Another Funny Aubrey Story

Awhile ago we got Aubrey some shoes which were on sale at Wal-Mart. These shoes happen to have Tinkerbelle on them and came with pixie dust. I didn't look at it too closely, but it really was just glitter. Richard and I thought we had put it in a place she would never find it, but she can find anything that we don't want her to. So yesterday she decided to use some of it, on Mason. I think that she dumped a ton of it on him, because he sure did sparkle. She told me that she did it so that they could fly, like from Peter Pan. That right there in it's self was funny, but the story sure doesn't stop there. Later that night, Cookie our cat was out. I wasn't feeling so hot so I was lying down and not really noticing what she was doing. Poor Cookie was getting dusted with pixie dust so that she could fly too. The poor cat was covered head to toe. It was way too hard to get mad at Aubrey, she looked cute and innocent when she told us why she did it. All I can say is good thing she is so cute.

So cute

I had a doctors appointment yesterday, for the baby and I. Since Mason is sick I decided to take the kids with me , I hate being the parent that gets the other kids sick. It went a lot better than I thought it would. They were both still full of energy, but at least it was really quick. Aubrey was excited and keep telling the midwife that she has a baby sister, Mason wants a baby brother. Either way one might be happy. Aubrey was able to find the heart beat, with the little machine. She that it was fun. When we were all done Aubrey was a little disappointed, she thought that the doctor was going to take the baby out of my tummy, poor girl is in for a long wait.

Tried of it

I am sure you all are very tired of hearing that Mason and I are sick again, because I am tired of being sick. We both got our colds back and losing our voices. I lost mine last night and it kind of came back today. So if you are thinking of calling me, you might want to email me instead. I am just hoping that it will warm up here a little bit and we can get better. As for Aubrey and Richard you may ask, they both are fine. For some reason they don't get sick like we do. Here's hoping the next one doesn't get my immune system.

About time

Well I finally decided to join the YMCA here. I love the fact that I could work out at home, but it was getting hard to do with the kids. They both know how to unlock the front door now and I was also afraid that they might hurt themselves while I was running. Anyway I get to my real story, I have always wanted to try a Zumba class. For those of you who don't know what it is, you can find videos online showing what it is like. i have been to two classes, but have had fun. It is kind-of funny though, most of the people in the class are older, like 70's or 80's, and they can shake their hips better than I can. The first time I went the kids were in the kid care, Aubrey was waiting for me at the pick up area because she thought that I wasn't coming back to get her. Mason was more than ok with being there, it was like a whole new set of toys for him to enjoy.

Three is a Magic Number

I hope Mason is ready to be a middle child because as of July 21ish we are expecting to have another addition to the family. Today Jenell and I went into the Dr to get an ultrasound. So Happy Birthday Jenell you got to see you unborn child on your birthday and here's hoping that three is not the magic number that causes insanity.

Christmas

I know that i am late getting this on, I'm slow and don't have any pictures. Richard told me that I put them on the computer wrong and then told me how to do it, like I will remember that. But we didn't have too many pictures, because our camera was acting up. We started Christmas eve at home, making cookies and watching Christmas movies. I still wasn't feeling all that swell, so we really didn't do too much. The kids also opened their PJ's for the year night and went to bed around 9:00. The kids woke up to a ton of presents. I had bought some throughout the year and Richard went and bought a lot the day after Thanksgiving. That meant that some of the kids toys are now gone. Some of the toys they got for Christmas we decided to put up for the future, they can open them again some other year. Both kids had fun playing with their stuff the rest of the day and I spent the day cleaning, the kitchen and then deep cleaning the kids room. It was different for us not to have Christmas with any family this year, this is the first time that we haven't been at someones house. But all and all we had a good Christmas and are now working on getting everyone over their colds.

Another year

We had our 7 year anniversary on Sunday, to which I would love to say that we did something fun. But wouldn't you know it, I was sick. Mason and I have had a stomach flu, no fun at all. I spent all day Saturday in bed and the bathroom. Sunday I was trying to get anything to stay in me. The nice thing was the fact that Richard was able to be home those days to help me. He helped with the kids and even cooked, when I reminded him that the kids do need to eat too. Needless to say I still have a few things to get for Christmas, which might not be gotten this year, and I never did get to any of our friends gifts (sorry Tab!). I was going to make cookies with the kids, but who in the world wants to do that when they are sick. For now I am starting to feel better, but the kids say that they don't feel good. All I am hoping is that we are all well for Christmas.
