It's been awhile since I've blogged. Oh I have LOTS of excuses. I definitely blame several other people and things for my lack of bloggingness. It couldn't be that I'm just plain lazy could it? Nooooooo.... Anyways so here I am. Hopefully you have been lazy and spending all of your time with your new shiny friends on facebook, and have just recently come back to blogger to check on the Kingsburys. You probably don't even notice that I haven't put up anything interesting in weeks.

If that is the case just ignore the first paragraph and lets move on...

Sooo what have the crazy Kingsbury's been up to lately? Well we have been taking advantage of the few days of spring that nature hits us with in the last few months of winter. Doing the park thing and generally just trying to get Ryan outside to run off some of his limitless energy. We went to Columbia for Grandmother Obley's birthday and even ate some cake. I love cake yum.

My computer took a crap on me so I've built a new one. I've gone back to the desktop instead of the fancy laptop so I can work on it again if it breaks. The new computer is sweet and is setup and running great.

We are planning a trip to Tampa Bay in April, we have some ideas like Busch Gardens and a fun water park but mainly we just want to enjoy some sun and sand. This winter with it's 60 degrees in the morning 18 degrees by that night bullcrap has really gotten me in the mood to more seriously explore my retirement options in Florida (11 1/2 years and counting).

Ryan is growing up so fast. He probably has a 100 word or more vocabulary now. He knows and can say words like screwdriver, balloon, milk, chocolate (he says this a lot!), jacket, night night, please, thank you, Elmo, train, fire truck, and big bird. He is very proud of himself and loves to put on a show of all the cool animal noises he knows like monkey, elephant, snake, pig, cow, lion (ROAR!), and chicken. If he sees the Cookie Monster in a book he's reading he will grab the book and chew on the pages. If he sees an ice cream cone in a picture he will try to lick the picture. When he gets home he takes his own coat off and puts it on the couch where daddy and mommy keep their coats. He loves to give kisses and big hugs and his big toothy smile is almost completely full of teeth.

I've been missing Europe a bit now that we've been gone awhile. I would like to bring Jessi back sometime when she doesn't have to work, the kid(s) are a bit older, and we can enjoy a slow pace and spend time just exploring. I think about all of the cool architecture and how neat it was to live next to the Thames and Buckingham Palace. The parks there are so immaculate and perfect for kids. I also really wish I had more time to explore the Tuscany part of Italy ,and I think I may have left part of my soul in the south of France. One day I will go back even if I have to drag Jess back kicking and screaming ;)

Speaking of Jessi, she is feeling better and is starting to get a little baby belly. The new babies name will be Seth and the pregnancy is progressing perfectly. We've all had colds recently and are finally getting healthy though Ryan and I still have a dry cough and he has a runny nose (it may have something to do with that new tooth trying to poke it's way into his mouth).

I've finally taken the plunge and have a profile on facebook. I've been posting pictures there because it's sooo much easier than blogger. I didn't plan on ever signing up on another social networking site after myspace but I'm enjoying facebook and it was very easy to set up and I already have 172 people I know from work, church, school on my friends list.

Seth's room is moving right along, we have all the furniture setup and some cute elephant, monkey, giraffe stuff on the walls. We will be putting the finishing touches on it as soon as I can get Jess motivated to motivate me into doing it.

Please put Hayes Mayo on your prayer list. He has terminal cancer and has been in the ICU a few times in the last couple of weeks. He is Sam Ransom's dad and a great guy. He has been very helpful to me with computer stuff and with tips for running Rob's PC Service when I was still doing that. He has lost over 70 lbs and is doing chemo every week. Pray for a miracle, pray for his family, just please help us pray.

On a happier note, March 21st is our next LAN party at our buddy Jim Brooks place in Independence. We are definitely looking forward to doing a little killin' next weekend!

I'm sure I've forgotten about 100 things we've been up to but this is probably more than enough reading material for you anyways ;)

God Bless!
