Davids Birthday

Just an update about Davids birthday, I have not sent out invites yet as I am not sure when it will be this year, probably early May as we have work being done on our water line in the area and won't have drinking water and it will make it a hassle to entertain, plus being without a job entertaining might be a bit more expensive than we can afford. I will keep you posted. We are going to celebrate in Montrose and have another small family gathering in Wyoming or Steamboat (not sure which).

So, if anyone is curious about his likes, he LOVES Bob the Builder though we have a few DVD's already. I have been informed there is a work bench and tool belt on its way already! He loves Bobcats and any sort of construction related books, puzzles, shirts, you name it he will go crazy for it, he is also big into farm equipment and animals. He wears 3T right now and is set on winter clothes. He also loves the giant legos and I am trying to think of what other sort of building blocks are age appropriate for him as I wanted to get him some. He is getting so smart, he loves flash cards and books. I just realized this sounds like I am asking for stuff for David, but I just wanted to inform anyone who is interested what David is into etc... lol!

So now I feel bad that I haven't completed our Christmas thank you yet and can't afford to right now, but here is a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone!!!! -for now, I will still plan on sending some pics as soon as we can.

Anyway, you all enjoy your sunday!

Wow

Well, I have been online a lot today job searching, no pics though, sorry... I just had a thought I wanted to share... after a bath, a book, tooth brushing, diaper change, kissing daddy, doggies and Roo (kitty) goodnight -and mommy!- David went to bed with his babies, Elmo and Cookie Monster (Cole to join him shortly), when I went to do my routine, brush my teeth, take out the dogs, feed the cat, check all their waters, turn on the baby monitor it hit me... when did it change from "turn the monitor all the way up so we can hear him breathe" to "this is the loudest we want it cause if we hear him breathe it will keep us up all night" -not to mention he can scream loud enough for us to hear him from outside the house, lol!
Things are changing, he is growing, I am happy and sad, but I love this little man of ours, more and more everyday... he is already outsmarting both me and Charlie on a daily basis.
Wow

Just an update

I thought I would let everyone know I am still searching for a job and just spent a horrible amount of time updating my resume and emailing it everywhere I could find.
Poor David will not be going to pre-school for a bit, but is having fun with me and Charlie at home. This weekend he got to help me take care of Aarons dog kennel and had a blast feeding the dogs, giving them cookies, getting lots of kisses and feeding the fish in his Koi pond. He loves to pick out certain flash cards when I ask him to give them to me, he does good on the "animal/thing" side, but is still learning the alphabet side. He also loves the huge legos at Papa and Nanas townhome and I hope to get him some for his b-day, but alas, we can't have his party til May as we will not have water due to the work they are doing in the neighborhood. David still talks pretty well and is adding new words everyday.
Speaking of David, I think he is up from his nap... talk to you soon and promise to post more pics as well. Take care!

Sad Days

Well, I just lost my job last week due to the economy, so did another co-worker, Hi Nicole!!! I feel your pain.
The worst part is David had to be pulled out of pre-school since we can't afford it and getting financial help from the government has been a pain, as if it isn't painful enough to ask for it, we have to really beg for it...
I am looking for work and may have a job within the month... but the worst other than David being pulled out of a wonderful class with great teachers and other children to socialize with is that my 9 year old husky is sick, I can't take her to the vet due to bills I am trying to pay off from Kermit (the crazy husky who eats things he shouldn't), I owe over $2,000 on him still and they won't let us take our dogs until he is paid off and I can't afford to pay... all of them need their yearly vaccinations and check up as well as my poor sweet girl being sick... I just wanted to vent as I can't help but cry over her, she is in such pain and has been such a loyal friend, she used to be one of my lead dogs, I feel like a failure sometimes, and now more than ever. I hope she just has a "flu/cold or stress", but worry it may be more and that she might be suffering because of me and I can't help her.

JUST A QUICK UPDATE: VODKA IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!
