These pictures are completely out of order and totally random. The first ones are the big painting project we decided to tackle. We started with the dining room which looks awesome! We're doing the living room, hallway, and entry way too. We've almost gotten the entry way done but we had to rip this ugly old sixtiesish wood thing off the wall. I got one wall of our living room done. We're doing that room a darker shade of brown than the rest. You can't really tell in the picture but in person the two shades look pretty good.

Then, we have a picture of me in Nathan's flight suit. When our air conditioner was out he made me put it on and walk around in it to see just how hot that thing is. I kept telling him I know it's probably miserable and believe him, but he wanted me to see for myself. After I put it on he kept saying how hot I look in it. Totally don't see that, but I guess I'm not him. It was totally hot and uncomfortable by the way.

Next, there are some random pics of the goob. My favorite are of him in the cabinet of our entertainment center. He started doing this all on his own. He'll get in there and close the door. He thinks he's sooo funny! I finally got some pictures of him doing it. Oh, and Alex thought it was really funny to put his blanky on Poky.

Oh and I decided to post the pics of our horrible back yard. But, notice I didn't do it until Nathan was mowing it. Sooo embarrassing. That mess happened due to ginormous weeds, the big mound from having our sewer line replaced, Nathan working all the time, and everytime he had time it was raining. I don't even think I could mow if I tried. I'm kind of weak and Nathan doesn't want me doing anything strenuous for the baby's sake. Anyway, it's already time to mow it again. Crazy huh.

It's so nice to have air conditioning again. I don't know how people do it that don't have it. It was especially hard on me since I was home all the time and Nathan went into work some days. We got it put in on the fourth of July and then that night Nathan got some fun little fireworks we set off in our driveway. Alex was kind of scared at first but by the end he was wanting to set them off all by himself. He really liked those little things you throw on the ground and the pop. He also loved the sparklers but for some reason the ones we got were impossible to light. So, we only got three going. I really wish it wasn't so dark or I would've taken a ton of pictures. He was soo cute!

Then, Saturday we drove out to Kansas City for that funeral. Nathan dropped Alex and I off at the Oak Park mall which was our fav when we lived there. He went to the funeral and when he got back we ate some Panda Express there. That's probably one of the reasons it was our favorite mall and it's huge and awesome. Alex and I walked around for a long time while Nathan was gone and I wished I would've remembered our camera. He was so cute. He loved the carousel they had and had a lot of fun eating dippin dots with me. After we left there we stopped by the bass pro shop for Nathan and it ended up more of a trip for Alex than for Nathan. It's a lot like Cabellas. They have a big old water fall thing with stuffed wildlife all over. There were streams and fish tanks filled with big fish. He thought it was all so cool! Then, he finally took a nap on the drive home and he was so adorable. It's crazy to think that we made him. Just two years ago he was a little baby. Can't wait to have another one of those! It's way too long to wait!
