Maybe it's just me...??

I don't know what the deal is but today I have been trying to upload pictures on blogger but it is not letting me do anything!! I tried to do the video the other day and it never loaded and now I select a picture to upload and it keeps telling me I need to select a picture to attach. UGHHH!! I am done messing with blogger today...hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. :) Till then. Good night.

Newest Trick

Today Sydnee decided to show us her newest trick! She can finally walk when she pushes something. Before she just wouldn't move her legs so now she can move her legs and walk with things. (I will post the video later)

Day 3

Day 03- A habit that you wish you didn’t have. Biting my nails!!! I really have been trying to get better at this...I paint my fingernails so I will leave them alone. Hopefully I will get better at this...Ryan and I went out of town for our anniversary so I haven't kept up very well!

Day 1

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.


1. I married my hubby when I was only 19 years old.

2. I L.O.V.E. me some diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Pepsi...not really for the caffeine as much as the taste and the fizz!

3. I am a definite people person. I love to be with friends and family whenever I can!

4. I have always talked a lot...my nickname my uncle Rob gave me when I was SO little was Gab.

5. I have my degree in Elem. Education but I haven't ever had a formal teaching job...only long term substituting and substituting in general before I had Nate.

6. I was a packrat growing up. I remember when we moved to Las Vegas I had the most boxes out of everyone in my family...I want to say like 9 or so of just my stuff. I have kind of learned how to tame it but I still find myself holding on to things that I really don't need...i.e. the other day I found a box that I had at my mom's house when we lived there and I went through it and found EVERY paper and project that Nate did in preschool! I mean I really thought I should keep all of his work. I immediately looked through it all and I tossed it all in the garbage. I have to make a conscious effort to go through the junk that sits around and throw the things out I don't really NEED.

7. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. Which I never even knew about until I was in my 20's.

8. Going along with my need to keep things...I really like to scrapbook. I didn't really think about it much in high school except to keep everything. I did put a few things on paper and put them in a binder but since then I really like to put the pictures I have into pages...don't let me fool you though because I am NOT creative so just getting the pictures on paper and in a binder is good for me. :)

9. I love to read but as a mom I don't get to read as much as I would like. I guess that's what comes along with 3 kids! I do have a goal to read more books this year so I definitely need to get started!

10. I have started many series and not finished them....i.e. Harry Potter (I think I got to book 4), Work and the Glory (I am on book 3), I never finished The Host, and there are too many others to name. I want to finish these but I am not sure when I will!

11. I am definitely not a very good morning person! Sometimes I will get Nathan out the door and if the girls are still sleeping I go back and get in bed. Just another 30 minutes please???

12. I have never been much of a routine type of a person but with 3 kids I am getting to where I have to have more routines.

13. I love to play games! Card games, word games and really any games....even on my phone!

14. I am not really a snow person! I wish we had the winters that Las Vegas has and that I grew up with...mild!

15. I have never had a traffic ticket or been pulled over! Pretty good right?! (Knocking on wood!!!)

Christmas 2010

I haven't ever post pictures of our Christmas from 2010 so for my children's sake here you go...We had a pretty low key Christmas here in our home which was so nice but very quiet with not much family! Ryan's parents came and stayed for a couple of days before Christmas and then we went to Nana and Papa's house for a breakfast on Christmas day. The holidays are a crazy time but we had a wonderful time being together as a family especially since Ryan is able to take the last couple of weeks of the year off! :) Here are the pictures we got from our Christmas 2010.
