Here is my one post for this month~ I have gotten so bad about blogging! Life is pretty good, not too much to report. Well.....there are a few things.
My brother's wedding is next weekend! YAY! I can't believe my baby brother is finally getting married! It will be in San Diego. And I get to see 2 of my girlfriends that moved there! I am doing a reading in the wedding. I am wearing a red dress. Which is very uncharacteristic of me! I usually wear black dresses to everything! Cami is wearing a mint green frilly dress with matching shoes. I. DIE. OF. CUTENESS! Mint green is one of my favorite colors. Is that kind of odd that mint green is one of my favorite colors?! ;)
Valentine's day weekend was fun with my hubby. We had nice dinners and saw two movies. American Sniper and yes, we saw 50 Shades. No comments/scoldings from other women, please, about how that is degrading to women and I should have more respect for myself and I should not have seen that movie. Quite honestly (that is one of my husband's favorite sayings), we both liked American Sniper better! Lol! For reals. We weren't too impressed with 50 Shades. It was long and slow and did not live up to the hype. I only read the first book and half of the second book and I was not interested in reading any more of it. And I did not like the ending of the movie. I'm glad I saw the movie so I would know what everyone else was talking about, but I don't plan on seeing it again.
American Sniper, on the other hand, was amazing. At first I didn't want to see it, because I hate watching war movies. Life is hard enough as it is, I don't want to watch a movie about a sad and depressing topic. Dave really wanted to see it though. OK so I loved it, and want to see it again! And it helped that Brad.ley Coop.er was in it!
Today Cambria went to her very first Princess Party! She dressed up in a Frozen dress and had SO. MUCH. FUN! Jacob came with us too, and had a fun time too!
I am trying and learning to let the issues go with my BIL, SIL and niece. Which is not an easy thing. Dave talked to his brother who finally admitted my SIL refused to accept my daughter into the family- one of the reasons being she thought we were too flippant when our previous adoption match fell thru the year before in San Francisco. What the what?!?! Is that the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard? Anyone who knows me IRL or who read my old blog knows that was devastating to us and I cried my eyes out for a solid year and finally got over it when Cambria was born 17 months later. Anyways, I am now starting to laugh at the ridiculous and hurtful things she did and said instead of letting it upset me. She was the one with the problem, not me. And my BIL finally admitted that I never did anything wrong to make my SIL dislike me. There, he finally admitted it. The sad thing is that it didn't really make me happy to hear him admit these things....it made me sad all over again that this person who was "so-called family" (Lol my BIL hates it when I say "so-called family"!!) totally rejected my daughter for some idiotic reason and never liked me for no reason at all. I guess the take-away message is that sometimes people just don't like you and there's nothing you can do about it. But I told my hubby he should be upset with his brother for allowing his wife to reject his niece. It's his niece too, and he ignored her too for the most part.
Anyways, enough about them!
I put these pretzels in my 9 and 7 year old's lunches for school, and they were individually packaged for Valentine's day, and they had princesses on the package and my boys both scolded me and told me not to put them in their lunches anymore- that their friends made fun of them for bringing Princess pretzels to school! Wow!
Cambria is talking so much. She says the funniest things! She is a sweet and sassy 2-year-old! We are having so much fun at mommy and me dance class and mommy and me music classes.
Our 3 year old Golden Retriever (the one who had her leg amputated for osteosarcoma) has her last chemo treatment in 2 weeks. I hope it worked, and that the cancer hasn't spread to her body. So weird- the chemo actually makes her more hyper and hungry!
The boys all start baseball in a couple weeks. My life will be spent at the baseball field 5-6 days a week. (I secretly love it, though!) Dave is at the batting cages with the boys now practicing batting, and Cambria is napping- the Princess party wore her out! Then we will meet up for dinner, and do all the Sunday night prep stuff for the crazy week ahead. I am hosting BUN.CO at my house tomorrow night. Because I won't see my friends until June when baseball Little League season is over! (Unless their kids are on the same team as my kids.) Except for a few hiccups now and then, I love my life and the people in it. I just wish I had more time for sleep!
