Its been a few days

and some fun stuff has happened round here :) Mason had his church play and his school program, and Cam had his first birthday party! They all went really well, and hopefully I will get pics up eventually (they are on my new video camera, and I have not learned how to get them off yet!). The play and school program both made me laugh, it is very amusing to see that many kids try to be wrangled into something presentable, hehe.

Cam's birthday also went very well, not many people came, just Guy's parents, his grandmothers, my friend Stephanie and her boys and my friend Kassie. The other baby friends could not come for various reasons, so Cam and Caleb got to enjoy some cake :) And they did, greatly...they were both greasy and colored from the frosting and got to take a dunk in the tub. Cam really seemed to enjoy the people, and he even had fun tearing at some wrapping paper :)

Until last night, we had been able to avoid the snow the rest of the state was suffering from. It had been INSANELY cold and windy, but we did not have much snow at all...then last night it started snowing, and has yet to stop...we are up to about 6 inches right now. The wind is still around some too, blowing all this really light snow around and making drifts. And of course, we live in this tiny little town in BFE and the plows do not run on Sundays, so we are stuck inside....try being snowed in with Mason...not the most fun situation in the world...

We are all ready for Christmas around here All the presents are bought, most are wrapped, the tree and decorations are up, Mason does nothing but talk bout Santa and presents, and we are decorating Christmas cookies tomorrow. Stephanie is bringing her 3 boys over, so it should be a fun, sticky mess :) I am thinking ofter they decorate they should go out and play in the snow to burn off some of that sugar, lol. The plan for Christmas day is for Gary and Dodi to be here, hopefully that all works out with this crappy weather.....

OK, so that is my update...sorry there are no pics, I will work on it when I get some free time and a better computer. This one is having LOTS of problems, so I think I will wait for the new one to put the video camera program on...so, it may be a while, sorry...I may be able to get some from Steph though, I will look into that...

Cam's 1 year pics!

Realized I had not posted these yet, so here they are!

Busy Busy

Well, we have a busy little weekend coming up here in good 'ol Moses Lake. On Friday night I am headed out for a girls night out with a couple of ladies in the area, for Steph's birthday, I am really lookin forward to this! Should be loads of fun :) Then on Saturday (after I sleep of girls night) I am taking the boys up to get Santa pics done. After that I have to take Mason to play practice, because on Sunday he is in the Christmas play at church! How cute will that be? So on Sunday morning we will go to church and see the play, then at 1, we are having Cam's 1st birthday party! So, it should be a fun weekend, but I can guarantee by the end of it I am tired! :) Guy is currently working nights, which I though would be hard, but it is actually a little easier. He is home during a good part of the day, the boys are still semi pleasant, and there is actually time for him to spend with them because he is not wiped form work yet, plus, when he gets up around noon, there is so time for me to nap if I need to! Woo Hoo :)

Closing In

Well, it is the holiday season, and for me that means birthdays too :) We are swiftly closing in on Camden's first birthday, and I am actually finding that a little hard to deal with. I am not sure how a year has gone so quickly, yet seemed to drag at the same time...how does that work? Anyways, so we are doing Cam party in 10 days, wont be to many people, but I am ok with that, it will just be some family and close friends, which I pretty much consider family. Then of course we will do Christmas, which I have so not done ANY decorating for yet. Gary and Dodi will be here for that, but I will not see my parents, which is tough, but I understand.

...I am just missing people right now I think...Guy is working alot, so it is just me and the boys all day long and I have not got to visit Seattle in a while. I miss my family, with us being all over the place now, and I miss my friends. I have Stephanie, and thank God for that, I would probably go crazy without her, she is quickly becoming one of the best friends I have ever had :)...

then of course will be new years, and it will be 2009! Holy crap! that's insane :) And then Mason will be 4! How did I suddenly become a mother of a 4 year old? Wasn't he just a baby yesterday? And I am having a tough time with him right now...we finally got all the bed time stuff taken care of, and that is still going great, but he has a horrible attitude problem, and is CRAZY hyper. I am going to talk to his Dr about a bunch of stuff at his 4 year check, but I am going to start playing with his diet soon. I am going to get rid of fresh fruit first, cause it i loaded with sugar, yes I know it is natural, but still...then if that does not show a good improvement I am cutting out gluten. Which will be incredibly difficult, but I know some kids with gluten intolerances and they get crazy when they have it. If none of this works, I will start talking bout meds, because his craziness is starting to affect school and home life.

So that is my next adventure in life...along with starting school, fun fun...I am looking forward to school though, it will get me out of the house, get me interacting with other adults on an almost daily basis and let me do something for me for a while...Ok, well that was a big stinker of a post, but, I am feelin a little bit blah and alone right now, so here is where I can vent :) Love you all!

FAFSA forms

suck ass! That is really all I have to say bout that :) lol. For all you all who did not know, I am headin back to school! I have applied to the local CC here, and back at Shoreline. I am hoping to talk to both of them and figure out which works best for me...because I would be willing to go back to Seattle for a while to finish up. I am going to finish my transfer degree for education, and I would like to get it done before we move back to Spokane, because I can then transfer into the university and get my teaching certificate...I have been thinking about this alot, especially since almost loosing Guy last year. I do not know how I would have taken care of my boys if he had not recovered as well as he did; so I have to finish school, because I will not be put in that position again. So, wish me luck in finishing it all up quickly, even thought I have the boys to think about through all this too..not looking forward to figuring out babysitters and all that junk...oh well...love you all, and thanks for the support! (Rachel move back! I need a nanny! lol)
