Wow, it's been a while!

We've been busy I guess... what's been new? Well Saturday Jared was supposed to go to swimming lessons, instead we had to take him to the doctors. It seems the little man has pink eye! He's fine but he was soo mad he couldn't go to swimming lessons. Sunday we hung out as a family. We went to lunch/breakfast and then went home for a bit and then Mike told me I could get a new bed. I've been wanting a new bed (headboard/foot board) for well as long as we've been together (7 years) and so we went shopping. We found one at Pier 1 and I love it and I'll have it in my room this afternoon. He also got me a new bed spread to... seems like he's kissing butt doesn't it! (just kidding)

Because Jared has pink eye Tara decided not to bring Dylan today. So Anna and I got up at 6:30am and we just played and had breakfast. She just went down for her morning nap and I'm here blogging. Jared is sleeping and in a little bit I'm going to call his school and see if he's even able to go. It sucks because he only has 2 weeks left of school so I really hope he'll be able to make it.

And on that note, JARED HAS 2 WEEKS LEFT OF SCHOOL! I am so excited. I love his school and I love that he's learning and becoming such a big boy. However this year has been taxing with watching Dylan and Jared only going to school for 2 1/2 hours.. next year he'll be going full days so it'll make our lives easier!

Ok so I'm gonna go, again I have no photo's to post. My mom has my card for my camera and I'm just waiting for her to put the pics on a disk and then I'll be taking more pics! Enjoy your Monday!

My daughter the teether!

I wasn't gonna post anything today until.... I felt inside little Annalise's mouth and what to my amazing wonder was a- TOOTH! I felt it just out of the gums, maybe that's why we've been having such a horrible couple days/weeks.

So there it is my little baby now has a tooth and the teething fun begins. I never had any problems with Jared with teething and nursing... I just have a feeling it's gonna be different with Anna and I'M SCARED!

Welp off to tend to the kids!

Nothing new!

Well the kids just went down for their morning naps... today it seems they are sorta on the same schedule. The boys are sleeping, the girls are sleeping, what's a mommy to do?

I honestly have nothing new to blog about, sometimes it seems as if my days are all the same.

I guess the only thing new is Mike is looking for a new job, I guess he's getting bored of working at the same place for over 8 years. We've tossed the idea of moving down to Olympia to be closer to his family but also because the cost of living is cheaper down there. With the way things are right now somethings got to give. I guess we've just decided to put it out there and if it's meant to be then it's meant to be. We've sorta lived our lives like that so whats it gonna hurt?

Jared is doing alright, he's been a little emotional lately and I'm not sure why. Jared and I really really have to do a "mommy and me day!" We've been talking and talking about it but finding the time is hard. His teeth are doing much better and he's been a little trooper about brushing and not eating or drinking things with a lot of sugar.

Annalise wants to crawl so bad, she tries and tries but just can't figure out how to get her one leg flipped around and balance her heavy weight. She is going through separation anxiety pretty bad right now, I can't freaking leave the room with out a melt down from her. I read on Parent Center that all babies go through it some worse than others (about this time). If I remember correctly Dylan did the same thing around this stage to.

Nothing new with me, same ole same ole.

When the Daddy's gone...

So Mike was gone all weekend and I guess by the top picture Jared was pretty tired. Mommy doesn't let kids sleep till all ours of the day!!! (mean mommy that I am)... no honestly we were pretty busy so I think he was tired! Obviously Saturday we went to the Zoo, Sunday we went shopping and hung out at Auntie's house, and Monday we got up early to go to breakfast!

Annalise is changing a ton... she is so funny and wanting to move around so much. My children are my life and I love them so much!

Back to our regular scheduled week until Jared goes on summer break which I'm sooo excited about! Oh and have I mentioned that Dylan is WALKING?

The day at the zoo!

It's funny I was looking at the picture of me and the kids and I was totally weirded out by the fact that I am a mother of two. Does that seem weird to anyone else? I have the most BEAUTIFUL babies ever!!! Thanks Mom for such a fun filled day!

Our Saturday!

So yesterday was a crazy day... I think that my mom and I didn't really think about what we were going to get ourselves into. It sounded like a good idea, but we also didn't think about who was coming along with us!

We went to the Zoo, but first we had to make a quick pit stop. Target! We had to get a hat for Anna and a different shirt for me and then we ended up getting Jared a shirt to. The problem with that pit stop was the fact that it's not what was on Jared's agenda so he was all sorts of angry. We should have known then what the rest of the day would have been like. :) Ok so after Target we were all hungry and we really couldn't decide where we were going to eat we just knew it wasn't going to be at the zoo, it's so expensive. We decided, well because it's our most favoritest place to go to... Port of Subs, we went back to the one we went to when we lived in Mountlake Terrace back when I was 5.

I swear that my son has ADD, he could not sit still the whole time we were eating. Anyway after eating off we went. Yeah so did I mention that this is Memorial Weekend, never crossed our minds! We got off the freeway and then we should have known how bad it was gonna be. The line to the zoo was all the way to the freeway entrance, it took us probably a 1/2 hour or more to get to the parking lot only to find there was no parking. My mother and I wanted to give up then, we wanted to go to the Seattle Aquarium... but again that little boy of mine (my mom can't say no). We drove down some side streets about 3 or so blocks and squished into some place to park. Off we went!

Another thing I may not have mentioned is that the Zoo is one of favorite places to go. Last year a girl from work gave me a year membership pass to the zoo for me and my family. So we went a few times but had already been a ton of times before. However this time, this Saturday was Annalise's first trip. We've been to this zoo a ton so I had a feeling Jared wouldn't be to interested. He honestly has the attention span of a fly. We started off and it was crazy busy, the first 5 animals we went to see were sleeping (it was a little warm for them I guess). Jared was already talking about how he wanted to buy a toy at the zoo store, HERE WE GO! We walked some more and walked some more he wasn't interested in looking at the animals. Annalise wasn't feeling well so she was sleeping, again so much fun. The people at the zoo are rude and just don't care of others around them, SO MUCH FUN! We had some ice cream after Jared continued to keep saying he wanted some. Anna woke up we ended up at the petting animals part. Anna loved the goats and really loved the mini horses. She got to pet the goats and I got some pictures. I'm waiting for my mom to email them to me so I'll post them once I get them. (if you are reading this send them over!)

So anyway I don't really know how to sum up the whole zoo thing, but I'm thinking the zoo thing is done. We have honestly seen every animal at that zoo way more than once.... we need to find something new to do! After the zoo we headed to dinner. In all though HONESTLY it was fun, it seems sometimes only the annoying or hard times stick out in my mind. I have been negative lately so that's my problem. Annalise was so good the whole time and it was super nice outside and so much fun to get out in the sun and just enjoy life, I really haven't been doing that a ton lately! I have a lot on my mind sometimes it just feels so foggy.

Whelp I REALLY REALLY need to clean my house. Anna just went down for a nap, Jared is playing Wii so I should do something with myself. Mike is gone till Tuesday and I should say it's so tough with him being gone but honestly he isn't around a ton with work and all so it's nothing new to me! I promise that I will post pics of the zoo once I get them!

I don't know what's going on!
