Oops!

So much for that goal! Epic Fail!!

The holidays were crazy and fun. The kids really enjoyed themselves and we all spent a lot of time with family and friends. Lex recently got to talk to his Uncle Eric who is currently deployed. Of course, I had no idea how to get the webcam to work with Skype, so we could see him, but he couldn't see us.

Lex is getting so big. He is loving school and learning so much. He is getting better at writing his name and identifying letters as he sees them. He is starting to sound out some small words as well. He loves to play MarioKart on the Wii and is very good at it. He enjoys playing with cars and Transformers.

Eva is starting to talk more. She is saying please, thank you, Dora, Bell (for Tinkerbell... she is obsessed), kitty and lots more. She knows some animal sounds and loves to immitate a monkey. She loves to dance and dress up with her mardi gras beads and fairie costumes.

That is life in our house right: crazy, hectic, and tons of fun.

And Life Got Away With Me...

Ok, it has been awhile since I've updated this blog, and I'm sorry. I can't promise this blog won't be forgotten again, but I promise to try and update at least once a month.

Well, Tuesdays are not terrible anymore, those two were flukes.

Eve has been attempting potty-training. She is obsessed with the picture of Dora on her Easy-Ups and that has helped fuel her along. Her first day, she only had two accidents. Of course, her excitement has died down a bit, so we are taking a break. We may try again within a week. She still doesn't say much, but oh boy! You should see the expressions this little girl has! She says, 'Mama', 'Mom mom', 'Dada', 'Buba (Brother)', 'Uh huh', and 'Dora'... she has said 'Jeff' and 'Yeah' a couple of times as well. I'm just waiting for the day she starts talking... it'll probably come out in sentences.

Lex started HeadStart last Monday and he really enjoys it. He doesn't really like the walk to his school, but once he is there, he enjoys it. He says that he made a new friend, Kodah. He is getting so big, last night he stood in front of me and said, "Mommy, I'm just getting so big! I keep growing everyday. Soon, I'll be as big as daddy!" It's sad because it is true. I wish I could freeze his growth for awhile and just keep him little a while longer.

Jason is still working with Christopher & Banks. He is looking for a security job and is looking to start school next semester.

Me, I've been filling the quiet portions of my day with writing. I have a novel in my head I need to get down on paper... or in the computer, rather. You can follow my journey here.

And that's all I've got for now.
