This year so far

Gosh, It's already the second to the last week of January. 2009 is well underway and I haven't done jack on my blog. I swear, why is that? I guess you could say that things have been a little crazed since we rung in the New Year!

Moving forward as we should say, here are some important Highlights worth mentioning.

1. Becca and Jillian, much to Grandma's dismay, have started going to a daycare part time. Lets face it, two kids at that age are a hand full and even the best Grandma's need a little break, so, Thursday's and Friday's the girls are off to Lisette's for a day of fun. Now, let me just say that a particular mother was a nervous wreck the week beforehand. Why you ask? Well, for those of you that have never met Becca, she is me all wrapped up in one. And, we fret change. Change of any kind! So, me, being the assertive mother I am, was worried sick about the first day. Well, it has begun. Becca had proved me wrong and taken on Day Care like it's an old favorite toy. I mean, Holly Heck, she doesn't want to leave she is having so much fun. THANK GOD! (She woke up this morning asking to go, HELLO)

2. More on Becca, she turned 2! She is sooooooo grown up that it breaks me heart at times. It's flying by people, so just hang on!

3. Jillian is growing like a stink weed. She is a whopping 19lbs 5oz and 28 inches long. She perfectly perfect in every way! Not to mention, she has just about the sweetest dimples on the planet!

4. Auntie Sheshe inches that much closer to 30 turning 29 over the weekend. Becca had fun unwrapping presents for her.

5. All this birthday cake is sabotaging my diet! Damm.

6. Some of our dearest friends have lost loved ones in 2009. So it's already been a year of healing and support.

7. We have a new pres. Who knows what that means. (Sorry for my scepticism on that one).

8. Travis and I still have jobs, and that's saying alot right now!

Overall, this is going to be a year with lots of changes and while it's nerve raking to me, I'm going to try and take them head on like Becca did. I mean really, it's not all that bad when you have what's really important. So, enjoy the Simple Pleasures. It's what I'm going to do.

We had spirit....

But they just didn't show up for the game. Our Bronco's came as the Donkey's last weekend, but we still love our orange and blue anyways.

We hope you all had a wonderful New Years Eve. Ours was a little messy with both of the girls getting the stomach flu at about 10pm. We hadn't intended on staying up till midnight, but I think we pulled off a longer night that most partiers, going to bed at a very early 4am in the morning.

We are on the road to recovery though, and gearing up for getting back to work and normal and birthday's galore.

LOVE and Hugs to all in 2009!
