Ohh where has the blog gone!

Seriously, we are still alive in Temecula. Just a little busy than usual. With fun things of course! Jakes mom came down for two whole weeks, and it was amazing! To just see a family face was nice! She helped out soo much, with the kids, making dinners, and even cleaning my home! I am sooo grateful for her visit! We got to just hang out most of the time, and we even went out and did some fun things. One of the most fun outings was to the local carnival! There was a pumkin patch, and fair rides. Reese fell in love with the bungee jump, and did it two time. Each time was 15 minutes, so it seemed like the whole time! Both of the kids did the swings, and Brody is such a butterball, he just relaxed and enjoyed the ride! CHUNK! He is almost as big as Reese, I jsut cant believe it! Then, I challenged Jake to this blow up rat race thing. It was huge, had tunnels, hills, slides and it was full of air. You know, one of those blow up things? I was really pushing Jake telling him that he was afraid to lose, that is why he didnt want to do it. So, it bugged him, that I could possibly beat him at something and he went and paid $1 each for 4 more tickets to try and beat me. Sure enough, he won! Its funny, we would never think of doing something like this because we have to watch our kids, thats why it was soo nice for Mom Lay to be here! After the race, we were both short of breath, hurting lungs, coughing, and I was sweating. I didnt think we were out of shape, but it was sure worth every hard breath of it!

We also made these adorable egg carton spiders to hang from my mantel. They were soo much fun, Reese helped with painting them, her favorite thing to do right now. And mom lay and I finished them up. It took us over an hour to finish them all! But, my mantel looks great! It was worth the time! We sure do Miss everyone in WA. Unfortunately, we are not going to make it up this year. Our finances are just too tight this time of year. When Feb. 2010 comes you will be seeing us. Jakes sister is getting married, and I am soo excited to see that day! Hopefully someone will have a spot for us to sleep at their house? We will see. Hope all are doing well, we miss and love you much!!!
