Anthony's Haircut

Just in case you missed it....here is Anthony's newest haircut....Daddy took him!

It's been awhile....

Okay, so I realize that I have really slacked off on my "blogging" for the past couple of months, but I have three little words that will completly sum up my absence......

ANTHONY REY BARRERA

Wowzer, this kid can go (and go, and go and go!)!!!! My mom keeps him two days a week and by the time that I get home at 5:30 - 6:00, she is litterally running out of the door! I'm telling you, he is NON-STOP! He started using walking as his main means of transportation just about a month ago and already he is really bored with everything at his eye level. Now he wants you to hold him while he points to things that he can't reach to either (i) destroy, (ii) eat, or (iii) jump off of. Yeah, thats a fun one too...he's also a bit of a daredevil. I am actually considering buying him a little red helmet for Christmas this year. Example...one of his favorite things to do (and has been for a long while) is to climb up the back cushions of the couch and look into the mirror that hangs over the couch. Now he's added his own little twist by jumping off of the top of the couch onto the couch or whoever happens to be the unfortunate soul sitting there at the time. I'm just waiting for the day that he bounces off the couch and plants it into the hardwood. So, with that all said, anyone up for a little babysitting? ; )

Jaiden is doing good in school. She is the worlds worst about forgetting...especially when it comes to school work, so that is something that we have been working on, but other than that she is doing good. We put her into piano lessons a couple of weeks ago and she is really enjoying that. She is really good at it too! She picks everything up really quickly and it all just seems to "click" with her. I am so happy for that because she struggles in so many other areas (school in particular) it's always good when she finds something that she is good at and she likes to do!

Brian and I are wonderful. We are attending an 80's themed costume party tomorrow and I can't wait to get pictures to post! Brian will be wearing a wonderful enselmble consisting of zebra striped spandex and a really horrible mullet/punkrock wig and I will be his "groupie". Just a note...the 80's wasn't a really high time for the fashion industry...in fact, any stylist that made it big in the 80's, should be subject to some type of charge for cruel and unusual punishment!

Brian is still trying to bring his business idea to life and I hope that something comes of it soon or else he is going to have to re-enter the work world and I know that he is definately not looking forward to that (go figure, huh!). I am working pretty much full time now. Most would think that is just terrible, but with the story that I started out with, can you blame me?

Happy Halloween to everyone! I hope that all is well with you all!

Love ~ M
