Shutterfly

Tristan is getting bigger every day. I have created a Shutterfly account and a share page. It rocks. I can easily upload my pictures and create journal entries. here is the link to the page:



there is a password to get into the page so email me and I will send it to you. Easter was fun. We spent the day at my parents house with my dad's brother and his wife. We did have a surprise at the end of the day. Lacey their Pomeranian had a puppy! They didn't even know she was preggers. LOL. She only had one. They said Lacey is getting fixed after this. They have been trying to prevent pregnancies by separating the two dogs but obviously that failed. It was warm out so we were able to spend a bunch of time outside. Ray was playing in his "cool car." It is a coop car and he loves it.

Ray is a fanatic about Disney's Cars. He practically has the entire movie cast in toy cars. He calls Lightning McQueen "Rookie." He would watch the movie all day every day if we let him. Everyday when we get home from daycare he runs into the playroom and yells out to us "turn on cool car movie mom, please?" Ray is a very polite kid. We have been consistent with him on saying please, thank you and excuse me. It really shows. Last Wednesday we went to mom's and colored eggs with Becky and her 4 year old grandson Jason. They were playing outside with the "cool car" and Jason was hogging the car. Ray asked him nicely if he could have a turn, Jason refused. He eventually had to be told to get out and give Ray a turn by Becky. Ray said thank you to Becky, and when Jason was pouting Ray kept asking him if he was ok. Ray didn't even throw a fit when Jason wouldn't get out of the car. He was visibly frustrated but he didn't freak out. Jayne our daycare lady says that Sylvi (a 1 year old girl) constantly takes toys away from Ray and he doesn't get mad or tattle he just waits until Jayne says give it back and then says thank you to Sylvi. I can imagine how cute it is.

I can't believe the semester is almost over. I am going to be registering for classes on Monday. WOW. I am going to be in all upper division classes starting this fall. I have finally made my decision on what my major is going to be. Health Care Management with a minor in Human Resource Management. :) Speaking of UMD, Alex registered for classes on Thursday. He is excited about finally being at UMD.

I am going back to work full time June 1st. I am happy that I can stay out on leave until then. I will have about 2 weeks of time off with no school before I go back. We were going to fly down to AZ and visit Alex's family but we were unable to go because of other financial obligations. We are really bummed about this.

The clock says 2:20am dang. I'm up because Tristan was hungry and needed a change and then couldn't fall back asleep. So I decided to update my blog. Not sure if anyone is reading this but either way it is a good way to my thoughts out.

Alex turned 27 yesterday. I asked him a few days ago what he wanted to do for his birthday and he said I want to just stay home and have a quiet night. So when Matt called I let him come over. They love to play Street Fighter 4 for hours on end. That is exactly what they did. On our way to bed Alex told me he really enjoyed today. I am glad. He spent 2 birthdays in a row in Kuwait. His 24th was right after he deployed. I was 7 months pregnant with Ray. The second one was right after he had been home on R & R. I felt so bad for him.

Well I am going to go to bed for a little while. Tristan will be up very soon for another feeding. I don't mind this time is going to go so fast. He will be sleeping through the night before long. Goodnight.
