Hello Tumblr’s…

It’s been a while but I’m back, well for the time being. Between work, school, and being a mother and a wife I had no time for anyhting else. I have a few weeks off from school. Boy was this last semester demanding! But I got straight A’s! The kids are doing great and we all had a wonderful Christmas. I will post pictures of everyone soon, so stay tuned! I’ve missed you all! It’s going to take me a while to go through and read everyones blogs, so if you have anything exctiting to share please do :)

Everynight we have a routine we brush our teeth, lay down in bed, read a book, say our goodnights and I loves yous. Tonight as I was almost done with the book Ryder sat up squished my cheeks together gave a big kiss and said “I wuv you mama” ^_^ this is the first time he said on his own. Normally it’s in response to us saying it first or telling him to say it. Gosh I love this little boy!

YAY…normally we cannot take any vacation time during summer months, but we are overstaffed at job#1 and I had the opportunity to take some vacation time in 2 weeks, so we are going to go camping over labor day weekend :) I’m so excited, we haven’t been camping in 3 years! Gonna go and get new camping gear tonight. This is going to be so fun I can’t wait!

Ryder and Jaebrielle just got into their first full fledged fight. I’m talking screaming back and forth, hitting, and crying. It all started because Jaebrielle was trying to climb onto the table Ryder told her “no” very sternly while pointing his finger towards her. Jaebrielle then proceeded to hit Ryder’s hand while letting out a loud shriek that’s when all hell broke lose. Gosh they are too young to be fighting like this.. Agh I thought I had till they were at lest 3 and 5 before the brawls happened.

Back in high school, having the most friends was such a good thing. You always had people to call up to do things. You always had someone to eat lunch with. There was always someone who is down for you no matter what. 

When I graduated high school, all of that changed. People grew up. We all went different ways. Some people had babies. Some went off to school. Some got married. Everyone just went off in their own directions. & I am fine with that.

I now realized that I don’t need all of those friends. Yes they were and still are people I would say hi to if I seen them when we were out. But do I miss them? Not as much as I thought I would. I have very few people who I still talk to on a regular basis. Regular basis meaning a few times every month. But when we do talk, it seems like we haven’t missed a day in each other’s lives. Those are the friends who I cherish the most. The ones who I can trust. Sometimes it’s the few friends in your life that have the biggest impact. I know mines do. 

I am the same way. I have a handful of great friends we rarely talk/see each other, but when we do it’s as if we talk everyday. To me that is what a real friendship is. I have many acquaintances and if it’s more then a simple “hello, how are you?” it always ends up in an awkward conversation.

Ryder

• potty trained last week and he did it in 2 days!!!
• knows his ABC’s can count to 10
• knows shapes and colors (basic of course)
• got a big boy haircut :)
• speaks in sentences
• rides a scooter, and bike with no training wheels 
• says thank you, your welcome, and I’m sorry
• cleans up
• very helpful with his sister.

Some of these things may seem ordinary to some parents, but Ryder is a very stubborn child and refuses to do a lot of things. His whole attitude is changing and he is absorbing everything we teach him. He amazes me more and more each day! cant believe he will be 3 in December!!

Jaebrielle

• has all her teeth but her 2 year molars and one eye tooth on the bottom. It has been at the surface for almost a month now but has not broke through. (is this ok?)
• feeds herself
• dances to any beat, even to commercials!
• says mama, dada, ryder, rocky, hi, bye, and hello. She tries to talk sentences but they sound like this “hi, ma ba da ku ra ra AHHHHHHHHHHH!”
• her hair is finally getting longer :) but it looks wild when it’s not in a ponytail!
• climbs everything! omg She is so small that she can squeeze past and under things that Ryder never could, so baby proofing has been brought to a whole new level.
• she is never full! this girl can eat. It amazes me she will finish her own meal and then walk up to you and ask for some of your food! yet she is only 22 pounds?!?
• she is a DADDY’S GIRL to the fullest extreme!

Gosh she is just growing way to fast. Her personality is so fun and cute but she is also just as stubborn as her brother (yikes)!

My feelings towards tumblr are not the same. I never have the urge to come on and post anything, and when I find myself coming on I start a post and end up deleting it. I look at a few posts only to see reblog after reblog or just drama, so I end up logging off without going through my dash. All my favorite ladies barely post now. Today I went around and checked out new blogs and found some new mama’s to follow. I hope this will get me back into the blogging mood.

I have met A LOT of amazing people here. It may be weird to think that we don’t really know one another in real life yet we know each other a lot better then those who see us everyday. I feel a special bond with a lot of you. Thank you for all that you wonderful ladies have said and done for me, it really means a lot.
