My Soccer Boys

My two cute boys had their first soccer games on Saturday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there because of my girls getaway this weekend, but Bob said they had so much fun! Colby even scored 2 goals in his game and both boys were beaming as they relived their game experience telling me about it! Brayden's team is called the "Silver Snakes" and Colby's is the "Green Goblins". Actually, Colby's team doesn't have a name, but he was upset that Brayden's team had a name and his didn't....so, Bob, the great Dad that he is, came up with a name and now Colby is on cloud 9 being on the "Green Goblins"!!

Girlz, Girlz, Girlz!!

This weekend I had a little girls weekend with some of my best friends from High School. It's tradition every September to have some type of getaway for as many of us that can come. This year Bridget, Marci, Haleigh and I spent Fri & Sat in Scottsdale. It was so much fun! I would go into detail..........however, I think Bridget and Haleigh pretty much covered it all in their blogs!! So - for pics and details refer to their blogs!! And Haleigh, I WAS lovin' the ice cream!!

October 18th...

... is the day I have my ultrasound! I am really excited to finally have the date set, but..... why oh why do I have to wait until I'm 20 WEEKS!! I'm dying here. I asked my doc and he said it would be okay to do it a week or two earlier. However, when I got to the reception desk, they informed me that their ultrasound tec will be on vacation for 1 1/2 weeks and this was the soonest they could do it. I guess I have to be patient...I just want to know sooo bad!!!

The Toothfairy's comin' to our house tonight!

Brayden lost his first tooth! I always assumed he would loose his teeth early because he got his teeth early, at 5 months old, however, that wasn't the case! His cousin and most of his friends have been losing teeth right and left for a year now! He is so excited that he said he wants everyone to call him "lucky" from now on because he is so lucky he lost his tooth!

Silly Boy

Today I was trying to get Colby together to go pick Brayden up from school... just like always. I told him to go get shoes on and of course he doesn't want to. We go through this a lot.... if he knows he's not getting out of the car, he doesn't want to put his shoes on. I don't blame him, really. However, he has this foot fetish that he can't walk in the garage without shoes because his feet get dirty. So, I end up carrying him to the car. Lately it is getting harder and harder to do this.....because he is 36 lbs. now and also my lil' pregnant belly is starting to get in the way! So today as I was lifting him to the car, I told him that mommy can't do this anymore because I have a baby in my tummy. To this he sweetly replied,"But mommy, it's alright, the baby isn't crying... see?"

Blog Fun

I got this from Dawn's blog...it looked like fun...

My roommate and I once: got in a fight! No, not fist fight, but it's a funny story. We were supposed to go somewhere on a Saturday morning...I don't even remember where. (Background info: this was my chipper early morning roommate that was up and dressed with make-up on and hair done by , I swear 7 am every morning!! Yes, you guessed right - it's Haleigh!!) So, of course Haleigh was all ready to go and I, of course, was still asleep. I'm sure she waited around a while and then decided to wake me up I'm thinking around 9 or 10. Now - I am the complete OPPOSITE of Haleigh. I like my sleep, and I absolutely HATE being woken up. And - you might not want to talk to me for at least an hour after I wake up or I'll bite your head off. (I sound so sweet, huh!!) So...Haleigh goes to wake me up and I tell her to go away....so she proceeds to take my covers from me and I flipped out!! I told her I hated her and to leave me alone!! Poor Haleigh!!! My hubby can relate, I'm sure! I later apologized and am lucky she still considers us friends after all these years!!

Never in my life have I: been out of the country. (besides Mexico) I would love to travel the world! Not likely any time soon, but it's a goal of mine for the future

High School was: lots of fun, however, I'm glad it's over!

When I am nervous: I can't think of things to say. I stumble over words and draw a blank. You can imagine what giving a talk is like! Pitiful!

My Hair: really needs to be trimmed! I have so many split ends and my highlights have been grown out a while. I also am thinking about a total new hairstyle...but, I fear change!

When I was 5: My mom got remarried. I totally adored my new Step dad when my mom was dating him, however, when they got married he became a real jerk!

When I turn my head left: I hit my head on the wall, OUCH!

I should be: feeling much better by now!! I swear I feel like this morning (& afternoon & evening) sickness is lasting FOREVER!! I am almost 15 weeks and I still feel like I'm gonna puke most of the time. Luckily, the puking has stopped, now I just need the "urge to puke" to stop!

By this time next year: we will probably have moved out of state. Boo Hoo!! I love where I live and all the friends and family I have around me! However, when Bob took this position 3 years ago, we knew we would eventually have to move out of state.

My Favorite Aunt is: my Aunt Julie and my Aunt Dana. These are my only 2 Aunts, one on my mom's side and one on my Dad's. My extended family is not very close. I probably see my Aunt's every 2 years or so. I always wished my family was closer.

I have a hard time understanding: how people can hurt children. Especially their own children. I love my boys sooo much and can't imagine hurting them emotionally, mentally or physically. (I obviously watch too much Oprah) But it really does make me angry to hear stories of children in abusive homes.

My ideal Breakfast is: Pancakes, Waffles, French toast, Fried Eggs, English Muffins, Bacon, Omelets, and Bagels....Mmmmm I LOVE breakfast food! And if I could eat it all, I would have it all for one meal!! (Can you tell I'm Pregnant! Ha!)

If you spent the night at my house: you'd have to stay up chatting with me! Bob likes to go to bed early because he wakes up @ 5 to work out....and I'm a night owl! I will stay up until my eyelids are uncontrollably closing! Whenever my sis comes to stay with me, we play Skipbo until the wee hours of the morning!

I shouldn't have been: at walgreens a couple of Sundays ago....I was cravings twizzlers soo bad, I thought I would literally die without them!!

Last night I: cleaned my house because Bob got home at midnight from his race in Colorado. He's a clean freak and I wanted to make him happy with a clean house when he got home. Plus, when the house is clean, I get more action!

I've been told I look: sweet and innocent....people always think I'm this shy, sweet little thing that could do no wrong, could that be further than the truth?!? They obviously don't know me very well!! Refer to the first question on this list!!

Pink

I know, I have 2 boys and decided to change my blog to pink. Sometimes you just crave femininity, what can I say?

1st day of Preschool

Today was Colby's first day of Preschool. He was so excited this morning getting all dressed and ready with Brayden....and then he realized that he doesn't get to go to school till 12:00. Every few minutes he'd say,"It's 12 o'clock mom" He wanted it to be 12 so desparately all morning!! When he finally got off to school, he was beaming! Today he got a little book bag with his name on it from his teacher to take to school each day. He also made an apple puppet and learned about the letter A. He is so happy to be a "big kid" and go to school.
