Its Been Awhile...

It seems like that will always be the title of these blogs!! I think about writing, but somewho something always comes up... so where to begin. Last post was while we were visiting in Ohio.  It was a decent time, enjoyed seeing most of the family, some more than others but I think that is normal to say the least. 
While we were there, we went to Kings Island, where Ben took a nice "trip" in the water park area and ended up with a lovely boo-boo... luckily he bouces back quickly and we still could enjoy the rest of the time there.  I think I ended up riding one adult ride, but it was worth the joy on Ben's face to have a good time... except the boo-boo & the rollercoaster... not a big fan of it!

We had a family reunion while we were there and that was a nice time... 4th of July with 40+ people, how could you not have fun! We also went to the zoo and the grocery store atleast 3-4 times a week!

When Ben & I returned to our humble abode, I had to start cleaning!! Dad, Mom & Travis were coming to visit only a mear 3 days after we returned home... needless to say, I didn't get much done! But luckily they dont seem to mind much.  Mom and I unpacked the office, scrapbooking room, and under the stairs... all areas that needed ALOT off work... but it wasn't all work.  We also went to Mt. Rushmore. What a great time, camping and sightseeing.  Ben loved seeing the "faces" and enjoyed the pool, minigolf, icecream shop, marshmellows (marshnellows) and the fire.  But it was a great time for us all.  Charlie even seemed to enjoy himself. :)



The day before grandma & pop left, Ben decided to go to the potty.  Not sure why, but I'm not complaining... now this has been my "full" time job... it has had its ups and downs, but its coming along.  Most days he does really well and I have only had to change him after he has taken a nap or gets up in the morning... Except today, he pooped in his underwear and let me say, that is just disgusting!! Its funny how it doesn't bother me in his diapers, but in the underwear, its just not right!!



Still on the job hunt... I'm hoping to get a call back from a local pharmacy in town, but nothing yet.  Now I have to really start getting at it because unemployment is starting to get harder and harder...

Well laundry is calling my name as much as I hate to admit it!! Part of my "job". 

Oh, I lost 6 pounds this week! Very excited about it... now only another 62pounds to go... according to my little tracker, if I lose 2 pounds per week, then I will reach my goal by March 2012... Hope I can! :)
