quickie

heres a couple picks from today

Slacker no more and I promise it was worth the wait!

Ok ok so I am so busted on not blogging every day. I owe grandmothers across the country pictures of very special little ones and updates on the daily lives!

So first and foremost happy belated birthday aunt Julie from the kiddos! Hope you had a great day and got our message!

Lets see the dance recital is coming up on May 10. Luke went to the dr last week and weighed in the heavy weight division of 20 lbs in the height category of 26 inches long...laymans terms: he is chubby and LONG! He is rolling over both ways and is still the king of bouncing. The girl is great as always. She is full of life and just amazing. We have kindergarten orientation tomorrow! Can you believe it....kindergarten!

Hold your horses the pics are coming! We have had incredible weekends as a family lately! Alan has been able to put work on the back burner and really devote time to us and it has been awesome! Our anniversary is coming up on May 12th and I am super excited. It has been the best year of my life in a long time thank to him!



Here are the last few and hopefully later I can post some pics a photographer took of Luke recently! Have to run take Ty to art class!

Its that time again....

Don't hold your breath...there are no pics today. I know I stink. It is honestly a big pain in the rumpus to download, shrink and upload to here. I promise there will be some cause I took some good ones lately!

Well today I took the plunge and I joined Flylady. It is this great thing to help you get your house in order and stay in order. I took the first test and I shined my kitchen sink. http://www.flylady.net/ It makes sense! It seems a bit daunting at first but it just makes sense!

I bought my hubbys anniversary gift today and I am proud of myself! I hope he likes it! Also BIG NEWS! Ty was the only little dancer at dance today awarded a stuffed bear because she knew the dance and did as she was asked! yay! Mommy was so excited! Luke was an interruption during dance as all the little ones wanted to come and play with him instead of dancing so we left during the last half.

Busy weekend coming up this weekend and a fun play date tomorrow! Well its late and I must bathe. Did i mention our showers are off limits till at least Friday! ugh we have to take baths. I hate baths and washing long hair. It just doesn't get clean! We are finalizing our warranty as we closed on this house a year ago today! AMAZING!
HUGS FROM LAZY PIC POSTER

just showing pics of the kids and some friends

Not much to say today....A few weeks back we had friends over and took some pics so I am going to post those and one of the kids. Here they are....

My Long time friend Sunni (we met when we were 12)

My friend LeeAnn (we met a long time ago through her husband who I met when I was 15 taking drivers ed. He was 19)

Me and my handsome hubby! I love this man! We were really having a great time this night! and we never get our pics made together so I was glad to have this one!



And the ones that keep me young!

Dance stunk!

Poor teacher and kiddos. She has zero control over the kids so today's recital prep seemed to be a waste of time. The kids are not at all prepared for what is ahead of them in May. I was really disappointed because the parent day that was held in December (with a different teacher) was GREAT. The kids had made major improvements from the year before but man they have either stayed the same or gotten worse since December. It makes me sad as I want Ty to really enjoy herself and have fun but it is so chaotic that she seems easily rattled.

Today she got hit in the eye and that totally made her switch flip and she completely checked out of dance and was pretty sad the rest of the time. she does have to take some ownership for her attitude but i partially don't blame her as I was aching to get out of dodge. I hope the show in May will be better. I called the dance school today and talked to the owner about my disappointment in what she was learning and how I felt i was wasting our money. I want her to do something active so like I said i am disappointed.

Today was a great day otherwise. Ty made yummo stuff at cooking today. They made spaghetti pie, candy pizza and dirty dog water (lemonade, with Limeade and sherbet). She really loved all three.

Well i am off to clean out the car as we have to take it to the car Dr tomorrow.
Hugs!

Tyism...

SO ty started taking art today and she was doing basic drawing with the art teacher and they were drawing animals. Tys turned out great i thought especially for her first time. i could really tell what they were etc. the teacher shows me a drawing of a fish and asked me if ty was dyslexic because she drew the face of the fish at the tail. i was like no she has no problem reading, writing etc. she said well i thought she might be because she drew this backwards. when we got in the car i said i noticed that you drew your fish backwards. did you mean to do that? ty said yes and i asked her why she said mom "I wanted him to swim the other direction" i thought that was pretty clever.

WIll post pics of her drawings tomorrow! oh and she has a dance recital parent day thingy!

I've been called out....AGAIN

Maybe I should have said I will post once a week. You can sign up to be e-mailed when I update.

This weekend was full of fun. Ty and I attended High School Musical on Ice. This girl was crazy dancing! You will love to see the video.
I have never uploaded video so I hope this works. you should be able to click on the pic and it should play. Let's cross our fingers. (video qouldnt up load!)

Luke stayed home with daddy and had a play date. He was a lil fussy for him but I think they both had a great time! Luke had a first yesterday! He ate baby rice cereal. The first feeding he could have cared less. The dinner feeding he thought was pretty yummy and today he didn't let a bite escape his mouth! Weighing in a whopping 19 lbs 11 oz. the kiddos doesn't miss a meal. check him and his fatness out below.

The other pics of him I am attaching are an outfit he got from his big sis Alexica when she was visiting us this summer. Hook Em Sissy!
