Well this last week has been a busy one around here! We had Nana B and Papa D come visit Friday evening - Sunday afternoon. On Saturday we went up to Silver City. We had alot of fun. If you have never visited there you should. It is on some dirt roads but they are not bad. We took the minivan and it was fine. We had a fun time walking around. We saw the old cemeteries, school, church, hotel (which you can get food to eat and actually stay the night if you want), and many other buildings. The picture is the back side the hotel. Every
building in the town is owned by someone. Most are privately owned and used but others such as the hotel are privately owned but visitors can go inside.
Nathan got a little upset with us when we weren't going to go for a hike. We said we are hiking (have to walk everywhere) and he said no we weren't b/c we weren't in the mountains. (He meant that we weren't up on a trail somewhere.) Had a hard time convincing him we were up in the mountains. :-)
On the way back we stopped at a place called Celebration Park and tried to fish....well M and I did mostly but the fish jumped all around us but not onto our hook. M was not happy at all!!!!
Well come Sunday M was not feeling well. We went to church and then stopped at a BBQ competition that M had a friend competing in. (He won Grand Reserve Champion...hope I remembered that title correctly.) Anyways, M came home and went straight to bed. B and D left that afternoon after D learned how to play frisbee golf on the wii with N and E.
Well M was definetly sick. He has slept on and off since Sunday. He stayed home from work on Tuesday (Monday was holiday so was home already.) and then Wednesday you could tell he was doing much better so he went to work. Lasted until after lunch then BAM he called me and I could tell right away he was not feeling the greatest. So he came home and went straight to bed for 1.5 hrs and then got up and worked for a little while. He is hoping to be able to make it through a wh
ole day at work tomorrow but we shall see. No fever but this cold or whatever has knocked him down.
E had a busy week! She started dance class on Tuesday and then preschool (last year) started today (Wednesday). She loves both of them. NO hesitation at either one. It was head for the door ahead of mommy and in we went and off to what we needed to do. She is such a social person. We are so glad to see that she enjoys doing this stuff. So now the season has started of mom
my driving almost everyday to somewhere. :-) Thursdays are our days of nothing except for evenings are soccer practice for N.
N is loving soccer! We got so lucky in the fact that we were on a waiting list (late sign up since I didn't realize that for fall you needed to be signed up by the first of June!). Anyways, the lady made it sound like the team that he got on was not from our area but a different part of Meridian. Well come to find out 3 team mates are from his 1rst grade class and 1 team mate is from 2nd grade class. So he is loving it. He is always out there trying even if he is having a hard time or "not winning" as he calls it. We keep telling him that no matter what he is doing a great job! He so looks forward to Thursday evenings. (I just realized I don't have any pics yet of this...will have to fix that soon.)
FUN FACT:
Okay thought I would leave you with a fun fact! Everyone keeps hearing me say how much E grows and how much she needs to slow down! Well here is proof!!!! Tonight I measured them on the wall chart we keep near their bedrooms. Now I measured them exactly 6 months ago this day too. N grew almost an inch in that 6 months. E grew 2 inches!!!! I wonder when she will ever slow down. Now you can see why I don't buy new clothes/shoes until the last minute for each season. I just can't predicte which size she will be in for the next season. N was so predictable but E is not! :-)
class and y
ou can tell she loves being there. This picture is of her and then neighbo
r girl. And then the rest of her. It was easier to take a picture in the mirror then any other way.
