I'm sitting here, trying to watch a movie but can't quite get in to it because I'm thinking of all the things going on this year! Here they go:
1) Trip to San Diego in March for a girlfriends baby shower - have known her since kindergarten
2) Ethan's 5 year well check March 20th - yes we are a few months behind - already mentioned in Sarah's blog that his last doctors office refused to see him so we had to switch doctors and all that fun stuff. This appointment will be extremely important. More to come.
3) Taking Ethan to see The Wiggles in concert on April 5th....we had taken a break from the Wiggles but he is extremely excited to see them. We have front row! Aunt Joni and Molly are going with him and I.
4) BON JOVI and DAUGHTRY concert April 11th. Taking my cousin Dann and two girlfriends from work! Plan is Strawberry Margaritas and dancing the night away! They get funner each time I go!!
5) Disneyland - Ethan's first trip on April 24th. John, Jess, Gina/Hank, Joni/Megan, Uncle Guy and us are all going the first day! Everyone is so excited to see Ethan's reaction to the happiest place on earth! Pictures to come. Oh and April 24th is KINDERGARTEN ROUNDUP! Talk about not so good timing but we'll figure it out.
6) Huge trip to Redding end of July/beginning of August for my best friend and brothers (same person) wedding! I am so excited for him and can't wait to see him take the next step in life. Super excited about seeing all my extended family!! Woo hoo!!
7) And the biggest of all......my little boy has his first day of kindergarten August 4th. Yes, it is the Monday after my brothers wedding which kind of makes it a little rough to get him on a schedule the week before but I will certainly try. It is what it is and he is so excited anyhow that I doubt it will make much difference. I'm so nervous about him starting kindergarten but I think that is a common feeling for a parent.
I think that's it - do you think that is enough for this year? :) Besides trying to get all this in order, I've been worrying about the real estate market and my job and if they are going to lay us off. I've been told over and over that it is not going to happen but let me tell you this - the single family home builders are hurting horribly! It is so sad to see the biggest homebuilders at the top of their game slowly fall to the floor. I'm praying one day soon things turn around!
Enough - I'm off to bed! :)

Wow! What a year! My kids LOVED the Wiggles too. We still sing the Cold Spaghetti/Mashed BanAHnas song. It actually makes them mad because they're embarrassed of me now...but I do it because it's my job.
We're going to D-Land too! We're going at the end of this month. I'm freaking out a tad because I have to fly with all three of them and my inlaws. It will be memorable if nothing else.
The wedding will be great, I can't wait!!
It's kind of funny about the kindergarten thing. I wasn't really worried about Lauren, but when Hayden started, I lost my mind. I was so nervous about my baby boy being all on his own. He didn't even notice. He loves school and his teacher and I'm sure Ethan will too. In fact, there's only one kid in his class that doesn't love school and she's either WAY younger than the other kids or maybe a little slow.
Wow, I wrote a novel.
There was a lot to respond to! :) We almost planned our trip to Disney at the end of this month....had I known you all were going to be there, I probably would have!!! :( I'm excited for the Wiggles show - Ethan has stopped watching them but he loves music so it'll be a blast. We have front row so I'm excited about that part. Ha ha. I pray he loves it!! That would be VERY hard if he doesn't!!! Thanks for the novel! Love you.
Holy crap I thought I had a lot coming up this year.... you sound exhausted just writing it all out....
How exciting that Ethan is starting Kindergarten - I can't believe he's already 5 - it makes me SO sad that I haven't seen him since my wedding (nearly 5 years ago).... I can't wait for this summer!!!!!
Oh and I hate both you and Sarah - I want to go to Disneyland too!!!! :(
Front row at a Wiggles concert, good grief... just kill me!
It's all relative I guess, I knew Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, and "Just You and Me Kid" songs by heart.
Lordy!
Yes Em! Very tired just writing it! The craziness starts in 2 days when I fly to San Diego....then it doesn't slow until....well, I'm not sure it will! :) Makes me very sad that I haven't met your little girls....bums me out that your kids and Sarah's kids have no idea who I am. But it's really tough when we live so stinkin far away from each other!! I love you guys no matter what though. Never forget it!
Aunt Sue - as excited as I am to take Ethan, front row might kill me. :) But to see his precious smile....that's worth it!!
