We are alive!

Wow I haven't posted since January and here it is mid March! Lots of things have changed in our lives. Luke started going to a Montessori school on February 28th. It was a rough to get started for him because he had been going to his sitter since he was 4 months old and he loved Melissa and her two boys. I did too! The day I told her we were moving him I couldn't even tell her at first because I couldn't stop crying! It was very hard but now we are there and Luke is getting better with me dropping him off and I have been able to sneak in while they were doing stuff when I go to pick him up in the evening and he is having so much fun. One day they were singing and clapping and the next day they were playing instruments (of course my child was the only one playing the drums). We are very excited to see how much he learns. They are working on lots of different things but just a few activities spread out over the day and then they get to play outside every day!

Tax and baseball season is upon us. Can't wait until its over! Unfortunately (I guess for me not for Jason) baseball is going through May. Jason will be doing some traveling up to Stockton and Abilene, Texas for some tournaments. Its an honor (or so he tells me!) to be nominated and chosen to go.

Luke's second birthday is FAST approaching (as well as Jason's 32nd!). We will be doing lots of stuff to get ready for his "Rock On" birthday party. We decided on a rock on party because Luke loves his guitar and music. He has a new favorite show called The Fresh Beat Band. Lets just say Jason and I can't get the damn songs out of our head and I'm very embarrassed to say that if you have ever seen the show. One of the episodes one of the girls was playing a violin well my son ran and got one of his drumsticks and grabbed his guitar and acts like his guitar is a violin. Its so cute!

Work has been super busy for me lately. We have been a large animal practice for 30 years and we are now opening a small animal practice next week as well as training for a whole new software system. There is so much to be done before all this happens but its the beginning of breeding and foaling season so we are so busy I can't get the time to do it!

Well that is what is going on in our lives for now :)

Hello again

So it looks like its been over a month since i've last posted! What the heck have we been doing? Well Jason and I have been enjoying every minute with our little guy. He is so much fun. He is really starting to talk a lot. His favorite words right now are baby (every time we see a carseat with a baby at the store he freaks out screaming baby baby baby), candy (not sure exactly how he learned this one because he RARELY gets candy and if he does I call it a treat), and his favorite phrase is Hi Sissy. Yes he seems to be a little behind in talking but he really has picked up the last couple weeks. He repeats every thing we say. Today he was shouting Football football as he and Jason were watching football. So cute. He has a new game too, hiding in the kitchen cabinet. He thinks its a nice quiet dark place to take a poop. I opened the door yesterday and I could tell he was pooping and he freaked out yelling get get until I closed the door again.

This weekend Jason went to Arizona for some baseball meetings and Luke and I had a great time just the two of us. We even went to the local frozen yogurt shop and got a yogurt to bring home and share while we watched The Chipmunk movie. I'm a little sick of that movie. Luke has no interest in any other movies, not even Cars, but he always is up for The Chipmunks. I need to get The Squekel to see if he likes that one because I am getting super sick of the original.

Good news, Jason passed his final CPA test! He also passed his Ethics exam so its now just waiting for all the paper work to go through and he will have his license! So excited that all the studying and taking exams are over. Now we are gearing up for tax and baseball season. Not really looking forward to all that! Luckily I have 2 baby showers that I'm helping throw for friends so that along with Luke should keep me pretty busy!

Can't believe we are in the home stretch before Luke's second birthday. Is it possible that this second year went even faster than the first? Well I'm super excited because I have picked a theme for the party, The Cat & The Hat! Super cute decorations out there that I can make myself! I'm trying to get a head start on all this stuff so I am not having to do it all in April when Jason doesn't exsist in this house!
