Memorial Day Weekend/Birthday

We went camping for memorial day weekend. We had a blast and a relaxing time too. Friday it was horrible since it rained all day! When we got there, it had let up a bit, so we were getting unload and tents and the motor home parked. Aden ran through all the mud puddles he could, and tried to splash everyone he could! I didn't mind, knowing I had extra clothes, and it would be wet. He loved it, someone would say stay away from the puddle Aden, he would throw his hands in the hair and run for it as fast as he could! Saturday was nice, no rain, and we stayed outside by the campfire most of the day. We did make occasional trips to the playground and let him play. We also got him trucks, football and other toys to play with outside, so he was pretty occupied. Sunday was my birthday, and we had cupcakes to celebrate. :) I also got lucky enough, not to have to change Aden at all or really deal with him, it was nice, but I missed it. :( But I have him all week to myself! I need to back off, in a sense, and let other people help us. I don't want Aden to grow and think that his parents are the only ones he has, to talk to, or lean on. And that he has awesome family around that will do anything for him. :) So in all we had a great weekend! :)

why???

Aden goes for his "hearing test" on Thursday. The doc. just wants to make sure everything is good, although he does what he is told, most of the time. They are doing a bunch of different other test too, and it's an hour and a half! Wow, hopefully they can keep his focus. And for the most part its just because he isn't really talking. Of course he did everything late, rolling over, crawling, walking etc. So why should he be talking on time?
I've been down the last couple days, I'm not sure why, but am sure why. We've been trying to have our second baby now for 6 to 7 months! Everyone says the second one happens sooner! Really?! We tried for 2 years to get pregnant with Aden, and I've had 2 miscarriages! Talk about ripping someone's heart out!! I thought I'd never have kids, and when I was pregnant I was excited but not really, because there was always a thought I'd lose the baby anytime. So I didn't get excited until he was out and crying and I realized he was mine and OK. But it seems everyone else around me is pregnant or just had a baby, why can't I be? I really believe in everything happens for a reason and has a time, but I would like it to be now. :) I don't want our kids to be to far apart in age, in fact I wanted them 18 to 20 months apart. I'm super close to my sissy Heather and were 352 days apart, not even a year! And I loved that growing up, going through everything together, knowing I would have someone to lean on. And I have Tony to lean on now, but why? Not everyone gets where I'm coming from, and sometimes Tony doesn't either. Anyways enough blabbing about me, it's off to bed for work in the morning.

Mother's Day!!

Unfortunately Tony had to work a mid day shift. So it was Aden and me. It started out with Tony buying me breakfast from McDonald's and a Starbucks. (he tried) We had a quick breakfast together before he left for work. We then went to Dave and Angie's for a family bbq!! The weather was great, so Aden played with all the kids. He had a hard time keeping up with the older ones, he's got the shortest legs! But he did sleep in today!! :) We surprised my mother-in-law with a picture of all of us kids and grand kids!! She loved it!! We got my mom a bunch of tulips she can transplant if she wants! We will be bbq'ing with them on Saturday, along with our birthday's. (Since were all born in may!) All in all it was a great day, good food, visiting with family, and spending the evening with my 2 favorite boys!! Whom I love very much!! :)

a lit bit of this and that

I'm super excited for this week. Tony is actually working morning shifts, all but 2 days, which he has to close! :( But I'm excited to have evenings as a family! He has applied to Costco, since he can walk in as a PIC. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! One he will be 5 minutes from home, we will be saving a ton on gas. And he won't be having a flip flop schedule! And hopefully set days off. If all goes well he may be able to move up the ladder quicker and become a department head!! Which in turn, I wouldn't have to work, but I would a couple days a week, just to keep our insurance and pay off some debt. :)
Tony has meet with some lawyers on our "bathroom" issues, and it is going to come down to our decision on what to do. One says go ahead you have a case, the other says take them to small claims court. We decided to meet with our real estate people and get there take on it. We've also pondered giving them another chance and seeing actually how low we can get a bid for, if we do demolition and the sheet rock our selves. We watched a lot of DIY Network. And know that if you do a lot it will bring down the cost. So we will see what the decision comes down too. And we've decided that when we move again in 4 to 10 years, it will be back out to Estacada! I miss it, all our family and friends are out there. :) And all our babysitters!!
