What is going on??
Here is a short update on our lives right now!
Emily is in kindergarten and she loves it! She can basically read now and it is so much fun to watch her read a book and get really excited about it. She is growing up so fast and she acts like she is a teenager sometimes.
Ally is our wild child! She is hilarious to talk to and she asks funny questions all of the time. She is slowly getting better at her fit-throwing and moving away from the terrible twos.
We just signed Emily and Ally up for softball! Emily will be playing regular softball and Ally will be playing blast ball. The coach told us that they have a big pink ball and they don't use gloves. Also, when they jump on the bases, they will squeak! I think the girls are going to have a ton of fun!
Chloe is walking all over the place. She is by far our earliest walker, at 10 months old! She still only has two teeth. She is starting to learn about sharing and not fighting with her sisters. I cannot believe that at the end of the month she will be 1!
Dave is selling windows and getting better by the minute! He blew his 2010 goal out of the water and hopes to double it this year. He just had a performance review and it went really well. He said at the end, everyone clapped for him.
I am back in school. I jumped back in with 14 hours last semester and I am hoping to slow it down this semester with only 12. I also just found out that I need glasses. It turns out I have really bad eye sight and an astigmatism. I am glad I went to the eye doctor for a regular check-up!
Of course there is a ton more going on in our lives right now and since my last post, but when I think about writing it all out, I usually just default to putting it off, thus the lack of posts. Hopefully I still have a few followers out there!

New Blog!
Hi everyone! I am not sure anyone still checks this blog since it has been a while since my last post. I wanted to let you know I have started a running blog here. I started it to keep a record of my running. It is sort of my accountability partner. Feel free to read or not read it! It isn't super interesting stuff, but I thought you might like to know!

Summer plans
Summer is here! Last summer was such a hard summer filled with nausea, vomiting, intense Texas heat, no rain, and not many trips and adventures as summer should have. This summer, we are trying to change that. We can't do anything about the heat except keep the girls as wet as possible. So far we have gone downtown to Discovery Green which is a huge park and event center. They have a splash-pad and misting fountain which the girls loved. We have watched Chloe learn to roll over and the girls love trying to roll her back to her starting position. We have given Chloe her first taste of solid food which she doesn't seem to be a fan of. Dave and I have started training for a 5k which we will run in late July or early August. Dave has managed to find the worlds biggest wasp nest in one of our broken garage vents and he is working on trying to kill all of them. He replaced the broken vent and now all the wasps come and hang out in front of it waiting for it to open back up. I think he has killed over a dozen wasps and there seem to be new ones coming by everyday.
We have a few other plans for the rest of the summer as well. We are going to attempt an Astros game, we will be driving to Michigan to visit family, we will be going to the beach a couple of times, the girls and I will be doing Vacation Bible School as well as a playgroup through our church which meets weekly and goes to the zoo or childrens museum or parks throughout Houston.
At the end of the summer we will be celebrating Emily and Ally's birthdays and then Emily will be off to kindergarten! I just found out I have been accepted to the University of Houston, so I will be starting school in the fall!
