Blah!

It's a complaining post so you might not want to read it, but I just want to vent it into words...

Have you ever had one of those days when you just want to quit?? I know it sounds way ungrateful and selfish and horrible, but today it just one of those days. Every little thing is getting on my nerves. The only time Cason doesn't cry is when I am holding him. He doesn't sleep for more than thirty mins and even then, it is only laying on me. Don't think about telling Adalie no today either, she will blow up and throw a huge hissy fit. It didn't help that I went to bed at 11:30 and then was up from 3:30 to 6:30 with Adalie. She got to sleep in until 10:30, but Cason woke up at 6:45 and I had to stay up with him. Just wanted to complain to someone and the blogging world seems to be the best listener at the moment. I know the day will get better and tomorrow is a new one. But right now, at this moment, it really stinks.

New Teeth and Runny Noses

Cason has 6 teeth....and it looks like 2 more coming in. He is barely 6 mths old!! Crazy right?? Adalie was the same way. She pretty much had all of her teeth by 1 yr. My next kid will probably be born with teeth. Definitely plan on me freaking out then haha. He tries to eat everything. Paper is his favorite at the moment. He gets mad when Adalie gets a happy meal and he does not. Adalie had left her pizza on the floor and in about 2 mins, there was pizza all over the carpet and all over Cason's face.Quite a fun thing to clean up. This boy is ready for some real food. Is that just a boy trait?? They just eat and eat and eat??

Cason also has a really bad runny nose and a low fever that I think might be because of the teeth coming in?

Letting Him Cry

So, this weekend we started some hard core training. It has been 4 nights of letting Cason just cry it out during the night. Although it broke my heart, and I had to leave the room every time (I went to sleep with Adalie in her bed). I hate, hate, HATE letting my babies just cry. It might just be working though. He slept from 7:30pm to 7isham last night (knock on wood). PLEEEAAASSSSEEE be working. Maybe we will get to move him back in the same room with Adalie again?? That would be nice. I hate tip toeing around in my own room at night and TV time in bed with Brett...Keep up the good work buddy!!

Summer Vaca Cont....

So! Back to our summer 2010 Vacation. With LOTS of pictures!
We left you in Idaho, now onto Colorado Springs!
After the wedding in IF, we followed Brett's parents out to Co to spend a few days with them there.

It took almost 14 hours.....one straight shot with two little ones. Fun Fun!!It was so fun just to get to be there with them and relax. Colorado Springs really is a beautiful place and I don't think I would mind ending up there when all is said and done. A perfect Little Big City.
We took Adalie and Cason to the little rec center there with Grandma and they both loved the water!
 
Brett's dad took us on a little fishing trip and I won the first catch =) Adalie even caught two fish herself on her little Barbie fishing poll.

I was way impressed. We love fishing and lots of outdoor fun. I always get nervous driving up through the edges of the mountain to get there, but I am a scardy cat. LoL All in all, it was a wonderful trip.
My only complaint? It was way too short, and I didn't take enough pictures. December is too long to wait to see everyone again!

YayyyYYYAAyyyAAy!!!

Brett found our camera!!!! WOO HOO!! Looking through all of the pictures now, I am SO excited and relieved!! Not only was our wonderful summer vacation on there but Adalie's 3rd birthday is on there too and I would've felt very sad and guilty losing those. I am saving them ALL right now to the computer on the off chance our camera is lost again soon. LoL

This means I can get back to blogging about our wonderful summer vacation.....tomorrow. I am so tired.

Autumn

Autumn is my favorite. Well, almost as much as the Spring Beginning. I love it when the weather starts to get a little cooler and there is always a light breeze in the air. All the holidays will be coming soon, and I love that everyone just seems a little nicer during the holidays lol. Today is a perfect light weather jacket day. I can even turn off the AC and open the windows to let the cool breeze in the house. I miss seeing all the colors on the mountains...
I cannot believe we have already been here for a month. I am completely satisfied with the pace so far....so far. It doesn't seem quite as busy or demanding just yet, even though I know it will be soon. For now, I am enjoying the time with Brett home often. We need to get out and explore though and find fun things to do in Des Moines. Any suggestions??
For some reason I am lacking for thoughts when it comes to blogging today. Sorry this one isn't very interesting. I just want to relax and take in the wonderful afternoon. I think we will go to the Zoo tomorrow if the weather is this nice all weekend.
