2009!!!!!!

Whats up my fellow blog readers?

Happy 2009 to ya all. It seems crazy it's 2009... i'm sure it will take me 6 months to click in my head. I looked back on my resolutions list from last year --- wow I really didn't do anything. This is what I wrote down...

Get In shape - okay okay I did maybe work out a few more times then the year before!

Keep up on Laundry - *cough*

Learn something new - hmmm... i learned a really good cookie recipe? does that count?


Get a new hobbie - if drinking wine and taking bubble baths count... sure!

Drink more water - I'm pretty sure i mastered that one! yah me!

Do more yard work - *cough* I have a hard enough time removing the holiday decorations outside. And I'm not taking xmas. I'm talking Halloween. My poor little scarecrow is frozen in the ground :( But hey at least I threw the pumpkins out right?

Say I love you more often - I think I have always said I love you more than normal people - I'm weird... but yes I love you too :)

Spend more time with the cats - I'm gonna say this is probably not true. Only because Frodo is always on my lap when I'm on the computer. But now I use my blackberry.

Concentrate on a finacial plan - I think did good on this.. yah me again!

Volunteer - gosh I feel horrible I didn't do much in that department in 2008 :(

Spend more quality time with my family - I was hoping they would all just move closer to us. We have piggly wigglys here. And I'm pretty sure Minnesota doesn't? ha beat that! Oh and no gravel roads!

Keep in touch with my family and friends - I feel like I don't see my friends enough. My closest friends know I love them and we try to keep in touch as much as possible. As far as my family I might be one of those annoying people who calls 2 much?

Read more - not so much

improve myself - I like to think I manged this one. But who am I to judge? ;)

So for 2009 obviously I put together some things I'd like to do - accomplish. But, I'm not telling you because well, frankly I don't want to admit when I don't do them. :o)

Love ya much!

We can see you..... looking for a new blog!

One soon! Pinky swear ;)

Hi!

Our little miss two year old! Crazy... she's not a little baby anymore!

Please comment if you read the blog... I'm not sure if anyone checks anymore?

.... yes we are still here!

Kierstin LOVES to help in the kitchen!

she also loves to watch football with her daddy!

I'm pretty sure I haven't blogged in awhile... and I'm not going to say I'll get better and blog more. Because... I say that all the time and I forget! :o) Just wanted to say we are still here! We have been trying to enjoy the fall weather before winter arrives (boo winter). We have been busy on the weekends and we are waiting for a weekend to come with no plans.... Our house is a mess and I think we need a maid. If I trip over one more toy I might just have a breakdown. Laundry has totally taken up all my spare time and I haven't even put a dent in it! Ugh... Oh well at least the sun is shining.

Kierstin has a few new obsessions.....

The Mall! Like mother like daughter I suppose! She always wants to go there.

Football - last night at bed time she was crying in her room for football - um okay? She thinks any time we are all watching TV together that it should be football.

Bugs... she doesn't like them. She thinks every piece of lint is a bug! She thinks they are going to bite her! I can't get her to take a bath because she thinks a bug will bite her.

Helping with anything... everything. Cooking, Cleaning... Besides picking up her toys...how fun is that right?

Rain and how it shouldn't be falling. Yesterday she started to freak out because the rain wouldn't get off the of the window. "Go AWAY... DOWN" she kept yelling!

Well I'd love to blog more... but the laundry is calling my name!

Pictures of our big girl

Kierstin in her big girl bed... she thinks she's pretty cool!

Mollie and Kierstin! Buddies forever!

I told her to smile pretty- LOL

Naughty by nature

A picture my sister took! I just love this one!

Kierstin doing her stinker face - usually means she's up to something!

Even has her big bird - partners in crime!

I just love this picture of kierstin!

A year ago... she's getting so big!

Obviously Kierstin is still keeping us busy! She seems to think she's the boss around here. Probably because she just got back from Grandma and Grandpas house... and got everything she wanted. She has quite the thing for my dad (all her grandpas really) and talks about them often. I guess she cried when my dad left for work in the morning. She doesn't even cry when Jamie leaves... it's hard work for him to even get a hug or kiss in the morning. The last time we seen my family we met them at Macdonald's - Kierstin seems to think Grandpa is still eating there. "grandpa eat... bye"

Hello Blog

Hello Blog -

Long time no talk... I have missed you! I noticed I hadn't blogged for awhile... okay, a LONG while! I figured it was about time.....

We have been pretty busy here. Seems like the Summer if flying by to quickly. It's sad to think it's already July? I'm not sure what happened to June?? Seriously... where did it go? There is SO many things I want to do this summer - and feel I'm running out of time!

Kierstin has been keeping us really on our toes. She has figured out how to open the doors and often makes a run for the outside world. She just mastered unlocking the sliding door and thinks she can go outside whenever she pleases. Don't get me wrong - I love going outside but not when it's pouring - or at night when the misquotes are out to eat you! Plus, it's been pretty hard getting her to stay in our yard. She knows the neighbors now-- and thinks she can go over there whenever she wants. Over the weekend the neighbor boy was in his swimming pool for the first time - so his parents were taking pictures and such (being his first time in the pool and all)... and Kierstin runs right over there - with her clothes on and sits right down in it. I'm really surpised her diaper didn't explode - I see why they make those swimming diapers now - her diaper was so big she could barely move! Needless to say - it was not the easiest to get her out of there!

Our 4th of July was nice - Jamies mom and step dad came here for the weekend. They took us out to eat at the Texas Roadhouse... YUMMY YUMMY (like kierstin would say)it was nice to see them - it had been awhile. Saturday was my birthday and we had some people over... Jamie brought the wii out on the deck. And I honestly don't know how the cops didn't come. Singing COME SAIL AWAY and BOHEMIAN RAPCITY at the top of your longs at 3:30 in the morning is probably not the best idea? It was fun though. Sunday was kinda rough though.

here are a few pictures...






Here is a few videos from my birthday party... If you have to pee... I suggest you go now! Jamie was SO funny!!!!.. he might just kill me for posting these... HEHEHEHEHEHE
