He's moving!

Well, not in this picture, but it was too cute not to post. Jacob is crawling really good now, and sitting up like a pro. He loves graham crackers, and last night tasted his first chocolate milk shake. Isn't it funny what you will do with your second baby that you wouldn't dream about doing with your first? Not that this will be a regular occurrence or anything, but boy was he happy when I gave him a taste!

Oh, news for all my DC pals- Michael and I will be up there this October (I'll give you the dates soon). Yeah!

I'm so bummed!

I've been sitting around waiting to register for my classes (because I got a letter telling me that they were waiting on something, and then would tell me what to do next). Wouldn't you know, yesterday morning I find out that yesterday is the last day to register. So, I load up both kids and race over (hoping to beat the crowds), but end up about 20th in line. I finally make it in and NONE of the classes I need are still available. Sure, I've got to take some responsibility here. But I literally spoke to 6 different people on campus, and none of them told me anything that would have helped. The classes have been full since I first applied. Dang it!!!

It bums me out even more because I was so excited, and told everyone about it. I'm sure it seems to everyone that this is probably a blessing, since I'm so busy with the kids right now, but when you're really motivated to do something, it's difficult to keep it up when you have to sit around and wait, you know? Oh well.

Memories

This seems to be going around, so I thought I'd join in! Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. You can sign in on blogger for free, so you can comment. Just click on comments and follow the directions. You don't have to have a blog page. And your memory can be of any members of my family.

A few cute pics!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Since my life is pretty boring and I've got nothing at all to do (HA!), I've decided to take on a bit more. I enrolled in school (4 classes), and I'm finally going to finish my degree (Business w/ a minor in Marketing). I've been to 4 schools, and unfortunately everything won't transfer, but that's OK. The local university (Athen's State University) offers most of the classes I need online, which is perfect for me.

Fortunately I have the Montgomery GI Bill to help pay for it, but it'll still be difficult. I think it's important for me to show my kids that I was able to accomplish a big goal, even though it was tough.

So now, I work 7 days a week with the kids, take a full-load at school, and work part-time with Tastebuds & Kitchen Aid. Hmmm..... I wonder what I should do next......

10 Little Pink Piggies & 2 Potato Heads

Isabella got her cute little toenails painted for the first time this week. It's super cute, and I have no idea why it took me so long to do it!! She also had her 3 year old Dr. check-up (although I was a couple months late). She is 3 ft 4 inches, and weighs 38lbs. That puts her in the 94% for both. Do I have big kids or what?!?!?

I also enrolled Isabella in preschool. She will be going every Tuesday & Thursday from 9am-1pm. She was very excited when I told her, and loved the place when we took a tour. She will be in the same class as a little boy from nursery. All the kids are within 6 months of her age, and they have a cool playground and daily music class. I'm not talking violin or anything- think more along the lines of symbols, a triangle, bells.... you get the idea.

Here is a picture I took of Isabella's first drawing of people. Daddy is on the right and Isabella is on the left. Pretty cool, huh? If you've ever seen Jo Jo's Circus, the picture kinda looks like Tater.
