Hand Me Downs are Great

What ya got brothers?
OOOOHHH A Tent for ME!
Ok Andrew, Let me get in here
This is fun Kenny!
Huh? What?
Thank you Kenny! What a great Big Brother!

Some people may say that we are pack rats, but we say that we just know how to hang onto special items that one day will come to good use and make someone very happy!!!!!

This tent has been in our family since Kenny was 2 years old! And he just decided that it was time for Jonathon to enjoy and start exploring the world of IMAGINATION.

Beach Day!

Spent Sunday at the beach celebrating August Birthdays with family and friends. Here are some pictures of Jonathon enjoying the day.

Our garage sale days

I packed up all of Jonathon's clothes and toys that he is done with and we decided to have a garage sale. This started yesterday AND needless to say we did not do well at all.

We had one customer all day AND that was my neighbor who bought a huge coffee cup for $1.

This is our weekend for the 4 day Memphis Days. (which is garage/yard sales everywhere) Now last year I was able to be right in the middle of the event uptown at Gilbert's grandmas house. But this year she is recovering from major surgery and just wasn't up to us taking over her front yard.....So I decided to hang signs up around town and down a few roads out here in the country. It's not going very well. We are about 1/4 mile out of town, down a dirt road about 1/2 mile.

Hoping that today will be a better day since it's friday. We are trying to make money to take Jonathon to the zoo before summer is over.

All is Good

Well I have missed blogging about my little boy. I THINK I finally have corrected my computer issues.

I also downloaded firefox and am using that now too. (Thanks Stephanie) It seems to be user friendly. Much more than Safari. So far I am happy. So hopefully no more problems and I will be staying off of IE.

Have lots to do when Jonathon gets up from his nap so will hopefully get back to normal blogging tomorrow.

Was sooo nice to hop over to Jaxson and see how he has been.

Hi to Barb!!!!! Will have some things for you to read soon. Thanks for coming out and celebrating our special day!!!!!!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my beautiful little boy Jonathon! Mommy loves you sooooo very much and is sooooo proud of all your accomplishments. Have a great day son.

I am unable to write anymore right now. I have been having some computer issues and we need to get them resolved. When I have corrected the problem I will be back.

And I will post my Birthday Post again. I have lots to say.

Anyone I follow that is reading this(Aiden,Jax) I think about your boys everyday and I wish I could still follow. I do catch a little about Aiden on FB. Please don't think I stopped caring. Many prayers and hugs to you and your little guys. I will be back. Take care. Christine and Jonathon

Countdown Time

I have 4 days! 4 days until my baby turns 2! Where in the heck did the last 2 years go?

And I have lots to do to get ready for his big birthday party on Saturday afternoon. We have been doing some remodeling since the 4th of July. I did not post anything and still will not say what we are working on(it's a secret). We want to surprise everyone that comes out to Jonathon's birthday party. And no, its not an addition with new bedrooms(I can still wish on that one).

Yesterday we had 3 graduation parties to go too. Has anyone ever hauled a toddler around to 3 parties all in the same day? I do have to say I am very proud of Jonathon. He did extremely well for leaving here at 12:45p.m. and not getting home until 7:50p.m. last night. The worst part of the whole day was travel time. We had to travel 35 minutes one way for the first party in Croswell for my nephew Kody. We went early to his party because we couldn't stay all day. Jonathon slept through most of our visit there which was a good thing. We did not get any food at the first party.

We packed back up in the van at 4p.m. to go to the second party which was an hour drive back toward our house and actually 15 minutes past our house. Arrived at the second party at 5:04p.m. By now Andrew and Kenny were starving, and me too. Dinner was supposed to be at 5p.m. Nope we did not get dinner until after 6p.m. Which I felt bad, because we literally ate and left.

Back in the van, head toward home. Run in and use restroom, load Jonathon back in the wagon and walk across the street to our neighbors. Yes our last party was our neighbors grandson graduating and it was right across the road.(thank goodness) But we did not get there until after 7p.m. So Kenny and Jonathon had cake. We sat and talked with a few of our neighbors and then Jonathon had enough. By 7:30p.m.(which is bedtime)he asked me for BLANKIE. So I took Jonathon and Kenny home while Gilbert and Andrew stayed and visited.

So to all those "PEOPLE" that always complain how I raise Jonathon(and you know who you are) I tried to keep him out for awhile to see what he would do seems how we were close to home AND he still wanted to go to bed at 7:30p.m. SOOOOO NAH NAH NAH NAH! Keep your comments to yourself from now on. I think I know what I am doing!

Gilbert and Andrew came home around 10p.m. They helped the neighbor pick up some things and got paid in food! (food is good) They came home with chicken and rolls. YUMMY! So Gilbert, Andrew and Kenny all had a chicken, roll snack last night. We all agreed that the best party was our last party at our neighbors!!!!!

Glad that day is done!
