Jody is M.I.A. (missing in action)

Where have I gone... Between family vacation to San Fransisco, volunteering in Katelyn's school, field trips, music class, soccer practice, t-ball, homework, Primary, birthdays, retiling our bathtub, doctors appointments for the kids, and of course doctor appointments for me, etc. etc. etc., it seems as if life is just cruisin' by. Here is a recap of our last couple of months.

We drove to Gilroy, CA (south of San Fran) to visit my sister and bro-in-law. We had a great time and the kids were soooo good in the car. We only wish we could have stayed longer and not left a day earlier than planned so Carter could go to the dr. because of a Carter horrible cough and an ear infection. He was such a trooper and was still so good despite his sickness.

Kirk went to the preschool zoo day field trip with Kaleb so I wouldn't have to walk all day long. Thanks Kirk!!! Luckily another dad came along so Kirk wasn't alone. Being the only men, Kirk and Ryan got to pull Ms. Peggy's wagon the whole way (kids and all)

Ever since we moved into our house we have being meaning to tear out the bathtub surround and retile. Some of the tiles were broken and the previous owners "fixed" them by spraying expanding foam into the hole. The result was a really discusting looking bathtub. But I am happy to announce that there is no more expanding foam plaguing our bathroom- yeah!!!

Look at that expanding foam. I can't believe we lived with it for so long.

Kirk and I wondered if our bathroom would ever be a working bathroom again. Amazingly enough we did it!!! We are so proud of ourselves. Now, don't get me wrong... it is not perfect by any means but we learned a ton and it looks pretty darn good and clean. I will post the "after" pictures later. (see disclaimer below)

Carter had many baths in the kitchen sink while the bathtub was under construction. He didn't mind one bit, the only trouble was that the sink needed to be free of dishes before he could take a bath.

Kaleb & Carter had dr. check-ups. Kaleb got 4 shots so he is now eligible for school. He started complaining that night about his arm hurting and so we looked and it was red, swollen, and hard. It lasted for a couple of days and then he was sick to his stomach and threw up. This is the first time any of our children have had a weird reaction to immunizations.

Kaleb weighs 42 lbs and is 43 1/2" tall
Carter weighs 20 lbs, and is 28" tall

DISCLAIMER: I don't have pictures for all of these things listed because our lovely hard drive that is less than a year old crashed and has left me pictureless and fileless. We have never had a hard drive crash so needless to say we haven't been diligent in backing up our files. The last time we did a back up was in 2007- oops!!! Luckily for us Kirk has his ipod that had most of our pictures (small files, but we will take whatever we can get) on it. But as for all my other files, they have vanished in thin air, and I am using a half functioning computer.
P.S. Never buy a Seagate hard drive. Even though the hard drive was recalled they refuse to do anything about it.
