Eight Years

So on Memorial day we spent the day celebrating our 8th anniversary! It was a great day. We spent the day as a family and went out for dinner. Nothing too exciting but it was nice.
Life is definately good for us, just a bit chaotic. We went to Chico over the weekend of the 19th and 20th for the state bowling tournament. We had an enjoyable time. Brian bowled on the saturday with his team and they did alright. We went to the best restuarant in Chico for dinner and found it to be the new least desireable eatery. (that story in a few. Brian went back to bowl in a masters tourney that evening and did very very well, he has a pretty good chance of heading back for the finals because he did so well. It was definately worth it. We also saw Don and Janae, Trevor and Shaylee... they are so cute. Besides that it has been the regular routine... work/ childcare, bowling (we are doing a couples summer league on tues. nights. For as good as Brian is- I am equally bad... but practice makes better...lol), then we have of course the chores around the house and ocassional get togethers with coworkers and friends. It is amazing how busy life is and then thinking about it, how much of the business we create for ourselves.
Kristy has jokes lately. Yesterday she was asking, Mommy do you know how to spell _______ (milk/water/dishes/happy/chuck-e-cheese, etc.) I would respond, "yes do you know how to spell it?" She would laugh and say NO and quickly ask if I could spell something else. Of all the things we went through she still remembers how to spell cool. She's learning and having fun in the process.

Brian and Kristy have been enjoying playing games, Kristy is much more into physical activities, she loves to go in the back yard and hit balls around with her bat. She made more shots than she missed when she was playing basketball with the mini hoop. And of course bowling is another favorite, sadly enough she with bumppers can give me a run for my money. Of course if I play with the bumpers its more of a fair game... lol.



Katy is grabbing onto toys now and responds very quickly to people. If you are lucky you get a big smile followed by a giggle, if you arent so lucky you will get the full out cry that a friend told me "should be bottled and sold to planned parenthoods across the nation". She is really growing so fast. She is a talker as long as she has a clean bottom and full belly... and if she isnt talking in that situation she is sleeping. She is such a breath of fresh air. (and she started crying as I wrote that...lol)
