Ramblings.....

We have actually survived the Wii, but boy were we sore for a while. I know the first weekend we had it we could hardly move. Shows you how out of shape we are. We have definitely got our moneys worth out of it so far. The only issue we have is trying to get the TV to come on, it was one out of Wyatt's room and it was dropped along time ago when we were moving and now it does not want to come on and you have to do a little attitude adjustment on it to get it come on, and that is really a pain.

Wyatt went to the doctor on the 11th and he weighed in at 32 1/2 lbs and 33 1/2 inches. He is about a pound for every inch. He checked out good. AJ went also for a weight recheck because when we went in April he had lost some weight and the doctor wanted us to keep an eye on it to make sure he did not continue to lose weight. So much to our surprise he actually gained 5 lbs in 3 months. But we have not figured out how he did that. He is not a very good eater, unless it is breakfast the boy absolutely LOVES breakfast. As far as the rest of the meals we have to make him eat. So we will continue to just keep an eye on his weight.

Speaking of AJ his birthday is on the 31st of July and we will be having his party on August 2nd, I believe from 1 to 3 at our house, if anyone is interested in coming. I hope to get the invitations out in the mail this weekend. We are waiting until after his birthday for a party because Adam is working the weekend before. But that is ok because it means he will be off for our Anniversary on the 3rd of August, we will not be doing anything special but it will be nice to be together. Can you believe we will be married 12 years and together 15. Boy times flies by when you are having fun. ;-)

The kids start back to school on August 4th so the summer has flew by. AJ is ready to go to open house to see who his teacher(s) are, and Katie is just going along with the flow, I think she is a little excitied about going back to school even though she does not act like it. So on AJ's birthday we will go to the school for open house, what a birthday present, to find out who your teachers are going to be. We went and bought school supplies and a couple of school uniform shirts and book bags. Well then I was going to take Katies book bag to have it monogramed and AJ said I want my done too. So I took the bags to the shop and come to find out for Katies (girls) initals it would be done like "KWN" first, last and middle name, well for AJ (boys) it would be "MAW" first, middle and last so needless to say we just put AJ on his.

Adam is ready for them to go back to school, so he can start volunteering for some overtime. He has found out that the checks with overtime are really nice. So have I. The only problem is the gas. It is pretty expensive for his regular 7 days.

I guess that is enough rambling for now. I will try to get some new pictures up soon. I think Dad is coming to town soon, so I hope to get some pictures of him and the kids. Give all the nieces and nephew a kiss for us. Take care.

We love you,

4th of July Surprise

Well it is the 4th of July and we actually don't have any plans. Which is great, because we could all use some R & R. Because this is the 1st weekend since we got back from vacation that we all can rest and recover.

We did actually have a pretty big surprise for the kids. They got a Wii, can you believe it? We can't, because we actually never planned on getting one, but we always wanted one. This one happen to come at a REALLY REALLY good deal that we could not past up. We got the Wii, 2 controllers, charging station, and 4 games for less than you could buy a Wii. It is also the 2nd edition of the Wii because you can play game cube games on it and it is less than a year old. So can you see why we could not pass it up. So we have rearranged the living room put the Wii together, and Adam set up the wireless internet on it, checked the weather, news and adjusted all the setting and then the controller died. So needless to say we had to put them on the charger and from what we read it should take 8 hours to charge and it will be able to play 25 hours. So, I guess I should have thought ahead because they are driving me nuts, about playing it. So tomorrow after grocery shopping we should be able to play it. I can't wait, so you can image how the kids are.

So we shall be at the house all weekend, only plans we have is to go grocery shopping tomorrow morning. So if any of ya'll would like to talk to us, we shall be here all weekend.

Hope everybody is doing good and hope you all have a nice and safe weekend.

Love,

Wendy
