So I haven't been keeping up

So, here we are again. I know that I am horrible at actually writing on here, it's just been so crazy lately! I feel like I have no time anymore.

Josh's last day at 1st Impression, Inc. was today. He starts at Second Nature on Monday so we will see how that goes. I know that it's been a stressful past 2 weeks for him, poor guy!

I am in the midst of planning Connor's 2nd birthday, which I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that he's going to be 2 already, where did the time go! We are just having the party at the house again this year. Next year we will probably go somewhere else to have it but it just works out better this way this year. It's going to be a balloon theme, lots and lots and lots of balloons! There's actually going to be other kids there this year so they can actually play, it's going to be so cute!! Of course I can't wait and I have over 35 people invited already! Oh, well, the more the merrier right?

I am still in school, it's going, I wish I could say that it was going better but it's tough when you have a toddler and work full time. I am passing so that's what counts to me right now. I just need to get on the ball and get at least one certification under my belt.

Connor is getting so independent lately. He also has my attitude, paired with Josh's patience level (or lack of patience is more like it) and I am finding that this is not a good combination! The other morning he wanted to bring both his chenile & puppy blankets to daycare and I said no, just the chenile and he refused to talk to or look at me the entire ride to daycare! When he did look at me, it was to give me a nasty glare and then he would turn and look out the window! He was giving me attitude!! I couldn't believe it!

In other Connor news, we have started to "prep" for potty training. We aren't starting the actual potty training yet but we are letting him sit on the potty when he wants to to get used to it and encouraging it and so forth, that way when we do start, it won't be a complete shock to him. Well, last weekend, while he was sitting on the potty, he actually peed! He has peed in the potty twice and he even pooped in the potty once! I know, for those of you reading that don't have kids, this is probably way more info than you bargined for but for those of us with kids, you know you love to share these moments! Again, growing up way to fast!!

Work has been crazy busy for me this past week, I think that I have been getting on average about 40 emails a day! At least it's busy though and I have something to do, it's better than just sitting there doing nothing!

We are getting the basement finished up hopefully with the "remodeling" that is left. All we have left is pretty much small stuff, like the trim :) We are also installing benches along the back wall with storage underneath. Then once we finish up with that, we are going to be enlarging the cutout that looks from the living room into the kitchen to a 4'x4' opening. Once that happends (hopefully early March) then we are going to install the new tv! We just got an awesome new 52" LCD flat screen that is going to give us so much more room in the living room! The tv that we currently have in the living room is going to the basement family room and then we can hook up the Wii down there instead of having it in our bedroom, that will be nice!

Well, I think that for now that's about it. It's going to be a BUSY next 2 months! Feb we still have Connor's birthday party, Valentine's day, the basement finishing up, and Laini's Bachlorette party, then March has Eric's Bachleor party, my birthday, Josh's Grandma's birthday, the living room remodel, Eric & Laini's wedding, and there was something else going on but for the life of me right now I can't remember what it is. Hopefully I will be able to update this a little more often and also get some new pics up as well!
