Snowboarding!!!

I have been waiting all season to get a chance to snowboard and with the weather being as crazy as it was, I didn't think I was going to get a chance to get out.  Dave has already went this season, but man I was itching to get out there.  We  met up with friends and went boarding in Big Bear.  We had a great time. It was snowing the whole time, but I had a good time. I was getting really comfortable with learning to carve and  move my board. Plus it was always great to spend some one on one time with Dave.

We also did a 10K run this past Sunday at Knott's Berry Farm.  Again, it was a nice time since we got some adult time alone and we enjoyed a couple of the coaster rides together and then went and put the kids to bed before the run the following morning.  I was happy the I ran the whole thing.  6.1 miles.  Not to shabby if you ask me and considering that 11 week ago I couldn't even run .25 of a mile.  I want to thank an old friend for being my motivation to challenge myself and do more. I think of you every-time I run and it forces me to run farther.  You know who you are.  Thanks.

Thanks to the In-laws and my aunt and uncle for watching the kids so we could have some couple time.  You guys are great!  HUGS!

Potty training Success

So we decided it was time to crack down with Katlynn's potty training.  I mean of course she's Autistic, but she's not incapable.  So, I just completely did away with the little potty and I put her on the big one and she is doing amazing.  Excellent!  In fact, I think in the past 2 weeks she only had 4-5 accidents and 4 of them being poo-poo (which we are still working on as well as night time).  She is even staying dry most nap-times and outings like Disneyland and park playdates.  It's exciting.  I never thought she was going to get it and that we'd be using diapers or pulls until she was a lot older.

Being a SAHM really does pay off.  It's times like this I know I am making the right decision and I know my job is actually benefiting someone.  Did I mention she also knows all her letter sounds now?  She is also reciting books.  I need to get it in video.  They aren't just short 1 sentence books either.  They are longer ones.

So long Disneyland... but you'll see us again someday

We we haven't exactly broke the news to the kids that our Disney days are over.  I think Audrie will be the most sad. We did manage to squeeze in a quick trip on Sunday and hopefully plan on going again one more time in a couple weeks before our passes expire. We are not renewing them this year.  Maybe when the twins turn 5, we'll re-new again. We got Knott's passes this year to finish out 2011.  

Anyhow,  Here are a shot taken from my phone yesterday.
