Enjoying Summer!

Not too much to report on this end. I am just enjoying my time home with the boys.

Jake is in camp again this week and next since he likes it so much.

It also gives me some time to spend with just Luke and he loves it. Only problem is he is becoming quite attached and I can't even seem to go to the bathroom alone! I can't wait to see what happens when I go back to school in Sept!

I have been taking him to the gym with me and putting him in babysitting while I exercise. Inititally he didn't like being left but once I am gone, he has a great time!

The boys and I might go back to Daufuskie with my parents this week but we are not sure. We might just stick around here since we will be going to LBI on Aug 11 for about 3 weeks.

Josh has been busy with work and the fire dept. He left on a fire call around 3:30 am on Sunday and didn't get home until almost 10am. THere was a bad house fire in the next town. After getting home he went on another call for a car accident at the car wash. HE gets there and low and behold, my parents silver jeep is rammed into a telephone pole!! The guy at the car wash was driving out and somehow did lots of damage to the car. I have put up a picture to show. Luckily, no one was hurt!

New Toy

This week Jake went to camp. He had a blast! Luke unfortunately, caught whatever Jake had last weekend and spent the first half of the week sick. Such a sad little guy when he doesn't feel good.
The boys also got a new toy this week. We really wanted to get a nice wooden swingset but they were a little pricy. Especially the one that Jake picked out of the catalog. It was priced at $13,000!!! I told him to start putting more money in his piggy bank.
So anyway, we got one of those Little Tikes inflatable jump houses. Jake calls it the "jumpy house". He loves it and could spend all day in it. Luke on the other hand, is not so sure about it.
I will get some pictures up soon.
Jake is signed up for camp again next week. This past week was a dinosaur theme and next week's theme is "Icky Sticky". I can't even imagine what that entails!!

Weekend Update

We spent most of the weekend at home since Jake hasn't been feeling well. He had a fever of almost 104 yesterday which really concerned so I called the pediatrician. She wasn't too concerned about it and told me to just watch him and if he wasn't better on Monday to bring him in. He seems a little better today but still wants to stay "on the couch in my jammies".
Hopefully it was just a 24 hour thing since he is supposed to start camp tomorrow.
He loved going to school this year so I signed him up for a couple of weeks at a preschool in town for camp. He will be going from 9am-1pm and having lunch there. He's so excited about his new lunch box! I am curious to see how it goes because he is a BIG PB&J fan and the camp is nut free.
I am hoping to get to the gym more this week since I tested out leaving Luke in Kids Central (babysitting) and he seems to like it.

July 12, 2007

Luke did good sleeping AT HOME (these are the key words) since we have been home from LBI. He slept great Tuesday night. Wednesday we went to pick up Aunt Ashleigh and she and I got to go workout at the gym. Jake and Luke got to play in Kids Central (aka babysitting) for about an hour and a half. We left and went back to Josh's parents house to get them to sleep. That was just an exhausting task. 2 hours plus later, they were both asleep! Gramps got the joy of watching them while Mommy, Aunt Ashleigh, Aunt Jessica and MorMor went to go see the new Harry Potter movie.
NEedless to say, I was excited since i hadn't been to the movies since BEFORE Luke was born. Josh took me to go see Wedding Crashers in late August of 2005 to take my mind off the fact that labor with luke was just not coming as soon as I hoped it would!
As for Luke sleeping, I guess he is just like his Mommy. I am told I was the BEST sleeper...as long as I was in MY crib! :)

We just got back from spending a few days down at Long Beach Island.
Jake had a blast swimming in MeMe and Uncle Jay's pool and playing with Kaitlyn.
Luke is still going through his unsure faze. (aka- NOTHING makes him happy)
He also was quite the night owl both nights we were there. Mommy would have like to stay a couple more days but functioning on no sleep just was not working for her! :)
So hopefully since we are back in Mendham tonight, Luke will sleep.
Stay tuned...

July 2007

I have been so bad about keeping up with this blog AND with taking pictures.

I am done with school for the summer so hopefully I will be better at this.

We just returned from a week away at my parents new house on Daufuskie Island, SC.
The boys had a wonderful time and were so excited that Uncle John and Aunt Rachele were there!

Josh and Jake did a lot of fishing and Jake got hourly rides in the golf cart which he LOVES.
I am going to put some pictures up.

Yesterday Josh was in the Brookside 4th of July Parade and Jake was so excited to see all the fire trucks.

June 2007

It's been so long since I have updated this! I have been busy with the end of the school year.
School FINALLY ended on Friday the 22nd and I am so excited about it!!!
We are leaving Tuesday to spend a week at my parents new house on Daufuskie Island, SC ('Fuskie as Jake calls it!)
We will stay until right before the 4th of July and then come home. Josh is in the 4th of July Parade so I wanted to boys to see that. For those of you that don't know, back in December Josh joined to volunteer fire dept in Mendham and has been going to class 3 nights a week and FINALLY just finished last week.
The rest of July will be busy. Jake will be going to summer camp at a preschool in town most mornings. Aunt Ashleigh is coming home from Alaska for the month!! YEA!
THen in August we are heading down th LBI before the dreaded school year starts again.
I promise this summer I will be better about keeping up with this!
