Back again :)

Katherine is having her first birthday party this coming weekend. She turns 1 in 11 days!!

Two kids sure make the days go by faster and seems less gets done at times.

Nothing else to exciting to report :)

7 months since my last post.. yeppers i'm a bad blogger!!

Katherine Elizabeth was born Feb 7th 1:30pm 21 inches long and 10 pounds 3 ounces. No wonder I could hardly walk w/o wanting to cry by the c-section date. She's a very good baby.. sleeps and eats well :) In other news Joseph is potty trained.. happy birthday to mommy.. We started APril 5th.. pushed the envelope big time on APril 7th (my bday) and have been on our way ever since with two accidnets (and it was just becuase he couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough not for lack of trying). It is SO NICE!!! We hired the garage project out to a contractor.. they took the old garage down on Thursday April 14th.. I had more fun watching than Joseph did!!! Now since the weather won't cooperate who knows when the pad will be done for the new garage... once the pad is done it has to cure for four weeks. I think the garage will take about a week and then the driveway will get done.. and have to cure another four weeks.. so eh maybe by mid july we'll be have a fully functional garage/driveway :) can't wait!!

Camping was grand!

Our camping trip was great TWO THUMBS UP for Golden HIll State Park in Barker NY :)

Great sand box, play area and swinsets as well as very large camping sites in the area we choose. Planning to good again next year afew times (but ekk with TWO kids).

Summer is zooming by...

CJ returend from his bear hunt (no bear) but reallly had a blast.

We're winding down with afew weeksn to ourselves.. yippie!

Sept 10-12th we're heading camping in the new to us camper that we bought in lte July. Smaler and easier to trailer with (with a growing family cj thought it was be nice to hve a smaller/easier unit to haul and I agreed).

15 weeks preggo.. time is flying by and i feel just fine :)

Enjoying the cool down in the temps this week.. 90 and humid is not my thing!

BUSY....

Well CJ's side jobs have continuted right through the month.. which is great but yikes.

He just bought a fiberglass cap for his truck from craigslist last night.. nice fits great black in color so mathces the truck fine. :)

This weekend we are planning to paint the outside of the house.. yeah for a paint sparyer!! Lets hope we are not WINDY.. weather wise we look good.. sunny and no RAIN.. only have three sides to do since CJ painted the back of the house two yrs ago and still looks just fine (it's eventaully ALL getting siding.. after we build the garage next year).

White paint is white paint (i know it doesn't all match exaclty but it shoudl be just fine :)

Hoping that's done Before Monday.

We are also moving the camper home this weekend to clean it and pack it for our trip tha wee leave for July 15th-19th.. kidless yippie... Yes I'll miss Jospeh and the dog BUt i've not have a vacatino from btoh of them since Joseph was born.

We'll bring him some fun gifts back :)

Like our CSA farm share too :)

Setting up playdates with friends is fun :)

We're in the middle of planning all of our summer trips too..

Spring weather is here WOO HOO!!!

CJ's been busy working upstairs.. no more patching and no painting has started yet but the insulation has begun (another project on the upstairs list).

We got a good deal on it so he's working on that :)

Along with setting up side jobs for brakes and what not.

Joseph is doing well.. as is Bart the dog (he'll be 8 in August and is starting to show his age some).
