Gosh it has been a busy last couple of weeks I have totally ignored the blog. Sorry to those of you who actually read it, I think there are a couple :) Here is a run down of the past couple of weeks "important" events. Well, important in our lives I suppose.
Family News
*We sold both the truck and trailer and bought a 05 Toyota Prius (don't worry it is not on the recall list....yet). Larry is saving at least 15 minutes off his commute each way which gets him home earlier. Oh yea, since when can you fill up a car for $20? Need I mention more with ~50 miles to the gallon. Why didn't we do this sooner?
*That following Wednesday we went to look at a Honda Element for me.......yippee.....Loved it and traded in the CRV and drove it home. It is so cute (orange is my new favorite color). Those crazies at the Nissan dealer gave us $2000 for the CRV! A 97 with 170K miles on it. We took it.
*We have since gotten rid of cable, Larry's gym membership, and our data plan on our phones. We never even used the internet on the phones so why pay the money for it.
Don't worry, things are just fine. That's the first thing people ask when I tell them all the stuff we are selling/getting rid of. Larry's job is fine we just got to the point where we had all this "stuff" we really didn't need.
Cortney's News
*I joined a stroller running group called Stroller Strides. I am absolutely loving it being able to run and workout with Easton and be around a ton of active moms. I'm making some new friends too which is always a plus.
*I've been cooking and canning up a storm! Since bringing the Bountiful Baskets into our house each Saturday I've tried some great new recipes and have canned 20lbs of tomatoes (diced), 7 qts. of chicken stock, 6 pints of marinara sauce, green chilis, pears, and orange marmalade. It's really fun!
Easton's News
What he is doing lately..........
*15 month well visit: 32"tall, 23lb. 10oz. Doing great. 8 front teeth, 3 molars.
*climbing on everything! He has learned to climb on the dining chairs.
*new words: box, juice, snack, birdie, bagel, out
*Favorite new game: ring around the rosies in the kitchen with mom and dad
*Infatuated with is belly button. He lifts his shirt up in front of the mirror and laughs.
*He officially has a modeling agent. Sounds funny. We casually sent some photos into a small agency in Scottsdale. The agent loved his blond hair and wanted to meet him. She liked his personality and "look" and thought he'd be marketable in AZ and signed him on. Who knows what will become of it but we figure if we can put some money away into his college fund that would be a bonus!

Sounds like all great news! So happy that Easton was signed-he definitely has "the look". What agency signed him? Hope the new cars are working out well for you both!
It was Deborah Maddox. We sent pictures in before Thanksgiving and didn't hear anything until January. Who knows, I figure it can't hurt to try.
Hi! I did much of that too ... "spring cleaning" with stuff we didn't need/wasn't using. It makes me feel so much better! I'm so proud of you for joining stroller strides! How fun...I've been trying to run/walk to Carter but we got one of those snap n go's and it's really not the best. I wish I had a jogger...looking for a sale! :-)
