Time to catch up...

Well hello! It has been too long since I last blogged and I sincerely apologize for that. We got very wrapped up in our lives that blogging got pushed to the side. We have had lots happen since October so I will just get right to it.

Let's start with Bill. He is still working down in ops, but he may be back up in the programming shop soon.  He passed his PT test last month with a 96 I think it was and he was quite happy about it. Nothing too new or exciting has happened to him, but he is very happy in the Air Force and he is fitting in nicely.

As for Zoey, she has bee VERY busy these last few months.  Her vocabulary has increased quite a bit and she now says tons of things (ie. ball, sock, cracker, coco, fishy, dog, ball, shoe, juice, cheese, dada, mama, baby, and much more). She has decided that "Despicable Me" is her favorite movie and watches it far more that Bill and I would like. We all could recite the movie by memory if we had too...no joke. Zoey has also become quite the little climber. She goes up and down the stairs, up onto the bookshelves, up he highchair and onto the washing machine, and anything else that seems like it would be dangerous.  She has also developed a love of music and dance (videos to follow).  He favorite bands artists include Justin Bieber and the Fresh Beat Band (ugh). As soon as she hears the music she can't help but shake that adorable booty. One last fun thing that Zoey has discovered it the Bellevue Public Schools Welcome Center. This place is awesome! We go there as often as we can an she goes nuts playing with the several rooms of toys and dress up clothes (videos to follow).  On top of everything I have mentioned, Zoey has also discovered a love for slides. She climbs up to the top of play set at the park and goes down the slides all be herself! I can't believe my little 18 month old is doing so much. She is growing up way too fast!


Now for my updates!  Not too much has been going on with me other than the fact that I have been cast as Gertrude in The Rose Theatre's production of Seussical the Musical. It's very exciting to play such a fun role and actually get paid to do it. We just started rehearsals last week and open on June 1st.  So far it looks and sounds great and I can't wait to see the set and costumes.  If you are in the Omaha area next month you should come see the show. Other than the show I have just been a busy mom who squeezes in exercise as much as I can. I have still been watching what I eat and I exercise nearly every day. I have lost so much weight so far that it is exciting to be towards the end of the weight loss part of my journey and on to the toning and maintaining part of it all.  

Zoey is up from her nap so I guess I  should go and I'll update you more soon. I am back in the blogging mode so I promise to be more committed this time.  I'll leave you with some pictures for the road. Until next time!
