In an effort to be a little less white trash coach potato-like (refer to Dad and Jake above), we are taking on a fitness challenge. It is the goal of the Funkhouser family to walk 100 miles between Memorial Day and Jake's birthday (August 12th). We also plan to run 10 miles in that time frame as well. To some of you seasoned fitness fanatics it may not sound like that big of a deal. The catch is that ALL of us (including Kenna) will be walking and running together. It is not a cumulative goal...the miles will be completed as a family, not separate and added together. We'll keep you posted on our progress. Have a great extended weekend!Thursday, May 21, 2009

Sick of Being Sick
This is what you will find in our house right now...lots and lots of germs! Visitors beware!
We know it has been awhile and there are still no new pictures! Mom could have posted some photos with Santa, but that would have been a little out of season, don't you think?! Anyway, just to catch you up on our household...this is our current health report. Mom has been sick since March 17th. Well, actually before then, but that was the first day she went to the doctor. At that time, they said she had an upper respiratory infection, double ear infection, and sinus infection. She had to take an antibiotic and some really good cough medicine with something that helped her sleep (she says she really misses that cough syrup). She finished her medicine and didn't get any better. She went back to the doctor just before spring break and had to start another antibiotic. Well, needless to say, she started having a lot of problems with her asthma, which hasn't bothered her since before she and dad got married. She went to a specialist for her asthma and had to start taking some new inhalers and stuff to help her. He said she will have to take the inhalers for the rest of her life, just like a diabetic would have to take insulin. Anyway, mom got really sick on Sunday and couldn't breathe. It was scary and dad had to take her to the emergency room to get a breathing treatment. The doctor there said she has bronchitis. So, she is now on another antibiotic, Prednisone, and Singular to help with her asthma. She also got another inhaler. She goes back to the specialist on Friday to see if her lung functioning is improving. Even though she is having trouble breathing, she has still been walking after school with her friends. They usually walk from mom's school to Deming Park and back. Enough about mom...now on to us. Owen has another ear infection and upper respiratory infection. The doctor thinks he may be allergic to milk. He is going Monday (5/11) to see a specialist for his ears in Indy. They think tubes are probably necessary. mom said we can wait until after vacation for those so she doesn't have to miss any more work. Yesterday, mom had to pick Owen and Kenna up from daycare because we were both throwing up. Kenna had thrown up the night before all over Owen because "Owen makes me sick and makes me have to throw up". Spoken like a true little sister. Kenna now also has an upper respiratory infection. We both got to stay home from school today with dad. Jake and Syd are okay, for now. Keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way. Sorry, Auntie E, we know how much you hate this kind of "blogging". We will try to keep it short and sweet with pictures next time.

Warm Wishes
Sorry, we have no pictures to post today. We just wanted to take the opportunity to tell our OLD Auntie E and Uncle Bucky HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY! The sad thing is that they are Mom's younger brother and sister. We think they are old, so that makes Mom really old. We hope you each have a great birthday and we will see you soon!
Also, we would like to tell our 17 year old cousin Matt that we hope he gets better quick. Matt had to have emergency surgery late last night in Chicago for a bacterial infection. He had an infection that settled into his hip which had to be cleaned up. The surgery lasted longer than it was supposed to because they had to go into the sack around his hip and clean it out as well. He will be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days and will have to work with a pain management doctor. We hope he is okay and makes a speedy recovery.
Check back late Wednesday night for some new pictures (which cannot be released until we get the okay from someone...we'll explain when we post them)!

Introducing...
Our new puppy, Kurt Cobark (yes, he is a tribute to a certain deceased singer). We got our puppy last Wednesday and he is so CUTE! Sorry our pictures aren't that great, but he likes to wiggle around a lot.
Kurt is a Miniature Schnauzer. We had to give him a German name and Jake came up with Kurt Cobark. Mom says it's kind of funny and appropriate because Honey and Daddy Earl had a Schnauzer when she was little named Kurt.
This dog is so spoiled! Did we tell you he has his own jacket and snow boots? He also has a ton of toys and treats. Mom and Dad even let him sleep in their bed at night. He's such a good boy.
He is just a little lap dog who loves to sit with us and have us scratch his belly. Dad is taking him to the vet this morning, so we will be able to tell you how much he weighs and everything later. Kurt can't wait to meet everyone!

First Snow of the Year
We are getting our first real snow as I type. We had a light dusting of snow Sunday morning when we woke up, but it was all gone by 10:00. These pictures are views from Mom's windows at school. Do you think her kids are getting much done today? Not only are they back from break, but they have snow to distract them as well.
It is pretty. To our loyal readers, be sure to check back tomorrow for information on our early Christmas present. Mom and Dad gave us our present early. We got it last Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). Check back to see pictures and hear all about it!Monday, November 24, 2008
Dad Breaks Up A Family
I'm sure you are familiar with the movie Bambi. You know, cute little woodland animals playing and happy until the big, mean hunter takes Bambi's mother out. Well, here is a happy family picture before Sunday morning's bloodbath.
Jake checks out Bambi's father and his uncle, laying dead in Jeremy's truck.
Jake is holding the rack of the one Dad killed.
Check out his tongue. Doesn't it make you hungry for a nice, juicy piece of deer meat?
Kenna wants nothing to do with the deer. She realizes that a woodland family has been torn apart.
Just so you know, Dad and Jeremy are not so bad after all. They donated both of these deer to feed the poor.

We Promise...
If we have any loyal readers left, we promise that there will be an "official" post this weekend. We have enjoyed our time off, but need to put our nose back to the grindstone. We will let you know what we've been up to by updating you this weekend.
