Life getting away

Life has been getting in the way of me keeping up with my blog like I was hoping to do.

Things have been good around here. We are getting a lot of little projects done at home painting inside and getting the stairs built on the deck so we can finish staining and build the roofs before winter. I know , I know I said the "W" word but it is coming sooner than we think.

My parents are getting ready to leave and the little man is getting used to daycare he is there today until after lunch and then tomorrow he will be there until after nap time and then Wednesday will be a full day and everyday from then on.

He was such a brave guy today we walked in and hung up his stuff and put his lunch in the fridge and he didn't cry at all. He has his bunny with him so hopefully he will be ok.

We are all just getting over being sick it was a bad cold and I really hope it isn't the start to a bad cold and flu season. I hate being sick at any time but it seems that being sick when it is 25-30* outside is just cruel. Other than to get juice and go to the bathroom none of us got off of the couch this past weekend. We both missed two days of work and are still sick today.

I placed a big Scentsy order from a party and I am hoping it comes in this week so I can pick it up and get it packaged for people soon. Usually Scentsy shipping is really fast but they have been pretty slow for the last two orders I put in . I think I am going to have to start telling people 2 weeks for shipping.

Summer is almost gone....

We have been trying to soak up as much of summer as we can while it is here. These days it seems to be going by so much faster than anyone wants it to. The days have been so nice we have been spending as much time at the lake as we can. Corbin is loving going swimming and is quickly gaining zero fear of the water with keeps me on my toes and gives me mini heart attacks several times when we are there.

He hates getting sand or dirt on his hands and will stop moving if they are dirty until you carry him to the water to wash them, he is such a funny little guy.

Everywhere you go these days there is back to school stuff all over the place I have been looking at the list of everything Corbin needs for daycare and putting off getting any of it but I am running out of time he only has about a month left until then :(. It makes me sad to have to leave him there for 12 hours a day but I know he will be learning so much and it is good for him to be with other kids and adults other than family.

I have so many good ideas for his lunches that I am excited for that part of it. I know he is to little to understand that I made him special sandwiches that look like dinosaurs but I will know they are there and I will feel better knowing that he has them come lunch time.

I have a feeling the daycare is going to get sick of me calling to check up on him on a multi-daily basis...lol . I know he will be fine. It's me that needs to get over it...:)

Well I should get back to work my coffee break is almost over I will leave you with a cute picture of Corbin with his cousin playing in the water on the weekend.

And one showing you just how cute my little man is getting minus all of his mosquito bites.

Time.....

Do you ever notice that when you are a kid time seems to go so slow. It seems like you are always waiting for something, Summer vacation, Christmas, Birthdays ..ect.

However once you become an adult you NEVER have enough time for anything. The days and weeks fly by it seems like you just make it past one holiday or birthday and another one is on you again. There is never enough time to spend with your kids , playing and learning and exploring, there is never enough time for work or alone time or time with you SO. Time seems to be something we are always chasing.

Like my blog it seems like there is never enough time to keep it updated I want to be able to keep a record of all the things that happen because like everything else they go by too fast.

We have been getting a lot of work done on our house the last few weeks which is nice. We were going to replace some boards on our deck before we finished staining it but ended up removing a big part and are going to change the layout slightly.

We have also been having some very sunny summer weather all of a sudden and the little man is NOT a fan, he gets grumpy and cranky and doesn't want to eat. I got him a pool for our deck to try and keep him cool but it is a constant battle to keep the mosquitos off of him and me while he is playing.

Went for a great swim in the lake the other night it was about 32*c and the little man was not having a good afternoon so I scooped him up and headed to the lake for a nice swim, the sun was shining and the water wasn't too cool  it was just nice. I'm thinking I might go again tonight if I have the energy for it once I get home .

What are you all doing to stay cool in this summer weather ?

Work again, Work again.....

Well I have been back to work for almost three weeks now and it feels like I was never off.

I really miss spending my days with my little man but it is great to see how excited he is when we get home at the end of the day.

Work is basically the same there are a few new people around but basically the same.

Not much else has been going on we are waiting for summer to finally make it's appearance sometime soon and get rid of all this rain it would be nice to be able to do something on the weekend with the little man other than hide in the house.

It has been pretty quiet around the house just working on little projects here and there and getting things the way we want them.

I don't have a lot to report so here is a cute picture of the little man plaing with his Birthday present

Man is he ever cute and growing so fast.

Happy First Birthday to my Little man

We celebrated Corbin's first Birthday on June 1st. We had a big party for him on the 2nd and invited family and friends.

Corbin had his one year check up on the 29th and he is growing right on track. He is 30.5 lbs and 33" tall. he is above the 99th percentile for both.

The party was excellent the weather co-operated with us and was sunny and warm all day everyone had a great time and the little man went to be early.

 Me and the Birthday Boy

 Checking out his cake

 Mmmmmm Yummy cake

Opening presents


All in all we had a great day I can't believe that my baby is one already. The year went by way way to fast.

Moved in and mostly....settled

We moved on the 18th and boy was it a busy day. we were up and going at 6:30 and it was non-stop moving stuff until about 10pm. We have mostly unpacked all the the boxes....unless you count what is in the work shop outside. That is a whole other story. All of our appliances were delivered on Thursday so it was nice to have them in before the chaos of moving day happened.

C's room is pretty much done I painted it on the Tuesday before we moved in so that all we had to do was ;put his bed together and he would be good to go. I put his his growth tree on the wall yesterday and it looks so good I will post a picture after he gets up from his nap.

Now I just have to get the entire house in functioning order so that we can host the little man's birthday here in just over a week for about 50 people.....lol yeah I know I'm crazy.

We got the HOUSE!!!!

Our court date was today and there were no other bids on our house so it is all ours.!!! We are so excited.

We will get possession on the 14th of May and will be moving in on the 17th. Can't wait to be able to paint and get everything ready to move in. It will be so nice not to have to live out of boxes anymore.

I will post before and after pictures once we get everything settled.

Also we will be all moved in in time for Corbin's first birthday so I am very happy about that.
