I had someone tell me that I needed to put more pictures on my blog ;) So here is a cute one of our little man in daddy's beanie. It is a beautiful day today, Vance is watching a movie and being such a good boy for me today.

Lazy Sunday

Today has been a rainy Sunday. It has made us lazy for the day :) We have been enjoying spending time together and watching football. I have spaghetti sauce simmering in the pot and have sporadically been cleaning the house. Vance took a good nap and when he woke up the three of us enjoyed a lunch of chichn n tots. For those of you who don't speak Vancenese that is chicken and tater tots :) I love days like today where the family spends the day just hanging out and loving each other. Vance and Ryan have been playing "shark". Daddy is the shark and he lets out a loud "rrrrr" Vance pretends to be scared and runs around the kitchen! Then roles reverse, daddy pretends to be scared when Vance yells "rrrrr" and then he bursts into giggles!!!! It is cute and very endearing to watch. He is a great dad!!

Beautiful day

It has been another pretty day in Bremerton. There is a slight chill in the air but no rain :) Vance has been enjoying being able to play outside. We got him a little slide from the Goodwill store the other night and he is in heaven. It is out back next to his little playhouse. I have been hanging pictures the last few days and the house is really beginning to look like our house! :)

a few pictures of the house

Picture one is the room that is supposed to be the dining room. We are going to use it as a guest room when we have the money to furnish it as such. For now it is going to be a workout room. Picture two is the living room. Three is self explanatory the kitchen :) Once I get more things put away I will take more pictures and post them :)

Busy weekend

It was a very eventful weekend. We bought a car this weekend. Of all things a Ford!!!! I say this because neither Ryan or I like Fords. We can't complain though at least we have wheels. It is a Ford expedition. Older but in good condition. Vance is getting along better now. His room is completely set up and it is big enough to house all of his toys and furniture. He is in heaven and wants to play in his room all the time. Today is the first day that it had not rained. Vance is outside right now playing. It is cold outside but it is hard to keep a two year old couped up inside. I am going to do some research to find a park or somewhere we can go and play ball and run around.

My little sweetheart

Well, it took a week for me to breakdown. Yesterday as I was trying to figure out where to put all of our clothes (with no dressers) I started to cry. Vance was in his room playing and he came into my bedroom and looked at me and said "You okay momma?" He then gave me a hug and said "I be back." He came back into the room with his pooh bear and gave it to me. Then crawled into my lap took my face in his hands wiped my tears and gave me a kiss. I'll pause for all the awwww's............

Then suddenly he started laughing and looked at me and said "Momma, I'm funny!!" You gotta love two year olds :)

Jan. 12th

Good morning all...

Woke up earlier than the birds today. Vance is having problems getting used to his new room. That and for the last three months he has been in the same room as me so when he woke in the middle of the night he was comforted knowing I was right there. So now when he wakes in the middle of the night and realizes I am not there he freaks. This morning at about 3:30 he did just that. Then he refused to go back to sleep until about 6 and Ryan's alarm went off at 7:30. Needless to say I am running on empty and yearning for some Starbuck's!!!!!

Since there isn't a shortage of Starbuck's here I should be content, however, we don't have a car up here yet and I have no idea if there is one in walking distance. The price of starting over is crazy!!! We had to completely replace out cleaning supplies, all toiletries, and all food which includes spices, condiments, meats, you name it!! My heart about dropped into my stomach when the cashier told us the total at the grocery store :) but we are set up with the basics and now it is a matter of time before we are back up and fully operational :)

My husband is amazing!! He gets up and goes to work every day and then comes home to help me with the house. It is coming together nicely. We have some things that we are not sure where we are putting them so they are staying in boxes. I have my kitchen almost complete and the living room is just about there as well. So today I am supposed to be working on the upstairs. Which will be challenging since we did not bring any dressers with us :) So I am off to start my next challenge, until next time.......
