Bits and Pieces of our Life from 2011

 I found this draft of a post from 2 years ago. It's a glimpse into what was going on in our lives then.~

Wow. V. just showed me up in the pushups department. I can, of course, do more than her. But I struggle with it. She gets on the floor and just BAM! BAM! BAM! 3 in row without breaking a sweat! ~March 19th.

I registered my baby for Kindergarten today.They took us all into a big room.Then asked all the kids who are starting Kindergarten to come to the front.I thought we were going to clap for them or something.Nope.They took the kids out into another room.I was like,Wait!!What?! We aren't going to do this together? Wait! I didn't say goodbye to her! Wait! WAIT! They took my baby away from me. I had no warning.How mean...But she came back to me all smiles and full of talk about what she did. And I signed up for the PTA. I'm growing up. WE are growing up!I don't know if we're ready for this next phase in life as a family. PTA, Parent/Teacher Conferences, homework, school lunches,etc. Alot of changes are gonna be happening this Fall!~March 17th.

We just bought our DisneyLand vacation package! Later this week I'll have to make some phone calls to reserve a couple of things, but we are just about all done with the vacation planning stuff. Now we just wait for May to come!~March 13th.

I have many Valentine memories. One of my favorites?
Valentines Day Morning,6 years ago, after a year of trying, we found out we were pregnant! Probably the best Valentines gift I ever recieved!
And she is one of my biggest sweethearts!{Steve is the other!}~Feb 14th

This morning V. came down stairs while I was riding the bike and told me she had done something for me.
"What did you do for me?" I asked.
"I made your bed all by myself!" she said.
What a sweetheart!
However, our bed certainly looks like a 5 year-old made it! ~ Feb. 4th.

You know it's cold outside when you have to kick and pound your front door open~ Feb 3rd

Being one step closer to Financial Freedom is a wonderful feeling! And, as we are paying off our debt, we are contributing MORE to Steve's 401K than before. So we are preparing for our future as well as gaining our Financial Freedom!
{Now I've probably jinxed us and something gonna's come along that demands our money!}~ January 15th

So V. and I are sick. I'm slowly losing my voice. I talked to Steve on the phone a little bit ago.
He says,"Man! You sound like crap!"
Gee.... Thanks honey.
"You sound like a different woman!"
Again, thanks honey. ;)
~ January 3rd

Today my Grandpa Hill turned 80! We had a birthday party for him with family. I was thinking about all the fond and fun memories I have of him from since I was a little girl to now. I'm grateful for those memories and I'm glad that V. is making memories with her Great-Grandpa as well! ~January 1st

My darling preschooler just flooded the bathroom! She said she was giving her toys a 'bath' in the sink. But she forgot to turn off the water when she left the room. *sigh* The joys of parenthood!

This day in History 2010 on facebook~

A conversation I had with V. in the car one day~

V.~ " Mom, I'm super V! Who are you?"
 Me~"I'm.....Super mom!"
V.~"Oh! What are your powers?"
Me~"I can make dirty laundry disappear and turn into clean laundry. I can make the grass turn green. I can kiss a boo-boo and it gets all better. I can make all the dirt in the house disappear. I can make yummy treats!".
V.~ ".....oh.....But can you kill the bad guys and fly and be really strong?"
Me~"uh.....sure! I can do all that too!



V. and I about this time,2010

On this day, 2009, from Face Book

~'Yesterday V. was carrying around a small box with different items in it. She said it was her 'gorgouse' box. She walked up to people and asked if they would like some'gorgeous'? Then she would hand them something from the box! I wish being gorgeous was as easy as that! { For Steve she would ask if he wanted some 'handsome'}'~

I had forgotten she did that! I like that f/b does this and shows me what I wrote in the Past. It's fun to remember! Here's a photo I found from Aug. 2009~

Facebook status from a year ago today~

2 things~
1:For some reason V. has been calling Steve 'my bus' for about a week n...ow. She'll go around saying,"Hey Bus this, hey Bus that" etc. Weird.
2: I'm loving how craft blogs are starting to show Halloween crafts and some are even starting Christmas crafts. WHEEEEE! I LOVE IT

I totally had forgotten how she used to call him that! Kinda fun to remember.....
