Update...

If you have a facebook account you have been tagged, probably numerous times, for the 25 random things note, you may not want to do it but I love reading new facts about people. Here is my blogger version but I'm only going to do 10.
1. I have a couple addictions including facebook, food, my ipod touch and tv. I have actually decided to breakdown and get dvr to try to condense tv watching without commercials. What occupies my time?
Monday - The Bachelor and then I got sucked into True Beauty (stupid but I'm hooked)
Tuesday - The Biggest Loser and I can't think but I know there is something
Wednesday - LOST and of course they always have to recap the previous week LOST
Thursday - Ugly Betty, Grey's
Friday and Saturday - Nothing, I know hard to believe...another reason we think dvr will be good maybe we can watch some of the above shows on those nights when we are struggling to find something on our 200+ channels, it is amazing that you can even say "there is nothing on" these days.
Sunday - Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, Dexter but it is on hiatus and Trent wants to watch the Unit, which I also enjoy
So you see I watch WAY to much tv, and these are only the shows that I watch on a regular basis embarrassing but I can always have on the weather channel, yes I will sit and watch it, the food network, mtv, vh1 and E. WOW, I have a lot of hours in the evenings that I could be way more productive, I feel a bit embarrassed and am half tempted to delete everything I just typed!
2. Ally is doing very well at school and is no longer needing assistance with reading. We are so proud of her:)
3. Lanie has the biggest crush on a little boy at school. She told me that they had a conversation about how when they get to be older boys can be boyfriends and girls can be girlfriends, then she just smiled really big
4. Trent is on the hunt for a new job, if you hear of anything please let us know
5. Ally takes ballet and tap/jazz, she loves to dance and is super flexible. She can do the splits 3 different ways and often times when we are talking she will just kick her leg up on to the counter or wall, I don't even thinks she realizes that she is doing it.
6. We went to the Jonas Brothers concert a couple weeks ago compliments of my friend Amy. We had the BEST time and if you have an opportunity to see those cuties in concert I would highly recommend it, it was a great show. Lanie was a bit confused on why we couldn't go down and talk to them.
7. I HATE SNOW! I'm just so sick of the cold. I can't wait to get my flip flops out.
8. I have been feeling really motivated to eat better and exercise. Until I am tempted with something better, I'm a work in progress!
9. My sister in law (Travis' wife for those who know us) is going to have a baby boy any day now, I pray for them daily that she will have a healthy baby and a comfortable delivery, she has been in and out of the hospital with various pregnancy issues but things are ok. I also pray the transition from one child to two will also be smooth.
10. We went over to some friends house for the superbowl and had a great time. There is nothing better than a good laugh with good friends.

AND...thanks for you encouraging comments about Ally, it is sometimes so hard to know the right thing to say to your kids.

Maria, you will be sad to know I have never seen any of the shows you watch weekly, not one....have I been lost in space or what? Who has time to watch TV? I suggest you turn it off, but withdrawal slowly, as it can be a very painful process when you have addiction at the level you are operating on. The universe it bigger and better than a 20 x 40 screen, except when NASCAR is on.

Love you,
