I'm tagging whoever read and hasn't done this yet!

Uh-oh, hes on the move!

Yes, thats right folks..Tony-boo is on the move. My precious, sweet little boy is now a crawling little man. He is loving being on the move, hes not that fast yet..luckily, but he is going. Alina is loving it, she thinks its great that he can go go go. She also now thinks brother can give her "horsey" rides. We're working on that one. Hes so much fun though, hes such a great baby. He turned 8 months old on the 11th, can you believe it?! Holy crap.

I had my interview last week..it went VERY well. I should find out soon if I got the job or not. I hope I do get it. If I don't thats fine..I know a few other places that are hiring and want me..so either way I will have a job soon. Whoo-hoo!

We are making and decorating sugar cookies tomorrow which should prove to be entertaining. I'll post pics of the disaster...*ahem* I mean the results. LoL.

The kids may get in to modeling soon. Who knows. An agency is looking at their pics...I should hear back soon.

Here are some pics of them from today:

Tony-boo:





























Alina Marie:
































Christmas tree in the museum here in Omaha, yes thats my DH in the corner. Gives you and idea of the tree size huh?! It has to be anchored to the ceiling with rope.



























Will write more later! Ttyl!

Wow, I'm terrible about this..

First off...thank you Shawnie for reminding me I really need to keep this thing updated more. Yeesh.

Secondly- to anyone whos actually still checking up on my blog, sorry that I haven't updated lately. I'll do better. I'm sure someone will remind me!

So things have been crazy around here. I'm trying to find a job and it looks like DH is going to be a stay-at-home-dad while I work. At least until a day care becomes available that is. Way to switch rolls huh? LoL. Its going to be so weird leaving my babies while I go to work though, I am not really ready to do that at all, but someone needs to make money around here. I was so upset at myself though today. I had to take a test for the job I wanted and I had to get 5000 keys per hour (kph) for 10-key data entry. Well I've been practicing and practicing and today I took the final test. I got 4,834 kph. Can you believe that? I was SO freaking close. I guess I am meant for a different job. Everything happens for a reason.

The kids are doing great. Tony is almost ready to crawl. He keeps getting up on his hands and knees and rocking like he wants to take off. I'm not ready for my baby to start to crawl or walk for that matter! *tear* Hes doing so great though, hes a great little boy. Always happy and smiling. He wakes up every morning and from naps the same way, happy and talking. Alina however is a grump. Shes my high-maintenance child. Shes still constantly sick and pretty miserable. Poor kid is only 21 lbs as of today. Shes a smart little girl though. Shes picked up many words she shouldn't know, some Spanish and knows her numbers through 15. Shes always cracking us up. :)

Anyway, thats a quick update from here. More later!

Oops.

Sorry I haven't posted much. Its been crazy trying to adjust to having my husband home finally. Hes been home just over a month I can't hardly believe it. The kids are growing like crazy. Alina is potty training herself which is nuts, I am shocked about that. She has to go the hospital seeing as she got a blister on her foot and it got infected. Oy. Plus shes having a ton of sleep issues, its stressful. Tony is still a wonderful baby, even though hes teething. Hes trying to roll over currently, but hes too lazy. He will get halfway there and give up, silly kid. Hes 4 months already! Its not fair!

Here are some pics/videos of the kids, I'll write more later!

Tony smiling:











Ok mom, enough.












Enough mom!













Being cute, both kids

Wow, its just been over 17 weeks..its nuts! I can't believe its been that long since I last saw him. More amazing yet is that in just a couple of days he will be home. The next entry I make will be full of homecoming pics! When I talked to him last he was so excited to be coming home and meeting his son.

Today is the 4th of July so we're grilling out with some friends. We're also getting ready for the homecoming, just going to hang up the sign on the gate...and probably make one more. I talked to him this morning and our flight was delayed, but thats no worries...he'll be home by the end of the week!

Happy 4th everyone!

Pictures

Here are the pics that I promised of the kids, they are getting SOOO big!

Oy vey

Today is just one of those days where I'm really really missing my hubby. I don't know maybe its because tomorrow is offically 3 months since he left, or time is just going too slow before he comes home. Either way since last night I've been crying off and on and just sad. He can't come home soon enough thats for sure. This weekend our friends Robert, Jamie and Ryan have been helping me get the house in perfect order for the homecoming even though its a couple of weeks away. Once its all perfect and stuff I'll have to take pics and show ya'll, I love my house. Its a 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 car automatic garage fully carpeted house. I'm gonna miss it when we leave, thats for sure.

The kids are doing wonderful. Alina is growing up so so fast. This week she started saying "please" and asking for stuff, its quite sweet. I actually have video of her doing it, heres the video:
