Kylie's new adventures

These are few a weeks old but they are so cute & I kept forgetting to put them on. She loves to climb up & look at the fish now. She is totally her daddy's girl when it comes to animals. :-) And the bottom one is of her looking at the manual for the car. (Again her daddy's girl!)

My 'new' Toyota 4-Runner

Here are a few pictures of our new 4-Runner. As of this moment its not totally paid off but the guy is holding it until we sell our car. (Which someone is supposed to buy it today). So we'll see how things all work out. Friday night we rented a rug doctor steam cleaner & did the seats & floors in the car & got it all good to sell, & then while we had the rug doctor Jonathan did the truck & then he went & got the 4-Runner & cleaned it all up too. That took all day Saturday. I was feeling pretty good the first part of the week, but by Wednesday, I was wiped out & it kept getting worse so by Friday night & Saturday I was no good to anyone. I just sat & laid around all day Saturday. I was able to help Jonathan some & he went with me to Walmart to get groceries, we had a great supper of microwave meals & then all went to bed. Yesterday morning I was still not feeling the best but we went to church & ate a quick lunch & took a nap (until Kylie woke up) but she played good by herself, so I just sat & read a book & felt a lot better then. I feel good today but I learned my lesson ~ not to over do it the first part of the week. :-) I guess that's all the news from our weekend. Not too exciting, but that's ok. No complaints here - boring is good once in a while!!

Happy 19th Birthday, Jospeh!!

Joseph,
Hope your birthday is extra special this year! Wish we all could be there to celebrate with you. But since we can't be together this special blog post will have to do! Enjoy the pics & remember the memories behind them!!
We love you lots!

New Links

Good morning to everyone! I have added two links - one is my sister's blog. If you havn't checked it out yet - you need to. She always has adventures & has a great way of writing about them. She's attending Hobe Sound Bible College in FL. Her website is: www.thesweetlifeofbecka.blogspot.com

The other link I added is our prayer & praise blog! I've been wanting to do that for a while but this week seemed the time. It'll help us to look back & see how God has helped us & for us to publicly give Him the honor & glory he deserves. That website is: www.springersprayernpraise.blogspot.com

What another crazy day!!

Today was yet another crazy day in the life of the Springers! I'm learning this is normal! I'm chillin' in bed with the laptop b/c my feet & hands are very swollen. I'm not really sure why except I've been up ALL day since 7:30 this morning. I had my other higher level sonogram today. We had to drop Kylie off at 'Aunt Esther's' by 8:45 to make it to McAllen by 9. Thanks, Esther - I forgot to tell you, but its a good thing we didn't take her with us - there was a bright yellow sign in the waiting room - NO CHILDREN! It was a genetic couseling office. I'm not really sure why they sent me there - Sitting there I kept thinking, is there something really wrong that they didn't want to tell us before. It was very sobering. There was another couple there, & the wife was totally a basket case. She kept crying & holding her head. I had to stop & thank God for my life & knowing that we are in His control. Anyway -- the tech couldn't tell us anything but she did show us the baby & gave us 2 pictures of its face. Its very plain - its cheeks almost look fat! :-) We didn't need any counseling so I'm assuming everything is fine with the fluid level. Jonathan said he saw her write on the report "normal" for fluid level. I have an appointment with the midwife on Thursday & they will probably have the full report by then. We came home & Jonathan had gotten a used air conditioner & went to get it fixed b/c it was broken, he has it all installed & working good. By then it was 4:30 & Jeremy called & said he was coming over. I was going to get fruit slushies from Sonic b/c they are 1/2 price from 3-5 in the afternoon!!! I got 3 slushies, One large & 2 mediums for $2.65!!!!!! Can't beat that for a great summer treat! Oh, as I was leaving, my car decided not to start for me. So, Jonathan had to come check it out & of couse it started for him & but he said there could be something wrong with it. We enjoyed our slushies & then went to WalMart to get a new grill & stuff to make hamburgers for supper. Our other grill got retired to the dumpster! This one is great! It has longer legs & has a top rack to warm things on. And it was a great WalMart price of $10.00!! We made supper & cleaned up outside & now Jonathan & Jermey are playing a computer game. After these pictures upload ~ I'm going to bed too. Thankfully, as far as I know I don't have anything pressing to do!
