WE ARE STILL ALIVE LOL!!!!!

So I have been slackin BIG TIME on bloggin!!! That's what happens when you have a baby and a house that you are fixing up lol. A LOT has been going on since my last post in December. We had a great Christmas and it was fun watching Kassidy open her presents. Next thing that happened was I turned 26 in February :(. Dave got my windows on my Jeep tinted and got me a blingin set of Rock Star wheels :). Next came March and Dave and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary.... I know what you are all thinking and yes it has already been a year!!!! For our anniversary since I had already gotten the weekend off we decided to take a little family vacation and head down to St. George to visit Dave's grandparents, they had not seen Kassidy yet and we wanted them to see her while she was still little.Dave got me a Kindle for our anniversary and took me to The Cheesecake Factory when we got home from St. George. It was the first time either of us had been there and it was AWESOME!!!

Let's see... April we had Easter and that was fun since it was Kassidy's first, it sucked in a way though because we did not have Kruz that day. At the beginning of May we decided for Dave's birthday and Mother's Day we would head down to Vernon and do some camping... it was SOOOO much fun!!!! It was nice and sunny and the kids were able to play outside and get dirty the whole weekend. Kruz had fun with his cousins climbing the trees and chasing after lizards while Kassidy crawled around in the dirt and played in her excersaucer(thanks Erika)!!! We are planning another camping trip from the 25th of May to the 30th :), so hopefully the weather is nice, cause I have to work on my tan.

An update on Kruz... he is almost done with 1st grade, and he is one of the smartest kids in his class!!! His birthday is coming up on July 14th and he will be 7 years old... time flies. He is currently having a hard time adjusting to changes that have occured in his life. His real dad joined the Air Force and left on May 17th. Kruz was able to spend the weekend before that with him, but it has been really hard on him. Nikk will be in basic training for 6 weeks and can't really talk that much, then he will be going to some kind of tech school for 9 weeks. After that they will figure out where he will be stationed, which will be somewhere out of state since he requested it. So he will probably only get to see Kruz during the Summer time. He will get him half of his summer vacation. I just hope that Nikk will call Kruz as often as he can and that he writes him letters. Kruz is a GREAT helper, he loves to play with Kass and is sooo excited when she does something new.

Now for Kassidy's update.... She is going to be 9 months in a week, like I said time flies!!! I don't have her stats at the moment, but she is tall and skinny for her age. She started sitting at 5 months, then just took off with all her developmental stuff. She was crawling at 6 1/2 months, got her first 2 teeth at the same time, at 8 months she pulled herself up to stand, and now the little stinker likes to try and stand up without holding on to anything. She loves to shake her head and knows it means "No No", she claps when you say "yay", and waves bye bye when someone walks away from her. She is a big time momma's girl, but she also LOVES to play with daddy and has him wrapped around her finger. She is infatuated with her bubba Kruz. Her favorite dog is Roxsie, but she likes Harlies tail. She still wakes up one time in the night, but is starting to get better. She loves eating baby food, but if you are eating by her she will not eat her food because she will want yours.

Now for me and Dave.... ugh where to begin LMAO!!!! Dave and I are doing good, except for the fact that we rarely see each other because after work he goes over to the house and works on it most the night. He will come home, eat dinner and just wanna relax, then it's off to bed an hour later. Since he is soo stressed about getting the house done and working all day at Uhaul and I am stressed because I have to work, and take care of the kids, cook and clean the house, we are both grumpy and we have been butting heads about every little thing, it SUCKS!!! I really hope that when the house is done, we can go back to being happy and not argue because of all the stress. Dave has done a great job on the house though.... he has done almost everything by himself, except for framing the kids rooms. The kids rooms are done, the bathroom is almost done, we just have to put in the toilet and the vanity, it looks awesome though!!! Dave has never tiled before and taught himself by looking online, and our bathroom floors and the tub surrounding looks like a pro did it. We are almost done, there is a light at the end of the tunnel after all LOL. When we first started it felt like we were never going to be done because Dave has wanted to do all the work himself and not ask for help... but all his hard work has really paid off and now he can look at our house and feel good that he did it all. :). Well hopefully I can start posting more regularly, but no promises :)
