Winter news

We are getting so excited for Christmas. The kids and I have been listening to Christmas music since Thanksgiving. We got Matthew to put the lights on the house, and boy that was fun. Ha Ha So then the next week we went to the tree farm outside of town and got our tree. It was exciting for the kids to go pick out their tree and get to see it shaken to get the needles off. It got moved a half a dozen times that night. The kids weren't happy because they wanted to decorate it, but I told them the tree had to stay in one place first. It snowed alot the next day besides the fact that we I got to work the water was turned off because of a water leak a block over. So that killed our day when you have all perms and colors. To make up for the trip to work we decided to work on each other. Amy applied Tracie's color and then we went to Tracie's house for lunch and Amy gave me a perm. That was Tuesday and school was cancelled that day and Wednesday and Thursday So Megan didn't have any school that week.
Miss Megan had a birthday and party that Saturday. She was so excited for all of her gifts she had received. Mommy made a Tinkerbell cake and it didn't turn out to bad. She tells me she is looking forward to showing all her friends all her toys. We'll see. Later that evening mom got vocal and asked if I was pregnant, and yes I am. I wasn't going to say that night, but it happens. I am due the 31st of May, so that makes me 4 months today. I had a check up today everything is good but not for Megan.She had her 4 year old shots today and well got 4 of them:( She said her legs hurt, but she held them stiff when they poked her. This afternoon I got all of my wrapping done. Now I have to keep Matthew and the kids from shaking them and tearing them open.

Very exciting couple of months

This has been one exciting last couple of months. Michael is now 2 years old. He is growing so fast and quickly keeping up with sister. He is still a little feisty, but has his second set of molars coming in soon I hope. Megan started her first day of pre-school this year for 3 year olds on September 1st, 2009:( She didn't cry, but I did. She just got in line with all the other little tykes and walk into the school. She is really liking it and is always excited to go. She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays for half days. I wasn't sure how Michael would take to not having sis around, but I think he is OK with it. His favorite word to her is "NO!". "Michael can I play with your tractor?" "NO!" "Will you be the prince?" "Um NO!" It is so funny to watch. As you know I have a very adorable nephew, and I got baby-sit last Wednesday. He is such a good baby. Megan dotes on him every time we see him. He is growing fast. Brandon and Karla have taken to parenthood with ease. I hope to see you all soon.

Vegas/Chicago

At the end of July I went to Las Vegas with one of the owners of the salon that I work at. I was just overwhelmed with the busyness of the city. It took a little time to get used to the time change. The first night we went to see Mystere, Cirque De Soceil. It's a acrobatic show. It was awsome. I got to see John Paul Digoria, who together with his partner created Paul Mitchell Systems. The whole trip was a educational adventure. I learned about building buisness and coloring techniques. I had left Sunday for that trip and came home Wendseday at 2:00 in the morning. I worked from 12:30p.m. to 8:00p.m. I was home all day Thursday to play with the kids, wash clothes, and repack for my trip to Chicago. I left Friday morning on a train with a friend to Chicago for a wedding of another friend. The train was fun and hope to do it again someday. The only problem was trying to go to the bathroom;) The first night we went to see Jersey Boys the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. That was a wonderful show, lots of good music. The wedding on Saturday was very beautiful and we had a great time dancing. Sunday we saw the Sears Tower which is now called the Willis Tower. The skydeck was amazing. We could see out 50 miles. Then we went to the Hershey store, that was yummy! From there we walked down the Magnificent Mile. Then we almost missed our train by 2 minuets, Yikes! The adventures was an experience, but I was glad to be home! In this slide show are the pictures from both places I went.
