New pictures of the family

We found Nathan sleeping in this position the other night. He prefers sleeping on his stomach. Soon after we lay him down to sleep he turns over to his belly. It is hard to see but he is on his knees. lol





Cute little hand





Mialee and Nathan like to play. This is great because it keeps them both occupied at the same time. very helpfull. But we have to keep an eye on them. The other day I caught Mialee body slaming Nathan. She was kneeling down next to him and falling over on to him and rolling on him with her belly. He didn't seem to mind though lol.










Mialee and Nathan playing in the little yard together. Mialee is teaching him all about dirt.

How Precious

Just Saturday Morning

Good Morning Everyone, Just getting caught up on my e-mail. The cats are enjoying my company as I try and mouse and brush them one handed. My macaroni and eggs are cooked and ready to turn into salad. Hey! I saw the prices on eggs in the market..I should charge more for mine! I wanted to save the good fresh eggs for baking, so bought some small ones at the market for the salad. I paid $1.29 for puny eggs that were half the size of the one's I get. Sheesh! Anyway..I am still looking for a replacement range hood. Jay says he will install it. How would the family like to pool funds and get me one for Christmas? I was looking at a really cheap one..but Jay said to 'get a good one'..so if you all went in together...I could get a 'good' one. How does that sound? The light is broken on the one I have and the fan is going too. Let me know if that interests anyone and let me know a price range..K? What I have been looking at so far starts at about $75 for a really basic one up to $300 for one with variable speed fan and light settings.
I am looking forward to tomorrow and our Mothers Day and B-Day at Miguelito Park. Merrill and Jess said we should go out a little early to get a good spot. Then we will see The Smith Family around 1pm. I am going out to the freezer to select our meat options today. Jess's Mom is making a fruit salad. Nancy and Jay are having fun fun fun on their bike trip. She called last night from Tuscon and tired but happy. They met up with one of Jay's new found relatives.
Teri, your pictures looked great. I could tell you all had a wonderful time. I did not see you in the 'mosh pit' however..whats up with that? Maybe next time.
Well, have to get busy...love to all!

Our little cowboy and her brother

Mialee wanted to wear her back pack and ride her horse, 'cause, after all, she says she is a cowboy.

Nathan has become our red cheeked baby. What is the deal with that? Maybe the pediatrician can shed some light this Friday. Red cheeks or not, my gosh, he is adorable!

Pictures

Go to Whelchel blog to see recent pictures of My family.

Grandma

Hi Grandma, I need you to try to post pictures again and tell me the exact wording of the errors or problems that you are having. That will make it easier to help you fix the problem.

Revamped

Ok I figured out how to have the links back in. I had to copy the HTML code from another template and paste it in to the code for our blogs template.

F U N Saturday

Good Sunday morning! Hey Derrick, where did the link to the Whelchel b-log go? (I don't know, when i changed the layout of the Blog it didn't come with a link option.) It was nice to click over and see how their family is doing and see any pictures of the kids posted there..Can you fix it? Thanks.
I was hoping Jessica would post her good news..but here goes. She got a wonderful new job at the base (Nancy helped with her resume). She will be in an office..and I cannot remember the exact job title..but super wahzooo pay and benefits. Yeah! Jessica!
Glad to hear Derrick's tests went well. I know that new job will make alot of great changes in your lives,
I will post some pictures from yesterday at the Strawberry festival..I thought I had some of Nathan in the stroller..but they must have been too dark as Grandma did not print them out. She has to really do some editing on my pictures. We had a good time and then Mom and I went to Ryan Park for dinner and dessert. I was in bed before 9pm! Pooped!
I talked with Teri today..having fun fun fun with her friends and the hotel issue was worked out ok.
Today is clean up and shop day, so have to get busy. Still have poultry to feed!
Love you all...smoochies too!

Conoco Philips

Well i took 4 tests today as the first steps to get a job at the oil refinery in Nipomo. I have a friend that works there who told me about it. It pays well and have tuition reimbursment. cool and starting pay is $20/hr. And comes with great benefits package. So I really want this job. The tests were a behavior, Mechanical understanding, chemical understanding, a math/block counting/english comprehension test. I think i did preaty good, so we'll see if that takes me to the next level which would be an interview.

Now that I've figured out the photos.. here's one more.

Here's a photo of me with my office coworkers. That's Shirley (blonde on the left) and Linda to the right. We were at the Cherry Blossom Luncheon. 3/15/06
We were pretty excited to be allowed out of the office for an hour or so! 

aha! I can do it after all!

Ok, I added this photo using the Picasa2 software I downloaded from Google. I use it to edit it my photos and to create albums.
Well, this photo is from our recent trip to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in early March.
That's Leslie on the left in green, Cindy, me and Deb.
Now that have figured this thing out, I'll post more photos later.

So, Derrick, I think you said you owe me something for posting a picture???
Will that come parcel post or are you sending it to me via your mom when I meet up with her for our cruise? ; )
Love to you all!
Aunt Teri

Peace of Mind

This is so subtly funny

Easter... from the East coast

Hi all, It was good to hear all of your voices! We sure missed being there with you. We're looking forward to June and being " Home" again. We enjoyed a quiet Easter. Nick and I went to church with the Johnson's. Afterwards, we had a nice lunch at Ryan's (a buffet style restaurant), with Andrew and Stephanie joining us. The rest of the day was spent just chillin' out and relaxing. Today is the first official day of Spring Break for Nick and me, and we are trying to make the most of our week. This morning, I had the car to the shop to have a radiator hose leak repaired, then Nick had his 6 month dental cleaning, and got his summer hair buzzzzzzzz. He has such a nicely shaped head :) Now he's working on a spring cleaning for his room, I'm doing laundry, uploading photos and playing on this blog! Hey!! Both Nick's and my Passports arrived ... finally! Yea!!! We're legal and official! We can CRUISE! We are soooooo ready to go, too! Well, I keep clicking on the "add photo" button, but nothing is happening.... Hmmm, I selected a photo and it said it was uploading it, but I dont' see it. I guess I'll try again later. Hugs and kisses to you all! T
