So...Saturday was my 10 year high school reunion...

Yep! I do have to say it makes me feel a little old...but not too old! :) I snapped a few pics, but haven't downloaded them yet. It was something that I don't think I would have ever known how to expect for, if that makes any sense. Almost everyone I asked said that they were nervous somewhat before they showed up! Haha! Why is that? We are 10 years removed from highschool and we still have some sort of need for the positive affirmation and connection with these people with whom we have mostly lost contact with! Sort of strange, if I do say so myself, but I too was nervous before I went. :) I told Lee I had butterflies on my way in the car! I did have a great time! Lee knew a few people, in particular a good friend of mine (Amanda) called to let me know they would be going and our hubby's know each other! That worked out well since neither of them went to our highschool! :) Even they had a great time!!! They are such great sports! :)

My biggest complaint was...my SHOES!!! They were soooooo cute, and they really helped me out since my pants were a little on the long side, but man, my feet were killing me! I think they have 2 inch heels or maybe taller! I know, all you heels wearing girls out there, I have no idea what I'm doing in those shoes! I will take a pic of them too, since I know you who know me well will love to laugh as you envision me hobbling up the sidewalk at the end of the evening! ;) I think I possibly looked like I had had too much to drink when in actuality...we had Coca Cola! :) I really just ended up taking off the heels in the middle of a few conversations so I could rest my feet. I was wondering what the people thought behind me, seeing my head bobbing up and down! I informed those in the conversation that I was about to shrink, so they were well informed, but... :) Is this a girly faux pas? Oh, well! Maybe this will help someone who is about to make the same mistake...okay, I think I would have worn them again, but does anyone have any tips on how to prevent your toes from cramping and nearly falling asleep? J/K I just measured the heels...ya, 4 inches! No wonder! It was different being taller, though! :) Crazy!

Well, enough about my shoes! I did have so much fun! :) I brought a little book of recent pics of the kiddos so that I could show them to anyone who cared to see them! :) It was really a surreal event! A few de ja vu moments, just looking at who was hanging out and stuff! Everyone had changed so much, but stayed the same in a lot of ways! One of my favorite things about the night was that I tried out one of the sample "looks" from my Mary Kay kit, and I figured out what foundation to wear! It was my first time to wear foundation!!! :) I have been using a cream to powder (which I love as well), but foundation is neato! ;) The colors from the look I picked were darker and browner than what I normally wear, but they were GORGEOUS!!! Fun for a little extra drama...which exactly describes a 10 Year High School Reunion! ;) Hehe!

All in all it was a fun filled evening full of adventures and surprises!!! One girl said that she had brought some flip flops just in case she needed them and I was sooooo close to asking her to borrow them! :) No, I'm glad I wore my cute shoes! I just hope that I'll forget the pain soon so that I can get my money's worth from them! ;) I am really very glad that we went! I just wish I could have talked more people! If you were out there and thought I didn't want to talk to people and that's why I didn't walk around and mingle much, just come back and check out the shoes when they are posted! ;)

Oy, I still need to get the pics up from last weekend's anniversary rendevous! Okay, I'll get everything all figured out! :)

Pictures coming soon...

Sweet Little Lenci...TWO!!!

So...Lenci's birthday is coming up on Saturday, which is technically tomorrow, since it's so late!!! I will look for some great pics of her from birth to now!!! She's going to be TWO!!! I cannot believe how fast time goes!!! My two big girls!!!

Lenci is such a sweet little girl!!! She is already developing into one of the most caring little hearts on the planet!!! She is sooo sensitive, but that makes her the first to comfort her siblings and me, or anyone for that matter, if it looks like they're upset!!! She's sooo cute when she's watching something sad, even if it's on a movie or a show, she's all pouty!!! She really feels it all!!! One of my favorite things that she does right now...she pretends to be a kitten!!! She will do anything we want her to do if we say "here kitty, kitty!" It's soooo hillarious!!!

One day, she was really giving me hard time! We were just trying to get everyone out the door, shoes, clothes, clean diapers and all!!! She wanted to wear her plastic leopard high heels to the store...I wanted her to wear her pink and white sandals!!! My sister in law, Susan and I got the sandals on (with a minor struggle) and 2 seconds later, after I made sure my checklist (imaginary) was complete, I look up and she has them off again!!! I was about to get really upset when I thought, let me try one last resort!!! I said, "Here kitty, kitty. Come get your sandals on! These are kitty sandals!!!" To my amazement and surprize, she comes crawling in, mewing like a little kitten and let me put on the sandals (as I was laughing under my breath, histerically) with no struggle whatsoever!!! We were ALL laughing, Zoe included!!! Zoe was looking on in just as much disbelief as we were!!! I was definitely thankful then for our little silly kitty who is sooo easily distracted into her little sandals (that really have nothing to do with kitty's)!!!

Just a random kodak moment!!!


We have just gotten her big girl trundel out from under her sisters bed. She was climbing on her crib about two days ago for the first time and that made me nervous, so we just rearranged the room last night to make it have 2 twin beds instead of one with hers tucked under. No more crib for her and she's doing great!!! Last night she only had to have a few reprimends and she stayed in bed, and tonight she didn't have any problem at all!!! She didn't get her nap in today since we had two aunts come over, so that helped in the fact that she fell asleep tonight within the first 10 minutes of plopping in bed!!! She looks soooo little in her BIG GIRL BED!!! It's sooo cute!!! I will post some pics of her in it as soon as possible!!! :)

Oh, and another funny kitty thing she does...she fake licks, with sound effects and all, and she rubs her head on you like a real cat does!!! It's sooooo hillarious to watch!!! We just laugh and laugh and laugh!!! And then if you ask her a question while she's pretending to be a kitty, she answers in her high pitched kitty voice!!! :) Maybe I can figure out how to get a video of it on to this blog!!! :) Such a funny little girl with a HUGE imagination!!!

Here she is with her little baby doll!!! I think this is her idea of having her own little baby sling...she tucks her babies into her shirts!!! Maybe it's a threefold thing: being pregnant, nursing, and a baby sling!!! ;) So cute!!!

Caught!!!

This is from the day that I found Lenci in my bed!!! I think they really thought that our bed looked inviting!!!





They are too cute!!! Sweet sisters!!!





Here's another great picture of my sweet girlies!!! This is a cute memory!!!
