It's all worth it....repeat again, It's all worth it.

Well it's the 2nd round of treatments and Dr. Gilliland decided that we should up my dosage. Well I thought that it would be like last time... NOT!!!

Everything makes me cry, in fact I started crying at the taco commercial where the little boy invents the flat bottomed taco (I'm sooo proud of that little guy)... I know, it's totally lame. I will be laughing one minute and then pulling a Cruella Devil mood the next, and my poor husband is the one that usually gets the joy of dealing with me.

I don't think that the body is suppose to be forced into doing things that it doesn't want to do, and my body is as stubborn and cranky as I am. Have you ever been on one of those spinning teacups at the fair? Well that's the fun I get to experience when I stand up too fast, wheeeeee.

Anyways, when I am sitting on the floor crying, in pain, and going for the fun ride, I just keep saying that it will all be worth it when I finally have a baby....and I hope it happens soon. I guess Heavenly Father is really testing me this time around, and man I better have 2 or more babies because my patience is ASTOUNDING...hehe.. btw, that's just a joke.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

We are finally back home from Alberta and it is SOOO nice. Even though I miss everyone it's nice to finally be home. I left with Nathan on July 13th, Wayne flew down on July 18th, and we came back on Monday.

Quick notes to wrap up the week:
-Karalee moved back to Alberta and is living with her friend Joella and her kids, it should be good for Kar and Iliegh is learning some fun tricks like saying, "It's not FAIR" and "I didn't make the mess so I don't have to clean it."
-We went to the 24th of July celebrations in Glenwood and saw "old" friends, it's always nice to see everyone, but it's crazy to see how much everyone has changed, especially their kids.
-Saw Lindsay, Jack and Riot, once again it's so fun seeing friends again.
-Lisa and I had a lot of fun together as she took a couple of days off while I was there. We took some maternity pictures of her, it was SOOOO much fun!! We went shopping and just hung out.
-The week flew by sooo fast and I am sorry if I missed you this time, but I will definately have to come see you when I come down when Lisa's baby is born.
-Enjoyed just being with Mom and Dad again, even though I am 27 I still want to be around my Mom and Dad because they are just the coolest.

Now that we are home I have been trying to get the house "organized". There are things that are just piled in areas and I can't stand it anymore so I just started throwing things away and moving stuff and just putting it in it's place. I admit I am not the most organized person but I would LOVE to be.

We are also trying to get as much stuff done as quickly as possible because we are leaving for Seattle soon. I can't wait to go but I am sure ready to come home and stay home. I am tired of traveling, and not being home. We have this new house, and a new yard and I feel like we haven't even been able to enjoy it.

Okay so this blog is SOO boring, my brain is just not thinking tonight. I hope everyone is having a great summer, and I hope that you are all staying cool.

GO NATHAN GO NATHAN GO!!!!

Tonight I put Nathan in a nice warm bath and not even 5 minutes later he was yelling that he was cold and wanted out. This is NOT normal, Nathan LOVES baths, the water could be ice, his lips can be blue but he still wants to keep playing. Anyways, I told him to play for 5 more minutes while I cleaned up the upstairs. A few seconds later he says that he is cold and I said to stay in. Then he yells that he has to poop, so I RUN into the bathroom as fast as I could. He is out of the tub standing on the mat in the funniest position (holding it in) so I put him on the big boy potty and he poops!!! YEAH/ PHEW, I am glad I didn't have to catch any floaters in the tub. We do a happy dance, and Nathan goes back in the tub. Not even 2 minutes later he yells that he has to go poop again, so I run into the bathroom, (I have to admit I didn't really believe him) and put him on the potty. We sit there for a minute and then *plop* he poops again. I couldn't believe it. This time I did the happy poop song (sounds like the Dora song but the lyrics are changed to poopy things), and the happy dance.

I am SOOO impressed with him. Not only did he poop in the potty but he made the connection with the feeling that he needed to poop, telling me and then pooping in the potty. I guess we are going to get serious about this potty training stuff soon. In fact, I am going to take the potty on the trip with us, so we can pull over on the road and go poop.

So next time you see Nathan congratulate him on being a big boy and telling mommy that he had to poop and then pooping on the potty.

Good Job little buddy!!!

Finally things are moving along!!

So after many weeks of fighting with contractors to just show up and give us a quote, then we find one, but the day he starts it is pouring rain, I was fed up with all this landscaping crap. ;) However, I am happy to report that the walkway guys came yesterday and have been working like mad men and I can actually see some progress. So hopefully when I get back from Alberta all that we will have to do is lay the sod. (fingers crossed)

Oh, BTW ladies, especially you single ones. If you can get to my house today or tomorrow you should try because these workers are all young, cute, and have, well, good bodies. I have been staying away from the windows so that I don't get caught drooling...hehe... All the other contractors that I have ever worked with have been old, fat, and if they take their shirts off you throw up in your mouth... so this is a nice change. Am I allowed to talk like that? I guess like my mom always said "You can look but don't touch."
