Homecoming!

On Wednesday Payton and I are riding back to Stevens Point with Randy and Tommy! Randy is picking Tom up from the Milwaukee airport cuz he was in Hawaii! Then he's going to come and get us and we're going to spend until Sunday morning there! I'm so excited! Josh will come on Saturday morning and then we'll come back to Racine on Sunday in time for Bubba's graduation party! My cousin is going to be in Stevens Point too, so that'll be nice because I haven't seen her in awhile! We used to spend every single day with each other for like 19 years, so it's hard to be away from her! I'm excited to spend time with my parents and the rest of my family! The weather is supposed to be nice too! On Friday night my mom and I are going to a little bachelorette party thing for Alice. It's at a spa and then dinner. I'm excited to go, it'll be nice to spend time with just my mom and I don't get out much so I will enjoy alittle adult/alone time! And Payton will be with his Grampa so I won't be worrying about him the whole time! I'm a serious worrier when it comes to my baby, it gives me serious anxioty. There's very few people that I trust him with!! Of course I'll miss Josh for those couple days though! He's finishing up his second shift work! Only 4 more days of that for him! We're all excited! This weekend was nice and mellow. As I blogged before, the weather was great on Saturday. I made a huge dinner of bbq chicken, mashed potatoes, steamed green beans and apple pie!! We went for a really long walk and then we watched prom. I know..wierd right?! We watched it on tv! It's a huge deal here! Each of the schools have their own prom and then they all meet for one big prom down by the lake! They get dropped off in fancy cars, buses, cool trucks, there were even some semi and 2 firetrucks that dropped kids off! I was jealous that we didn't have that in Point! Sunday we went to get some wedding gifts and just lounged! Only a couple more days until I get pictures up!

So Excited!

Today is such a beautiful day outside! I am so excited because I got a new bird feeder this morning! We also got Payton a sandbox! He loves it! He's resting now and once he wakes up we're gonna go back outside to enjoy the day! Our fence looks so pretty now! I have my 2 hanging flower baskets and my pretty bird feeder on it! And some of the flower seeds that I planted are sprouting! How exciting! I love summertime! However, I don't think the grass we planted is growing..hopefully it will though. I'm gonna take some pictures and this week Payton and I are going to my parents and Josh is going to meet us there on Saturday, so I will finally be able to post some pictures on here!!!! Ok, I'm off to do alittle clean up before my little angel wakes up:)

Mothers Day and alittle extra!

Yesterday was Mothers Day! We had a great day. I spent a great day with my boys. I got to sleep in and when I woke up Josh and Payton had a chai tea latte for me! They got me 2 really wonderful cards, an inspirational book called Dear Mom and a picture frame that goes with the rest of ours that says Home Sweet Home!! Josh cooked french toast for breakfast! Yum! We spent the day lounging around since the weather wasn't to great. Then later in the day we went bumming around and had dinner and ice cream! We got Payton some Play-doh and Josh wanted to buy Monopoly to play. After Payton went to sleep we stayed up and played until midnight! On Saturday we celebrated Mothers Day with Josh's family with lunch at Applebees. His parents got me a really nice card and a Lia Sophia gift certificate! We celebrated Mothers Day with my parents when they were visiting last weekend. They brought me a beautiful hanging basket of purple flowers, a Laguna Beach t-shirt and a candle holder that has tlights that smell amazing and a sweet card! I love being a mom! It sure helps to have such a loving family and a wonderful son and boyfriend! The weather is supposed to be nice this week so we will be outside as much as we can! Hopefully we will go to the park and take some walks! When Josh received his stimulus payment they said that he hadn't claimed any dependents on his taxes, well he has a child obviously, so something was entered wrong! So his mom fixed it and he's actually entitled to more refund money than he originally got back. Isn't that good news! So now, we're probably gonna get a computer, it will be awhile I'm sure before all is processed but I'm so excited. I'll be able to get pictures on here!!! I've been taking a lot more lately! Payton is so full of new things and curiosity that I want to capture as much as I can. We have a busy month of June but we're excited for the events that we will be attending! Until next time....xo

Beautiful Day!

It was a beautiful day today! This morning we went to the park. It's a really nice park that isn't too far from our house! Then we came back, ate lunch, Josh left for work, Payton and I took a nap and went back outside to play! The rest of the week isn't supposed to be that nice. It's supposed to be filled with rain and lower temperatures, so we had to use the day! We had tons of fun with my parents when they were here. We got to show them more of Racine and even took a walk on the lake! I have lots of good pictures and hope to post them soon! I also have great pictures from our park adventure! Josh's sister is expecting a baby any day now! That's exciting! She'll be the first girl cousin! There's allready 4 boys! As you can expect, she'll be a little princess! Her name is going to be Mirari and she'll be called Mia! How cute is that?!! Payton is fast asleep and Josh is working for alittle bit longer, so I'm about to go enjoy some quiet "me" time! He might be back working regular hours next week, we'll see. It doesn't matter to me either way though! Well, I'm out for the night. Please keep my Auntie Jayne in your thoughts and prayers! Check back for pictures real soon! If any of you can get picture mail on your cell phones, you should send me your cell number and let me know (if i don't allready) cuz we've been sending pictures that way since we can't any other way! xo g'nite!

New blogger!

Hi! I'm a person who has always written in a journal and when I had our baby I blogged on a website called Babycrowd. I loved both of them. Being a busy mom, I don't have much time to write in my journal and when my baby turned 1 I vowed to end my Babycrowd days. With all this fancy technology I thought about blogging at a different site online. A place where our friends and family could keep in touch with us. Something that wouldn't take up inbox space. A place to post pictures and thoughts. A nice keepsake, unless something should happen to the world of cyberspace. So here I am. Entering my first blog! I feel excited. Like I just got something new! Here I go! Onto the good stuff. It's getting late. Josh just got home from work and is now propped in front of the tv playing baseball on his playstation. It's baseball season. He has the itch. The itch to watch, go to and play the game. He's a die hard baseball, football and basketball fan. He knows everything about all of them. Well ok, not as much as Grandpa Bill, but a lot. Payton has been fast asleep since about 8:00pm. He's such a good boy. He's had a fun, long day, playing so nicely with his cousin, Ryan. After a good dinner of a peanut butter sandwich, applesauce, animal crackers and juice, he hopped into the bath and didn't wanna get out. "The water's getting cold, Boo Boo, " I say. He gets out without a fuss. I'm lucky. It's rare if he gives us a hard time. He's a funny boy. As I'm getting his jammies on I ask him a series of questions, "did you have fun in the bathtub?" He shakes his head no. "Did you have fun playing outside with Ryan?" Another no headshake. "Do you want to read a story?" Again, he shakes his head no. I take it this is his new thing. I know the answer to all of those are yeses! As for my night. I got alittle emotional watching Grey's Anatomy as usual and then wound up here, in front of the computer. On that subject, we're talking about getting a new one with the extra tax money. Ours was given to us by my mom and Randy and it's kinda old. It works fine, and we are very thankful for it, but I really wanna get one where I can put my camera memory card in it and do more with pictures. So we'll see! My mom, Randy & Emma are going to come visit this weekend. We are very excited. We don't have anything planned. But it should be a nice visit. Well, until next time....which won't be far away. Goodnight.
