watering can

After a tuff week and as the close of another ruff day came I was excited to get a few minutes of peace and quiet when Cody asked me if he could take a shower. Happily I said yes...

As he is in the shower I hear the shower door open and then close and I figured okay, he went to the bathroom as he usually does at some point of his showers. Next time I heard the shower door open and close I told myself "oh he's probably just getting another toy from the tub where he keeps some of his toys (we have separate shower and tub) without suspecting anything else. Well, after about 15 minutes in the shower I looked at the clock and was trying to be better about not letting him take too long of showers so I told myself "it was sweet while it lasted but it was time for him to get out". As I stepped into the hallway to go grab his towel from his room...I didn't know weather to scream of anger or calmly walk into the bathroom and find out what had happened. I choose the ladder and calmly walked in until I saw the rest of the bathroom. Cody had flooded the entire bathroom floor. I opened the shower door and turned his water off and tried to keep my cool as I made him get out and started running for the towels to start cleaning the water up. Needless to say it took all of my towels to mop up the floor. In my fury and being grossed out that the same water that touched around the toilet touched my nice towels I asked Cody what he was thinking and he very honestly told me "I was watering the bathroom with my watering can"...

Without even planning it, we ended up having a staycation week. Daniel had the time off so we took advantage starting on his Birthday. We went kayaking, to the beach a few times, to the Circus, swimming lots, saw friends and family that came into town, and went to Wild Rivers. I will be posting pictures soon.

Son to Father advice

Cody and I went to Daniel's church softball game the other night and before we got out of the car Cody insisted on giving Daniel the following advice:

Cody: Okay Daddy, no fighting, don't fight over the ball! Just let the other people get the ball when it goes to them.

Daniel: Okay Cody, thanks for the advice.

This is so cute only because this is what we use to tell him every week before his T-ball games. I guess he was listening.

Ouch!

This is my recommendation to all who likes to bake themselves or use to back in high school in the sun...GO GET YOUR MOLES CHECKED!! I had a suspicious mole on my forearm that has been changing over the years. It was removed on Tuesday and they had to take out quite a bit of skin and left me with a lot of stitches. Cody took these pictures so they aren't the best quality.

This is me with my bandages...much prettier than what's underneath.

The day after the bandages came off. As you can tell by the way I look I've been on pain meds and am pretty sore.

Everyone take care of themselves so that you don't have to deal with stuff like this.

Summer Vaca.

I have been a bit over the blog thing but then I feel guilty whenever I look at others, so I am back. We've begun Summer activities and Cody's loving every minute of them.

A lot of human bowling

A visit from my Oregonian friend and late night smores in our backyard. I know we look lame and the beanies are a bit over the top for the season but those who know me know that I get cold easily.



We found a Black Widow in Cody's play area...called pest control immediately to come spray!


Cody and Daniel camped out in the backyard.

Daniel and Cody fishing at a near by pond...nothing biting.

Hope everyone else is having a fun Summer Vacation!

Congrats my big grad!

We are proud to announce the graduation of Cody Daniel Titel from Parkcrest Preschool!!

For anyone looking for a Preschool we highly recommend Parkcrest. Cody has had the best 2 years there. Now it's on to Kindergarden, real homework, and responsibilities! The easy life has come to an end!

Powerwash

Have you ever wanted to use one of these in your bathroom?
