I doubt anyone is reading any more since it has been 4 months since I posted! A lot has happened in that time. Owen turned one and finally learned to walk. Maggie started preschool and is having a blast. After the 2nd week the teacher told me she thought Maggie could teach the class by December. She is quite a talker! I started a new job. I'm still with the same company, but I finally like my new job- I'm in HR. I am the main contact for employees with HR related questions. Open Enrollment has been fun- I have learned a lot in a short period of time!
I'll post pics soon- probably after Thanksgiving!

Oooops!
I didn't realize it had been 2 months since I posted- Sorry!
In the last 2 months lots has happened! Ben found a new job and has been on the job for 6 weeks. It is so nice to have him working again! (if you want details- feel free to email me!)
Maggie left 2 weeks ago on a car trip to NJ to see moms family. Owen and I flew out on 7-3 and met them. We then flew home on the 8th and they got back on Wednesday night. The kids were amazing- Owen was a great flier! he fell asleep before take off on all 4 flights and woke up about 20 minutes before we landed on all 4. I had people asking me what I gave him:) maggie was a great traveler too- never asking "are we there yet"- give her a year or 2 for that.
She spent the 10 days in the pool or on the beach. Seriously- that's about all she did! She was in and out my aunts pool more than you can imagine- she can doggie paddle with the best of them now. My little fish:)
Here is a picture of Maggie with my friend Katie and her husband Greg- she how she adores Katie! I'm glad they finally got to meet. Now to meet greg and for her meet Owen!
Maggies new favorite sport- shell finding!
The Pool...
Maggie had to wear the flower in the her hair- I think she looks adorable!
I promise it won;t be another 2 months! I'll try to post at least weekly from now on!

Dreams
Conversation from the commute this morning:
M: last night I had a dream that bullhead (?) from Meet the Robinsons tried to take me and papa, but the boy from the future and his family saved us. We had crazy hair dos and I was wearing a funny dress. Isn't that silly?
Seriously, I wish I remebered my dreams in as much detail as she does!
She had her last tumbling class on Saturday so we all went to the "performance." She did well on the actual "moves"- but during the middle she sat and tickled the girl next to her and distracted all of them, so the teacher had to move her to her own corner... oooops:) I'll try to post a pic sometime. I will post one of her new haircut too- the bangs are a bit short, but they'll get there.
Yesterday at Sunday school she drew a picture of a person- and I could tell right away- I almost cried I was so surprised:) I said "maggie thats a person!" (ok it was circle with eyes, nose and mouth with 2 really long legs and maybe 1 arm:) her answer was " and those are your words" So she drew me talking- big surprise:)
Owen is pulling up on everything! He is so proud of himself- he'll pull up- then turn and grin at you- silly boy:) he is also sleeping better- yeah!!!

Busy weekend
We had a busy- but fun weekend. Mom and dad were here with Sarah- but her plane left at 5 on Saturday. Sarah and I checked out the new Sephora store at Jordan Creek Friday night- I could easily become addicted!
Jane Nicholas and her family came to town on Saturday for Adam Whitney's wedding (talk about a clash of my worlds!) so we got to have lunch with them. Maggie and Janes daughter Isabelle had a great time together!
Maggie had another tumbling class- the teacher told her she was doing much better and she was so happy!
Saturday night was Maggies first concert. She did great sitting (mostly quietly!) through Ben masterworks chorale concert. It was less than an hour long and she had a great time. Once the music started she turned to me and said "it's music to my ears:)"
Yesterday was Sunday School and shopping! As Maggie has been known to say "it's always something!"
Owen had a nice weekend too:) I can't leave him out!
I'll try to post some pics this week.
Have a great week!
PS- for those of you who went to Middle School with me- do you remeber who our 7th grade math teacher was?

Contraptions
We went to lunch with mom and Sarah yesterday at Spaghtti works. Maggie says she is scared- I ask why- her answer "look at those contwaptions up there" meaning all of exposed painted pipes:)
On a totally unrelated note- I love the soundtrack to Wicked! I have listened to it twice today already.
I need anyone who reads this to send sleep vibes to Owen... he was only up twice last noght- but I need a full nights sleep already!!!!!!

Ooops!
So I wasn't able to login and I was blaming blogger- nope my own fault!
Mom has been staying with us since Wednesday night and watching the kids- what would I do without her??? Sarah flies in today and Maggie can't wait to see her!
O has been doing fine, if you overlook the yucky cold he has had for over a week and the lack of sleep! (both Owen and mama!) he is happy as a clam during the day- but nights aren't much fun! He has mastered army crawling and is quick- I love to watch him chase after his train!
She had her 2nd tumbling class Saturday and did fine- she is one of only a couple kids that can't do a somersault by themselves, but she is also one of the youngest. She'll get it eventually!
Easter was fun- the bunny brought 2 baskets:) (Thank you Aunt Leah!) So she was doubly excited!
Some funnies:
From M while watching "Ace of Cakes"
M: Mama you can have some of dadas wedding cake when he gets married.
Me: I would hope I am the one he is marrying!
M: No mama, he will marry a dirtier woman.
Me:(once I could breathe again after laughing so hard!) Where did you hear that?
M: Shrek.
(I need to watch it again I guess!!)
I went to pick her up from Sunday School yesterday and she hugged the teacher and said "I have jesus in my heart" that was the theme of the lesson, so the teacher was happy to know that it rubbed off:)
Mom had her draw a card for my nana (she is in a lot of pain from shingles) Maggie wrote and wrote and then told mom what it said "god loves you. you need to pray. say Thank you for your wonderful family" Seriously I don't know where she gets it- we just started going to church on a regular basis... Maybe Sunday school is rubbing off on her!
Have a great Monday!

Mondays.... what more can I say:)
What a busy weekend! M started her tumbling class on Saturday and had a great time. We also went and bought her new big girl car seat- she got to pick it out, so of course it has pink flowers on it:) Whatever works! Yesterday we went to Marshalltown to see the in-laws and we got to watch Cars on grandpas new projection tv- 4 by 8 feet would about take up our whole wall- but it was kind of neat.
I realized I forgot to mention O in my last post! Oooops! He is getting bigger by the minute and is army crawling to get where ever he wants to go. He can get up on his hands and knees and rocks, but can't quite figure out the real crawl out yet (and I hope it takes awhile! At least he is slow moving right now.)
I'll try to post pictures soon!
M on the commute this morning was having her stuffed panda sing to O- "I don't mind if slobber on me, Please don't grab on me, and on and on" Then she says "that was wrotten by Panda Cosette. all of the panda operas are wrotten by panda cosette." I'm still giggling about her made up songs!

It's about time...
I finally decided to jump on the blogwagon! I am hoping to keep you all updated on the latest in the lives of M and O... M's newest crazy sayings and O's newest things.
I'll start with a Maggie funny from the commute this morning:
M: Isn't it nice of Santa to let us buy ornaments to put on our tree? he even let me buy one in the shape of him.
and another from the same trip
M: Can you put on Cosette (castle on a clud from Les Mis) because it is like a lullaby and I didn't get enough sleep. When ever this song is on people just fall asleep...
She is full of them! I'm sure you will be sick of reading them, but this is a good way for me to document them all!!
Tomorrow morning is her first Tumbling class through parks and rec. She is so excited about meeting new friends- this seems to be her newest obsession. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
I get to out with a friend for dinner tonight and then to dualing pianos- for those of you who know jared Hall, he is in it and I have been wanting to go forever! Tonight B gets to babysit and I get to have fun!
Have a great weekend!
