Things I did today

So we are up at my moms this weekend because Cass has some interviews. Nathan is sick and so our day started roughly at 5:45am. We got ourselves ready because today Christina and Brody came to visit. She also had a very early morning. Lucky for us, I made some cinnamon rolls and coffee to help us feel a little brighter! It was so fun playing with Brody and visiting with Christina. Hopefully some day soon we will live close enough to do that more often. After our visit, Cass and I took Nathan to the urgent care center. Sure enough he has an ear infection and a nice cold virus. bummer. He was pretty tired by the time we were done so when I dropped off his prescription, I told the lady I would be back a little later after I put him down for a nap. We headed home.

Kelsie and Maggie are at moms for a few days. They do this for a few days around this time every year. Maggie is so silly. This is her in a funny hat.

Kelsie was reading us some stories and smiling for the camera!

THEN: I headed back to town to get Nathan's prescription. I got about a half a mile down the road and on a whim I decided to stop off at the car dealership JUST TO TAKE A LOOK! If you refer to an earlier post, I said I wanted/needed a new car. Preferably a Chevy Trailblazer. Wouldn't you know that the first car the guy shows me is a white Chevy Trailblazer (nicely priced)! I test drove it. I then asked to take it home to get a second opinion...remember, this is just on a whim, JUST TO LOOK. Cass went with me to take it back and now it's OURS!!!!

2003 Chevy Trailblazer...ALL MINE!

It turned out to be a crazy/fun day!

LESS than 1.5 days and Cass will be done with school! YIPPEE! See previous post about jobs, etc...

We are going out for pizza with some of his people from the hospital to celebrate tonight!

CONGRATULATIONS CASS!!! NATHAN AND I ARE SOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU!

The Scoop!

So Cass has a couple interviews coming up in the next few days and they are all in the Salem and surrounding areas. There are just no opportunities for him down here. SO...we are moving back to the Valley! Hopefully we will know if he gets one of the jobs he's interviewing for before we have to be out of our apartment but if not we will live at my moms for a couple weeks.

Believe it or not, I'm finding it bitter sweet. If you would have asked me six months ago what I wanted, I would have said "get me outta Coos!" But now I have great friends and a fun job. So that makes me sad. In fact, I'm leaving in three minutes to go play volleyball. I will miss this place. But I'm also so excited to get back up towards family!

Wish us luck!

few more pics and a call for help

As I've mentioned before, Nathan loves to dress up in my stuff. Today he walked out with my bra hanging from around his neck.

We are also getting ready to move...that is another post in itself and I'll get that up in the next day or so. But I was going through some stuff and cleaning I turned around to see Nathan inside a plastic container and had pulled some towels on top of him. He sat like this and watched Dora for about ten minutes. Never a dull moment.

A few more things Nathan says:

"aaaaaaaahhhhhh SNAP!" another thing his dad taught him

"I shit" (supposed to be "I sit")

He loves to look at pictures of his favorite cousins and say "Kessie, Maggie"

"Mamma Poop!" real quick...whenever I'm not in the room and Nathan asks for me...Cass tells him I'm pooping. I'm NOT. Now he thinks that's all I do.

he sings "wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle....hold still" it's from Yo Gabba Gabba and the video I want to post is him singing it.
"Happy face" he always wants me to draw a happy face on his magnadoodle. ALWAYS!

"Yuck yuck yuck" anything on the ground outside gets this!

He pretty much copies anything we say. It's really funny and Cass thinks it's great (look at the pooping thing he taught him). I can't believe he'll be 2 in only five months...where does the time go???

I also feel so dumb. We had our computer worked on and now I can't figure out how to upload videos from my camera. I can get the pictures. Before this, all i had to do was plug my camera into the usb and a box would come up and I would choose where to upload. NOW, that little box doesn't come up and I really can't even tell you how i get my pictures...I just do. But when I go through and pick the pictures I want, my videos aren't even an option. ANYONE very technical?

Our home computer isn't working. The power went out and ever since our internet is down. Verizon is sending us a new modem this week. Then I'll upload Nathan's cute videos for your viewing pleasure!!!

Stay tuned...

I have some cute videos of Nathan. I just have to find a few minutes to get them up here!
