Very Cute

I have the Very cutest kids. I don't care what you say. I'm not biased. Just stating facts. LOL. Anyway, I know I haven't posted many pictures lately, so I figured I'd do a bunch of pictures for you today. Hope you enjoy them!
While waiting for Jordan in gymnastics, Liam learned how to climb up the slide.

Once he got to the top, he didn't know what to do next.
When Liam was still figuring out this whole walking thing, he loved to walk along behind JS (what she has decided her new nickname can be) while she was on her bike.

When she quit peddling, he'd try pushing her. This is his concentrated pushing face.

Aren't they just cute????

Liam also really loved sitting on the bike while J.S. pushes it.

Liam and his cousin Justing enjoying the trampoline.

Liam conned Uncle Pat into bouncing him.

J.S., my mom and I went to the fair on Saturday night. There was a "wall of nails" I can't remember if this is Joey's face or my face, but it was pretty fun to play with.

There were huge bubble wands. You could take them over people and encase them in a bubble... sort of.


Joey's first roller coaster!

Bumper Cars!!!

The Tilt-a-whirl was one of her favorite rides.

The last few rides, she quit wanting to ride with me and instead wanted to ride with a boy from school. Man, that makes me feel old. You can barely see the top of his head in this picture. I couldn't get one of the two of them together.

UGH!!

UGH!!! I have several ughs today. First off, was this insane idea that I would blog every letter of the alphabet. Lately, there are things I want to blong about, but I can't figure out how to put them in with that letter. So, just in case anyone else is as insane as I was, DON'T try this. It's much harder than you'd think. Another ugh... Liam's walking. He's everywhere!!! He doesn't want to crawl anymore. If he falls, he crawls until he can get up on something and finish walking. He also climbs up on stuff to get to what he wants. He also pushes stuff over to climb up on. He has figured out how to get what he wants no matter what. The other day we were at my parents, and there was a bucket on top of one of those dinner tray tables. Liam really wanted it, so we pushed it out of his reach. He then grabbed a pen and was trying to either knock the bucket off or trying to somehow get the pen in the bucket and pull the bicket too him. (Can you at least imagine what I'm talking about?) Ugh number two... the bathroom. Ty ripped our master bathroom out in January, and it still has no estimated finishing date. I've almost got it ready for texture, then I can paint, but it still needs to be tiled, a fan put in, we need to get a light fixture, and install it and another one. Then I need to pick out a mirror. Then we can finally have a second bath again. Yay!!!! I can't really say that I have any ughs when it comes to Jordan. Probably just her schedule. It seems like because of her we always have something going on and somewhere to go. Well, enjoy the picture of my cute new walking UGH. LOL.

Another quick ugh... waiting for this video to load. It's late. I wanna be in bed instead.

T

Twentyth letter. This is also my 200th post. Well, actually it's the 201, but I didn't get it worked out for the T like I wanted. So pretend it's our 200th post. Okay? For it, I'm just going to give you an update on our lives here.
Ty has the auditors coming this week at work. It's not a big deal, they come every October. The bummer is that since they will be here, he doesn't get Columbus Day off. I could put him to good work that day. Oh well. He's also realizing that with you thyroid dose where it should be, you have a lot of energy. He's also lost over 20 pounds in the last few months. It's been nice having him back to normal. He's itching to work on his mustang, but I won't let him work on it any more than necessary until our bathroom is finished. We are finally starting to make process on that!! Yea!!!
I am doing... well, nothing new. I have a friend who is going to let me borrow her jogging stroller, as long as I start training with her. So now I'm committed to helping someonelse get in shape, so hopefully I will get in shape as well.
Jordan is loving school. She is so funny. She asks me every day if it's her day for snacks at school. I'm trying to help her understand that she has them about once a month, but it's not sinking in yet. She got her new hard homework last week. She gets a packet of homework on Monday and it's due that Friday. Well, last Monday, she nearly finished her homework packet. She was upset that I made her stop doing homework. I can't believe how much info her little brain gobbles up. I'm glad she loves school. She's learning to read. She finally understands how to blend sounds in a word to make sense. She's got these beginning books that she just breezes through now. It's incredible.
Liam. He's getting so brave at this whole walking thing! He can go several feet now before he loses his balance and plops down. I think he prefers walking unless he's in a hurry. Then he does this cute speed crawl thing with his head down. Sometime I'll have to try to catch it and the walking on video camera for you. He is total and complete boy. I guess I figured that the boy traits were somehow learned, but nope. They are innate. For instance, he loves the mud. I'm not sure if it's the water, or the mud he likes the best, but he just loves being in it. He just sits there and splashes and plays in the mud until he's filthy. He also LOVES cars. Not necessarily the movie, but toy cars. And real ones, as long as they are loud. We probably have at least 10 matchbox type cars, and they are the most used toy in the house. He's so smart too. Like, he knows that the cars move better on the linoleum than they do on the carpet. He also knows that banging things on the linoleum makes more noise than when you bang things on the carpet.
