There is a Nudist Camp here in my home. My neigbor Heidi thinks it would be funny to post pictures of it. She also kindly added in that the "Child Porn Addicts" would love me, so I must decline. Today we went for a walk as a large unit. Caiden ditched his bike a quarter of the way through and then proceeded to stand and stare at teh water drainoff from teh subdivision sprinklers. Heidi says, "He just like to watch the action.." I know I shouldn't let it bother me so much and I should let him be his own kid but sometimes I get so impatient. I need to pray for an extra helping of patience. Hannah has just had some sort of epiphany about the pedals on her tricycle and decided it is a good time to figure them out. Thus she and Caiden were moving at about the same rate of speed while everyone else was Zooming ahead. Did I mention that the "regulars" like to swim at 10 am? starting at 9 the kids start trying to escape out side if we haven't already gone on a walk and saying, "are we gonna swim??" "can we get in the pool?" until I give in a fill it up then they proceed to strip naked on the back deck and jump in this freezing cold pool at say "AHHHHHHHH it COLD!!!!" It's probably not funny to anyone but me but no matter how much I try and reason with them, even the oldest at 6 doesn't seem to care that everyday the pool is really cold at 10 am and everyday they say the same thing. Other than the frustrating walk and the icy pool we have been doing "shape paintings" I like those better than regular paper plus it kinda builds "coloring in the lines" type of skills. I am having really hard time holding back the Pre School material for the Fall, but I know I need to have a Summer Curriculum and a School Curriculum. Since its a Short week in the way of how many kids I am trying desperately to save the big projects for the full week next week.
Yesterday AJ's truck "broke" aka-he didn't put gas in it. He says he did but honestly I don't see how you can blow through 40 bucks worth of gas going 8 miles a day in 4 days. He says, "It's just time for a new car...It must just be not using the gas right". Who knows, I think he is full of crap. And it doesn't help him that he has a track record of lying about stupid things. Either way I am going to take the truck myself and fill it up. And get more Lawn Mower Gas. Also he is Irritated with the church. He think they are pushing too much. We got invited to go to a Family Workshop Class During the Sunday School Hour though I am not sure if he will go being as he doesn't go to church with me and the kids to begin with. I have to remember to be Nice, and Pray.

History
So this is the Official Babysitter Bootcamp and Ridley Family Blog. First off you need to know who we are and what we are about.
Here it goes:
My name is Nicole Ridley I am a Libra, My name means Overcommer/Victory of the People, I love my Children I am a convert of 1.5 yrs to the LDS church and am loving every minute of it.
My Husbands name is Alden (AJ) Ridley, He is a Scorpio, He is named after the barrelmaker Jon Alden, He is LDS but has somewhat "fallen off the Wagon" and gone inactive. But alas, he is my husband.
Our Daughter is Hannah Ridley, she is a Scorpio, she is going on 3. He name means Graceful-which she is anything but when she throws her terrible red-headded tantrums. She along with her brother attend church with me on sundays. She is very good at praying at home-not sure about nursery.
Our Son is Caiden Ridley he is also a Scorpio, he will be 2. His name has no meaning (I know because I just looked it up) He is a great talker for his age and has always been a quick boy. He is VERY VERY BOY.
My Husband and I did not meet under fairy tale circumstances nor were we wed in such a manner-IE the twin falls county courthouse. But through all of our trouble and differences I believe that we have done rather well and have been gradually moving forward in our relationship. However religion has become a rather large barrier between us, not that we don't have other issues, or that our relationship is fantastic. Our marriage has three people involved; He, I and God.
We live in Idaho in a great little town-wish I spent less time running to Twin and more time exploring my options right here. It's nice to support the "little man." My husband fancies himself a mechanic/driver for a long haul trucking outfit about 4 miles from where we live. He loves farming stuff though and when we go anywhere near a harvest or a field he is trying to tell me how to swath a field or what not. I do wish he would find something he really liked to do. I have an In Home Daycare that is doing rather well. I also have worked quite a bit as a CNA. Here in daycare land we are very scheduled for the most part. And I do believe that this consistency give the children something to look forward to. My children like living in a daycare for the most part but Caiden especially does not understand why when the other kids bring personal toys he cannot touch them while he must share everything. All I can say is that I hope they do not end up emotionally damaged. We LOVE DORA THE EXPLORER. If they made Spanish this much fun when I was in school I would have mastered it by now. And contrary to my mothers opinion I believe that it is necessary to at least know some Spanish today. Even though "This is America! Speak English!" So thats about it. I have no idea where my camera cord is so I will post pictures later.
