Verdon Family Blog: {Knock Knock} *Anybody out there?*

Wow! Where has the time gone!? I think this is a trend among the beginning of my posts lately is to ask where the time has gone! I find most days that I just don't have enough of it, yet it goes so fast. A lot has been going on in our lives as you can imagine, so finding some time to write a blog has been back on the list of to dos. A lot of it has to do with getting a new camera and I didn't think it would work with my little laptop, but I found out today that my computer handles those big photo files like a champ! Yay!

So- what all has happened since the last time I blogged? A lot! Wow, May flew by... lets see, the first weekend in May I ran a 1/2 marathon in Eau Claire. My time was under 2 1/2 hours. It was a huge accomplishment to a goal I had set for myself a long time ago and was happy to see the finish line that was for sure!

The second weekend in May we went to Oshkosh at the last minute. I was on my way home from work on Friday night and Jake's parents were planning on heading over to visit his brother in Oshkosh, we were planning on being home all weekend. After realizing we didn't have much to stick around for we decided to head over to Oshkosh that night. What a whirl wind it was getting the kids ready! But we made it there in good time. We celebrated Gavin's birthday that weekend at Chuckie Cheese. Hunter and Abby had a blast.

The following weekend I was in my cousins wedding. That was so much fun. I don't think I've had so much fun being in a wedding before! The kids ended up going home before the dance since they were tired, but I think Hunter had all intentions on dancing up a storm! Oh well, I made his absence up for him... I was quite sore for a few days afterward with all of the head bouncing I did while dancing!

The weekend after that was the weekend between Jake and my birthday. We were invited up to a mud bog up north so we went from Friday through Sunday. We had a most fabulous time and met some really awesome people. This is something we would love to do again in the future. I have attached a clip of what the mud bog is like up there... something I would never had known existed!

Now looking into June Jake and I are excited for our upcoming trip to Texas to visit some friends. We are thinking of things to do down there and looking forward to relaxing and just having a good time. I'm currently getting into my job search and have an interview tomorrow for one of the positions I've applied for. I'm hoping to hear more in the future with my job search and to land a great job. I also will be taking my Nursing Home Administrator Licensing Exam probably this month. I'm studying for that currently.

Abigail is doing fabulous. I would love to post what she IS doing, but I feel that the list would be shorter if I posted what she ISN'T doing! She is so incredibly smart and we LOVE watching her and Hunter talk and communicate together. They love each other so much (for now...) and get along great most of the time. She loves to boss people around and she is such a ham. She will put on a show for pretty much anyone these days. Give her a giggle and she will the same action again and again for you!

Hunter is also doing wonderful. He is a great 3 year old, and although we have to deal with his whiny ways sometimes, he is more sweet than not the rest of the time. I taught him last night how to play Mario Bros. on the WII so I'm guessing our lives will start to have that incorporated into it! He loves when Jake and I take him on extended walks/runs out on the road, Abby on the other hand... she doesn't have patience for us to take extended runs, and she will let you know!

Here are some of the photos from the past month!
