A little story

So we are on the way home and I stop at the grocery store with my sister and kids in the van. I hop out and run in while they wait.

After I finish my quick shop I walk back to the van and see the front seat is empty and think: hmm the kids are probably grumpy and Naomi had to go into the back to help them. Then as I get closer to the van I realize that the babies seat is not where it usually is and I begin to panic. I start to hyperventilate as the unthinkable has actually happened, one of my worst fears. I slap my hands on the window and press my face into the glass as I realize that I HAVE FORGOTTEN MY BABY.

With my face pressed into the window I look at the other seats in the van and notice something peculiar, they are empty as well. I then notice a brown leather purse. I don't own a brown leather purse. There are no car seats in this car. I pull away from the window and look to the other side of the parking lot where my van is actually parked and I walk toward it.

"cookie monster has HAS COOKIES!"

-Ryan

When Ryan wants something now he always seems to need it and he will repeat that word. For example:

I need need juice.

or:

I need need need COOKIE!

I love that his language seems to be coming along more now. We have been somewhat concerned that he is behind for a while and I actually have an appointment with a Speach Language person for him. He does seem to be blossiming in his language though. He often comes up to me and smiles his little grin and just says "Hello Mommy" It makes me melt.

Unfourtunatley the more he talks the more he seems to have to argue with Breanna about. Fun times. Sometimes they play so great sometimes they just fight. Oddly enought I think they enjoy having a sparing partner.

Im feeling like I should blog.

Ok so Jon had surgery this week. He got out of the hospital today he is tired and sore but otherwise recovering well. He expects to go back to work after the Easter weekend in April. It has been a very busy week for me and the kids involving babysitters and driving back and forth from the hospital to see dad. I have hardly been home so I have not been blogging or checking blogs till today. A big thank you to everyone who watched my kids or helped with meals and everything that people have done to make this week a little easier.

Belated Anniversary

I Just realized that a couple of weeks ago I hit my two year bloggiversary! Yay for me!

Out with the old. In with the new.

Well on friday our old mini van died in a flaming blaze of glory. Well actually a steaming sputtering mess. Jon got it to a shop where they told him not to bother fixing it. Anyway we went shopping saturday and now the newest memeber of our family is this:

She is a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport. It is pretty loaded with power doors. Dual sliding doors. Power drivers seat. It has quad seating and a split back seat so you can take out only half of the back seat if you want to. A couple of the big things I notice is the suspension is so much nicer then our old one and the ride is so much quiter inside as all the seals are so much better and the molding is not coming off the passenger side.

Anyway we are so excited and we love the new vehicle.

Oh one last thing. We went to Great West Chrysler Dodge Jeep. They treated us wonderful and really put effort into making the vehicle what we want it to be. If you are looking for a vehicle I suggest going to them.
