January 2013 Updates
1/30 - I had a ton of work to do, so I decided to stay home and be
productive. I had to eat lunch so Greg, Kasey and I had lunch with
Landon which was fun. i did get a lot done.
We went to Mi Cocina for dinner that night. Kasey looks over at me and says look I made the Millennium falcon with her chip. It was cute
1/27 - Per my facebook post - It's been an up and down day. I backed up the new car to close to the garage, but Greg was able to get the paint off the mirror and nothing broke. I dropped my phone in the garage and cracked the screen, but everything still works and the worst part is in the top right where not much happens. Now I need to go work, but feel like just going to bed.
Also Kasey had a runny nose all day, but she didn't have fever. I didn't want to jinx that one.
1/26 - Landon had a basketball game in the morning. Landon did well scoring 4-5 baskets, passing some to teammates, and playing some defense. We had to sit up on stage because of the court the boys played on. Kasey and Drew played together. They ran around, played on ipad, and had to deal with another little boy saying they were mean when they weren't. It was pretty cute.
In the afternoon we went with cub scout activity with fire station tour of new Allen fire station.
Kids were a little crazy, but enjoyed it. They were running around outside before the tour and of course my kids got mud all over their shoes so they took the tour in socks.
That night i got to see Goonies - classic 80s movie.
1/25 - We went to family fitness night at Landon's school. They had activities for kids to do, healthy snacks, skateboarding, hool a hoops, basketball, zumba, boxing, football etc. Kids had a good time. Of course I dressed in more work out clothes and most other parents were in jeans. Guess I know for next year.
After we got kids to bed I went to Market Street to get some beer for us. Jimmy Buffer concert was on which was fun.
1/23 - I had to send an email from my laptop in the morning. Kasey got her little toy laptop out and was doing email as well.
1/20 - We picked up kids, went to lunch at Snuffers. Landon and Greg played tic tac toe - they played using math and star wars symbols which I thought was pretty cool.
Greg and Landon went to work on his pinewood derby car. Kasey and I went to a birthday party for one of her school friends. It was really cute. The girls got to dress up in princess dresses, they did their hair up (Kasey got a cute braid updo), they painted their nails and got necklaces, flowers and boas if they wanted. Then the girls did a fashion show which was really cute. They did a few games and songs and had cupcakes.
Landon was pretty tired so Kasey and I went to dinner just the two of us. She wanted Mexigo so that's where we went. We brought a little home to Greg.
1/19 - Landon had another basketball game. He had been practicing during the week on dribbling. He played an all around good game. He got 3 or 4 baskets, had multiple assists, and played good defense. 2nd half he was guarding the player on the other team that was really good. He played good defense with him. He got a star for all around good play which he deserved.
In the afternoon the kids and I went up to Kaseys room turned some music on and danced and
sang. We had a good time. Landon sometimes gets rough, but otherwise we had a good time.
That night we got to go out while kids stayed at the grandparents. We went to Seasons 52 for dinner and then to see Zero Dark 30 which was good. I even stayed awake during the movie.
1/18 - We had Kasey's Parent Teacher conference at school. she seems to be doing well and they don't have any concerns. We keep asking if she throws fits or gets upset with kids in class, and they haven't seen it. I guess both of our kids save misbehaving to when they get home. I guess that's better than doing it the other way. We will put her into PreK program next year. Crazy.
Kasey threw a complete fit going to dinner so Greg stayed home with her while Landon and I went out to dinner to Mi Cocina the two of us.
1/17 - Kasey has been potty trained during the day since she was 2, but still was wearing pull ups at night. She's been doing better staying dry at night, and so we decided Thursday to let her try going commando (no pullup). She did well for first few nights. Hopefully we have end in site of no pullups.
1/7 - 1/12 - I was in Las Vegas for CES. We had a good show for work. I was in charge from our group on the set up and making sure everything came together which luckily it did. We also got some good videos with our TITV crew there. We did get to play some as well in the evenings. I got to have dinner with my cousins who live there which is always fun. We got to go out for some dinners and enjoy Vegas into the later hours a few nights. We laughed a lot.
Unfortunately I missed Landon's first basketball game on SAturday, but Greg was able to video most of it. He's excited about playing and enjoying both offense and defense. His first game he got a star for offense sense he got a basket. His friend Colin was the only other team member to get baskets.
1/6 - We went to lunch today and worked on house stuff some. In the afternoon I took the kids for a biker ride. We went across Alma and rode to Landon's school. They got to ride bikes around the black top around for a while then we headed home. Landon is doing well, but still working on getting started. He can do it on his own but takes a little bit. Kasey kept talking about her kids during the ride and that they were on a bike ride as well.
1/5 - Landon had a playdate for a few hours, Greg was painting, and so Kasey and I went to the salon for manicures and pedicures. She loves it. They have a cute pink chair back so she can sit close enough to touch the water with her feet. She got purple toes, and light pink fingernail polish with flowers on her thumbs. She also got a virgin strawberry margarita which she thought was fun. Hers didn't take as long as mine and she was worried that I wouldn't get flip flops from the salon but I did.
1/4 - AT&T Cotton Bowl Day - We had lunch with the kids at home then took them to the Grandparents. We didn't get them tickets to Cotton Bowl because it was a night game. Doug, Greg and I headed out to Jerry World to do some tailgating. We set up and watched the A&M vs Alabama game before the game. With the sun out it wasn't to bad, but I still had hat on and blanket on me.
Dave and Tracy came by as we were starting to pack up to head to the stadium. We had pretty good seats. Up high but about 20 year line. It was a great game. Finally a bowl game that we weren't sure how it would end up but we dominated. Johnny Football played great, seniors did well, and the whole team had a good time (the fans too).
Greg looked it up that he's been to 12 bowl games with only 3 wins. I've been to 8 with 2 wins so not much better. Very exciting time to be an Aggie.
1/3 - Greg started working on painting our bedroom. He got almost half done. It's the last room in the house that hasn't been painted a color.
1/1/13 - I got up about 10am which still seemed early, got ready and went to get the kiddos. We had lunch with Grammy and Gramps and hung out for a while which was nice. Landon and Grammy had made some dessert that we had to try.
We had brought home some of the poppers from the party so we went out in the afternoon and did them with the kids. Kasey couldn't throw them down hard enough so on her own she started throwing them up so that they hit the ground hard enough to go off.
