Vika's Birthday Party

Better late than never, right? Vika had so much fun at her birthday party!! We had my family over for a BBQ. Vika loved having everyone here and she especially loved opening all her presents, she really got spoiled. We enjoyed pink and white cupcakes, and Vika's favorite part singing Happy Birthday. We then played Band Hero!!! It was such a fun night!!!

Vika was just pulling things out as fast as she could!!! It was really funny!

She would give people a big hug and Thank you after she opened their present!!!

This cape was actually from Conner, but she loved wearing it and she loves her aunt Deb!!!

She kept pulling the funniest faces every time I took her picture! Notice her cute new slippers (from Mom and Dad)!!!!

Thank you everyone that was able to come!!! Vika loved every minute of her party, and she still says Thanks for her presents!!!

Conner's Preschool Graduation

Just FYI for anyone interested in coming Conner's Preschool Graduation Celebration will be on May 19 at 10:45am. If you would like to come let me know and I can let you know where it will be!!!

Happy Birthday Vika!!

This is Vika saying "cheese" before her birthday breakfast!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this little girl! She is getting so big, and I don't mean her size. She is still very petite and small, but she has a very big personality! She has a huge vocabulary and she knows her colors! She really wants to do everything her brother does, even if she really is too small.

She absolutely loves nursery and begs almost every day to go!! Its really cute! She loves to sing and dance! And she also loves to watch all of Conner's boy shows!! I love that she likes to be girly and she doesn't mind a little dirt!

She is my little buddy when Conner is in preschool. We go to lunch and go shopping, and have so much fun together! I love her so much and honestly I am so blessed to have her as my daughter!

Silly Kids

2 sick kids watching a movie trying to feel better! :(

Both kids were sick the last 2 weeks in March. They both were so sad. There a few days Conner felt ok and so he would ask if we could go somewhere, and would have to tell him no. He was so sad to miss preschool.

This video is of the kids playing at the bottom of the stairs. They were making each other laugh.

Finally, the last week or so they have been their normal happy, fighting selves. It has been nice to have them feeling good. I just hope that I am not jinxing myself by posting this.

A Much Happier Me

The last few weeks I have been trying to go running as often as I can. My husband has been great, and very supportive. He will get home from work and let me leave for a little bit. I started out really bad and out of shape. My first run was really bad, I couldn't even run through 1 whole song. Now, I am so happy to say that I am able to run through 4 whole songs. I keep upping the number and feel great every time I do.

I have been so much happier since I started running. I am able to be more patient with my kids, and thats saying A LOT!! Just ask my husband he will tell you that I am not the most patient person and I was yelling at my kids non-stop for very stupid reasons. I am so glad that most of that is behind me, I still have some work in that area. Running is seriously my highlight for the day. I feel great when I am out, and when I get home and can feel the burn. It makes me feel like I accomplished something.

I have been more motivated to clean my house, its still not very clean but its much better. I can sleep a lot better at night! All-in-all I just feel so much happier!! I really hope I can keep this up!! I am so glad its warming up because I hate the bitter cold, its not good for my throat.

I am also happy to report that Dave has been able to get back to the gym!! If only he could get up early enough to get in a good workout before work. About 3 weeks ago he stopped going because I was in a car accident, and so I needed his car. As of Saturday we have a brand new car that is exactly what I wanted! Dave has been going to the gym again ALL this week, and I am so proud of him!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

We enjoyed a glass of green milk! Conner was afraid to try it at first, but when he saw that Vika was drinking he finally tried it and loved it!!!
