Mothers Day

Today is my 5th mothers day being a mom. So far this day has been not the best...insomnia, stupid insurance companies, migraines, and retarded waiters have made my day less then ideal. However, that does not change the fact that I love being a mom and that usually mothers day is my favorite day of the year. It is a great day where I can sit back, let Chris do all the work and simply enjoy my family. It still amazes me that there were no people there and now there are. Two amazing kids who are making me more and more of the person that I want to be. Motherhood is by far the hardest thing I have ever done-it has challenged me in how I think of every part of my life and pushed me to know what I believe, why I make the choices I do, and what kind of role model I want to be for my kids. This year has been especially difficult as I cannot be the person I want to be all the time. It amazes me how not feeling well changes everything in your life. However, through this me and my kids have learned to take it easier, to not stress about the small things and to just relax and take care of each other. Hopefully this next year (and even the rest of this day) will be better and me and my kids will learn that my love for them will not ever dwindle even if the way I have to show it changes.

Well another resolution that is not happening

Well as any of you that are still paying attention have realized, I have not been keeping up on my blog. I found that we were just taking a bunch of the same pictures and not too many things that had meaning. I also just got lazy. So.....I will be keeping the blog but not posting pics everyday. So since we went to disnyland things have been busy but good. On my health front not much has changed. They still don't know what is going on and have been trying some different meds but they have not helped and I have been having some bad side effects so I am stopping those. We will see what happens with this doctor as I have one more test and then a follow up appointment, have that though I think we will just be in the maintance stage and learn how to deal with this better. So we are moving on....and that leads me to my big next step. I am taking CNA classes starting April 27th! It is a six week course, part time and it is one step I am taking to getting my RN. It has taken me a long time to fully commit that this is what I want to do, but I am sure now and we are moving ahead. It will be busy and I'm not sure what I am going to do schedule wise or job wise once I am in the RN program but that is further down the road than I am looking. I have my CNA classes then Human Anatomy this summer then Human Physiology and Elementary Chemisty this fall. Hopefully by that time I will have a job as a CNA and get some experience. I am really excited for this next phase. Please be praying that we are following God's path and that the kids adjust well to the upcomin changes.

For how much Lily hated the characters she loved meeting the princesses! Tinkerbelle was her favorite, but this was the best picture. We saw the Aladin show the day before so they were also excited to see Jasmine.

we got to eat in the restaurant that is in the "pirate of the Carribean" ride. It was really good and the kids did great.

March 4, 2010

We are in Disneyland!!!!!!!!! Had a great first day-the kids did really well on the plane and the trip was really easy for the most part. Lily was not a fan of the characters but they did great in the lines and did great even without any naps and waking up early.

The kids taking care of thier babies, making sure they got enough sleep and food. Its seems to be one of the things that the kids can play together without it ending in a fight.

Kids being crazy and having their own dance party.

I don;t really know what all this is about, but fun and sillyness before dinner.

February 23, 2010

We painted lily's fingernails and toenails for the first time today. It was so much fun and she did a great job waiting for them to dry and holding still. I can't wait until we can go have some professionals do it!

Chris being crazy with the kidlets. I can't believe how hard they play, makes me tired just looking at them.

February 21, 2010

Jackson playing the wii fit. He has gotten pretty good-he espcially loves the soccer one and getting hit in the head with cleats.

February 20, 2010

Chris took Jackson bowling today as Lily was sick. He got a 95 without a ramp, and Chris didn't do too badly either :)

February 19, 2010

Me and Chris went to the Billy Joel and Elton John concert and the kids stayed at Grandma's. They had thier first sleepover with thier cousins and had a great time as did we!

February 18, 2010

Ha ha! Jackson spelled this himself on the fridge, ah, the pride of motherhood. I think I am almost as immature as my kids if not more :)
