Good Day . . . good couple days actually

Nothing in particular, well, yeah, several particular things, but just lots of little things going together and getting accomplished these last couple days. No pics, still in too much of a hurry, but . . .

The BIGGEST thing for us- Robert worked ALL DAY today in the garage. Finished shelves to unpack enough items to get BOTH VEHICLES IN THE GARAGE! Yea! This has been bugging me. Many of the boxes either got unpacked, gone through and put away, or stored in our now DRY (thanks Todd) basement. A couple of them went into the front room/computer room to be sorted through, but overall, the garage is done and we have ALOT less boxes lying around!

What else since my last blog? Robert and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. :) He bought me roses on the day and a couple days later we went out to dinner (chicken fried steak and potatoes, and wonderful rolls; definately NOT on my diet plan!) and then to a movie- we saw The Hangover at Amber's suggestion- IT WAS HILARIOUS! I don't remember the last time I laughed so much! Sara and her girls came over to babysit-- THANK YOU!

Robert and I got our new driver's licenses -- change of address. We got Sam's cards. We ordered a home phone line that should be hooked up on the 16th, I'll get you all the number later. Good news on Jenny's blog. Good news on Brandi's blog. Planning a trip to CO Springs for one of Robert's cousin's wedding on August 1st. Planning a trip to San Antonio/Sea World in late July. The boys may be spending a week with Prampa John and Grandma Crystal (and Aunt Nyketa and Baby Cadence, and Uncle Troy and Emilly and brand new baby Kyrah)-- BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THIS YET, so don't say anything to them! . . . What else, boys' ball teams are doing well. Both are enjoying it. Michael hit a triple on Wed night- he was REALLY excited! He also played infield for the first time-3rd base, also his normal: left field, right field, and catcher. Isaiah also played 3rd base, catcher, and was told to go to left field but went to right instead! :)

Isaiah's been going to preschool this week, and will continue to next week. It's 2 hours M-Th, and he has a pretty good teacher (me! :)) I'm actually really impressed with how well he's doing and how much he's learning. His writing of his name is getting good, and he's learned how to write (form) his numbers from 1-6 so far (next week we'll finish through 9). He can rhyme, cut, do lots of the things that the others can. HOWEVER, I'm still very comfortable with waiting him a year to go to Kindergarten- academic redshirting as it's now being called since it's becoming so popular. Anyways, he's really loving it. Doesn't complain at all when he has to be woken up and dressed before the rest. He likes to start group conversations during work times, takes polls during transitions. He'll just annouce a little loudly to the group: "So, who can ride their bikes without training wheels? . . . . I can. I just took them off, and I can ride it WITHOUT FALLING DOWN." It's really cute. I keep saying that he's my little politician because he'll talk to anyone . . . He's definately a leader, nonetheless.

Michael lost ANOTHER tooth tonight! BIG, BIG gap now! I'll get a picture up soon. . . Oh, we found out that the van is a "flex vehicle" takes E85 gasoline!!!! That means we just dropped our gas price by about 50 to 60 cents a gallon! Yea! Stations online look promising for our vacations.

Isaiah's birthday party is on his birthday, next Saturday the 20th, at 3:00pm. He's decided on Star Wars theme (only because it meant that he got to get a little inflateable lightsaber.) He's excited to be turning 5. Caleb's is next. He'll be two on July 15th . . .

Well, that's probably way more than anyone cares to hear about . . . Oh, I did want to ask one thing. Since I'm doing some extra work this summer, and my cel phone (rather, the backup phone that I'm borrowing from Jenny and Mark since mine died) is, well, about 8 years old, I'm thinking of spoiling myself with a nicer phone. I'm up for one at the end of this month. Any suggestions?
