July, July, July

I FINISHED and GOT MY PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION APPROVED!!!!! YAHOO!!! This is a huge, gigantic weight off my shoulders. The day after I finally turned my portfolio in truly felt like the first day of summer vacation and I was already about 3 weeks in! My buddy in this, Carley, had hers turned in about a week before me which is probably what got me to actually get it done in June and not July Ha! Hopefully the two of us will do some celebrating together soon. :-)
Summer break has been slowly creaping by which I am loving. The only bad part is I'm almost halfway through which means it will suddenly start flying by- it always does. While I enjoy the people I work with I would LOVE to be a 100% stay at home mom. I love being Dax's mom and taking care of him all day long. It just feels like this is what I am REALLY supposed to be doing. The beauty of my job is that I do get to be a stay at home mom for part of the year. I am learning to enjoy every second of it. I'm also dreading going back to the office because of some changes at the state level that will impact our program. Not sure what they are exactly yet but means once again we will have some changes in store. Will make fall interesting figuring them out and getting the year rolling.
Dax is growing like a weed, of course. :-) Everyday he's doing something new, saying something new and getting into new forms of trouble, ha! He loves playing in the pool and has even tripped a couple of times going under the water and doesn't panic. He is really starting to be hilarious with everday antics. He loves to tell the cows and dogs to 'go on' but it sounds more like g-on. Oh and he also throughs in an arm motion with it that really completes it. He is also starting to really jabber and regularly will start telling a 'story' that I only recognize about half the things he's telling me. He loves to talk about Daddy, Bill and sissy. Often telling me something about them while laughing, saying 'no no' and their names. It's very funny! He LOVES being outside and throws a fit about going inside unless Daddy or Uncle Bill are around- he'll follow them anywhere. :-)
I have been semi-sucessful on the garden front all ready. :-) Corn, onions and pumpkins are all coming up in the garden, even if nothing actually comes out of the garden I'm just excited that something came up!! Next year I'm going to expand my selection with other veggies.
I think that's about it for now. I am horrible about writing posts and pretty sure they're probably boring to just about everyone besides me, ha! Hope someone is still reading this. :-p
