Week 41

Week 40 -- October 1- October 7

So I obviously haven't been that great about keeping up with each week... Hate that I can't figure out how to find the dates of photos on my phone.. I am proud of myself however that now all of the photos I take on my phone "magically" appear on my iPad!!! I also purchased Pages today as an attempt to try to scrapbook on it too...

This week marked the boys first day at our new daycare -- they have been there before but it is a different feeling knowing this is their new place-- Mason had been at Amanda's for over three years!!

It also marked 4 trips to the doctor/ER in 4 days... Ugh!! Thursday - Chase -- ear infection. Friday chase fell while walking at daycare and thought he bit through his lip so took him in to make sure he didn't need stitches-- thankfully he didn't!!!! Saturday mason spiked a fever of 104.2-- I brought him in and now he is on an antibiotic for strep throat... Just hope mom and dad keep feeling OK!

Since both boys have been feeling under the weather this weekend was pretty low key for us. Went to my moms for dinner and to celebrate my brothers birthday!

Going to go to bed... Want to rest u to make sure I'm not sick next!!!!

I have had the honor of attending a national conference for children's mental health this week in Orlando, Florida. Hard to enjoy though due to issues going on back at the office...
Conference is at the Gaylord -- wow! Beautiful hotel, although I can't help think of how "better" all of this money could have been spent in services for the families we all serve...

Bobby has been working at the ND state fair; he will be home Sunday and me tomorrow! I am missing all 3 of my boys! Can't wait to bring them both to the fair Sat and Sunday.

I have been reading like a crazy woman this summer, which is HUGE for me as I have not been a "reader" since high school (and haven't really read by choice since elementary-- I think all the books I read trying to win "kid who read the most books" in 5th grade really burned me out!). Just this month have read 2 of the "50 shades" books which I'm a little embarrassed today I read, but skipping all of the sex stuff, it really is a social-worky book. I also read the second Girl with a Dragon Tattoo book, & Heaven is for Real.. I also started Unlimited by Jillian Michaels--- and am LOVING it! There's even a little workbook to go along. Awesome!

Week 28 (July 16- July 22)

It has been a hot but beautiful week! Had Thursday off this week to go to Fargo... Got to enjoy a Caesar at ruby Tuesday's with my friend Jess on my way back home! Excited for a short work week next week as I am going to Florida for a training ...

Been trying to enjoy time outside - spending time at the pool and WONDERFUL BRAND NEW playground equipment at the park by our house! Love having a park so close to our house-- and love that it's been pretty quiet and have had the place to ourselves!

Sunday we went to my moms to celebrate her birthday-- happy birthday mom!!

Week 27 (July 9-15)

I officially have an 11-month old! I cannot believe Chase is already almost ONE yr old!

Week 26 (July 2- July 8, 2012)

We have really been busy almost every day for the longest time-- I wish I would write down what we did each day on a calendar to remember it all-- the plan was to "remember" eAch week by updating our "virtual project life" every Sunday but that just hasn't been happening!!

On the 3rd Bobby's friend Jay was up from UTAH and came to visit us!

On the 4th we had our annual fireworks display at our house-- so fun to have our little neighborhood over! Our display was cut a little short; however due to one of the fireworks misfiring!! I'm posting now in hopes one day we will look back and have a good laugh about it all! We are just so thankful that no one was hurt.

On Saturday Bobby and I were able I have a little getaway to Mpls - just is two! Soo grateful for my brother who came and watched the boys! I spent the day on the beach in Big Lake while Bobby played in a poker tournament and after we stayed @ the Alfoft hotel and went to a delicious dinner at Oceanaire! So fun to walk around together. We had even planned on getting tattoos but couldn't when we arrived due to not enough time-- :(

Week 25 (June 25 - July 1)

Week 24 (June 18-June 24)

This has already been a busy week - lots of pictures to share! ((I STILL haven't figured out how to put the pictures with more than 1 per line))  I have been using my iphone to take the majority of my pictures these days, but looking at these pictures makes me realize I wished I would remember to use my "real" camera more often -- (haven't had time to edit any of these-- instagram is so much easier!)

 

 

Monday night we went to my mom's for dinner - my grandpa and Arliene were up from St. Cloud to visit everyone, and my Aunt Gwen was there too. So much fun to visit with everyone - it was only my grandpa's SECOND time meeting Chase - a perfect night for him to start learning to walk! Mason learned to walk using the exact same "walker" - push along, go too fast, fall down, repeat....

Tuesday night was my work picnic - Mason got to see the inside of "mommy's courthouse." He kept asking me where the play room was. Sadly, I dont have one! He then told me he was going to work at "Daddy's national guard office when I grow bigger and bigger." Hmm... wonder if there's a play room there that I don't know about??? :)

Last night my friend Stacy stopped by with her son's new puppy -- Mason was in LOVE. Chase wasn't too sure... the puppy wasn't too sure either!

Tonight my brother is coming over to watch the boys so I can to go Bobby's softball game! So excited to go as I haven't been able to go yet this year! And what a BEAUTIFUL evening - I hope the rain stays away -

Tomorrow is Friday - hurray! I'm going to try to leave work a little early to take the boys to the pool - it is always so nice during the week and rainy on the weekends - I think that this weekend might be our only "free" weekend in quite a while and FOR quite a while.

Hoping to do nothing but RELAX in the SUN!

Oh how I love the business and go-go-go of summer!
