So tomorrow Brian and I have been married 7 years! I can't believe it... In the last seven years we have:
1. Bought a house
2. Had 2 kids
3. Bought a fish- this is actually our 3rd fish... I got one for my birthday a few years ago pre-kids and then someone fed it sugar cookie and beer and he died... It wasn't me! We had friends over and the next day the water had cookie floating in it and smelled like beer.... Then Hockey 1 got "sick" and daddy had to take him to the "doctor"...
4. Bought a few different vehicles
I have changed a LOT in the last 7 years as well. I used to not care about sports really. Now I'll watch football even if Brian isn't home!
So, My friend Hannah gave me the idea to take one of those silly e-mail/facebook posts of things you've done and redo it a few years later. So here it goes! This one was done in October 2009. Only 3 years ago but it's all I could find!

I am really bad at this blogging thing...
Well, where to start?!?! Geez, I'm not so good at remembering to post on here! The kids are 3 now. We had a Jake and the Neverland Pirates party for them. It was a lot of fun! They are in to EVERYTHING! They scream and fight daily, almost hourly, sometimes all day long! They make me want to pull my hair out at times but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I love my mornings when Brian has to work and Bear comes in and asks if he can sleep in my bed. He crawls up in Daddy's spot and smiles. He usually passes in a matter of seconds then I get hit and kicked all morning long until I finally decide I've had enough abuse and get up. Sometimes Catie joins us in our morning snuggles.
I put in a garden this year. Brian built me a raised garden bed and I have tomatoes, beans, carrots, cucumbers, red hot peppers, and lettuce. I think I planted the lettuce to late and it isn't going to make anything because it is way to hot here... I got 3 cucumbers, but again, it is to hot and they are wilting. I don't think I will get much more from them. My bean plants are big and nice but they aren't producing any beans... I have lots of tomatoes on but they refuse to get ripe!
Brian hurt his back last month and couldn't work for a few weeks. He is finally feeling better thank goodness. It is still bothering him, but at least he can move and play with the kids again. They didn't understand why Daddy couldn't play with them. If Brian says it hurts and starts taking medicine you know it is bad! He never takes medicine and he was downing the meds as often as I would let him.
I start my last semester of school, my last 2 undergrad classes in about a month. I'm so ready to be done! I didn't have the money to take them during the summer semester or I'd be done in less than 2 weeks! I haven't decided if I want to "walk" during the December ceremony or not. I figure it isn't like I made a ton of friends, and would get to walk and celebrate the day with fellow classmates. I don't think I know even one person who would be graduating with me. Brian wants me to. He says that I've finally accomplished my goal and this is something that I need to do. But all I need is the piece of paper saying I'm a college graduate. If he wants to plan a party ( he better!) then he can in October when I'm finally done and get the piece of paper. I don't know why I should take part in the ceremony really. I don't know, I'm still going back and forth on it. It would be nice to get some pictures in the whole cap and gown with my family.
Anyway, this is July. I can't believe it is July already. In September Brian and I have been married for 7 years! It is kind of funny, no one thought we would make it 6 months, and here we are almost 7 years later! Now I'm sure there were some positive thinkers, don't get me wrong, and those who had their doubts but were still had their hopes that we could make it. But I know the majority didn't think we had a chance. Especially those who knew Brian before he met me! :)
Brian and I never really sugar coat anything. I'm a confrontational type and Brian is not so much. He is the walk away and cool down, and I'm the lets get this all out right now while it is fresh and be done with it. We really don't fight as much as we used to the first couple years. We had a quite a few issues at first. Now we have hashed that all out and focus more on the kids and just getting through the day to day trials and tribulations. I think fighting is good for a marriage. Maybe not as much or as severe as our fights were the first couple years, but we had a lot more going on than I think a lot of young couples have. Anyways, I'm going to stop there because one I don't want to get into our old dirty laundry, and I could talk about this for ever. I think for my first blog entry in close to a year, I have done a pretty good job. Hopefully I can keep it up!

It's been about a year...
Wow I can't believe it has been a year this month since I last posted something! I downloaded an app so maybe I can stay on this blogging thing....
What's been going on...
*The kids are now almost 2 1/2.. Crazy to think they are that old!
*I sent my resume in for my first job in over 2 years... I haven't heard anything back yet. I don't really expect to really.
*Brian is working at the post office.
* I'm less than a year from being done with school! I made the Dean's list last semester... Might make it again this semester...
That's really the sum of things... Now that I have a app I will try to be better at this whole blogging thing... I just never think about it... If I'm on the computer, I'm doing homework then I got to bed!
I hope everyone is well!

update
just a fast update since I haven't been on here in forever! It is starting week 7 of school! Only 2 weeks left! Thank goodness!
Catie is doing well. Had a few rough nights, but last night was back to normal. I hope it stays that way!
B, is still a dare devil! They are both getting tons of teeth! And walking and running and jabbering like crazy!
Brian has to go take a test for a job at the post office tomorrow. Hopefully he does well and gets a call for a job soon!
Other than that not much going on! Friday was Brian and my 5 year anniversary! I can't believe it has been that long already! It seems like forever too though. Anyway, maybe in 2 weeks when school is over I will find the time to update more regularly! Hope everyone is well!
Leslie :)

Some more randomness
I don't really have much to say... Just thought I should check in! Starting week 3 of school! That means next week I'm half way through! Yaaaa!
Mom and dad kept the kids Friday night! It was strange not having them around! Very quiet! A much needed break though! Then we got the kids back Saturday when we went up to Parker's birthday party. Lynn did such a good job with his party! She is such a cool mom! She got this HUGE bounce house! Brian LOVED it! Catie wasn't to steady on her feet in it but B was jumping and having a great time! Then to many big kids got in it and that was just to dangerous for my taste so they had to get out! But it was fun while it lasted! Then we put them in the pool for a little while. They had fun! They were super tired by the time we were headed home. B was melting down and then screamed most of the way home from Boonville. It was a pretty miserable trip home! But I missed them!
Anyway, That's really all that has been going on! I seriously need to clean house but have no energy to do it! I've been working a little on the bathrooms so it's slowly getting there. I did some dishes tonight too.
We watched Chase, Parker, & Brayden tonight too. It was fun. They are pretty good kids! I wish we got to spend more time with them! But they live all the way in Boonville and that's a long way to drive when you have no money!
Alright, well that's pretty much a sum up of the weekend!
I think I will go to bed! Night all!

15 month Pictures
Ok so I know I want to Blow some of these up I'm thinking one of each kid, the family picture, and maybe one of the kids together... I LOVE the one with the both of them and the stairs and stuff in the background (the last one I think). But I need help deciding what ones to get big, and how big to get them! So please give me input!
CrAzY!
Gosh! Things have been crazy around here! This is week 2 of school for me... UGH! Accounting, sucks! I'm taking that at the campus, much better than it was online... Might actually pass it this time! I HOPE! I'm also taking marketing online. It sucks too! I just don't comprehend the reading like they want me to I guess because the questions on the quizzes just do NOT make any sense to me! Anyway 7 more weeks.....
What else.... hummm... I seriously need to get some cleaning done! I need to go through crap and just throw away, sell, or donate some of this stuff! I have so much baby stuff... I can't decide if I want to keep it or sell it!
Still no word from the post office on Brian's job... Wish something would happen SOON!!
This weekend we had Brian's dad in town. The kids love him so much! And you can just tell he thinks the world of them! Brian's mom and brother and his girlfriend was here too. So needless to say we had a full house!
So I have tried everything to make the stupid gadget thing on here work... Trying to upload a slide show. No such luck... I don't know what I'm doing wrong it just isn't working! I wanted to make a slide show of the kids' 15 month pictures. I didn't want to have to upload them all. I tried to download a template to make a collage but ended up downloading something bad and my computer freaked out on me! Luckily it didn't mess anything up! I uninstalled the crap and it is back to normal mostly! Thank goodness!
Anyway, this weekend is our nephew Parker's birthday party he turned 4!I can't believe it! His big brother Chase starts school on Wednesday! That is crazy!
My birthday is next week... I'll be 26. I can not believe it! 26! That's like almost 30! Gesh! I'm a 26 year old, wife of almost 5 years (Next month), mother of 2. That's it! I have accomplished almost nothing in the 26 years of my life! I'm not even a college graduate! I feel kind of loserish! Oh well, I'm working on it. Hopefully soon I will have a degree and career! Ugh!
Anyway, I don't really know what else is going on... The kids are teething hard core! SUPER clingy and cranky! Can't take B anywhere without him having a melt down anymore! I took him out with me today and he started throwing a fit in Menard's.
OH! Catie bit me! HARD! I had a blanket on and she bit through the blanket! Almost broke skin! Seriously came close to breaking skin! Then less than 20 minutes later B bit me on the same leg! So I have two marks on my leg from both my kids biting me!
Alright, well I felt guilty for not updating for a while! So I decided I needed to get on here and update! I Should be doing Marketing homework. Oh well I'll work on it tomorrow, then go to class and come home and work on it more if I need to. It's due Wednesday and then I have to respond on 4 other people's posts by Friday and also do another post by Friday and respond to 4 more people's on that post by Sunday! And add some marketing crap in there too! UGH! Can we say no life for the next 7 weeks!?!?! Come on October 2nd! I'm just waiting to get an e-mail saying my student loan overpayment has been deposited! I need to pay some bills!
anyway, enough with the random babbling!
night all!

more randomness
My babies turned 15 months old yesterday! I can not believe they are walking around and talking in their own little language already! It is just crazy how fast my babies have grown! I can't help but wonder what they are going to be like! What their little voices will sound like when they can put words together for everyone else to understand. What kind of people they will grow up to be. I'm sure these are thoughts that go through any parent's mind from time to time... It's just crazy, I don't think the reality that I'm a mom has fully sunk in my brain yet. You would think that a FULL 40 weeks of being pregnant and 15 months and 1 day actually being with my kids, the reality of the matter would have sunk in by now.
So here is something most people would find strange I think... It really bugs me, when people talk about my kids as "The Twins" I don't know why it bugs me so much... I very rarely ever said I'm having twins, when I was pregnant. I wonder if all parents of multiples feel this way or if it is just me. It just seems that when you refer to them as twins, you kind of take the individuality away from them. So what, they were born the same day! They are still Catie and Brian. I don't know if makes any sense to anyone else...
So this weekend is a busy weekend. I have a baby shower that Sonya and I are planning for our friend Tennille. Brian's mom and brother and his girlfriend are coming down we thing, and I have a wedding reception and bachlorette party to go to! All on Saturday! Shew! Having and evening out will be nice but I don't know if I'm going to feel up to going out that night after a long day! We will see.
School starts next week... Blah! I'm so tired of it! I need to get in and talk to my councilor and make sure they can do my audit for my degree that I really only have 2 more semesters for my Associates degree. That is if I can pass my accounting class this time... I took it online, and that was NOT a good idea! So Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next 8 weeks I have to go sit in a stupid class from 8 -10:30 pm Yuck! Then again the semester after that for Accounting 2! UGH! But after that semester I should have my first college degree! YAAA! Then on to the bachelors degree... But by the time it is all said and done I will have my associates and bachelors degrees in, are you ready for this?? Human resource management, Business Management, and Marketing! Yes, that is three majors! It is really not that big of a deal, it is an additional like 3 classes maybe because they all have mostly the same core classes... anyway, I guess that is enough random thoughts for now... I might try to put up some more pictures on here in a bit... Maybe now... Night all!

Some random thoughts...
Hello again! I'm so glad that my text message/email post worked of that video! It was just a trial run to see if it would work! B is such a little dare devil! He cracks me up! He thinks he is hot stuff now that he has figured out how to jump! So funny. He is finally starting to sleep better. There for a while he was having night terrors. He would just wake up screaming but still be asleep. It was crazy! Most of the time he was pretty easy to calm down but sometimes he wouldn't calm down for nothing. Now we are into the hard core teething. This is making my life miserable! Wine wine, wine, wine, cry, scream, cry, laugh, wine, wine, and cry! That is what my day is like! It really wears ya down!
Brian is still unemployed... Really really really really hope that the post office calls soon! I can't wait to get back into my daily routine with the kids. Having him home is nice but, we need the money! I'm looking for a job too. I think it is time that I would be comfortable enough to put the kids into daycare. They are old enough now to be able to get up an move around, I don't have to worry as much about them being put in a play pin and left all day. A part time benefit eligible job for me would be ideal! That way we could have our health insurance and my kids would still be able to spend most of the week with me. They would also get some social time with other kids at a daycare.
Other than the job search, and fussy kids, not a lot has been going on. The kids are growing so fast! B can eat so much! B and Catie sat down when I was making dinner and they ate TWO tomatoes all by themselves! They take after their momma! I love me some fresh garden tomatoes! They used to eat cucumbers really well too but kind of here lately haven't been eating them very well. There really isn't one thing that Catie loves to eat... Brian LOVES tomatoes and bananas! That kid can put a banana away! Catie doesn't care for bananas... They both LOVE pizza!
I can't believe that my babies aren't babies so much any more. It makes me sad. With two I feel like I missed so much of them being babies. I am very happy that I got to stay home with them this long! I don't think I would have done well having to put them in daycare.
Catie is very independent. She will sit and play by herself a lot. She is quiet and so loving. Brian, is my needy baby. He never wants anyone to go out of site! If you leave the room he cries. So sweet and soft hearted. I love my little man! :) I don't know what I would do with out my babies! I love them!
Anyway, enough of my rambling!
I think I will go to bed! Night all!

I'm really bad at this blogging thing...
WOW! So it has been about 9 months since I've been on here! I keep forgetting about it! So much has happened in the past 9 months!
UPDATES:
ME:
I'm about 2 semesters from having my associates degree, then forward march to the bachlors... Hopefully that one comes much faster than the first one.. It has taken me 4 years almost 5 to get what most people get in 2! But I'm still working at it!
BRIAN:
Brian, is waiting to start his job at the post office. He got hirred, then before he could start; one of the other new hires was going on vacation so they decided to have them all wait and start at the same time. Well, while they were waiting for this dude to get back, they put a hireing freeze out so they couldn't start working... So now we are both stay at home mommy & daddy...
There is a new courthouse/county jail that is being built in Jefferson City, so Brian is going to apply there. Actually going to get the application tomorrow! I really hope he gets it. He wants to be a cop... The wife/mother in me says Hell no! But, the me trying to let him be him and do what he feels is right says, it's your decision... So, we will see how that pans out.... He is enjoying his "Grizzly Adams" look while he has the time off and can grow facial hair, and Boy is it growing!
CATIE:
Well, Catie is something else! She is so sweet and loves everyone! She is my water bug! She loves being in the little pool we have. We went to the river for a family thing over 4th of July and she LOVED being in the river! She started walking a couple weeks after her first birthday. Her hair is finally long enough to get in to a pony tail! I was so excited! Although she does have quite a mullet going on! But it's the cutest mullet you will EVER see! :)
She is so content just playing by herself. But loves her brother so much! They run around chaseing each other and playing all the time! She is almost 15 months and is 18 pounds! She is tiny! But, she can hold her own against her 23 pound "Little" brother! :)
BRIAN III:
B is also something else! But in a completly different way than Catie! He started walking really early about 7 or 8 months and hasn't stopped since! He is 100% ALL BOY! Loves to be naked! We can't put them to bed in just diapers anymore! When we go in to get them B is usually but naked and his diaper is on the floor outside their bed! He also really enjoys being in the pool, but screams the whole time durring a bath! I don't get it! Anyway, he is very attached to his sister! If he wakes up in the night and she isn't there. If she has waken up and we brought her out to not wake him, he is distrought! Catie, it doesn't really bother her. My baby boy is so sweet though. He will just run up to you and give you a hug. He is very shy at first if he doesn't know you though. And he learned how to jump today! It is so funny watching him! Most of the time he only gets one foot off the ground! Sometimes he gets a good one and actually catches air with both feet! He's so funny!
Man, this last year has been a blur! I can't believe it is almost August already! I'm going to be 26! Brian is going to be 28! Oh my gosh our 20s are almost over! I have one more week of school left this semester and then a two week break. I hope to have lots of fun in those two weeks! Then, summer is pretty much over!
I hope I can remember to keep this updated more often now! I really enjoy posting on this thing! Who doesn't love to brag about their kids?!?!
Anyway, I need sleep now! Hope everyone is well!

it's been a long time!
Sorry it has been so long! I actually forgot about this! Life has been crazy the past few months! Sooo let's see... what has been going on...?
Well, the babies are here and doing great. They are getting so big! I can't believe it will be 6 months in just a couple weeks! Yes that's how long it has been since I updated this thing!
Brian is a chunk! he is 16 pounds and wants to eat anything and everything! He gives us this look when he sees we have food. Like if I could figure this walking thing out, I would sooo come steal that from you! He has also mastered the art of spitting... Yes, on a daily basis, I'm covered in some sort of baby food.... It's wonderful let me tell ya!
Catie, she is like 12 pounds. So small and dainty! She doesn't eat quite as much as Brian but, still likes to eat! She is such a good baby! Happy most of the time! I just wish we could get her to sleep all night! It's getting better though, most of the time we are down to her getting up once a night around 2:30-3:30 then again around 5-6 so not so bad. I'm usually up by then anyway with the little kids I babysit anyway.
I am getting ready to start school again. I've been thru one semester since I've had the babies. Twice a week from 8-10:30, I must say, I was iffy about taking an in seat class, but I actually enjoy the time away! Does that make me a bad mom? I think it is good for Brian to spend some one on one, well, I guess one on two time with the babies... :)
Anyway, Other then them growing like crazy that's pretty much it... I will try to do a better job keeping this updated! Hope everyone is well!
Lots of love!

WOW!
So it has been over a month since I have posted anything! My how the time has gone! So much has happened in the last month! The babies are here! Yes I know the count down thing is still on the top of the page... I don't know how to get it off of here... It is really strange typing! I haven't done that in over a month either! Our charger for the computer broke so we haven't had the Internet other than on my IPhone.
Well, the babies are here! My are they spoiled! Wow! They don't sleep to bad, usually wake up around 3am and then once they finally go back to sleep, they sleep until about 6 or 7. They have their daddy twisted around their finger! Especially Catie!
I have decided with the help of Lynn, to call Brian III- J or Jay I haven't decided yet. It goes with "Jake"- that's what Brian II wants him called... Plus it gives him his own name...
anyway they are both starting to get cranky so I will have to add pictures a little later! Just wanted to post something while I had a little time! :) Hope everyone is well!

Another day down...
So 4 days... The babies will be here in 4 days. I can't believe it... I'm so ready, well I'm ready to not be pregnant any more. I don't really know what else to say. The thought of having them here terifying! In less than 4 days, I'm going from 0 kids to 2. Wow! It is a little surreal. Anyway, I don't know if I will post again for a little while with the babies coming and all. I don't really have much to say tonight. So I guess that's it for now. Talk to you later.

Baby Update!
So we had an appointment on Wednesday. It was miserable! But we were told if we were ok with it, If the babies don't come before they will induce on May 4. So just a few more days and we will get to meet our babies! YaY!!!
On Thursday we FINALLY got the replacement part for the changing table! After over a month, and two hateful e-mails, and a voice message! We finally go it!
Anyway, that's really all for the update... Not much going on just waiting...
Talk to you all later

37 weeks friday!
Hello everyone! So we had another appointment today. The ultrasound was really tough! She had a really hard time seeing who was who since they are so smooshed! But they still got all 2s on the biophysical profile. They are now estimated to weigh… Catie 6 pounds 6 oz. and Brian 6 pounds 2 oz. So I have almost 13 pounds of baby in me! Holy cow! They did a pretty good job on the heart monitoring this week too once we finally found the heart beats. That only took about 30 minutes usually takes about an hour or longer. I did eat a Twix for breakfast though… And took a couple swigs of Brian's Coke to give them a little caffeine! Maybe that's what woke them up a little bit and got them moving! We are 37 weeks on Friday! "Full Term" they will no longer be considered Preemies!
Dr. Stephens did ask how I felt about inducing today. He said he would do it if we wanted to but usually not before 39 weeks. I like the idea of being in control, but I want them to be able to cook as long as possible! He said we would hit on the issue again at the appointment next Wednesday, if we make it to that point.
He did check me today. I'm only dilated to about 2 cm. But, that's a start I guess… We will see how much longer I can hold out! Other than being really really tired and crampy I feel pretty good. It is hard for me to get up and down anymore but I still think I'm doing pretty good all things considered!
Anyway, that's the update for this week! We'll see if I make it to next Wednesday or if you all get a midnight call from Brian sometime this week! :)
