Uh-oh

that is cheyenne's favorite word. she says it all the time. She will drop something on the floor on purpose just to say uh-oh. it is so funny and so cute. she is starting to say more words, although you really have to interpert them. Today she said.."Hello Sally" and she said it like three times. IF you all don't know Sally is the lady that watches her every morning at the Y. And when she leaves the daycare in the afternoon (a different one from Sally, where there is a dog) she always says bye bye puppy!! it is so cute!!!

Can you tell???

Can you tell that I am getting busy? I haven't posted anything all week, and the reason is, this is the first time I have really sat down at my computer. I have been working full time now...which really isn't that bad, I actually like it...(granted I just got paid yesterday) and youth group has started this week, and it went great yesterday!! we had 40 kids at the high school youth group!!!! that is the most they have ever had!! it was awesome, and worship with themwas so good, they actually sang and got into it. We are so excited to see what God is going to do this year with all those kids. And I kind of realized something today...even though summer doesn't really mean that much to me....aka I don't get off of work, i don't have kids in school, life really doesn't change drastically...it really does get busier in the fall, even if you aren't involved in school. crazy...okay g2g. have a great day all!!!! enjoy the awesome weather

Blessing in Disguise

okay first of all i don't know how to spell disguise...so don't laugh. Today I went into work with a full agenda. I had clients at 8 and 10 and a lot of other stuff to do. Well I showed up about 7:50 and waited for the daycare to open..(suppose to open at 8) while I waited and waited and waited and waited. the daycare lady never came, I stayed till about 9:00 making phone calls and doing little stuff, and then since there was no daycare, I left. Now I have the morning off....what to do, I just don't know, I am gonna sit here on the internet and just enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet, while cheyenne sleeps!!

pictures

She is so funny when she sleeps, just plops down and is out...she plays so hard, and gets so tired

Why does she have to hate the water???? We went to the pool, and she wouldn't touch the water without screaming.......is she really my child??? :)

Poor little girl, check out the mullet she is styling....it is so funny, and I don't want to cut her hair, so she is just gonna be a hillbilly for a while!!!

I absolutly love this picture.....I think it is one of the cutest ones I got.......thanks mom for sending it to me!!!

How?

How do you teach a one year old not to hit. How do you teach her to share, and not to be violant? Today at daycare, she was hitting everyone, like hard, and anytime someone would play with a toy she liked, she would hit them. She even hit the babysitter!! What do I do? She is only a year old, how do you teach her that it is wrong? Is she old enough now for time outs and stuff like that? Does she know what she is doing or is it just instinct? Man I got a spoiled brat for a kid...ahhhhhhhhhhh

This is Exciting

So I had a what you may call esteem booster the other day. These are nice to get every now and then, but you have to make sure that they don't go to your head. So here is the story that has made me feel good all week. One of the girls from our youth group, who graduated this past spring and has now moved about 1.5 hours away for college, her family is going to the cubs game Labor Day weekend, and each kid got an extra ticket to take a friend. And out of all the poeple she could have chosen.....she chose me! It just feels kind of nice that even though we have only been here less than a year, we are impacting people's lives and making friends and connections. So I get to go experiance Wrigley Feild, for the first time in my life!! yeah! oh and dave doesn't get to go....not gonna lie, he is kinda jealous! :)

Sorry

I know I promised a picture on Tuesday, and today is Sunday and I am finally posting it. This week has been really busy. I picked up more hours at work, and now i am working 40+ hours, so it is a little adjustment to my life. and then yesterday we went to six flags and it like rained almost all day and the costers kept getting shut down....anyway that is a totally different story. I know you all have been waiting..so here it is, the picture of my new haircut!!!! okay its not the greatest pic, but its hard to take a pic of yourself and get a good one

I did it

I finally got my hair cut. It was such a long time since I have had a good cut, and I think I got one. I love not having the feelinf of hair hanging down my neck, and I love not having to wear a pon ytail to work everyday. I will post a pic of it soon...as soon as the batteries to the camera get charged! then you can all tell me how gorgous I am!! :) hahaha jk

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary to Dave and I!! It have been two years today. It seems like such a long time, but then sometimes it feels like yesterday. We have been through a lot in the past two years, and I think that it has brought us even closer than we were. I love him so much, and can't wait to see what the next two/twenty years are gonna throw at us. Now I am not telling you it has been easy, not at all, this have been probably the hardest two years I have ever lived, and without Dave I wouldn't have made it at all. He is so strong and has so much trust in the Lord, I have learned so much from him. He's great!!!!

Is is that time already???

I can't believe how fast time goes by, really I mean, I feel like we just had the superbowl, and now football is back!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! I am sitting on my couch watching the first bears game of the pre-season. IT's not even the real season, and we are watching it!!! now come on, how come the off season is so short, and now football is going to take up dave's life!! he already has got his fanatsy stuff all set up, and is buying magazines, and doing 'research' anybody else have husbands or boyfriends totally obssesed with football??? its gonna be a looooong winter

i thought my blog dissapered

So I went to sign in this morning and they said that my account didn't exsist, and then I just tryed to type in my blog address and they said it didn't exsist...I was starting to make a new one, when it started working again......i was freaking out, but now I am okay!! weird computers

I love my job but ahhhhhhh

I am so stressed out right now!! I got all this new responcibilites at work, which is good, but aslo sucks...as you ahve already heard. But now I have to type up this huge statistical report about how well my program is going. I did not sign up for a office job, and lately it seems like I have so much computer work to do, its not even funny. So I have this huge report to type up, and the meeting is tomorrow, and on top of all that, my family is coming to visit tomorrow, and the house is just a mess. I don't know if I am going to get it all done. Why does life have to be so stressful....I love my job, I love what I do, but there are parts of it, that I do not like! This is one of them. I don't even know how to write a profressional report with statsitcs and all that crap...I never took that class in college!! :) Well I guess I should stop procrastinating.

work work work

Do you ever feel under-appreciated? That is how I am feeling at work right now. I have all these responsibilities and do a lot for the Y, and I get nothing in return. In fact I get 'talked to'. Now my boss is never around enough to see what I do day in and day out, in fact he is rarely there when I am there, so I don't see how he can 'talk' to me because he just doesn't know. So I am out to prove him wrong! He is making me give evaluations to all my clients to fill out about me, and so far they have all come back totally positive...everyone who I work with, loves me!! (which makes me feel really good, and makes me want to work harder) but hopefully it will show my boss that I am working hard, and that I am doing a lot even if he doesn't notice. I love my job, but there are some things that are just soooooo frustratin!! While speaking of work, I have to go do some right now.....:(

This Sucks

So the flu has hit this family pretty hard. Cheyenne started all the drama on Tuesday night, and then Dave continued it yesterday, and then finally I got it late last night. I don't remember how much being sick really stinks!! I have been in bed all day pretty much and to tell you the truth, I still have my paiamas on! The one good thing about today is that Cheyenne is so tired that she has been literally sleeping all day. She gets up to eat, and thats about it. So that has given me time to sleep. PS..I really like typing, I could go on and on about things becasue I just don't want to stop typing, its so fun!! Okay I am really weird, I think I need some food in my stomache! ok good bye I guess I am going to stop now.

Painting!

We are painting the youth center! We started on the walls yesterday, and the kids have come up with some great ideas, and it is looking great!! I am so excited for the whole building to get done, and to see how it will look. It will be such a awesome addition to the community, and the kids are really gonna love it..at leat thats what I pray. And guess what theme it is....okay the real theme is 'walking on water' but it is gonna look like an island paradise...there is a beach roon, that has real sand painted into the floor!! It is sooo cool. Even though I live so far from the beach and can't really go at al (which makes me very sad) I can just go downstairs and sit in the beach room and look at palm trees and sand and water. I know its not the same, but you know its better than nothing!!!!

Off to Spin

So it is Thursday, and I am about to go to the Y to take a spin class. This is only the second time I will take the class, and the first time was Tuesday, and they made me TEACH it!!! I had no idea what I was doing, so I made some stuff up, and was pretty much dying and could barely talk because I was so out of breath and sweaty. Then my pants ripped!!!!! seriously I am not making this up. and the mirror is behind me...(cause I am teaching) So my butt is like hanging out for the world to see!! It was so embarrassing. So I am gonna give the class another try, but I am praying that the real teacher shows up today. PS. what is an embarrassing thing that you have had happen lately?

Poor Baby :(

It has been a loooooong night. Poor Cheyenne was up almost all night sick. And let me tell you it was discusting!!! She must of had some spoiled milk or something that didn't agree with her stomach because she threw up pretty much everything she ate yesterday. It was so sad, and so gross. I pretty much gagged through the whole thing. we would just lie on the couch with a bowl, and wait for the next explosion. But she seems to be doing better this morning, I stayed home from work this morning to be with her. So yeah that was my night....fun fun fun.!!!
