Bret and I are getting older&#8230;I remember when my parents were 40 and I thought that was old and we are almost there. The kids are doing great, amazing us all the time. I feel very lucky as I married the love of my life and I have two healthy happy kids. This year I am looking forward to our 10 year anniversary. My only resolution like every year is to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p>I went to the Spectrum to work out. The kids did so well in the kid&#8217;s club. After we got the kiddos skateboard dog\/kitty out of the car and the kids pulled them around. Nicole pretended her dog had to poop, she even asked for a bag. We didn&#8217;t stay at the spectrum too long as it was cold. Then we played at home for a while. I was pretending to be Shamu and Nicole was pretending to feed me fish. I even got fish for doing tricks. Justin played with trains. Cindy just sat next to me and slept. I think Cindy goes home today. I miss our dog so much but don&#8217;t think I am ready for another one. But it was fun to watch the kids play with the dog. We played at home for a bit then Justin really wanted to go to the mall and get on the train we couldn&#8217;t go on yesterday. He so wanted to go, so off to Laguna Hills Mall. They both loved the tractor train. It was cute, then we walked the mall a bit. On the way home, Nicole liked the car in front of me. When I told her it was a VW bug, she told me it was a car. It is so gloomy out, we came home and just watched some TV. I needed a break! Daddy came home early which was a nice surprise. We played games, Don&#8217;t Spill The Beans and Candyland. After dinner daddy put their new easel together. They were so excited. They only got to draw with crayons and markers for a few minutes as it was getting close to going upstairs. Nicole wanted her Minnie Bank, so got Justin&#8217;s Mickey one down too. Got a bunch of change and the kiddos had so much fun filling their banks, so cute. Doing story time I mentioned the pizza place (Northwood pizza) and Justin immediately said we haven&#8217;t been to the pizza place in a while. He loves that place. The kiddos went right to bed, but I hear Nicole coughing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well it has been a year since I started blogging, I can&#8217;t believe how fast a year has gone by.
