Just look at that big smile. Ryan got to fulfill every little boys dream. He and a buddy got to play fireman at a job training. --You know just in case they are ever on a rig and need to put out an oil fire....wink, wink. He had a good time and has a new found respect for all those men and women in the world that suit up in the interest of our safety. He got some cool pictures too.

On the home front, I have been working quit a bit lately. It is the beginning of the summer and marks my busy time. All of the new staff at the Y (lifeguards, camp counselors, etc..) have to be CPR/First aid certified. I taught 6 classes last week for the Y and 4 classes for the Country club in the area. It was my first time working a "real job" on my own. Meaning not affiliated with the Y and not a friend. It was pretty good and a good way to make some good money fast. In case anyone is wanting to look into it. I never would have guessed you could make such good money teaching CPR!

The kids are both out of pre-school. And I am happy to report they both made good progress. And we got through it for the most part without incident. Every time I picked Aden up I would wait for his teacher to tell me that he told the class to pick up their damn toys. Or ask "where the hell is my show and tell". Two word I am afraid he has learned from his sometimes potty mouth momma. He also went through a phase were he asked about his penis all of the time. All of which he reserved for the privacy of our family. He is getting way too big and is so fun to talk with now. I can't believe he will be in kindergarten in a few months. Which is all day here. I'll miss him.

Brynn is making progress. I know I mentioned the new diet for her. We have also started some alternative therapies for her. She is drinking a Native American tea from www.ojibwatea.com. The owner called me after my initial order and talked to me about Brynn. She is a good soul and is very focused on helping people naturally. Especially the autistic community. We are also doing some acupressure type treatments called NAET. I try to explain it to people and they look at my like I have two heads. It is based on kinesiology, chiropractic and oriental medicine. We have seen good things so far and expect to see more. She can actually almost say book! It is more like oook (strong emphasis on the k). I always dreamed her first word would be mommy. But I'll take book!

Cannen is just cute.
