Technology, gotta love it!

Okay, so I finally got a new cell phone,YEA! For those of you who have talked to me on my old phone, you know how happy a day this is for me. It is so cool; it has a mp3 player, FM tuner, camera, and even a pedometer (what ever that is for, walking or something). I even got a much coveted bluetooth for FREE, yes, the phone and the bluetooth were FREE, could it be any better that that. I got a cool phone with awesome features and it was FREE! Did I say it was FREE, I love free stuff. Any way it came in the mail and I ripped into it like a kid on Christmas morning to start playing, big mistake. There is a reason I usually opt for the basic phone, they usually don't tick me off. As I began trying to figure things out I was quickly reminded why I hate technology, it is complicated and no one can make simple easy to follow directions that actually work. At one point I was as mad at this, my new FREE phone, as I am at the old one (which will get a slow painful death), it was pathetic. Of course being a man, because they have some technology gene in there DNA, Stefan came in and fixed what took me an hour to figure out in mere minutes, I hate it!!
As for the mentioned death to the old phone, Stefan and I talked about how healing it would be to physically destroy these phones that have given us such hell for the last month. Stefan decided to run over his phone but that is far too quick of a death for me, oh no, my phone will suffer and it will hurt. As I told my sister the plan she asked me, "You realize the phone can't really feel, right?" I guess my plan does sound sinister but it will make me feel soooo good that I can't wait to do it tomorrow after church. My phone has a death sentence that will be slowly and painfully delivered. AHH revenge, it is sweet, even if it is against a piece of stupid technology. Tomorrow I will have pictures of the cell phone death. I realize this talk about slowly killing my phone and being excited makes me sound crazy, but there is a small part of me that is taking out so many things on this poor phone. But hey, it ticked me off, and besides, it doesn't know any different, and I can take my frustrations out on it, it will be great!! Stay tuned for great pics tomorrow.

Yes I'm still Here!!

I know I haven't posted in a while, sorry. Life has been busy with school and Stefan's crazy schedule. Thankfully work is finally slowing down for Stefan and we are getting some much needed time together. As I think about the last few months there is a lot that has been going on. Last weekend I got to go to Mexico and it was so much fun. Being in another country, even though it is just barely across the border, was culturally eye opening. Just like so many of you I am guilty of stereotyping and I found my stereotypes are completely wrong. Other than traveling to Mexico we have been having fun being a family.

Alyssa, who is the light of my life, is so sweet and cute, and let me tell you she knows it. She'll say "I'm cute!" and she is right. She is such a joy to parent and I really enjoy watching her grow and discover new things. And Kaylin, my beautiful ballerina, is learning to write her name and is loving science; making discoveries about the world around her. She is so smart and she really picks things up fast.

Alyssa is so close to being able to do a flip, but for now she loves looking through her legs.

I love my little mermaids, they are so cute.

My ballerina in training, her favorite thing is to put on "ballet" and dance to Wiggles.

How can you not think she is the cutest thing ever, and those pig tails re getting so long.
