rainy days

Oh how I love Oregon but hate the rain! I want some sunshine! I can't believe Aden is 18 months today! Time flies so fast! He loves to read books and tear out the towels! He's also discovered that he can stand on his rocking horse, 4 wheeler, or John Deere Tractor and climb onto things, such as the couch, chaise, and his toy box. He is so full of energy. :) Tony and I have been together for 8 years!! Married for 3 1/2, whew but he's the love of my life!! He is really thinking about being a cop, but I'm not so found of the idea. I know he should do what he wants, but I just can't think of something happening to him, and I'm all alone to raise our kids. I'm just not sure of what I should do. I do know that he needs to talk to someone to see what he needs to do, to start pursing it, if that's what he wants to do. I'm so excited in April we are taking a family (Allen side) trip to the beach! His parents, brother, and wife and daughter, and us!! A weekend away, and with the family should do us some good. We need some good laughs. We've been stressed with money, and doing the bathroom, contacting lawyers. Urg, the list never ends, but this is just a speed bump in the road, we can get over this and we will.

it's been a while...

Aden is getting so smart and soo big really fast!! He knows where to put his toys, find his shoes, get his snacks! He is such a joy to have! He has discovered that he can now climb on the couch by himself, which could be scary! And he's becoming very vocal! Where now quite sure what he's saying, but one day we will. And he got his first haircut! We just trimmed very little off the top and made it even on the bottom. And he did amazing! Sat there the whole time, while nana trimmed his hair.
Tony and I are doing great. Working and watching Aden that's our life. We just got a treadmill from our parents, so I can start walking/running now. It's hard to do with Aden and Chewy! But I'm determined to make it work. We finally got our car back, it's so hard to have one vehicle when we both work either the same shift or overlap a few hours. I don't like to have to relay on other people, I just feel like a burden to them, even though I know I'm not. We do plan on adding another baby to our family sometime within the next year or so. But it is harder for me to get pregnant than most, due to my seizure medication and the fact that I've had 2 miscarriages. (Which I would never wish upon my enemy!). It's a horrible feeling. Other than that, I'm just trying to get into shape and more fit. :)
