Boing!

Kit loves to jump. She just can't get off the ground. She gets as far as one foot off the ground, but that's it. We have a flat box we got at Costco one time that's flipped over. Kit steps up on it, goes to the edge and does her squats tring to jump off the edge. It's hillarious, but of course everytime I think about the camera she stops completely.

On your mark, get set, SHOP!

As a holiday tradition, Brent's sisters all go holiday shopping. They call eachother from N.Y., Iowa, and Idaho to compare notes and prices, and to see if one could get what others could not. Well for the past three years I have been in Idaho for Black Friday, and have gone with them. This year we stayed home, but we decided to go out anyway. Walmart was having $2 movies, and $15 blue-ray, so we thought we'd go & look. we were planning on getting there a little before 5. The walmarts here are open 24hrs, and so they just have employees next to the doorbusters keeping order until 5. that way you can go to what you want without fighting those who are going to another department and such. Well somone made a jump at the stuff this year at 4:45, and it started! There was a mad rush, but most people were nice enough to hand you stuff & help eachother, so besides the portable DVD player people (those who jumped the gun & started the whole store in to a panic) , everything was pretty smooth. EXCEPT the employees had forgotten to put the Blue-Ray disks out, an dwhen we asked, no one could find them anywhere. I was actually talking to the store manager, and he was on the radio trying to find them and get them out when the people started early down the aslie. He ran off trying to get them to put it back (good luck there pal). So we were out of luck there. :( but we finished all our Christmas shopping yesterday. Oh, yea, Kit's now getting all her molars at the same time, so she goes through periods of screaming & whining. Yesterday at 2am was one such time. By the time we got her Motrin & some Milk, she was wide awake. So we got dressed and got to Walmert an hour early. I guess Kit was ready to shop 'til she dropped too! Which she did. While we were checking out at Walmart, Brent was holding her and she just zonked out even with all the noise & such.

I should stop playing Tag, I'm always it! :)

Help

Can anyone tell me why my blog has spaces when I type and preview it, but not when it posts. I spend all this time making them look nice, and once they post it looks like I just dropped the stuff on the page. How do I get it to look nice?

Two can be as bad as one!!

Well, I now have two Blogs to neglect. Click on the link to go look at it. and yes, it's in PINK!

Tag! I'm it!!!

So, Lina(http://theldsfamily.blogspot.com/) just tagged me to do 7 random/weird facts: Um here goes:

1. I have worse than 20/200 vision (yup, I can't see the big "E," or sailboat if you're looking at the kid chart).

3. I have to organize things according to color, and alphabetically. I have had to stop myself from attacking the clothes hanging in the closet and aranging them according to size and color to match the order of the rainbow

5. I am an English Major, but I describe things with sounds more than words.

7. I have 4 pretty good story ideas floating around in my head and have yet to start typing one.

2. I sometimes feel the need just to be different.

4. I am a self-admitted nosy neighbor.

6. A triangle is my favorite shape, (like Tully on Sesame Street) but three is one of my least favorite numbers.

A. I do random mathematical equasions when I can't sleep. I one time solved all the mysteries of the universe using only prime numbers, but then fell asleep before I could write it down. :)

Time goes by

Here's a picture of Kit & Anya last year at Tahoe

And here they are last month

Wow They're getting so big!

Just too cute

Here are some clips of Kit playing catch with daddy.

and another one for giggles:

Kit now actually follows directions I can tell her to go get her ball and throw it to dad, and she will.

Funny things is that one time she was running around & her slipper cam off. I said "oops she threw her shoe" and she didn't get my allusing to horses, but instead walked back to her slipper, picked it up, and threw it at me. So she literally threw her shoe as well! :)
