No, you're not dreaming!

That's right everyone - a new post from me! I am sorry for being gone so long. Truth be told, I was busy doing other things, like quilting, exercising, and oh, did I mention my 8 day cruise in the Caribbean. I guess not, seeing as my last entry was Jan. 3. Sheesh, I really am a slacker.

So, I'll try to catch up. Let's see, on January 4th....just kidding. Abbreviated version: Right around the time of my last entry, Dan and I decided that we needed to drop a few lbs before we went on this family vacation. We were both pretty successful, although I still need to keep it up. Having two babies in two years did my body zero favors:) We watched what we ate, cut out pizza (sniff sniff) and for Dan, Carl's Jr. We didn't drink any soda and didn't have any desserts or sweets. We also worked out as much as we could. That's not always easy with Kailey and Owen running around, not to mention, dinner that needs to be cooked, a house that needs to be clean, and bills that need to be paid. We would often joke that it's a shame we couldn't be paid to work out. I mean how nice would that be? So anyway, that's that. I also took up quilting as a hobby. Dan bought me a sewing machine for Christmas, so I've been busy with that. I'll post some pics of my projects, so you can see how awesome I am. Just kidding, I am definitely a beginner, but it's been a lot of fun!
Kailey and Owen are doing great. Owen is now 9 mos old and Kailey will be two the end of April. Oh yeah, that reminds me of something else that has been taking up my time. See I couldn't very well get on my computer when a lot of my time has been spent on the potty. No, not me, but Kailey. Of course, I've been right by her side, encouraging every little drop of pee or every piece...okay, I'll stop. That's right, Kailey's potty trained. I can't even remember when it started, but I bet it's almost been two months now. Although, #2 was a LONG time coming. In fact, I bet we're on week two of poo in the potty. It is so nice though! I love not having to change two sets of diapers multiple times a day. She's such a big girl. Her vocabulary is growing daily, and it's so fun for Dan and me to converse with her and hear what interesting things she'll mimic and learn each new day. She really is the biggest joy in our life. Owie is doing great. He has been walking around furniture for a while now, and can use those walkers really well. It sure will be nice to have him walking. He loves music - Kailey is always wanting to have a dance party and he just bops along.

Well I just got pulled away from this to help Kailey with something, and then Owie starting whining, so I decided it's nap time for both of them. Maybe now I'll actually be able to concentrate on this entry. I'm sure it's a mess. I need to talk about my cruise too, but that will be a separate entry. I've got to go through my pics and figure out which ones I want to use. So until then!
