Talk about ridiculous. We own a Townhouse, and we love it. But now I feel like I live in apartment complex again. They have a couple of parking spots in front of each Townhouse. Everyone knows that each house has 2 parking spots, and the parking spots between the units are for "visitors". But I guess that people just aren't as smart as we would like to think. So because of problems that we have been having (not talking about us per say, everyone here) they are marking every parking spot and making everyone here have a parking permit. I thought that since we own this place that they wouldn't treat us like we are single, I guess I was wrong. I guess that commonsense doesn't run in everyone's jeans. And Jon has a trailor for his profession and now he can't even park that here either. That was one reason that we bought a Town House so that we can park our stuff here. If we park it in the parking lot even if it won't be in anyone else's way they are going to tow it. Talk about very frustrating. Even though we own this place I feel like they are treating us like we live in an apartment complex again. If anyone gets offended by this I am sorry, it's not meant to do that, we are just frustrated about the situation.

Fishing
I have loved to fish for a long time. I hate fish though, the taste, the smell, its all gross to me. But I love to go fishing. I know weird, but I love it. I have been trying to get Jon to take me for a long time but we can never seem to go. Thanks to Kiers and meeting Jake we can now go fishing anytime. Jake's family lives right behind the river so we just go to his house and go. I was so excited to go with Kiers. Not wanting to take Carson with us we left him with Jake's family. They were such good sports. The figured out that if they kept giving Carson a cheerio every couple minutes he wouldn't cry or fuss for them!
Once we got to the river we had to walk across a ton of rocks to get to the "good" fishing spot. I can say that I have never been so grossed out in my life it was like walking over a ocean of spiders just to get there. I HATED IT. Ok, so maybe that was an exaggeration, but there were seriously a ton of them everywhere. Everytime you would take a step you would see spiders moving to get out of the way. They were everywhere. Gross just thinking about it. Once we got there and started it was so much fun. By the end of the day, that's right I caught 3 fish!!! I didn't get any pictures because we left the camera in the car.....oh well. It was lots of fun, maybe I will be able to get Jon to take me to a place with not so much spiders next time!
Crawling.....Not really
According to Baby Center and all those magazines, and all the baby sites on-line, they all say that your baby could start to crawl from as early as 3 months. Well by the time Carson turned 8 months (which is the usual age were kids start to crawl or when they get really close to do it) Carson was still just rolling around. He got to where he wanted to go just by rolling. It didn't bother me, I didn't have to baby proof the house yet! So we are coming up on a year now, and still no "official" crawling yet. He has mastered the "Army Crawl" as of now. He can get around pretty dang fast. It's really quite funny to watch especially when we set the bottle across the room for him to get. We will have to get that on video so everyone can watch! We aren't worried or anything, some kiddos take longer to get the hang of things. It's fine, but he talks a ton. He babbles on for hours though! I'll take that anyday!
At the Park......So Fun!!!
We went to Smith Park because this is the only park that has the baby swings. So much fun!
Between Semesters
I love when the semester's end up here because it becomes our little town again. You don't have to fight to get good parking where ever you go, you don't have to wait forever in lines, and there isn't have as much traffic, its wonderful! Its nice to have that one week or if we are lucky a little longer. We look forward to that break everytime a semester starts again. But than we realize that everytime that break is here we get to have a "visitor" stay with us! Whom would that be......my sister Kierston. Yup, its true. She has stayed with us ever since we got married, so that would be going on three years now! I'm not saying that having her here is a bad thing, its actually quite fun! We have a babysitter here all the time, we have to get more food than usual, take shorter showers, our house becomes a storage unit but she does provide constant entertainment. Especially when you lose at Old Maid!!! Really she is fun to have around when the break comes around. We love you Kiers!
I took the leap
Since I am now a stay at home mom, it can sometimes drive me crazy. Ya know not being able to go and do things spur the moment, the baby talk all day long. It can make someone crazy! So I finally decided to do something about it. I am now a At Home America Specialist. That means that I sell Home Decor. I figured that since I have a home now, I should start to decorate it. And the prices are very reasonable. And the quality is much better than you would get anywhere else! If anyone would like to check out my website its........ www.athome.com/sydneymcmullin
Check it out!!! If you would like to host a party.......I promise you will have so much fun! I mean, food, girls, hanging out and looking through catalogs.......what more could you ask for!!!
