Spring was Here?

This weekend we had beautiful weather. It was definitely Spring weather, it seems that it is gone now. It was in the 70's on Sunday. Today while out it was flurrying. I can not believe that we are having flurries in April. I don't know what that is all about. I am really hoping that it is gone soon and our Spring weather is back and stays here until it's time for Summer. I was really hoping for nice weather this coming Easter weekend. It was nice to be able to be outside without having to wear a jacket. We did go and buy Jacob a new bike on Saturday and he was able to take it for a little ride on Sunday when I got home from work. We found him the perfect helmet at Toys r us and the best part was that it was on clearance for 7 bucks. Of course it has Buzz Lightyear on it one of Jacob's favorite characters on it. Jenna rode around in Jacob's little Cozy Coupe while he rode his bike with Daddy. Now for a few pictures to share.....

Totally Slacking....

Okay so I officially feel like a complete slacker. I know that it's been a while since I'd posted but I just hadn't realized how long it had been. That was until I today I was reading a friend's blog and noticed our blog in the sidebar and it said my last post was two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, yuck. I am really not enjoying this cold weather. I am ready for Spring to be here. I will say I did however enjoy the little bit of snow we had today I wish there would have been more. I am okay with it being cold if there's snow to go along with it. The kids have been asking about snow for months now. Or it seems like it's been months.

I kind of feel like I have been in this funk. Still making my rounds for the most part reading every one else's blogs. Just having a hard time sitting down to write a post of my own. We have been fairly busy the last couple of weeks. Just lots of random things going on. Daddy's on a little guys trip. Him and a few of his friends from work headed up to Atlantic City for just today and will be home tomorrow (Tuesday) night.

Jacob and Jenna are both doing good. I think Jenna's got a bit of a cold. Other than that though she's good. Both growing like crazy and keeping me on my toes. Jacob's 5 year well check up is next Monday. I can't wait to see how much he's really grown. We keep track of his growth on one of our walls but to see last year to this year from the Dr. perspective is always fun. Then there's always the whole percentile thing. Hoping he's keeping up like he has been and is still going to be taller than both his Mommy and Daddy. At his last checkup the doc said he'd probably be between 5' 9" and 5'11" that's so much taller than his Mommy.

Enough rambling for now. I promise to update with some pictures shortly. Hope every one's enjoying this Winter of ours. I think I am also ready for spring to be here, because once it's here we are that much closer to our WDW trip. Only 117 Days left!! Woo Hoo!

Is It Really Over?

Fall. I can't believe that it has came and went. It really went by way too fast this year. I know that it isn't officially over until December 20th. As the first official day of Winter is December 21st. I am not sure about how the weather has been around the rest of the state or the country for that matter but it sure has been cold here. We have been having flurries already. Last year we didn't see flurries this early. All three days this week when I went to pick up the kids it started flurrying. It's not even Thanksgiving yet. Now don't get me wrong I am actually enjoying the early winter weather. It's just a little weird. Not just two weeks ago we were out in the yard with the kids playing in the leaves. Yes it was a little cool but nothing like these last few days have been.

Well I really can't account too much for the last couple of days as I haven't stepped out of the house too much since yesterday afternoon. My wonderful sinus infection has come back in full force. I am now on my second round of antibiotics. I did not go to work on Thursday because my head felt like it was going to explode at any moment. Instead I stayed in bed most of the night as well of most of the day today. My head is feeling much better, not 100% but better. As a result of staying in bed most of the day I am now not tired when I should be. Go figure.

Enough about me, I would like to share some pics of the kids playing in the leaves in the yard from about two weeks ago. Also this week at preschool Jacob has been learning all about Indians and Thanksgiving. He made a "Indian" necklace, a Indian Headband and a noise maker all at school. One night while at home Nana and the kids also made an Indian Headband, they had quite a bit of fun. With pictures to prove it. I know I am a bit behind on sharing pictures but better late than never, right?

~My Little Indians~

April here already and the current temp here is 72 degrees. However it's overcast and there is a chance of rain, but 72 people. I hope that the weather continues to get better, Yeah April!

Has anyone noticed that there's only 39 days left until Joe and I leave for Hawaii? We couldn't be more excited. We can hardly wait. I really don't think it's so much that we're going to Hawaii, now don't get me wrong we're totally pumped about where we're going. But I mostly think it's just the whole idea that we are going on a VACATION!

Slighty Irritated

Yes me, slightly irritated can you guess why? Well let me tell you, earlier today when I looked at our weather thing on our desktop it said few pm snow showers. I am okay with that, like I said before just snow if you're gonna snow. At about 9:00pm or so when I had just come back from my break one of the other CSM's says to me it's snowing outside. It's coming down pretty good out there. I then go check it out for myself and sure enough it's coming down pretty good.So good in fact that the whole parking lot and sidewalk are covered in white. Again I am still okay with this. Until it's time for me to go home, it's freezing out as I am walking to my car. I am now driving home and it's still snowing,still okay. Now I am about half way home and just about to our exit on the freeway and all of a sudden NO SNOW. I get off the free way and still NO SNOW. Down the road some more and just about to our neighborhood and still yep, NO SNOW. I tell ya, you would have thought I drove to another state or something with the difference in weather. At our house not a drop or a flake of snow. I only knew it was snowing in Winchester because well I had snow on my car from while I was at work. This is just absolutely crazy how can it be snowing so much on one side of town and not the other. I just don't get it.Sorry about all that ranting.Just really had to get it out and well you were here: ) Oh and I also added a weather.com thing at the bottom of the page. If you want to check the weather in your neck of the woods all you have to do is click on settings and then type in your zip code,and wallah.

I know that I said my next post would be my funny little Jenna story and I promise that is next. I must also say that I can't stay irritated too long when I have such cute kids. They are both fast asleep in their beds,but I turned on the camera as I always do when I come home. I always have to check to see if Daddy took any pics while I was at work. And tonight he did. How can anyone resist this cute little funny face?

Not really sure what the face is all about so I'll have to find out tomorrow from Daddy.

This is one of yesterday's funny faces,

but she's been smiling a lot like this lately.

More snow...oh and some recent pics.....

Yes it's snowing again. It started around 8ish I think, I was at work and it was extremely busy. You would think they were calling for a blizzard or something. People came in, in droves and it's not like they were buying just the necessities. They were buying groceries like they were going to be snowed in for days or something. It was a little funny. So for those people's sake I hope that this snow does amount to something. I wouldn't really mind either since I am off for the next two days. So it could really do what ever it wants as long I don't have to go out in it, and hopefully since the weekends about here no one else will have to go out in it. If you do please be safe. The snow was coming down pretty good when I was driving home tonight,especially on 81. Onto a new subject now..

I noticed that I haven't really posted any pics of the kids in my latest posts so here's some pics from the last week or so....Enjoy

These are in no particular order. But they go as follows starting from left top pic. Last Sunday while I was at work and Daddy was on the phone with me Jenna decided she was too hungry to wait for Daddy and opened up her own package of oatmeal and started to eat it. Next Jacob and Jenna after a bath. Next Jenna has finally become a dipper, neither one of the kids has really been into dipping anything in to anything unlike most kids. But suddenly they both like syrup and love to dip with it. Next Daddy recently came upon a different fruit called a Pummelo it's kind of like a grapefruit, kind of. This is the peel from the pummelo on Jacob's head, he's too silly. Next is a picture Nana took of me and the kids for Daddy. Next Jenna blowing bubbles in her bath. And last but certainly not least Jacob giving me his cute little smile,while taking a bath.

Hope everyone has a good weekend where ever you may be. And again stay safe!

Can I say I told you so?

Did I not say that it would snow since I returned the kids snow suits. Joe said that this is my fault I did it to myself. I just had to go and talk about it so now it's happened. I know that the snow didn't really amount to much but it did snow. What about this crap of weather they're calling for this weekend? A wintry mix both Friday and Saturday, lovely my two days off. I think perhaps it's only going to get worse.What do you think? Where's spring? I am really ready for 70 degree weather.How about you all?

I went to work a little early today because I had a CSM meeting. Work was very slow tonight not a whole lot of people out shopping in this yucky weather. I also left a little early tonight and the roads weren't too terribly bad. The Wal-Mart parking lot however was horrible, very very icy. I had to walk very slow and take baby steps to insure I did not fall. Then when I got to my car I had to yank on the door I don't know how many times because it was stuck shut by a nice layer of ice,fun! I hope every one else is doing what they can to not have to be out in this ugly weather.
Sorry I am kind of all over the place tonight, just some random rantings from Jamie........

Stay safe!

Crazy Weather...

How about this crazy weather we're having? Right at this moment it is 27 degrees and there is freezing rain. It was also doing this on my way home tonight. The roads however were not as bad as I thought they would be. I really wish that it would just pick something to do and just do it. Rain, Snow, Sleet, Ice but just one at a time. I don't know about where everyone else is but here it pretty much snowed on and off for most of the day. Never really amounting to anything,then when I left for work this evening it decided to start raining a little bit. And as for the rest of the week tomorrow it's supposed to be rainy, then sunny on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Friday the high is supposed to be in the 50's and then back to a high in the 30's on Sat. Then get this on Sunday a high in the 40's but a chance of a Wintery mix? I really don't like this on again off again weather. I am so ready for Spring to be here. Come on sunny days and weather in the 70's. Hope everyone is staying safe during this crazy weather.

It's Snowing!!!

Well the weather man was finally right for once when he predicted snow. I don't know how long it will snow for or how much we will actually get but we are getting our first snow of the season. I am enjoying just being able to stay in the house and watching it snow from the inside. Jacob was supposed to have his weekly speech today but the school's on early dismissal so I've opted not to take both the kids out in this cold weather. What I have attempted to do today however is take some pictures of the kids for our Christmas cards that I should have started at least a week ago. And I have to say I'm having just about as much luck as K over at The Abel Boys. What a chore it has been, Jacob is being such a good big brother is sitting patiently waiting for Jenna to cooperate for Mommy. Wait till everyone sees what a big boy my Jacob looks like in his cute little outfit Mommy picked out for their pictures. And well Jenna just looks like my little princess as usual, but a non cooperative one. Hope everyone is staying warm and cozy and enjoying this weather from the inside.
