The kids are asleep in bed and I have a few minutes to write about our lives. McCabe and Jacinda will start swimming lessons this Tuesday 2/2/10. We normally do this in the summer but McCabe kept asking if he could take them. Finally I caved since his birthday is 2/2/10 I thought it would be a nice gift.

Jacinda started taking up sewing. She is getting comfortable with the sewing machine. In fact, she found some scrap material, sewed a yellow zig zag line on it and called it a scarf. She was so pleased with her creation that she wore it to school.

Xadia is way too cute for words. She loves to smile and coo. She is also a squeeler. She will be looking at you and start to make these funny squeeling sounds. At first I thought she was going to cry but I knew I was wrong when she had a huge smile on her face. She is so joyful.

My weeks are starting to blend into one. It has been two weeks since my last blog and I feel like I don't have much to write about. Here are a few things that are note worthy. I am selling my first item on e-bay. Tim has become a running machine. He set another personal best...10 miles in 1 hour and 40 minutes. (you go boy!!) McCabe is calling his dad Tim. It is driving Tim crazy. He keeps reminding McCabe that he should be called "dad," not Tim.

This morning for church McCabe decided to wear shorts and shoes that are a few sizes too big. (I don't think so.) I had to wrestle them off and put on some decent clothes. But before doing so I had to get a picture. He would not stand still that is why this picture is a little blurry.


Jacinda has been very helpful. I have this cute picture of her coloring a picture. She is such a good helper.


Xadia is now 3 months. Already she knows her mom. Last night we had a ward game night and she would not go to others without fussing. It was so weird. Then when I held her.....she would calm down. Babies sometimes just amaze me.

Here is a picture of us karaoking. We were singing either Like a Prayer by Madonna or Eternal Flame by the Bangles. We had such a blast. I love ward game night.

Wow!!! a new year. We kicked it off by staying at the Great Wolf Lodge. It is a hotel with an indoor water park. Yep...that is how we do it here in the Northwest....indoors. It was a lot of fun. We went with Doug (Tim's brother) and family which was nice because they held Xadia some of the time so I could have a turn on the slides. McCabe and Jacinda had a blast. They were not afraid of the water at all which is a blessing and a curse. Yes it will be easier to teach them to swim but at the moment, they should not rush off into deep waters without mom or dad.

Tomorrow starts the old routine of getting the kids to school, lessons, etc... I really enjoyed the break but time must go on.

At the moment I am sitting on my bed typing this entry and Tim is talking to Xadia. She is squealing and responding to him. It is the cutest thing. I love watching Tim bond with his daughter....shoot I just love seeing the cutesy soft side of him.
