A Memorable Memorial Day Weekend


We have had it on the calendar for months---spending the weekend with my BFF and her family on a camping gig out at our property. Always an adventure when you are with the Dotys! Why would this weekend be any different? Here's some eh....shall we say....memorable moments! Can say one thing, never a dull moment!

So, the hope was that the weather would cooperate. Early in the week it was looking good but as the week went on and the weatherman changed his story, we knew we would likely run into some weather on the weekend.

Nothing stops the boys....not rain, not cold weather, not forgetting your swim trunks at home..... oy!

Crazy kids!

Well, the weather did let up and we did get some fun in between rain drops.....

Alexa and Bri took their first official spin on the Honda 50s:

Much of our crew thought it fun to swim, zip line, and boat in frigid slimy pond water:

Creative Cooking since we are still needing to get some cooking supplies out at the property:

Yes, that is a ziplock bag we used to scramble our eggs....I thought it pretty clever!

And, of course, just random WEIRDNESS....because that's how we roll!

Overall, was a great weekend w/ the Feliciano's :) Poor Isaiah took a beating though.....



No, not literally---but had a bit of a reaction to something....an ER visit, steroids, and a couple Benedryl later, he was back at it! Such a tropper!



Thank you Jessica, Isaiah, and even YOU Hector for a great weekend!
We love you guys!

Under Construction....

Well, summer is here and it's been a year since my blog has been updated.....how the heck did that happen?!?!?

Over the next weeks will be updating so if things look like a hot mess on the blog, well, they are..... a work in progress, kinda like all of us!

Stay tuned for pics and such.....it's on the way!

oh, and since I'm no longer a homeschooling mom to 4 kids but rather a crazy rambling mom to 5 and maybe more someday, I've changed my blog address so if you are gonna subscribe, just a little side note (is now www.amydotysramblings.blogspot.com) .... will get it together hopefully soon... but don't hold your breath! You may suffocate!

Hard to believe my baby is gonna be in high school next year! *sniff *sniff Feeling kinda old! But feeling grateful....for alot of things....grateful for all God has blessed this crazy family of mine with, grateful that my kids have had 2 great years at RBA, grateful for all the wonderful people we have met thru our experience at RBA and the relationships that have resulted, and excited.....excited about our new adventure of being a part of Community Christian School with most of those people who have become like a second family to us at RBA(7 people in our family was just not enough! LOL). If I haven't had the chance to tell ya about our new school, check out the website www.ccsjoliet.org. God is going BIG THINGS!

Until next time,
