Zach's Yearly Check-up
Today Zach and I voyaged out to the pediatrician's office for his yearly check-up. He is a healthy, thriving 3 year old! The doctor does want his eyes checked for some turning in, so she will be setting up an appointment with the pediatric opthamologist here in town.

He is still on the high end of the growth charts weighing in at 38 pounds and is now 39 inches tall (both in the 90th % of the chart).

The New Republic High School

Construction on the new high school is coming right along. It has been fun driving by it throughout our time out here in Republic and watching the progress. It is certainly a large beautiful school! Construction is to be complete by Christmas so they will be able to move into it over the break.

Tire Troubles

I am dealing with a slow leak in the front passenger side tire of my mini-van. Every other day or so I have to fill it up a bit so the tire sensory isn't flashing messages at me. I've also gotten in the habit of carrying John's cordless air pump with me all the time so I don't have to stop by a gas station to fill it with some more air. Eventually I will get around to getting it fixed!

Happy Birthday, Zach!!

I can't believe my baby is already 3! What a great little guy he is becoming. He has such a big heart and usually a huge smile for everyone. And man is he a daredevil! This child certainly keeps me on my toes. You just never know what you will find him in (or climbed up on) next!! lol I love you little man!!

A beautiful sunrise. With school now in full swing, I am getting to quite a few of these now :)



****Ok, I am going to attempt on doing some catching up here! (since it is 12/6/09 today - UGH). Since I am so far behind on posting the pictures, I'm not sure how far I will make it. Man this year sure has flown past me!!****

Halloween Costumes are Here!!
The boys were so excited to see their Halloween costumes had arrived today. And of course they had to try them on right then. :) They each picked out what they wanted to be this year (despite suggestions from Mommy...those days are gone it appears). Zach is going to be Larry Boy (from the Veggie Tale cartoons...need to still pick up a black long-sleeved T and pants to complete the outfit). Drew is a Star Wars X-Wing fighter pilot - according to him not just any pilot, but X-Wing Luke (need to find some black shoes for him still). I spent a little more on the costumes this year, but boys can't wait to be able to dress up in them after Halloween whenever they want...so hopefully they will get a little more use out of them.

Netflix from Alaska!!
The boys have been wanting to see a Little Cars movie all summer. And while it was at the top of my list most of that time, we had yet to receive it...always said "long wait". I was notified last week from Netflix that they were sending it from another location (other than our usual Springfield...and occasional Tulsa deliveries). I was pretty surprised to see it arrived all the way from Anchorage :)
