Cousins!!

We were able to take a weekend to go visit family in La Grande and Waitsburg a few weeks ago. The boys had a great time visiting all of their cousins!!! It was nice being around the ones we love even though it was a short visit. :) I forgot to take pictures in La Grande, but made up for it in Waitsburg. :)

Yay for Joseph!

We just found out yesterday that Joseph was accepted into the challenge/honors program for next year! He tested for it a few months ago. It was hard for me to wait for the results, but I did ok. :) The most exciting part for me (and the least exciting) is that he gets to stay in the same school. We moved this year, so technically he's supposed to go to a different elementary school next year. Truman (his school) happens to be one of the schools that the challenge program is based out of. The reason it's also the least exciting.. this means I have to continue to drive him to and from school. :(

So.. is it ok for me to also be worried??? He is excelling now, but what if he really struggles in the challenge program? I guess those are questions I can ask at the open house. When I had him tested.. I wasn't sure either, but I figured they know what they are looking for, so might as well give it a shot. :)

I have some pictures to post. So I will probably be blogging twice in one day. :)

St. Patrick's Day

Joseph wanted to do something special for St. Patricks day, so we made a "green" dinner. :) Just thought I'd share some pictures.

Kittens!!!

we welcomed 3 new little family members to our home over the weekend! We had suspisions that our Cat might be pregnant. I was in denial, but Joe was pretty certain. Well, Joe is always right of course! On Sunday our cat was acting really strange. My Mom and Kenny were over for a visit. They saw her bulging belly and weird behavior and told us we should probably make up a bed for her because it looked like she was about ready to have babies. We found a box and put an old sheet it in. We then tried to find her. We couldn't find her anywhere! I was worried she might have slipped outside. Joe went to take a second look. He peeked inside of the boys closet and found her in the boys laundry hamper. He went to pick her up and discovered that she was already in the process of having her first kitten. Needless to say, he put her back in the hamper. :) About 10 hours later she had her second kitten and we woke up Monday morning to see a third kitten snuggled next to the first two in the box we had moved them to.

So.. I have no idea how to take care of kittens. I keep leading the Momma to the box so she'll feed her little babies. She does a pretty good job, but seems to still want to be around us. She's actually laying down on the floor by my feet as I type. I'm so paranoid that something is going to happen to her babies! I'm glad they have eachother so they can stay warm. I was worried when there was just one and the Mom would keep leaving! Ok.. now that I've written a novel about cats, I suppose it's time to publish this post! :)

I might be posting some pictures of our house soon. It's clean, so I need to hurry and take some pictures before it gets cluttered up again!

Painting

We've finally finished painting our living room and our "cowboy" room (you'll see why we call it that soon). I'm going to post finished pictures as soon as my house is picked up! We are in the process of finishing our bedroom. Currently half of the bedroom is painted. :) Jackson loves to "help" us paint. He has helped in all three rooms so far. Next up is our kitchen. I think we'll take a little break from painting for a few weeks though. I really want to paint our hallways, but that is going to take a lot of convincing for Joe. :)

Just hanging out

Hey there-
I haven't had any thing to blog about lately! I'm updating my background and music, so I figure I need to blog too! Anyway, I took a couple of pictures. This is what my family was doing while I was sitting at the computer. :) You might notice that Joseph has now lost two teeth!... and his other front tooth is loose! Oh just realized I can't add the picture of Joseph and Joe eating corndogs... Joseph has food hanging out of his mouth.. not appealing!
