February
Why does being a "good" mom sometimes make me feel so "bad"!?!*Sometimes having sarcasim as thick as syrup is not a good thing...* We made the decision not to go to Korea yesterday. We feel like it would be better for us to open our 2nd school here instead, and we will also be helping Soungsik's brother open his school. Our new schools will be open here within 2 or 3 months :) I will keep you all updated, but thanks for the support you have given us so far ♥*Cleaning the bathroom is fun to do, fun to do , fun to do. Cleaning the bathroom is fun to do, to do, to do, to do....I guess that song doesn't work with everything!* Happy 36th Anniversary Mom & Dad! ♥*Happy Valentine's Day! Love you Soungsik ♥*Whew...I survived Valentine's Day! I remember when it was so much more romantic, before kids loaded up on sugar cookies roamed the house like wild beasts :) It was still a very fun day though!* I have jumped through so many hoopes this year I feel a bit like a circus dog!* Isabelle looked out the window and got really excited. She said "Santa must be coming tomorrow, because its snowing!!!" Don't get your hopes up girlie!* We just got back from Isabelle's taekwondo belt test. She did AWESOME!* Isabelle insisted on wearing her princess crown to bed tonight, "because that's what pincesses do mom..."
March
I have been boxing with Soungsik...awesome workout, but now I am so tired! And whats with the jump roping??? I hated it when I was a kid, and big shocker, I still hate it. I think SS is just enjoying watching me suffer!* William is so close to crawling! He has been army crawling for a couple of weeks now! He keeps trying to pull himself up to stuff and he is rocking on his knees!!!* Would you rather be a big fish in a small pond, or a small fish in a big pond?* Its amazing how I can put William on the floor with 50 baby approved toys, and he can manage to find the 1 thing he shouldn't play with! My baby MUST be a genius :)* With the time change this morning it was like waking the dead, and after I managed to get myself out of bed it was ever harder to get everyone else up! We are NOT morning people, unless you count 1:00 am ;)* I love my kids more than anything, but there is nothing sweeter than when they both finally fall asleep!* In Isabelle's prayers she's been saying "We thank Thee to bless...the soldiers, Grandma & Grandpa, sick people, ect." I think she's trying to kill two birds with one stone, I don't know why someone didn't think of that sooner!* We had fun at the Children's Museum today! It was free, so there were 10 million kids there. The only thing that bothered me was when an employee came up and told me to spit MY gum out, because it wasn't allowed! I had horrible elementary school flashbacks all over again. Really, did he think I was going to "lose" it somewhere?!?* Just got back from the caucus meeting, I got elected as a state delegate! I am really excited, but I mostly wanted to say thanks to those of you who supported me! It was a really fun process to be a part of.* Some days the eliptical machine HATES me!!!* Still sick...but i feel worse because my kids are getting this icky cold too!
April
You never realize how much stuff you have until you try moving it all! I used to be able to pack everything in just a few hours, I thought it would be the same this time, but its totally different with kids!* William got his 1st tooth on Friday, another one yesterday, and 1 more is pretty close! OUCH Baby!* Should I be depressed that Isabelle just drew a picture of me and then named it "fat mom"? I'm sure its just because she doesn't know how to spell pretty, right???* Next to getting married & having kids, this is the BEST DAY EVER!!! And no I'm not telling you why, Sorry!* Isabelle was flying around with wings this morning and told me "I am an angel sent by God to bless people"! She also said thet she felt bad for me "being human" because I can't fly.* Taxes (yes I leave them to the last minute), register corporation, sign lease agreement (I hope), finish moving in & organizing, Isabelle's taekwondo & schoolwork, ironing, laundry, dishes, cleaning, get ready for school assembly tomorrow...seriously I could cry :( But I won't :)* At my sisters’ house watching kids. She had to go to the hospital with kidney stones.* I am so excited for my sister, they get to go adopt their little boy today!!! We are so excited to have Hayden be an "official" member of the family, we didn't know if it would really happen or not but finally the day has come!* I was driving in the car with the kids today and Shania Twain's "Man I Feel Like A Woman" came on the radio. Isabelle listened for a minute or so and then said "but mom, she IS a woman!"* Tomorrow is our 9th anniversary, and I won't be spending it on facebook :). So thanks Soungsik for 9 years of excitement, fun, craziness, hard work, stubborness, patience & love! We haven't had a dull minute yet, and I hope we never will! ♥*Isabelle had her 1st gymnastics class today. She LOVED it and did so great too!* So William just climbed up 5 stairs by himself (twice)!!! Heaven help me!* What is with the blizzard today?!? I can't take it anymore!* Liam is 9 months old today!!!! It goes way too fast!
May
YAY! I just got my new (new to me) car! Its bright blue - I love it!* Why do I always play games with people who beat me everytime...and why do I think its fun???* Isabelle has an invisible friend Kennedy from "South Jordan, Florida" and its freaking me out because Kennedy's parents and grandparents were killed by the bad army so now she is living with us. The other freaky thing is she keeps standing right behind me :(* Back from the convention. Bennett is OUT (your welcome)!!! Bridgewater led Lee 57% to 43%. Go Bridgewater!* Liam is giving me 3 new teeth for mother's day...poor guy!* So am I really supposed to believe that body wash that you put on and then wash off 5 seconds later is "age defying"?!?*Church, nap, play outside with the kids...nice day!* I need Nancy Drew to solve the case of the missing pencil sharpener.* So I did some boxed potatoes instead of homemade (1st time) and Isabelle tasted them and said "Hmmm...I don't think so mom". :)* WHAT in the Sam Hill...SNOW???* I am hiding in my room eating the LAST piece of chocolate fudge cake - don't say anything to Isabelle :) (I wonder if hiding to eat food officially makes me an addict?)* Yay! Isabelle just passed off her kindergarten reading! WAY TO GO! Now we get to go on our Mommy/Daughter celebration date!!!* Isabelle had her 1st piano recital today. Even though her pieces were super short - she did an excellent job! I can't believe she's my daughter because she never gets nervous with stuff like that!
June
We finished the fence around our walk out patio today! It looks great and it only took about 5 years to finish. One thing off of the To Do List!* I am so ready for the next 2 weeks, but they are going to be crazy! Today I have to finish getting my boutique ready, then Saturday we have Black Belt testing. We have 2 weeks to finish construction on our new school and get ready for the grand opening on the 19th. We are helping my parents move this week and then Soung Siks mom is coming from Korea next monday - Good bye "normal". Hello insanity!* Isabelle came running in my room this morning really excited and yelled "Today is tomorrow!" She was pretty disappointed when I told her today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow.* Went and waited for an hour at the airport today for my mother in law, who apparantly cancelled her flight and then forgot to call and let us know! We were freaking out for a while thinking she was stranded in San Fran, or who knows where else! But going out to dinner and a movie made up for it all!* Oh yeah, funny story... Isabelle and I were looking at some old pictures last night. She saw one of Soungsik in a swimming suit and she says "WOW, look at all those knuckles (muscles), where did they go???"* I am probably going to kill a contractor or landlord sometime in the next week, but the question is which one? I am aware that anything you type on FB can and will be used against you!* Why do I hate Mother's Day and Love Father's Day? Anyways - Happy Early Father's Day Soung-Sik!* It’s our grand opening today. And really with construction only being about 75% done and getting only 3 hours of sleep - what could go wrong?*
July
IHOP, Korean BBQ, Games, Toy Story, Carnival, Fireworks...I am pooped! What an awesome day!* When dealing with Mother in Law problems I have found the last few days that it helps to love my husband like crazy - despite his mom, adore her beautiful grandkids that she graciously lets me keep, and dip head first into the dark chocolate velvet ice cream container ;D*Hello pre pregnancy weight! I haven't seen you in over a year - welcome back my friend!!!* Happy 60th Birthday Dad!!! We love you!* Isabelle told me "mom you are really pretty with makeup on" I thought "Oh man", then she said "but you are beautiful without makeup". And that’s why we have little girls :) :)* William takes his chocolate very seriously!* Happy 1st Birthday William!!! We love you so much!*
August
That was a big storm last night. It woke up both of my kids, so we had a little midnight party in our bedroom. Isabelle was scared of the thunder & lightning until I told her it was just God bowling - yes I lied. She heard a really loud one and she shouted "He got a strike - GOOD JOB!"* We just started Isabelle on a home chart where she can make money by doing chores. Today was payday and I asked her how much of her $6.00 she wanted to put in her long term savings for college or a car, ect. She thought about it and went to put $5.00 in. I told her that was almost all of her money and she looked at me... and said "Mom, cars are REALLY expensive!!!" I love how she just skipped over the college idea!* Ahhh, Soung-Sik took Isabelle for the day, William is sleeping I am in a totally silent house with a book...SWEET!* William has been taking hs 1st independant steps the last 2 days. Not enough to "officially" be walking, but its so close!!!* I had an actual "is it poop or chocolate?" moment with William today. No I was not brave enough to taste! It was chocolate!* Isabelle did so great on her taekwondo test today!!! Good Job Baby!* Oh boy - Liam can climb on the couch all by himself. My life is so over now!!!* So I thought I would be productive this Monday and get some weeding done. The 1st weed I pulled a wasp came and stung me in the hand! It kills!!! So the weed pulling is done and now I am sitting here with soy bean paste on my hand because Soungsik swears it helps - actually it seems to be helping - its just making me hungry!* William's favorite new game is saying "UH OH" and dropping whatever he has in his hands on the floor - of course the fun part is when I pick it up for him. I wonder why I don't have abs of steel after doing 400,000 "sit-ups" a day!?!* Why can't arguments ever turn pretty?* I have been practicing my Korean. I think my head is going to explode!* Holy cranky 1 year old, did you wake up on the wrong side of your crib???* Had to post again, Liam stopped crying, walked over to me and grabbed to remote control, changed the channel to sports then he left. Maybe he was just complaining about the girlie programming and not his teeth!* Liam has a light case of chicken pox to go along with his teething :( He is being a pretty tough boy though!
September
We got 2 kittens today. We went there for 1, but Isabelle conned us into the 2nd.* Well after much debate we have decided to name our kitties Prince Caspian (Caspian for short) and Aslan.* Isabelle said in the car today "Mom, I am so glad that you are my mom and dad is my dad. I know some kids don't have that." Made my day!* 1 roll of toilet paper + 1 one year old + 2 kitties + 5 minutes alone = a BIG mess!!!* I was feeling pretty annoyed about a couple of things this morning, then I remembered it was 9/11...I will get over my little issues!* Single handedly cleaned out the storage room today. Good to have that off of my list!* Liam fell out of his crib yesterday, fortunately no broken bones like his sister did! I spent most of this morning taking down the crib and moving in the "big boy" bed...I am just not willing to admit that he is a "big boy"!!!*Right now I am listening to "pleeeaaasssse, please, please, please, pleeeeeaaaasssse mom". Has that ever worked before, and do you really think that dragging out words will make me change my mind?* I just had a whirlwind day. Canned pears, had some construction going on at home, Isabelle's belt testing, then Isabelle's movie & pizza night (we ended up with 10 kids by the end), and then game night! If I can wake up in the morning I think I'll see if I can recover the house from the natarul disaster! :)* UGH! Somedays my brain just doesn't seem to wake up with the rest of my body. I'm not complaining...just reporting!* My husband makes the best homemade chicken soup. Yummy!* I just put Isabelle to bed at 7:00. She was "tooooo tired" to practice piano but wanted to watch a movie. Then she had the nerve to talk back to me AND roll her eyes, she should know by now that after 6 pm mom isn't as understanding!
October
Isabelle comes to me with a fairy godmother figurine and asks "what is your wish?" I tell her I want to marry a handsome prince. "No you all ready have a husband, pick something else." Okay then I would like to live in a palace. " No you all ready have a house...I'm leaving."I guess all of my wishes have all ready ...come true!!!* We had someone break into our taekwondo center in Lehi. They didn't know Soungsik was there, he caught them and he took their pictures. Needless to say they were pretty freaked out :)* Don't you hate it when you have a quilt laid out on your floor ready to be pinned together and then you realize that the guy at walmart didn't give you the bag with your pins in it? And Liam is down for a nap so I can't go get them - thank heavens for good neighbors and their pin supply!* Lovin today, clean house, well behaved kids, perfect weather and Friday on top of that - it doesn't get better!* Isabelle finished her "hooked on phonics - 1st grade curriculum" today! Way to go Isabelle you have worked sooo hard!!! Tomorrow we go celebrate at Incredible Pizza!* I have been looking for my almost new camera that I lost about 2 weeks ago. I have looked everywhere and was beginning to give up hope. This morning Soungsik found it in my car - which we had both looked in at least 5 times! I am so relieved! :)* I ♥ boxing with Soungsik! Awesome workout, but I wish my arms didn't feel like limp spagetti noodles now :O ~~*I was telling Isabelle everthing we are going to do tomorrow. She then said "Mom, we better clean the house too because it is TRASHED!" Thanks baby I hadn't noticed ;D*My parents are starting to move today, my sister in law Jenny is having her baby (as I type), and I have a billion and one things to get done this weekend - BRING IT ON!* Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! I have great friends, I am so blessed to have you all in my life!!!
November
I was thinking " I am almost caught up on everything", then Liam has a HUGE blowout diaper. So bath, load of stinky clothes, washing machine smells wierd, baby sock sucked up in the filter, water spills all over laundry room, clean that up, leaks again...now I have at least 2 loads of towel to wash...TGIF!* Happy Birthday to my amazing, determined, funny, loving, inspiring, hard working, and so much more, best friend!!! ♥ you!* I love when you hear a big crash with sounds of something breaking followed by UH-OH. Do I really have to go look?!?* Isabelle came downstairs in just her pull up asking for some help with her jammies. Liam walked up behind her and grabbed her pull up and flipped it then ran off! I was laughing so hard, some things you really don't have to teach little boys!!!* My house is mostly clean and my laundry is mostly done! I will take mostly any day, because as all mom's know there's no such thing as completely done!* Isabelle asked me today if we could change her name. So I asked her what name she would like...Rapunzel. I told her we would think about it.* It still feels weird getting dark so early. I keep wanting to put my kids to bed at 5!
December
Looking forward to a night with my girls tonight!* Laughing so hard right now. Isabelle just asked me if I could call Santa and tell him she wants a pillow pet and Tangled slippers. She said "make sure you tell him he can find them somewhere at Walmart, but he will have to hurry or they'll all be sold out!"*
