Kate, asleep in her toy box...apparently she slept there all night.
Heston and Kate on His 3rd Birthday.
Josh playing for the Dodgers. He has played several positions, and is currently doing REALLY well as catcher.
Heston at his friend, Lucie's birthday party.
Heston at his first game. He hit the ball, and notice it was off a pitch and not a 'Tee'
Kate and Heston playing at the ball fields during one of Josh's games.
Not sure how these pictures got out of order, but here is Heston and Kate with their Easter baskets.
Here is the burnt spot from Josh's little fire "experiment" As you can see, it is a good size spot.
Well the past week has been a full one, to say the least. I have been busy at work because my boss is running for a Judge's position in the upcoming election. Yes, my job could soon be changing to that of a Judge's secretary, which means I will be a County employee with County benefits etc. I am really hopeful that he will win the election and not just for my sake, but for the County's sake too. He is a good, honest, ethical attorney, that would be a GREAT judge.
Jon and several of my friends and family surprised me with a Surprise 30th Birthday party on Saturday. It was great to see friends and family (at my messy house!) after a dinner out with Jon. They really did "get" me. I had NO clue! Thanks everyone for the birthday cards, gifts and well wishes on my big day. My friend Kristi, has a friend Cathy who has lost a lot of weight recently and gave us all her old clothes! Seriously, I have 2 huge containers full of new (tags still on them) clothes. I have been blessed with a new wardrobe!
Josh has been busy, despite his being grounded. He has been working on a science project for the past 6 weeks. (well, more me than him) Well yesterday we Finally finished it! I have to take it to school on Thursday between 7-8 am -like I don't have enough to do already-He also has a Dr. Apt with a pediatric urologist on Friday, he has had some issues that his pediatrician wants to investigate further, so please pray all is ok, or that if there is a problem it will be easy to treat.
Kate is fine. She is excited about graduating preschool (ceremony on May 27th) and moving onto Kindergarten at "Josh's school" in the fall. I register her for kindergarten next week. She is also going to take swimming lessons every Saturday in June at the YMCA. She can't wait, she LOVES the water.
Heston is a little stinker. Yesterday while I was working in the nursery at church, Kate and Josh got to go to the playground (Josh has to go with me when Jon has to do camera's since he is no longer allowed to stay home alone) and Kate's class went to the playground, so I let him go too. Well, Heston wanted to go, and his class was not going to the playground...needless to say, a man doing "parking lot control" came into the nursery office with Heston in tow. Heston had escaped my vision/classroom and had made it OUTSIDE! He was on his way to the playground! He has also been pushing, kicking etc. Josh and Kate every chance he gets so it really looks like he is in the terrible 3's not the terrible 2's!! I have to constantly watch him.
Jon is ok. He is really tired of working out of town and working so many hours...and I am too. We are thankful for the job, but it is really starting to wear on us all. This is my schedule this week:
Monday: Josh game 6:00 Warm up at 5:15 (I don't get off til 5 and I work 30 minute away from home)
Tuesday: Josh game 6:00 AND Heston game 6:00 (what to do with Kate?)
Wednesday: Kate dentist 9:30, Church/work 6:00
Thursday: Take Science Fair project to school b/t 7-8 am
Meeting 6:00 pm for work...what to do with the kids?
Friday: Pick up science project from school b/t 7-8 am (so they don't throw it away, I wouldn't mind them trashing it, but got to thinking Kate could use it and so could Heston-)
Josh Dr. 9:00 am
I am supposed to work in there too Mon-Fri. 8:30-5:00
My parents have been a HUGE help and I am looking for a full time babysitter for Kate and Josh for the summer to help lighten my load a little, just not sure it will work out. I have also quit working in the church nursery on Sunday nights (effective immediately) and Wednesday nights (effective at the end of May). The little extra money was nice, but my sanity is much more precious to me!
OTHER NEWS:
Kate lost her first tooth on 4/9/10.
The boys had their baseball pictures taken on Saturday, so when we get them I will send them to you.
Well I guess that gets you up to date for now. Until next time!! Cheers.
