{April 22nd} Wednesday Pool time at friends house. The kids had a blast and Holly and I had a good time sipping iced tea and watching from the shade. Thanks again Holly.
{April 21st} Tuesday It has been Hot. And I have to say that I have loved it. Except that my tulips got a bit sunburned, but besides that. It has been great. Kids had fun in the sprinkler, Vann was so funny as he ran around getting wet and Braydan was a very protective older brother, and acted as a human shield.
{April 19th} Saturday By the day, Vann becomes a more finicky sleeper. Sometimes I cant even put him down, and you can forget the crib. I think an intervention is needed.
{April 18th} Saturday Today was a busy day. we spent all day up in Medford/Jacksonville looking at rental homes. We stopped at Bella Union for lunch. By the end of the day everyone was ready to go home by mid day Vann looked like this:
{April 17th} Friday I has been so beautiful lately that we have been going out for evening walks a lot. We all go up 1 block to the cemetery and walk the perimeter. It is a really nice walk and Moe always finds plenty of things to chase. Today it was a deer.
{April 16th} Thursday I finally got my bread machine back from my Dad, ho had hijacked it for while. :) So we have proceeded to have fresh bread almost everyday. It makes the whole house smell so good.
{April 15th} Wednesday Braydan is so good about reading to Tes and Vann. I saw Braydan and Vann cuddled up together reading a book and I had to grab the camera.
{April 14th} Tuesday Still plugging away on my granny square blanket. This is how I have been blocking my squares. Its hard to keep the kids from trying to play with the pins.
{April 13th} Monday Today was a very depressing day today. I was trying to get the ball moving on house hunting but it looks like that we wont be able to buy a house for a while yet. It just not friendly market for those of us who don't have cash money for a down payment. So it looks like we will be renters for who knows how long. Very frustrating because we can afford house payments but they wont give us a loan. I seriously just wanted to cry, or scream, or maybe throw something....after getting off the phone with the loan agent.
{April 12th} Sunday A favorite picture from this weekend. We woke up to pretty Easter egg baskets full of treats from the Easter bunny, said good bye to all of our family and spent the next 11 hours in the car driving back home to Yreka. The kids actually did a lot better, we had borrowed Mom and Dad's DVD player and a few movies, and it made all the difference. Good-bye Redlands family we miss you all ready.
{April 11th} Saturday It definitely was the mother of all Easter egg hunts. The Kids found a ton of eggs and pretty much made them selves sick on the candy. And there was an adult Easter egg hunt this year, and I would have to say that we all made out like bandits. It was so much fun and my Mom and Dad really out do themselves every year. Here are the kids going through there egg loot. I dont think that Tes brushed her hair the whole time we were there. :)
{April 10th} Friday Lovin it here at home. Even though it is colder here then in Yreka. But as pulled into Redlands you could smell the orange blossoms, it was great it smelled like home. And of the course right away the kids were spoiled rotten.
{April 9th} Thursday So before we got to Redlands, Nathan wanted to stop to get a few more suits. And even though it kinda looks like a whole in the wall it has really nice suits for a really good deal.
{April 8th} Wednesday Nathan surprised us by coming home early and making it possible for us to start our trip to SoCal today. We were all really excited....but Vann had a hard time with the long drive.
{April 5th} Sunday Between Conference, Nathan took advantage of the really nice weather to clean the car. Kids had a good time and got soaked. Nathan and I have a deal, If I am in charge of making food on a thrice daily basis. He is responsible for cleaning the cars and making sure they have gas on a semi-regular basis. :)
{April 4th} Saturday Braydan and Tes seemed to be feeling Ok so we decided to make our Medford trip. It was a big Costco month. And after we were done shopping and had eaten our Costco pizza and hot dogs we drove around Medford. Checked out the Temple and some of the neighborhoods, we have decided that we are going to move there this summer. So we are the search of a house.
{April 3rd} Friday Braydan came home from school sick yesterday, some type of bug that is going around. Not good. He has it and Tes has it today and I am sure Vann will get it as well. Fever, aches, and just feeling yucky. So we made beds on the couches and watched Star Wars all day.
{April 2nd} Thursday I have been listening to some Audiobooks, love it. I can fill the dishwasher or do laundry or crochet while reading a book. Need to get some more.
{March 31st} Tuesday Nathans new toy. We ordered the navigation DVD for the car, and he has been playing with it ever since. We use it to go across town. :) Funny
{March 30th} Monday The man is really into cars or anything with wheels. Marmie and Poppy gave him this little train and he loves it. Cars is now a new favorite movie.
{March 29th} Sunday My new project. Have never crocheted before, but the internet can teach you much. :) I learned how to make the square here. Its in Christmas colors, hopefully I will get it done before then.
{March 28th} Saturday We eat a lot of cold cereal in this house. And Vann is now wanting his own, with his own milk and spoon. And he wants to eat it by himself.
{March 27th} Friday So Braydan was a monthly celebrity for his class this month . So the kids and I went for Braydan's 5 seconds of fame. (Nathan had a suppression motion to argue in Weed) (yes Weed is the name of the city) So here he is, he even gets a picture poster hung up in the school main entrance. Oh, the sweet life of a celebrity. :)
{March 26th} Thursday We have no cable and we don't get any channels at all. So when I brought home a sesame street DVD from the library, thinking Vann might like it, all the kids were enthralled.
{March 25th} Wednesday The man wearing the cookie monster sweatshirt that all of the kids have now worn. And that is cookie that is all over his face. :)
{March 23rd} Monday Vann is a crazy man, I cant let him outside he makes a bee line for the street. He doesn't care about the grass or the toys or anything that has to do with our yard, he wants the street. So to remedy the situation of him wanting to be outside and me, wanting to keep my son alive. I close up the garage and he plays in there. (which he is totally happy with ) Problem solved.
Braydan was invited to a birthday party today at the bowling ally, so we all went. I always forget how fun bowling is. Tes loved it. She told me that she wanted to go bowling for her birthday.
