A Good Break for Me

I'm joining the rec center! WOOHOO!!! I get 2 hours of free babysitting a day to go workout. Can we say a break for mom. I'm siked. I probably won't be able to go everyday, but hopefully a good 2 or 3 times a week. I'm so excited. It's very rare I get alone a time, let alone time for me. I can get back in shape and have energy again. WOOHOO!! Anyway, just had to share the excitnig news.

New video

Okay, I changed the video bar. This dance was really good, it's a story of a man being deployed to Iraq and he's telling the love of his life he has to go, she's so devestated she feels as though she can't breath. It made me think of my brother and his wife, Kelly kept saying she felt like she couldn't breath she missed him so much. I can't imagine going through something like that. Hey April you'll love this. I'll be sharing more of my favorites, becaause if you know me you know I LOVE dance.By the way, click on the third box its more clear than the others.

Happy Birthday Kalin!!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous!! We love you!!

Today my beautiful little girl is 2. I can't believe, she is growing up so fast. It seems like yesterday she was a little bitty newborn. My mom bought her this adorable dress and we took her to get her pictures taken. She was excited for about 2 min, and then didn't want to do it anymore. These are the two poses we picked. She looks absolutely beautiful! Here's a few things about her a lot of people don't know. She's a neat freak. If something is out of place she will put it back or nag me until I do. Finally a kid that cares about the order of this home! LOL! She loves to help, she knows where everything goes and will do it if you let her. She's super bosy, she's constantly telling everybody what to do. Funny thing is they litsen. For instance we took Mario to the eye doctor and Maya was up walking around, Kalin was sitting politely in her chair, she looks up at Maya and says very sternly,"sit down Maya, right now." HA!HA! Maya did it to. She'll make a good moma one day, she'll have those kids in line. She also loves Elijah like crazy, she makes him case her at least once a day. Anyway, I'm sure I could go on, but I won't. She's awsome and I'm amazed by her a lot of days. It's funny how when I look back I remember thinking o, my gosh another baby, and then God drops this beautiful blessing on us and then you think what was I so worried about. God knows the plans he has their always good!

Kalin is getting shots

Here we go, my baby is going in to get shots tomorrow. We had decided we weren't completely against vaccines, we were just against giving them to her at such a young age. Their liver is not completely developed to filter out toxins until their 6 months of age. I've been doing a lot of reading on this matter and see a huge difference when parents just wait a little while. I read this article on China , they have chosen not vaccinate until 2 years of age and their sids is almost nonexistant now. Makes you think. Now don't take me wrong I'm not one of those do it my way parents. If you've decided to vaccinate since birth, than thats your choice for your family, and I don't look at anyone different. Every family does what they feel is right for their family, in all areas, whether it be what they eat, what they do, or shots, we're all loving parents taking care of our children the best way we know how. Anyway, since I don't have my kids in daycare and had breastfed her for a year and a half, I felt confident about waiting. We were blessed she's been really healthy. The worst thing she had was roto virus. When I took her to the hospital to get hydrated, the doctor was really supportive and sweet. So, she's turning two on Wed, and her appt. is tomorrow. I'm nervous. I don't really know why, we have vaccinated all of our other kids, and their okay, I guess it's because I never waited this long. I'm sure she'll be fine, but I'm still a little nervous. On another note my mom is taking her to get her picture taken in a princess dress for her birthday. I can't wait to see it! Well I geuss thats it for now, just wanted to share whats going on.

Happy Birthday Ian!!

My Ian is 5 years old today. Wow, he is oficially a big kid. He was so proud to turn five today, he hopes to loose a tooth at some point this year. We're probably going to take him to ChuchECheeses to play, thats what he's requested.Ian's the one in the green shirt. He's such a character. He's really smart and loves to use big words when he talks. He's also very funny, he can make up a joke and make you laugh really hard. He's an awsome kid, I feel very lucky that God chose me to be his mother.

You tube Video

I was trying to share a dance I really liked and it put it on my side bar, so I'll leave it there for now and change it later. I loved this dance, they played out the story so well. I hope you like it.

The Frog May Need Prozac

Okay, not really, but I had to do that because it was funny! LOL! Anyway, I briefly mentioned Freddy was all depressed, so we went to Petsmart and bought another frog, Tad. We also bought a ton of crickets so I don't have to go back for at least 3 days. When we got home and put Tad in his new home with Freddy, Freddy instantly came out of his cocoa hut. He who I'm starting to think is a she was super happy. He started hopping around, and ate his crickets that I had put in there 6 hours ago. Mentioning crickets, Mario's all creeped out about toching the crickets to feed them. One jumped on his arm and he screamed and ran off! LOL!! So, we're figuring out another way for him to do this. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot they sound like puppies, they have this light little bark, apparently thats the sound the males make when they want to mate. So, here's the best part Tad keeps climbing on Freddy's back, the kids are like, look Freddy's giving him a piggyback ride! Yea, I don't think it's that kind of ride! HA!HA! Well, I'm not telling them, they can believe what they want. Maybe oneday there will be tadpoles. You never know.
