We've Been BUSY!

Yes, we have been busy - going potty that is! I know, Grady can't talk yet(which is bordering on concern for me since he turns 2 in 2 weeks), but yet he let's me know when it is time to go. Monday was his first day and he has gone at least once or twice a day since. It is even #2 if you can believe it! I think he is still too little to get the other part down, but we are just so proud of him, and he is proud and very excited to get his little treat each time he goes. I realize this is early to celebrate, but I don't really have much else to celebrate so this is what you get. My other girls were completely terrified of going #2 on the potty, so this is really weird for us - I guess it is just another "boy" thing we are getting used to. I will let you know how next week goes!

Um...

Okay, so I have an addiction. These little buggers get me every Easter and I really can't help but buy them and then proceed to eat them. I really thought I wouldn't be bothered seeing them this year with the Fit in Six thing I did, but I just couldn't resist. So, if you haven't had the pleasure of actually tasting this WONDERFUL, AMAZING, SMOOTH, and ADDICTING, candy-coated chocolate - DON'T DO IT!!!

Do you VOTE?

This is actually the 1st year I have wanted to really vote for my favs - yes, I am a complete fan of American Idol and I am not afraid to admit it. I only voted the season before last when Blake was on the show and that was only once. This year I am totally committed to voting. I just pick my favs (see below) and vote away. I know, they are all boys, but seriously, I am really not into any of the girls this year - the boys are going to take it all.
So, do you VOTE???

Matt- the AMAZING piano man

Kris -the laid-back guitar boy



My VERY Fav - Danny - widow - is very cool and I LOVE his style of singing

Another Fav - Adam - Wicked star -will probably win it all and has an amazing voice

Happy Birthday GRANDMA!!

My sweet "little" grandma just turned the big 85 last week and I just had to post about how great she is. She is such an amazing person, and I love that she is still healthy and totally involved in life. I have always been really close to her, especially when I was younger and all of my cousins were dreadful boys (not now, but when you are 10 they are:). The girls were all a bit younger and so it was just me. When we came to visit, all of my siblings would be off to have fun slumber parties with their cousins and I would sit and cry, but my grandma (and grandpa) would have me sleep over and they used to make it so much fun for me that I would completely forget about my sadness.



Now that I have kids, my grandma is still close to me and she always supports us in all we do. She comes to dance recitals, musicals, and even school programs and I really appreciate that she takes the time to come and also because my mom doesn't live close by. My kids just love her and I think they are so lucky to have such an involved great-grandma that they can know and remember.



She is also very funny and witty. There is never a time that I am with her, that I don't end up laughing about something she says or tells me about. I love that, and I love YOU grandma - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
