Random Things

I took Kasey in for his 2 year well child appt yesterday. The doc told us that Kasey is a little...well, for lack of a better term - FAT! Haha! I was like, are you looking at him? He is a skinny little thing! But what do I know? Just because he went from 50th percentile in weight to 75th percentile means we need to cut back on his cheese intake.

Cheese.

My kids' favorite food. I don't think they could survive without cheese. All day long Katie says "Can I have some cheese, mommy?" and Kasey says "Cheeeeeeeeeeeeee". Is there a support group for Cheeseaholics?

Today our little man turned 2! It's hard to believe he's 2 already!!

Happy Birthday, Kasey!!!!

In case you didn't know, he is completely obessed with anything related to Cars. Lightning McQueen is the best thing since....well, I guess he's just the best thing ever! We have more Cars things in this house than princess things for Katie if you can believe that. Sheesh!

We had bought him a toddler bed a few months back when he decided to climb out of his crib a couple of times. That didn't work. So we broke it out again last night. I bought some new toddler bedding (Cars, what else?) last weekend to try to help the cause. It worked fairly well. He cried for about 30 minutes and kept screaming for us, but I calmed him down and he slept until 6 this morning. YAY! And...he took a great nap in there today. I am really hoping to get rid of the crib soon!!

Well, I am off to make some birthday dinner and get ready to have some birthday cake! Have a great week!

Wowsers! I have not been good at posting anything lately. I really will try to start posting more often again.

Well we decided to have another go at house hunting. We've been through about 35 houses. That's a lot of houses! We have our top 5 narrowed down and are going to make an offer this week on our top choice. YIPPEEEE!! I'll post pics if everything goes through :) We don't think we will be able to get them down to a price that we like better, but the worst thing they can say is no, right?

I am mentally going through all the things we have in our storage shed and shoved in random places throughout the house and think we might be able to have a nice little garage sale once all is said and done. We can use the money to go towards decorating the new place. I think that sounds fair. But we'll have to see if we can sell anything first ;)

Life has been busy.

Brian made it home safely after a cancelled flight and several delays...the kids were so excited to see him!

I went to Houston the Tues-Thurs after he got back. That was an interesting trip. The sessions could have been a bit more exciting, but overall I learned quite a bit. All I have to say is that I work with a bunch of fun folks! It's nice to meet everyone in person and also spend time with them outside of business hours. What a group!

We have been going back and forth on whether we want to buy a house out here, rent a house off base or just stay in base housing. Sadly, it looks like our best option is to stay put in base so we can save some $$. Sigh....

My parents called today and are planning a trip out here late March. That should be a good time!

Brian's cousin is planning on coming out the last week of April and we are going to go to HSM on ice with the girls in Pensacola. That will be a good time! I know Katie will be thrilled!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Dash will turn 2 on Valentine's Day! He probably won't get a party ;) He might get some special dog treats or something. Poor dog. We probably won't do much on Valentine's Day. Maybe I will make a nice dinner and have sparkling grape juice in wine glasses and pretend we are on a date somewhere fancy...ha!

Kasey will be turning 2 in less than 3 weeks! I can't believe it!! He's getting big! We haven't decided what to buy the little guy just yet. He still loves trucks and cars and airplanes. He really likes to throw things....er, chuck things across the room so sports items are out for now. He hurts us daily. Who knew hot wheels could be used as a weapon?

There really isn't much else going on in our corner of the world. Work, play, eat, sleep...repeat.
