Life has been very busy sinse we have come back from Pocatello. Jordon spent two weeks in Infectious disease. It was a great learning experience but the hours were BAD!! He would get up at 5:15 and not get home until after 6:00. He is now working in Ana... I really can't spell it but it is the rotation where you but people to sleep. This has been a great two week for him, he has been intubating like crazy. The hours are better so I like this rotation.
Addie has been playing like crazy. She had a great time camping and sleeping in the tent. Her and Elise spent most of the time chasing bugs. I don't know if Addie ever touched one but she was more than willing to help Elise find them. We took Addie swimming yesterday and she did great. The baby pool was closed so Addie had to be in the big pool and was not willing to let go of mom and dad (I know how an oranguatan feels if that is not spelled right its jordon's fault). After a little coaxing and a water noodle tied around her chest she was off swimming by herself. She was so proud of her self! For all of those interested Addie is still going strong with the princess theme in her life. She did put on some long socks that came up to her knees and told me they were Volleyball socks! Baby steps
Maya is still Maya she is fearless except when it comes to nursery. The regular lady that holds Maya for the entire time was not there on Sunday so Maya decided that she was going to cry until she threw up all over one of the nursery workers :( they were not very happy with me. I think they were very glad to hear that it was our last Sunday. There is some innocent nursery leader in Pocatello who has no idea what is heading her way in a couple of weeks! Maya still loves the water. At the pool that we took the kids to there is a slid that halls butt and Maya loves it.We constantly hear "slide more slide more, up up up." The life guards could not believe how much she loved the slide. Allison this is for you. Maya woke up this morning and decided instead of letting me know that she was awake and poopy she would take her diaper off and scoot her butt all over the crib. I threw the sheets away because I know I was never going to get the stain out. she was very proud of herself. She kept pointing at the diaper and poop and smiling. I wanted to kill her.
I have to give Bruce his props. We went for a walk Sunday, Addie has started walking instead of riding in the stroller, she really like to walk Bruce well we came around the corner and there was this Giant Mastiff (the sandlot dog) Bruce took off wanting to play, I yelled at Addie to let go so she didn't get knocked over or killed by this horse/dog. I thought Bruce was going to get eaten but to our amusement the Mastiff tucked tail and Bruce chased the whimpering dog clear down the block! So much for the Mighty Mastiff. If gave us all a good laugh
We had a great 4th we went camping Friday night with the Johnson's and had the campground to ourselves. It was wonderful; we had a great view of the water but we were far enough that you didn't have to keep the kids on a leash. While we were there two huge storms rolled through. I love sitting in tents and listening to the rain. The second storm that came through dropped about an inch of rain. All you mom's are thinking O what a muddy mess! NOPE the soil was sand! We also had just enough wind to keep the bugs away. It was a great trip.
We came home Saturday to find that Caper had flooded! 1 1/2 inches in 1hour. After naps and unpacking we headed up to the Johnson's for some amazing Fajitas. Then went to watch the fire works. Bruce was trying to sit on my lap for the entire show. The best part was on the drive home. Addie really really really had to go pee so Jordon pulled over on a busy road and took her pee out in the rain.
I have been keeping busy. Almost all of the stuff I have been selling sold, so I have been making a new batch to sell before I leave. I know, it's the non crafty selling crafts. What is this world coming to? Jordon and I are training for our next 1/2 marathon in Sept. Photography is coming a long I have been taking pictures like crazy since I have been back in Casper. We started packing our house yesterday and take off for Des Moines on Saturday. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.
It has been suggested more then once that I should write a blog during this little adventure we are going on. My first thought was no way. I hate proof reading things and I can't spell. So consider this your warning. I am going to write things and not proof read them. I will do my best but.... Think of it as a challenge to figure out what I was trying to say. To all of you English majors I am truly sorry.
