What an Easter

Jason's Family met up in Tahoe for Skiing and Snowboarding, and fun stuff for Easter. We went, and Lindsey had Skiing Lessons (she's really good too, made it to second level after only 2 lessons. I have lots of pictures and stuff to post, I just haven't figured out how to transfer them. But in the meantime you can enjoy this video of Westley. He knows what a camera is for, and what to do in front of it.

hope everyone is fine. You'll hear from me again soon.

Something really old and New stuff

When Lindsey was in Kindergarten, I was working at a little place called "Crepevine". Lindsey went into the afterschool care called "club". Well, while I worked at Crepevine I recieved tips, and I saved these up and that's what I used to pay for "club". I ended up leaveing Crepevine in Febuary, because Westley was on the way. So I took Lindsey out of club because I could no longer afford it. Well, they had a summer program, and I needed a break from her, because Westley was taking up so much of my time. I enrolled her in the "summer club". It was a kind of "pay as you go" type thing. I know i didn't make my last payment, but I couldn't remember how much I owed. I had someone look it up for me, and they showed me I owed 234.00 for the summer, and 375.00 for the month of January. I was like "Oh my goodness, this is not right I KNOW I paid them for January". I tried talking to several people there and all they could say is "well that's how much you owe."

So cut to today, I finally get a hold of the "director" of the place, and tell her my side of the story, and she's totally willing to drop the January charge. So now, all I owe is the 234.00. I told her I would write a check and drop it off by the end of the week. So now, Lindsey can go to club if I need her too (course I'll have to pay for it and rates have gone up a bit, but it might be worth a few Lindsey free hours, and they'll help her with her homework)

I have also found a little place for Westley to go, even while still in diapers (because other then pulling down his pants he shows no other signs of potty training) Which is actually even more reasonable then "club". In fact, if Lindsey could go to this place, I'd take them there just for some alone time, and to get more things done with finding stuff for the kids to do. But they only handle the younger pre-school set. I'm really excited about it though, because Westely hasn't had much of a chance to interact with other kids his age.

So things here are going along fine. Jason still LOVES his new job, and Lindsey is excelling in reading so much, we started reading Harry Potter, because it would challenge her enough. And she's doing really well with it. Westley is getting bigger and bigger. And still has yet to really talk. Unless you mention Deigo, in which he'll respond with a big "Go Go!"

well that's it for now. Hope everyone is good. Hugs All around.

Lindsey's Growing too!

So here is Lindsey's slideshow. She really is growing up too fast, but that's just Life I guess. I don't know where her baby pictures are, I think I just have hard copies of them, I mean back in 2000, not everyone had a digital camera, right? Enjoy!

The many faces of Westley

As I tried to squeeze Westley into a onsie that was clearly too small for him, I got hit by the notation that he is growing up so fast. Lindsey is the same, and I will post a slideshow for her, but I completed Westley's first, since there aren't as Many pictures of him, only being 20 months instead of 7 years.
So I hope you enjoy the many faces of Westley. He's changed a lot, but he is still my little boy.

Time for an Update

Ok, I haven't been the best Poster lately, but I decided I needed to post today, and let everyone know how things are going (since nobody ever calls me *sniff*)

Jason's new job has been great for us. We thought the cummute would be really hard, but it's been alright so far, and he just loves the work he does there. It's barely been two weeks, and he's all set up, with Swag (he got a hat and fleece jacket with the company name on it) his own Laptop (much smaller then our family laptop, which has a huge widescreen) Business cards, (I keep a bunch in my purse and drop them off at resterants that offer a drawing for free lunch) And a new Cell Phone (well, not yet, but it's coming. He's waitting for some guy to come back from vacation).

He's extra excited because he's heard they might need to send him overseas to some of there other offices. He's getting ready to go down and get his passport. I don't think there can be a better fitting job for him. He's so happy, and that makes me happy.

Things at home are fine. I'm still having the issue with Westley not likeing Pants. (If you know where to buy kids suspenders PLEASE let me know!) But he's fine. He loves Diego (on Nick Jr.) so I got him a sheet set with Diego on it. He smiled so big, and it seems he's been sneaking into our bed a lot less often. I also found, while visiting a friend, that he loves Mega Blocks. My friend and I watched a 2 hour movie without a peep from him cause he was playing with those blocks. First thing I'm going to buy with Jason's first paycheck is those blocks. Westley's been getting more talkitive, which I think is impart with all his watching of Diego on tv. He says "Go Go" very well now.



Lindsey is doing Great! She very excited about her oppertunity to do Acting Classes. She also sold 52 boxes of girl scout cookies, so she is very proud of herself. She's doing well in school, and aside from always having too much energy at the end of the day, has been "in" bed on time lately.
One Monday, I went to the store, and Lindsey was standing on the edge of the cart. I stopped the cart and told her she couldn't do that, and I totally flashed back to when my mom would tell me and my brothers not to hang onto the cart. One of those times when your a kids and go "when I grow up and have kids I'll let them hang on the cart". Well, I'm grown up now, and I don't let my daughter hang on the cart, Why? She could fall and hurt herself, and it makes the cart really hard to push. I sure these are the same excuses my mom gave me when I was little. What goes around realy does come around.

On a final note. Today would have been Gram and Gramp's 60th Wedding anniversary. So if you are related to Gramp and are reading this post, you should give him a call.

Well that's it for now. If you want more news, you can always call ;-)
