Bored....bored....bored!

Well well, I don't have much to say, except that I am currently in to movies that have more than one to them. AKA... Harry Potter, X-Men, Lord of the Rings, and the current one that I am watching right now, is Star Wars!!!! LOL I am SUCH A DORK!!!! I know most of you are thinking, what on earth does she do all day! Well now you know! I am just kidding I do more than just watch movies all day. I clean, shop, do laundry, shop, go to my Mom's house, shop and did I mention SHOP!!! Jory would say I am obsessed! Not a good thing to be addicted to. It is a good way to go broke! I really don't shop that much. I have been getting better about it. Jory would be proud! I went to Target the other day and I made a list and I STUCK to it! Yea for me! I told you I am getting better! So if you have made it this far down, you can probably tell that Jory is out of town again! Now I know a little how Jenny feels. Poor gal she NEVER gets to see Jeremy! I will most likely not see Jory or sleep in the same bed as him till Thursday night! I know that is not a long time, but it doesn't mean that I don't miss him or that Christian misses him. Just tonight he (Christian) got all upset that Jory wasn't here to eat dinner with him. So sad, but I took a picture of him kissing my phone to send to him. My Phone was all wet, but it was a cute picture of his lips! LOL I guess I will not take up anymore of your time! You have better things to do then listen to me ramble! Samuel L Jackson is kicking the Sith Lords' butt in Star Wars!!! I know, I know I am a DORK!!! Woops he just died! Oh well, I guess that is it! Ciao!

Tongue Tied and Potty training!

Well we think that Christian has his tongue tied down. He can't stick his tongue out all the way, he has like a heart shaped tongue! Jory noticed it a few weeks back. I was not real worried about it at first and I am not right now, but everyone that I have talked to says that I should have it clipped now, rather then later! So on Weds morning he has an appointment with Dr. Brack, and I am sure that she will send him to a specialist for it! I hope that with his tongue being tied, it has not messed with his speech. He has a hard time with "T's" and "P's" His "please" is "cheese" It was cute at first, but now I actually want him to say "Please". Well I should not expect too much from him, he is only 21 months! I can understand him, even when no one else can. He has been kissing, with the lip smack! LOL He is SOOOO cute!

******

Potty training.....where to start! Hummmm!?!?!? I ask him everyday if he went pee pee or poo poo! He has been telling me the correct answer. I have decided not to push him into it. When he does sit on the big boy potty, I DO make a big deal about it. He thinks that it is a fun game. I have not recently been able to get him to actually go potty when he sits on the toilet. But he thinks it is fun! So that is where I am at on toilet training! Does anyone have any advice??

****

That is all I have for now!

Okay okay I know!! Here are the pictures!!!!

Okay I know that I said that I would put some pictures of Christian and his new pool on the blog. Here is why I haven't done it yet...

I had to run to Target yesterday afternoon and by the time we got back and I got all of his clothes boxed up that do not fit him anymore, It was time for me to cut a couple of ladies hair! He is not allowed outside without me anymore because of the pool. So needless to say he did not get to swim yesterday! To top it off it is raining today! I will soon post some more pictures of him! He is SOOOOOO cute!

We are off to the lake this weekend and hopefully will be able to post some pictures of him in the lake water! That is all I have for now
Ciao!

Pool Time

Well last year we got Christian a little baby pool that is padded on the bottom and had toys ect. on it. It is TOO small for him this year, so Jory and I got him a new one. It is not real fancy, but it has a slide and Christian LOVES it. I like it too, not to mention. I put my feet in it an read while he is playing. I am always right there just in case he needs me.

We spend so much time outside, I love my back yard and my neighbors. They are so nice. We were outside on Sunday, Fathers Day, and my neighbor behind us was sitting outside with her dogs and she yelled "Dyan, your son is SO cute!" Then she asked if we liked cake and I said yes, a little too much. LOL and she brought over a few pieces of cake over to us! So nice! Our other neighbors are really nice too! We are so lucky to live in a nice neighborhood!

We are getting ready to go down to the lake this weekend. We will be coming back on Saturday night, because I will have to be at church on Sunday! So it will hopefully be a relaxing trip, but a quick one!

Speaking of church...tonight is the first board meeting and my dad is on the board. Hopefully it will be a great first meeting. There is a lot of changes going on in the church and It will be nice to have fresh views on the board. Hopefully we will be getting a new pastor soon. I really miss the Pusey's. I really hope that they are enjoying Idaho! So I guess I would have you pray for the board meeting tonight!

I guess I really don't have any other random thoughts right now. I will post pictures of Christian in his new pool when he wakes up from his nap today!

Ciao

An Update!!! (I added pictures!!!)

Hey Everyone! I wanted to let you know that I have updated since Jory's Birthday! LOL I must have deleted it by accident! OOPS my bad! Anywho... We just got back from Oklahoma this past weekend for the Swim Family reunion. It was a TON of fun! I was so happy to see family that we have not seen since Jenny and Jeremy's wedding. Dad #2, Jeremy and Jory all rode down on the motorcycles and Jen and I drove down in the car with the boys. Jenny started off riding on the back with Jeremy and when we stopped for food in Gardener, KS we switched. We stopped right out side of Emporia to get some gas, and I got sick. I think it was from the McDonald's that we ate! Oh boy how I hate fast food! So I did not ride anymore that day, and Jen drove. I felt bad because I think that she wanted to ride more but she thought that I was still felling bad. It was nice of her to drive, but I wish that she had told me that she wanted to ride more. Sorry Jen! Anyway, We had a great time. I got Christian some clothes at a garage sale for like $15 bucks. Good clothes! They are like Gymboree and Carters, they all look like new to me! Staci found some awesome deals too! We ended up leaving on Sunday morning, because it was supposed to rain. Luckily we missed the rain! I was glad to be done with the drive home! It was a stressful one for me! I got us lost! I don't get lost very often but for some reason I dicided that I wanted to go on another turnpike! The directions said to take the turnpike so I did! LOL It was the WRONG ONE!!! Of course it was, so .90c later we were back on track! Well we made it home that is all that counts! Not much else is going on in my life. Jory is going down to the lake this weekend. Our friends Adam and Paula have a lake house that belongs to Paula's parents. Well they are going down to do some work around the house. Like spray for Poison Oak and Ivy and put a railing around the porch. Stuff like that. I thought that Christian and I would just stay home. It would be easy to stay out of the way if we weren't down there! It will be a working trip anyways so no going on the boat. It is going to be a fast trip too. They are coming back on Saturday night. Sunday is Fathers Day. This is Jory's 2nd Fathers Day. He is such a great daddy! I love watching him and Christian interact! It is so cool the bond that they already have. Christian wants to be just like his daddy! Mow mow...That is what Christian says when Jory gets home! That means he wants to go an play on the mowers on the trailer. He knows how to drive them, just by watching Jory. Anyways, I think that is all I got for today! Oh yeah, if you are going to leave a comment and you don't have a Google account, please post your name with your comment! Thanks! I like to know who is posting comments!

Here are some Pictures from The ride sown to Oklahoma. Enjoy

Happy Birthday to Jory!!!

Well well it is Jory's 26th Birthday today! HE just got back into town from South Dakota really early this morning. Like a 2am. He is working all day today mowing and then tonight we are going to the Royals game with my parents! It is buck night and Fireworks Friday! Yeah, not everyone can say that they have have fireworks on their birthday! Anyways I will post about our camping trip once I have received pictures from my friends! Their cameras are a lot better than mine.
That is all I have today....HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORY!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

I'm Back!!!!

Okay Jory has been out of town all this week, and he took the computer with him. So I am back posting and reading your posts!!

We are gearing up for a fun filled weekend with our friends! We are going down to the lake, Our friends parents just bought a farm house down there and we are going to camp out on their land and go out on the boat! I am so excited! I went shopping with Paula yesterday to get our food for our trip. We kept the cost of the food down to around $50 per family. Not bad for 4 days! We leave tomorrow morning!

In two weeks we are headed out of town again. This time it is for a family reunion, in Oklahoma. We are also excited for that trip. Jory Jeremy, and Dad #2 are riding motorcycles down there and Jen and I are going to take turns driving the car and riding on the back of the bike with our hubby's!! What fun. Hope it doesn't rain....Jory said he won't ride if is supposed to rain. Grandpa Swim has been really sick with his cancer, so it will be really good to see him and Grandma. Not to mention, it will be really nice to see everyone else too! They have not seen Christian since he could barely sit up. They will be in shock to see how much he has grown up.

We are really trying to keep Christian's paci away from him during the day....OH BOY it is hard. He walks around saying paci, paci, paci.... Then he throws a fit until I can distract him with something else. AHHH!!! It is really testing me. I can't give into him every time he asks for it! Oh yeah to top the stress card, I am going to really start potty training him next week! That will take a BUNCH of time! We will see how that goes! The doctor says that I should not push him, but I have backed off of the whole big boy potty thing, and I want to get him excited about it again! We will see.

Paci...Paci...Paci....

I planted my flower pots last week, they are so pretty here are a few pictures of them.


I love my back yard...Christian and I spend a lot of time outside now that it is warm. He plays and I read. Usally until Jory gets home then I start dinner! I love Summer! The lake the warm and the tan!!! LOL

That is all I have for now!
