Where have I been?

It has been a long time since I posted anything so I thought I better let you all get caught up with us. Well, I haven't posted much because our computer has been not acting right so I can't post and see things on certain sites. I really hoping to get me a new little laptop soon. I really like Amber's little one. That size is perfect for me. Then Nate and I can sit side by side working on our laptops.

Lauren is doing fabulous, she is still loving first grade. School just had their Jump Rope for Heart and she was one of the top Jump Ropers! She is a jump rope fanatic now, everywhere she goes her and her friends take their jump rope and jump jump! It's cute and reminds me of me when I was younger and loved jumping rope! She has also finally learned how to ride her bike! She's so excited! Hopefully we can finish the school year strong, I think so even though it's getting harder at school, she still is doing well.

Meg is cracking us up still daily. I love all her sayings, I'm trying to remember to write some of them down as she says them to put in her scrapbook. One thing she says is "no way whosea" instead of no way jose! The other night it was storming out and lightning and she kept saying, "who's making those lights outside" I guess she doesn't remember lightning. She was into saying "actually" about everything but now she's moved on to "cept" "cept i didn't do it mommy". She's been sick though so we are back to doing breathing treatments. So we are really tired from not sleeping much this past week. I think she's getting better now.

Our Sweet Ella! My precious baby is sitting up, trying to crawl (which i've been stifling since december but i can't anymore she's determined to move) eating real food and saying "yaya, gaga and dada"! She is growing up quick! She is so stinkin cute though with her chubby legs and those cheeks to just eat up!

Valentine's day was fun, we had a family vday dinner and the girls loved it! I always make them heart shaped waffles and pancakes for breakfast. This year we had a steak dinner by candlelight and then i made heart shaped ramekins and then after that we had chocolate fondue and they dipped strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and graham crackers. It was a fun night.

My mom's in town this weekend and she and my sister are going to watch the girls so Nate and I can go out on a date! OHHHH, soooooooo nice! I can't wait to get away!

Here are a few pics of lately.
