New Purchases!

David has recently purchased a dirt bike/dual purpose bike!! It is being shipped from Cheyenne. We also are proud owners from free recycle of a weight set/bench!!
I could go on with the purchases, but I won't! This summer should be interesting!

Mile Stones

Riley is rolling over from stomach to back very well. When doing tummy time he holds his head up well. He is really got a great smile. He loves to be talked to. You might get a little scream from him. I think he is really experimenting with his vocal cords. He is really watching his older sister and brother. He is wearing 6-9 month clothing. Growing way to fast!

Ashton is really doing much better with communicating. We have had a few episodes with biting, but not lately. He does well is you remind him. He is starting to not use a nap lately as well, very hard times around 5:30ish.

Breanna is going up too fast. She is very busy with school and started a new quarter, Tuesday. We are still working on PR sheets (personal reading). We have slowed down a bit. We still read a book before bed time. Breanna finished selling Girl Scout cookies -grand total 107 cookies. Thanks for all the buyers!!

Sledding

On Sunday, snow arrived in Lincoln. Probably a good 6-9 inches. We played out in the snow for about 2 and half hours. I have so many good winter memories of playing in the snow. We built a fort with the neighbors using 5 gallon buckets. The fort had a couch in it as well. Breanna and Ashton had lots of fun. We ended the snow session with sledding down Easton's hill. Ashton is fun to go down with because he screams a little girl's scream but it is soft. I was very glad to be out there with the kiddos while Daddy watched Riley!:-)

Party

Breanna is at a Birthday party for one of her school friends which at the rollerskating rink. I hope she is having fun!

Mini me

ashton has always reminded me of how I would think David would somewhat be like as a little boy (big boy as ashton would say). But tonight was very cute. David has been doing some Yoga moves at home as well as classes at the Y whenever he can make it. But Ashton has a cute Yoga pose he does with his hands! I hope to get a picture to post.

Guinea Pig

Breanna has a classroom pet: Guinea Pig, Cinnamon. She was very excited about him. She said he is smooth and peed on the carpet in their room. Mrs. Kramer's (her 1st grade teacher) sister is the one who gave and brought the classroom pet. They may be getting a turtle too. Time will tell. Breanna of course wants to volunteer to have Cinnamon over the week long break we have in March.

Day off

Breanna had today off! It was nice to have her around today. She is a very precious gem, and deserves so much. She did a lot of things by herself today because Riley and Ashton require so much attention. David took the kiddos to the children's museum today while I was at work this afternoon. Brave soul!! Next visit will either be with another adult with him or just taking Breanna and Ashton.
The kids were in bed when I got home tonight at 8:38pm so I can't wait to hear about their day. I hope God blesses all these wonderful people tomorrow while I am at work. Thanks for giving me such awesome and beautiful people in my life, LORD. Bless and keep them safe tomorrow.

yoga

Attended my first class of yoga on Sunday afternoon. Not bad. Relaxing.Would like to make it a regular sunday afternoon event. Nice touch. so we will see what happens.

AHH!!

Sorry for the delay in posting. I have wanted to write for some time!!
Where to begin. Well, we returned from Winter Park. My family and spouses, along with Josh joining us for the weekend get away. Got some skiing in. Breanna is a great ski bunny. Ashton loves the snow and Riley will have no choice. Riley did great on the ride. We did have a good time, it was a challenge though. Ashton and Breanna along got to go sleding down a hill. Ashton screamed like a girl. It was cute.
Poor David though...he scared me.
David broke out in hives on Saturday night during a snow strom(scared me to death), 20 miles from a hospital. Needless to say we made it back to Lincoln, and he called a allergy/asthma specialist. So, he is taking allegra, following doctor's orders. He does not have a food allergy from what was tested. Hard to say. It's a mystery.

rountine

The jané household is going back to the regular rountine. It seemed like today was hard on Ashton and it probably did not help that he did not have a nap. Ashton was very clingy when I got home as well as Riley. So enjoyed having my lap fill with the kiddos. Breanna plays so nicely with him that he does not want to nap. I think Breanna is excited to return to school tomorrow. Tonight she put on a fantastic show-one of her many specialities.
I think most people were glad to have me return to work. In some ways I enjoyed work, mostly for the social part of it. It is hard for me to stay on time which is not a new thing, but I didn't know how to react, so luckily everyone just went with the flow.
David seemed to survive and got some laughs out of Riley! Lucky.
David and I were very thankful to have Josh here during some of the time that David was with the kids, the transition seem to go a little more smoother. Our office wants us to set individual goals and work goals as well, so I will see what I can come with.

Happy New Year!!

Well... the start of new year!! What are the goals...how you going to get there??
To me, I am focusing on the kids, so I am not going there about myself today. We received snow!! So yesterday we (David, Josh, I(i got to go thanks to Bill and Rox--Thanks), Ashton, and Breanna) played in the snow at Pioneers Park. It was great, good memories from my past!! Ashton was a great sport. He loved riding with an adult and did a cute little baby/girl scream as he would go down on the innertube--it was adorable. Breanna had a single tube and she loved going by herself, she is so big. Acting so much older,in many ways!! She rocks. Of course going down the big hill warrants that you have to climb up the hill in all your gear and carry Ashton. Ashton looks so cute in his snow gear. What is it about little ones all dressed up?? I know Breanna was like that as well. She had an adorable striped hat she would wear out in the cold!!
But the snow was perfect. In fact Breanna played with some neighbor girls in the snow too!! Twice today. I think she really enjoyed herself, she was exhausted.
Tonight we played the Napoleon Dyamite game. quite difficult, but fun to see everyone's drawings!! Breanna definately has a talent.
Today, David waxed the skis from goodwill and his board. Quite a project, I feel like I didn't see him much today. I guess it will prepare me for tomorrow. Boy, I am going to need a lot of prayers for tomorrow!! I love you, kids (including David). You make my heart smile!
Well, off to get ready for the big day. Here's to 2007, its going to like Heaven! I feel very blessed already to have such an awesome family-thank you LORD.
