Inaguration Day

Happy Inaguration Day to all! I am so excited for today. What an amazing point in history that we get to be witness to!
The Dudes are growing up. They're starting to really be their own people. No more little blobs that laugh and poo. Cole told me the other night "Mommy, I love you". Unsolicited. This made my eyes water. They are silly and their own people and each other's best friend and worst enemy and so amazing to me. Kanyon told me this morning that the moon turned off. Like a lightswitch. Of course it did. He also knew which foot was his right!
To my Rechsteiner Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you and Uncle Bob. We love you very much.
My half marathon training starts tomorrow. I am nervous! Never again in my life will I smoke another cigarette!!! 4 miles hurt bad this last Saturday!!
Not much else going on here so go be a part of this wonderful historic day and make some history of your own!!

HAPPY 2009!!




The last few months have been nutz fo sho! Christmas is over, and it was great. This is the first year the boys really got it and it was soooo much fun. Cole fell asleep in my bed and Kanyon woke up around 7am, went down stairs looking for me. He came running upstais yelling "Mommy, Santa came, Santa came", "he brought us a train!". Mission complete and 100% success! Was sweet that he was thinking of his brother too.


They continue to amaze me. They were sitting at their table coloring and silent (which is amazing in itself) and didn't speak a word for about 5-10 minutes. Then all of a sudden, Kanyon looked up at Cole and said "it's not paint, it's a crayon; you said it was paint!" They had not had a verbal conversation about paint or a crayon previously. Cole then said "no I didn't, I said it was a crayon!". I almost fell out of my chair. My identical twin sons had had a conversation w/o saying a word but when it came time to argue their points, it came out verbally. I now realize a little bit more the scope and caliber of trouble I'm in, along with their teachers, family and friends. Look out world, this is caaarraaaaazzzaaaayyy!!
