Tuesday night we decided to take advantage of the "Cash for Clunkers" program and we traded the Jeep Wrangler in and got a 2009 Ford Focus on Wednesday. So, in a period of about 48 hours we went from a Jeep Family to a Ford Family. Something I never thought I would be!
Prior to taking the Jeep Wrangler to the dealership, Hubby stripped it down of all the custom parts he has added to it over the years. We will sell those off on Craigslist. It was hard for him to see it go, but he realizes it was the best decision. The Wrangler didn't go without a fight though. It scratched Hubby's legs up pretty good as he stripped it, and when we were almost to the dealership, it stalled. It put up a fight till the end, and now it will never be driven again...
Now we just have the Kia left to sell. We have had several people interested, so hopefully it will sell soon.
Susan and Zak came down on Wednesday to drop Phoebe off with my parents. They have a wedding in Oregon this weekend, so they were bringing Phoebe down to 'Camp Nana' before flying off the next morning. We had everyone over here for dinner. We smoked a turkey breast all day. That has to be one of my favorite things we do on the smoker. It always turns out soooo yummy! We all enjoyed a large dinner together. Since Susan and Zak were flying out of Denver the next morning, they decided it might be easier to stay at our house for the night, since my parents' house is another 30 minutes in the opposite direction from Denver. So, they spent the night here with us. Once Courtney was in bed and my parents left we played a few games of Sequence before heading to bed. They were up and out early the next morning to make their flight. We get to see them again on Sunday when they come back to pick up Phoebe. At that time we will be celebrating Zak's birthday. It's so great to have them close again!!!
Thursday the girls and I spent a lazy-ish morning at home. Usually Thursday is library day, but since Courtney (and myself) had been up later than normal the night before we skipped it and relaxed at home. That afternoon Hailey came over to play. Her mom, dad and sister went to Kinsey's first ever "back to school" night. She starts Kindergarten on MONDAY! I can't believe it! How did time fly so fast??? So, Hailey came over to stay with us. Hailey and Courtney are in the same class at My Gym, so the girls played, then we fed them dinner, and then we all headed to My Gym. Right as we pulled up in the parking lot so did Tony and Kelly. So, the timing worked out great!
Oh, and Kisney lost her first tooth that same day. I know I said it before, but I still can't believe it! I still clearly remember the day she was born and we went and saw her in the hospital! How did we get to this point so darn fast?!
Yesterday we did something pretty fun. The Fountain Creek Nature Center was holding a special summer program for 2-3 year olds called "The itsy-bitsy spider". I have never been down to the Fountain Creek Nature Center because I didn't know where it was or if Courtney would like it. But I saw this program advertised in a kids magazine I picked up at the library.
Courtney really enjoyed looking around the nature center, they really have it geared towards kids and it's pretty hands on. They took us into their education room and did a little puppet show about spiders. They had a few real spiders for the kids to look at including a black widow and a tarantula named Rosie that the kids got to meet in person! After that we went outside for a nature walk. All the kids enjoyed looking for spider webs and we found LOTS of them! It did start to rain on us, but it was a light rain so it wasn't too bad. I look forward to taking Courtney back there!
Today Courtney has her first birthday party to attend at Chuck E. Cheese. She has no idea this places exists at the moment, and that all changes today. We shall see what she thinks of it!
My allergies sure have been bad for about the past 2 weeks. I hope that whatever is causing them to act up so bad settles down soon!
I have been trying to give Kasey her cereal daily for the past few days. She seems to HATE it. She can be in the best of moods until you try to feed her cereal. Then she starts to cry. Not sure what all that is about! Not sure if she doesn't like the taste or the texture. We will keep trying, I may have to buy another brand to see if a different brand tastes better to her.
Well, I have already been up for over an hour with Kasey, so I guess I better go and get my day started!
