Behind...Once Again

I know alot has happened since I last blogged so let me see if I can remember at least a few of them.

Our computer is having some issues and is in the process of being fixed so I have been without one for awhile...I feel so lost without it. We're having our weekly family dinner with my parents tonight so I'm using their computer to finally update the blog. I can't post any pictures because they're all on my computer...hopefully they're still there.

Jeremy got our pool up last week and it is GREAT!! We have such a good time swimming in it. I keep trying to get Parker to practice what he learned in swimming lessons but he keeps just doing the circles with his arms and not kicking because he can touch the bottom so he doesn't have to kick. Brooklyn is pretty brave in there too. She gets all excited. I'll dunk her under and it doesn't scare her. She gets bored with it alot quicker than Parker does though so we try to go swimming during her nap.

We had a garage sale a couple of weekends ago and got rid of Parker and Brooklyn's old clothes, baby stuff and a few odds and ends. We did really good on Friday but not a big crowd on Saturday which was weird. Parker was there with me on Friday and was quite offended that those people were taking his stuff. There was a police man that kept driving around the block every 45 minutes or so. I told Parker to wave to him. Parker runs out to the end of the driveway waving the whole time and says hi to the policeman. The policeman waves back and says hey there. Parker turned around, and laughing said...momma, he just called me mater. So cute! He makes me laugh.

Jeremy injured himself a few weekends ago. He went with the youth to a lock out and fell while playing broomball. He fell onto the ice, right on his knee. A week later it was still hurting so he finally went to the doctor. He has a broken knee cap. The doctor said that he could splint it or Jeremy could just not squat...so of course he said that he'd rather not have a splint.

Brooklyn turned one last month. We had a party for her at the house. We invited family and a few friends. It was fun. Unlike Parker, she actually tried the cake. Parker wouldn't eat his cake at his first birthday. We did a ladybug cake which turned out SO cute. We had a hard time with it though because our a/c was out at the time so the icing kept melting. We would have to ice a little section, put the cake in the fridge and the icing in the freezer. Get it out 5-10 minutes later and do a little more. We are so grateful to have our a/c fixed now. Texas summers are too hot to have no a/c.

I got my hair cut. It had gotten pretty long. I liked it long, but it took so long to fix. I had decided awhile back that I was going to let it grow out so I could donate to locks of love. The minimum donation is 10 inches so that is how much I got cut off. My hair donation will go to make a wig for a kid with medical hair loss.

Well, that is all that I can think of so I guess I will wrap up. As soon as I get my computer fixed I'll upload some pictures.
