Flights

So I'm very excited that Adrea might possibly plan to come here to visit. Ken said he found some super cheap flights in October, so we might have to wait until then and just me and the kids would come. He also had a brilliant plan that anyone who wants us to come should pitch in some money and then we'd all be happy. LOL!! I don't really have anything else to say, just wanted to give a little update.

Majorly bummed out

So last night we were looking for flights to Spokane. A month ago they were between 200-300 dollars. Now they're more like $700. If we don't catch a break we won't be able to come. We have to get 4 tickets because Mason is too big to be a lap child anymore and we aren't sure what to do with Sonny. Take him and spend that additional cash or pay a pet sitter. I don't know, but I'm definitely stressed out about this. I have a bad feeling.

Getting to know the neighbors

Today our neighbors invited us to a memorial day bbq. It was very nice and we got to meet several of the neighbors in our complex. Mostly, because these are privately owned condos, our neighbors are all old. It was kindof awkward being the only young people until some of their kids, grandkids and great grandkids arrived. All in all, it was a good time. The boys had fun and they got to take some bubbles home. It was really nice having picnic food, actually, the salads, deviled eggs, hot dogs on the grill. I miss family gatherings with delicious food. I have a feeling we'll be invited to more gatherings and I'm excited. Bye.

Finally, pictures

I am finally posting pictures from our day at the butterfly conservatory. It was very awesome. They really liked Ken and would land on him, but the rest of us had to try to catch them(which you're not supposed to do.)
Hunter ready to catch one.
Very cool.
Random picture: Hunter baking muffins in the apron we got from grandma.
Ken is very excited to be riding the helicopter in Wiggles World at Six Flags.Who is having more fun, Ken or the kids?
Out of order, Mason having icecream at the butterfly museum. I love that it's on the wall in the background.
Our whole family.
Too good, no comment.
Hunter loved the carousel.
Mason, not so much.
I look fat. No looking up my dress.

We had so much fun this weekend and are so excited to be so close to the park. It's nice to know that we definitely will get our money's worth. Come visit, people.

Six Flags

Today we decided to get season passes to Six Flags New England for this summer. Ken and I will both have weekends off and we are super excited to plan some family outings. So we went today to check out the park and it's gonna be a fun filled summer. They have Wiggles town for kids and Thomas town. The water park is pretty kid friendly with the wading pool and stuff. Actually the park is so big we didn't get to see what all it has to offer. My friend Lynanne is actually working there this summer, so hopefully her and I will be able to ride some big people rides together and she'll get in for free. Plus some of Ken's friends owe us some babysitting, so that will be good. Having all the free guest passes makes me want someone to come here to visit all the more. (Melanie, any plans for a family vacation?) The park is only 20 minutes away. It makes me feel so lucky, because Silverwood was always a long drive. People come from all over to go to Six Flags. There was like a school group of teenagers from Quebec or something. (I'm guessing Quebec because they were speaking french.) So please come visit. Love you all.

Negativo

So sorry if anyone (Nichole) was super excited about the prospect of me being pregnant. It's a big fat no, thank God. I haven't been able to post because of moving. We are finally in the new place, though not quite unpacked. I still have to scrub the old house down a little, so that's annoying. As soon as I get the transfer cord to my camera I will put some pictures up, but for now I have to take Hunter to school. Love and hugs to everyone.

Pee house

My house stinks like pee. Sonny likes to pee everywhere but his puppy pads. Since we are moving I rolled up the rug that was under our dining room table and it was covered in piss stains on the bottom that weren't visible on the top. No wonder none of the hundreds of air fresheners I bought have been working. Needless to say, that rug went straight to the trash. I hope he doesn't do that in the new house because it is all carpeting there as compared to our hardwood floors that it's easy to wipe up the messes.
I got my bedroom set. Yea!!! I can't wait until Sunday, our first night staying there.
My period is late. I took a pregnancy test today at my gyno's office. Hopefully it's just a side effect of doing my egg retrievals so close together, but man it sure is freaking me out. Results tomorrow.
