New A/C!

Growing up I had an upstairs room. My parents would wait well into the summer, (we're talking late June or early July at the earliest!) before they would break down and turn on the air conditioner. I am pretty sure I remember them going completely through the summer once without turning on the air conditioner. You know what it feels like when you really feel like you need a shower because you are just so hot and sticky and when you get out of the shower, even a cool shower, you are still sweating! How frustrating!
Well, Sheldon and I usually try to wait as long as we can to turn the air on, but we don't get too crazy about it. He decided that he would check on our air conditioner here, since we haven't been here long enough to need to use it. He didn't think it was working right so he had someone come and check it out. Yep, it's done! Luckily we bought a home warranty when we bought the house, that would cover most major appliances! We are getting a new air conditioner put in today and we only have to pay for a little more than the service call! We questioned the home warranty when we bought it, but thought it couldn't hurt to do it for the first year, since the house was a foreclosure! Glad we did! I should be cooled off in no time! And I am really looking forward to it!

Train Ride Anyone?

I just thought I would share this with all of the proud parents out there. I never got it printed to share with everyone who had kids in the nursery that night. I believe Josiah started the train and all of the kids just followed right along.

They were even saying "choo choo".

Financial Peace University Jr.?

Sheldon and I have really enjoyed the Financial Peace University. We are sitting in on the class again, as a refresher. We have much more confidence in how we are doing things now than we did before. It has been a huge blessing to us. We didn't realize it was impacting Tucker so much though. I was balancing the checkbook one day and left it only for a moment. When I returned I found this.

He had no idea what he was doing, but I thought it would be a good picture to send to Dave Ramsey and tell him that we were starting early, really early!

Half In Bed

We moved Tucker to his big boy bed early in April and he took to it great. We have had our times when he fights it a little, but we expected it to be much more of change than it was. It has created some very funny moments since we moved him into it. Here is one of those moments.

This was an evening that I had a MOPS meeting, so he was already in bed when I got home. I just about woke him up laughing when I first saw him. I don't know how that didn't wake him up!

VBS

I remember VBS from when I was a kid. I loved VBS! I remember my cousins even coming with us when they were visiting. Great memories! I remember a few of the specific stories we learned about and some of the different crafts or food we made, but mostly I just remember that I loved it. Well, for our church VBS this year I am doing one of the lessons and I am soooo nervous! It is out of my comfort zone to have to talk for any period of time. I am afraid that I am just going to be completley blank when the kids come to my room! I have been practicing my stuff and praying about it a lot, so I am sure it will be fine, but these butterflies won't go away until I am done! I hope the kids all learn and enjoy VBS as much as I did. (Maybe that's why I'm so nervous!) :)

Here it goes!

They say a woman uses so many words a day and men use so many less words a day. I don't recall the numbers for sure. This will be helpful to keep Sheldon and I a little closer to the same number of words when he gets home from work. Also I will post pictures of Tucker and our new baby (later) for anyone interested in our family fun!
