Photos from June 10 to June 14

Here is just a taste of the pictures we took this week.


Oooh - fun stuff!

So, it has been a while, and some things have happened.
Last week, on the 10th, Riley was on his way home from visiting his grandma in Saquamish, and he stopped here and stayed with us on his way home. He had his mom and daughter, Hope. Riley is a kid (well, 21 now) who grew up in Piute with Anthony. Anthony is his daughter Hope's godfather, and they had never seen each other before. So it was an interesting experience. We went and ate, went to the Riverside Park, and we went to the Riverpark(??) mall and played in the kid's museum in the basement there. We also walked over the bridge to see the Spokane River Falls, and went to dinner in Coeur d'Alene. It was fun.
On Saturday, Liberty Lake had a yard sale. 250 homes in Liberty Lake set stuff out on thier lawns for sale, and there were booths at one of the parks for people to look at, too. Of course, I had a booth. It was not a good experience, though. I did make money, but it was very disappointing. Ugh.
I am working on my website, AGAIN, I know, I do it a lot. But it needs to be updated, and revised to work better. Soon, I hope.
My pants are all too tight. They are super uncomfortable. So, I am going to use the money I got at the booth to go buy myself some new maternity pants. I didn't bring any of my old ones, because I didn't think I'd need them until I got back. This time is very different. It seems everything is happening sooner (getting bigger!), and I am more uncomfortable than before. Blah.

Family photos

Playing around before





Some of the okay ones


The two good ones.



We didn't have any time, because i suddenly decided to do it while Anthony was in correlation, and when he comes home from that he usually eats then leaves. But I made him run to the park with me real quick and do it. It was windy and we were only gone 10 minutes. I'll get better ones later!

Riverfront Park, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho







Today Neils and I drove 15 miles to get Cold Stone ice cream. The belly said so, so we did. Right next to the little shopping place, there is a pond with a playground and fun stuff by it. I took Neils over there, and we played.

There are a few more pictures here: http://s706.photobucket.com/albums/ww65/asnsorensenfamily/Riverfront%20park%206%201%2009/

Photos for May 20-24, 2009











A music store downtown. I was waiting for sushi and saw it, thought it was funny.





A beach in IDAHO???

Last night, for the company dinner, we went to the Coeur D'Alene Resort for dinner at their restaurant, Dockside. It was really neat, really nice, and my chicken was amazing. I will definitely go back for more, even if it ends up being just me and Neils while Anthony is working.
I liked the look of the place so much while we were on our way there. It looked like there were people walking around, like they do at the beach on the boardwalk. I knew the lake was right there, but I didn't know what was drawing the people to the area. So, today we went back and we played for a bit. There was a big park, HUGE, with lots of trees and people, and a playground with things to climb on and play in, like Park Discovery in Cedar city, only bigger. We let Neils play for a bit, then went over to see what the lake was like. That's when we found it--the beach! It isn't very big, about half a mile long, and about 100 feet (I'm not really sure...) from shore to the boardwalk, but it was a beach! There were so many people, so many kids. We watched one of those planes that flies off of water, like in Duck Tales, and watched someone parasailing. I really want to do that, but I don't know if I can right now. It was a fun day :)

More about Neils:
Today, I was asking Neils about his body parts. He knows his nose, eyes, ears and mouth, thanks to my mom mostly, but today I asked him where his arms were. He held up his arm! I asked him where his knees were, he said knees and pointed ot them. I asked him where his toes were, and he showed me. He already knew those, though. Toes are easy. He also knows where his belly is, and where his boobies are. Ha ha ha. He keps repeating, "I know," when I'd say it, and he says Neilsey, "Neenee". Today in the store he told the lady he had an "owanse" (orange) after I asked him what it was. At first he always says "ap" (apple) but I have to remind him that it's an orange, then he repeats it. It's amazing that he says so much! He always points out birds and dogs, and today he saw a "buds!" (bug)...and he ended up squishing the poor lady bug in his fingers. He kept looking for it, but I told him he made it go bye bye.
Another thing he likes to do, is throw things off the balcony. Today when we got home, I looked under the front tire for soem reason, and there was a squished potato. I was confused at first, but then I knew Neils must have thrown it down there.
I am getting him to drink milk more, but not plain milk. He still won't do that. I got some strawberry Pediasure, and some chocolate milk, and I've been mixing it with that. He calls every drink "juice", and that's usually what he wants. He wants to eat strawberries all the time, and "cack" (crackers). He tells me what he wants usually, but he won't eat much unless it is strawberries, then he eats like 10 in a sitting. I have to fix this...he needs more variety!
I have a job here! I help Jay and Des with thier Magic card eBay business. I sort the cards and package, print the mailing slips and get the packages ready to mail, then they pack the items, and I mail them. It is useful because I can do it whenever I have a few spare minutes, and while Neils is sleeping. A lot better than the bead store. I get paid more and work more hours, too! Also, I have felt like a blimp the past two days. It reminded me of Breaking Dawn...
Anthony's doing great at work. He's a great talker. Smooth talker. Yep.
