12. Charlotte's smile and soft skin
13. Loosing five pounds
14. Doing my taxes
15. My kids playing and laughing together
16. Caidence being potty trained

Well I could go on but this seemed to do the trick. I hope everyone has a great day!!

Caidence and Carmel

Carmel is our new ragdoll kitten. She is the sweetest most patient kitten ever. Caidence loves her so much. She carries her like I carry Charlotte, or sometimes upside down. She makes sure she eats, drinks and goes potty. She takes her kitten to bed for naps and make sure she is in bed with her for bedtime. I am surprised to see how responsible both my kids have become with this kitten, its pretty cute.

Other animal news, I am taking Nicolas and Caidence to go see Delta my aunts horse next week. For Christmas my parents gave them cowboy boots, hats, and really cute outfits and the promise that we will go ride Delta. Caidence loves horses if you ask her what she wants for her birthday or for Christmas it is always a new horse. I am sure after she gets to ride a real horse she will want the real thing, sorry kid you just got a kitten...

Sweet baby Charlotte

Since Christmas Charlotte has gotten two teeth, laughed, rolled over and said dada...She has gotten so big so fast I can hardly stand it. She still has trouble with milk but I have finally gotten used to my new diet that I hardly miss it. I do however on occasion have ice cream and depending on the amount I may or may not pay for it later. She has the sweetest personality I don't know how to explain it but she is so different from Caidence. She definitely balances out the other two and can instantly calm everyone on a bad day.

New Year Maddness

Does anyone else feel like they have a million goals for this year. I swear I have the longest list, probably because some from last year are rolling over. I have decided to take them one month at a time so they don't seem so over whelming. So for the next year I will be posting my months goals. I figure if I have them on my blog and not just on my fridge it will force me to stay on track. So for this month I want to accomplish:

1. Work out every day
2. Run a 10k by the end of the month
3. Pay off our Lowes credit card
4. Save $100 for our anniversary trip
5. Finish kids bedroom
6. Build a dog house

At the end of the month I should be able to check each one of these off, that is if Marc is helpful...I also need to get my kids back on their schedule. Ever since Christmas and our vacation they take their naps way to late then don't go to sleep until 9:30 it is driving me crazy. Part of the problem is they sneak out of bed and get their toys then play for an hour. So the cabinets are a must so the toys can be put away up high. I am also really excited about our anniversary this year. We are going to Catalina in May with out the kids. I found this awesome bed and breakfast on the beach and we are going to go snorkeling, hiking, jet skiing in the ocean and probably take a night cruise to feed the fish. I am just so excited I can hardly stand it. It has been two years since we have gotten away just the two of us. So I have until May 15 to get in swimsuit shape.
