A New BLOG , YAY

so, this isn't a very interesting blog, but it's been forever since there's been one at all. We turned off our AT&T internet and phone, because they are ridiculous and charged as about $100 a month more than we were supposed to be charged...hey, we're poor and that's just wrong!! Anyhow, that's why I have no internet and no blogging. We're trying to kick the moving thing into gear...we can move into our new trailer any time now...if I could just make myself pack. School's going alright...I though I did terrible on my last math test, but ended up getting a 95%...so, i'm satisfied. I'm at the school library right now using their internet...I was studying for my Biology test, but information stopped actually entering my brain, it was just going in one ear and out the other (so to speak). M is being wonderful as always, she's talking more and can mimick words pretty well when she feels like it. She throws fits every once in awhile which is actually very amusing to me! She gets mad and sorta runs/waddles away from me, yelling, and then stops, usually hits the floor a couple times with her hands, or stops at a wall or piece of furniture, hits it, and then looks back at me angrily...It looks really funny. Then she's done. She's growing up way too fast for me...I'm starting to want another one. ::gasp:: But, I can't quite convince myself to try yet. Halloween is coming up and the Fall Family Festival held at my aunt and uncle May's house -- it's awesome and I can't wait!! I don't know what J and I are going to be though...M is gonna me a pumpkin. Then there's Christmas, which I love, but I am so poor that gift giving has kinda lost it's fun. Actually gift-giving is still excellent, it's the gift buying that isn't fun. That's all that's happening around here. C-ya.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

back to school

We had a great trip up to Idaho for a family reunion (J's side of the family) after a short camping trip with some of my family in Iowa (not family from Iowa, just where we met up). We've been pretty busy and summer has disappeared. It didn't help that I had summer classes,and only 3 weeks off. We got to do some rough scouting in Colorado, to see where we might likely live when we finally move. Quite a few good stories, but I split them up. When we were in Colorado Springs we decided to go to Seven Falls - where they told us the Mountain elevator is broken, so they will take $1 off our admissions. We agreed, not minding 185 steps....wait, what did J just agree to? So we went to climb said stairs, which were small, and steep and seemed to go on forever; about half way up - the first set of stairs - M gets tired of climbing (we saw this coming,and I didn't blame her, I was tired too!) so I take E from J and J picks up M (he's stronger after all). We push ourselves th...
halloween was lots of fun. we went to the Family Fall Festival at Aunt N's. M had lots of fun being dressed up...as a witch! She was adorable, and I appologize, but I have no pics. I completely forgot to bring my camera. Hopefully I can steal some from Aunt N. M had a skirt with fiber optics on it that lit up different colors, and she wore glow sticks as well. She had a cute witch hat, orange tights with bats, and a black shirt that says "my magic power is being cute." She even won the costume contest and got delicious Choxie chocolates as a prize. The chocolates were really cool actually because they were little cups of chocolate, made out of chocolate, with different flavors of soft chocolate in the middle...like caramel, pistachio, milk choco...etc. CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE!! We are really enjoying them. there is only one left actually. Oh, and I finally got everything finalized on the Buick my mom sold me, so now it is officially mine, tags and title!...
