Do you ever wonder....

Who reads these blogs? I know a few of you post comments and have made comments to me in person before, I just wonder who else reads them just to be nosey!! But regardless I love writing on here, espeically since I dont have time to do a journal anymore. I have written in a journal since I was 13 years old and still have them, so this is fun! I hope the boys appreciate it when they get older to look back and read these!

Well whatever, we are closing in on the big first "last" birthday! I know this sounds silly but every time I think about it or plan for the party I get sad, yet happy. This is it, no more for me, my LAST FIRST! YIKES! I guess that is why I a making the best of everything I do and why I have such a positive additude all of the time, I know time is going fast, so why not make the best of it! Doesn't pay to be pissed off or crabby, that doesn't get you anywheres! So anyways, we are 12 days away from being "1" and only 9 for the big party. So hard to believe, Owen is such a delight to be around, always happy, who could ask for a better baby! I do have to say that he is exhausting, he is so busy and mr. go! For the past 3 weeks he has started walking, he will pull himself up and let go of whatever he is hanging onto and walk 10-12 steps, and has done it more and more now! See pictures below! It is fun to watch him walk like a zombie, fall, then get right back up again!

Here I go mom

I'll stop and pose for a picture.... CHEESE!

almost there....

Other than that Bailey has started football and loving every minute of it, even after an hour of stepping on a nail and in pain, he practiced hard! He is trying out for QB again, also kicker! He kicked it straight thru the goal from the 20 yard line 8 times in a row....... potential Vikings kicker!! Wouldnt that be nice! I also signed Brady up for Soccer, I didnt feel we are busy enough (LOL) so he is looking forward to that! I thought that he could burn some of his energy off by playing, plus I love watching the boys play any sport and so does Owen! They are enjoying their last few weeks on summer vacation before school, their sitter went back to college so they have a new one. The Nelson boys have been watching them and I am not sure who is having the better time, Justin, Jesse or my boys!! LOL Thanks guys! I think they are both eager to get back to school, I know I am! The checkbook is always at it's lowest in the summer! LOL

In the last post I said that my one main goal before Owens party is to get the kitchen painted, well it got painted, only I didnt paint it!! I cheated and hired it out, but only because the price I was charged was too good to pass up! So now I can focus on other things and I have been cleaning house like a mad woman when the boys go to bed!

Rodney has been busy working alot of hours and has also spent his time helping coach Bailey in football as well as helping out my dad as much as he can, so we don't see alot of each other much these days. So that is that, I am sure my next post wont be until after Owens party, I have stock in kleenex that is forsure!

Isn't he a ham?

I love these ones...

Mr. grown up and all handsome....

This was my mini photoshoot for some projects I was doing..

Best buddies! He sure is a mammas boy!

GO VIKES!

Owen loves the Gator, it is just trying to convince Brady to give him rides!
