Oops, I've been neglecting this!
I had a wonderful trip to Montana recently to meet little Miss Cassidy - oh what a little doll!  I guess I forget how teeny little babies are when they start out -- her little legs and wrists just crack me up.  She's got the cutest clothes, including a darling little denim skirt which is probably 6 inches long, and lots of little dresses.  Awww.
The boys were super good - they play together and have so much fun, and they are really into books right now so I was more than happy to read to them, book after book after book.  I'm, as always, so impressed with their little brains and how smart they are already.
Bowdrie's learning some Spanish at his preschool so I taught him some new words and songs.  His favorite word to say is rojo, which comes out sounding more like RowHoe.  I taught him Amarillo (yellow) and verde (green) but he seems to think verde is pronounced "band-aid".  /:-)  
Jonathan was sick so we didn't go skiing but that was okay - that way I didn't have to put Cassidy down :)  She told me that she prefers to be held, so I was happy to accommodate her!  I like 'em when they are this weight ;-)
Now I'm back home doing night shifts for a few shifts and plotting my next vacation.  I'm in the mood for sunshine....

Ok - here's the big news: I bought a house! Yes, I have made the brave jump from the carefree, irresponsible life of a renter and am in the process of becoming a homeowner! It still has to be inspected and there are rumored to be a ridiculous number of papers to sign, but once that's all over .... it's mine! Woo hoo! So yes, that means I'm staying in Yakima. I like the sunshine, I like the fruit, I love my job, I love the food at the hospital most of the time, I like my Safeway store, I like my dentist, I like my doctor, I like my coworkers - basically I pretty much love my life! The location is perfect. I can (theoretically) walk to work, although we'll see about that. I'm near a fantastic park, a pool, my gym, and a few restaurants. The inside is cottage style, which really appeals to me. It's a 1940's house but appears to have been re-done on the inside. It had all the things I wanted when I made my "What my dream house looks like"...

iCooked Hooray - I got my cooking project done!  It took the better part of the day and I was proud that I only had to make 2 extra trips to the Safeway store down the street!  I'll skip the details. Anyhow, over the next month or week or whatever, I'll have lots of food essentially ready for me when I come home!  I hope I like how it tastes!  It can't help but beat running to the grocery store 2-3+ times a week and wandering around aimlessly until I wind up in the frozen section once again eating stuff I don't really like but settle for due to the fact it takes 8 minutes to heat up. Today I made Mexican Lasagne, White Chicken Chili, Chicken Nuggets, Marinated Flat Iron Steak, Swedish Meatballs, Pork Chops, French Bread Pizza, Texas Skillet, and Chicken Scalloppinne something-or-other.  I'll keep you posted on how it all works out.

Musings and thoughts.... It's amazing how many thoughts can go floating through your head while frosting cupcake after cupcake. That's how I spent part of my evening ... thinking about why I love holidays so much and thinking about Valentines Day tomorrow. I had great plans to bake all these cupcakes and then spend some quality time curling my hair with my magic curling iron. Unfortunately I fell asleep while waiting for the cupcakes to cool so I am now out of time for the hair so I have to get up really early tomorrow and get curling. I celebrated Valentines Day a day early ... doing all the self-indulgent things I wanted to do. I'm most delighted with the eyebrow waxing lady I just went to today after work. She's definately an artist! She did a wonderful job and it was a wonderful way to kick off the next few days! One of my thoughts was about holidays and if maybe I missed my calling as, oh I don't know, an elementary school teacher? I just love holidays, ...
