Just testing my blog!

Leaving....

2007-10-04T08:30:00.000-07:00

Well, it's kind of a sad day today. We are leaving Union. I really like it here, I'll miss it. Even Justin is going to miss it. He got the address of one of his friends so he can write him. The other friend has came around once since school started. Justin wasn't done with school yet, so his friend said he would wait around for him to finish. When Justin was done, his friend had already left. So, he didn't get a chance to get his address. He was even Justin's best friend here, he's a really good kid. He's nice and follow rules, he's very respectful to adults. Nothing like this other friend. The friends whose address he got drives me crazy!
We are leaving this afternoon, James is getting off work at 2 PM. We are picking up our new car in Portland when we drive through. I'm excited about that.
I'll blog when we get to Coos Bay! Hugs!!

Checking in....

Jason seems to be doing better. His tummy is still getting upset, not sure if it's from the antibiotics or not. He is sure growing fast!
I got some new shoes today, here's a pic....
Justin got a new pair of shoes too. His are Skechers also. He loves Skechers.
I got a present for some friends of ours. They are getting married on October 6th. It was a hard choice between two of them, but I settled on this one....
Hugs!!

Jason

Ok, here's a pic of Jason. I took this last week when we went to sight in James' bow.

Here's a pic of Jason & James and Justin in the corner. Lol! =0)

Hey everyone

2007-09-15T16:19:00.000-07:00

I've been pretty busy lately. Jason keeps me quite busy. It's so hard to find time to do the things that need to be done around the house. Justin's homeschooling is going awesome. He's getting all A's, except for in Bible. He left his bible in storage, I think if we had it here with us, he would do a lot better. The weather has be getting cooler. I guess it starts to snow here in October. I guess it snows a lot too. Everyone tells us that if we aren't out of here by the time the snow hits, we will be stuck here. The company is planning on us being done here in 3 to 4 weeks. Then it's off to California! I can hardly wait to be closer to Toni. I'm so excited. We are planning on doing a lot when we get down there. Not sure where we are off to after that, depends on what jobs they have going on.
I'm starting some classes next week. I'm pretty excited about that. I'm taking Accounting Fundamentals and Administrative Assistant Fundamentals. When they are done I'm taking Medical Terminology, Administrative Assistant Applications and Accounting Fundamentals II. They are through a community college in Oregon and are done online. They have the best selection I've found for online courses around here. They are reasonably priced also.
It's hard to believe that Jason is 5mths old now. He is sitting really well, eating and loving his baby food, he's on seconds now. He has been trying to crawl too. I will try to get some pics up soon. It's hard because I'm working between the desktop and the laptop. I can't resize my pictures or anything on the laptop and we get no signal for the Sprint broadband card on the desktop. =0)

Stormy

2007-08-16T09:48:00.001-07:00

We are supposed to get storms today. It's nice and all, but they've been starting lot's of wildfires. We had a forked horn buck hanging around yesterday evening. I took a couple pics of it with my phone. My camera was dead, I put a new battery in it and hadn't had a chance to charge it yet. I better get that done before he comes back today. We have deer day and night here.
We got the new trailer last weekend. That was a tiring trip. We decided to drive on down to Coos Bay to get some things out of storage. We got to Silverton around 7 PM and got all the paperwork and everything done. Then James woke us up at 3 AM because he couldn't sleep and wanted to drive down to Coos Bay right then so we wouldn't be in such a hurry to get back home with the trailer. We didn't get back to the trailer until about 2 PM. The trip back wasn't too bad, James was worried the whole time about the truck and the trailer. He was really dreading the hill outside of Pendleton. But, the truck did awesome. He was able to keep the temp on the turbo down! Me and Justin got to watch the meteor shower on the way back.
Jason is getting big! He got a walker the other day and loves it. He isn't walking yet, but he will scoot in it. He is loving solid food, squash is his fave so far. He goes in Monday to get his 4 mth shots. He weighs about 17lbs now.

Online again....

2007-08-02T14:41:00.000-07:00

We got a laptop on Sunday. Then we got the Sprint broadband for it. It's going to take a bit for me to get use to Windows Vista. It's weird! The laptop already crashed on me when I was trying to update Windows. I've already had to format because of it. It seems to be working great now, everything is faster and it updated Windows on it's own, which it wouldn't do the other day.

Jason is getting so big. He'll be 4 mths next weekend. We got his 3 mth pictures back. Now we are just waiting for the pictures of him and Justin together, we'll have them next week.

don't ming being in Union. It's pretty quiet here. We just have problems with 2 kids here. One was good friends with Justin, he is a year younger than Justin. Justin isn't allowed to play with him anymore because of the other kid. He is older and beats up Justin every chance he gets. He thinks it's funny and does it for no other reason. Justin can be doing his own thing and this kid comes up and tackles him, puts him in a choke hold, punches him, kicks him, trips him, does anything he can. Now the younger boy wants to be cool and accepted by this older kid and is helping him do it. I had to step in and tell him that Justin wasn't allowed to play with him anymore. I believe that if you are going to be like that then you really aren't a friend.
I don't know what to do with this older kid. Justin can't even go outside without being attacked by him. He can't go swimming at the swimming hole here because the kid holds him under the water and kicks him. Justin had a black eye last week from that. Any suggestions would be great!

Surgery

2007-06-01T10:44:00.000-07:00

I had my surgery yesterday, my tubal. Everything went great! I'm still pretty sore though. I have good pain meds, that helps a lot. I have two incisions, one in my belly button and one right below my tummy. I finally was able to be up a bit to check email and blog. I didn't sleep much last night because I was so sore.
Poor Jason's sleeping patterns have changed since James is home now. I need to get him back on his regular schedule. It doesn't help that James stays up so late and doesn't follow the routine I had Jason on.
James is going in today to talk to a guy about us getting a bigger trailer. We are really thinking about taking a travel job this Summer and putting money away. It will give us more time to find a place around Beaverton too. James' dad might co-sign for us on a loan too.
Ok, off to get some sleep. These pain pills really knock me out! =0)

New blog

2007-05-24T14:35:00.000-07:00

Here is my new blog. At least until I can get a new site setup. I had to cancel my old one because I couldn't log into my domain name renewal and it was going to expire this month. So, I will be starting fresh after the move. We might be postponing our move a month or so. There is going to be a job here for James. He is going to tell me more this evening when he calls. I will update you all on it.
