Yesterday morning, Amy and Seth had a conversation. Amy asked Seth if he would be her baby FOREVER! He said no because he wants to be a daddy. Amy asked how many children does he want? Seth said 3 and Amy said how about 10 children? He said no, I might not remember their names.

Trevor celebrated his FIRST birthday on February 12th! We had a little party that night. He liked the cupcake. I will post video and pictures sometime this weekend.

Amy, Seth, Rylie and I are going to Monster Jam today! Seth has been looking forward to it for sooo long!!! He is going to love it! I am not sure about Rylie but I think she will do okay. We are going to borrow my dad's headphones so it won't hurt their ears.

My mom went back to the hospital last week and is still there! Heather and I visited her last night. She had busted appendix and the doctor removed it. She stayed for few days and went home. She had to go back since she couldn't breathe so they found that she had fluid in one of her lung and it collapsed. They put a big tube in her so it can be drained out. Well, all the fluid wouldn't come out so doctor did a procedure on Wednesday and it didn't work so they had to do surgery on Thursday to get the fluid out. She spent some time in the ICU and is in regular room last night. She is in pain and is hoping she is getting better not worse! We hope she will finally be able to come home on Monday or Tuesday!

Happy Valentine Day to you all!!!!!

I had good long weekend! Amy and kids came and visit with me on Friday. It was only hour and half drive. It was great to see them! I am trying to catch up with my sleep! Only slept 5 to 6 hours per night while I was away. I was chaperoning 11 girls. The girls were great and I really enjoyed them! I am happy to be back in my own bed and bathroom! I admit I do have OCD when it comes to bathroom! I can't stand hair or dirty in sight!

I just found out this morning that my mom had emergency surgery last night! The doctor had to remove her infected appendix. She has to stay at the hospital til tomorrow or Friday since it was very infected and wanted to see if it hasn't spread in her body. We will go see her this afternoon. Hope she will be okay.

Seth has his last basketball game this Saturday. He had his last practice last night and I see he has improved some. He is ready for basketball to be finished. I think I am going to sign him up for indoor soccer if they allow 4 years old.

Wednesday, I will be going out of town for 4 nights and 5 days! I will be working. It will be the first time I am away from Rylie! We have never been apart! I am going to miss my babies! I hope I will be okay! There will probably be some times when I feel homesick! BUT when the paycheck comes, I will be glad I went! Amy will be taking two days off from work so she can spend some time with the kids while I am away! I know she is looking forward to it.

Seth is off from school for three days this week! He is very happy about that! He likes school but much prefer stay home! We can't believe he will be in kindergarten this Fall! He will be 5 in 4 more months! I look at him sometimes and wonder where time went! Our first born son is growing up too fast! He is now trying to read and identify words. He loves to do his homework. His teacher has said he is very interested in trying to read. We are very proud of him!

Rylie... We hope she will be going to pre-k this October. I have to apply in Feb to hold a spot for her. The 4 years olds are free but for 3 years olds, we have to pay. We are thinking about Mon, Wed and Fri for her. She can't go til she turns 3 which means she can't go when school opens but wait til Oct 3rd. I think she will love school. When I take Seth, she wants to stay.

Hope everyone is in good health! Everyone has been sick! I had the 24 hr stomach virus last week. I threw up more than 10 times! That was not fun!

Stay warm!

14 YEARS!!!

Amy,

Thank you for putting up with me!

Thank you for your patience!

Thank you for giving me two beautiful and wonderful kids!

Thank you for being you!

I love you with all my heart! xoxoxoxo

Christmas

We had good Christmas this year! We had to wake Seth and Rylie up since we were on schedule! They tiptoe into living room and saw what Santa got them. Santa was good and gave Seth and Rylie some new toys! Seth said his favorite gifts were bat cave and truck with trailer. He also loves his digital camera. Rylie hasn't shown any favorites yet. They got new movies. "The Cat in the Hat" is their favorite. They have seen it several times already! We had busy Christmas eve and day! Christmas eve, we went to Dada's house to visit for short time then we went to Amy's grandma for dinner. Got home around 9:30. We went to my grandma for Christmas lunch then on to Granna's house. After that, we went to Heather and Maryrose's for Christmas dinner! We all were very tired by Friday and stayed home for 2 days!

Rylie's FIRST haircut!!!

Before first haircut

After first haircut

We took Rylie to her very FIRST haircut! Her hair was getting out of control and couldn't do anything to it. We were amazed she did not even cry or fight to get her haircut. She was awesome! When Seth had his first haircut, he cried and cried!!! Seth had his at 15 months old. Rylie got hers at 26 months. She looks so cute!!! like a little girl!

Seth usually goes to a barber but he wanted one yesterday since he wanted to sit in a firetruck.
