Ouwee and Apple

Heres that cute video i was talking about below.

Words of the Week

Kaden has added a few more words to his vocabulary. Ouwee, and apple. That's all hes saying right now. Its so cute. I'm proud of him, and of me. i told myself that i wouldn't get to watch the hills tonight if i didn't read one of the 3 stories i have left for my Mass Media class, and i did. and i proud, and i liked it. shocking. It was like 6 pages long, which isn't a lot, but it took me about 30 minutes to get through it. its a hard read, a lot of material, dense and dry. so i was surprise that i actually wanted to keep reading. It was about copyright, which i didn't know anything about. I have my first mid-term on Thursday, right before we leave to go to Rochester!! yay!! So that's why I'm getting a jump start on the whole studying thing. :) did i mention its essay? that's going to suck. i don't know if you've notice, but sometimes its hard for me to express my self in words. I'm not very good at that. I'm more of an action person i think. yeah.





yesterday we went to Gigi and papas for dinner and that was fun. we had chili. then kaden and i went on the four-wheeler, and got so totally lost. it was crazy. but we found our way out, and on the way there i saw this cool little animals house. so i went back and took pictures. (below) i was a little scared that something might jump out at me. i kept picturing the wolf from the movie The Neverending Story, that was so freaky.







today i read about what happened in Wisconsin. It was so sad. I cried a little. My BFF Ashley calls me a big baby. I am a big baby. ;) and OMGosh... for my Mass Media class we have to read the NY Times everyday and i usually don't. but today i decided to pick it up, and on the front of the business page is my most favorite Friday night show... INTERVENTION. It was all about how the producers are letting the addicts do unlawful things under the influence, like driving drunk, and questioning when the right time to step in is. I actually read it. It was awesome.





Well, the Hills is on soon. Later...

A funny video

here the other video of kaden and the curtain... the other one didnt turn out as great. ALSO... i posted one below right before i posted this one. Keep up to date! ;) hehe.

Single Parent Class

YAY.. finally i meet people. tonight we went to this single parent class at the campus daycare center. Its every Wednesday from 530 to 7. I loved it. They feed us dinner, and then the kids play while the parents in a separate room talk and stuff. it was a lot of fun, and i finally feel like I'm going to make some friends. Which is way awesome! I think Kaden had a lot of fun also. He went straight to bed tonight, he was pooped. Unlike last night when he stayed up until 11:30. Ugh.. i know mom... I'm supposed to let him scream. but he literally screamed for 20 minutes, and was thrashing himself EVERYWHERE. and he didn't stop scream and throwing himself all over the room even when i took him out of his crib. So i think it was more that he just didn't want to go to bed. But, tonight there was NO battle, which is always good. Well, that's all for now... :)

Environmental Earth and Space Studies! woot!

Okay, so... my first official degree i was going to get was nursing, and for some reason i didn't want to.. i didn't know why. But when i found out i could do something else i definitely jumped at the opportunity. So i changed it to biology, and then found out i can do the same thing in chemistry that i was going to do in biology, and liked that much better. Well.. now i have changed it once again. Now it is ...SURPRISE... a bachelors in environmental earth and space studies!!! yay!! I'm sooo excited. woo. hahaha, JK!! i changed it back to nursing. which i AM really excited about now. I want to help deliver the babies. I think the reason behind that too is my nurse that i had watched TV the whole time. yeah... no joke. Plus nursing has more of a personal touch to it. I'll get to interact with people rather than petri dishes.

Anyway, its also funny that i said environmental earth and space studies because if i couldn't do the nursing i was considering that. I'm taking this AWESOME class call People and The Environment. Its SO great. I'm really learning something FINALLY. And I'm really interested in what the professors are talking about. Today we learned about Carrying Capacity, 2ND Law of thermodynamics, the energy flow through food chains. Its VERY interesting. I love it. I will NEVER skip that class (its only once a week too). And for the small group i have for that class we are going to Bemidji State Park on Thursday to go on the Bog Walk. I'm so excited!

Below is a video of Kaden running back and forth behind this curtain i set up. You can also see how i rearranged my apartment. Hes so funny. I love em.

A Boring Week..

So nothing super interesting happened this week really. I had a chem test, worked a little bit. But nothing too interesting. I did however get my math test back, and the average was 54% which is a D, and awful. The teacher wasn't too happy. So i didn't feel too bad when i got a 42%. which... is bad. but, obviously... hes not the greatest teacher. But i think i'll do much better on this next test. ANYWAY.... so like i said nothing too big happened. Nonna bought kaden this super cool toy picture is below.



How cool is that? He is going to LOVE it. i just know it.





Well, I'm excited to go down to Rochester in two weeks for Ashley's baby shower. I cant wait. I've been super board up here. Although i think I'm going to invite the other Kelsey up here that i know to go to Karaoke Night at the 71 Bar. Gigi said she would babysit so that's cool. Oh! Something we did this weekend was go to this Kid Operation thing at the mall. It was cool. They took his picture, and took his fingerprints and DNA swab stuff, and now if he ever gets stolen... (hopefully not) I'll have everything i need. Isn't that cool? yeah... well, were are gonna play with his new hot wheels. He doesn't like it when I'm on the computer... because then I'm not playing with him. :)

After Seven Days of Rest

So... the seven days are up... and i was bored. really really really bored. i broke the rule a few times, but that's just in my nature. But last weekend my friend Ashley came up and she hung out with us. It was so fun. we dyed my hair on Friday night... just a little darker. ( i needed it sooo bad too) and then we watched a movie, we went out to the campsite which was way fun too, we did LOTS. i miss her a lot. above is a picture i took.. she 7 months prego. I'm excited for her. its also a little cool in a sad sorta way but we have the same situation with baby's and baby daddy drama. So its kinda fun to have someone to share that with.


Speaking of baby, Kaden has had quite a week. But that's next, right now is still about me. Soo... on Saturday night i had a super high temp. and i did ALL week, until about Thursday. i had a fever, a head ace, i didn't want to do anything.. and so i didn't. and it was fun for a while, but i have a lot of homework to catch up on. OKAY so... now about the baby.




Kaden has done a lot this week. i made a list.


1. He can SAY 'all done' with the sign language


2. He can do the sign for 'please'


3. The following are things he can point to on his body when you ask him to:
-ears, eyes, toes, diaper (and he can say diaper)
-Mommy's toes, Mommy's eyes, and I'm sure there is MORE to come.



Yesterday (Saturday) we went to Gigi's for dinner. We went on a boat ride, and i really wanted to see what wild rice looked like because I'm learning a lot about it in school right now. So, all thanks to me... we get stuck. And poor grandma has to get out of the boat, in the water, and push us. i felt bad. but i didn't really want to get in it either. but we got out, and it was fun. i also saw this super cute turtle.. it was a small one and bright green and yellow and red. it was cute. but anyway...


We also JUST got out of the emergency room about 30 minutes ago (he is napping right now). Kaden crushed his thumb in the door when he was trying to shut it. And it started to bleed a little, but that's not why i decided to take him in. It was because his thumb swelled up instantly 3 times the size. it was awful. But this visit was a pleasant, and super fast one. so, we were probably there less than an hour, which is AWESOME. So, it isn't broken, and hes gonna be fine.

Well thats all for now...
