Winter 2012

The kids and I are hopefully on the mend from a NASTY sickness.  Including ear infections, sinus infections and upper respiratory symptoms.  I hate seeing my babies sick, however there is one perk to it.  I get the most amazing hugs, love, snot nose kisses when they are under the weather.  I know it is horrible to say, I love getting SOME SUPER love.  I don't even mind the snot, most of the time.  My son, is officially 2, now and it being a little defiant about his naps, or lack of naps.  Em has turned a corner and is sleeping amazing thru the night.  I had to revert back to the swing the last few days because of her congestion but 12 straight hours is amazing! All you mama's out there no what I am talking about!

We just celebrated JP's 32nd birthday!  WOW!  Where does the time go.  I meet JP when he was 21 at CWU.  A lot has changed since then, a little recap:  We are married now 4 years, have an amazing dog and tiny cat, we have a super cool son and a uber, adorable daughter, careers, a house, and yes, I am still driving my 2002 toyota 4runner!!!!  Being married isn't aways sunshine and rainbows, but I won't want it any other way.  JP is the best teammate ever!  He is loyal, kind, thoughtful, hardworking, sensitive ( his favorite scent is lavender) and loving.  A bit oblivious at times, but I can deal!

The winter has been crazy this year, BIG SNOW, crazy storms, change all around us!  Enjoying it but looking forward to spring, softball, and sunshine.

 Until next time.....
