What's new?

I have been avoiding the blog because honestly, i feel like there is nothing to say. but I guess it has been long enough that there is SOMETHING new going on in our lives. Ok, Happy new year-can you believe that january is already halfway gone?! I am still working away 50 hours a week-it's not a big deal as i am used to this schedule and enjoy working. Trent made it through his first semester of school with no absenses. He loves going to school, but i cannot believe that this is the last half of kindergarten for him. Gwen is doing great and every day she talks more and more. Since she doesn't say words too much yet she likes to yell really loud constantly. Like yesterday in the car i was trying to tell Trent something and everytime i would open my mouth Gwen had something to 'say' as well. She wants so much to be part of everything we do. We have been going to the YMCA and it has been really good for all of us. Rob started his first semester of school and Gwen is going to the babysitter twice a week. She will love it there as they have two other little girls and Gwen really likes being around other kids. I have been busy trying to find a new car, since my lease is up in Feb, so that has been stressful. And i have an addiction to Avon-i orderd almost weekly, and i blame mom for that. :) Well, that seems to be all I can think of for now. :)

YMCA

we just joined the YMCA!

Just Dye your Jeans!

Ok, so all my jeans were getting pretty worn and faded. I realized I didnt' have any nice, dark jeans to wear outside of work. So insted of spending money on a new pair, I got the fabulous idea to DYE my jeans! So I searched the internet for the best way to do it, what color to get, etc.

here is what my jeans looked like before my little experiment:

And here is how they turned out:

Gwen's new PJ's

We cannot wait until Halloween! Correction: We cannot wait for October so we can decorate for Halloween!! :) But here is a new pair of PJ's i found for Gwen-she loves them...was hugging them the whole time in the store.

I like to Eat Eat Eat Apples and Bannanas!

Trent's Birthday Cake

I'm a slacker-but here are some pictures from Trent's birthday. We made a rainbow cake for the first time!

It didn't turn out so well, the recipe said to only add sprite and NOTHING else to the cake mix-it wasn't good...so next time I plan to follow the regular recipe.
