WOO HOO VACATION

I'm goin to Idaho, I'm goin to Idaho....da da da, la la la....
I'm so excited. J, M and I are all leaving on Saturday morning to fly to Idaho! not to mention my sister Erin will also be arriving that day! And who will be there to greet us? Mom and Emily!!! YAY!!! (although I will sadly note Megan and my neices, and of course Jason, will not be there)
I love my family! I'm pretty sure they know that... but just in case - I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I miss everyone so much because we all live so far apart. It's a very sad story. But every once in a while we get to get together and it's worth the world to me! AHHH!!! I want to scream I'm so excited. I am stressing myself out though, trying to get everything in order and ready. J tries to be helpful, but mostly he's only good for taking care of his stuff ( he kinda just gets in the way of everything else, but I appreciate the effort.) It is incredible how much harder it is to just get one baby packed, much less myself. It is even more amazing how much stuff one baby needs - fortunatley Emily has a lot of friends with babies, so it cuts down my load some - no high chair needed, no extra toys or entertainment to bring, she even offered baby food (which of course M refuses to eat now)- but still...babies! goodness!!

Today, while trying to get everything ready, M still needs all her attention. So she was fussing that I was neglecting that fact, until I had no choice but to sit down with her. At some point I decided to sing the ABC's to her. I don't sing it often enough, so she made me make it up to her today. After I finished my first round, she sat and smiled a minute, and then made the hand sign for 'more'. So I sing it again. 'more' she says. So I sing it again. 'more'. again. 'more'. again. finally I told her "there is no more, it ends with Z." Thank goodness she was content to stare at the fish for awhile.

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!...
