Happy Birthday Sweet Babies!

We celebrated the kids' birthdays this weekend. We went to see Planet 51 at the discount theater. The kids loved it. They were funny to watch.

I can't believe my kids are growing up. I took them to the dr. at the first of the month and they are both growing great. Tray is still in the 97% for his weight and height and Kinlee is just average and perfect in the 75%.

Tray-

50 lbs (greater than 97th percentile)

43 in (96th percentile)

Kinlee-

29 lbs (79th percentile)

33 1/2 in (51th percentile)

Both kids are so cute right now. I can't believe how grown up Tray seems to me sometimes. I love that he has been going to school because I think it's helped him grow up so much more. You can actually understand things he says and he is getting so smart.

Kinlee loves to be Tray's shadow. Anything he does, she needs to do too. She loves to sing ABCs with him and she knows 3 colors, blue, green, and pink. She calls the color yellow "nanna" but at least she can recognize it's the same color.

We have been practicing letters and numbers at home with Tray with flashcards and Kinlee loves to hold them up to Tray and then say "Good Job" no matter what he answers.

I love both my kiddies so much. They bring so much joy to my life and the small moments of insanity seem meaningless to how much fun they are and how fast their childhood will go by.

Happy Birthday you two!!!

I've Switched Teams

One of the biggest things that has happened to me is around November I switched teams. I'm no longer a faithful person. At first I felt guilty like this new love affair was something so so wrong, but after a while and going back to what I thought I loved, I knew my new love was meant to be.... I've left my beloved Pepsi for Dr. Pepper!!!!!

I have been a Pepsi drinker probably since I started working at North Valley Catering in 1998 or even before then. But when I started working there I could get fountain drinks for free.

This switch has been a huge change for me. I felt a little lost without my tried and true Mr. Blue in the fridge, but after a few months of not tasting him I tried a little tonight and he didn't do it for me still.

I've been trying really hard to not drink as much soda as I had been (almost a 12 pack within 3 days) and I have done pretty good. I limit myself to 1 Dr. P a day. Let's hope that I won't over indulge in my new love and he can last as long as Mr. Blue.

Here's to the next few year Dr.

Life in Public

When will I be ready to put my life back in the public eye? I don't really know. I don't even feel like updating my status on Facebook anymore. I feel like there are some people that read about my life and then turn around and make fun of me or feel like things I do are way below their level of class. I don't like feeling that way. I feel like I'm typically a good person. I may have moments that I react too quickly and do things that I regret but I'm pretty sure everyone has those moments. Maybe when I feel comfortable with myself again I will put myself back into the public eye.

You Found Me!

If you found me, good for you. After a lot of thinking I decided I kinda want to hide out for a little bit. I didn't want to just make my blog private because I'm too lazy to add email addresses to invite people to view it. So I just thought I'd move it to a new address.

Lots of things have been happening lately!!! 1st of all..... our house is almost finished!!

I think we'll be closing on it next week sometime. I have a lot of packing to do but I'm so glad to be out of this apartment! I have a few pictures of it along the way and I'll be taking some when it's all the way done.

I have a lot to catch up on and I hope to do so soon. I need to blog about Christmas, the birthdays, how the kids are growing, and I've been thinking of some funny posts to add along the way too!
