Monday Monday can't trust that day..

Have you ever had one of those days you wish you could just redo? Today is my day. It started off good. Bryce woke up happy and rested. We enjoyed a nice breakfast together. Then Grant woke up happy and for once didn't spit up everywhere after I him. I thought hmm.. this is going to be a good day. Then every thing went sour. Bryce dumped out every toy he has, got into the cables (again), the phone kept ringing, Grant spat up every where and I ran out of cloths to catch it, and then the icing on my cake.... I ran an entire box of kleenex through the wash! You know how annoying it is when you don't catch a kleenex in a pocket and find bits all over the clothes? Well imagine that ten times worse and also finding bits of wet cardboard everywhere! I'm scared to open the dryer and see what I missed there.

So you are probably wondering how I didn't see the kleenex box. Well...it fell in the washer last night..I'm not in the habit of looking in the washer before putting clothes in because it is rarely left open! So there you have it. My day and it's only 2 pm!

I need a nap or a nice grande Mocha!

This weekend

This weekend we had a great visit from our friends from WA. John and Katie came with their son Jamie to see Grant and our new house. It was a great visit but much too short! Thanks for coming to see us! Here's the pictures of the fun we had. It was fun craming all of us in our van carseats and all.

Pictures pictures pictures!

Here's the picture update!


Auntie M and Uncle D's visit: Aug. 17-21st





Our new house we are renting. We moved Aug 30th




If you look closely you can see the playground in the back. Bryce loves the little orange car swing. I can hardly get him to come inside!

Sept 7th- Our baby turned one month old

I can't believe Grant is already a month and a half old. Ain't he cute?? As a newborn he and Bryce looked identical. I took a picture of Bryce as a newborn and Grant as a newborn and put them next to each other. Can you guess which is which? Add your guess to the poll.

Bryce or Grant?

Grant is such a good baby and loves to watch his brother play. You can tell though he wants to play too and is trying to roll over to get there. I'm so glad Bryce loves his brother too.

The short story

So I haven't blogged in a while. Life has been really busy. Here's the short story to catch you up. I will post pictures once I get my computer up and running.

The middle of August we had our second batch of company: My sister and brother in law. They came for my mom's surprise birthday party and got to meet Grant as well. The party was great fun. Grant of course was passed around and everyone took turns playing with Bryce. That gave me a chance to play volleyball..my favorite group game.

The end of August we moved into our own house. Yes, we moved out of my parents house. Bryce has done well with a new place to live..again. He especially loves the back yard swing set. We are renting the house from a couple my parents know from church.

With this move it meant no internet for a couple of weeks, unless I drove the 4 miles to my parents house and used their internet. It took 2 weeks to get ours hooked up and find our computer and get it set up.

So now you are caught up. Grant is one month old and doing well. No not sleeping through the night but is getting on schedule. Bryce is 16 months and has most of his teeth. He talks alot now and uses sign language for the words he doesn't know. He loves having his own space and especially loves visiting Oma and Opa. (whether it be their house or ours)
