July 2010

It has been over a month since I posted any type of blog post.  I've been very distracted obsessed with the layout of my blog this past month and have been trying hard to learn html and other things that'll change things up and allow me to make it more "me."  Anyways I'm not done editing or learning by a long shot, but since it has been so long since I last wrote anything- I thought I'd do a post reviewing our exciting month of July.

July started off with a family trip up to Ontario Canada.  It took us 12 hours to get to my parents up north and after driving all day it was nice to sit and relax over a nice hot chicken dinner that my mom made. She had gravy, stuffing, mashed potato's the works.....mmm {i'm making myself hungry thinking about it lol.} Baby K was also soo excited to finally be out of the car and her car seat.  She was crawling all over the place. She had grown so much since my parents and bro saw her last.  It was like she was brand new to them all over again.

There were many many many events that took place while up in Canada.  Baby K got her first experience with sand when we spent a day at the beach.  She got to experience fireworks in celebration of Canada Day- but she actually slept threw most of them which was kinda shocking.  Baby K was dedicated on the Sunday at our church home away from home, and we got to met our new baby cousin Peyton who is just a little doll...sooo adorable.


Oh did I mention-I got my hair highlighted?  My cousin Megs so lovingly and gently pulled my hair through a plastic cap our last night up north in Canada...my Aunt Judy helped out too.  I now have hair the color it used to be when I was a little older then Baby K. I love it!!



Well our busy week up north Canada had to sadly end sometime I guess... we ended up back at home on Wednesday evening but not before stopping off at a Super Walmart to do a few groceries. The rest of that week was us unpacking and getting ready for my all day work shift Saturday as well as the arrival of my hubby's parents Saturday evening.  We had a nice visit with the Winckler parents Saturday till Sunday evening- they brought a little rocking chair from Maine for Baby K.  It is in need of a little TLC but when she's a little older I can just picture her rocking her baby dolls in it.  Speaking on the topic of growing up July 21st Baby K turned 10 months old.  It is so hard to believe that in two months time she will be a whole year old. How is it possible for all this time to have flown by!?!
I even started on her birthday invitations {I am creating them myself}....they should be in the mail early August...yes should be but with the way I am with correspondence threw old fashion mail it may be closer to the middle of August if I'm not careful.

Now a week before Baby K's 10 month birthday, hubby found himself with a job interview in a town about an hour from where we are now.  Soo we all piled in to the car and hubby took Baby K and I over to a mall while he went to his interview.  The place was so secure he said you can only get in if you have finger prints that match up with there files...it sounded so "Mission Impossible" like lol.  We would eventually have to move if he took this job.........but we are still playing the waiting game. Waiting to hear back, waiting to see if they offer him the position.  Hubby said the interview went really well. He rated it a 9.5 out of 10.  {Prayers Requested-thanks!}

Well that's all for now...month is almost over. We'll see what's in store as the days go by.  Ohhh how can I forget to mention this.  Today July 29th Baby K took her first few steps.  Hubby counted nine in a row before she toppled over.  It was so exciting and scary to see, it is another sign that she is a growing girl!!
