M & M People

David
Michelle
Skyler
Shan the Fishing Man!!!

So tonight the boys and I made M&M people on the computer at http://www.becomeanmm.com/ (Planet M). It was a lot of fun. They picked out their own body type, eyes, hair, arms, even accessories! Too cute. (click to see them bigger)

Today at work 13 people signed up to do the Biggest Loser at work. We all weighed in and are putting in $100 and the person who loses the biggest percentage of weight by April 20th wins the pot. I plan on winning!!!

I am still fighting this cold/cough! David is progressing on his potty training. No accidents this week!

Well tomorrow is WAHOO day! WAHOO, it's Friday!!!

Student of the Week, A Little Ice, & Fluffy!

Skyler was student of the week in his class last week so Friday at 1pm we went and listened to his student of the week presentation. It was pretty cute. After he and the teacher went through the presentation the class got to ask questions. They asked questions like "What is your favorite toy". I really got a couple of cute pictures.

I put the picture of the ice in because it is just so damn cold here that there is still ice here at 4:45pm from the sprinklers this morning around 10am. Isn't that just crazy???

We had a pretty good weekend. Yesterday I went to a luncheon/workshop at one of the churches downtown. It was called Simplify Your Life. The speaker was a lady named Kathy Peel. She was great, really nice. Lots of good ideas. Check her out at www.familymanager.com. The lunch was good, but the best part was that they had babysitting and they also fed the boys. All included in the price! They had so much fun that when I went to pick them up they asked if they could stay and play!!!

Last night Shannon and I went to see Gabriel Iglesias. He is a super funny comedian. He was here at the Fox Theater to film his one hour special for Comedy Central. He came into the station a couple of months ago to do some interviews and I swear Shannon broke every speeding law to get to my work to meet him. Here is a picture of Shannon and Gabriel from that day. Look for his special to come out "Live from Bakersfield"!

Well, we didn't do much today. Finally got the last of the Christmas decorations down!!! Thank God for Laurie, she took down the tree last week! :-) This afternoon we all went to the park for a little while. It is way to cold for me!

Well, getting ready for the week.

Happy Sunday!!!

Rough Day at Play

This is David about 10 minutes ago in the toy room. He passed out intent on eatting that banana, but just couldn't stay awake long enough. He was still asking about it as I changed his diaper and put his pjs on.

I dropped the boys off today at A Good Time Out, drop in day care, went and got a pedicure, shopped at Michael's and then did some grocery shopping at the new Smart and Final over on our side of town! I have not had a pedicure since before Alison and John's wedding and was in despirate need!!! It was also nice to go shopping by myself, and then just go pick the boys up. I had put pork chops in the crock pot this morning so I just put some pasta in my Pasta Express and 10 minutes later we were eatting dinner. If you have not tried your Pasta Express yet I would urge you to do so and if you don't have one, check it out. I love ours.

Well tomorrow is off to church and then I want to take down the Christmas decorations and get a little organization going on. Also do some cooking. I will report on how much I get done. Shannon is really under the weather. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.

2007 . . . . . . . . 1.1

Well, I totally did not get as much accomplished as I wanted to get done today. I never even did my hair today! David has a little cough and fever so much of the day was spent holding him. When he doesn't feel good all he wants to do is climb up onto my lap and cuddle! I had great plans of cleaning something out, throwing some things away, organizing. . . but that all went by the wayside. I do have to tell you, last Tuesday I spent most of the day cleaning out the boys toyroom. I have four big black trash bags just ready to go the Salvation Army. I was pretty proud of myself that day!!!

Yesterday afternoon we took the boys over to the school across the street to ride their bikes and their scooters (they both got new scooters for Xmas!) We took David's bike over, thinking that maybe we could teach him how to ride without training wheels. Looks like he showed his Dad instead!!!

oh well, tomorrow another day, another dollar!

Love ya,

Wow, time flys!!!

I swear this year just flew by. What a great year! Spending time with family and friends. We are truely blessed to have such a great and loving family, and the best group of friends!

The boys have grown so much. Skyler is truely no longer a toddler. He is a little boy. David is no longer a baby. I can almost always understand what he is saying, almost always! It is so amazing to me that they are so big. I don't really think about how much they have grown, then I will look at them (especially when they are asleep) and realize how tall they are getting. They are both very independant! As they get older we are able to enjoy them even more.

Well, I want to take this moment to wish you and yours the best year ever! I know I am going to try and make it mine!!!

Love ya ~ Shell
