YaYa Night

Last night was a blast!!! Linsay and I went to On the Pot's YaYa Night. It was a great evening to get away for a little bit. I made two ice cream bowls....one for me and one for Travis. I am going to make the girls' ice cream bowls next month. They are going to be cordinating.....not matching! Travis was giving me a hard time because I miss spoke when telling him about it. My bowl is green inside with silver polkadots. The outside is blue and says, "mommy's icecream." Trav's bowl is blue inside with silver polkadots and the outside is green and says, "daddy's icecream." (Pictures to come!) I think I am going to do the girls' bowls with speckled orange and lime green colors with the silver polkadots. What do you think?

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

I can't believe another month has come and gone!!!! I have been so busy! I started back to work on the 5th (well.....okay the 6th because of the Easter weekend). I have loved going back to work. My students have all given me hugs and told me that they were glad that I was back. That makes going back to work easier for me. I definitely come home and cuddle both my girls a long time though!! One day I spent an hour after school just holding KayLynn and giggling with her!!! Most of you are saying, "So what?" Well, I was having a cheer parent meeting at my house that night and I was not picking up!!! My wonderful husband did pick up for me though!!
Alta is now officially 2 years old!!! I can't believe that I am a mother of a 2 year old and a 2 month old! She had a great time at her birthday party! It was mostly family, but a few friends did come too. Her friends Brynn and Lewy came. They all seemed to have fun playing with bubbles, chalk, and balls. Aunt Julie made cupcakes for the day. I had talked to a friend at work about making just a small 6" cake with a Tinker Bell on it....to match the invites. Well, it turned out that she made a HUGE cake!!! We have had cake everyday for a week now.....of course Alta doesn't mind!!! She asked for cake for breakfast one day......I said no.
KayLynn has been having wonderful times with her Great Grandma Hoard this month. We are trying to save on daycare and not have to take her until next fall when school starts. That means she gets to spend a lot of time with her grandparents......and I think they are having a blast with it too!

Too Fast

Where had the time gone?!? All I know is that my maternity leave has gone by way too fast! I have enjoyed all my time home with my girls. KayLynn is two months old today! I will go back to work on Tuesday (they have a four day weekend for Easter break)! I am so torn. When I went to the school this week for a couple of things, I had students stopping me at each doorway giving me hugs and asking if I was back for good now. That made me feel so warm! I am sad though to be leaving my daughter at home. We have it worked out right now that she will be watched by grandmas and Daddy until I am done with school. That helps out with daycare costs. We won't have to pay for over the summer. I intend to stay at home with her all summer. I will have 7 or so more weeks of school when I go back. I am so ready to get back into the swing of things though. I am a little worried about how I am going to do it when Travis is working a day shift. KayLynn eats anywhere from 5:45 to 7 in the morning. I hope that I can get a schedule down and get her to work with it!
Speaking of time flying....Alta is going to be 2 this month!!! Can it really be two years ago that I was having braxton-hicks?!? I can't believe it has been that long! She is really growing up. She is talking more and more each day. I don't always know what she is saying, but it is cute! She lets us know what KayLynn wants too. For some reason KayLynn only tells Alta what she wants.....to lay down, to be picked up, who should hold her, etc. Today while I was at the school for a meeting, Alta was teaching KayLynn how to dance. Travis said that it was cute. Of course when he got out to video it, she really didn't do anything.
The rest of this week is going to be busy with Easter! We have a lot of family things planned. I know there are some Easter egg hunts. Hopefully I will be able to take a lot of pictures and get them posted!
