Finally!! June Post

Here I am! As I’ve been told or reminded, by a few people I am slacking on the blog J!!

As most know our landscaping was going great. We finally got the flower beds done, the hanging baskets up and our new fence put in place. Then we had a nice little storm. The top of our neighbor’s tree landed in our front yard on top of everything and taking out part of our front porch! Five tree limbs went through the roof and two little limbs came through our ceiling. Graysen and I were perfectly fine, a little freaked out but it could have been way worse! Our neighbors around us have been so wonderful and some have helped us get things back in order. Other than our deck, roof and a few flower everything looks fine.

Graysen is getting bigger and bigger every day (no duh right!). She’s starting to speak 3-4 words in a sentence. “Momma play night night please” She loves to act like she is tucking us in and reading us a book! “No dog bite me” The dog and her sure do love each other! She will sit and watch an entire movie, she LOVES Bambi and Curious George right now. Therefore I’m going to try and take her to the movies here soon. She still loves going to Gymboree, and we’ve gotten really close to Johnny. His mom and I get along great and it’s nice to FINALLY have a friend here. She is throwing a bit more fits, but is starting to calm down a little easier when I can get her to actually speak what she wants rather than cry. She LOVES helping around the house, trying to sweet, vacuum, carry in groceries, pick up her toys, do laundry, do dishes and even scrub the toilets!  She doesn’t seem to love the swimming pool but she can’t get enough of the sprinkler and tries to “help” water plants every chance she gets! Her bed is now a toddler bed, no more crib, and her bed time has been set back an hour… Not sure I can take much more change!

School is going great as far as summer goes. I just have two classes and ended up taking one on-line. Although the on-line class is requiring a service learning project which means I need to volunteer 15 hours. A friend of ours works for Planned Parenthood and has helped me out by letting me Volunteer over there. So a few of my summer Saturdays are going to be spent doing that. I still should find out about the Nursing program in July, I really can’t wait and want this month to speed by!! Wish me luck everyone!

I have booked a ticket to MO and CO in August. I’m really excited. I plan on seeing my Grams and cousin Jayson and I haven’t seen either of them in a VERY long time. Excited for them to meet both Brandon and Graysen. Then hopefully we will get to see a few people in Colorado. That’s always a hard one. We have so many people to see and never enough time! We shall see how it goes!

I could write a TON more, but I don’t want to keep it going to be too long. Hopefully I can get on here and write more often!!! Happy SUMMER!
