Danton 7 months

He thinks he is pretty hot stuff now that he can stand up when ever he wants. Although he is having new trouble falling asleep, cause he gets up and can't get back down, so he just cries and cries as his feet start slipping apart until he can't balance any more and falls over. However it usually doesn't take that long, he can hold him self up for quite a while, I usually go in there and take him down before he falls...usually. :)

TAP AGAIN!!

I'm going to start tap dancing again in 2 weeks, I'm SO excited. I found out that a sister in my ward use to own a dance studio, so a couple weeks ago I ask if she would be interested in teaching again. She said that would be fun and we talked for a few mins. Well I kept thinking about it and since we are moving to a new ward next week I thought I'd better talk o her while I could. I gave her a call yesterday, she said "wow, you're serious about this aren't' you" I laughed and said "very serious" She said she hadn't thought about it since we talked until the night before I called her.
So we talked for about 10 mins and decided that after we move I will give her a call and we will start dancing once a week at her house. She will teach me as long as she can. I' excited though cause it's a very casual setting. I can bring my kids, so I don't' have to worry about Mark being home or studying, and she has an open schedule so we can do it when ever is good for me. I'm SO excited!
The last time I was in class I was 8 months pregnant with Danton and my balance was not that great. So I wasn't really in the shape I wanted to be in. I just think this is going to work out great, cause Lydia is going to LOVE coming with me. I took Lydia and Danton to my tap class when he was about 2 months old just to show them off, and Lydia would have stayed and watched for the entire class, she loved watching them dance.

moving

I haven't been doing much posting lately. It's not really been on my mind. I have been focused on moving instead. We are just moving into Springfield, so it's no big deal, but I still have to clean and pack and I've got 2 weeks to get it all done.
We are so excited about our new place. Love the location. It's about a block south of Battlefield, and it's off of Golden/Scenic. (between Kansas, and West By Pass) It's a town house and it's bigger then our current place and CHEAPER! WOOT WOOT! AND we get 2 months of FREE rent. So we are going to take that money and finally buy us a bed. YES! We move on the 24, two weeks from tomorrow. Can't wait. So if you don't hear much from me in the next couple weeks you know why. :)

I am enjoying...

I am enjoying a fat free, sugar free, calorie free, guilt free milk shake. Want my recipe? sure! It's got one banana, 5 strawberries, a dash of skim milk, several scoops of country rich vanilla Ice cream, and Hershey's milk chocolate pieces.
How in the world? Do you ask. Here is my secrete. I cleaned my ENTIRE room today, AND did my dishes after dinner. ANYTHING is possible. :)
p.s. I didn't even shove anything under my bed! :)

Moden Lilly

Lydia cycles through favorite movies, right now her favorite movie is Thoroughly Modern Millie, or as she likes to call it Moden Lilly. She sings the songs and quotes the movie, and it's so funny to me, cause this is one of my favorite movies and to hear Lydia sing Tapioca in the car on the way home from Wal Mart just cracks me up.
She was watching it yesterday and there was some slow dreamy music (the first time Trevor Graden sees Miss. Dorothy) and she picks up her frog and started ballroom dancing. It was so funny. So I grabbed my camera to take a picture...then the batteries died. By the time I got new ones she had moved on, but I did manage to get her to do it again. I got a video too which I'll post later...only she was just running in the video, either way it was cute.

Last night she complained of a stomach ache, so Mark gave her a tums, we get the fruity ones so now she thinks it's candy. This morning she started telling me she was sick again. I told her to eat her breakfast, and that would help her feel better. But she kept complaining, well maybe she really doesn't feel good. So I told her I would get her a bowl to throw up in.
PAUSE. "No mom, I dis feel bedder. I don't wana srow up in da bowl. I dis need Daddy med-a-sin"
ha ha ha that's what I thought. Medicine sounded great but if she has to throw up in a bowl maybe being sick isn't that fun. :)
