Go Green!

That is a cheer, not an environmental statement (although you should try to do that too).  I am so excited about the Celtics comeback, what a second half!  For some unknown reason, my not so better half has decided to pick this year to root for the Lakers.  Since when do we do that in my house?  Well we don't, so he may be sleeping outside.  No one's ever come back from 3-1 and won a championship but the Lakers are probably the team that would so I can't get too comfortable yet.  I am starting to ponder my spousal wager as I type...

Hey There Blogland!

I feel like I haven't posted anything of substance lately.  Not that Boone's big accomplishments aren't substantial, but they aren't ME stuff.  With my new job, I feel like I am just scraping by for time.  Have I even mentioned my new job?  Well, I am back full time supervising the nurses that I work with.  Our previous supervisor retired and up I moved!  I think, ultimately that will be a good thing, its just a little exhausting for now!

My herb pot is growing great.  I've been cutting the green hair (chives) and making sun-dried tomato and feta omelets with it.  Yum!  Now I need to get some tomatoes rolling and use the cilantro for salsa.  I never have much luck with tomatoes but this year I planted an heirloom and a cherry plant in one of the wine barrels.  Wish me luck!  

I am so ready to spend some time on the river and by the pool this summer.  Brody is fearless (surprise, surprise) so that makes it a little tough to relax around the water.  Boone is swimming great but doesn't really realize he can touch the bottom now.  Josh picked up the Wii Fit last weekend and we've been having fun with that too, although he and Boone had a collision while trying to "head" the virtual soccer balls.

Josh is heading to work in Yakima about 1am today to get some work in during a shut down. He has another one next Tuesday and he isn't looking forward to either one.  I am so glad tomorrow is Friday though!  Hope you all have a great weekend!  Good luck to Wendy on her Big Run!  I am so proud of you!

For Abby...Good Luck Girly!

Little Boy is Gettin' Bigger

What a day!  Feeling sad and thrilled at the same time.  My biggest little man tied his shoes today  and learned to ride a Two-Wheeler!  He's been working at both for the last week and we had a banner day this Sunday.  Josh was working outside today so I decided to try to help Boone for a bit.  We worked on balance without worrying about pedals and then on pushing off with the higher pedal.  That's all it took!  Off he went and I was running to keep up in case he went down.  It was so cool!  

Josh and I are really proud and so is Boone!  He and Daddy went right out to buy a 16" bike so that his little knees aren't up to his ears every time he pedals.  It took a little more getting used to but he's doing great now

That's it!  It is so time to put a brick on his head! He just can't get any bigger...

Wii are Doing Our Part to Stimulate the Economy!

So, I finally convinced Josh to buy a Wii today.  "What" you say?  I had to convince Josh to buy something.  He's been holding back on us but Greg and Angie brought theirs over last night and Boone and Josh had so much fun!  There are no Wii Fits to be found online or in the stores around here for now but that will be my next purchase.  Well, maybe after another wii-mote.
