A Day in the Life of Me

Sorry, it has been a few days since the last update. Life gets busy. Here are some of my favorite pictures from last weekend at the beach. I couldn't get any of Karleigh except for when she was swimming, that girl is a little fish. Shealyn is trying to swim too! It is so cute. We need to get her a floaty like Karleigh has because she would do really well with it. The beach that we go to has a sand bar that comes out most days. So the rocks behind Shealyn is where the sand bar stops. The sand bar goes out really far. I'm not sure if you will be able to see it in the pictures though. I hope you enjoy them, I know I do!! lol


Swim Baby!!

Beautiful Pose



Woah!
Shealyn the bird is behind you. :)





Karleigh laying on her back.






Smile!!

So I had to hop on here real quick and tell this cute little story.

Karleigh is always telling on her sister. I was putting a load in the wash and walked in the girls room to put away their clothes that just came out of the driver. When Karleigh approaches me, very upset. She said "Mommy, sis spanked the baby's butt!". I said "really?" I walk into the living room and asked Shea if she did. She looked at me (baby in hand) and said "Spank bad baby" and spanked it and ran over to the corner (where they go when they are bad) and slams that poor little baby doll into the corner. She stood there holding her in the corner and proceeds to do this about three more times all the while Karleigh is tattling "Mommy, sis spanked the baby's butt!!". Shealyn is now disciplining her baby dolls, so funny and so cute.

I have things to work on as a person. Everyone does.

Please, if you are my friend and there is something that I say or do that bothers you, tell me. If I do something I would much rather know at the time so I can address the issue and work on it and try harder to not be that way or do it again. I won't know there is something wrong unless I am told.

What I expect from friends is a completely open and honest relationship. That is how Nathan and my relationship is and I expect it to be the same way with my true friends. I will tell a friend if something that they did bothered me, so I expect the same.

So if you are a friend or a future friend, keep this in mind. Let me know what is on your mind, if we are true friends we will be able to work through it together.

Yay! The big day is here. Shealyn is now officially two (well at 8:19 pm tonight). Karleigh will be 3 on Monday at 9:18 am (isn't that cool how the time is switched??!). The girls are super excited for their birthday party that is at 4 today. I have someone coming to take pictures for me, she is a wonderful woman who I have known since I first started going to school. We actually just bought a car from her as well. Thanks Anne Marie!

Karleigh all day yesterday and today has been talking about her birthday party. She wants to break open the pinata and eat lots of cake and play with her friends. Shealyn isn't quite there yet with understanding fully what is going on, but she sees that Karleigh is very excited so she is excited too because of that. I wish that some of my friends could come to the party but they are out of town (miss ya Lori!). Gosh, I keep getting more excited for my girls birthday party. I hope things go well. Nathan is shopping for the food now. He is excited to make sandwitches and what not for the party.

Well I should go and finish up the dishes. 4 1/2 hours to go!

I had a long day today. I went to open lab for glassblowing from about 1:30 until 5:30. It was really hot in there. I got 3 pieces made, but only 1 of them I can use for my final. So far I have 2 pieces made that I am pleased with, now I have 3 more to go for my final. I need to get an A in this class. I am an A student! I can't get a B. grrrr We get to work with some color tommorow, I am excited. :)

Angie watched the girls for me today. They had a lot of fun and told me all about it when we got home. They were worn out. That is a good sign of things to come because Angie is going to watch them on Thursdays for me! Whoo hoo! I have all the sitters I need for my fall semester. Things are almost all lined up and ready to go.

We are going to the beach tomorrow if it is a nice day. I hope it is nice and not to exhausting.

I miss Nathan. He is working so hard for this family. I can't wait until he doesn't have to work two jobs anymore. We need to get bills paid off so we can get into a house! That is our goal. We hope the housing market is going to be good for us when we can finally afford to buy a home. That is going to be so wonderful, to actually own a home and know it is ours and we can do what we want with it. It will really feel like home. I don't feel like home where we are living. I just won't be able to feel at home until we have a home of our own.

The girls birthday is this weekend. Oh crap, I just remembered I need to order a cake! Anywho, they are excited and I am excited for them. I can't wait for the party because they always have so much fun at birthday parties, especially their own. They have been playing so well together lately. Their imaginations are growing so much. They love to pretend things. They look out for each other too which is so wonderful. I love to see my girls interact, I can just sit there on the floor watching them all day if I could. Just seeing the wheels turning in both of their heads is just so amazing to me. They talk so much in general and to each other. I just love little voices. So sweet.

Well, Nathan should be home soon (I hope). Love and hugs!

This video was taken Sunday when we were at the beach. Karleigh had so much fun swimming. She does such a great job!!

This is Karleigh swimming at the beach for the very first time. She LOVES it!



I've got more videos that I will post later. :)

My dear daughter Shealyn is always taking her diaper off now. She is very interested in the potty and tells me sometimes when she needs to poop or pee. She just needs to learn how to control her potty urges. It is so funny how interested she is already. She will be two on saturday! (holy cow) She loves to flush the potty. Anytime Karleigh goes poopy Karleigh runs to me or yells for me to come look at it (Karleigh is very proud of her movements!) but about 95% of the time I cannot get there fast enough because Shealyn flushes it down. Poor Karleigh, she gets sad everytime. Last time she went "Auwww" with this little pouty look on her face. I wish that was the only thing that I had to be sad about, someone else flushing for me. lol

I am about to attempt to upload some videos for the blog. I have a couple really cute ones. You will just have to wait to see what they are. Wish me luck!

I love my family. I love Nathan. We all went to the beach today. The girls made a little friend. Her name was Olivia and she was a month younger than Karleigh, and boy is she a little talker. Kids voices are so cute. We had a ton of fun swiming in the water and digging holes. My knees are still really red from sitting on them in the sand.

We are still dog sitting. I haven't heard anything from the owner and she was supposed to pick him up today. hhhmmm The girls really like him.

The girls birthdays are next week. It is really hard to belive that they are turning 2 and 3. Holy smokes my youngins are growing up fast. School is almost over. I hardly feel like I have been in the class for 3 weeks. But only 3 more classes to go. I start up again towards the end of August. I have been very lucky to find two great ladies who will watch the girls for me on tuesdays and thursdays. Geez, summer is going to be over before we know it. It hardly feels like it has started. Life goes by too fast. Way too fast.

I miss my friends. It seems everyone went out of town at the same exact time. Poo poo heads.

Not much else to say. I have so much in my head that it is all coming out in a jumble of confusion anyway. I think I'm going to go have a drink.

peace
