Brrrrr!

Brrrrrrrrr! It's so darn cold out! Another reason I want Summer to come.

So last night, Ella was snacking on some potato chips. She then became slightly agitated and said she had an owie on her tongue. When asked what happened to her tongue, she said "I fell down". Hmmm, you fell on your tongue, right. Finally, she admits that she and another boy named Ben stuck their tongues on a pole outside yesterday at school. Yep. A real live "Christmas Story" only she has never seen this movie. Should have had her watch that marathon while it was on. Live and learn right?

Ella and school. Reminds me of another school story that kind of irritates me. So last Friday, it was a school release day. I unfortunately had to work, so she was signed up to attend Kid's Place all day (her before and after school day care). They were going on a feild trip to see a movie. Sounds fun right? Well Friday night she tells me, "Mom, I like pop now!" Confused by this because we don't give her pop, I ask her when she had it. "the movie theater lady gave it to us, I drank it all, it's really good!" Thanks movie theatre lady. Thanks day care for not giving instruction for water only. The last thing Ella needs is caffine. Oh well, I guess not much you can do about it huh?

Today, I get to work and maybe ten minutes later I get a phone call from Taylor's school nurse. Poor thing doesn't feel good. So I unexpectedly had to leave work and now I sit at home. Taylor's sleeping and I should be doing some cleaning but yet here I am blogging. Better get something done!

Family, Dogs, Work, Eat, Sleep.

First blog, yay! So we decided this would be a fun way to keep everyone updated on our crazy, hectic and growing family. It's like getting a Christmas Letter from us every day! :)

4 things you to should know:

1. We are engaged! I do apologize for the "facebook" notification that most of you may have received. Whoops! New Years Eve, Justin (and Ella) proposed. It was very much a suprise and of of course I said "yes" duh. We are still trying to figure out exactly what we want to do as far as our Wedding is concerned because...

2. We are PREGNANT! Yes, it was a bit of a suprise but we can't be more excited to add to our family. As of now our due date is 8/1/2010 which seems like forever away. We will be having an elective c-section so the actual date will be scheduled in March, after we find out if Justin will have some testosterone joining our household or one more girly girl. He is fine with either, but I'm sure a little man would be enoyable as well. (Fingers crossed that the baby "shows" us.)

So I am in week 13 and have felt better. I am now entering my 2nd Trimester so I am hoping the nausea goes away. Poor Justin gets to listen to my morning battles with "what to wear" as my ever expanding belly takes over, yeah belly button, almost gone. Still Justin tells me everything looks good, meh... he's the BEST though and I don't know how I would survive without him! Oh hormones. :)

3. Taylor is enjoying 7th grade, alot (Miss Socialite of the Jr. High). She abosolutely loves it, now if we can only get her to enjoy her homework just as much... She is also still dancing. She has already had one competition which they took 1st place in which was great! 3 more competitions coming up. She also has been taking some Hip Hop classes which she thinks are great in addition to her Lyrical, Tap and Jazz already on her plate. This girl is busy, busy, busy. She also has a facebook page that she updates rather frequently, almost like Twitter. She's a great kid though really.

4. Ella is now at Aquila, enjoying Kindegarten. This week she told me that she helped her friend in school. Her friend couldn't see the board because they were sitting in the back, so Ella let her copy her paper, "that's what friend's are for right Mom?" she said to me. She is literally the funniest kid I have met. She keeps us laughing! Ella is also playing hockey which she loves! She originally didn't want a baby brother because "it would throw up all over the floor". But now, she is fine with either a baby girl or baby boy. She has also been coming up with some interesting names...

Well, that's all for now! First blog, done~
