Welcome to our blog!!

Hi Everyone!!! Well a few of you have started blogs and I liked them soo much that I decided to copy you and start one myself!!! Let me start by saying if you're looking for action, adventure and non-stop thrills you've come to the wrong place!! None of that here just updates on family life in our house!! So I guess I'll start with the youngest first!!!



Marcus: Well much to my dismay he is still showing ZERO interest in sitting on the potty for more than 2 seconds at a time, thwarting my efforts to have him completely potty trained by his 3rd birthday which is only a month away!! Other than that he's still our sweet little daredevil. Fearless and loving as ever. His personality is developing more and more each day and he just makes us laugh soo much!!! He lives up to his hairstyle being the toughest 2 year old I have yet to meet. He was running the other day and TOTALLY ate it on the sidewalk, and instead of crying and waiting to be picked up which is exactally what Jailyn would have done at that age he popped right up, dusted himself off and kept right on going!! Clumbsy but tough!! He (like his sister although his is not as bad as hers) is also developing quite a stubborn streak! I don't know where they get it!! It must be from JR!! hehehe!!!



Jailyn: Well our little girl whose not so little anymore is doing good!!! She's really busy but I like it that way at least she's staying active!! Right now she's doing Gymnastics, Softball and Ballet. She's not too happy about softball, but we want her to keep with it through the season then she can quit!! SHe has her 1st game this Saturday so we'll see how it goes. We had our first parent teacher conference in January. It went REALLY well!! Turns out our shy little girl is anything but shy when it comes to school. Her teacher says she's very comfortable and confident in class, that she is the leader in her class the one the other kids look to for help. She also said she's in the top of her class in reading and language arts!! She's already reading like CRAZY!!! She gets her smarts from me of course!! and a little from JR because she's good in math too and we all know that's not my strong suit!!! She's Loving Ballet as always getting ready for her big recital in April. She's having fun in Gymnastics too. She's not that coordinated right now but I'm hoping that the more she practices the better she'll get!!! We FINALLY got her to stop wearing pullups to sleep at night last month!!! The doctor said she would catch up eventually and just all of the sudden one day she did!!! Now we just need to get her to sleep on her own and we'll be set!!!!


JR and I: Well the biggest news for the 2 of us is that we have started weight watchers!! We started Back on January 23 and so I've lost 10 lbs and JR is down 16 lbs!!!! These are our Before pics. stayed tuned for the After pics they are going to be GREAT!!!!
Well that's all for now I'll keep you updated as much as I can!!! Take Care!!!

Love the new blog. These things are great because it saves you from calling or emailing everyone and if they don't check it, too bad for them. :) I will check back frequently.
