So it has been a while since our last post. It feels like life is flying by at high rate of speed!

So what is new... Well the holidays are over (thank god) and I thought all was going to be calm for a while. Well, I was wrong. My brother inlaw Matt, proposed to one of my closest friends last Sunday. I couldn't be more excited. Their wedding is planned for Saturday Aug 15th 2008. OMG, that is only 7 months away! I was asked to be a bridesmaid in the wedding, and I am thrilled. It is so awsome to have a best friend become your sister inlaw! I also have 2 other weddings this year, and 3 of my friends are having babies! Yay for a fun year.

Ok the kids... Ohhhh the kids! Everyday is something new with Hunter and Holly. Hunter is getting enrolled for kindergaten all ready, b/c the private school we are sending him to has a wait list. This is so sad to me. My baby already enrolled for school? Anyways, he starts preschool in the fall at a Montessori school in Lake St.Louis Mo. He is very ready!

Holly is getting more and more girlie everyday. She is such a tease. She knows how to get what she wants already. The lady that does her Parents as teachers says her vocabulary is on the level of a 3.5 yr old. She must pick all of it up from her brother.

Christmas was busy and very fun We had such a great time. We always do Christmas eve out Chris's parents (maw-maw and paw-paws) . Santa always comes while we are at church. The kis were soooo excited. We got home that night around 1130, and the kids went right to bed. In the morning, I think they forgot, b/c they came in my room wanting to snuggle as always. I was sooo tired, I thought it was only like 6 am. I looked at my clock, and it was almost 8am! I asked the kids if they thought Santa came, and the went running out to the living room as fast as they could. Then I heard lots of screams and as Holly always says OH-MY-GOSH!!!!!! They opened all tehir presents at home, and in the afternoon we went to my parents so they could open up even more. So our 2000 sqft house went from a good size to small in tha matter of hours!

Being a mom to a 2 and 3 year old.

Holly's 2nd birthday was on Sat the 20th. We had such a great time, and most of our family and friends attended. She got tons of gifts and with every one that she opened, she squealed like a little girl. Her new phrase is "Oh my gosh, I love it". Geez I had no idea that my second would grow up so fast. Hunter and Holly are very close in age. They are 21 months apart. She is a very fast learner, just like her brother. He teaches her just about every thing. Including how to stand up to pee. Yep... you read that right. Holly has been using the potty for about 5 weeks now. I still like to keep pull ups on her out in public, but when we are at home, she always wears her 'Dora' panties. Well last night before bed, I told them both to go potty and wash their hands. Holly uses her pink potty chair, (dumps it herself), and Hunter just uses the potty. I heard a bunch of giggling going on, so I went in to see what desaster I was about to deal with. Little did I know I was about to have quit the shocker... I walked in to the bathroom and Holly was completely naked standing on top of her potty, with on foot proped up on the 'big' potty, her belly sticking out, and she was peeing. Yep... and it was going all down the side of the toilet. I said "Holly, what are you doing?" She just laughed and said "Bubba's (Hunter) way is more fun!" LOL!
