Life's tough when you're only 6

Just a cute picture of Kayla. I was trying to do her hair the other morning and she insisted on having to type on her laptop. What a rough life. I'd love for someone to do my hair while I was doing something else on the computer. Maybe I'd get more done that way.

Don't you just love freebies

I think this post should say.....Look.... we only spent x amount of money on this great shirt and got the braces for free! RIGHT. Not exactly how it works. It's more like we spent a bunch of money on the braces and got a free shirt to boot. What a deal. After Kyle got his braces last Tuesday the Dr's office gave him this free shirt. I came home and told Robert that it's the most expensive shirt that we have ever bought and it wasn't even for me.

Kyle is getting more and more used to them now. The first weeks was tough and eating with a sore mouth was even harder. He wasn't so happy the first day with the braces until he discovered that most of his friends at school have braces and that they have to wear them for about 2 years. Kyle only needs his for about 6 months. He's feeling much better about it now. He should be done by early to mid summer and then on to a retainer.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Well, I hate to admit it, but this was our first time ever as a family to actually stay up to celebrate New Years Eve. A good friend of ours invited us over for dinner and fun. Wouldn't you know it.....I didn't take my camera. So I'll have to ask her to send me some of the pictures. We had a wonderful time. Dinner was fabulous and the kids had fun playing with all the other kids at the party. Kayla started to fade on us around 11:40 p.m. but we got her up and moving and we all made it until midnight. What a night. It was a lot of fun.

Now the kids are back to school and I'm back to my normal daily routine. You know, cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands and then homework and study time. I love my life.

Hope you all enjoy the new look yet again on the blog. I'm not sure I'm completely in love with it. We'll see if it sticks around for a while or not.

Oh yeah, and by the way. My dear friend who had the goldfish competition with me earlier this year informed me that their last dear goldfish has passed away. So then it's official. Kyle is the winner of the goldfish competition. So sorry wendy for the loss in your family. But thanks all the same for the fun, fun competition.
