Gymnastics!

Ok...so Friday I decided to do a free trial class at one of our gymnastics schools. It's a parent participation class for toddlers. I think my little one had more fun than she's ever had in her life. My hubby came at the beginning and snapped some picture. Oh my word...I cannot tell you what it was like except FUN FUN FUN! Mostly just watching my crazy and wild little girl just run and play and have fun! So we are joining and will be going every week. I can't think of anything better for her to get her exercise and learn....oh..it was just great!

So...I didn't tell you her stats from her 2 year doctor appt. She is 33 1/2 lbs and 34 1/2 inches...that puts her weight, well, off the chart and her height in the 75th percentile....Doctor said she is so healthy and smart. Duh...I knew that! hee hee

She cracks me up...she talks SOOOO much...she repeats EVERYTHING and copies EVERYTHING...she's talking in sentences some...sometimes I understand everyword and sometimes I think she's speaking Japanese or Russian or Sweedish...ha ha...she has such a sense of humor and knows she's funny. AND....we are almost positive she is left handed...she eats, colors and does everything predominantly with her left hand...she even kicks with her left foot.

Next time we go to gymnastics I will try to get my hubby to stay longer and take some more pics cuz this is priceless! It will be a week or so before we go back because this is their registration week and they are closed.

SO THERE YOU HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE LITTLE...SOON TO COME...AN UPDATE ON MY OLDEST!

Birthday party

Ok...so I started this post the other day and didn't finish cuz i couldn't get all the pics to upload. Now I was just thinking...why don't I at least post what I COULD upload! SHEESH! Where is my brain these days? Somewhere in Teletubbie Land I think!

All partied out (camera phone pic)

Oh well...

My little remedy didn't work.

She's not fussing though.

We figure they will work their way out.

Do you like my new profile pic?

I'm gonna take a better one because i think the sun is too bright behind me...but I really wanted to change it cuz my hair is brown again (it had washed out) and it's longer. I really like it when i fix it!

:-)
Later!

Random Fact of the Day

My baby has 3 small splinters in the bottom of her foot. (We went to my hubby's aunt's house yesterday and the little one ran around barefoot on a wooded deck...)

ANYWAY...
I attempted with a needle and got screams and just couldn't follow through. I found three other possible ways to get them out so I'm trying all three....

(1) Banana peel over the splinter for awhile (it says over night but since it's morning I'm figuring a few hours...
(2) baby oil or olive oil (i have baby oil gel)
(3) soaking in warm water

SO....I put the baby oil gel on...then covered with a ripe banana peel and put bandaids to hold them on. Then I put socks (mine) on her. After awhile...if she leaves them on and isn't complaining about pain I will give her a bath so her feet can soak in warm water...then I will see what they look like.

I'll let you know what happens....

Hmmm...what do you think?

New Stuff...

Random Family Fact

Random Family Fact

My oldest told me I should just post a random fact about us ever day....so here is the first installment...

My oldest balanced her laundry basket on her head tonite...

The little one wanted in on the fun too....

This is the type of thing we do for fun around my house....

2 Year Doctor Appointment

I asked..."Where is your boo boo?"...and this is what I got....

She got a shot...

She was fine...

But when I started calling it a "boo boo" she started really playing up the sympathy...

My drama queen!

Here's a couple more PITIFUL pictures of my poor kid! :-)

2nd Birthday

WHAT? My little one is how old?

Excuse me?

I guess I should share her birth story...I will...not tonite...maybe Sunday I'll type it up. I don't have it written down anywhere so what better place THAN HERE...with all of my closest friends!! :-)....but not tonite.

So Thursday was her 2nd birthday...the party is tomorrow.
Here is what we did on her birthday...we went to lunch with my mom. The people at my mom's office just love the little one and so I had to share her special day with them.

Here are some pics from the day...

First day of 7th Grade

Tuesday was the first day of seventh grade for my oldest daughter....WHAT? 7th grade? When did that happen...

Here we are when my husband and I got married....


(scanned from a picture in a broken frame FYI!)

Here she is Tuesday....


(INSERT BIG SIGH HERE....)
She's a cheerleader this year and she is working so hard!
She is growing up so fast but so beautifully! I'm so proud of her.

Holy Cow

Ok...so it's been awhile since I've posted...I apparently had fiddled with some of my security settings and couldn't figure out why I couldn't log into Blogger...i've sent emails...NOTHING...I've been so frustrated...then I decided today to log in on my daughter's computer and I was able to sign in NO PROBLEM...so I set my security settings back to default on my computer a VOILA! Here I am....

LOTS OF THINGS TO SHARE....
I will post when the baby...toddler...2 year old is napping...WAHHHHHHHH...she turned 2 yesterday....I can't believe it....

ANYWAY....

I'll post soon...I PROMISE! I hope I haven't lost all my friends by disappearing for so long!

Now that school is back in I hope to blog more now.

Until later!
