Kaylee has been using her potty to store things in… All day today though she has been using the phrase “Stinky butt” and usually she does need a diaper change after she says it.  Well tonight as we were getting ready for bed she said it and was totally clean and dry so I asked if she wanted to sit on the potty and she said yes.  Instead of putting her on the little potty I took the insert out and put it on the big potty and she went pee!!  She was so proud of herself, we had to call daddy to tell him lol…

I am so proud of her, I hope she keeps it up.

Well her real name is Hannah, keeping in the SOE Hamster spirit but she goes by Emily….  Listen to Podcast #37 to hear from her.  Oh and she didn’t die, in fact she admitted to being an item with Hubert the super geek!

That’s right, my little baby girl is 2 years old today.  We woke her up early while we were getting Katie ready for school so she could open her presents with all of us together.  Sort of a tradion we started on Katie’s 6th Birthday…

Kaylee opens her presents

Kaylee and I took Katie to school and then when we got back home with both fell asleep while watching Ratatouille.  We didn’t wake up until almost noon.  We had lunch and then I took pictures of Kaylee with her presents.  This one is my favorite..

She is wearing one of her new shirts, and is with her Friends 2B Made dolls.  Katie bought the white outfit for her yesterday and Kaylee and I went to Friends 2B made a few ago and made blonde doll as an early gift.

Kaylee took her dolls outside and pushed them on the swings, and played a bit. Now we are relaxing waiting until we can pick Katie up from school.  We are probably going to go have dinner and Mimi’s and then we need to get the decorations and plates and stuff for Kaylee’s party on Saturday.

The play set is finally finished. We bought it at the beginging of April and the guys finished it this Saturday! The kids are having a blast playing on it. We had quite a few of them over on Memorial day! And hopefully a ton more for Kaylee’s Birthday party this Saturday

Good Work Keith, Eddie and Zel!

I have been so sick!  I had an allergy attack on Thursday evening.  The pollen was raining from the trees at Katie’s school.  I was there for about 2 hours for open house.  Katie is doing really well and her teacher says she will be very sad to see her leave in June.

Anyway Friday morning I had really bad congestion and just felt terrible.  I got really bad Monday morning so I called the doctor’s office and got an appointment.  She gave me antibiotics and told me to rest for 2 days.  I don’t think I’ve ever slept that much LOL but I went back to work yesterday still feeling woozy but today I will a ton better still a little congested but nothing like before and my voice is coming back.  I won’t be playing Rock Band for a bit unfortunately though and I am not recording a Podcast until late next week so I should be good.

I hope all is well with you all and I hope now that I am feeling better I can get back on track at the gym and my eating

Has been announced!  Who is ready to go!  I know I am I can’t wait!

Hit a milestone on the way to work this morning! Yikes that’s a lot of miles on my car. We bought the car in Feb 06 and it already has 90,000 miles on it! The poor car!

Katie’s Positive Person Award

Originally uploaded by queenladybug0525.

Katie received a positive person of the month award this morning at school! I am really proud of her! Her teacher says she is a go getter in the classroom and this past month she is really pushing herself!

The poor thing only went to school today out of the entire week. She woke up in the middle of the night Saturday night burning with fever, no other symptoms. She was fine Sunday morning so we went to Easter Services at church and then to my mom and dad’s for the Easter egg hunt. When we got there she had zonked out in the car. My dad carried her in and she rested until the hunt. Sunday night her fever rose again, and it did all day Monday too. She had us so worried Grandma took her to urgent care. They said it was the flu though she doesn’t have a cough, runny nose or anything of the sort. Her appetite went way down on Tuesday though I could only get her to eat top ramen. By Wednesday she was feeling well enough to do the homework Grandma picked up for her and we decided to go out and pick some stuff up at Target (She really wanted a Care Bear) and then some lunch at Wendy’s, half way through lunch the fever rose again and she felt pretty icky until about 7 that night. We watched some Hannah Montana together and by bedtime she was fever free. She stayed home again Thursday just to be safe. Grandma picked up more homework for her. She was fever free all day Thursday so we sent her to school today and so far so good

That was the story of my exhausting week. Excluding Kaylee waking up coughing half the night, I hope she isn’t getting sick!

Edgar the Grey Whale

Originally uploaded by queenladybug0525.

We met Edgar on the SOE Winter Summit Whale Watching Expedition! We set out early Friday morning and we really had a great time. I wanted to tell Edgar’s story because meeting him has stuck with me.

Captain Bob on our Horn Blower Cruise let us know that this Grey whale was most likely elderly which is why we called him Edgar. He may have had a lobster trap stuck to his tail and the rescue folks at Sea World were called to take a look at him. We weren’t there when they arrived so we don’t have any info on what happened to him after we left…

I wanted to also mention that Edgar has a wife named Emma of course this all made up after I pretended Edgar was the Grumpy old gamer from the SOE Podcast. He was telling us to get off his lawn LOL… anyway Mike Zenke was the voice of Edgar, and Jason “Pex” Ryan was the voice of Emma his wife. It was a really funny skit that I hope to include or at least talk about in a podcast soon.

Statue at American Red Cross Building

If you listen to the SOE Podcast you know Brenlo and I went to DC last month… Anyway I finally go around to uploading my photos… This one is my favorite I think. If you want check them all out head over to my Flickr…

It was really neat going to DC, I have never been. I never expected the emotions that I experienced while being there. I think the Vietnam one was the worst for me. There were just so many names on that wall.

I hope I get to go back someday with my girls maybe when Katie starts learning American History
