I LOVE PUDDING!!


My stomach feels like it's on fire all the time so I think that's why I crave COLD things. This week has been a million times better than last week!! I think that shot might have helped!

It was such a fun week! We've enjoyed really pleasant, sunny days and the girls and I spent hours at the park with friends! We even got sunburns! I tell you what - I much prefer being outside than being in my house. There are smells galore when I'm indoors and it doesn't help much with my nausea!






Last night Nathan I went out to dinner with some of his classmates and their wives! It was really fun! We got Indian food and it was SO tasty! It was great getting to know everyone better. I hope we do it again really soon. I wish I'd gotten a picture of all of us! Oh well...

Well - I'm off to enjoy the day - I love springtime in CT!!

Questions and Answers.

Questions I've been hearing A LOT over the past year and a half:

"When are you Nathan going to have another baby?"
"Are you trying?" (My personal favorite.)
"Are you pregnant?"
"It's about time, don't you think?"

These questions don't offend me or anything - I just never really know what to say. Well, I have something to say now. Mostly a lot of whining. =)

In answer to your questions (in order)

1. When are we going to have another baby?

NOVEMBER 16th 2008!!!

2. Are we trying?

Um. See what I mean?? How do you answer this question???!

3. Am I pregnant?

For sure.

4. It's about time...

Yes it is.

So!! Now for the details!! I am not very far along. We would normally wait another month before telling everyone but people are starting to notice me being weird and I just really want some sympathy! I'm 8 weeks and sicker than I've EVER been. EVER.

We've had our first ultrasound and if I was really cool I'd scan the picture. I'm not feeling very cool right now. =) Everything looked great with the baby! Right on schedule. Only one baby! I thought maybe I had two because my Dr. said my uterus was measuring big and because I've been so sick. If you remember, I started out with 2 on my first pregnancy.



Haha! Sorry - couldn't resist. =)

Anyway - for the past 3 weeks things have just gotten worse and worse. The first couple weeks I was just EXTREMELY nauseous 24-7 and dry heaving occasionally. Then, last weekend was actually pretty good! I was up and not feeling too bad so I thought things were looking up! Monday morning was great - Nathan and I went to Anika's parent-teacher conference and then to the ultrasound. After that we went to a burger place for lunch. That afternoon was the start of the week from HELL. I hardly got off the couch from Monday-Wednesday. I threw up everything I ate. On Thursday I got up to take Anika to school and pick her up and then it was back to the couch for me. I pretty much just stared at the wall or the TV. I haven't watched so much TV in a LONG time! I did go in to the Dr. and he gave me a vitamin B12 injection and things have been a little better yesterday and today.

I was never this sick with Anika or Kes. I think I threw up once or twice with them. I hardly ever had heartburn - I already do with this one. I'm bloated and emotional and tired. I'm not sure what's going on but I really hope I forget this experience or I won't be wanting to be pregnant again any time soon!

Nathan had spring break this past week. He got to spend it taking care of me and the girls. He has emptied my throw up bowl many times and has been so wonderful. I don't know what I would have done without him. The girls have been little angels. They play all day and fetch me things whenever I ask them to. They love to get me snacks and water and my bowl. =) It's so cute when Keslie asks me how I'm feeling. She usually says "Are you a little bit better mommy?" and Anika is so cheerful - I'll ask her to get me a drink and she says "SHORE!!" (sure). Her voice is so expressive. Nathan says she sounds like Dora. She has been saying "Come on! Vamanos!" a lot lately. =)

Anika got her kindergarten shots yesterday. 6 POKES!! Can you believe that?? Poor little thing! At least she's done until she's 11! She was so cute about it though. As we were walking in she said to the nurse "I'm here to get a pinch because I'm getting ready for kindergarten!!" It's all she can talk about! =)

Here are some little tidbits I had started to type last weekend:

My girls say such cute things all the live long day! Anika and Kes made some Binoculars today at a birthday party and Anika has been calling them cunoculars. =) Sometimes their words are SO much better than the real thing and so I just can't bring myself to correct them. A couple other things:Breftis for breakfast, I'n for I'm and now I'm totally blanking on the others.

Whenever someone (usually daddy) is doing something fun with Keslie - ie: throwing her across the room onto the couch, tossing her into the air, spinning her around, tickling her belly, etc - She immediately asks to do it again. She says "I want to do that EYE-gain!! We love the way she says it!

Anika walked in on Nathan while he was using the bathroom (he has since learned to LOCK the door!) and was taken aback by what she saw! She said "Daddy! You have a noodle hiney!!" Hahahaha!! Sorry if that was too much info but it was just too hilarious not to share!

Keslie fell off of the top bunk tonight. It freaked us out because she fell head first and landed on her head. I'm so glad she didn't get hurt too badly. She does have a pretty big bump on her noggin, though. =)

And that is the end of this boring post! Now hurry! Comment so that I have something to distract me from my misery! =)

Catching up!

We have had TONS going on and once again I just haven't felt like blogging! I'm actually feeling up to it so I thought I should get crackin'!

First of all - I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Our whole weekend was filled with Easter festivities and it was great! Here are the girls all dolled up for church! Aren't they beauties?







We had a fun little Easter egg hunt playgroup last week! I really don't like that Easter was so early this year! It was WET all day so we had to do the hunt indoors. I don't think the kids cared though! Here are some photos from that:






Friday night we colored our Easter Eggs:







We had a very busy day on Saturday! We got up early and saw that the Easter Bunny had stopped by our house!! The girls were SO excited! After that we went over to our friend's house for a birthday breakfast for their son, Samuel. It was DELICIOUS and fun to be over there! After that we headed out to Farmington for the Easter Egg hunt. I don't think we will go to that one again! Last year the girls got to hunt with the younger crowd this year we put both of them in with the 3-4 year old group and Keslie got ZERO eggs and Anika got 5. The kids just swept over the place and the parents were SUPER pushy. I was pretty annoyed. =) They did have fun getting there faces painted and jumping in the bounce house though!

Anika said "MOM!! DAD!! That SILLY Easter Bunny hid an egg in this shoe!" Then she died laughing. It was so cute!







That night we had Jack over to play while Jenny and Josh went on a date! The kids had a ball. At one point Nathan got out the Wii and tried to teach them how to bowl. Apparently, our kids are the only ones NOT savvy at the Wii! It was pretty cute to watch them try. Anika caught on but Keslie was all over the place. =) On Sunday we went to church and then came home and went over to some friend's house for a delicious dinner! And that about raps up our Easter festivities!

It's been so fabulous having Nathan home! He was gone for 8 days in Paraguay and Argentina! He went there with some of his school buddies to do volunteer work down there. They extracted lots of teeth and taught the kids how to floss and brush. They also got to see a bunch of fun stuff! I told Nathan that he should post about his trip but I doubt he'll ever get around to it! I wish he would because he has some fun stories! He took tons of pictures though! So, I'm going to put them in a bubbleshare album so that you can check them out!! Enjoy!

Random (really random) stuff

Curse the rain today! I was going to be SUPER cool and take the girls to the St. Patrick's Day parade but it doesn't look like that will happen! Oh well. I really hope that our Easter Egg festivities aren't ruined by rain though!

A few things I'm thinking about:

Did you guys watch LOST? Don't read on if you didn't. Did you BAWL your eyes out at the end? What in the HECK? Is Jin really dead? Help me out here - the stuff with Jin was a FLASHBACK and the stuff with Sun was a flash forward, right? I was not surprised that Michael was Ben's spy on the ship. I'm on the fence about Ben. I don't trust him. He seems bad to me. But I do trust Sayid and we know that when Sayid gets off the island he starts working for Ben. Why would he do that? I can't wait for that mystery to be solved. I'm also on the fence about Juliette. I like that she and Jack are together because I really want Kate and Sawyer to end up together. Jack really bugs me. Who do you think will die next week? Could it be Claire and that is how Kate ends up with Aaron? Or do you think that "Aaron" is Kate's baby with Sawyer? Gosh. This show is SO confusing - but I love it. =)

Last night the girls and I had a girls night out. We went out to eat at Red Robin and then came home and watched Bee Movie. It was pretty cute!

Keslie's new thing to say is:
"You are a mudder and daddy is a fodder and I am a cutie".

I am officially the worst daughter ever. I forgot my mom's birthday. And Alyssa's. Add in Amber's and Samuel's and Rachel's and Renee's and I'm feeling pretty pathetic. Some comfort please. Does anybody else have a problem with birthdays? I just seem to get worse and worse as the years go on.

I've decided to do the 10 years ago tag that's floating around.

10 yrs ago:
*I was 16 and in my Sophomore year at Westwood. My parents had just gotten married and we had moved to Gilbert. My dad let me finish out that year at Westwood so I got to drive to school. Right about now I was probably getting busted for stopping to get ice-cream on my way home from school. RULE #1 - I was absolutely not supposed to drive anywhere but to and from school. I felt that my argument was pretty strong - Roseanne's (the ice-cream place) was RIGHT off the road so I was basically just stopping, not driving anywhere extra. I guess that was just the last straw - one time I ditched and drove somewhere for lunch and another time I gave some people a ride home. Plus I'm sure there were other things. 16 was not my best age. I was grounded until I completed 120 hours of work. =) Pretty harsh, huh?!! My dad was the best though - he'd take my sheet of paper with the hours on it and tear off 20 or so every once in awhile for good behavior. =) I was sort of dating Josh Henderson. Our relationship consisted of hanging out at school and talking on the phone. We were sure we were in love and going to get married someday. I don't know anymore. Does a 16 year old REALLY know what love is? I can't decide. I sure thought so at the time. Being 16 was just way TOO MUCH DRAMA. I guess 17 and 18 were pretty dramatic too. My journal is so funny (and humiliating) to read. One day I would HATE so and so and then the next I would LOVE them. One day someone would be my best friend and the next I would feel betrayed by them. Good grief! I'm SO glad that time in my life is over and that I grew up. =)

5 Things on my list of things to do today:
*Clean the office, the middle room, the bathroom and the hall closet
*Make no bake cookies!!
*take a nap
* make dinner.

Yeah - I have plans to be pretty unproductive today. =)


Things I would do if I suddenly was a Billionaire:
*Pay off all our student loans.
*Buy a house
*Get a second car
*Go shopping
* Share it with those that need it!

3 of my bad habits:
* I eat too much.
*I pick my nose.
* I bite and pick at my lip.

Places I have lived:
* Mesa
* North Carolina
* Gilbert
* Tucson
* Connecticut

Jobs I have had:
*Sandwich artist at Subway! YEAH!
* Car Hop at Sonic
*Customer service rep
* Dental office

Things most people don't know about me:
I feel like I'm a pretty open book but I'll try my best.

* I remember getting my umbilical chord cut off - yes my memory is that good! Haha!
* When I was a teenager I got pulled over several times and I only got warnings! I'm still ticket free - oh except for that one time I got in a car accident. I got a ticket then - but it wasn't for speeding!
* I like to clean.
* I like to drive.
* I used to be really really shy.

That's the end of that one.

So, I was reading this blog and this girl posted about how she had been having dreams about her 7th grade crush for the past several years and she finally found him using google and she SENT HIM AN E-MAIL. Just for closure, of course. But still - I found myself breathing a huge sigh of relief that I've never done that. Honestly - who hasn't had a dream or two about past loves/crushes? I've had several. Nathan knows. They aren't gross dreams - usually just hanging out and back in high school. But I wake up thinking things like - "Oh - I wonder how he's doing?! I wish I could just send him an e-mail to say hi - make sure he's happy." Or "GOSH - I HATE how that ended - it would be so nice to run into him and say the right thing for once instead of totally freaking out or send a note saying - sorry I was such a DORK". I do believe I'd like closure with lots of people - and not just guys. Sometimes I will remember something I did or said that might have offended someone - like 10 YEARS ago - and I think I should contact them and clear it up. Seriously - if they are still thinking about something like that 10 years later then they are mental. Since I'm still thinking about it - I must be mental. Anyway - what do you think? Do you think it's okay to be "friends" with men besides your husband? That sounds weird of course you'll have male friends - but I mean the kind that you e-mail, talk to on the phone, maybe go out to lunch with occasionally? I think it's okay to be friends as a couple. For example - I consider Steve S. my buddy but I'd never call him up and chat or hang out with him just the two of us. It would ALWAYS be in couples. I might be overly strict - Nathan knows that I don't want him driving alone in a car with another woman - even if they are just carpooling to the same place. It's not that I don't trust him. I just think it would make him a little too comfortable being alone with someone else. And I think that's how things start. Whoa - that was some serious rambling.

I'm off to help the girls get their toys cleaned up! They've been busy pretending all morning!
Have a great day!!

Our fun weekend - 2 weeks ago.

I'm really getting behind! Is anyone else experiencing a blog blah blah blahness? I haven't been in the mood AT ALL!

Our friends - Sumer, Richard, Richard Scott, and David came for a visit a couple weekends ago and it was so much fun! I LOVE having visitors! We put together a girl's night for Friday night and it was great to get together with everyone! On Saturday it snowed a lot! So- we rounded up all the snow clothes we had and went out and played! The boys were totally pink but I don't think they cared! Then that afternoon we went to a birthday party for Abby. It was the cutest thing ever! It was "tea party" themed and everything was so adorable! Check out the pictures. I am SO going to copy this idea someday. =)

BubbleShare: Share photos - Play some Online Games.


Sunday was our last day with the Vellinga's and Richard Scott got sick so that was a bummer! It was that lovely 24 hour flu and it went through all of us that following week. I think Nathan was the only one spared. =) It was SO worth it to have them come though! Hopefully we can talk them into coming again. =)

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

Last night I told Anika that it was time to do one of her chores and she got SO excited! She said "Thank you!!! Thank you for letting me do my chore mommy!!!". If only I could keep her this age forever! I'm sure she won't be saying that in 10 years!!

What kind of chores do you have your kids do?? I feel like I should be giving Anika more to do - especially since she's so willing! But it's just SO much easier to do it myself. These are the chores that I have the girls do:

Anika:
* Put away clean silverware, kitchen utensils, measuring cups and spoons.
* Gather all the garbage cans for Daddy on garbage day.
* Help clean up toys.
* Put away her folded laundry.

Keslie:
* Put away clean lids.
* Help clean up toys.
* Put away her folded laundry.

What do you think? Am I being too easy on them??

Keslie is SO not allowed to use markers anymore!! She was purposefully coloring on her shirt, hands, and face. SO busted!!

Odds and Ends

So, I think that we have all gotten really comment lazy lately. Myself included. I like to consider myself "in touch" with a lot of you but when we aren't commenting back and forth it hardly counts. So - I promise to recommit myself to commenting more often. And if you are visiting my blog then say hi!! I don't care who you are - relative, friend or lurker!!

If you've been reading my blog from the beginning you will recognize this picture from Anika's potty training days! It's such a jewel I had to use it again!! So, 2 days ago while I was in the kitchen I heard Anika run in to use the bathroom. A few minutes later I headed that way to make sure things were under control (we have a hand washing obsession in our house right now. I shouldn't complain - but is it too much to ask that they not get soap puddles all over the sink??!). I ran into Kes halfway there and she had her diaper off and her pants down to her ankles. She turned around and ran back to her little pink toilet and started talking about potty. I had her stand up and sure enough she had gone! All by herself! I guess her and Anika are potty buddies now. She hasn't gone again. We put her in panties and had a few accidents so we went back to the diapers. Now that I know she can do it I really just want to get it done. But I don't REALLY want to do it! Potty training is such a pain. =)

I keep trying to upload videos but I google video uploader isn't working for me and the blogger video thing is SO DARN SLOW. Does anyone know of any other good video uploader places?? They have such cute little voices!




Anika is such a chatter box!! I think I've pretty much decided that we are going to put her in Kindergarten next year! YIKES!! I feel like it's the end of an era. I'm not ready for her to be gone all day! I guess I have 6 more months. She is so sweet. I was so proud of her on Sunday when her primary teacher told me how reverent she was! She asked me if she could take her home because she is such a sweetheart! She's been having a hard time seeing her clothes be handed down to Keslie lately. She says "I don't want to get bigger because then I won't play wiff toys anymore! I just want to get littler!" But then she starts talking about getting married. Today our conversation in the car went like this: "When I get a liddle bit bigger and Connor gets a liddle bit bigger we can get married in a liddle kid temple and have liddle kid rings!" Everything is said with an exclamation point! She's so cute. When she sings the ITSY BITSY spider she says " the ipsy dipsy spider...".



Kes is at such a cute stage! She is saying so much and it's adorable! I've gotta get these videos uploaded!! It is so cute listening to her put together words and say full sentences. She is obsessed with the Olivia books! Both her and Anika have them memorized. If you haven't read them you should check em' out!







I watched the Oscars last night because I love the red carpet!! HOW CAN I GET TICKETS??

* Should I star in a movie?? Can anyone get me a part?? =)
* Start designing?
* Singing? Miley Cyrus actually presented - What is that all about???
* Maybe I need to send in an essay to Oprah and win her red carpet contest!

Anyway, wish me luck on that!

Snow Day = PJ Day!!

I love when it snows!! I love the change from barren and blah to winter wonderland!! We are having a PJ day today! I'm trying to think of fun winterish activities we can do indoors because I still don't like taking them out to play in the snow without Nathan. We will probably end up making cookies and eating them ALL. =) Maybe we will make mini snowmen with the snow from the porch!! I'll take pictures if we do!

The girls have been busy pretending all morning. I LOVE the age they are at! They are best friends and play and play all day together. It's so fun to listen to them using their imagination. Yes - they do have an imagination in case you were wondering after my previous TV post. They play a whole lot more than they watch TV. While they played I did watch last night's episode of LOST. I can't wait until everything becomes clear for me because right now I can't figure anything out. =)

Keslie had her first haircut today!! I'm not sure how well I did! She held really still for me but I couldn't tell how long anything was because of the curl factor. =) I round brushed it to see what she would look like with straightened hair. Pretty cute - but I'm partial to the curls. =)






Yesterday we finished up the girl's Easter crafts that Nana brought for them. Anika really did do most of the work. =) When we started it I wanted to make it look just like the pictures but then I realized that it's so much more fun to just let her go at it and it actually turned out really cute! Keslie had fun sticking the eggs and flowers on her tree. =) We've got some crazy hair going on!



Here is Keslie with her stroller. She likes to tromp around in rain boots. =)

Oh Indy. I love you!

Yes. I'm sitting at the computer at 8 AM watching movie trailers. The girls are busy pretending to be puppy and master - so here I sit. I am SO excited for these ones:

Does this get anyone else's heart a pumpin'?



I loved the first Batman and this one looks like it will be just as awesome! Heath Ledger is SO scary as The Joker. And Christian Bale - I've loved him since he was Jack Sullivan in Newsies!



I am such a sucker for these fantasy movies. Can't wait for this one:



This one looks really cute:



And lastly - Jack Black won me over with Nacho Libre. Hopefully this one will be as fun!



K - girls are DONE being puppies and are now begging for an apple. I better start being productive! G'bye!

Wednesday, February 20, 2008

Please meet our grass head guys! We've had them for a couple weeks now but their hair is just starting to grow in. I didn't want them to be embarrassed, so we waited until they looked their best to take pictures. =) These were such fun to make! I got the idea out of our family fun magazine.



The girls are napping so I thought I'd post a couple things!! Haha!

Our weekend with Nana and Papa West was great! It was even better than usual because they were able to stay an extra day! On Saturday the guys worked on our computer while the girls went shopping! We hit Target, Michaels, and The Build-a-Bear workshop. It was so fun and the girls got their Easter dresses! They are adorable! For lunch we just HAD to go to Jimmy's pizza and the Argentine bakery! It's tradition after all. Plus, it's DELICIOUS! When we got home we watched the movie No Reservations. It was pretty cute. =) I predicted the EXACT outcome! I know my chick flicks! Carol made chocolate lollipops with Anika after that. Nathan and I got to go on a date that night! It was so fun to go out with just us. When we got home we watched Martian Child. I thought it was excellent. We were pretty lay low on Sunday. We made cookies and worked on a little Easter bunny house that Nana brought for Anika. On Monday we walked up to the bakery again and the girls jumped in puddles. They are so different! Keslie plows into the puddles and doesn't care at all if she's wet. Anika takes really tentative steps and every once in awhile she lets loose but then gets nervous that her pants got a little water on them. They were both so cute. Anika was thrilled to be walking with Papa! Nathan did a little procedure on Carol's lip that afternoon. Pretty cool! Then that night we went to The Cheesecake Factory. IT WAS SO TASTY!! And then we went to bed. It went so fast but it was great to have them here. It will be so nice when we are closer to family. But I am going to be so sad to leave CT.





I've had a few people ask me how I have time to read with 2 girls. I promise I don't neglect them! I usually read during naps and after they go to bed. When I was sick I read ALL day though. The girls play really well together so they were running around entertaining each other or watching PBS. I LOVE PBS. Most of you know about my crush on Ted, the man in the yellow hat. I realized a couple days ago that he looks a lot like Nathan! =) There are a lot of great kids shows and some REALLY annoying ones. I love:

THE MAN IN THE YELLOW HAT from CURIOUS GEORGE







Guy Smiley from Sesame Street











I DO NOT like: Big Bird, Org from Dragon Tales, Caillou, Baby Bop, Bob the anteater from It's a Big world and Teletubbies (the girls love em' though).

I also really like The Wiggles, Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, Clifford, Super Readers, and Little Einsteins. I've come to the conclusion that it's okay for kids to watch TV sometimes. Not 24/7 OBVIOUSLY - but nowadays they make so many great educational shows. So, I love them. We read all the time and do lots of other fun things so I am tired of feeling guilty when they watch TV. From now on I will say it LOUD and PROUD - I LET MY KIDS WATCH TV! It comes in awfully handy when I need to clean or get ready for the day!

My sister (Kelyn) and I realized that we quote Disney movies ALL the time. Does anybody else do that? Those shows have the best one-liners. Anyway - where did all this come from?? I'm done!! Hope you all are having a fabulous day!!

HALLELUJAH!!


I'm so happy that our internet is fixed!! I have to admit it was nice to not have that pull to the computer for a couple weeks but, for better or for worse, it's up and running and I am thankful!

I'm also happy for a bunch of other reasons! We got to spend this last weekend with Nathan's parents- which is always fun! I have a friend coming to stay with me in a couple weeks and I can't wait! Yesterday was WARM so we went outside! The girls had a blast jumping in puddles. It was DARN cute! I'm happy because Anika has the week off of school. I'm happy because I'm feeling the itch to paint or do something fixeruppy. Two years ago I came home from Christmas vacation and tackled TONS of projects - I haven't felt the motivation to do much since. NOW I'm feeling it again! Maybe I'll finally tackle the wallpaper in the bathroom! Wish me luck! I'm happy because the writer's strike is over. Not that I watch that much TV - but I do enjoy The Office and Lost. I'm still feeling miffed that I won't get to watch my hero, Jack Bauer, in action until next year. *sigh*.

We have had a pretty uneventful month. We were sick for a couple weeks. I even got sick. When I get sick I pretty much lay around and do nothing. I'm not kidding - I read a book a day for one week. It was kind of hard coming back to the real world when it was all finished. Not that my real world isn't happy - it's just when you read about adventure and romance and vampires and princesses and happy golden days 24/7 it gets you floating through the clouds. I read a lot but I don't think I've ever read that many sappy, lovey, gooey books all in one week. =)

Well - I just wanted to say HI!! I'll be back very soon!! Happy Tuesday!!

Love Tag

Afton tagged me last week and I thought today would be a good day to do it since it's about my hubby. =) I've been M.I.A. for the last month because we were sick and then my computer caught the bug and we still haven't fixed it. I think it's been good for me. Now I only get to check my e-mail and google reader at night on Nathan's laptop!! I am no longer a slave to my computer!! I really wasn't too bad before but it's nice to not feel like I'm wasting too much time. =) I will get some pictures up and update ya'll on life as soon as we get internet back on our regular computer!! But, just so know - we are alive and happy! We really enjoyed our day of LOVE today!! Hope you all had a great Valentine's day!!

The tag:

What is his name? Nathan
How long have you been married? 6 years in MAY!!
Who long did you date? We OFFICIALLY dated for a month and a half. But we were joined at the hip for a good 8 months before he proposed. I love the way our relationship progressed. Because of our situation we went the friend route way (well, I guess not WAY - a few months.) before anything romantic happened. I think that's the way all relationships should be. We knew eachother SO well and I love the foundation we had when we began the actual courting process (courting??? SO cheesy!!) We had so much fun and could talk for HOURS.
Who eats more sweets? He digs the candy and I can't get enough cookies. =)
Who said I love you first? He did.
Who is taller? Nathan
Who can sing better? Oh - we are both incredibly talented singers. Haha!!
Who is smarter? School smart - Nathan. Everything else - me. =)
Who does the laundry? Me - but he hangs everything up!
Who pays the bills? Nathan - he is a budget guru!!
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Right now I do. But we like to mix things up and trade every once in awhile.
Who mows the lawn? Nathan usually.
Who cooks dinner? Me.
Who drives? I think I probably drive more often. I get car sick - plus I like to drive and he doesn't. But he is SUCH a backseat driver!!
Who is more stubborn? We take turns.
Who kissed who first? He kissed me first!
Who asked who out first? Him I think. Did he ever actually ask me out?? I'm not sure.
Who proposed? He did and it was so cute the way he did it.
Who has more siblings? Me
Who wears the pants? We both wear pants. =)

I love you Nathan!!

Correction.

Woops! The girls are 8 - not 9!! Good grief. I really thought I remembered them getting baptized LAST year. Sorry Baylie and Carlie! Love you!

Tuesday, February 05, 2008

Happy Birthday Carlie and Baylie!!!


My two littlest sisters turn 9 years old tomorrow!! I can't believe how big and grown up they both are. They are twins but couldn't be more different. They are so funny and say the cutest things. I love you Baylie Bop and Carlie Sue!! I hope you have a really fun birthday!!

RARRRRRRRRR!!!!

Yes. That is me GROWLING. I received a lovely virus yesterday that won't let me into my internet (I'm on Nathan's laptop) and has eaten all of our files. I am SOOO mad. Hey, if anyone knows anything about computers and what I should do about this, let me know.

Thanks!
