So on a daily basis he interjects terms he hears from watching Thomas into his daily talk. End of July we're so excited to take him the Lakeville, MN to spend a 'Day with Thomas' and ride Thomas the Train and other activities. Can't wait to see how excited he's going to be! This Saturday Toys R Us is having a Thomas play date and story time.<br /><div><div><ul><li>Red lights are 'signals'</li><li>4-way stops are 'junctions'.</li><li>Turns in the road are 'bends'.</li><li>Sharper turns in the road are 'difficult bends'.</li><li>Tells me I need to 'apply my brakes' when I come to a 'bend' in the road.</li><li>After a bath he is 'shiny and clean'.</li><li>The driveway is 'Gordan's Hill'.</li></ul><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460044715294086178" style="DISPLAY: block;

I'm liking the convenience of everything, but missing the outdoor space we had at the farm. Chuck and Colton really miss the farm. Hopefully some day we can have a place with land and that's close to town. As you can see Colton has a love for trains or maybe more like an obsession... we now have a small fortune in his train collection... all of which he carries in his red backpack (or as he calls it, his packpack) which at this point must weight as much as he does!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400255698468554210" style="DISPLAY: block;

We accepted an offer on the house on Saturday... it took less than a week to sell. Yeah! It went on the MLS Monday night, we had 2 showings Tuesday, one each on Wed and Thurs and 2 on Friday. There was going to be a showing on Saturday as well, but they chose not to come out after we told them we had accepted an offer. It's all about timing that's for sure! We just have to get through the home inspection and appraisal... we've been through this before so there shouldn't be too many surprises and we're looking at a Sept 18 closing if all goes right. For now we're going to rent a house until we start the building process this spring. We have an opportunity for a great lot in West Fargo very close to my work. Both Chuck and I feel less rushed into building if we wait until spring and can do what we want and get what we want in our house.

The only question is, isn't the child suppose to have the double chin and not the mommy? When did that happen? He had them taken on May 31 in downtown Fargo. He was quite the busy boy and we did as he asked that morning. My little boss... I love you!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.susiebphoto.com/">http://www.susiebphoto.com/</a> click on proofing tab, password: shawnag The photographer blogged on the session as as well and hit the nail on the head.<br /><br />**Someone got a haircut last night and daddy was able to see first had how much his little boy HATES his hair cut. Thought we'd bring daddy with to see if he would do better with him instead of mommy. No such luck.... hopefully we'll outgrow this dislike.

Later, when Daddy got home we lit some candles and sang Happy Birthday to the birthday boy!

We played at the park this morning and we'll go for our annual ice cream treat when I pick him up at 4:00pm. He had a great party on Sunday with lots of family sharing his day and played lots of games. It was a great time. He was a busy boy as usual! I love you pal! You are the most spirited, determined, playful, energentic boy I know and I wouldn't have it any other way! LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!!

Not much to write or say.... Need to post some pictures of Colton playing outside. We've been pretty low key lately... except for me who needs to learn how to take a chill pill and relax about EVERYTHING. Can definatly tell Colton is getting close to 3... from what I hear it's worse than the 'terrible two's' and he's following along with what everyone has been saying. He's a busy, busy, spirited boy that I love so very much. I think I've lost all control and he has offically run his Mommy over. Daddy on the other hand....<br /><br />Looking forward to a wonderful summer and getting Colton's 3rd birthday party plans completed. He's having a cowboy theme this year. Hopefully we'll actually get some summer weather soon. Putting the house on the market again (and hopefully this time get it SOLD) after we get a few more things done to the house (new front deck, kitchen window, cleaning the basement, planting grass and a few more outside chores).Shawna and Chuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11529843883906556809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661809106396428425.post-85337110283363025022009-05-06T12:22:00.002-05:002009-05-06T12:33:58.667-05:00Long time...no post.

I didn't realize how much he had because I buy through the course of the year and just throw it in a tote. He is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">definitely</span> ready to go for spring/summer... as I am! About the only thing we don't really have is summer pj's. Darn it... have to do some more shopping! Think I'll be selling some of the 3T shirts from last summer that he didn't really wear to make room for all the new stuff! And I just ordered some stuff from The Children's Place yesterday... if I would have known what he had I probably would have thought twice about it... oh well... but...

Yesterday morning as I was getting ready to leave for work (later than usual... waiting for daylight) I noticed the driveway starting to get water. In less than hour the water was up to the fence where we park and getting close to being in the garage. I hurried Colton and I out of there and called Chuck and told him he better head home. I-94 was closed was from Casselton to Oriska so he had to drive the long way around. I got out just in time as the water was as high as the wheel wells on the Escalade. The shed and the garage have water, but the house should be fine as it sits higher. Colton and I are at my parents for the next couple days and Chuck is at home with the dogs keeping an eye on everything. The creek that runs by our house has washed out the road in one direction for us to get out and the other direction is washed out as well in 2 other spots from over land flooding. Our neighbor who has lived in the same house for the last 40 years has said he has never seen the water this bad.<br /><br /><br />Yesterday afternoon as Chuck was trying to fight the water a semi with a fully loaded trailer came down as far as our house (3 miles on gravel and Chuck was parked on the road because we can't get into the driveway) because he said he was lost and needed to turn around. (Wouldn't you just turn around on the overpass??) Our neighbor up the road by the interstate said he told the driver right way to turn/back up in his driveway but he kept going. Needless to say Chuck was not pleasant with this driver as the roads cannot/could not take the weight. The only alternative was for the driver to back his truck all the way back to the interstate. What an idiot! he's lucky he didn't get stuck and make things 10x worse.<br /><br /><br />The electricity went out this morning and the only place to purchase one is at a small town nearby for $400. Guess we should have one anyway. Our neighbor is having to go and get it because we can't get down the road to the town and he'll bring it over with the tractor. The only way for Chuck to go anywhere is by 4-wheeler at this point. A dam about 6-7 miles west broke and this has caused the major unexpected and fast water rising. I do have pictures but I have no way to up load them to the computer right now. Because of the snow and ice on the I-29 I made it as far as Gardner this morning and chose to turn around. Not worth the risk... it's just work. I'll post pictures when I can.Shawna and Chuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11529843883906556809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661809106396428425.post-75515348486841093212009-03-17T11:09:00.005-05:002009-03-20T16:52:29.727-05:00Happy St. Patty's Day<ul><li>See, I told you...</li><li>Looking at a magazine with a turkey on the cover <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Colton</span> says, '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Mmmm</span>, it's delicious.'</li><li>While I was standing in the bathroom <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Colton</span></span> walked in and said, 'What's wrong, Mommy?'

Went to OKC last week for work. The drive wasn't has bad as I thought it was going to be. Always worse on the way back then on the way there. Got plenty of shopping done on the way there, while I was there and on the way back. Ate at The Cheesecake Factory for the first time while in OKC... I love cheesecake! Colton as a cold... runny nose and cough, first time this winter. It's going around so I guess it's our turn. Sitting at home waiting out the blizzard. These are the days I hate living out in the country. No place to go and nothing to do.Shawna and Chuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11529843883906556809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661809106396428425.post-47349647083126229742009-03-03T09:25:00.004-06:002009-03-03T09:25:01.388-06:00Happy Birthday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSTRYF8RAnGgVCqj5JPCy55KJcsEiCH8oWQ5iNJruvHphODT8a2_UZ8r8xS9gY0x3WpFSlVbLNSTubM8nrwIlpR-t211tK_lMAU_Dzr9TeNspvJpcEX-bsCmeArGj1dd7lommDZ5zG4EuC/s1600-h/Picture+049.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307130283913535538" style="WIDTH: 200px;

I have a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">really good </span>memory for people's birthdays and events.<br />2. I am only 2 of 6 kids my parents <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">actually</span> planned... the others were blessed surprises.<br />3. I am a chronic and constant worrier... which I hate!<br />4. I still have not lost all of my pregnancy weight... 2 1/2 years later. Must have been all those french fries I craved!<br />5. I would love to continue my education but would have to be teaching to do so.<br />6. My older sister told me to put my tongue on our propane tank one winter when I was 5 or so and I did... it stuck and she pulled it off. She got in trouble and my dad made me a root beer float to make me feel better... I still have a scar on my tongue.<br />6. I have a scar above one of my eyes from my cat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bootsie</span>. I was sleeping on the floor and he ran across the living and across my face. (Oh and he actually used to fetch bouncy balls we would throw down the stairs).<br />7. When I was in elementary school, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">particularly</span> during my 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">th</span> and 5<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">th</span> grade years, I was called a boy more than once... I had really short hair those years. Ex. Trying to use the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">womens</span> bathroom & a letter written to my solider pen pal in Saudi Arabia, he wrote back saying 'what a handsome young man' I was!<br />8. I tore my left <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">ACL</span> skiing at Big Sky my senior year of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">high school</span>.<br />9. I hate flying and I'm not comfortable in the water. I enjoy the land.<br />10. I met Chuck at the place I worked during college.. my dad got me the job my freshman year of college.<br />11. I hate calling and making appointments or calling and asking for information. I used to (and still do <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">occasionally</span>) have my mom and my older sister do this for me!<br />12. I hate (loathe is a better word) the phone... <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">unfortunately</span> this has been the main duty of every job I've ever had.<br />13. I can't wait to move back into town... I'm sick of all the driving.<br />14. I never knew I liked dogs as much as I do until I met Chuck.<br />15. I'm very sensitive and take everything personally.<br />16. I have a bit of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">OCD</span>... Some ex. I like things in even #'s or in even groups of #'s, my clothes all face the same way in groups according to style, rewrite letters or lists with no scribbles (I believe my son is taking after me in the department as well).<br />17. I like to recycle but I find it really difficult living out in the country.<br />18. I hate cooking... good thing Chuck can cook!<br />19. I like to eat cube cheese... but my stomach doesn't like it.<br />20. I love Ranch Doritos and could eat a whole big bag in one sitting if I had the time.<br />21. I always pick out my clothes before I go to bed & pick up the house before I leave for any place.<br />22. When I home on the weekends I'm usually in same outfit all weekend long.<br />23. I make lists for everything, almost everyday.<br />24. I have an older 1/2 brother and sister but never see them.<br />25. I look exactly like my mom.<br />26. BONUS: I would love to know how to play the piano.<br /><br />This took me a really long time!Shawna and Chuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11529843883906556809noreply@blogger.com1
