Work

Today when we pulled into the parking lot of my work (Steve and I carpool with the kids...they drop me off, he drops them off and then goes to work...then reverse order to go home), Kayleigh said she wanted to come to work with me. I asked what she was going to do..."Hand out stickers!" :)

Growing up

So a month or so ago, I asked Kayleigh..."What do you want to do when you grow up!"  And she quickly returned with "Doctor" and her reasoning is because they fix everything :)  The doctor is always who to call when you need something fixed around here :)

So the other day I asked her what Jacob was going to be when he was older.  Her quick response was "Bigger!"

QUICK POST

Sorry for the absence...apparently once I was done with school I never want to get back on the computer :(

Here's a family photo from Erin Kongshaug Photography photo shoot the other day:

Tomorrow...

My boss is kind enough to tell me in advance when I'll be having to leave work early due to lack of patients. Tomorrow is one of those days so I'll be taking my own car into work. Otherwise, Steve drops me off, then the kids off then goes to work. Then only one car is out, saving gas, and leaving less of a carbon footprint (is that the right term?).

So, tomorrow I'll be able to run a few errands that I would like to do without anyone with me :)  YEA!!! 

Happenings

On the day off we had so much fun!!  Except Kayleigh kept running away from us!  Her and Brody are probably the closest (probably due to age), but they have so much fun together! 

Kayleigh even went thru the play area of McDonalds (this was her first time) and she was very nervous.  She was so proud when she accomplished an area :)

Day off...

Today is my day off!!!  And...it's going to be close to 70 degrees!!!  AND...Grandma Onn and Brody are coming up for Brody's birthday shopping day!!!  AND...Kayleigh, Jakey and I are going with!!!!!!!!!!! 

It's been so long since I've been out shopping :)  Still tight on the money because paying off student loans are in effect, but still, just being out and about will be great!!!  Plus, if we go to Younkers I still have the Radiologist's Christmas present/gift card is still available :)

Hopefully this will be a great day off and the kiddos will behave!! 

Kayleigh will, because as she tells me "Brody's my buddy!"  They always give each other hugs when they see each other. Plus they hold hands when they are walking somewhere :)

Jakey...he's going through a definite growth spurt. Sunday he ate every TWO hours, about 5-6 ounces at a time!!!  Not sure this mama can keep up the supply!!!!  Plus, I just put away another big group of clothing he doesn't fit in!  He's skinny, but long.  However, last night I noticed his cheeks are getting really chubby!!! 

Here's a recent pic (January, but still the most recent).  Now I understand why the third kid has so few pics...especially since I'm not sure how the second one gets any.  Kayleigh had so many!

Taking a poll from my readers

Okay...I'm tossing some things up in the air here about graduation. 

Should I walk at commencement or not?

Here's my reasoning...and I would like to know what you all think...if not on here in an email.

Walk:
Maybe this can be a closing of a chapter.
Pride...this was hard and I did it!

Not:
I did this all online...only met Dr Stebbins (the director of the program) in real life
Do I really need recognition amongst all those people that I don't know?

Okay...what do you all think...and do you have any input?

Pics

We finally decided on Erin Kongshaug Photography to do Jacob's 3mo photos!  Erin is one of our neighbor's from growing up. Now she lives not too far from us.  She does great work!  We are hoping to get some outside shots, so we are going to wait til next week; it sounds like it's going to be a ton nicer than this weekend.

Hopefully the kiddos will cooperate!  She's more of a "catching a moment" type of photographer instead of a "pose the crew" photographer!  I'm hoping we can get some great shots :) 

I'm excited to get some new pics to post at work (I still have Kayleigh's early months in frames there...that is so sad)

Can't wait to show you all some :)

OOPs..sorry!

Today we finally got to have a good date night/Valentine's day dinner (since we forgot the gift card the last time).

But first we had to stop by the Urgent Care to have Steve looked at.  He's been coughing up a lung for...well since Feb 18th. I kept telling him to suck it up!  Not to think sick!  Well...with both kiddos sick and he being the guy who is in daycare (picking up and dropping off); he's been around TOO many sick kids.  Plus his work has a TON of sick employees (seriously people...stay home...just one day to try and get better and less contagious!!). He has bronchitis.  Sorry honey, you are really sick!  He is now on and antibiotic, steroids and cough medicine with codeine! 

Then we went to Olive Garden!  YUMMY...we even split a Turimasu (spelling?) and I had an alcoholic coffee (probably won't get that again!)

After that we went to GhostRider2!  Not too bad!  My first 3D movie in the Theatre.  I know...pretty sad, huh!  I'm not that impressed with 3D and HATE that it makes the movies cost so much!  DUMB!

Now...trying to get the kiddos to bed!  I'm pooped!

Tornadoes

I feel bad for those who are going through these tornadoes once again! 

However, how the heck does my house look like that and there hasn't been a tornado!?! 

OH YEAH!  This little girl named Kayleigh :) 

She is getting better about putting away her toys, but she definitely could do better.  Then I also remember that she is just over two years old. She'll get better as she gets older :) 

Sometimes I think, since she acts so mature, that we forget, she's still a LITTLE girl :) 

WE LOVE HER!!! (and I bet those of you who are reading this do too :) )
