An Addiction....

Addictions are never fun but this one is just so fun to watch.....

Thanks to his Aunt Mati, CJ is addicted to playing CARS on X-box!! Every morning he can't wait to start playing. He always ask (which is good) and LOVES to play.

When Josh was here, he helped get all different cars and open different parts of the game. Well....Jason tried to start it for him one night last week and really oopsed!! He lost everything. So now the kids are in the process of gaining everything back.

Thanks Aunt Marti and Josh!!! ;o)

Maybe this will help with potty training - unlock games ONLY if he tries...LOL

We have had rain!!!

We have been in a drought (stage 3) here and thankfully have had rain for the last 2 days and looks as though we'll have some more today (hopefully later on today).

On Thursday, I went for my follow-up with the surgeon and got clearance to drive!!! That was huge! I still have to take it easy for the next couple of weeks but slowly can get back into doing things. He stated everything looked great and I was good to go :-)

Now it's so quiet here. No more visitors...Marti and Josh left and now Jason's parents have left. It's gonna be different for awhile but we'll get back into the swing of things. Even Jason gave me a hard time Friday night about dinner....we had dinner while Marti was here and same with his parents and wanted to know what was for dinner - I suggested Logan's...and that is what we had.

Oh for some more funny news....Jason isn't liking Suzi very much right now...LOL It's all because she gave mom her camera to use on their vacation and teach her afterwards. It's a Nikon D40 - guess who played with it? ME!! It's a great camera and you can do so much more than my current one. Suzi might be making Jason spend more money that he really doesn't want to spend. It can do monochrome pictures, trim, overlays and all sorts of things. It was really great playing with it. Which, by the way, I still have the instruction book. I will have to get that in the mail soon.

That's it for now! Going to see a movie today as long as the rain stays away for a bit longer. Everyone knows that movie theaters and malls are crowded when it rains...LOL

Lots of things have happened since my last blog entry

Wow...where to begin? Let's start on our flight to Texas. CJ was so excited to be on the plane. He switched a few times on which seat he wanted with Courtney but finally decided on the window seat :-) While in the airport waiting, we stopped in a little shop and found him a small Southwest airplane - he was estatic!!! He played with that the whole time waiting.

We arrived in Texas after a bumpy flight. Thank goodness for medication..LOL Both Marti and Misti were there to pick us up and help with the luggage since I wasn't allowed to lift anything including CJ!

We went to the Great American Scrapbook Convention on Saturday and boy did we walk!!! Marti ended up buying a large cart so we could put CJ in it since no strollers were allowed (even though we saw a few there). Courtney got bored but was really good during the whole time.

I bought a Slip N Slide for the kids and they enjoyed every minute of it. They stated that after 2 days, they broke it but we are unsure. Both CJ and Courtney were upset when they realized they didn't get to go swimming in the cool thing Aunt Marti bought while we were visiting.

Also while we were there, there was another addition to the Shafer household. His name is Norton and he is so cute and skinny compared to Storme...LOL He fits well into the family and I believe Josh considers Norton his :-)

That wraps up our trip to Texas for now. I will post later about my surgery which I'm still recovering from and not overdoing it and the fact the Marti and Josh came to help take care of me during that time. I must say CJ is so sad that Josh is gone - he is CJ's best buddy!!!
