update



I haven't blogged in forever and now I don't remember what I wanted to share. July was really busy for me, and August is only letting up a little bit. J and I went and took hunters ed together, so now I am a smart hunter! Only i'm not a hunter yet. This weekend is our 2nd anniversary, and the weekend after that is J's birthday, and the weekend after that...I don't remember but there's something. I've been naseaus a lot lately, but fortunately I have not actually had to throw up. It's just really annoying to feel like crud all the time. Hopefully it will end after 3 months...

You know how you can fake cry and pout to a kid and they will fell bad and give in to what you want?...Like, "M, can I have a kiss?" "no, momma." and then I will pretend to be sad and cry...well you know what m's response is? "Momma need a nap." hmmm....where have I heard that before?

M is talking really well now...at least I think so. She talks a lot more now, tells stories, etc. If you ask her what color something is she will tell you 'I don't know' but if she names the color of something voluntarily she will get it right at least 80% of the time. She says no a lot now, but usually still do what she is supposed to. The pictures are from the 4th of July.

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!...
