Alexander's semi-annual update

Alexander

Alexander is growing up fast! At the beginning of the year he was not walking, now he is running and almost keeping up with his big brother. (although he still can fit in a laundry basket). He is finally at the age to go to nursery, but so am I. Just kidding, I have been in nursery for the last 8 months. Lucky me!!

Josh's Semi-Annual Update

Josh

It is hard to believe, but Josh is actually growing up! We celebrated his 5th birthday in June, he graduated preschool and he has already started Kindergarten.

For his birthday he got his first bike. He is still having a hard time stopping, but I know it will come.

We had cousin Clara visit us off and on this summer. We had lots of fun!

Kindergarten started yesterday (year round). He is very excited! The school is about 1 mile a way and I am not sure I want to walk 4 miles everyday.

Christmas 2009

Since I don't think my computer could do a slideshow with blogger, I have to do it the long way. We enjoyed Christmas this year. It will be the first Christmas that Josh remembers and Alex's first Christmas ever. We went to the Pratts on Christmas eve to eat pizza and play games. On Christmas morning we got up about 730am and opened all the Christmas gifts. The Oveson's came over for Christmas dinner and played with Josh all day. We are so lucky to have 2 sets of wonderful grandparents. Thanks for everything! We hope to see you guys at our new years party. Call or email me if you want more details.

Stupid broken heart

So, I wake up Tuesday morning to a beep-beep sound and freaked out. My defibullator was having issues and it was letting me know. Ahhh! Anyways, we contacted the Dr. and I have another lead problem and will be going thru surgery on Tuesday. If that wasn't crazy enough, I also got a phone call that day to come in for a job interview. Long story short, I got a job at as a physical therapy assistant and will start on the 30th. (if all goes well). Thanks in advance to the moms for helping with my 2 cuties. Everything else is normal, if you can consider anything normal in my family. Josh is finally going back to school Monday, which is good, I love him but he can drive me crazy sometimes. I will let you know the outcome when I am feeling up to it. Thanks for all the support.

Halloween 2009

Our pumpkins. Mike help carve all the pumpkins. Josh wanted his with 3 eyes and I wanted the littlest pumpkin to have the same amount of teeth that Alex does. (4) Mike and I decided to have a normal pumpkin. This year Josh dressed up as Peter Pan and Alex was a puppy. Van was "Grr", a robot dog. He was so mad when we took the pictures, but it is still pretty cute. Thanks to mom for taking time and effort to make all of the cute costumes.

Pumpkins in the Patch

We have been home since Friday afternoon. Thankfully. They were talking about keeping us there until Sunday morning and I almost throw a fit. (It wasn't pretty!) We had a bit of a problem with the pharmacy losing prescriptions that they just had in there hand, so it took about an hour, then to make matters worse, they only filled 5 out of the 14 days. So, I had to go back up to Primary's to get the second half. I was pretty steamed. We are back to normal.

Josh was so happy to be going back to school and riding the bus. He is now off track for 3 weeks. I haven't figured out what I am going to do with him yet, any suggestions?

We went to the pumpkin patch on Monday night. It was right when that really cold storm was coming through so it started to get really cold and it was windy. We try to go to the pumpkin patch every year. It just something about picking the pumpkin from the vine and it is soooo much cheaper then the ones in the store. Well, my attention is being demanded once again. TTFN (ta ta for now)

Josh's Update

Hi. I has been awhile since I have posted. We found out last monday that Josh has got the wonderful heart that I have. (Those of you who know me, know what I am talking about). He has been in the hospital for the past week trying to figure out what dose of medicine will help him. We hope they have got it figured out this time and we can come home on Friday. Other then that life has not changed much. Thanks to the mom's for stepping in when we really needed them, and taking time off of work. We love you guys! Hopefully I will stopped running for awhile and share some better times with everyone. T.T.F.N.
