Just Like Sissy!

Alexis want to do EVERYTHING her sister does! Last night she was upset about not being able to go to gymnastics, so my parents let her do gymnastics in their living room! They took some pictures so that I could see, and they turned out SO cute! Lexi wore one of her sister's leotards and had a blast! I do not know what I would do without my parents infinite knowledge about how to take care of kids!  I would be lost!

Well Lexi is getting one of her wishes, she starts dance classes tonight. She is so excited, it has been all she has talked about all week! I am not to sure of how it will go, but I guess we will see! The dance teacher seems to think that she will do fine, I am the only one with reservations.This also means that Lexi will perform in the recital this June! YAY!  

Bink's Gymnastics!

  I just wanted to post some new pics of Bianka's gymnastics practice. I know I have been a bad, bad blogger! I do not have any pictures up of her gymnastics since her first practice from like 3 years ago! She is doing SO well! She does things that make my skin crawl when I watch her! She did her first cartwheel on the beam last night, and she is FINALLY getting the headstand down!

I am sorry that the pics aren't the greatest, I am not actually allowed in the gym so  I had to take them from the viewing room, and the lighting is just not the greatest in there. The picture above is of Bianka holding her cartwheel for 20 seconds. Next week she will have to do 30 seconds! All I can say is OUCH!

Bink's new favorite is the beam. I am very excited about this because before it was the bars, and that made me sick to my stomach to watch. She fell off more than she stayed on, but she did get up and go back to the bars every time!

Enjoy the pics everyone! Let me know what you think!! :o)

Avoidance and American Idol

I am currently in the middle of cleaning my kitchen.....and I am bored! So while my kitchen needs a good mopping I am going to write to all of you because I am a procrastinator!

The past few days have been incredibly boring with Josh not here. I never really realize how much he annoys me, keeps me company, and entertains me until he is gone! :o(

I know that I should use this opportunity to catch up on my homework, clean my house, and maybe even watch a chick flick or two, but I am not, I am as usual sitting in front of my computer writing yet another pointless blog post! There is always tomorrow, right?

So anyway on to the good stuff...........

Why is it that every year on American Idol they have one mentally challenged dumbass go on and on and on about how much Simon sucks? I do not know about the rest of America, but I think that it is getting old. No one likes Simon, this is why the show has been a hit! If there were three incredibly nice judges who coddled every bad singer to walk through the door, not ONE person would watch!! So just accept the fact that Simon is an ass, and move on already!! If you have the nerve to go audition, expect Simon to trash you! Why is this so hard to understand?

Also, what was up with the 24 year old nanny that doesn't watch rated "R" movies? I understand values, but I think that this is taking it overboard! Some of the best movies are rated R! Take " V for Vendetta" it is rated R and there is nothing wrong with this movie!! No naked hot and heavy sex scenes, not a lot of blood, and not even alot of bad language! I think that she is missing out on a lot of entertainment, and she is setting herself up for the SHOCK of a lifetime entering the music industry! On the lighter side, if she can make it past the next round she has a shot at winning! She was really good! I also thought that the girl that was a horse training cage fighter was really talented, although she won't even have to sing to get votes(if you know what I mean)!

All in all it looks like this season is going to be the same as all of the previous seasons. I should stop watching, but you know that I won't! Simon will be 85 and in a wheelchair still doing this show, and I will still be watching like a mindless idiot!

It is COLD :o(

Let me start by telling you that I LOVE snow! I really do. I love making snow angles and snowmen, I love snowball fights, and I think that there is nothing prettier than a snow covered tree.

Now let me tell you that I HATE the cold! Makes no sense right? I guess that is just typical me....I never make any sense.I hate waking up in the morning knowing that my floors are going to be freezing, I hate getting the kids in 25 layers of clothes before we leave the house at 8 a.m., and I hate that the kids can't play outside all day like they do during every other season.

It is currently 23 degrees outside, which isn't bad, but it is supposed to be 6 degrees on Sunday! Yes ladies and gentlemen SIX degrees! This is ridiculous! I will not leave my house, I will refuse to!

The kids on the other hand, LOVE it when it is cold. Sometimes I swear they aren't mine! LOL! They love sweaters and scarfs, they love gloves and hats. And they especially love waking up in the morning and getting out every blanket we own and laying on the couch with me (OK, so this part I like).

Well the point of this post is to tell you all that I am a Florida girl, born and bred, so answer me this. Why the heck is my husband in Florida on the coldest day of the year, and I am stuck here in the cold! I can imagine him in short sleeves and sunglasses, driving down the highway with the AC on. I am BITTER! :o) Not really, but does this sound fair to you? I think I should make him sleep in the cold when he gets back!

My Midnight Phone Call

My phone rang at exactly midnight last night......it was so funny that I feel the need to share with you guys! Me: Hello Drunk Guy: TIFFANY!! Me: No Drunk Guy: Can I talk to Tiffany? Me: No Drunk Guy: (sounding like he is crying) Why won't you let me talk to Tiffany? Me: Because she doesn't live here Drunk Guy: That doesn't matter, I really need to talk to her! Me: No, you are not understanding, you have the wrong number! Drunk Guy: No, I know I don't! Why are you being so mean? Why won't you let me talk to Tiffany? I really have to tell her something. Me: (getting annoyed) SERIOUSLY! She does not live here! I do not know Tiffany! Drunk Guy: Then why the hell are you answering her phone?? Me:(laughing) I didn't. Drunk Guy: Why are you f#%^ing with me? Me: I wouldn't do that, I really did not answer Tiffany's phone! Drunk Guy: FINE! I am coming over there right now! I don't know why you won't let me talk to Tiffany...so I am just coming over! Tell her I am on my way! Me: Ok, I will! Bye! HEHE! I love screwing with people! ( I know sick, right? But the guy woke me up at midnight, he had it coming!) :o)

I Love Photoshop!!

Just had to show all of you this adorable picture photoshopped for a calendar I am making! This one is for January. Enjoy! :o)

Lexi's First Day of Preschool!

Yesterday was Lexi's first day of preschool, well ok I guess that it is pre-preschool, if that makes sense! She will be attending this preschool until the fall when she will attend Community Nursery, just like her big sister.I am just taking her here in order to prepare her for the transition into preschool. She will go on Tuesdays for an hour.

Lexi did really well. I was impressed. She looked kind of hesitant when her teacher came out to get her. I think that it was at that moment that she realized that Mommy would not be coming with her. After she gave me the saddest look that I have ever seen, she went with the teacher and acted like a big girl. While she did not cry, I bawled. I really expected her to throw a fit and make me come into the class with her. I know that is good that she didn't, but I kind of wish that she would have! The only time that she cried for me was when she ran head first into another little boy in the gym. My baby girl is growing up!!

The school that she is attending has a different theme every week, and this week was P.J. week, so all of the pics look a little funny. It is odd that Lexi's first pictures of going to preschool are all in her p.j.'s and slippers, but oh well! They are cute anyway!!

Resident Evil:Extinction

Josh and I just watched Resident Evil:Extinction.

It was an excellent movie, all the way until the end! What is up with a movie that has no ending?? It left a million questions unanswered, the main character did not even accomplish anything, and half of the cast died! What the hell?

I am severely annoyed!! While I am sure that there is going to be a Resident Evil 4, it is still frustrating that I have to wait! There I go being a spoiled brat again! haha Oh well, I am done venting for the night! Hope that you all have had an excellent weekend so far!

Family Game Night

The kids have been anxious to try out some of the games that they got for Christmas, so tonight we tried Kerplunk. This was my favorite game when I was a kid. I was SO excited that we found it! So Bianka and Lexi helped put all of the marbles in and then we one by one pulled out the sticks. I have no idea how, but we played like ten times, and I lost every time!! I was amazed to see that the girls did really well with taking turns, and they were really good sports too! Bianka actually put some of my marbles in her dish so that I could win once! It was really cute. Because tonight went so well I have deemed every Friday night family game night! I am kind of excited that the girls are old enough now to be able to sit down and participate in family activities without it being a living nightmare!

Have you ever sat down and realized that your kids are growing up, and you haven't even noticed? It is sad really. I would have never imagined the Lexi would get the concept of a board game, or be patient enough to play it. It is amazing how time passes and you think that everything stays the same, but things are changing all the time, you just don't pay enough attention to notice it. At least that is how my life has been lately. It is easy to get caught up in the everyday craziness and not pay attention to the things that really matter.

YAY! Emily has a blog!

My favorite sister-in-law has decided to start blogging! She is a journalist by profession, and one of the funniest people I know(I mean this in a good way) so her blog should prove to be interesting reading!! Enjoy people!!

http://emily-justanotherday.blogspot.com/

And for goodness sakes leave her some comments!!

Bianka is feeling better :o)

Bianka has been home for 24 hours and all is well so far! She is a little sluggish, but that is to be expected. She is just layig on the couch with her faithful sidekick Boo Boo. Hopefully she will be up to speed by Monday! She is looking forward to gewtting back to school and dance, and everything else that she does. Lets keep our fingers crossed!! :o)

Celebrity Apprentice

Ok, I know that Omarosa was on the Apprentice before, but how in the world does that make her a celebrity? HELLO she was FIRED! She didn't even win! If you can be a celebrity just by being a stupid bitch....then EVERYONE should know my name! I thought the point of this was to raise money for charity? Who does she know that will donate?

It was Omarosa's idea to not "sell" celebrity (maybe because she is not one)and then the poor Playboy Bunny got fired for it! I agree that Tiffany may not have been the brightest crayon in the box, but she did nothing wrong! All I can say is I want to see Gene Simmons and Omarosa go head to head!

KISS THIS OMAROSA!!

Scroll to the bottom of this page to view Bianka's Alphabet Adventure( I could not figure out how to add it to this post) or go to this link: http://www.myabcadventure.com/index.htm?movieid=6D1616A5-7D9E-4527-824A-63903F782943 Enjoy everyone!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WOW!! New Years was interesting this year!! First of all I want to thank Tracie and Sandy for still talking to me!(my kids and I kinda ruined the night) Lets start at the begining! The night was started out with me taking a nap. Well I woke up late, no big deal. We got the kids in the car and headed over to Rob and Tracie's for our party. We were already late, I had a headache, and Lexi decides to throw up all over the car! YAY!!!! We turn around and go home, get Lexi changed, and head back to Rob and Tracie's. As soon as I walked in the door I felt ill. I had to run to their bathroom and I stayed there or on the couch sleeping for the remainder of the night! HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR TO ME!! Apparantly, while I am sick in my friends bedroom passed out, Josh and the kids were having a good time. Bianka was excited to be with her friends and that we were letting her stay up late. Josh was drinking beer with the guys and I do not even think he noticed that I was gone. Meanwhile what we thought was just car sickness for Lexi was not. About halfway through the night she started to get sick again. As soon as she started feeling bad, I began to feel better. I felt SO bad for her! We just kind of let her lay around, and didn't think much about it(my kids are always sick). And I tried to play some games with my friends. I made it to midnight, kissed my husband, took some pictures, and made the biggest mistake EVER! I ate some very delicious food! This was the downfall of the night. You have to understand.....my friend Tracie made my FAVORITE meatballs, I had clam dip, and there was all kinds of really good nut rolls and fudge and mint candy. You would think that I would have been smarter than to eat it all......but I wasn't. :o( I decided that it would be better if we went home for the night, and it is a good thing that we did! I went to bed sick as a dog, and I woke up to Josh taking Lexi to the hospital. She was burning up and throwing up again. He was at the hospital with her until 5am. Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Turns out that she has an ear infection, and she was dehydrated. She had to get a shot of antibiotics and then they let her come home. Needless to say we all slept in on New Year's day. Lexi was seeming to feel better, and so was I. So we had a lazy day. We were all winding down and watching a movie when Bink started to get sick.:o( After about her 5th time of throwing up we decided to take her in to the hospital. My sister came over to watch Lexi and thank God she did! Bianka was severly dehydrated, and they admitted her after three shots of anti-nausea meds and two bags of IV fluids were not working. We spent the next two days at the hospital. My little girl was such a trooper!! Thank God it was just the stomach flu! All I have to say is next New Years we are not leaving the house. I am ignoring the holiday! If I ignore it nothing bad will happen. When I make plans and have things to do, something always happens! I hope that everyone else had a wonderful New Year!!

Just Playing With Some Pictures!

I was just playing with Picasa Pictures, and thought this was cute.....So enjoy!! :o)

Bored,Tired,Worried

So I am still at the hospital with little miss Bink. It doesn't look
like she is going to get to come home today. She is feeling a little
bit better, just not enough for them to send her home. I hope that we
will be out of here by morning.

I am sleep deprived and starving. I don't want to eat in front of Bink
because she can't eat. So I just have not eaten. I guess that's what I
can do now. I am going to go get some yummy hospital cafeteria food!
Wish me luck!!!

Bianka is in the hospital

My baby girl is sick. :o(

We brought her to the ER last night because she wouldn't stop throwing
up. She is dehydrated and sick. They have her on IV fluids, and she
has to wait until she isn't sick to her stomach anymore before they
will let us leave. I am hoping that she can come home tonight, but it
is looking more like tomorrow.

Bink is such a trooper!! They have had to poke and stick her and she
hasn't complained.

I will update you guys when we get home!! Think good thoughts!! Love
to all!

Kids are Fun!!

I can not tell you how much fun we had on the way home from Indiana! We decided to stop at the Louisville Science Center, and it was well worth it! The girls look at everything with wonder in their eyes. I would love to be a kid again and have that kind of amazement inside of me! Wouldn't it be nice if adults could look at things the way that children do? To not have all of the skepticism and doubt in our minds? To just believe would be a wonderful feeling!

The girls played with everything that they could, and I have to say that Josh and I probably had just as much fun as they did just by watching them. Bink's favorite was the "Be in a Bubble" exhibit that they had, and Lexi's favorite was the wildlife exhibit.

We ended our little excursion with a trip to the Hard Rock Cafe. Bianka was fascinated with all of the memorabilia on the walls, and Lexi couldn't have cared less! ha ha

Can You Say Chuck-E-CHEESE??

Bianka and Alexis got to go to Chuck-E-Cheese with their favorite cousins, Chloe and Calle, on Saturday. They had a blast, but Josh and I about lost our minds! I have never seen such a busy place!! OMG it was unreal!! I had fun, of course, but it made me very nervous. Josh and I got to spend some time with George and Emily(My favorite person in the whole wide world!)and we had a nice lunch a BW3s.

Christmas With Sherry!

After Christmas with Rick and Julie we headed over to Josh's Mom's to do the whole thing over!! Let me tell you the kids were in heaven!! I can't blame them.....what kid has not one but FOUR Christmas's!!

Enjoy the pics!! :o)

Christmas with Rick and Julie!!

After delays at Josh's work, my incompetent packing, whiny children, and a 7 hour drive we finally made it to Evansville LATE Thursday night. I love that we get to go see our family every year at Christmas. It is so nice that even though we live so far away that the kids get to spend special time with them every year.

Julie and Rick went WAY overboard on presents for the kids!! We had a van full coming back! These presents included these little cheerleader dolls from HELL!! They were adorable at first...then they were annoying.....then I wanted to chop their cute little heads off!! haha(Thanks Jules!!)

We got to spend time with Josh's brother and sister-in-law. The kids have a blast with them(because they are just big kids themselves) and Josh always loves to see his brother.

We went to Josh's Mimi and Papaw's on Saturday. I hate that we never have enough time to spend over there. It seems like we have to stop in and run! The kids always seem to be tired and cranky. I know that they enjoy seeing them anyway, I just wish for once that they could see the girls when they are being sweet and nice, not tired and whiny!!

All in all it was a wonderful time with the Family! I just wish that we had more time to spend with everyone.
