Our vacation

Lily Looking Cute! She actually let me DO her hair!

They love each other!

so we have been on vacation. It has been really nice. I think I actually had my perfect vacation on day! well except for the sleep part. but the rest of they day was perfect. I have some pics for you. I know I hardly ever put any on here. rebuke me if you want to. : )

Perfect day!

Well in some ways. One in particular. Today the weatehr was fantastic! The high was 81. Even in the sun I was not scorthed. And in the shade, Oh it was nice. perfect actually. I wanted to stay out side all day. and did a good portion of it. There was even a breeze. I wish the weather was like that all summer long. no cooler then 70's midday and not hotter then 80's. tomorrow is soposed to be the same. I am so excited!

what I am thinking about today....

I can't believe I just went to costco with my two kids alone. carried kelle in my arms while shopping and trying to keep lil in the cart. You should have seen the looks of pitty. and then got lunch and managed to eat it. That requires at least 4 extremely attentive hands. and I (becaue I was holding kelle) only had one very busy distracted hand. Kelle is teething and so she did not injoy it. but I did ad so did lily. ok a big part of the reason I injoyed it was because of the reactions we got, and it boosted my pride to do it by my self.
Also, I love my neighbors. they are the kindest people. even though some of them there is a big launguage barrier, I really injoy being with them. the wemon on either side of me and then the one two doors down, have served me and loved me and wanted to befriend me from the day I moved in.
and I am going to say it becuase so many other people are thinking it. Chinas gymnists are not 16. say what every you like. But I just don't beieve it.
Russia, Georgia and President Bush all need to calm down and stay out of war, preferably for ever, but at least till the olympics are over. there is my political rant. I should go do zumba (work out), or do laundry......alright over and out.
wht are you thinking about today??????

Twilight...

If you think you're invincible. don't.

my BIL had 3 strokes last week, they were not the kind from high blood pressure. but were the kind from blood clots in the artery to the brain that broke off and went three different directions.He is 34 years young. Please Pray For Him!!!
we (most of us) think we are "young, so it wont happen to me, or we are healthy, or i am righteous so i will be spared those trials." please please please, lets all take extra care of these fine bodies we have been given. yes i mean be healthy. but i also mean...listen to your body. pay attention to how you feel, and if you don't feel well and especially if you feel pain, your body is telling you that something is not right. If you take care and maintain good health, when the unexpected does happen you will be better prepared for a swift recovery.
because eventually the unexpected will happen.

For fun.

I like posting random things. Like I have recently. I don't knwo why. I think because its light hearted, or something like that. but this is the stuff that fills my head latly so this is what you get.
first. a few things that might surprize you about me.
I don't hate potatoes any more.
I swear in my head everytime I stub my toe (not proud of this)
I usually like cleaning other peopls houses. their dirt is not as dirty as mine.
I am scared of the water, the dark, and the unknown.
my dream vacation starts with going to sleep at like 9 or ten and waking up at like 6.
that leads me to the wrest of what I wanted to post.I have been thinking about my dream vacation at night as I am falling asleep. And here is it.

We go stay some place, preferably someone elses home, that is emaculatly clean and they will clean it, for me, oh and it is extremly organized too. my kids go to sleep at 9pm or maybe even 8pm. that last sentance is a major aspect of our vacation, if not the high light. Dev and I get some time to stay up together without the kids and either play video games together (we never get to do this becaue lily gets jelouse and takes over), or watch a movie and have some romantic time. but go to sleep by like 10pm. thats another hightlight. then my kids sleep through the night. I wake up at like 5 or 6 feeling completly rested. again that never happens. I have always wished I could be a morning person because they are so productive. but I have never woken up before 7:30 and felt good, let alone been in a remotly good mood. any way back to my vacation. I get in the shower, get to put on clean clothes that match, style my hair, put on make up and make breakfast, all before my kids wake up. once they wake up we eat, and get them dressed, brush their teeth and comb hair before 8am. then once all that has happend....I don't care what we do the rest of the day. they can plan that part.
*ok so there is a reason its a deam vacation......IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. its impossible. mostly because I am expecting rationale resonable things from a very independant and wild two year old and a baby. And by the time they are old enough to do the things I expect of them for this vacation to work...they will not want to be there or they will but they will want to do something else or this one will be missing her boy friend and the other one will be mad cause that one took her spot, and so on. Or else I wont sleep becaue they will have snuck out to meet some boys and I will have no idea where they are. I say that because thats what I did every time we went on vacation when i was a kid. oh well. gues I will have to move on to planning somehting else like my dream house or something.
