Following blogs...

Every month or two I catch up on people's blogs (even more often than I post on mine, eh?!). Several follow The Pioneer Woman which I've checked out a couple times as well. The other day a post on her blog was shared with me about Usborne Books -here. I was so excited because I sell those books!! AND I love them just as much as she does, if not more!!! You can check them out at my website!!

Remembering...

Remembering that day 8 years ago. I can't believe it has been 8 years...

I was under the weather and decided not to share it with my co-workers so stayed home. I logged into my dial-up (my how times have changed) and saw the first plane had hit and perhaps even the 2nd. I remember feeling shock then I called my parents to see if they'd heard. The day and week passed in numbness...

I'm so thankful that God is in control... I wish I could leave all in his hands and let him control me... We heard so many good things at our church convention last week about prayer.

New Words & Comments in our house!!

Kolby is learning words and sounds!! His newest word is uh oh uh. He says bonk, crash, hi, bye bye, nigh nigh (for bed), mama, dad, Kyle (not just like that but I don't know how to spell it :)), barks, moos, acts like a monkey, quacks (usually while looking at books in meeting!!), yes & no (both in words and sign), diaper, cheep cheep (bird), cheesssssse (for pictures)... I'm sure I'll think of more!! He and Kyle LOVE to play together! Kyle reads books to Kolby. The newest game Kolby plays is to ride the fire truck into the room, make a big noise to get my attention, I say "Well, HI!! How was your day today??" He grins, looks at me... I say, "Bye bye, have a good day at work!" and he drives away with a wave!! Over and over and over....

Kyle comes up with big words and comments! The other day while driving down the road he said, "Mommy, you desperately need to get some stuff done?" Ummmm... Yes I do!! =D

While Grampa Wayne and Gramma Dawn were here last week, this was the conversation with Grampa as repeated to me by Gramma:

Kyle: What you doing Grampa?
Grampa: Shaving. (I think he asked if Kyle does that...)
Kyle: Maybe when I'm 81.

Hope all had a good Labor Day!
