School

These pictures were taken in April 2007

Myself, Jenny (?), Jenny (my cousin), Nomi, and Gretchen

It's kind of fun that over two years later our kids are playing together.

Aidan's been going to "school" while we're here visiting family.

so he's been able to play with the other kids his age

and he's loving it.

Matthew (Gretchen's)

Charlie (Nomi's)

Poor Charlie, he misses his mom

Ava (Jenny's)

Aidan has/ had so much fun that when I went to pick him up after all the other kids had left, he was still playing and didn't want to leave.

House Update #78498

Mmmm, mmmm, mmm... jealousy.

This is my aunt Teresa's house that's been in the process of being built for .....awhile. :-)

Entryway.

I liked the wall sconces

I like the bay window too. This is in the living area.

Office and bedroom (?) The carpet guy thinks he's funny.

Another bedroom and master bathroom. I forgot to get a picture of the main bathroom

Master Bedroom

Enter major jealousy!

The kitchen

We're having fun...

We miss dad, but we're keeping busy and having fun.

We went and visited Kenneth while he was working at the library.

I checked out books like Nighttime Parenting, Raising A Strong Willed Child, and How to Live with Kids. Ok, not really, I only checked out Nighttime Parenting since we'd had a particularly bad night the night before. That book was a little hippy dippy for me though.

Zorro, mom's new baby.

Dad found him nearly dead (frozen) down at the dairy and brought him to mom. Although, part of his tail is dead and just fell off yesterday, as well as part of his ear.

Sharon took these with my camera during the weekend. I thought they were funny.

So, on Sunday I decided that I'd go home with Kenneth and Sharon and hang out with the family for the week, since Cary was going to be coming out on the weekend anyway.

Aidan gave me a heart attack yesterday. I let him outside and he went over to Greg and Lois' to look for "Gramma"

I ran back inside to get Ella and the diaper bag

When I came back outside, Aidan was halfway up the nearby slide (which is REALLY high!). He wasn't moving so I knew he was scared. I started running towards him and I was about 10 ft away when he let go or something and fell.

Thankfully, he just ended up with a mouthful of dirt, and some light bruising and scratches on the side of his face.

Hopefully he learned a lesson, cause, YIKES! I don't want to do that again.

It's been awhile

In short:

1. I bought my new camera. Yay. (Canon Rebel T1i) I haven't had much time to play around with it, but I think I'm going to like it. ;o)

2. Kenneth and Sharon visited us last weekend and I'm pretty sure I gained a good 8 pds with all the good food we ate. (Their ONE request was that we fit in Cafe Rio and Olive Garden during the weekend)
