June Ramblings

I haven't been too motivated to blog lately but feel like I should give an update before the whole month passes by. The last few weeks have been pretty eventful! Friday we finally closed on our new (new to us) house! We haven't moved a single thing over yet because we have LOTS of work to do. We have slowly been taking off switch plates and taking down old ceiling fans and light fixtures. A friend is coming over tomorrow to put some recessed lighting in and wire in some smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and then we are getting some drywall/retexturing done, then lots of painting, scrubbing, steamcleaning, ect. I am so ready to just start moving.If you know anyone that needs a rent house in Pleasanton that is a 3/1, send them our way! We would like to have renter's in our house by August.  Also Pete's brother Zack got married this weekend. We are super excited for him and Amanda and so glad they live close!! The wedding was beautiful! Pete performed the wedding ceremony and Peter was the ring bearer. I was planning on posting pictures today but I ended up coming to Junction at the last minute this afternoon because my Dad is in the hospital. Not sure of a diagnosis just yet, he is getting blood transfusions all night, and I may know more tomorrow. Thats all for now, hope to post pics soon.

We are still here!

I know I haven't posted anything in so long but we are still here! Since the last post Pete and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary and had a great night out at one of our favs, a San Antonio Missions game. I am uploading a lot of videos for this post because some are from May and some from this week. Pete was gone at a conference all week so we are glad he is home! He brought me a watch as a surprise! I have been talking about buying a new watch since Christmas. Nothing fancy..just not digital and plastic. :) He did a good job picking one out! I had a pretty productive work week even though Pete was away because we finally got Peter in daycare for two days a week. We are just on a drop-off basis for Tues/Thurs. just for the summer while some of the teacher's kids are out of daycare. He already has a runny nose but other than that it is great for both of us! He took his first steps on Tuesday at daycare! I just caught a quick couple of steps on video this morning. I am still trying to convince him that it is fun! Today has been a pretty lazy day. I bought Peter a little plastic pool from Wal-Mart and made some popsicles out of juice and we have been outside in the shade most of the afternoon. I finally made Peter get out of the pool so he could take a short nap. I think we are going to try to go to church tonight instead of in the morning and I don't want him to be a grouch. Here are the videos!

Peter does not like me to help him eat anymore with a spoon. Here's his first try on his own.


I have been trying to show him how to sing in the microphone. He does it ALL of the time now.


Taking a few steps.
