gemma and brecken are in maui with their dad and stepmom having an amazing time--gemma sends me emails and has called 2 or 3 times. They have gone to the ocean everyday, to a luau, and spent time with their cousins. I am so glad they had this opportunity to see hawaii but am a little sad it wasn't with me..
We will have our own experiences together I know....I am still bummed

laken got a new do

laken loves this wig--one afternoon he left it on for almost an hour--wth???

ta dah!! talk about posing

I bought this dress at old navy--sadie loves when I bring home new clothes for her--it is like christmas all over for her...

you are growing up so fast and before you get your drivers license I want to remember how you are right now. You are not a morning person--you really don't want anyone to talk to you or look at you until 9 am and after you've had your first cup of chocolate milk. when you talk you enunciate like no ones business--my babysitter thinks you might have hearing problems but i just know you want people to understand you. Dora is you absolutely fave and you are a huge tv addict--you love to stand right in front of the tv. sadie is your hero--but sometimes she is mean to you but you take up for yourself these days with high pitch screams that rock the house. (mommy will be glad when that phase passes)

You would be outside all day long if you could--riding your scooter, swinging on your stomach, spraying the hose, playing bat and ball, exploring......
you are three weeks away from your third birthday and have peed and pooped once in your elmo potty--daddy and I are thrilled..
you are such a mommy's boy and I love it. I want to remember your little boy smell and your cute feet with your large big toes...you skip when you run and your two favorite words are "I don't" you have excellent hair and daddy thinks this may get you somewhere in life:) You are such a blessing!!!

I finally figured out that I thrive off of having too many things to do...I always feel consumed and absolutely never have a moment of nothingness.....I want to blog but I have a huge microbiology test on monday that is going to eat me alive if I don't study. I popped on to say laken pooped in his elmo potty!!!!!!!! it was the first time he has ever even looked at his potty and it may be the last but I had to tell someone....

My favorite flower in the whole wide world. This tulip came up randomly all by itself in the back yard--I am torn between planting a ton of flowers and knowing we will probaly eventually moving back to bend so there is no point.....

laken loves my lab goggles

the easter bunny

the easter bunny was at the park during our easter egg hunt. Laken would have nothing to do with him and sadie barely wanted anything to do with him--at least he was a smaller bunny but his face still was enough to incite nightmares

laken finally took a haircut like a man:0

not really--he sat in dan's lap and emitted blood curdling screams while the woman cutting his hair moved like johnny depp in edward scissor hands. he kept yelling to the stylist--don't lady

anyway--one down...

there are easter eggs all over my house. we went to an easter egg hunt in central point at a park on saturday and the kids both got a zillion eggs. sadie is having an easter egg program and hunt at her school on thursday and I am supposed to be bringing in candy filled eggs==12 for her and 12 if laken is going to join in. I am currently trying to make the kids easter baskets. I am so easter egged out right now and I have yet to see easter!!!

yummy

mommy: Laken do you eat your boogers?

Laken: yeah

mommy: what do your boogers taste like?

Laken: boogers

I have the worst luck
okay I admit I am not the best driver--I speed, have been known to weave, and pretty much glide through stop signs.
tonight after class--I was deep in thought about cell structure--today's topic in lecture. No sooner had I pulled out of the campus and started my 30 mile drive home--I changed lanes to pass someone and pulled right out in front of a police car--either I didn't see her in my side mirrors or she came out of now where
needless to say I was pulled over and cited for not putting my blinker on 100 yards before I turn--and warned because I couldn't find my insurance card.
I still cannot bring myself to look at the ticket and see how much it is going to cost me.....
since moving to medford I have racked up quite a few tickets--most of them come from the fact that dan and I drive a ton and get a little careless. I have got to consciously decide to think about what I am doing while I am driving............
