We are still here!

It has been awhile since I've updated this! I forgot I had it! Much has changed since my last update! Gary has a job he loves-in the computer field still! It's only 5 miles from our home! He comes home to have dinner with us every night! He works 2 in the afternoon till 11pm. So we get up at 8 and hang out till 1:30, when he leaves for work. Somedays the girls and I do stuff with friends or the Moms Group, but we spend alot of time with him.



Ansley is 4 1/2 now, and Kayleigh is 14 months. Now that its getting warm outside, we have been spending alot of time out there. They both love it! Ansley has 2 months of preschool 3 days a week left. Hopefully in August she will start Pre-K!!! She LOVES school and impresses us everyday with all the things she knows and understands. She is starting to learn sight words (words we see alot like the, of, it, and), she can sound out words like cat, ham, etc. She can do alot of things and will do well in school! She loves to watch tv, but I try to limit it, which will be easier now that we can get outside some! We have taken her skating a few times and I wish we would take her more so that she can actually learn how to skate-I hope she loves it like we do!! Although, we don't do it much these days:( Kayleigh has been walking for about 4 months now. She is very busy! And VERY sweet. I love her age-I am sad that my last baby is growing so fast. She LOVES to eat and play outside! She is talking some-she says bye-bye, baby, night night, momma, dada, kitty kitty, shoo, uh-oh and a few more that I can't seem to remember at the moment! When I put her in her carseat and turn on the music, she bounces her shoulders and dances with the cutest smile on her face! I could go on and on about my girls!!!



I am LOVING staying at home. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to be with my girls everyday all day long. Watching them grow, learn new things, loving on them, and just enjoying our life together!



My mom is still fighting headaches daily and I pray that she finds help for this soon. My dad recently had a tumor removed from behind his eye that was affecting his vision. He has recovered nicely (although it was rough for a few weeks!) and is still taking it easy! My sisters live in their own house now and love it. Ansley loves to see her aunties:) Leia works at a cardiology office and Amanda works in an MRI office.



We have enjoyed having another baby in the family-little Miss Sophie! With Abbey, Lily, Ansley, Kayleigh, and Sophie-we have lots of fun, especially during the holidays!! Its hard to believe Jake and Paige are driving now-when I met Gary they were about Ansley's age!!!! Sad-why do they have to grow so fast! April and Chris just moved into their first house and we will go see it this weekend!! Nikki got accepted into nursing school-woohoo! And Paige has decided to go to Auburn! I am so proud of all our family! We are very blessed!!!



I am really excited about my cousin Wes coming home late August from Germany. He will be stationed in Tampa FL, so I will hopefully get to see him more often!!



I've been working on getting back to my pre-pregnancy (before Ansley) weight, but can't seem to STOP eating. I enjoy exercising so I walk some, have recently starting jogging, and attending bootcamp where we do kickboxing and weights. I have NEVER worked out like that in my life and I'm really enjoying it!



I still scrapbook-Ansley has a book for every year of her life and Kayleigh's 1st year is almost complete. Just need a weekend to myself to get caught up!! I haven't gotten to line dance much lately, since Gary works nights and my mom is having so much trouble with headaches. I miss dancing and skating-they helped me stay in shape!!



Well, naptime is almost over (I was going to scrapbook, but got sidetracked with this!!). Guess I'll go clean some more! I'll try not to forget about this and post some recent pictures. Although most of you are on facebook, where I post pictures regularly! Gotta love facebook!!



Love
