He had a couple of stents put in that evening. On Monday afternoon, he was released from the hospital. However, he will still be needing bypass surgery later in the month.

Then a week and a half later, I started back to school. I am taking online courses to obtain a Criminal Justice degree. I will have my associates degree in 18 months & my bachelors degree in 3 years.

I will be posting pictures soon of what else we have been up to, so check back soon!
