Busy week

We started our week with a four month check up for Alexis. She now weighs 14 pounds and 12 ounces. She has dropped to the 75th percent for her weight, but still in the 95th for her height. She giggled for the first time last week, which of course melted our hearts. She has also discovered her hands, and likes to play with her new little toy.We also had to take Carson in to the Dr., because we thought that he might have asthma. She treated him with antibiotics for a sinus infection, but hasn't ruled out asthma yet. He tends to cough a lot at night.

My dad brought us his trailor in the middle of the week. He is going to let us have it. We are excited to use it soon. We have been working hard to clean it up really well. He used it for hunting, so it needed a little TLC. It has great potential! Thanks dad!

We found this un-invited visitor as soon as we opened it up. Kyle evicted him right away. He gave me the major heebie jeebies!!

Then the real fun began, when I decided to try and potty train the twins. I was sweating bullets that day! We had several messes......too many to count, along with a flooded bathroom. We had plans that evening, and didn't want to take the risk of accidents, so we put the diapers back on. I decided to hold off just for a couple of weeks, since the rest of this month will be very busy for us. I will have them trained soon, no matter what it takes! I may have to call in for back up! The balloons were a great reward, and helped to motivate them. We celebrated the end of our busy week, with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. David, Melissa and Aiden came for a visit. We always have a great time with them. Kylie and Carson loved hanging out with their little cousin, and they did pretty well sharing their toys.

We went swimming and had a B.B.Q at my parents house. The kids loved swimming, and even jumped off of the diving board. here is a picture of my lounge lizard.

This is my sister in law (Kyle's sister) She and her family just relocated to this area. She was a former Miss Idaho, and had tickets to the 60th anniversary of miss Idaho. She invited me to go with her for the second night. It was so awesome to see that up close. We sat in the fourth row. Kyle would have been in heaven.....especially when it was time for the swimsuit competition! he.he. Sherrie got to go up on stage and was recognized. I would love to go again someday, and look forward to seeing how Miss Nampa does at the Miss America pageant in January.We also managed to squeeze in another trip to the zoo. The kids love seeing the animals. There was a neat giraffe exhibit, where we could watch the giraffes eating inside their very tall house. One giraffe walked over and put his head against the glass right next to Kylie's face. It was so awesome. She was not scared a bit. Here are the cousins! Aiden is such a cute little guy, and he has an awesome personality. he has had a rough year, and it is always great to see him happy and smiling! Thanks for coming to visit us, we wished you lived closer.
