YIPPEE!! More blogging to come, but I am done with school until August and found a free nanny for the summer for trade off of her not sitting in front of the TV at her Grandma's house.
Life couldn't be better (yes it could...Casey could be home for more than a week then life would be grand!
Good night!

THANK YOU FOR VOTING!!!
I entered Patton into a B107.3 contest for “Baby Idol.” Of course we think all our children are cute and they are…but we really did it for the prizesJ (and to support our thinking that Patton is pretty cute). What are the prizes…300 to Kid Stuff Super Store, Savings bond ( I think 400), 400 photo package and 4 person pass to Adventure Land. As many of you know that Casey has been gone about every other week beginning in March with his trip to Greece for 3 weeks and then 1 week trips every other week for his new job. This will continue up until October…then he is gone for 6 weeks for more schooling. We have a three week break from his trips in June that we could potentially go on a vacation AS A FAMILY. What a more perfect place than Adventure Land!!! We desperately need to have family time with all of us and this trip to Adventure Land would be just what we need. So I know there are several people out there with cute kids…but do they have a dad that is gone a lot for the military? Thank you for passing this on to anyone and everyone you know to mark their calendars for June 2nd. Note to self…if you have more than one email address you can vote with everyone of them!!!
I know this isn’t anything like getting 2nd at State Track…but there is a lot more at stake than a measly silver/gold medal (kidding!!) Thanks to all of you and your friends for voting for Patton at www.b107.3.com we MADE IT TO THE FINALS.
Mark your calendar (and know that I will be sending out reminder emailsJ) for June 2nd to the 11th to vote every day with every email address you have!
Thanks again for voting and if you go to http://www.b1073.com/home.htm you can see Mr. Patton himself in the winner’s bracket.
Thanks again and THINK JUNE 2nd!
Rhiannon and Patton

Who's Who of the Kenner Grandchildren
Can you tell who is who? Kenner vs. Rylan
For the exception of coming into this world a whole 1/2 of Kenner...
Rylan, you do resemble each other a bit when you were both little:)

TAGGED
I have never been tagged before and not sure exactly what it is...but here it goes:
What was I doing 10 years ago? I was a just finishing up my first year of college at the University of Nebraska Lincoln and preparing to go over to Slovakia for the summer to visit my former foreign exchange student Lucia Kossarova.
5 things on today’s to do list:
- Spring clean Casey's "hobby" closet
- Play outside with the boys, because it is finally nice
- Potty train Kenner
- Clean my house
- Pay bills
5 snacks I enjoy:
- Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi (I know it isn't a snack...but it is to me!)
- Chips and homemade salsa
- Chocolate Chip cookies that the boys and I make
- Gummy bears (on the brain because that is the reward for going potty)
- String Cheese or Cheese Cubes
5 things I would do if I became a billionaire:
- Pay off all bills
- Pay someone to finish all our projects
- Live nicely in the house that we do now
- Not have to worry about buying something...i.e. buying brand name foods vs. the cheapest brands
- Pay it forward to someone else.
5bad habits:-
- drinking too much pop (4 kidney stones:))
- starting a project before finishing another one
- not being able to say No to helping people out
- not fastening my seat belt immediately when I get in the car.
- blogging when I should be doing a million other things!
Pet Peeves:
- not picking up after yourself
- not finishing a project
- gossip
- negative attitudes
places I’ve lived:
- Hebron (moved a gazillion times)
- UNL - Sandoz 203, Alpha Omicron Pi
- with my Aunt Kendra in two different places
- on a farm with Casey (our first rental house)
- Sprague - our first house down the hill and NOW our current house "the fixer-upper"
5 jobs I’ve had:
- Speech Language Pathologist for Crete Public Schools - Preschool, K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th for 5 years
- Mom and Wife
- Nanny for the Walker's in Lincoln
- Subway sandwich artist in the UNL Union
- Chef/bar cook at the Brand X Saloon in Hebron (I could cook a mean prime rib!)
I am tagging Crissy, Chris B, Annie (you were tagged by Tay too) , Megan. Enjoy!
If anyone else that reads this also has a blog...please let me know so that I can add you to my list! THANKS!

SVITAK BOYS MEET THE WIGGLES!

Like my new look?
How do you like my new look? I was able to get a blog makeover by www.announcethis.us
Check her out! She is awesome!
Rhi
Check her out! She is awesome!
Rhi
Our new cousin Rylan!
Okay Annie and Jeremy...I am blogging about your baby before you are! I guess I can say I am the proud Aunt and will get to brag first about my adorable new nephew - Rylan (like Ryan with an L) Scott Richardson.
Rylan's name is Olive(r) before he entered this world, so I made t-shirts for all the boys. Kenner wanted a girl, so his said, "I want Olive" with a bow on the olive. Patton's said, "I want Oliver" and Rylan's just had the olives on it.
Imagine my life with three children evenly spaced out...this picture is what you would see! BOY am I glad that God blessed Jeremy and Annie with a new addition 15 months after Patton than blessing me! AMEN!
Patton isn't sure about this whole baby thing
Patton: Oh! This is the kid we were celebrating his birth at 1:45 - 3:30 am on Friday morning?
Kenner was talking with Rylan...it was adorable!
Welcome to the fam Rylan! I love you already!

PLAYING FETCH with the animals from the vet's office...THIS WAS HILLARIOUS!!! 1st get the bones from the mailbox
2nd throw the bones out for the dog to fetch
3rd take the dog to fetch the bones. As you can see the dog is about as big as Kenner. He really did get the dog's mouth to bite the bone, then he picked it up and took it back to me. I was rolling on the ground laughing!
Shopping at Kid's Super Saver
Playing in the Husker area
Kenner was making sure the cow had something to drink, because everyone was getting milk from him!
Bubbi sitting and wanting a nap as we finished the museum!

Hope you all have a great Heart Day! I know our morning has sure been filled with sugar and fun already! Love Kenner and Patton

Happy Birthday Aunt Annie!
For your birthday Annie...I updated my blog. I hope the pancakes at Grandma Jackie's were good and the movie went well!
Happy Birthday!
Kenner, Patton, and Mommy
I got to stay home today because I have bit of the intestinal flu and am not feeling the best!

Snow fun!
Kenner loves to eat the snow off the bottoms of his shoes when he gets in the car to go to and from daycare...so yesterday we had a 1/2 snow day so we had peaches and snow for morning snack.
Here Kenner is serving up his brother's portion.
Here he is saying, "Cottage Cheese" instead of the normal "Cheese"...which I think is hillarious!
Here Bubbi was reading by himself very nicely until I got out the camera and drew attention to him. Then Mister came over and decided that he would read as well.
"Excuse me Mom...can't you see I am reading here and my brother is annoying me" Patton says in body language.
Here I tried to get a picture of just Bubbi...but as you can see some one else thought it was important to get in the picture too. He said, "Cottage cheese"again...so funny!
