Exciting Changes!!

 Nathan has recently discovered that he LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  As soon as he hears the song he stops what he is doing and gets in front of the tv and sits to watch it.  He will stay there for the entire show!!
 As part of school we have a Nevada history class.  One of the lessons in it is to visit a "spotlight" place in Nevada, so we went to see the dam bridge!  It was raining and I didn't bring the stoller so we didn't go on the hike up to the bridge and walk across it reading the historical facts.  But it was really cool and we are planning on going back to walk to bridge when we are a little better prepared in a few weeks.


The house across the street and down from us has been broken into 3 times within the last 2 weeks.  The family that lives there has a couple older kids and the mom stays home.  The house behind them is vacant as well as the home next to them. The burglars have been getting in through the vacant house behind them and going over the wall.  This bothers me bacause I am home all day with the kids alone, and Keith's schedule is crazy that he is not home at night alot, either gone all night or coming home very late.  Yes, I have access to a gun, but its not the same, so we adopted Onyi (on-ee).  She is 2 years old, 100 pounds and has a super mean bark but is SO sweet and super great with the boys.   We weren't looking to get a pet until after we moved and figured out life a little better, but with all thats going on in our neighborhood right now, we feel really good about our decision to get her.


AND......
Nathan is walking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Just behind his walker right now, or holding your fingers, but still my 9 month old is walking!!!
