A little catch up!

Okay... I have been absolutely HORRIBLE at blogging these past few weeks.
I would totally catch up now buuuut I don't have any of my pictures on this computer. ;(
I will just give a little update. A rambling type of post. Deal? ;)

Jackson finished his first year of preschool. Sooo bittersweet for this Mama! I can't believe it. He asks me a couple times a week- "Why don't I go to school two days a week anymore?!" He misses his best friend Cooper. Soon little buddy... When he was asking about it and telling me he wanted to go back I tried explaining the way I look at it. Which was super hard. Lol.

I told him to ENJOY being little because when you grow up you have responsibilities and you eventually move out of your Mommy's house and begin your own family. He just kept telling me that he can't wait to be a Dad! Awwwh. I don't want my little man to grow up. He turns 5 in 4 months. Four freaking months. Where did time go? Sheesh. He is so dang smart. And the sweetest little thing ever.

He can spell his own name. :) And he is so dang proud of it! (I would post a video but I don't know how to get it on the computer. Boooo.)

His Grandma Karlla picks him up every morning for me so I can get to work on time... I MISS HIM! Anyway, she goes to the gym before she picks him up and the other day he asked her where she's been... "At the gym! I'm trying to get skinny!" And he replied "My Mommy is so skinny. She is so so beautiful." Tender right? :)

I LOVE YOU, JACKSON HUNTER!!!

Jentri is growing like a wild flower. She has developed thee cutest personality in the world. She giggles and smiles ALL.DAY.LONG. It's hard to come acrossed her grumpy. She is such a Mama's girl. I love it. Once a week she sleeps at her Gamma Lisa's house and this morning I missed her so much.. I don't know how I'll ever get a job that doesn't allow me to bring her with. I'll miss her too dang much!! Looks like I should start looking into working from home, eh? ;)

There isn't one type of food that this girl doesn't like. She will eat anything you give her. She's my little chunkamunk.

She's been sleeping in her crib every night. *Tear* I have to teach her to be an individual and be independant... but shoot, I enjoyed a cuddler every night.

To add to the unbelievable fact that my baby BOY is turning five in 4 months... my baby GIRL is turning one in 5 months. Whaaaat! Yeah, absolutely crazy.

I love both of these little buggers so dang much and can't imagine life without them. They keep me working hard, loving much, laughing often, and just staying sane. They remind me every single day that life is good no matter WHAT happens or WHO disappoints you.

I am blessed. :)

Onto another subject.


I have a friend.... that I have been talking to every day for the last couple months. give or take.
It's kind of crazy. We know a lot about each other. It's nice having to communicate through JUST talking because you actually get to know a person as an individual without all the chaos of other people or other situations. We don't have any other option and it's a super nice feeling when someone wants to spend as much time on the phone as I do. :) No matter what the topic is, it always seems like it's a good conversation.

We make something out of nothing... so damn well. :)

So this friend of mine came into town last weekend. We both knew we wanted to hang out. I was nervous. Friend was nervous. We click so well over the phone, but was it going to be the same in person?

ABSOLUTELY. :)

I felt like a little girl!

It was the funnest weekend. We went to the spaghetti factory on Friday night.. yummmy. We were planning on going bowling after but I had to pick my girl up so we just went to my house and chilled. And talked. The thing we're best at. And I wouldn't have chosen any other way to spend my Friday night! We went out on Saturday night for a while and ended back at home eating Panda Express. Sunday was a beautiful day so we took a big blanket outside and laid on the lawn for hours... on Sunday night I had to take friend to the airport.

Next visit is July 1st. Sooo looking forward to it! It hasn't even been 2 days and I am already anxious for our next adventure. Sacrifice is a huge thing in whatever this is that we are making.

Before the whole meeting thing we talked about how I want to make a video of my life. When my Dad was alive he recorded everything. My Mom, not so much. We don't have one video from 2000 forward. Crazy right? I am usually pretty good about recording my kids special moments but it's always been planned. So on my way to friends house I recorded my nervous self. Haha. We recorded our entire weekend... except I forgot the video cam at the airport. I wanted to cry. HELLO! That was like the biggest part of the weekend was friend leaving. It would have been nice to get the emotion of the end (or beginning?) on video. Oh well though. We aren't going to watch the video until the visit in July. I'm sure it'll be freakin hilarious... and amazing, if we're able to watch the video in a year from now.

It's so crazy what you get in life when you take chances. It's an interesting ride for sure.

What if it doesn't work out? Ohhh but what if it does? :)
