okay...I'm jumping on the confessions wagon...

1. I love how I haven't posted anything for over a year and a half. It makes me want to laugh and cry all at the same time. You see, that's when Randy started his MBA.
2. I'm lonely too. Randy works alot and is working on his MBA alot. I'm also too shy and awkward to do anything about it.
3. I'm not sleeping. More sleep studies to come!
4. I love Thanksgiving and I'm excited to have it with friends this year.
5. I LOVE the midwest, the rolling hills, fields of grain and all the beautiful TREES everywhere. I think I helped make those--forests of green.
6. I'll be happy for Randy and sad for me when he finds a job back out west.
7. I want to move to a foreign country NOW!
8. I also want to throw out all my stuff and backpack there--hippie tendencies--YES!
9. I hope this Christmas goes off without a hitch--everyone satisfied.
10. I want to do better in everything
11. My pumpkin soup is to die for....oops there goes another one!
12. Nothing I wanted to got done yesterday.....there is, thank Heavens, this weekend to catch up!

Annual Transportation Fair in Rochester

The fair is so great every year--lots of kids but lots of trucks and anything that drives too!


Grey got to see one of his favorite characters while there...CLIFFORD! He was very excited. I had to make him wait and take turns with the other kids, that was hard




Thumbs up up and away!


Here's a picture for Grandpa! Sitting in a John Deere!


The mail lady was packing up her truck an hour early--just as we were trying to get pictures--she still had a route to deliver!


Grey's first time in a school bus!


After the trucks they just wanted to play on the pretend ones at the park.


After all that they were pretty tired, but they were so good, I bought them each an M&M cookie. Grey loved it, Lilli still has to figure out that there is yummy cookie underneath the milk chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand.

Time to catch up so....here we go!!

I've got too many pictures to post and not enough time so I'll just start on the first and keep going......tomorrow that is!

One Sunday morning it was a little hectic, I ran the kids downstairs to get them some food--fast--then ran back up to finish something else. I guess it was a little too long, because this is what we found after coming back downstairs!


Then is was off to the local zoo with our son's preschool group. They had a great time!





Sorry about the sideways pics but they are so cute!

The Children's Museum - up Nort, Eh?

We --last minute-- went to the children's museum when Randy was out of town one week with the Sivertsons. We had loads of fun and times of terror--security got called on missing Spencer and Drew S. --once a piece. Lilli fell off a chair and got her (and mine as a mommy) FIRST bloody nose and mouth. Grey had a good time--complete with elegant face paint. I just love how they have that set up for the kiddo's--do your own face paint with mirror and fun! They also had a SUPER fun Sesame Street exhibit (where we took most of our pics) and all the kids didn't want to leave it!

The kids on the 'street'--wouldn't get together to pose......huh.


Lilli playing chess in the park--papa is very proud!


Grey was a little bummed Oscar wasn't home but was smiling anyway!


Spencer found his favorite part of Sesame Street!


Grey loved the home made toys.....what a tall guy!


Two cute kids getting the face paint....


.....and since that wasn't enough.....shaving with face paint!


Drew crawling around being cute!

Daddy's Work

The benefit of Randy working at a Large truck company and having a little boy who still thinks big trucks are cool!



Grey was a little more than excited. Here is a nice big eight wheel drive military vehicle we got to sit in and walk around. There was a little window in the front for the driver to see what he is pulling up to and Grey and Lilli had lots of fun looking through and laughing at each other!



Grey loved the firetruck best of all. I'd say LIlli did too! He got to turn on all the lights and ring the siren and horn. It was great. Lilli and I climbed in the back and she ran back and forth looking out each side window waving Hi! She would also giggle every time Grey honked a horn or made any kind of noise. She's the noise one!
