PAX Prime

So, Joel and I were standing in this massive line with a few of our friends. When the line started moving I could see our friends ahead of me and Joel was a few heads behind. I felt someone grab onto my waist and I whipped my head around ready with a slew of annoyed valley-girl sounding insults and it ended up being Joel. He had caught up with me. The guys standing next to us were laughing with us. 

Everyone was polite, security was helpful and kept the crowds moving. Joel bought me some pink and black dice. We had fun checking everything out. Pax is HUGE.

Saying Hello to our friends at Flying Frog

Writing time

At my place, doing my thing.

I'm writing my first book and so far it has been an amazing experience.

Tonight was the first night I let Joel read a page from my story. Exciting!

At the park!

Bowling!

Happy Birthday Melody! Bowling was fun!

Thank you Ryan and Kelley for babysitting!

New Camera!

One week without a camera was enough.

Wednesday fun

Swimming in Grandma Dawns pool! FUN!

Baby's 1st black eye

Clifton, our little climber, fell off the back of the couch and onto the hardwood floors with his forehead. There is an impressive lump above his left eyebrow and a black eye developing. The Doctor said it looks worse that it is... it looks really bad. I'm sure he has a headache but he's doing his normal activities. Poor little guy.

Cute little things

During the garage sale on Saturday, Sable noticed a poster with robots in it. She started to sing "I am a robot" in a robotic voice and started to dance like a robotic.

While in the car, the new Nine Inch Nails song came on the radio (my favorite band) and I could see Cliff start to dance instantly. He has great taste in music!

Sable and I baked a chocolate cake today. She's a very good listener and understands directions. She liked stirring and pouring ingredients together. I liked that she didn't make a mess at all. She's very detailed and focused in the kitchen. It was fun doing something new together! (Yes Joel, there's cake for you when you get home.)

Cliff can now climb to the top of the piano and flick the dining room lights on and off. I'd worry about it more if he wasn't so good at it.

Saturday was a fun day for Grandma Dawn. She had the pool fixed up and all three of her grand kids were swimming, playing and floating in 4 feet 80 degree water. Everyone has a beautiful tan.

The busy continues

Joel's is preparing a game for a game industry night this week, and I'm getting ready for my summer finals. I'm working a double shift on Saturday and all day Sunday. I'm looking forward to Monday next week when we get to relax!

Garage Sale Weekend

Garage Sale tomorrow in Lacey. It has been a very busy week preparing. I have one more car load to drive down and I need to make signs. The house feels lighter!

5 years old!

August 1st, 2008 was the day I started this Blog.

Next I'll record him saying all 8 of his words and the 6 signs he uses!

Getting Ready

I was helping Sable get ready for school today, it's her last day of Summer School. I stepped out of the room for a minute and when I came back, Sable was sitting very still while Clifton was trying to slip shoes onto her feet. My kids are so sweet!
