I Got A Play Date

I was able to go over and visit Sarah, Morgan and Shelby the day of the floods. Lucky for Sarah I didn't have to go into work right away so I was able to help her out. It is strange to find how same and different Matt and Morgan are. They are really growing up and becoming little people. Hard to remember they start out as little as Shelby. Both girls have very soft skin it must be all the water their mom drinks.

Morgan loves any attention given to her, she will either be a big help or keep mom on her toes. Just look at this ham!!

I caught Shelby smiling, or releasing some pressure, I like to think it's smiling. She looks just like Morgan so fare I can't wait to see how she will look in a few months.

Hot Summer Days

It gets very humid in Wisconsin as most of you know, so lately Matt and I have been doing water activities. We have a little zero depth pool near our house that Matt and I went to to cool off, he had so much fun!!

Yes that is my finger but the look on his face was just so cute!!

We also set up a sprinkler in the back yard . . . . . . .

I'm just glad he loves the water so much.

2010 Moss Reunion

We had so much fun over the 4th of July weekend! Rob and I both took off work so we could play with everyone. It was great to see everyone who made it and we missed those who couldn't. It was a jam packed fun few days. We went swimming . . . .






Had 4-wheeler rides (ya that's Hunter). . . . .


We had the kids do crafts . . . .





Ok some big kids too.

A talent show . . . .

Calvin even helped clean up, Thanks Cal!

And of course fireworks, this time all the neighbours gathered around to watch also, I think the Moss' are getting a reputation for this kind of thing.

I had to put that one in Rob is actualy smiling!!!!!!




Our little contibution to the Moss family How Cute is HE

And all the cousins minus three . . . .

All in all a great time was had by all. It was sad to see everyone go but we did make plans to have another one in 2013 which we are looking forward to.

OH NO THE BIG 3 - 0 !!!

Friday the 25th of June I celebrated my third decade of life. I was able to go out to brunch with Matt's two grandmas and Cindy and SueAnn. Then off to work where we had a Caribbean theme party. It was lots of fun. I had Rob bring Matt out for a little while so I could be with them on my birthday. The studio got me a cake and made a big deal out of it for me.

I didn't start to celebrate till the next day. I got to sleep in till 10am! I had to go in to work for a little bit but it wasn't bad. Then Rob and I got to go out to dinner just the two of us it was nice. I asked everyone for a wal-mart gift card so I could get a nice new camera for my birthday and it worked! Soon I will have fun pictures to go along with this (and I wont write as much). The only person who didn't listen was Rob he got me an i-pod touch. I love it!!! I don't have a CD player in my car just a tape deck (old school) so Matt suffers now I can play songs he can sing to. Thanks Hubbie : )

Some people say turning thirty sucks, some say they enjoyed them better than the 20s. For me it feels like I'm still 22 I just know a think or two more, however I still act like I'm 18. I hope I can stay feeling young a while longer so life stays fun. I look better than other thirty year olds I know so I have that going for me. I'm waiting for it to catch up with me.

I'm 30 and what do I have to show for it?: A fabulous Hubbie, a wonderful child, good health, a fine house and loving family.
What elts could a girl want? $$

Fathers Day

For fathers day I asked Rob what he wanted to do and he told me fishing. So bright and early off he went. That gave me some time to go visit my father with Matt. We got to play in the sandbox and clime up in the fort (I don't think any one has done that in 10 years or more). From there I meet Rob at the Home Dump to give Calvin his fathers day card and bug him a little, it keeps the fire in his eyes going. Then Rob went to help his brother and I went home to clean and etc. We had a barbecue and had the evening together as a family. Rob is really a great dad, he gets in and helps out and loves spending time with Matthew. Matthew got his dad a biking shirt some movies and a home made card for fathers day. I got him a four wheeler. I knew someone who was getting rid of theirs so I took it and gave it to Rob, everyone at the Moss house is enjoying it seeings as how our house is too small to keep it.

In other happy news my Brother and his wife Sarah were able to come home from the hospital with their new baby girl Shelby on fathers day. She is so tiny and sweet. Check out their blog for pictures of the happy family. What a special day for them.

Bug Bites

Matthew LOVES playing outside this summer, especially with his cousins in Oconomowoc. With the weather being nice and night time showers the mosquito farms are hard at work. Well the other day Matt was having too much fun playing outside at dusk which is when they feast on yummy blood. I went to get him the next morning and I had to do a double take, it looked like he had a black eye. On further inspection he had over fifty bites mostly on his face and neck. It looked like he had black eyes, a ping pong ball size swell on the side of his neck and the chicken pocks.

All that day he was just miserable I could tell in his eyes. So we went and got benadryl for him and hoped for the best. I am happy to say aside from a few scabs from scratching he his looking better.

The next day we went to the zoo again, he still has fun. When entering they have a grassy area for those who wish to have a picnic. They also have a brick border between grass and side walk about 6 inches off the ground. Well Matt wanted to be like the big kids and clime all over it. After telling him to stay off a million times and getting distracted fate stepped in and of course he fell backwards and hit his head on the concrete. Just a scrape and a goose egg, nothing a little Tylenol can't fix. I hope for his sake he learns a lesson that he is not invisible. The kid just can't catch a break!

My How Time Flys!

As of June 7th this year Rob and I have been in our house three years. That gives me two more years to get things squared away and move. Matthew will be three almost four and not in school yet. I hate living in West Allis!! The streets are busy and the yards are small and we have an infestation of hood rats (kids with nothing better to do than wander around and cause trouble). I never feel comfortable to let Matthew outside to just play and stay out of the street and in our yard, besides someone might take him.

Don't get me wrong we (Rob) have done a lot of good things to our house. The master bedroom has been repainted, Matt's room has been re-drywalled trimmed and painted, our front room has been re-drywalled trimmed painted and new wood floor, a spare room repainted and made into a playroom, and a new deck out back and new grass to go with it. A few more rooms, kitchen, bathroom, big room and we should be done. I have been keeping Rob busy.

When I look back at the last three years a lot has happened. A new car, a pregnancy, a baby grown to a toddler and many other memories. I do enjoy the fact that we are so close to the state fair grounds we can walk to it. However I do miss being close to other family members, it is a bit of a drive to go visit people.

When we move I hope it will be closer to people we love.
