Long time, no post! Sorry. I have not had the time to post and have told myself a hundred things I need to remember to write about on here but I will be lucky to remember 5 of those.
Kamryn Louise is now 19 months old! She has really exploded with her vocabulary in the last month. My little 20 pounder is kinda sassy. She has perfected the "No No!" with a finger point so we are all sure to hear about it if we are doing something wrong or not in her favor. If I were to predict her future, I'd say she is not going to take any crap from anyone! She likes to pick on her brother almost more than he picks on her. Although they pick on each other, they love each other to pieces! Kamryn still struggles with saying "Graham" so to her he is "bubba." She loves to play with her new laptop (for kids of course), mommy's phone, dig through mommy's purse and drawers, play outside, chase basketballs in the gym, playing with playdough, and has a major obsession with shoes! For whatever reason, she seems to think her black boots go well with everything from her diaper to her leggings.
Graham is almost 3 1/2 years old. He is still in preschool! Sounds like he is a smart little boy and the teacher can call on him whenever she needs an answer but otherwise he is living in his own world and doesn't follow instructions so well. We will continue to work on that department!
Gabe introduced him to the movie, "Toy Story." Quite often, Graham swears he is "Buzz Lightyear." This past Christmas was his first ever Christmas program. We were so excited to see him sing with this class! They had 4 songs to perform. Between the preschool and pre-K classes there were 48 students. Graham was placed in the front row....I had my camera and was also sitting in the front of the church....His classmates sang Jingle Bells while he held his arms straight out to the side pretending as though he was Buzz Lightyear! Anytime the little girl in her Christmas dress, standing next to him, would sway back and forth in her dress, Graham would glare at her like she was the most annoying being on this Earth! As if Buzz wasn't bad enough, he stood there and picked his nose as well! :) Nice huh!
Never too many dull moments in our house. He still says several clever things and makes us laugh!
A couple weeks ago, when he was "a doctor" (we never know what he will be from day to day) I asked him if he would like a cheese stick for a snack and his response was, "Mom, no, Doctors don't eat cheese they eat 'saugesas'" I spelled that wrong on purpose b/c that is about how it sounds as it rolls off his toungue. He loves beef jerky or beef sausage sticks.
As if we are not busy enough, we decided rather than buy a house, we wanted to renovate our basement. We are building Grahams bedroom and redoing the bathroom. My cousin Cody, helped us tremendously with all the framing and sheet rocking, moving doorways and building new, and mudding the ceilings. Gabe has done a ton of work himself. He laid the tile floor in our bathroom, did most all the plumbing, dug out concrete, did some electrical work, hung light fixtures and installed the shower. I take care of the kids while he does all this stuff! He painted the bathroom and Graham's new room. It's all coming togeteher!! Anxious to finish the basement so we can then move our laundry to the basement and make the current laundry room a pantry!!
Well I have some work to do for basketball so I better wrap this up. Hope all is well! until next time....the Journey continues!

tiny "tudes"
Random thoughts about my "Tiny Tots":
My tiny tots are growing up every single day! I am convinced they are both going on 13 years old though. Kamryn is very into telling me "NO!" as she includes the stern finger point! She tries to put Azzi in her place when Azzi does something she should not do. Kamryn gets in trouble herself but it is hard to yell at her because she is hilarious! The personality she is forming is comical. Scares me a little to be honest....kinda feel like we may have a class clown on our hands! She loves following her brother's lead. It is constantly monkey see, monkey do around here. Kamryn is not talking near as much as Graham was at this age but she is trying so hard. Some of my favorite phrases or things she "clearly" is trying to say are: "Uh oh, spaghettios!" sounds like "Uh oh, say-yo"- "thank you"--sounds like "tay-tee"...."Oh Toodles!" (from Mickey Mouse).......words: dada, mama, bubba, papa, nana, Azzi, ball, puppy (buppy), blue, yellow (llello), hi, hello, bye, bye-bye, no, ok, hot, apple.........She brightens my day! Rarely ever does she wake up cranky no matter what the circumstances are. Generally, she is also very easy to put to bed. Tonight...cutest thing ever...Kamryn and I were saying bedtime prayers and when I said "and God bless those who are sick"...Kamryn instantly said, "ah-choo!" LOL...I always say "God Bless You" when she sneezes so that is what she associated that moment with :) I thought it was cute.
Graham is enjoying preschool and is a social butterfly. He had a couple rough weeks awhile back...constantly getting in trouble...we pulled him out of gymnastics....started a new behavioral system at school and he has been very successful! Last week, he started CrossFit Kids and really enjoys it! I love hearing him talk about CrossFit and showing me things he learns. We have bear crawl races in our basement...do burpees, squats, push-ups etc. He does very well :) I am speaking like a true mom, but I really am proud of him. He has his extremely ornery moments, but he is very polite and sure to thank people for nice things they do for him. I know he is very loving and caring...always has a hug and a smile for me! Along with all his sweetness, he is also developing an attitude. Does not like to be told NO, although he hears it frequently. Talks like he is a grown man...seriously, the vocabulary he portrays just blows me away. He talks about "vehicles" and the "exhaust" they put off...looks outside and says, "it's a nice day out, look at those beautiful leaves mommy!" If Kamryn or I dress up for church or a wedding for example, he almost always says, "you look pretty in your dress!" or "I like your dress!" He talks about "helicoctors" and their "propellers" (he doesn't say the 'p' in helicopter). These are very few of the things he says but what cracks me up is that he struggles to "breakfast" and it comes out as "breax-sticks"...and almost everytime he talks about breakfast, he follows the word with " I can't say it"....ha ha...so cute :)
I will stop boasting about my children and go to bed....Figured if I don't write comments such as these, I will forget all too soon. I love their innocense :) Until next time, our journey continues...

the Kids
Once again...an eternity has passed since my last entry. We have been incredibly busy growing up around here! Graham is finally doing better with preschool. Right now he can recite the "Before Meals Prayer" "Angel of God" and "Pledge of Allegiance." It is so fun to hear his little voice say those amazing things! He has been doing great with potty training as we have wished the pull-ups a permanent fairwell! I tell you what...once you erase one set of diapers and a container of formula from your grocery list, it feels like you have been given a small pay raise!
Graham started going to "Happy Handstands" gymnastics class on Mondays/Wednesdays. He had been asking me almost daily if I was going to sign him up for "mynastics" (that is what he calls it) so we waited until he turned 3 to get him going. Graham really enjoys the class but we have not been too successful earning our stamps. After each class is over, the kids are instructed to line up and go sit down on the balance beam with both hands on top of their head. The coach walks down the line with her rubber stamp and ink pad. If the child was a great listener and did a good job, they get two stamps. If the child has some work to do in the listening department, they get 1 stamp. Day 1: Gabe and I watched alot of the class. Every class, the kids start off by running laps around the gymnastics floor. Next to the floor, there is a regtangular shaped trampoline that basically lines the whole South wall. As all the kids are running their laps, Mr. Graham decides he is going to run on the trampoline....The coach attempts to stop Graham but as the coach gets to the end Graham is on, Graham runs to the other end. This happened a few times before the coach finally caught him. Proud parent moment right there. NOT. After their warm-up they sit down and do some stretches. Graham decided that stretching was not really what he wanted to do so he was going to walk around through the other groups. This class is for 3-4-5 year olds so they are all in small groups. When the first class was over, the coach gave Graham one stamp. He looked at his friends and noticed they were all getting two, so he asked why he only had one. The two coaches looked at each other and she gave him another stamp! Both Gabe and I witnessed this and at the same time "shouted" "Come on!...He didn't deserve that!" She responded, "I know but he is so cute!" We told her not to give him two stamps unless he deserves it next time :) It took some work but he has finally managed to fall into the routine along with his fellow gymnasts. He is the only boy in his group. I drop him off and then leave but I do try to watch at least 10 minutes or so of the class. Graham EARNED 2 stamps last Tuesday for the first time!!! And then Thursday I took him to class...he refused to walk in...wanted me to carry him...refused to let me put him down...refused to take off his shoes....I had had to wake him early from his nap and that did not go over so well. Needless to say, we left. We shall see how this week goes :)
As for Kamryn Louise....she continues to be a social butterfly as she tells EVERYONE she sees, no matter where we are, "HI!" or "Hello" but hello sounds more like "Hel-whoa!" She is also saying, Dada, Mama, Papa, Nana, Azzi, bubba, "tank tee" (her version of thank you), "more" (prounounce 'Moh!", signing more, please, and thank you. Her other favorite word is "NO!" She hears this quite a bit. Kamryn still enjoys splashing in the toilet bowl, Azzi's water dish, eating Azzi's dog food, chasing Azzi with whatever food she has in her hands, pushing Graham's buttons, playing with her little tyke basketball goal, and getting into her mama's purse. She is not a girly girl yet. The instant I put a bow in hair, she rips it out...looks at me and does a cackly laugh. Is "cackly" a word?....She melts your heart by giving you this special puppy dog look and sticks out her hands opening and closing them wanting you to hold her! This is hard for anyone to resist! As onery as she is becoming, we love her to pieces! Graham and Kamryn absolutely adore each other. They get so excited to see each other when they have been away from one another...even if it is just 5 hours or so.
Well, I suppose I will wrap up this post. Time to wake up Graham so we can get ready for Gymnastics...as the journey continues.........Good day :)

Baby boy...
If you just read the title and thought we were expecting again....Hell no...
My baby boy is not a baby anymore! He started preschool last week! I did great about not crying but it helped me tremendously that he walked right on in to class and got right to work on the puzzle he was assigned to. He has to be to preschool by 8am and that is when he is usually used to rolling out of bed. Having to rev up our schedule a little bit has been a challenge for all of us. Some day...some day, I might feel like a mother that is actually on top of things. For some reason, I feel like I used to be organized but maybe I wasn't????
Kamryn has been a joy lately....she is cutting two more teeth. She never cuts one at a time, it is always two at a time. Bless her little heart but holy crap she is feisty! I say this everyday, but we are in for a treat down the road by golly! I still love her to pieces and wanna squeeze her everytime I see her :)
I can hardly make it throught 2pm anymore as I am thoroughly wiped out! I've been working early mornings, up by 4:15am and that doesn't help matters. The kids definitely test every ounce of my patience but they still melt my heart. I just hope and pray everyday that we are raising two respectable/respectful children...kids who will be able to make smart decisions and learn from their mistakes. It is a crazy world we live in. Anyways, I will try not to stress too much about that now. I will let the journey continue and enjoy the ride :)

Sunday, July 29, 2012
My babies are growing at a rapid pace...much like anyone elses but it is still so hard to believe, amazing to observe, and fun to be apart of........most of the time. It is absolutely insane how much life comes full circle once you have kids. Funny how things that your parents did when you were young, made no sense what-so-ever, or were hard to accept. Suddenly, years later, I understand the oh so frustrating response of "I am your mom, that's why!" I have found myself using that line as of this week. Graham is into asking a million questions, which by the way, reminds me SOOOOOOOOOO much of my brother at his age. He is definitely inquisitive which I think is a great thing but I can only answer his questions in so many ways. Kamryn is watching Graham's every move and likes to be just like him. If she is anything less than a Tom Boy, I will be so shocked....can't say I would be surprised if she stays a Tom Boy because I was/am the same way. She loves, loves, LOVES, to test the waters! NOTHING phases her. When Graham used to do something such as play with an outlet or the electronics and I would yell NO in a stern voice...he would crumble and cry. Kamryn....when she does those things and I yell NO...she turns her head and laughs and then does it again. These two little munchkins are so different yet so similar...bizarre.
Graham will turn 3 on August 8th and then attend his first preschool session...a one hour rehearsal so to speak...on August 9th. Last week was enrollment and guess what?!?!? I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT! Great mom right here folks!! Anyone want to compete for the awesome mom of the year award?? Bring it on! Geezz....seriously. I had the 9th firmly planted in my head as the day I was going to take care of all that stuff, which we can no problem, but the "official enrollment day" was July 25th. I will get my act together and be prepared to have a preschooler in the house!!! I will. I will! Prior to attending preschool, Graham is supposed to be potty trained. We have been working on it and I have not forced the issue all along. I figure he will do it when he wants to anways. He has done really well! We are on day 2 of consitant training!!! Other than the pull-up we used over night, he used 1 all day yesterday, and has used 1 today! whew whoo!!!!!!! Little miss Kamryn Louise has taken to going potty in her potty chair every night before taking a bath! It's a start! We sing a potty song, start the bath water, and whoala!
Kamryn is walking/running all over the place. As of yesterday, she is officially 13 months old! While "hi" is her favorite word, she says momma, dadda, azzi, bye bye, NO, and her newest word: APPLE! She has said banana a couple times but not real consistant with it. Her current hobbies are: playing in Azzi's food and water, turning off the tv or changing the channel, unraveling toilet paper, and splashing her hands in the toilet bowl water! Great stuff right there! She has totally bypassed the baby food stage. I can honestly say there is not one type of "baby" food that she liked. She would eat carrots and sweet potatoes but not much. She is pretty much eating whatever we do. Her obsession is the yogurt melts and little munchies...they pretty much resemble cheese curls. Recently, she has discovered her love for Cookie Crisp cereal with the milk! I am impressed with her ability to use her utensils! She does a great job using her fork and spoon but she still uses her fingers. She is definitely the messiest eater of her and Graham (was that proper English? probably not...).
Well I better go wake up the kids from their naps...actually I will only wake Graham. We have got to get him to bed earlier at night! I have already let him sleep longer than I had planned. So long for now...and the journey continues...

Brief birthday update
My baby girl is now one year old! She turned one June 28th! Kamryn decided to start walking the week prior to her birthday and now she is constantly on the go...as if she wasn't already. We had a small party with my family on her birthday (Thursday) and then a bigger party on Saturday. She wasn't too sure of the presents as far as unwrapping them. She looked at them like it was ridiculous to stuff tissue paper in a bag and would run off. The morning of her big party she got sick. She is also cutting 4 new teeth at one time right now AND had her 1 year shots on her birthday....happy birthday, right!?!? Poor girl! She would knaw on cardboard right now if I'd let her. Sunday, Graham went to the park for a picnic with Gabe's parents and they brought him home b/c he wasn't feeling well. We ended up having to take him to the ER. Long story short, he was overheated...had heat exhaustion. My best friend Ann, also Kamryn's Godmother, came with me to the hospital. We had some pretty interesting moments but for the sake of Graham's pride, I will put them in his baby book instead of world wide :) It is getting late and this isn't the most entertaining post. I feel like anymore I am just slapping down some details while I have a few minutes but hey, I guess that is better than nothing. Time is going by so fast...so cliche' I know, but holy smokes...I am trying to treasure every single moment of the baby/toddler days...there are a few moments I could do without, but then I guess I wouldn't truly appreciate the sweet moments as much :) I am so blessed...and the journey continues...

Busy busy right now. Basketball camps last week and our team camp this week. I am getting more personal training clients and basketball students. Next week I am going to begin teaching more CrossFit classes. Lots of great things going on for me. I have put myself in an awful routine of going to be late and having to be up early...I am working on trying to break this habit. Here is a post that I put on Facebook at 6am this morning....
So I had a late night...up early b/c Kamryn decided she was hungry. She woke me up while I was dreaming of a CrossFit WOD: 6 min time limit (which was erased after we got started) partner WOD of jump into the pool belly flop style and clap your hands together under water upon landing- measure the highest splash!, 1 rep- then your partner has to pull you out of the water with a rope...after they pull you out, they jump in - forgot to mention that there are 3 big ass Orca's (whales) in the water. We had to pick a whale- put a red towel up on the deck of the pool for their distraction I guess and we had to polish the Orca with tar! The tar did not disperse in the pool either...miracle, I know. The first one to completely polish their Orca and pull that partner out of the water with the rope, wins. This was an incredibly large and deep pool :)
You can see why I need to break this awful routine I am in!
My kids are doing well. Kamryn is taking one step but doesn't want to take anymore than that. On three different occasions she has literally jogged in place then taken a couple steps...crazy! As far as language, we are working on several things. I feel llike Graham was a lot further along by now but I have to remember she is 11 months old. She says "Hi!", "Dada", "Azzi", and she has said mama before but rarely does. Today she has said it several times!! I think she is holding out just to spite me! Kamryn is turning into a feisty little soul! She knows what she wants let me tell ya! If she wants something and doesn't get it, she will clinch her fists, turn 10 shades of red, and grunt as loud as she can. Nice huh?!! She loves to roll her mini basketball back and forth! Although I believe she does a few things just to spite me, she is still a little girl after her mama's heart! One thing that she doesn't act too interested in right now, is books. If they are short and have big pictures...she likes them, otherwise, she has better things to do!
Graham is still his curious little self. Very inquisitive...his wheels are constantly turning! He loves making Kamryn laugh! Quite often, I think Graham wants Kamryn to grow up really fast or he forgets her age b/c he plays with her like she is another little boy. Gotta keep my eye on him!
Gabe is playing "Handy Manny" and is building a storage shed in our backyard. We decided to save some money and have a DIY project. With any luck, the shed will be finished by Christmas. He is doing a great job! He has done the whole thing by himself. He has had a friend come over and help him for an hour or so to heave crap on the roof....I have helped hold a couple wall segments up while he nailed them in, other than that....it's been his baby.
Well enough for now....I better get this house whipped into shape and I have workouts to plan for. Have a good day....and our journey continues!
