Just hanging out

It's been a while.  I keep forgetting to post :).  

I have decided to start Discovery Toys again.  I am really excited about it and really nervous at the same time.  I love that it is a way to make some extra money and I love the products.  I am nervous because I always have lots of great ideas, but I never can seem to execute them.  I get very nervous at the parties.  I get all tongue tied and forget what I need to say.  Things are a little harder now then when I started DT the first time because I don't know anyone.  However, the customer base here is huge!  There are so many families here with children, I just have to figure out how to reach them.  I already have 3 parties of my own planned between April 9th and the 1st of May.  My goal is to schedule at least 4 parties in May, get one recruit and sell $500 in May.  My goals for June are to book 5 parties, get two recruits and sell $750.

Lopez and I watched Fireproof last night.  I think this is a great movie for married or engaged couples to watch.  The acting was kinda bad, but the message was great.  This is a Christian based movie, but I think even people who are not religious can benefit from it.  It shows how to "fireproof" your marriage.  It is about husband and wife whose marriage is on the brink of divorce.  They get so busy with their own lives that they forget about their love for each other.  It takes a book called the Love Dare to bring them back together.  There is also a book called the Love Dare, I think the movie is based on it.  I bought the book for Lopez and I to read.  The Love Dare is a manual on how to treat your spouse.  It helps you remember why you fell in love with your spouse to begin with.  I am really exicted about reading the book.  I don't think our marriage is in any trouble, but I think the book can only make us stronger.

We had a huge storm here at Fort Stewart today!  It poured buckets!  There was even a tornado warning.  I kinda like storms though.  I like to listen to the thunder and rain.  I am a little worried about Selly's little garden she planted though.  I think the flowers will drown.  She will be heart broken.

Selly had her first official playdate at Ft. Stewart yesterday.  I think it went really well.  They played with Jacob's dinosaur of all things, made lunchbag puppets and drank yogurt through silly straws.  Selly was soooooo excited to show the little girl her bedroom.  Unfortunately they woke Jacob in the process, which didn't make me very happy.  

We also went back to the Tree House yesterday.  Giselly and Jacob had a ball!  Lopez talked Giselly though climbing to the 3rd level.  She was so proud of herself!  

How could I forget the new bike!!!  Giselly got a new  bike this week.  A big girl's bike!  It has training wheels of course, but she is so very proud of it.  It is a pink Barbie bike with tassels and a bell.  Problem is she can't figure out how to pedal.  She just can't figure it out and Lopez and I can't figure out how to teach her.  

Jacob is still nuts as usual.  He is a stubborn baby.  He barely has any words.  He says, "mama", "dada", "ut oh", and we think he says "thank you".  He is still not walking either.  We keep practicing, but he is just content to crawl.  We have decided to decorate his room in cars and trucks.  We bought a cute comforter set the other day, but that is as far as we have gotten.  I hope to paint one wall in his room blue and get some wall stickers like we did for Selly's room.  Lopez is not to thrilled about the painting.  I told him just to tape the wall for me and I will paint.

We are contemplating a dog.  Not sure if I have posted about this before.  Lopez and Giselly really want a dog but I do not.  We had a friend offer to give us their dog because they can't take care of it anymore.  It is already house trained, spade, and is up to date on her shots.  I want to make my family happy, but I am not sure I can handle the extra responsibility, so we shall see.  We did go to Petsmart today to look at their dog pens for the back yard.  There were so many dogs in there!  There was a great dane that was taller than Giselly!!  It was HUGE!   Oh the dog the friends want to give us is a boxer.  It is really pretty and well behaved.  I will post about our decision whenever we make it :). 

Well I will end this for now.
