Some Catching Up to Do!!

Wow! Time goes by way too fast! It has been a crazy while for this family of 4!! I check in regularly hoping to find a new post that the magical blog fairy has left for me only to find an empty page with the last date I posted!! It has been a LONG time my friends!! The blog fairy doesn't exist and so here I am!!! I am going to try and catch you all up on what's been going on with us, you may get board and some may seem out of date but, I want to make sure I fill in all the blanks!! So please stay tuned for regular scheduled posts!!

MOM'S ASSISTANT

The past few days we have had the priveledge of watching two of our favorite little babies. Lola LOVES IT!! So as I was trying to keep a crying little one happy I asked her to get me her bottle. The reply I got was "geez I'm not the mommy," So I said let's trade I'll be the kid and you be the mommy. With a look of ARE YOU INSANE?? I got "No I don't want to be the mommy, I'll just be the ASSISTANT MOMMY!!!" With a huge smile I agreed that we made a pretty great team!

The DETAILS...

Well where do I begin! For starters we are only renting this house. In the beginning it was always our intention to one day own it, until the time came to buy and the price tag was for lack of better words ridiculous. Our house is amazing don't get me wrong, but when it does not appraise for what the seller wants it makes you step back and rethink a few things! To start with I LOVE this neighborhood there is not one thing I would change,( well except that it were gated and only those with a pass could get in!!) But when it comes to the house it is not my "dream" home. I know it sounds petty but there are a few things I am refusing to give into, (textured walls are high on the list!) As of right now we are headed to Centerville until we decide to build or find one that fits all requirements! The time has gone way to fast and to be honest I was not ready for it to be here. I PROMISE we will not be far and you will see us often!! I plan on many BBQ's and days of popping in just to play in the circle! I wish I could have everyone pack up and start a new CC because it would make this so much easier!! I want everyone to send me email address' so that I can keep in touch and I promise I will get better at posting to keep everyone updated!!! I'm up for anyone who wants to join us and start the new "HOOD!"

FOR SALE...

Well I guess it's time. After 21/2 years it seems it's time to go. The decision was not an easy one but now that it's made I wanted to let everyone know that soon the sign will be going up and we will be moving out of our beloved "celestial circle." It will be hard and we will Greatly MISS all the fun. Don't think that we won't be back as guests to visit and to have BBQ'S!! I can honestly say that this has been one of the hardest choices we have had to make. We will be here until the end of May so hopefully the sun will start to shine so we can have some fun in the circle!! I'll keep you posted if things change!!

How old do we look??

Last night we were discussing some summer activities with the kids. We told them we were planning on camping maybe more than once. This brought up how spoiled we really are. The first question came from Tak, Can we take the Lap Top? Our reply NO! That's why you go camping to get away from all that stuff. Jason tells him that he used to go camping all the time when he was a kid, and Tak's response was the greatest innocent kid friendly thing I've heard..... "Dad you only went camping alot because back then you didn't have color T.V.." Of course that sent my age sensitive hubby into a rant about how they had color t.v. and only 1 portable B/W televison set!! I had to sit back and giggle only because it wasn't directed at me!!! That's when I began to question "How old do we look!"

NERD STINCTS

We like to tease Jase about all the bits and pieces of crazy info he has, so Tak told him his nerd instincts were coming out and Liv's reply was ya dad your NERD STINCTS are coming out!

Bug Tag

I'm not sure if now is a good time to ask me to narrow it down to 10, but I will!!
1. Fake people
2. Unexpected expenses
3. Bad Haircuts!!(occupational hazard)
4. Laundry!!
5. Smoking
6. Little tiny barbie pieces!!!
7. Stinky soccer socks!
8. When nobody in my house wants to talk to me until I'm on the phone
9. When I let little things bug me!!
10. Parents that don't take care of their own kids! I stopped at 2 for a reason!!

Now I tag.... Jenny R., Jen Burbidge, Nicole, Beelyn have fun

Seriously??!

Have you ever had one of those days? One of those days were nothing is right from morning till night, one of those days??? The only saving I had was Miss Och and yoga!! Thanks for listening!

MY BABY'S 5!!!

Time flies when your having fun!! It's amazing to me to think that my baby girl is 5!! She has been so much fun!! She and her brother have such a special bond, it all started when HE picked her name. We have been so blessed to have her in our family. Sometimes I think she is 4 going on 15 but I wouldn't change her for the world! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LoLA!!! WE LOve you!

Bits & Pieces

So as you all can tell my blogging is in "Bits & Pieces" so My goal is to be better at it than in the past so I'm not making any promises but I'll give it my best shot!! So here is something I thought was worth sharing!!! As I try to be an involved parent I volunteer at T's school in his class, I had read the cute little signs in the room before but for some reason they have been stuck in my mind, SOOOO here I am finally sharing for all of you to smile at the funny things kids say.... I think the title of the book is The lesson's kids live by or something like that
1. NEVER tell your mom her diet isn't working!
2. When your dad is mad and asks "do I look stupid?" DON'T answer
3. Never baptize a CAT!!
There are so many more but I can't help but smile when I read the first two I think they must have been around my house once or twice!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Jan. 18,...
Today is the big day!! Jason's BIrTHDay!! He might just kill me if I give him an age but I'll just say he's getting closer to the "BIG" one!! WE just wanted him to know that he has achived "BLOG" status and we LOVE him the MOSTEST and want him to have the HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY possible! WE love YOu!

The LION and The DANCER....

Because I'm going through pix and trying to catch up I decide this was a must post!! Her is my Lola and her friend Soph. Anyone who knows these two knows they are extreme opposites, but both give into the other for the sake of play time!! Soph would rather be Scar the "mean" LION (I don't think there is a true mean bone in her little body!) over a fruffy DANCER any day, until Lo gives her the PLEEEASE we can put lipstick on and it will be FAB- U- LOUS!!! (In the sing song tone only she do!) How can anyone resist lipstick and the chance to paint your face with what is usually off limits? Well here is the result aren't they FAB....

BEtter LAte than Never!!

I'm a little slow on this and I apologize!! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season full of GoOd FoOd, GoOd FrieNds, and of course FAMily!! We were able to spend time with family and meet some new friends! (even though I don't think i'll be playing phase 10 for a LONG timE!) I'll post some pix and give more detail into what I hope for in 09' and what I learned in 2008!! More to come....
