Survey!

Well..... i got one...and as always I feel obligated to answer it! 1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No not really I guess. My Dad wanted to name me Sloan but my mom won on that one and I got Julie. My middle name, however, Kathleen comes from my grandmother. It was her first name. She was my favorite and I miss her the most! 2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? This morning....I came home to find Matt sitting in the chair reading to Raegan. And when I sat down he quit reading and started talking to me. As we were talking Raegan was mimicking him and talking in an unusually sweet voice and almost a whisper and turning the pages to the book as if she was now reading the book. Just the sweetest thing EVER!! 3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? No! Absolutely not! I write like a third grader. It is one of my worst qualities. 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Turkey 5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? 2 beautiful babies. 6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Ummm. of course...that was stupid. I don't think of myself as a TOTAL loser! 7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Psht....um yeah. Again if you don't know me it is the only way I treat life. I try to sprinkle a little sarcasm in with ever conversation that I have! I think I appreciate it more than most! ha! 8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes 9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Yes...definitely. It would have to be totally sporadic though. If I had time to think about it I would chicken out. But I would like to think I would be the ring leader in getting everyone to jump. 10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Fruity Pebbles. Matt gets sooo pissed when I give sugary cereal to Tyler, and I find nothing wrong with it.....healthy smealthy.....It was good enough for me growing up! WTH? 11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? NO! I despise shoe laces. They really piss me off. Mostly anything that requires me bending over makes me mad. Im just saying! 12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Yep. I do. Well maybe not REALLY strong..cause I tried to prove it to Matt one day and figured that I was sadly mistaken. Ha! 13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Baskin Robbins Daiquiri Ice! LOVE IT! 14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Unfortunately I look for flaws in EVERYONE! I think that this is my WORST quality!! I am always on the look out for the obvious things to make fun of people....sorry its just me! I guess it makes me feel better about myself cause Lord knows I have issues!! ha! 15. RED OR PINK? Red 16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? See #14 17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My Grandmother. She died several years ago and I would really have liked for her to meet my children and hung out with her as a mother rather than a teenager...when I thought she was lame. Also I truly miss Tracie and George! I hate that they live in Florida! And I miss Jenn so bad I cant stand it! She is close enough I could just go visit and I don't know why I don't! Crystal....we don't get to spend enough time together , and when we do we both realize why we are still friends after all these years! And finally Rendee! I love her and am truly worried about her right now but she is the strongest woman I know and I know she will pull through! 18. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?

Happy Birthday Raegan!!

Here is Miss Raegan on the day she was born....

Here she is one year later!

UNREAL!! I can't believe how time has flown by!I hate it... It is the most depressing thing I think a woman can go through...watching your babies grow up. Over the past year she has grown into the funniest little person.....she has such a little personality and her facial expressions are so animated. For example:

This is her fake smile....she flashes it whenever you tell her to say "Cheese"! Ha! Such a little ham! She had a great birthday and several friends and family were there. We just had cake and ice cream not a HUGE bash, but we were thankful that everyone who came was there to celebrate with us.

Tyler is doing great! He is well on his way to getting the gerbil that he has been dieing for! He is rated with a green, yellow, or red face according to how he behaved for the day....I told him if he got green faces all month he could have a gerbil. Well he has one yellow face and the rest are green. I attribute the yellow face to bad parenting on my part (go figure). He stayed up entirely too late on e night and was a little crab all the next day. So I'm letting it slide. But crap.....a gerbil? Really? That little fart is going to "show me" and Matt is going to be so pissed when he comes home to find a gerbil has set up shop in Ty's room.

On another note..the restaurant is going great and so is the Pottery Ranch. We are slowly getting a routine down, and our first DIVA night was a hit! We had 8 people in attendance and 5 scheduled for this Friday! YAY!!! Its a slow start but we are getting it! Other than that things are fine and Matt and I are treasuring that hour we get to spend with each other. Literally we spend about an hour together and somehow....it is working. If I'm not with the kids then he is but never all together until Sunday!

Oh how I love Sunday!
