Hey! I haven't blogged in quite a few days! It's good to be back. Let's see, where did I leave off.... Oh yeah, okay, after I got home from DC, I rested...
Then, the next day, Jason, Cameron, Aidan, and I went to a hotel nearby and stayed from Thursday through Sunday with his parents. It was close to home, but it was a lot of fun! They had a nice swimming pool and free hot breakfast (which is always good). It was only the second time that Aidan had been in a swimming pool and he absolutely loved it! He would actually start fussing when we took him out. His little chunky legs got a tan. :o) He liked to stand on the second step down from the top step, which would make the water level about up to his belly button, and jump up and down in the water. He also liked when we'd take his legs and make them splash the water. One time he got upset though, because this other little kid splashed some water and it got on his face. I guess it surprised him. But other than that, he really enjoyed himself.
On Friday night, we went over to the Martinsville Speedway. They had free rides for everyone. There were a TON of people there, so the lines to the rides were 50 yards long! Cameron got to ride 2 rides within about an hour and a half! But, then we went up to the actual race track and they had a country singer there, and I think his name is Clint Yager (spelling?) and he sings that song "Just another day in Paradise". It was a good show, and afterward they had fireworks. I actually have a picture of me holding Aidan's ears while he slept on my lap during the display. I remember a lady next to me saying "You're hands must be better than cotton!"
The next day we went to see The Martinsville Mustangs play baseball and then saw another fireworks display! Aidan actually stayed awake for some of this one. Notice, I said "some". He watched the first part and then got bored with it I guess and fell asleep on Jasons shoulder. He is a funny guy. Cameron on the other hand, found a friend of his there and went to sit with her during the display. Cameron, who is now as brown as a biscuit, really enjoyed being able see his friends. He also loved the pool! If he wasn't sleeping or eating, that boy was in the pool! He can almost swim now. I don't think it will be much longer.
We got a pool for the house. It's one of those that are 4 feet deep. We still need to get water put in it. Jason called the Fire Department and we have to go through PSA to get a permit first, and there are several other steps, and it seems silly to me, "Just bring the water already!" But..that's how it goes sometimes I guess.
After we got home from staying at the hotel...we rested. :o) We were lazy all day long. Even Aidan slept more than usual. Which was a good thing! Cause we were sleepy too!
And, well, this week nothing much has happened. I'm just back at work. I work at BMS Consulting, Inc. We handle 401K Plans for different companies. It hasn't been very busy this week. I guess everyone is on vacation. So..that is also a good thing! :o)
I will try to have some more pics on here soon of vacation and all. It was a lot of fun. I wish I could be a stay at home mom. I sure miss hanging out with my boys all day long!
My father-in-law, Jimmy, wants me to plan a trip to Disney World for the whole family. So, that should be fun...EXCEPT...I have never ridden on an airplane! I've been to Disney World, but it was on a bus and it took 17 hours. But, I was not afraid! I don't know what I'll do on an airplane. I hope I don't do like that man from Twilight Zone and start seeing little gremlins on the wing and such...haha!
Okay, well, I think I've written a small essay...Oh! but one more thing before I go. Check out this website, http://www.goodreads.com/, Good Reads, if you like to read books. My friend introduced me to it and it is pretty cool!
Well, talk to you later!
