Long Time, No Post!

Wow, it has been a while since the last post. A lot has happened. We lost my Dad on Aug. 20. He decided that it was time to go home. He is being missed here but we all know that he is in a better place and is happy watching over all of us here. Ryan and I also celebrated our 12Th anniversary. Wow, 12 years, and we love each other more every day! Then school started, Tyler in 6Th grade and Breyanna in 3rd. I am still getting used to getting one on the bus at 7:15 and then the other one at 8:00! Breyanna is also in cheer leading this fall! So we are going to the rocket football games to watch her cheer them one. I am almost excited to say that she is really good at it! I will post pics soon! Tyler has been busy with Boy Scouts. He is camping right now up at Mackinac Island. I hope that he brings home fudge! So that has been the Gebben's life in a nut shell! Hope all of you are doing well and I hope to not go so long between posts again!

What a way to spend a Monday!

Yesterday morning about 8:15 Tyler came into my room and said "Mom my side hurts." I started to run down all the usual questions that come along with that statement, when did it start? Do you have to use the bathroom? You know, all the common Mom questions. Then came the big one, which side is it on? "The right side" he says. He went back down stairs and sat in the chair and I sat there (still in bed) thinking "this is not how I wanted to spend my Monday!" So I follow him downstairs and start poking and prodding. Well, it only took me two pokes to figure out that he wasn't joking. So I called Ryan and said, "I am headed to the emergency room with Tyler and some pretty good right side pain." He says "Okay let me know what is going on." So everyone quickly got dressed and piled into the car. Well, Long story short, the emergency room became our home from 9:30 a.m. till about 5:15 p.m.. Then the surgical floor was our next stop till about 9:30 p.m. and then our finial resting place was the 3rd floor of Holland Hospital till about 2:30 this afternoon. He left there pretty sore and one appendix short but at least he got to spend the whole day with his Mom watching all the crazy people come in and out of the emergency room on the full moon Monday!

Breyanna Turns 8!

On Thursday the 25th Breyanna turned 8! She had a very busy day with a Brownie outing, dance and we got to watch Tyler play his last ball game. She got to end the day with an ice cream cake from Coldstone and she finally got to open her present from Mom, Dad and Tyler. Her very own pink Ipod. She was excited. Then yesterday we got to have a big party with Grandma's, Grandpa's, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. It was a great party. Everyone had lots of fun. Overall I think that her eighth birthday was great!

Summer's here!

Summer has officially arrived for the Gebben Family. How do you know? The beach. Two days in a row we went to the beach. I think that I could live on the beach and I think that Tyler could too! There is nothing better than sitting in the sand with a book or a shovel and the sun for a whole afternoon. The tans have a good start over here for the Gebben Family and we hope that yours do too!

Fishing!

Tyler got a new fishing pole last weekend and has been bugging Ryan all week to go fishing so he could try it out. Well, he finally got to go today. Off the went to Grandpa and Grandma Gebben's house to fish in the pond. As you can see from the pictures he caught a big one! So, now he has caught his first fish of the season and his pole works really good. Hopefully that fish isn't the last one of the season!

The baseball won!

Yesterday, Breyanna was playing catch with her Dad and her brother when she got into a fight with the baseball. I think that the baseball won. She busted open both lips and Ryan thought that she lost a tooth, till I reminded him that she was already missing that tooth! She feels a little better today, she stopped drooling at least. She even played at her ball game tonight! Overall, I think that she will remember to put the glove in front of her face next time!

Dancing Queen!

Our diva princess dancing queen had her dance recital yesterday. She was awesome! Not at all scared to be on stage and she remembered most of her moves. She is not really a graceful ballerina but she is definitely the hip hop queen. Thanks to everyone that made it to the show and for those that didn't we have a dvd on the way! I am sure that she will be glad to show you all her moment in the spotlight!
