Trying this blogging from iPad thing...

I'm trying to see how many things I can do with this iPad so basically I can make it my third arm.

I've been super busy lately. I bought a dental practice and I will start there full time within the next week or two. Pretty crazy. All within a week...I turned 29, Mark turned 3 and potty trained and I own a practice. Talk about change overload. Fun and incredibly overwhelming!!!

I'll be taking new patients so if you're out there and you need a dentist call me 817-457-4481.

Reflecting on my baby's 3rd birthday!

Our Mark turned 3 on Saturday, June 11 and boy was he excited about his birthday this year! He graced us with his presence at 6:45 am that morning and he wanted me to "Get up!" I said, "How old are you Mark?" He said "two" and I said " I'll get up when you answer correctly." So I asked again his age, and he quickly replied "three". He got me! So I got up...

I baked ALL day for his birthday party. I made space shuttle cookies for the kids, a three layer cake with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant stars. I literally baked up until the point we had to get in the car for the party.

We took a break from the house for Mark's first swim lesson with Emler. Oh he hated it at first. Big tears and lots of snot!!! Mr. Billy was excellent with him though and fortunately for us Mark is the only one in his class for now. Private lesson...awesome! Mark warmed up by the end of the lesson but he still wasn't really into it. We have an above ground pool at home so we were instructed to get him in it as much as possible this week. When Molly and I got home from grocery shopping yesterday, I was shocked to find my little boy standing in the pool with his dad and playing and having a great time! So next lesson should go much better.

After swim lessons we of course had to go to McDonald's, Mark's all time fave, for lunch. We played for a little bit and then it was time to go home for nap and more baking.

The kids slept up until we had to pack up the car so they were a little groggy on the way to the party. The party was a blast. It was at Abbey's Playtown in GP. Lots of friends came to play and enjoy pizza and cake. Everyone had a great time and played well together! Successful bday #3.

We took the presents home to open with family and he was so geeked! "Look at my new toys," he exclaimed! The birthdays really are going to be exciting for him now. I can't wait to celebrate with him each year!

We ended up the weekend of celebrating with lunch with family at Babe's in downtown Arlington. I had them sing to Mark and he wore a chicken hat and a beak. He took it like a champ. Love him! Wish he wasn't growing up so fast, but I'm so proud of the little boy he is becoming. And on a side note...we started potty training this weekend. He's doing really well. Here's hoping to being finished with training soon, please!!!

Really loving Picasa!

I've been trying to decide if I want to be a Mac girl or stick with what I know, the PC. I jacked my mom's MacBook from her for a few days and although it is awesome, I just don't think I'll ever be artsy enough for it. So I'll save a few thousand and stick with the PC. Thank you Picasa for allowing me to easily have more fun with my pictures. I love you Google!!!

Sibling Love

So the above picture was what I originally intended to post under this title, but apparently I don't know what I'm doing. So here it is above and again I don't know what I'm doing since it's chopped off.
