Pictures are figured out now!

YAY! I have finally figured out that you put the pictures on first and then you write. WOW, It took me about 5 years to learn that. Pretty sad!

That picture of Anna below in the blog post earlier CRACKS me up! She was just so tired...sweet thing. Ok, I will stop blogging tonight! I am jsut so excited that I figured some things out and am going to start doing this again. I don't do baby books, so this will be it!

The Avon Walk trail is about the start again!

Darn, she is so small! I love her though! Be on the lookout for my Avon walk letter and updates! Walk on....

Firsts for everyone!

Here is Anna on her first day of school. She was so excited she couldn't even stand herself. We had fun walking up to school together!
Here he is! Ready to start school! He too was so excited. I love that he loves school. Let the games begin!

I need to try and get better at this!

I think that I am going to be more light hearted on here and keep tabs on what my children are up to! I would love for Scott and Anna to have documentation about what their life was like as kids! Sooo, here I go again!

Scott started Kindergarten a few weeks ago and it is a HUGE hit! He gets up every morning and say "YAY! I GET TO GO TO KINDERGARTEN TODAY!" Who knows how long it will last but I think it is awesome!

Anna is just loving preschool. She practically runs to school and it is really cute. I love our neighborhood because we all walk to school for both kids. It feels like we are on Leave It To Beaver!

Today, Anna did not nap and it was a terrible ending to a pretty good day. This is pretty much what it looked like. Too bad Dave was gone tonight and I was on my own dealing with this. I am sorry that the picture is at the top of this post. I am still trying to figure the picture situation out. I want them to be under where I am writing about them but they never go there. I am going to do another post and try! Enjoy the Anna pictures up ahead. She was in a steller mood today. I hope she naps tomorrow!

Nothing new to share really...

Things are the same here except for the fact that I do not have to drive all day like I use to! Scott and Anna are out of school for the summer. I am so excited to have freedom to do what we want. We ran around like mad over the past 9 months and I am ready to be settled! I love being home in the mornings and not rushing around. I do get to the gym later, but that is alright.

I am starting Operation Beach Trip! Dave and I are going to our yearly beach trip with my family in July and we want to look awesome. So we are kicking it into higher gear. For some reason, we had a ton of desserts around our house lately. Those are now gone and we are getting back on track. We are really trying to not eat after 8. That is where the bulk of my bad calories tend to come from. I put the kids down for bed and make yummy dessert. If we can keep that in control and continue to workout then we are golden. I have some inches to get rid of. My weight is fine it is the fat around the muscles that drives me batty!

Anyway, that is about all for now.

Oh, Scott is finished with Preschool and officially an Elementary School kid! YAY!

I am such a blogger these days...yay me!

I just wanted to update. Anna is actually sleeping! She is taking a nap and is doing great. The pacies are officially behind us. I love how my girl adapts so well. She is tough as nails! I think reflux babies are just solid when it comes to adapting etc. At least, my little one is. She is so cool. She does drive me nuts but dang if she isn't the sweetest funniest thing ever. Last week, she had the throw ups. She would literally puke forever and then go back to playing. She is just so tough. She never cried even though she threw up all day. That is the kind of girl I want! I really need to go and buy the hockey and lax sticks! Start training now! : )

Scott, on the other hand, is a big ole wendy whiner! Man, it drives me nuts! I think that four year olds lose their ability to use proper verbage..it is more "mooooom, she woooont let me seeeee the T V..sniff ...sniff!" I am like OMG! Figure it out! You are almost FIVE YEARS OLD!

Ok, off to enjoy the quiet house! yipppeeeee!

Pacies be gone!

Well, we are on night 2 with no pacies. Last night Anna took about 2 1/2 hours to go to sleep and Dave ended up sleeping in there. She did finally do it but it took some coaxing. I questioned myself a little bit about if this was the right thing but I really feel like it is time. Her teeth are soooo messed up from them and I wanted to nip it in the bud because it got really really bad. It is something that I have been dreading and I am so glad I am in night two of this! Anna did not nap today which sucked but she went done awesomely tonight! Sooo, that is a big step! I am proud of her. She is a cool kid. When we moved her from the crib to the big girl bed, she fought it for about 2 days and then settled right back into her routine. I hope the same thing happends here. She drives me nuts but she is cool!

Today we were reading some books and she started pointing out letters! It was so cute. "look mommy, there is an M." I did not think that she cared about that stuff at all and she totally has taken in some of it! YAY! I think that she is just the cutest crazies thing there is.

Below are our updates..this was just a short one!
