Just a quick note

Well I lost my password for my blog and I have been to lazy/busy to do anything about it until now. I am currently at work so I can't access my pictures from the really fun trip to NYC I went on with my mom and kids.

The kids are doing fine Triston will be starting 2nd grade (wait can he be that old already?) and Keegan is just 3 days shy of making the age cut for preschool. Both boy's are little artist's, I guess it runs in the family. They love to color! Triston likes to draw and make books, lots of books. Keegan likes to color in coloring books and on himself, he is his own canvas, at least he stay's in the lines. Since it's summer now we have been to the pool a few times and Triston is getting braver all the time...the kid just gets so cold!! When we were at our hotel in NYC the pool was heated (nice and warm) and Triston was a fish, he was swimming all over. Okay so he doesn't have any strokes down at all but he was moving his arms and legs and swimming underwater. I was a nervous wreck. He looked like he was drowning everytime he would do this so I would grab him after a few seconds and he would get mad at me. He'd say "Mom I'm swimming here!" Keegan just sticks to blowing bubbles. When asked what his favorite part of swimming is he say's "Getting out!"

I still have my great job at Sempertoons where I work on Saturday's. It works out perfectly. Ian has changed jobs in the marine corps. He went from orders writer to reserve affairs whatever that means. He really likes his new job which means he is a little less crabby! Well thats everything for now. I will try to get on this week and post about our trip. HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

SNOW

Two weeks ago we got a bunch of snow. It was gone in a couple of days but before it was the boys went out in the backyard and had a blast playing in it.

TRISTON EATING THE SNOW

KEEGAN EATING THE SNOW

Yes i'm still alive...

Okay so I know I haven't posted in a long time but I have been pretty busy and sick on top of being busy. Triston is in his second season of wrestling and he is doing pretty good. I think he would be doing better if he wasn't so tired from the Dramamine, but he has motion sickness so bad that we have to give it to him. He also turned 7 in December and I have to say that he is one of the smallest 7 year olds around. Keegan is blowing us away with how much he is talking, you can carry on complete conversations with the kid and understand everything he is saying. Although it can be a bad thing too because he is pretty good at talking back...I think that is just a natural thing kids pick up to annoy their parents. Well I am going to have to keep this short because the boys are sitting behind me arguing over who gets to play with the blocks, so until next time.....

The Professor

Well I took Triston to the eye Doctor and he had to get some glasses. We went to Wal-mart and he picked out a pair of glasses that look like Harry Potter glasses (of course they were the most expensive ones). The glasses are flex frames so he can bend them and it won't hurt them. He is very excited because he gets to be in the same cool club that his daddy is in. Here are a couple of pictures of him in his really cool glasses.

By the way the title of this post comes from a nickname that Triston's gym teacher called him last year, he was always the professor. She retired and Triston sure misses her.

All Done

Okay so I can finally get a good night's sleep because I will no longer have to be up all night reading. I finally finished the Twilight Saga and I have to say I really like how it ended. I have even talked my husband into going to the movie with me. I'm sure he is glad that I am done with the books because that has been all I have talked about for the last week. Now he knows what it feels like when all he does is talk about D&D. So now I am at a loss as to what to read, I will probably reread the Saga slower so that I can pick up on any little things I may have missed the first time through. I am planning on reading Midnight Sun tomorrow at work. If anyone is wondering where to get it, it is at www.stepheniemeyer.com I have to work tomorrow and that will give me something to do. Well that's all for now, I'm off to bed.

My Hero

Okay so the Marine Corps Birthday is on Monday and we had the ball on Thursday. I didn't go but Ian did, he was part of the Iwo Jima statue that they had for the ceremony...I told some people to take pictures of it but I don't know if I will get any...if I do I will post them. I did however get some of Ian in his dress blues...he is so handsome. I love they way he looks in his uniform it makes me so proud of him!!!!

New Moon

Okay so I'm on to New Moon and so far I'm pretty sad, I had to read with a box of Kleenex last night... I am cleaning house right now but I can't wait to be done so I can go back to reading!
