It's a dreary day here in Pittsburgh. I got up and made Monkey bread for breakfast, Corban was very excited about that. After breakfast we went to Dick's and got a tee for Corban, some girls at church gave him their old tee ball bat, glove, and a ball, so we've been playing that a lot and we thought we would get a tee to see how he does. We also made a stop at Lowe's for some lumber so Johnny can fix the seat on his boat. Right now Johnny and Corban are getting ready to go mow the yard, I've got the bulletin to do and some cleaning. Not sure what we're going to do after nap, but Luke is coming over for supper and to play cornhole, at Corban's request.

I finally got back to the gym yesterday. It had been almost a month since I had gone. It felt good to get back, but I definitely could not do what I used to. On the way home Corban said, "See Di Di baby." He knows that Diana had her baby and I guess he really wanted to go see him. We actually dropped the boys off with Bonnie and Miss Jean yesterday so that we could go see Joshua. He's a cutie. He weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz and has the chubbiest cheeks and so much hair!

I am trying to potty train Corban, but I don't think it's going to go very well. He's peed on the toy chest twice already. At least he did come and tell me as soon as he did it. Caden is actually what's making it hard though, he can't leave Corban alone while he's on the potty and he can't leave the potty alone either. This is going to make for a frustrating day I think. Oh well, it's got to happen sometime, but if someone out there has any pointers for me, I'l sure take them.

We've had a busy couple of weeks. Last Monday we went to Altoona to pick up Johnny's cousin Katie so that she could spend a few days with us. She's the one who came to stay a week to help out when Caden was born, and she's headed to college at the end of the month, so she wanted to get in a visit with us. We took her home on Friday and stayed for Johnny's grandfather's 90th birthday party on Saturday. We drove home late and then were up half the night b/c the boys wouldn't sleep. The rest of this week is pretty clear, but I'm sure that will change fast.

While Katie was here, we went to play miniature golf one afternoon when I had Nina too. Corban did so well. I was afraid that he was going to chase everybody's balls and be a wild man, but he played his ball and waited rather patiently while the rest of us played each hole. He was always good for about 3 putts then he would pick the ball up and move it a couple of inches from the hole and then putt it in from there. He did however, make a legal hole-in-one! Yesterday afternoon we took the boys to the zoo for a few hours. We haven't been able to do Kid's Kingdom the last few times we've gone, so we started with that. We love our zoo membership and the fact that it's only about 20 minutes away.

We've gotten a lot accomplished today. Johnny made chicken and pasta salad for the picnic today - I made blueberry dessert yesterday. I did the bulletin and when I got home Johnny cleaned up the kitchen while I tried to organize and pick up the play room. That still has some work ahead. Both boys have been super whiny this morning, but after lunch they both went down well for their naps. Right now Johnny is headed over to the church picnic and he'll come back when the boys wake up so that we can all go over together. I am going to go watch some TV and cross stitch while things are quiet.

AHHHH! I'm back! We finally got our computer back, it's bug free and we got the internet all set up at church, so we're using their wireless. I am so thankful to have the internet back, I can't even tell you! A lot has happened since I've been able to post. We went on vacation to Canada, Caden turned 1, we've been to Kentucky, my nephew Holden was born, and I'm sure we're missing lots. I'll post pictures of everything in a while, I've got to see what's been removed from the computer and get my pictures downloaded first.

My baby is 1! We had a party for Caden here at church, and all of the family was able to be here except for Tim, Laura, Grace, and Holden. The day after the party, Mom and Dad took me and the boys back to KY. We were able to stay from Sunday until the next Tuesday, so we had a great visit. Corban got to ride the tractor and see the cows, he even got to feed them the "haybale" he made for them! Caden mooed and sqealed at the cows. Both boys had fun playing with Grace and being outside, except that it was brutally hot. Mom and Dad's house is coming along really well. It's going to be so neat and we can't wait to visit them in it next time!

Now we're back home and planning a church picnic on Saturday and a trip to the zoo tomorrow. both boys and I have had some stomach issues, Caden can't seem to get rid of it. We had to change his whole outfit three times yesterday on the trip home. Oh, and Corban had a little trip to Kings Daughters in Grayson yesterday. He got his finger caught in the door at Pilot and Johnny thought that it was broken. We drove him over to the medical center there on campus and had it looked at. They were going to X-ray it, but he calmed down and we iced it and could tell his hand wasn't broken, if anything there might have been a hairline fracture in his finger. Rather than wait on the X-ray, we came on home. What do you think Kim, should we got get it X-rayed now? Well, I guess I should go get a dirty diaper changed... Caden's, not mine!
