Hello everyone! Long time-no-blog!! I really wish I had the internet at home, but with next to no money, paying for internet is about last on our list. I had a great birthday! Thank you wonderful sisters and mom!! I got to get slushies at Zumo's, go window shopping, get a full-body one-hour massage (probably the best part!), get a new hair cut (which turned out really cute), and got to eat dinner at Ya Ya's (which was pretty fancy) -- all paid for, not a penny out of my pocket!!! wooo hoo!!!! then I had ice cream cake at home, and played some games with my family. It was great. We had a wonderful christmas as well. I missed my family all over the U.S. (crazy people in Alaska, Idaho, Minnesota, and Illinois..what are you thinking??), but I really enjoyed being with our extended family here in Kansas. M got lots of good stuff, and so did J and I. I would give pictures, but my pictures are on my computer and I'm on grandma's computer, so...once again no pictures.

M is getting very big! She talks a lot now, even though a lot of it is gibberish. This is all she can do now:

she says a lot of animal sounds, the best one being a rooster -- Doo doo! ; She likes to pretend with her toys, sharing drinks with her dolls and animals; she can label all the parts of your face (eyes, ears, nose, etc.) as well as hands, feet, hair etc.;
she is very close to doing the itsy bitsy spider, loves the alphabet, and sings with the theme song to veggie tales;
she likes dancing to music, which includes stomping her feet and wiggling; sometimes she spins in circles;
she makes a really cute sad face (she sticks out her bottom lip and frowns);
sometimes she runs up to our dogs or cat and roughs them up saying "not nice, not nice"....apparently we need to work on what 'not nice' means, obviously she cought on what she was doing is "not nice" but she doesn't realize it's bad!
All in all she is great...almost all of the time. And we love her!

hopefullly I can get to blogging again soon.

Yay for blogging. :) I'm glad you found a way! And I'm glad you liked your birthday gift (day). I miss you like crazy glue! Give Kenzie lovins from me, K? Just keep saying Erin loves you, Erin loves you. Maybe when I see her again she will hear Erin and instantly LOVE me! (I mean that happens all the time ... but just for good measure ... chant the phrase for me, K?)

No, no, no. Say, "Megan loves you...Megan loves you...Megan loves you...She'll give you candy and present...Megan loves you."

That would be better. Loved the Kenzie update! Love you all!

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
