Tornado goes to Pre-school

He has been SOOO excited. We got his backpack ready last night with all of his "all about me" items and since then he's been trying to leave and go to pre-school. He kept telling me "I go to Pre-school (pronounced p-school) by myself!"

He got up at 6:30 this morning and let me tell you, it took a LONG time for 9:00am to roll around. -For both him and me!Getting his name tag put on.
You're still here Mom? Leave already!

See my teeth!

Just hanging out... fun pictures and a vent.

This guy has been here the last three times I've driven by. He must like to hang out here close to our subdivision. This time when I saw him I went home got my camera and came back. I stopped the car, turned on my hazard lights and snapped a few shots. He looked at me for a while and I looked at him. He could have cared less about me being there.

Now to the vent. I hate my camera and can't afford a new one. If it's on continual auto focus then I get a HUGE lag time, miss what I was trying to take, but my pics are in focus. When I switch to manual focus (hold the button down half way to focus on my object, then push the rest of the way to take the shot) I have no lag time, get what I was trying to take but 90% of the time my pics are blurry. I can't win! It makes me so frustrated. So here is the blurry animal. Only 2 out of the 6 pictures weren't blurry.

Sara's Wedding

For all the family members who couldn't make it, here are a few pictures from Sara's wedding.

Family Reunion

Hold on to your hats! Here are A LOT of pictures.

Dinner was good! Enchilda Bake

Thanks to this site we had a yummy dinner tonight. Even Tornado loved it.

Enchilada Bake

1 can (19oz) mild enchilada sauce, divided
1 can (15.25oz) corn, drained
1 can (15oz) black beans, rinsed
1 lb. shredded cooked chicken
2 tbsp cilantro
12 corn tortillas, divided (I used flour tortillas)
1 ¼ C shredded Monterey jack cheese, divided (I used sharp cheddar)

Heat oven to 350. In bowl, combine ½ can of encilada sauce, the corn, black beans, chicken, and cilantro. Lay out tortillas and put filling in tortillas. Add cheese and roll up. Put in 9x13 dish, cover with remaining enchilada sauce. Cover and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle remaining cheese. Bake 10 minutes more.

Small Girl!

Bubbles had her 6 mo. check up today and I found out what I already knew. She is a long, skinny girl. She weighs 13 lbs, 3 oz. (15% percentile) and is 26 3/4 inches long (90%). The doctor says she is doing well. He was surprised that she already had two teeth and is almost crawling. He showed me that she is a lot closer to sitting on her own than I thought and said that she is a doer and isn't going to be content just sitting around being a baby. Even though I already knew that, I was hoping to have a few more months (hah!) before I had to chase a baby around the halls of church.

She's a strong baby too. Yesterday she pulled herself out (yes OUT) of her exersaucer and dumped herself on the floor. I couldn't believe it. Neither could her Doctor. I came upstairs (I was putting a video in for Tornado) just in time to see her fall on the floor.

Not so fast...

Okay, so I'm totally procrastinating packing for girls camp and putting together stuff for the skits. So here I sit typing up an update.

Tornado is doing so well with potty training. In fact I think it's complete. He hasn't had an accident in weeks now. He's loving his Disney movies, though I think we need to watch them more sparingly. It took a week to convince him that he was a Prince, not a Princess. Now I am the princess and he is the prince.

Bubbles had her second tooth come in and is probably a week away from crawling. She's getting up on her hands and knees and can scoot all over the room. I don't know where she thinks she's going, but she's in a hurry to get there.

Goin' to Camp this week

see you all when I get back!

I forgot!

While on our trip Bubbles got her first tooth! It popped through Saturday night. Now we are just waiting for the second one to pop through.

This and that...

This weekend we got together with my father's side of the family. I had a great time seeing everyone again. Some of the Cousins and Aunt and uncles I hadn't seen in 10+ years! Bubbles went with me and was such a good girl! I can't tell you how many times I woke her up to stick her in the car and go some where.

As much as I enjoyed my weekend I missed my Tornado and DA. DA works so much and to have him home all weekend and not be here made me a bit sad. Especially since we got a late start that morning and didn't make it home until after 6:00 pm.

But now that I'm back in the real world I need to get busy! My sister is getting married this weekend and then I am going to girls camp next week. I've got so much to do I'm not exactly sure where to start!
