here is what's new

Grayson has figured out how to go from laying down to sitting back up. He is working on his crawling skills, and can sometimes go forward if he concentrates really really hard, but most of the time he ends up going backwards.







Thomas started Preschool.



It is a really great school, that many other parents have said really helped their child with a certain special need - Thomas's special need is just help with social skills and behavioral issues, and since he just can't seem to hold still, his "fine motor skills" such as holding a pencil, using scissors, etc. are lacking as well. I have a meeting with is teacher on Wed. to hear what they have accessed from his 10 day "trial" period that they have been evaluating him.
He loves school. He gets to take his Lightning McQueen backpack, and ride the bus to and from school.

CORN SHUCKING

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa - the corn from your garden was delicious!

oh what do you do in the summertime?

when all the world is green? do you fish in a stream or lazily dream, on the banks as the clouds go by? is that what you do? so do I.
Oh, what do you do in the summertime when all the world is green? do you swim in a pool to keep yourself cool, or swing in a tree so high? is that what you do? so do I.
Oh, what do you do in the summertime when all the world is green? do you watch a parade? or drink lemonade? or count all the stars in the sky? is that what you do? so do I.

I finally got a slideshow done.

This is what Thomas did this summer -(and there are a few of Grayson)

dover plan

I know I already posted our floorplan- but we decided to flip it, so that the garage will be on th east - so here is the new and improved plan - PLUS - pics from the other dover we walked thru - and I even flipped the images, so that it looks just like how our house will look.

Here we go

We are going to start building on our houses on Saturday!
We have our 4th preconstruction meeting tomorrow - and one more next week. I am pretty sure we will be doing some safety training, and digging and then staking our each house on each lot on Saturday.
Tyson and I keep singing "it's the end of the world as we know it" because we know we are going to be crazy busy for the next several months - but what we will get in the end - is going to be sooooo worth it!

of course....

I promise slideshows of pictures and then the computer crashes.

But we have it up and running again - thanks Dad and Nate!

but time is getting a little more cramped - we have closing on our house on Tuesday, and 2 NNHC preconstruction meetings this week, we are going up to Idaho this weekend, and we have several things we would like to get done before we start building.
I guess I will see what I have time for.

sooo many pictures

I counted - and in July alone - I took over 1,000 pics (gosh, I LOVE digital photography!) - and so far in Aug - yeah I know it's only the 4th - I have taken almost 400 - you could say that is an average of 100 a day - but I took about 250 at Bear Lake on the 1st of Aug, so that is why. LOL

I guess I need to make a few slide shows to get ya'll caught up on all the fun and kido cuteness - I will try to tomorrow (yeah, I know I say that everytime - but I mean it this time)
here are a few to start us off:
