When are you going to Heaven??? -- Heidyism

Tonight Heidy and I were driving down the road and we were talking about me having a birthday next month, and turning 50. Yeah, 50!! Heidy asked me if I was getting old and I said yes. She asked oh so innocently and in a very small voice, Mommy when are you going to Heaven? I said, I hope not for a long time. She said, I don't want you to go to Heaven yet, you are my best mommy in the whole wide world. And was almost crying. I told her we would pray that I stay healthy and around here for a long long time!! She was happy with that answer. Please pray that with me, will ya!!! :-)

Trip to Branson, Missouri

We didn't take a big vacation this year. So when Mark's brother, David and our sister in law, Carlette and the kids were going to Branson Missouri, we decided to meet them there!!

We decided to go a day early and got to our hotel and Mark and I both could tell, even though it was a non-smoking hotel, our room had been smoked in and they had no rooms to move us to. So, as my sinus filled up and got stuffy from smelling the smoke, we slept and got up the next morning and after breakfast, we drove around and got a different hotel and moved. We found a local hotel that was clean and they showed us the room before we signed anything, which was good. It was a really nice hotel. We got a suite and was very comfortable with everything available.

Heidy and Skyler went swimming, it was so hot outside, I think the hottest days of the year so far!!

You can't see Heidy in this picture but she is in there between Skyler and the dolphin!

The big kids, Bradley and his girlfriend, Casey and bottom row.. Skyler, Cassie, Tiffanie, a friend of the nieces, and Raylynn.

At the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.Skyler with the tallest man and the heaviest man on record.
Then we went to the Titanic museum and oh my, it was good! You get the boarding pass of a passenger and you go through the museum and find out if you live or die at the end. It was very interesting!!

We went to "Ride The Ducks" They gave us quackers, to quack at other "Duck" vehicles.

Heidy with her quacker...
David, Carlette, and Mark with their quackers.....
Raylynn, Tiffanie, Casey and Bradley...

Heidy and me....

Getting ready to go into the water from dry land in the same vehicle.
Heidy drove it in the water...

Skyler drove it too...

We went shopping and while we waited for the big kids, Heidy and her Uncle David, played with an empty water bottle kicking it back and forth.

We had a great time!!!
