Long Time

Wow it has been a long time since I posted last. Not to much has gone on. We went back to Florida in March for my 30th birthday. We had so much fun. What can I say I love Disney.

Alden is growing up so fast. It's crazy. It seems like he grows more and more every day. He will have these full blown conversations with you. Now if only we could get his bedtime routine down,the potty training, & his eating habbits we would be set. He still hates sleep. We have taken to just letting him fall asleep on the couch when he is tired. Sometimes that is 8 othertimes 10. Its just such a fight everynight the stress is just not worth it!!! The potty training is a nightmare he just dosn't want to do it. The food is getting better, although if he had his wish he woule be eating cheerios, "dog food" (what he calls Cocoa Puffs), and toast for every meal. Maybe the occasional chicken mcnugget thrown in for variety :) I bought that Double Delicious cookbook and I have been cooking out of that. The recepies are really yummy plus we have gotten him to eat two bites of every meal so that is a start. At least he is getting some form of veggies right?!?!?!

This summer is going to be a busy one. We are finally beoming adults and plan on doing a ton of work in the yard. Yesterday we spent the day working in the front yard and ou flower beds all cleaned up and put some fresh flowers in (the pictures don't do it justice but I felt silly running across the street to take pictures), and Rodney made a hot box for our veggie starts, which are huge:

We are excited to have a garden this year. Let's see if it ends up working out. We are also planning on throwing up a deck in the backyard, building me a craft cottage (once Rodney builds the deck so he get's his wood working skills up) I am really excited about the cottage. As you know my house is not very large, and having the cottage will give me a space to sew, scrapbook, or just plane relax with my own space. We also plan on geting the garage all cleaned out and giving Rodney is own space out there, but first we have to paint it since the old paint started chipping off, and we have to paint the trim of the house too. We also have to work on the inside of the boat for some overnight trips. So a lot of sanding and painting there. Plus for Christmas we got a membership to Point Defiance, NW Trek, and the Seattle Aquarium. It is going to be a really busy summer, but I am really excited about it.
