Its been a while

Its been a while since I've been on here, and even longer since I've posted anything. Here's whats goin on at our house: Today is Justin's birthday! The big 4! I can't believe he is that old already! One more year then he's off to kindergarten....

This is Kaylynn's last week of school. Its amazing how much she has learned over these past 9 months of kindergarten. She is an awesome reader! Her teacher even commented on how fast she is at reading and how quickly she picks up on things. The other kids in her class even ask her for help with math problems. She must get the good math gene from dad because I am horrible with math!

Last Saturday Kaylynn and I went to Tae Kwon Do/Self Defense class. It was SO much fun! Kaylynn was pretty nervous at first and was a bit too giggly, but after a few minutes she was kickin butt! It was a really nice class and the instructor was really good. He taught the kids about goal-setting, being respectful, confidence, etc. Not to mention how to do a round kick! I strongly recommend anyone taking your kids, or yourself, to one of these classes. After we got home Kaylynn was teaching Justin how to do blocks, how to get away if someone is trying to take you, and how to bow and say "yes sir". I am pretty sure both my kids are getting signed up for these classes full time.

Just My Luck

2009 is not getting off to the best start for me. Last Saturday I woke up in excrutiating pain in my shoulder and thought maybe I had slept wrong. When the pain was still there by Monday morning I decided it was time to go see the doctor. Not being able to see my regular doctor that day, I went to urgent care where they told me I have a herniated cervical disc on my shoulder and a possible pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder area. I figured your cervical disc should be located by your cervix but hey I'm no doctor..anywho...I was put on pain medication, muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory steroids. Oh and I get to wear this rockin pink sling on my arm for a week! THEN...I went to Jenni's for her NYE party...I probably shouldnt have taken any of my muscle relaxers that day because after about 2 mojitos and a beer I was fast asleep on her couch by about 10:30 or so...I DID wake up to everyone shouting "Happy New Year!" but I jsut went right back to bed. Those muscle relaxers sure knock you out! At least I got a few pictures before I fell asleep...or so I thought...when I got home the next day I went to put pictures on my computer only to find that my entire memory card was wiped out...all of the pictures from Jenni's house and pictures of the kids opening presents on Christmas morning are GONE...then to put the icing on the cake...I went to work this morning and was sent home early because I really couldnt do anything with one arm in the infant room and I started driving out of the parking lot only to find that my tire was completely flat and ready to fall off the rim. I had to have Tyler drive out to get me and fix my tire. Hopefully this weekend my luck will turn around!
