It's been busy around here

It has been so busy lately. I have so much that I want to write about and keep up on and I find myself having less and less time to blog. I haven't been keeping up on blogs like I used to either. I hope I can turn that around, because I miss all my blogger babes!!

So, what have I been up to in the past month...

Well our trip was AWESOME!! The trip went very well. Thank god for that DVD player!! That was the only way we would have survived the trip with a 2 year old, that's for sure! Morgan did great. She slept pretty much the whole way there and the whole way back. She wasn't able to see the DVD player, but she did so good even without it!

The trip itself was amazing. The weather was beautiful. Alyssa LOVED the beach. It was one giant sand box for her. Morgan sat well in her travel bounce chair and got to chill in the shade under our umbrella. Morgan LOVED the pool. She had one of those intertube floaty things and she had so much fun in the water. They had a lazy river ride at our hotel and Morgan would take a nap while I held her and we traveled around and around the lazy river. I never realized how much you really need a vacation with your family. It was so great to get away from reality and re-connect with your family.

When we came back we had to start planning for my dads big 5-0 surprise birthday party. I have wanted to write about all my ups and downs, stresses and irritations with the party, my family and most of all, my step-mom. But, the party was this past Saturday, my dad was totally surprised and even weepy. It was GREAT. He really deserved it and it was awesome that we pulled it off for him. So, now that it is over, it makes all my whining, complaining and outright bitching unnecessary on this blog.

Since we came back from vacation, Alyssa has been the temper-tantrum queen. She is throwing them mostly when she doesn't get her way. I hate those damn tantrums and wish she would get over them already. I know she is only 2 1/2, but they suck!

Morgan is getting big. Too fast! She just turned 7 months on Saturday. She is developing the cutest little personality. She loves to watch her big sister and she gets this huge grin on her face when she does. It is amazing to see the connection between the two of them already. I know Alyssa bugs the shit out of Morgan, but Morgan is usually OK with that. I hope Morgan can always be that laid back...LOL.

Well, I gotta get going and give the girls a bath. Yes, finally Morgan is big enough for them to have baths together. I LOVE that!!

I hope that my posts will not be so few and far between. I really want to keep up on everyone's life and little ones.
