New President!

Well my weekend is over and on to a new week. The kids didn't have school yesterday. Which was really nice not have to go anywhere. Lazy on my part.... This weekend was so relaxing and a lot of fun. It was like a giant slumber party. My friends picked me up on Friday 8 ish and we picked up two more friends and then headed to the beach. We took our time at the outlet mall and had some yummy food. I got awesome deals at the outlet mall. Most of the deals were 50% off of the clearance. Awesome. Then up the mountain we went for the retreat. The speaker was wonderful! Can't wait for next year.
Now onto the new President. I am very excited that we made history and my kids will be learning about this when they are in high school. It gives Hope to many people who didn't think that it was possible. It is an exciting time for many people. I am very interested to see what the future holds for him and see what things will come into effect.
Until next time....

Glasses!

This is the new face of my little boy. Doesn't he look so handsome? Wow, I can't believe that with these glasses he looks all grown up. Here I am writing this post and tearing up. My little man is no longer a baby or a toddler (which he hasn't for awhile but...) anymore.

Jonas needed to get glasses due to him having a stigmatizam (probally spelled that one wrong). It is something that we couldn't have done anything to prevent. When we went to get his eyes checked they told us that he would have to wear them all the time. Jonas wasn't thrilled at the idea. Well today we picked them up and he has had them ever since. He doesn't mind them because they really do help. Man I have noticed a huge difference. He doesn't have to sit so close to things. (man why didn't I notice this before?) Any way cutest kid he is w/ this new super hero glasses of his....

This week has been busy. We are doing swimming lesson. Both kids are doing so good. Miranda feels really comfortable in the water. She is in Parent/ Tot class w/ Josh. She just splashes and actually doggy paddles. Jonas is in a glass this year. He is doing really good and getting the hang of things. Yesterday he went down to the bottom of the pool. He is doing really good putting his face in the water.

This morning I head for a much needed mom's weekend. Our church has an annual retreat every year. I am going w/ some friends and stopping out the outlets for some fun and relaxing shopping (w/ out kids). Nice. Well hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.....

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it is finally here. Welcome 2009! It has been a long year with many ups and downs but thankfully we are all healthy and happy. Last year the year started off with me in the hospital with phemonia and ended with our nephews 1st birthday party. What a year. I am ready for a new year to see what God has instore for us. Jonas has completed a half year in Kindergarden. He is doing really well and enjoying everything there is about Kindergarden. He is starting to read and is getting really good at it. Miranda is working on potty training but she is a lot like me in many ways. And she wants to do it on her own time. Which I am struggling at letting her do because I want it on my own time.... hehehehe. Like mother like daughter! Man mom does this sound like you and me or what. Josh is doing really well in his job and loving every moment of teaching. As for me well same stuff as usually. I have plenty to keep me busy and loving being home with my kids. I wouldn't ask for much more expect maybe that I didn't have to work much but I will take what I can get. :)

Alot has come out of 2008 and we as a family are looking forward to seeing what 2009 has instore for us. Keep reading to see how Jonas ends kindergarden and look forward to 1st grade. And see if we ever get our daugther fully potty trained.... I keep telling myself that she will not be going to college with a diaper on. Although she does tell me that she doesn't want to be a big girl she would rather be a baby... :)

Keep us in your prayers and thoughts during this year.....
