JR is 3!!!!

Well he (we) made it to 3 years old!!! We are in the middle of potty training (very slow going) and I did it....I cut up the Binky (his favorite friend in the world) on his birthday. He was sooooooooo angry with me. Jr. told me I had to go in "Time Out" because I had cut up his binky. It has been 4 days now and he reminds me at least once a day that I "Broke the Binky"

Happy Birthday baby...


Here is a little rememberance of the day....

Two weeks before Jr. was born (oh baby)

Katie is 8!!!

Well I cannot believe we made it to 8!! James finally let me get her ears pierced, and we had a sleepover with one of her BFF's from school. It is so hard to believe that she is getting SO BIG!!

Umm

Umm lost all my pictures from The Killers and Depeche Mode....sorry no new concert updates.

Halloween 2009

Halloween has come and gone (whew). Another year down, not quite as dramatic as last year. Katie was sick from Friday on, but went trick or treating anyway (only to come home and puke later). Jr hated his costume up until the day of Halloween and then he was in full character. He called all his candy "treaters". He totally liked the spooky houses in Roxanne's neighborhood and was quick to catch on to Trick or Treating. I, unfortunately, have had to eat most of his candy while he sleeps as to keep the sugar high to a minimum.

More of our photo shoot with Jane.

The Pictures

Here are the wonderful pictures from Jane!! Be sure to check out her other work at cjaneshoot.com.

Pictures

Well after much procrastination and whining (mostly on my part), I finally was able to get some pictures done of my kids. Katie's first year was well documented every 3 months like clockwork. Jr. on the other hand, I have 6 weeks, 6 months and then....nothing more than snapshots. I was trying to schedule a day with Jane Basinger (cjaneshoot.com) who Maryann used for pictures of her boys. We finally were able to get her scheduled for Saturday with my niece and nephew. Friday evening, my nephew bit the dust on a walk with my mom and ruined his face.

Saturday afternoon we met up with Jane and she took a bunch of pictures (will post once I get). Jr. was being a total turd the entire time so it will interesting to see if any of them turn out with a smile.

First Day of 2nd Grade

Katie started school today, 2nd Grade!! She has not been sleeping well the past several days, I am sure due to the first day gitters more than anything. Jr. and I walked her to her door to line up with all the other 2nd graders this morning.

Jr. Mmm...Mmmm...Good

Jr. likes his spaghetti. Now if he could only manage to get it in his mouth.

Viva la Vida - The Gorge, Washington

We just got back from our trip to The Gorge, Washington to see Coldplay. It is really one of the most beautiful places to see a concert. Here are some photos of the scenery and the show.

Sunset, before the show started.

The lawn seating area behind us.

The view of the scenery from our seats

The millions of butterflies they shoot over the crowd

Viva la Vida...and Death to all his friends.

Katie's Stuffed Animal Pictorial Debut

Katie was taking like 90 pictures of her stuffed animals. Here are a few of the best.

Jr. Surgery #3

Well 3 surgeries before the age of 3!! We survived one more surgery with little James. Jr. had his tonsils and adenoids removed on Tuesday. He is getting to be a pro at the routine at Primary Children's Hospital now. All went well except for the hour long wait at the pharmacy for the antibiotics and pain medicine. He was eating and drinking the same day as if nothing had happened. He has been eating Popsicles like they are going out of style....I will be really glad when the are all gone.

Here are a few pictures of before the surgery in the waiting room and after in the post op area.

Little Brother's are so much fun

Katie is always looking for someone to dance with. Jr. likes to every once in a while, but today he wanted to wear the dance skirt to dance with her. He was shaking his booty and swishing the skirt to the music.

Dance Pictures

We made it after much run around to Katie's dance pictures. Here are a few shots from us waiting our turn.

Ride that Duck!!

I am not really sure why my crazy son feels the need to ride the resin ducks at my mother's house....but he really had fun. He even managed to get Katie and Grandpa to take a turn on old mother duck. Yeee hawwww!!!

Great way to deal with a wet diaper

James' buddy Joel was over the other night and Jr. would not leave his side. He was trying to get into the dryer and kept telling Joel it was "stuck". Joel followed Jr. downstairs trying to interpret what he wanted. Uncle Joel un "stuck" the dryer for him.....thanks a lot. Safety first at the Wadsworth house!!

April Fools!!

Man o man...I think that we definately outdid ourselves this year. Last night I stayed late to close the books, and to get some people around here for April fools day. I made several flavors of Jell-o and put all of the new sales guys office stuff in it (yummy).

Jasmina's desk was covered in snow (and I mean covered) and some silly photos placed all over the office.

My desk was completely cleaned off and a manequin was humping my desk.
