Times they are a changin'

My little baby girl is going to be 3 next week. I feel like I missed her baby years because I didn't get to spend 100% quality time with her like I did with Brooke. As we all know, Alexis has her own little agenda and no one is going to get in her way. I worry less about Alexis than I do about Brooke. Brooker is such a softie where Lexi is a tough chick.

On the "best parents in the world" front - last night John and I were relaxing and watching the news while the kids ran in circles naked yelling and screaming (see you think I'm making that up but it's the truth). At some point you just get tired from work, dinner, cleaning, telling them to stop running with the scissors (again, truth) that you just give up. So we gave up. Sat, watched tv and let them run (sans scissors of course). Well, you know where this is going, *SMASH*. They collided head on into each other and bounced back about 5 feet each. They both were oddly quiet for about 2 seconds trying to figure out what happened. Lexi's eyes were glazed over and Brooke's mouth was bleeding. Once everyone got a parent and relaxed it appeared there were not permanent injuries. Just another night in parent-ville.

In other news - John and I went to California - you've all seen the pictures. But here is this one again because I got the pose right and appear to have normal sized hips!

John won an award for top 3 sales reps in the country and, because of his sale, his company won an award for outstanding sales or something like that - the award ceremony was about 3 hours long, his stuff was near then end, shortly after the slideshow which included rats larger than a dog, again the truth!

We had one half of a day together and we went to Laguna Beach. We got to dip our toes in the water which is pretty cool - Atlantic and Pacific oceans both in January 2008. Pacific kicks Atlantics butt by the way. I am definitely retiring to S. Cali much better landscaping and v. cool vibe. See I could fit in.

In additional to the LOUD ticking clock and the 30 lb. paperweight that he won, we received a trip to Mexico! So we'll be off again April 10th - 13th. It's a quick trip but it's all inclusive and free so we're doing it.

Anyone interested in sitting for two little sweethearts? Let me know....
