Busy Day

Well we packed up this morning and headed to my sisters house to meet up with my brother, his wife and their twin daughters (21 months old) and headed to the Vancouver Aquarium. Thankfuly we made it there and back before the rain set it. We had a great time! Cameron loved watching the otters (there so cute!) and of course the dolphins jumping. We did pretty good for having 3 kids under 2 and not one tantrum! They all got abit cranky at the end, but they were pretty tired. Well I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day being lazy.That's all for today.

Day after Day...

It's like the same thing every day. Cameron and I get up, he watches a couple cartoons, we play, go for a walk nd play at the park, come home have lunch, Cameron has his nap while I read a book or work on a project, Cameron wakes up we play some more and then I make dinner, then the night is practicly over. We so need to get another car so Cameron and I can at least go out once in awhile. I mean I can take the bus. but that means I have to take the stroller because Cameron won't walk the entire time and he's too heavy for me to carry. We barely know anyone around here. We don't go to any play groups (I don't do to well with crowds) I would love to start Cameron in swimming soon (I think there's a class in the fall), we'll have to take the bus for that. I'll have to find a more direct route to the pool.Otherwise we're doing good. I was thinking about getting a job on the weekends or in the evenings, but with Kris's work schedule I don't think I will be able to. Oh well it will only take us what twenty years to pay off all our loans!

It's a.......

Boy!!! My sister had her baby yesturday! He's so beautiful! His name is Reegan Aaron Gratton 7lbs 14oz. Jen did such a good job! She went into the hospital yesturday morning at 4-4:30am because her water broke and then they decided to induce her at 11:00am because she wasn't having any contractions (she had no more than a handfull from 4-11) and then thats when her pain really started! At about 3:45pm she started to push and at 4:25 Reegan was born! She's so happy! Aaron did a great job to, and he got to cut the cord. I'm so happy for them!

Weekends......

Don't you just love them? I know it sounds silly for me, because I'm home every day of the week. We get nothing done during the week and everything done on the weekends! Ross and Sarah are coming over today! It's nice when I get to spend some time with other adults (sorry Kris!) He understands me though. They are really great to hang around with because they just love Cameron! Which really helps! And of course Cameron just adores them!

Well I guess in one more year we're going to have to be able to afford another car. Yikes! Well we're going to get a motorcycle (for Kris) so that I can have our car, well hopefuly we'll get a different car because it won't be big enough anymore. I'm going to be my sister day care so I'll have Cameron and my (nephew or niece) and maybe a new baby by then and our car only has four seats!

Well since I've been sitting here for a good ten minutes and can't think of anything else to say, I think it's time to go.

Nothing Much

Well, my life is boring! I never have anything to write about. Well I guess it's good if I don't have anything bad to write about! Well the countdown has started and I'm excitedly waiting for my sister to have her baby (she's due in 5 days). Sarah should be getting out of the hospital today and her and Ross are coming over tomorrow night. It will be nice to have some friends to hang out with. I really don't have many friends where I live, (in my town I mean). And of course none of my friends have kids, so it's kinda hard to get together unless they come over here. I don't usualy let anyone look after Cameron unless they are family or really good friends. Well since cameron is napping and I have a couple hours of just me, I think I'll go read a book.

Camping.....

Well camping was great! Our trip started on Thursday morning, that is why I haven't posted anything in awhile. My mom picked Cameron and I up in the morning and we headed to the ferry. I know we only went to Sechelt to camp, but that is where my parents are living at the moment (at a campsite). Plus this was Cameron's first camping trip and I wanted it to be an easy one. There was only a couple of down sides which were the fire ban, so no toasted marshmellows over a camp fire, and Cameron fell backwards down the stairs of my parents trailer. He's fine, just scared the crap out of me. Kris came over on Saturday night as he had to work that day, and took Cameron on his first tromp through the trails, well the bush. So we all had a great time and Cameron only came back with a few cuts and scrapes.

My Reasons

Well to start off I wanted you to know why I decided to start a blog. Many of you I see very little of and also don't talk to you that often, so my thought was to start this blog so all my friends would know what's going on in my life. Also in hopes that many of you will decide to start one too. And to one friend who moved to Edmonton (you know who you are) maybe you will start your blog again so I know how things are on that end!

Life is fairly relaxed here. The scafolding is all up around our deck now and twist had a fun time exploring. It was to cutest thing, I told Cameron to keep an eye on Twist, so when ever Twist was about to jump off the deck onto the scafloding Cameron would grab his fur or tail and pull him back in! I wish I had a video camera! Cameron is learning words everyday! It's pretty cool. Yesturday his new words were "turtle" and "chicken". Well that's enough bragging about my son for today.

Well I decided to start my own blog. I'm not one for letting people know all my thoughts in my head, so I think I'll start by just letting my husband and a couple girlfriends read this. Kris, my love. He is just so frustrated with his little brother right now. Well I don't blame him, Kelly has been acting childish lately. Who would decline a job starting at $16/hr??? And this is his first job! Oh well take that matter up with him! Well my life has been pretty calm lately (I'm talking about family life here in Langley, not talking about in-laws!) Well lets see, Kris, me and Cameron went to visit Sarah in the hospital on saturday, she seems to be doing ok, she said probably another week and a half in the there before she gets out. We were going to stay and watch the fireworks but Cameron was getting to tired (well cranky). Sunday was also fairly quiet. Kris had to clean everything off our deck because they are putting up scafolding(sp?)- well there fixing the decks! Great, that's where Cameron spends most of his time when we're home! Oh well my sister is now on mat leave, so we'll just have to visit her more. Cameron his going on his first camping trip, though sadly without Kris. I'll going to visit my parents on thursday and since they are between homes right now they are living in a campground (well in a camper they just bought). So my mom invited us to come, but since Kris has to work on saturday it will just be Cameron and I. Well on other news, I'm going to be an auntie real soon! Well a couple more weeks. My sister is due on Aug. 24.
Well that's all for today
