March is almost over...

It just a few days it will April. In April it will be Riebug's 1st Easter. YAY! Also, we will be getting the kid's pictures done with Libby on the 11th! I'm really excited. We are also probably going to take Riker on his first train ride. He is so into trains right now and I think he'll love it! I'm really anxious for Thomas the Train coming in the fall. He just might freak out. We will probably leave Rien with my mom and let it be his thing. No sister.

Also, April means yet another month closer to getting out of this apartment. It means only 3 months left!

So, bring on April!!!!

The Fire

Today the kids and I were hanging at home. After lunch I decided to make Riker the last of the cookies in the freezer. So I preheated the oven and got Rien changed for nap. Then as I was getting Riker ready the oven began smell an awful smell. I went to the kitchen opened the stove and it was full of flames. I then closed it turned it off and called 911. She told me to get the kids out of the house since oven fires turn quickly. So I wrapped the kids up in blankets and took them to the Jeep. The fire men came put the fire out and then after a little bit gave us clearance to go back in. They said it looked like there was probably some grease on the bottom of the stove. Which I think is weird and that it must have already been there from before we moved in because I do all my cooking on top of the stove or in my crock pot. The fireman specifically told me not to touch the stove until maintenance comes and says it's good and plugs it in. I put Rien down for nap and called the apartments like the RRFD told me to do. When I tell her without one stitch of concern she asks me to if I can come down and fill out a report for them. I say no my kids are down for nap. So she asks me exactally when they will wake up. I say I don't know and ask her if they can just give me the report so I can fill it out and drop it off. She tells me that's not how it works. Long story short we are all fine and that woman is awful.

March 19, 2010

Today we went to Cameron Park Zoo with Aunt Haley. I got a little lost in Waco but that always happens when I'm with Haley or anybody really. It was Riebug's firat zoo trip but I don't think I'll count it since she just chilled in her stroller not caring. Maybe she'll care by the time we go to the Houston Zoo in August. So anywho. We had fun. Riker just wanted Aunt Haley to carry him everywhere. He fell asleep on the way home and cried upon arriving home and discovering I had taken her home. He wanted "HER" back in his car.

After we got back I took the kids home and went to go see Mia Jayne. She is such a pretty girl. Natalie and Jason are proud parents and they should be she is beautiful. I can't wait to see more of her. I love when people have babies! Now if I can just get Haley to be a mommy. I'm ready to be an Aunt!!!!!

7 Months/March

RIEN RAE IS 7 MONTHS OLD!!! She is such a blessing. She is always happy and has the most beautiful smile. She is an AMAZING little girl and we are so lucky to have her!

Her brother is pretty awesome too! That child cracks me up. The things that come out of his mouth are hilarious.

Work is work. Some people irritate me and some people I think are great. I try to avoid the irritating ones. I swear you can't wait to grow up so you don't have to deal with childish people but it only gets worse.

FYI. My weight loss sucks. I haven't lost a pound since February but I haven't gained one either. I am still at my pre prego weight but I haven't lost any of the 11 pounds I want to loose by May. It might help if I try. Anybody want to make me or at least make it stop raining? LOL. Maybe I'll do some Wii fit tonight.

Rien was dedicated at church on Sunday and she was beautiful in her Kate Mack!!! She is such a princess.

Last Monday (the 8th) Riker and Rien started going to child care. It's been hard but apparently they are enjoying it since I have to make my son leave with me because he doesn't want to go home.

Looking forward to more exciting stuff this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

March is Here!!!

So, I have 6 lbs to loose in 16 days. But thanks to donut holes, banana bread, pizza, and not working out in 2 weeks.......it will need to be a miracle or I could try harder. I more likely that I will gain weight than loose.



Haley Rae will be here in 18 days!!! Yay. I can't wait!



The kids will start going to a child care next Monday. It makes me really nervous but we have no choice. She seems relly nice and she has a lot of great references but it is just hard to do. This is the first time the kids have been with a sitter that isn't family or a close friend. I just hope it goes well. Riker loved the other kids and it seems like he will have a really great time. I really think it will be fine. It just makes me sad because even though I starting working full time over a year ago. Riker was staying home with Daddy not someone else.
