wii just want to party!

As our tax return has come and gone Chris and I decided it would be allot of fun to break down and buy a wii. Not just fun....it's a blast. I really didn't expect my three year old to catch on and have so much fun with it. We like to box each other and it's so funny to just listen as Bree screams at her dad "who's on the ground now!" I had to break out the video camera just to capture the tender moment. The best part of all of it is Chris and I REALLY try and still get beat out by her. (me more than him) Most of our greatest times together are just hanging out at the house and now with our little addition we can really beat each other up when we need to get out some aggression!

Her other favorite games is bowling. She hasn't mastered her technique on this quite as well, in fact she throws the ball behind her every other try but she has a great time with it and she loves to count the pins that she knocked over.

Chris and I like to compete on the wii fit and as most of you know he is very active in working out and me...not so much. But I will have you know that i beat him out in just about every wii fit activity.

Thank you Nintendo for making such a fun and active family entertainment system wii love to play!

Four years have now come and gone and the other day at work one of the girls asked "so what has changed in four years?"

That got me thinking. Really allot has changed, we have changed. We are parents, and I never imagined that we would be a militray family. We have a stronger relationship. I hear so many people say I love him as much as the day i married him.... I don't. I love him more. I love him deeper. My world is different because of him, be cause of us. If you would have stopped me on the street five years ago and asked me where my life would be today I guarentee this would not be my answer.... mainly because i didn't even know Chris five years ago.

I can't help thinking all the time that the second Chris came into my life a new light started to shine. A newness that i didn't know there was, a love I didn't know could could exist. I am so blessed to have met him and I am lucky he decided to love me and ask me to be his wife. The best decision i ever made in life was to say yes! Four years later I wouldn't change a thing.

Yes allot has changed, but so much is the same. So much of our lives will never change.

Drama Always Follows

What is it thats makes women so crazy?
Why does there have to be drama?
Why do we stir the pot?
How do guys stand it?!

I like to avoid drama...all if possible. There however seem to be some of our wonderful sex who can't stand to have a portion of their lives drama free. They always end up in my life. Am I a magnet of these drama queens? What do I have to do to avoid such girls? At work I maintain the idea that I am there to work not make friends. I have made lasting friendships with a choice few...very choice and very few. My work tends to be the meeting place of the drama queens of America (maybe I should choose a new profession) they gather, they chat, they quarrel, they backstab. This store is much worse than any I have been in.

So apperently when you don't use it you loose it, or in my case when you forget what name you put it under it gets lost in the spaces of the blogging world. whatever the reasons i'm now starting fresh with my blogs.

So we have had a busy new year. Bree has started going to preschool/daycare and is loving it. I laugh as each day she teaches me new cooky songs.... Miss Suzy had a baby his name was tiny tim she put him in the bath tub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the bathwater he drank up all the soap he tried to drink the bath tub it got caught in his throught.... yeah it took me a minute to process what she was singing. I can't believe how big she has gotten. She amazes me daily with her insights.

We have had allot of rain lately which is so weird for So Cal but the other day Chris decided it would be fun to let bree go out and play in the rain. She was so angelic looking up as the rain came down on her face. I could watch her play for hours. I'm so grateful for the simple days when we are able to share small moments of perfection.
