Angel or Demon... You decide :)

Well, for those who follow the blog and/or are far away sorry it has taken us awhile again to update. We had computer issues aren't those just fun!!! Not really. Anyway, since the last time we updated I got a job. Yippee! I am working as a Special Education Aide at the high school here in Shelley. I had a rough start because I didn't really know my role, but things are looking up. Although it makes me want to be a teacher for some odd reason! Ha ha ha... Anyway, that is good. We also found out that we will have a little nephew coming our way in December. Scott and Rachael found out they are having a boy and we are super excited for them. Ainzley is on the move. She crawls and scales the walls and is super close to just running all over the place. As you will see below Ainzley is always into everything in my house! So pretty much our house is a disaster area 24-7!!! She has also been teething and has been a little grouchy, her top two teeth are super close to popping through. Kurt also went to Sandpoint, Idaho for his work for a full week, that was a tough week by myself! I don't know how single mom's handle it! But we got him home and things are better. Although life never slows down, Kurt started school this week and found out it is going to be a heavy class load, with lots of labs and reading and homework! We also have been keeping up on our garden. So far I have canned 23 1/2 quarts of beans and that is just from our bush beans, we also planted a pretty large row of pole beans so hopefully we will have a lot for the winter! We also have lots of zucchini. I really love the benefits of having a garden! Anyway, that is us, enjoy the pictures!





It was really funny to see her crawl in the cabinet! Kurt and I were just trying to make dinner and do some dishes and didn't really see that she was doing when we looked down and found her In the cabinet.



As you can see Ainzley has learned how to get into everything!



What mom?




We went and helped Grandma Merrill with some green beans. We found out that green beans really feel good to little teething girls.




She had her feet in the sink and eating green beans! It was super cute.


Helping mommy!





Love this little outfit! To bad the shorts don't fit very well!



Our awesome garden.



Ainzley loves water! One night we were out working in the garden and had the hose out. Ainzley started playing with the hose and got me and herself all wet it was pretty funny! She even put the hose in her face.






Ainzley also loves books! I love these pictures of her daddy reading to her.



Ainzley scaling the wall and trying on mom's shoes.

And of coarse we get a few bonks to the head now and then.

Wow, you guys have been busy! I know exactly how you feel having a dirty house 24/7--pretty much it's pointless to clean up cause they will have it out the next second. Kyden gets into everything(& Braden in a different way)! Plus, it's not dirty, just cluttered with stuff pulled out everywhere. So you don't have to feel too bad! Your garden looks so good! This is the first year we have had a real garden that turned out and it has been fun eating it all--to not have to pay for it too! Ainzley is very cute though even if she is a little mess maker!

I am glad to know we are not the only ones in a mess. It just gets more messy the bigger they get. Congrats on the job again. I am glad that it is looking up. Give Ainz a big hug and kiss from us. See you soon.

Funny you mentioned being a teachers Jules. I was actually driving down the road on my way to work and was thinking about you and how you would be a good teacher. Then I read this blog and laughed. I thought it was funny how that just happened. Ainzley is so cute. Your garden looks awesome. Mine is a little scary, but we have had few good sucesses. Well, stay busy...ha ha. j/k. By the way was easy being a single mom, but you are right a little help can be needed.
