2 1/2 Months!

Wow, I haven't blogged for 2 1/2 months. I don't know why, I guess I just don't take the time to type everything that is going on.
Emma's update:
She is still doing awesome using the potty, we just now have to get her to go thru the night. But there are times that she will wake up to go potty and sometimes she even wakes up completely dry. She still has the attitude of a teenage girl and it seems as tho it is getting worse. Man oh man, I don't know how I will deal when she is actually a teenager. Even tho she does have the attitude times, she is still a very sweet and caring little girl. Whenever she has something to eat she always shares it with Chase. She loves to be outside working with Daddy, she even picked going out to the woods with Daddy over going to Maw and Paws (that really surprised me). She is super smart!! We have a preschool workbook and Matt goes over it with her a lot. She knows her shapes and colors and even some numbers, but what surprises me is she can do patterns. Meaning in the book it will go circle square circle square circle then leave a blank and she knows it is a square. She can even do it when it has 3 different things in the pattern. She just amazes me!!! The beginning of September she started gymnastics. She LOVES it!!! I am so glad I put her in it. I'm thinking of putting her in a different gymnastics, b/c the one she is in they don't really do much and they really aren't all that organized. It was just convenient since it was in town. But there you have it, my fun loving, adorable little attitude girl!! I love her to death!!!
Update on Chase:
Oh man, he is a true monkey!! He is climbing on everything!!! He will pull out the dining room table chair and climb on that and then climb onto the table!! We was outside and he climbed up on the rider mower and then stood on top of the seat! Oh boy does he know how to give me a heart attack!! He currently has 11 teeth and is working on 12. He has broke the last 3 thru in the last 2 weeks, he has been so cranky (they are the molars)!! He got an ear infection, runny nose and a fever that took forever to go away and it was all from teething!!! He is an awesome little boy and trust me he is all boy!!! Even tho he does like to throw my purse on his shoulder. lol He can be quite mean at times. Tell him no or try taking something from him and he is quick to bite!! Plus he likes to slap. I sure hope this doesn't last too much longer!! He still takes a bottle to go to sleep, but that is the only time. I think I will break him after we get back from Vegas (yep, we're heading to Vegas but more on that latere). He is so full of energy and is a mama's boy with a small streak of being daddy's boy. lol He is my little man and he is so freakin cute with his blue eyes. I love him so much!!!
Ok, yep, we are going to Vegas. Just the hubs and I. We leave on a Sunday morning and don't return till Thursday evening and that is without kids. I'm totally excited to have time with my hubby and to be able to sleep in, but I'm just worried about leaving my kids. I mean, Chase is a mama's boy, what is he going to do without me?? Is he going to be ok?? Will he think his mommy left him?? Is Emma gonna freak out and cry and miss us to hysterics?? I know they will be ok, but really am I??? It was one of those trips we couldn't pass up. My hubby's work is sending him for a expo. So, all we have to pay for is my plane tickets, my food and whatever extra stuff we wanna do. How can ya beat that? Plus who knows if this will ever happen like this again, meaning I don't have a job that I have to use vacation for and my mil is off of work and able to watch them. What are the chances of everything working out like that again?? So, I gotta start packing and figuring out what I am taking. It is currenly 60 here and today was suppose to be a high of 100 in Vegas!!! So there is the fun part of what is going on!!
Just last week my hubby figured out how much we are in debt. Which I must say the number isn't really all that bad, seeing that A LOT of people pay more than that on a house. But we are figuring out what we need to pay off in what order. Hopefully we can get them paid off within the next 5 years, well besides the mortgage. I would be happy with that. Wow, in 5 years Emma will be 8 and Chase 6, I can't believe that I will have kids those ages. That means also that I will be 32 and my hubby 33, which age doesn't bother me. I may think it is totally crazy that I am that age, but it doesn't bother me that I am that age. Know what I mean??
Everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant, trying to get pregnant or having babies!! I am so happy for them, but it makes me miss it!!! But I'm good with the 2 I have!! In the past 2 months my friend Lynne had a gorgeous baby boy, a friend of a friend had a baby boy, another friend found out she was pregnant and I just found out that my cousin in trying! Oh wow, I'm sure there are others that I just can't think of right now, but it is just babies everywhere! But I am extremely happy for them all!!! There is nothing like having a baby, there is no joy or love that is like it!! I don't know what I would do without my kids, they are so special to me, they are my world!! I think in Vegas I will be lost and bored, b/c Matt is at the expo till 4, so that leaves me by myself. I don't want to wander around all by myself, so what will I do with all that quiet?? I guess I better take the laptop!!! lol Anyways, gotta go for now, but I'll try to update more frequently!!
