Updated, finally....

yes yes. here we go again.

I had a wonderful birthday! Alot fo strange and odd gifts, but it was completely wonderful! I recieved a lawn mower and a deep freezer from my mother in law, as well as a dozen pink long stem roses and a pink wallet from my husband. I also got taken out for dinner, it was really nice:)

My grampy is doing better, he was released from the hospital on the 16th. Hopefully, he doesn't go back in, but as he told me on my birthday, " I do this every year for nanny and I's anniversary", so, we will see.

What else has been happening?

I made all kinds of pickled beets and mustard pickles with Funky, had a good time with that. They turned out quite tasty too!

My dad came up a week ago to help with the bathroom demo, we had to pull out the old tub surround, and replace the drywall, because as I had suspected, there was a BIG mold issue back there. I'm really glad we have that cleaned up.

The biggest news of all.....

Erik has decided to join the military. He filed his papers on the 21st, and he goes for his first round of testing on september 9th. So, I am offically waiting to become a military wife! I'm scared, nervous, and excited for all of the things to come, but I know, things are going to be wonderful.

Another big piece of news is that I am going to be taking drivers ed, to get my liscense. We have about 900$ saved up, and we figured with Erik joining the military, its best that i get my liscense now, before he goes away for basic training. So, about 600$ of the money we have put away will go towards that, wish me luck!

The kids are growing like bad weeds...we noticed this the most over the weekend. We took a day trip to Bathurst to visit his grandmother, and aunts, and other family, and we didn't realize how much they had grown until we seen his grandmother. The last time she had seen Kallie was when she was just about to turn one, and now, she is 18 months. Tiana speaks so much clearer now, and Kallie is so much more independant.

Today, we took the kids on an "adventure", to a local farmers market, to see and feed all of the horses, and pigs, goats, and llamas. They has so much fun, and kallie even ventured out and pet a horse! I was so proud of her, she wasn't the slightest bit nervous.

From there, we headed to the Devon farm by my mother in laws house, and took the kids in to see the cows. The farmer there took the tractor out with some feed to bring some of the cows out of their group to show them, and then he took us inside to meet the baby cows, and the cat that also calls the farm home. We have alot of photos, and we were even invited back to watch the cows be milked sometime:)

I'll be trying to keep this more updated, I feel like i'm letting myself down for not writing!
