Who Has Mono? Let's Play!

Our first contestant is mom. The sign says it all...NEGATIVE! For those of you reading this mom would like to say that she would jump for joy if she didn't feel like crap. But she doesn't have mono folks! Let's give her a hand (remember your protective hand gear when shaking hands, giving "high fives", etc. ).

Our second contestant is Ethan. What a high powered boy you have! He is....POSITIVE. And it only slowed down Hurricane Ethan for a week! Whoa! There he goes....

Our third contestant is Mackenzie. She is....????? Mackenzie's preemie "super drug" must still be working (mom and dad hope!).

Our fourth and final contestant is Dad. He...HAD IT! That's right folks. Hmmm...how did Elder Matt get the "kissing disease" at the tender age of 13?

There you have it!! That concludes our game for today. This family will walk away with an all-inclusive trip to THEIR HOUSE indefinitely!

Hunker down, stay safe, and don't forget to spay and neuter your pets! Have a good one!

Mono, no mono

****Let's Play...WHO HAS MONO???****

(cue the cheesy game show music)

Welcome to Who Has Mono! Our family comes to us today from Florida. Please welcome the Cates! *Please remember to keep your protective facial gear on while near them.

Let's get started!!

First Day of School

Mackenzie is ready for Ms. Lori's class!

Ready for her first day of Pre-K!

Her first day of pre-k was a good one. Ms. Lori said she and the other 3 girls in the class had to stick together (there are 11 boys in the class!). Ethan wanted so badly to stay in the room! But I was able to drag him away and get him home. We are looking forward to a great year!

Pool party, princesses, and iguanas?

We got crabs!

What a day! We ventured out to the Oleta River State Park, and it was beautiful. We had never been there before, but the Hunters had. So we decided to make time for the families to spend some time together. The kids had a blast! Luke caught a crab that he kept in a bucket for awhile, and the crab did make a break for it when the bucket he was in broke. Everyone had fun playing in the sand, and we got some great pictures of the kids. As usual I didn't use my head and didn't bring a bathing suit for me. So next time I will be prepared! What an incredible blessing our friends are to us. Looking over these pictures when we got home, I really couldn't help but hear the clock ticking. Next summer when my buddies are gone, I think I will hear the Prozac calling....(sniffle)
