I seriously can't believe it is already MAY... What is going on here? This year is flying by so quickly and it isn't slowing down one bit. Life is still busy as ever... Even though I am not working near as much as I used to ( which has been really great!) Life is still busy.. Jonathon left early this morning to go back to work for his week on... I already miss him :( It is hard having him gone.. But when he is home we have so much fun together! Alexis loves having Jonathon all to herself while he is home :) They are always playing together.. she even helps him with the yard work! Our grass is getting really green again.. Now if the weather can just stay nice!!! My flowers look awesome, and I'm so happy they didn't die when it snowed just a couple of days ago.. WHY is it snowing??

Working at Dr. Sharp's office is fun as ever! Our staff just keeps growing! We now have a NP there that will start working Saturdays. ( I don't work Saturdays.. thank heavens!) But she is super nice.. and I can't believe I've already worked there for a year!! I absolutely love the people I work with.. and I'm so glad they keep me around.. even though I only work 3 days a week. lol
I'm just so glad I have a job that I love :)

So I'm getting more comfortable with the Rats... (I still won't really hold them though.) I just hurry and get them out for Alexis. They've been a fun addition. But a little messy. At night they will throw out their food and newspaper that they use for bedding.. so I always have to vacuum every morning.. But oh well.. Alexis loves them, so I guess we have to keep them!

Our dogs are great! They are so much fun :) They are very good dogs, and I'm glad I let Jonathon convince me to get them.. It kind of stinks that I have to post about Rats and Dogs and not about babies.. but I know my time will come to have another one someday. Until then Rats and Dogs it is :)

Alexis oh my Alexis... She just grows and grows. She has been saying the most hilarious things lately.. and I'm seriously going to have to start carrying around a notebook just to keep track of the things she says. The other day she was in the bathtub and out of nowhere she says "Better out than in, I always say!" For those of you that don't know that saying, it is off of "Shrek" when he farts.... :)
She walks around singing all sorts of Disney songs.. like The Little Mermaid song. She has the prettiest little voice!
Today she turned on the T.V. by herself.. Yes that part isn't hard.. But we have Comcast and you have to turn the T.V. on then also find the right button to turn the box on.. which she has never seen.. then once you are in there you have to go to guide and search through the channels to find what you want.. Well somehow she ended up finding Disney.. No idea how she did that, because my little sister Keri can't even work our T.V. lol.
Then, this is a little embarrassing... the other day when Jonathon got home from work.. Alexis says to him "Daddy, are you and Mom gonna have sex now?" Yeah I almost FREAKED when he told me this.. They tell you not to freak out if your kids ask about that.. so Jonathon calmly asked.. Alexis where did you hear that word? "Um, I don't know." She said. Then Jonathon asked her what it meant.. and she said "It's when Daddy and Mommy kiss and hug." WELL I'm glad that her thought is very innocent.. But we did have a talk with her and told her that we don't say that word.. and that Mommy and Daddy kiss and hug because we are married. What do you say to a 3 almost 4 year old? Hopefully we said the right thing... And I hope she doesn't say that word again... BUT now days little kids just hear things all over.. and it is very scary. We DO NOT let Alexis watch any t.v. shows other than Disney or Little Bear.. so I don't think she got it off of the T.V. Anyways... I just wish that I could place her in a bubble and keep her safe from the world.. But Alexis is a good little kid.. and if we ask her not to say something.. or tell her that a word isn't very nice.. she will make sure to tell everyone.. (No matter who it is..) That we don't say "that" word.
She is always asking questions about anything and everything.. and she just wants to learn everything she can... It is so funny, but sometimes I really don't know the answer. She keeps me on my toes.. and I love her more than words could ever describe. I'm so thankful for Jonathon and Alexis.. and my family :) Well I guess I'd better get to bed..
Goodnight
