Better late than Never!

So apparently Im not so good at keeping up on this thing. I know I said that I was going to update soon and then I never did. Sometimes I just feel like there isnt much to say or that things are the same around my house so theres not anything to write. And I was right, not much has changed. Ty is still gone alot with school and work, my kids are crazy and keeping me super busy. Im pretty much exhausted. So the thought of getting on the computer in my few minutes of down time, just doesnt seem like much fun to me. But here I am blogging away.
Not to sound like a downer or anything, but Sunday I turned 25 and Im not sure how I feel about that milestone. I am getting old. Maybe I feel that way because physically I feel like Im old. Sometimes I think that my face is looking older too. Im just old. Ill never be young again. I mean Im still young, just not that young and my age just keeps getting older. I know what youre all thinking. . . Boo whoo. . . Right? Well, hold your tears, Im pretty sure Ill pull it together.
I guess I really shouldnt say much hasnt been going on cause Quin has started to walk. Now dont get to excited, its just when she feels like it. Which is next to never. Shes only 15 months old. I guess she just gets around faster on her knees. We still love her though. Shes quite entertaining and never stops moving. I took her to the doctor last week for her check-up and shes finally slowing down in the weight gaining. She weighs 25 lbs and is 3 pounds lighter than Nixon. At nixons last appointment we weighed her and she was 26 lbs, so shes lost a pound. It doesnt make much of a difference to me though when it comes to carrying her. Shes still as solid as ever.
Nixon never stops talking. Especially in the mornings. Nixon is an early riser and is up at least an hour before I even consider getting out of bed. So I can hear him all morning just yapping. This morning I could hear him pushing the kitchen chair around, and he does that all the time (even in the middle of the night), didnt think to much of it til he came in my room with a band aid. Apparently he hurt something, and he wasnt even sure what he had hurt, but all he knew was that he needed a band aid. He couldnt decide what foot he wanted it on. Yes we frequently wake up in the middle of the night to him pushing the chairs around and going through cupboards with all the lights turned on. And when I say all the lights, I mean every light in the house is on. Lets just also say that hes not the best sleeper in the world. We get up every night with him. Maybe thats why i feel so old, cause I dont get sleep at night. Its getting old. I dont even remember the last time I slept through the night. It was probably before I had babies. I know thats normal with being a mom but I just figured since he was sleeping thorugh the night before Quin started to, he would just keep sleeping through the night. Well I thought wrong. She started sleeping through the night and he stopped. But I do love the little guy and he is a sweety . . . when hes not having a terrible two moment. He is so much fun and he is always on the go.
Ty is busy, busy, busy. Hes doing so good though with keeping up on school and working two jobs. And when he is home, he helps me out so much. He definately has his plate full. Two jobs, school full time, two kids and a wife that is falling apart more and more every day! He definately needs a ribbon or a trophy or something, cause hes awesome! Well enough is enough. Im not going to promise that Im going to try to do this more often cause I more than likey wont, But I will do it when I can. P.S. Ill try to get some pics up as soon as I can.
