I'm running a half marathon in July!

On Saturday I decided that I was going to register for a half marathon - I've run 2 marathon's so a half marathon should be a piece of cake, right? Training begins today. Game on.

Wicked!

We went to see Wicked last night (after purchasing the tix back in October) and really enjoyed it. Kairee was thrilled to have an excuse to wear his "tuxedo" (suit) and Kaliya was upset that she had to dress up - typical for both of them. We all agreed that Lion King is our all-time fav but it was cool to see the untold story of the Wizard of Oz - such creativity! The women playing Elphaba and Galinda/Glenda (he he) were incredible. I've never been one to remember the names of actors/acresses. We went with Sarah and fam, Lucy and fam and Jackie and Dylan. Can't wait until Kassai is old enough to join! Good times :-) Kaliya and Kairee took these pics.

Kassai is 4 months old today!

Kassai is 4 months old today! She found her feet about 3 weeks ago and wakes up smiling every morning playing with them. She loves her brother and sister and waits for them to entertain her. She only cries when she is having trouble going to the bathroom :-) She watches Kaliya's basketball games all weekend long and doesn't make a peep. She loves her new jumper/activity center and can focus on objects for a long time. She love looking at faces and even starts talking to them! She started rolling over a month ago which is really fast - she is going to be an advanced child! We love her so much and are so lucky to have her!

We love Kassai! She is such a special baby. She is always smiling even when she is not feeling good. She has been such a blessing to all of us and we treat her like she is a little doll. I thank God every day that we decided to have another child!!!

You know your son is obsessed with football when...Part II

He is asked to write an essay on someone he admires (2/3/09) and this is what he writes (using his spelling):

"My essay is about tomlinson. He is one of the best NFL players. He won the most vailuble player award. I admire him because he went to Texas for college and I want to go to Texas for college. I like tomlinson because he is so good. He can't play because he broke his leg."

Well, LT didn't really break his leg but it sounded good. Kairee is comedy!

He refers to a pacifier as a mouthpiece.

Oprah and the Tooth Fairy can solve California's financial woes...

Today on the way to school we were listening to the radio and they were talking about how the State is going to cut 11 billion dollars from the public school system...Teachers were going to get pink slips, etc. I figured this would be a good topic to discuss with Kaliya and Kairee. Both kids listened intently to my thoughts and opinions. When I was done Kaliya said frankly, "Does Oprah know about this? Why doesn't she just give the school some money?" and Kairee quickly added "Or the tooth fairy." It took everything in me to stifle a laugh...I'm sure the tooth fairy wouldn't mind kickin' in a billion or two :-)
