Holy busy weekend batman!

Well this weekend we had a state softball co-ed tourney, trip to Jubilee Farm, Hanks first soccer game and his pre-bday dinner at XXX Root beer!  All while dealing with Trumans new found dislike for sleeping! 

I don't even know where to start with the weekend as some of it is a little hazy from sleep deprivation.  The Truman aspect came out of nowhere and I was struggling quite a bit with why it started and how to 'fix' it.  After a few really rough nights of screaming mama, crying, bailing out of his crib, breaking out of his bedroom etc I wasn't quite sure where to start.  After some input from friends and families I converted his crib back into a crib (mostly to slow him down) and stayed within his sites he seems to be able to sooth himself to sleep (starting back from square 1, which I hear we'll do time and again)!

As far as the rest of the weekend our trip to Jubilee farm to pick our fruits and veggies for the week was awesome! it started out with a trip to Target for some rain boots and ended with picking blackberries!  Some pics from our adventure:

Next was a trip to Kent for Rodney's state co-ed softball game, the weather continued to cooperate and we got to see Rx win a game before heading back home to rest up for Sunday!

Sunday morning rise and shine at 6am but at least Truman slept all night in his crib (a win and I'll take it!), Hank woke up ready to take on the day and we spent most of the morning preparing for his very first soccer game, wuhuu!!  He did awesome, scored 3 goals and showed he has that sports instinct that you can't teach.. HE'S GOT IT!  Was a lot of fun watching him in action, I think it would be good for everyone at the next game to have him in the whole time as he tends to get himself into trouble on the sidelines ;) Some pics of the action:

Last on the docket for the weekend, but definitely not least, was Henry's early bday celebration with family at XXX Root beer!  This is quickly becoming our family hang-out and I see many bday adventures here in our future.  GIGANTIC root beer floats all around, and 1 root beer shake for Michele (hanks mom) and burgers, fries, onion rings, fish and chips and the list goes on!  Henry got some great bday gifts and even got on a table and had happy birthday sung to him.. so proud of him!  (Rodney got video that I'm sure is priceless)

So now as I sit here on the couch, enjoying my 'free time', the first free time I've had before 10pm in about 7days, I'm searching for that second wind so I can get us packed up and ready to hit the road to Pendleton tomorrow for a full week of Round-Up activities.. SO EXCITED!!

Bloggin aint easy!

Man I had no idea how difficult it would be to stay on top of blogging!  I started out like wildfire and have piddled off here recently.  I'll try to get back in action just in time to blog about the ROUND UP!! LET'ER BUCK!

After watching Food Inc and doing some soul searching we've decided to try and change what and the way we eat so Rodney's been cooking some yummy meals with our Baron Farms meat (grass fed) - tonight is Beef Short Rib tacos YUM!  Tomorrow I'll pick up our first fruit and vegetable package from the Jubilee Farms Co-op!  Next year its from our own garden, going to have to dig deep and find a green thumb somewhere ;)

Hank started kkindergarten this past Monday, what an exciting day! Michele, his mom, says he LOVES it and is up and I imagine he'll be leading the pack in no time.

We celebrated Evelyn's bday last week on the 26th... the big 1-3 going on 17 ;)  Was a great dinner at Benihana's with friends and family... gearing up to start 8th grade next week, holy smokes how is that possible??

Truman is growing before my eyes, I swear everyday I pick him up from daycare he's grown or changed in some way.  Starting to say complete sentences... over and over and over and over and definitely testing his mama!  He's singing songs, ABC's, ba ba black sheep, twinkle twinkle and happy birthday, he's my American idol <3 

Getting ready to enjoy the long holiday weekend with the kids and grandma and grandpa, some house projects are on our agenda... and as Tank says... "I don't know, maybe a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond if there's time".
